Gascogne’s body was strengthened by the illness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being blasted and landing, Henrik immediately readied the meat saw, the serrated blade facing the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of agility, Lann was much more advanced than the old hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t lose his balance at all, using the impact to steady himself with a backflip, regaining his combat stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dense hair lifted the wide-brimmed hat that originally covered Gascogne’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandage covering his eyes now had strands of black hair poking through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face had already elongated to resemble a wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he hadn’t yet reached the stage of being quadrupedal, it seemed that the hunters’ blood quality was higher than ordinary humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, resembling a standing werewolf, Gascogne’s basic strength and physical robustness already far exceeded ordinary quadrupedal patients!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah~ those sweet blood... They are singing to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incoherent voice emerged from Gascogne’s metamorphosing vocal cords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ecstatic and entranced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment... \"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Werewolf-like Gascogne stomped the muddy ground, spraying dirt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His massive body vanished briefly, reappearing right in front of Lann!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stretched length of his clawed hand went straight for the Demon Hunter’s head and face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the force of an ordinary quadrupedal patient, this strike would leave five deep marks on a human skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of Gascogne, Lann’s eyes slightly narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Dite instantly blocked the claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gascogne’s hand was flung high, while Lann was directly pushed half a meter back, suspended!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disparity in pure strength was evident, and Aron Dite, although wider and thicker than an East Japan Samurai Sword, was still at a disadvantage in such direct clashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lann had perfectly used [Leap of the Koi] to deflect his opponent, after the move, his hand gripping the hilt still felt tremors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for having to suppress Gascogne without harming him, he wouldn’t engage in inefficient brute force with someone he lacked a foundational advantage over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Igni]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fan-shaped wave of flames surged out, slightly halting the beast in its tracks out of its fear of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s all, since Gascogne himself was a hunter. Going against biological instincts of danger, evading blade flashes was everyday life for a hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Gascogne lunged into the flames, aiming to pounce on Lann, a mercury bullet shot from the side, straight towards his waist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" Gascogne recoiled uncontrollably to the side, like a whipped stray dog, losing balance in the muddy ground, clawing wildly until hitting a cluster of tombstones regaining his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your weapon isn’t suitable! Retreat now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old hunter shouted at Lann while charging at the risen Gascogne with the meat saw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s Lady of the Lake’s Sword, in the eyes of anyone knowledgeable, would seem a fine blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old hunter of Yan’an believed—a fine blade doesn’t mean it’s practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon first seeing Lann’s weapon, he thought this wouldn’t be effective in Yan’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its structure was too simple, lacking variation. Its blade too thin, lacking impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could deal with humans, not-so-’peculiar’ beasts, but... not with the beasts of Yan’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what Henrik believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serrated blade of the meat saw slid and tore across Gascogne’s back, stripping a large piece of fur and muscle fibers, spraying a massive amount of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the wounds appeared fierce and menacing, Henrik didn’t think they were useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast-transformed bones had significant hardness, his meat saw wasn’t suitable for combat against bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If used with the intent to kill, he could, with his vast experience, peel and dismantle beast-transformed patients through repeated maneuvers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t kill Gascogne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re not only friends; he regarded Viola as his daughter... He couldn’t let Viola and the children lose a husband and father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to retreat swiftly, regroup, and capture this ’beast’ with appropriate equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Before Gascogne reached an irreversible stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! He should’ve equipped Lann with a hunter’s mechanical weapon sooner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he now held the most ladylike threaded cane, the two of them working together could suppress Gascogne!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henrik seethed and regretted internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used the hunters’ characteristic quick flash, maneuvering around Gascogne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous fatal opportunities stirred his hunter instincts, yet he forcefully restrained it, causing only few superficial damages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after tangling with this ’beast’ for several more seconds, not only did he not hear the young man’s retreating steps, those steps were getting closer to the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly leave! Don’t be foolish! Wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s footsteps drew closer on the dirt road, but Henrik’s anxious shout was cut short by his abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those footsteps suddenly became... wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like... suddenly gaining dozens of kilograms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistling sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense sound of some massive object stirring the air enveloped him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement behind the old hunter made his scalp tighten, instinctively ducking low without a second thought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh~ Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decorative feathers on the earthy yellow triangular hat were tightly pressed below the brim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash of steel with beast hunter bones produced a church bell-like toll!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gigantic, heavy sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gleaming bright edge, dark black blade core... Its length, width, thickness combined made it seem like a decorative ostentatious sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this sword—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once fully swung! Directly launched the already 2.5-meter tall Gascogne into the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood, shattered bones, and meat exploded forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann calmly shouldered [Torrent], a wisp of white mist from the high-power beating of [Second Heart] emerging from his mouth, walked past the crouching Henrik.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive weight made Lann’s steps increasingly oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t be bothered to wait, Henrik.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, I will break his arms and legs, inject him, then let him tend to his wife and kids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1074,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.942Z",1,"novelbin.me","fbc707d64ed3cfc5fdcb65e8e3b27a4f0fea50d7ba906d9b3f8c52ee29c0496b","bear-school-astartes-chapter-369","bear-school-astartes-chapter-367",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
