But now, to be honest, the noble [Hawk Trainer], and the [Son of the Giant God] who doesn’t admit his nobility...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hapalos spread his arms wide, while the Roaring Bear Head Badge on Lann’s neck seemed to leap as if it were dancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look like...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hapalos whispered, but though his volume remained unchanged, his voice grew rougher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His simple armor’s leather straps emitted a stretched to the limit ’creak’ sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, a chill emanated from his chest, instantly freezing the leather armor to a brittle crisp, with a continuous ’crack’ sound, the parts connected by leather fell from Hapalos’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bloodline Cultivators pursue only the bloodline. I thought you were the noblest beings in this world, the purest bloodline, the continuation of the gods! But now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed deeply and maniacally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, haha! Now, compared to me, what do you count as?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hapalos’s body began to grow larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly reached approximately two meters five, the same as Lann, and lines that shimmered like golden circuit traces began to appear on his skin, orderly and simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these golden lines only formed a circle on his exposed chest, not spreading across his whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his height increased, so did his field of vision, seemingly granting Hapalos endless self-satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms, clenched his fists, and reveled in the power within his body while displaying this transformed body to Cassandra and Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look! Look! I am the demigod who inherited the blood of the gods! No... I am already a god!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malaka!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra exclaimed in surprise, swearing unconsciously, but the broken spear in her hand did not waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a pious person, but if a mythological figure stood before her wanting a fight, she certainly wouldn’t lower her standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was her style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann on the side frowned gravely, his pupils narrowed into slits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was staring at the chest of his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the golden lines on Hapalos’s skin, something seemed embedded in the skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like most Divine Artifacts, golden light emerged from there, and intense frost emanated from there as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Roaring Bear Head Badge on his neck reacted sharply as the opponent tore away the obstruction in front of his chest, rapidly increasing the frequency of its movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Local Divine Artifacts interacting with Magic World devices?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the golden light, Lann couldn’t see what it was, only a vague haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no need to insist on clarity now... killing him and extracting it from his chest was just as good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing certain between both parties was: they both wanted the other dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more words were exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to fly out was a broken spear with a golden blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thrown with Cassandra’s strength, the broken spear almost left a golden streak in the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"zing\", the broken spear already struck Hapalos standing beneath Ares’s statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the previous instant kills, although Hapalos wasn’t quick enough to dodge Cassandra’s spear throw, he was able to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight lift of his hand, the broken spear only pierced through his forearm, not causing significant damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Cassandra followed closely, instantaneously teleporting using the spear as a pivot point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she reformed from scattered golden particles, her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping the spear’s shaft, she thrust her feet against Hapalos’s waist to propel herself away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer the chill, the more irresistible it became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in legendary armor, part of the Amazon Armor, just a push against Hapalos’s waist coated it with a layer of frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was Cassandra’s golden light on the greaves that shattered the icy shell with a ’Kara La’, preventing it from affecting her speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hapalos burst into booming laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this all you have? Demigod? Weak and pathetic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel before this superior bloodline!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden glow appeared on Hapalos’s chest, then a beam of light shot out, slicing towards Cassandra!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra barely avoided being split like the rock behind her with a highly difficult quick maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barely ten seconds had passed since the confrontation began, but on this battlefield where their reaction speed clearly surpassed mortals, they had already exchanged several rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s too cold, I can’t get close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst Hapalos’s laughter, the sound of crumbling rock, Cassandra shouted at Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shouting, Cassandra calmly took a bow and arrow from her back. Arrows laced with green poisonous crystal flew out instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosive poison fog enveloped Hapalos, resulting in coughing sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, the power of Divine Artifacts could harm the opponent in this state, giving Cassandra some relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it can break through the defense, it can be fought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lann finally dug out his target from the depth of his Alchemy Pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I’d never use this thing until it expired...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demon-Blocking Gold Bomb].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It scatters metallic dust of Demon-Blocking Gold in the air upon explosion, naturally countering Chaos Magic Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards wearing the Demon-Blocking Golden Shackles may experience intense nausea, vomiting, and visceral cramps due to Chaos Magic Power interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alchemy Bomb rolled to a stop by Hapalos’s foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greek fire? You think mortal flames can hurt me, a demigod?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hapalos’s sweeping beam did not spare Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann deftly dodged the golden beam that swept past Cassandra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter’s legs twirled with spiral winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using [Old Hunter’s Leg Bone] [Acceleration Spell] was activated the moment the Alchemy Bomb was drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intentionally or not, the Bear School Armor’s skirt had a tiny corner clipped by the beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentos, report the armor damage status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, the destructiveness of the opponent’s beam is mainly thermal. The skirt’s edge rings were heated to a glow, but it shouldn’t damage the Valyrian Steel Armor Plate in a short time. If Quen Rune is activated, hypothetical damage may reduce further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grandmaster level armor greatly increased error margins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s brain quietly calculated the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I hate mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having completed the probing and estimation of the opponent’s strength, Lann activated a [Quen Rune] on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Artifact? Ha! You think that thing can protect... boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Malaka!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden glow of [Quen] did resemble this world’s Divine Artifacts, but before Hapalos could finish his mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alchemy Bomb that had just rolled to his feet exploded fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metallic dust inhibiting Chaos Magic Power wafted through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biting cold was suddenly suppressed, leaving only traces in the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-06T10:40:23.104Z",1,"novelbin.me","6b6c803aaea32293c70aba161aa43c5e3d0b6bf77bd7447ff8a603f0261bcec5","bear-school-astartes-chapter-544","bear-school-astartes-chapter-542",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
