I still have a chance to live!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can still survive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I’m not directly hit by the legendary Sunshine Spear, why can’t I live!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Race’s lightning simply cannot restrain me, my body isn’t as fragile as humans or the Divine Race, it doesn’t die that easily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as long as I’m not struck directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shalivan must have deceived me! Betrayed me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lured me to Ilyushil to eliminate me, to obtain the Lord of Cinder’s ’kindling’! He’s an undercover for the Dark Moon Sect!

live, requires...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s body hair that was lying flat suddenly stood up in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making his smooth silver hair look almost frizzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Lann’s smile remains unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows, Elderidge has set his sights on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it doesn’t matter, this was his intention to shift Elderidge’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Rong Buqiu understands about him: he is truly displeased about the fact he was defeated just by glimpsing the essence of this Lord of Cinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although hurting Elderidge is already considered a heroic achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Lann were so easily satisfied, he likely would not have made it this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm grinds the debris of the demolished buildings by the Nameless King into fragments, now starting to damage those foundational blocks not yet cut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great doorframe where Elderidge resides begins crumbling down from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mixed storm of debris grows more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Profound Saint, desperate for survival, also curls his tar-like body together like a coiled snake ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s hand reaches into the alchemy pouch at his back waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his eyes, since jumping off the Qilin, have become unfathomably deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spiritual Vision] is activated, the deeper world’s appearance unfolds before the Demon Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Demon Hunter continuously watches that pool of dark mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness within his body has never been so active, fear and pain subsequently emerge within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black tears flow unbidden from his eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, it seems like the [Holy Chant Gland] has somewhat adapted from the pressure faced in the last encounter, or perhaps Lann’s will forcibly resisted the pain of darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, Lann’s gaze and [Spiritual Vision] never waver in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nameless King in the sky, his arm wielding the Sunshine Spear already begins to swing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a face of black steel, silent and hard from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the terrifying pressure, Elderidge cannot bear it, his curled-up body abruptly extends!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the rumbling thunder and storm, the tip of the dark mud transforms into jagged spines, piercing towards Lann down the steps!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Demon Hunter, enduring the pain of insects gnawing within his body, and the abnormal flow of dark liquid from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He draws out a huge and heavy Greatsword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Muddy Stream·Destruction]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since slaying the White Dragon Demon King Ausloes, events have unfolded one after the other, leaving Lann no time to maintain this Greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Greatsword inherently requires no maintenance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword, inheriting the Extinct Dragon’s devouring and regenerative capacity, though lifeless, is estimated to possess vitality stronger than most living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Elderidge again, Lann constantly hidden, indifferent heart finally reveals its resolve in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold, angry...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Buqiu is right, Lann actually always viewed the incident of ’injuring himself just by glancing at Elderidge’ as a blemish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pride was utterly disgusted by it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh beneath the armor tensed inch by inch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large and shapely muscles began to fill with blood and swell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful blood-pumping ability of the [Second Heart] allowed the body’s capabilities to fully unleash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hormones from the [Holy Chant Gland] also activated the immense strength of this biochemically modified body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flow of strength between the muscles was guided by precise and appropriate techniques, finally gathering in the hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leather on the gloves and the Extinct Dragon skin wrapped around the hilt of [Muddy Stream·Destruction] emitted a tooth-grinding ’creak’ sound from the squeezing and friction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful grip strength and techniques full of determination and will... ultimately triggered a transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original [Muddy Stream·Destruction] had inherited the traits of the Extinct Dragon, automatically emitting a cruel, brutal aura upon unsheathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough even to drive weaker creatures insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under Lann’s swing, this Greatsword underwent a change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of \"cracking\" faintly emanated from the hilt held by Lann, extending upwards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not because Lann’s grip strength was enough to crush a hilt forged from solid Valerian steel and Extinct Dragon material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was more like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon hatching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heat erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the air around the sword was baked to the point where light distorted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally black sword body and white blade, simple in appearance, began to spread with lightning-patterned cracks from the hilt, covering the entire sword body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t just simple cracking; intense red light was bursting out from those lightning-patterned cracks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if shattering a whole block of freshly solidified basalt, revealing inside the flowing, dazzling, scorching magma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Lann was perplexed by the change in his Greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, he instinctively understood...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when he placed the remnants of the Spiral Sword into the Alchemy Pouch, it made a sound of hard objects clashing. And this is the result after the Spiral Sword’s tip was devoured by [Muddy Stream·Destruction].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiral Sword is a token of Fire, a ceremonial artifact closely connected to the original flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, on this Greatsword, the fire ignited is none other than the slight embers left after the Lords of Fire through generations, who inherited the original flame, burned out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Embers].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elderidge, despite using all his strength to pierce, could no longer withhold his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Lann’s Greatsword’s flames ignited, Elderidge seemed more terrified than if he had seen the Nameless King in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that pool of black sludge, in extreme fear, emitted a physical scream rather than a soul’s whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp noise did not affect Lann’s steady swordsmanship one bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spiritual Vision] brought pain, yet in constant observation yielded more information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elderidge’s innermost was deep and terrifying, but Lann continued to observe and watch within, then... swung this blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like thrusting a red-hot branding iron into a sticky, muddy oil barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extreme insight and logical planning, allowed Lann during the momentary clash not to be pierced by Elderidge’s extended Spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, through the gaps in the dense Spines, the flame-engulfed Greatsword slashed down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed like that of a cathedral bell, starkly different from the ’splash’ of mucus hitting during Gwendolin’s previous battle with Elderidge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still that crumbling skull, hidden in the black sludge, crookedly wearing a bishop’s white crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann once again accurately found him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment [Muddy Stream·Destruction] struck, the black sludge overflowing from Elderidge almost froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, like playing in reverse a thousandfold, the black sludge rapidly retracted, surged into that massive breach cleaved into the skull, the edges still burning with tiny flames!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the skull from when Elderidge was still humanoid, his ’firewood’ as a Lord of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the momentary clash passed, Lann’s movements did not cease in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the instant the black sludge gathered into the skull, he lifted his foot and kicked the skull back into the already ruined sleeping palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strike is a strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after... \"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden thundering spears of lightning, accompanied by deafening thunder, descended from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the Sunshine Spear seemed to pierce the pedestal of Yanorlund higher than the mountains without obstruction! Straight to the core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A half-second after the Sunshine Spear was cast, a field of white light filled Lann’s vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by a strong shockwave blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a tiny bug in a gale, Lann was tossed into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire pedestal of the Yanorlund city where the sleeping palace was located, along with the mountain mass beneath the pedestal... all blasted into fragments by a Sunshine Spear from the Nameless King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lann, swept up by the blast, didn’t fly far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A precisely controlled small whirlwind lifted him and protected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So beneath this Sunshine Spear that nearly shattered a mountain range, he had a safe and visually clear vantage point.\u003C\u002Fp>",1670,"2026-06-06T10:40:28.727Z",1,"novelbin.me","a545289ae170a8c40cf9c4ea8cb55396841198d00c579578b17142af7bef648c","bear-school-astartes-chapter-1026","bear-school-astartes-chapter-1025",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
