MTL - Astartes of the Bear School-Chapter 28 fire tornado

Chapter 28 28. Fire Tornado

 The information captured by Yu Guang came back.

There are not only seven water ghosts and a swamp witch here, but Lan En's last investigation was actually limited by his field of vision, and he knew it was flawed.

But he didn’t expect that there was a water ghost not far away.

 Lan En’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

 “He showed up too early.”

　　Yes, Bernie showed up early. Before Lan En could focus all threatening eyes on him, Bernie stood up from the bushes.

Maybe it’s because he’s too nervous, or maybe he’s afraid that Lan En won’t be able to hold on. The reason is not important.

  Anyway, the result is: a water ghost entangled Bernie.

In Lan En's several hunts, under his violent swordsmanship, these not-so-strong monsters were even turned into limbs.

 In the folk, everyone also agrees that the water ghost is a monster that farmers can kill one-on-one with a dung fork.

It seems that this kind of monster has no threat at all.

 But this situation has its own internal logic.

 First: The attack range of a farmer holding a dung fork is much larger than the claws of a water ghost.

 Second: The claws of the water ghost cannot break the wooden pole of the dung fork with one blow, let alone destroy the metal prongs of the dung fork.

Third: Even if the piercing attack of the Dung Fork does not come with the evil-destroying effect of silver, it can still cause fatal damage to the organs of the water ghost.

 The logic is clear and well-organized.

 This is the reason why the Water Ghost cannot defeat the Dung Fork Farmer one on one.

Now, Bernie is a veteran hunter, and his combat experience is as high as that of ordinary farmers.

But apart from the bow and arrows, he only had a hunting knife.

The monsters that the Dung Fork farmer can defeat are hard to say for today's experienced hunters.

 There is no level in the real world. As long as the conditions are right, a water ghost can also kill an old hunter alone.

 “Quick victory.”

Looking at the swamp witch who was pacing with her paws on her chest and smiling strangely, Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly.

If this drags on any longer, Bernie may be bitten by that water ghost!

“Mentos, I need you to build an air circulation model now.”

“The air circulation model in task acceptance has been completed, and real-time changes have been bound to subject position information.”

  After a pause of about one second, the intelligent voice marked Lan En's field of vision.

And as he moves, the markings change due to changes in terrain or humidity.

"Sir, according to the regulations, I must give you a reminder. If you fight according to the plan, there is an 87% chance that you will fall into a state of magic dryness that lasts for several minutes. Please decide carefully."

The witcher's sigil only uses the magic power stored in the body, which is different from the large-scale mobilization of external chaotic magic power by the wizard.

But precisely because of the scarcity of magic power, due to the witcher's extremely fast body recovery, even recovering from a depleted magic power state can only take a few minutes at most.

 “Stick to the plan.”

"clear."

 There was no wavering in the young man's tone.

He lowered the silver sword that had just dismembered three water ghosts in his hand, hunched his body, and walked along an arc.

 Hostility and murderous intent tug at the nerves of the remaining monsters, forcing them to respond to the enemy's actions.

This response may be big or small, even if it is just a few movements of the feet.

 But for Lan En, it is enough.

The remaining four water ghosts and a swamp witch who picked up another stone from the ground stood vaguely on a straight path, amidst this invisible restraint.

At this point, Lan En's originally arched body slowly stood upright under the monster's gaze.

 Humans' abnormal behavior only made the monsters more vigilant, and they kept roaring and making strange noises.

　　Until the young man put his silver sword, which was still stained with blood, into the scabbard on his back leisurely.

 “Whoa?”

The water ghosts are a little confused. Their fish-like brains cannot understand why there are creatures that put away their claws when fighting.

 But they will not stop hunting because of doubts.

More intense and unbridled hostility began to appear on the monsters.

Facing this scene, Lan En calmly raised his left hand in their direction. A cold white magic aura spread out.

 “Alder.”

Psychokinetic shock wave.

 “Bang—”

 A moderate blast of air hit the monsters.

 The monsters who instinctively assumed a defensive posture and protected their heads with both arms were even a little confused.

This power is so small? !

 The dead fish eyes looked at each other.

  Rather than calling it a "psychokinetic shock", it's more like a fairly strong wind.

Compared with Lan En's violent and ferocious swordsmanship just now, it was even too weak to be worth mentioning.

 The air flow brought up by the seal is still blowing.

wind?

 “Whoa?”

The Swamp Witch feels something is wrong.

 When will there be wind in such a dense forest? !

“The air circulation model has been constructed, with a completion level of 68% and meeting the usage standards.”

Then, the swamp witch saw the human being not far away, and before she had time to put down her left hand, she raised her right hand.

It was also a dazzling gesture, but this time it lit up with a warm orange light.

 Inexplicably, a sense of danger suddenly made him scream.

　　“Wow wow wow!!”

 But the scream was accompanied by a gentle human voice.

 —Igni.”

 “Boom!!”

A scorching fire burst out from the center of Lan En's handprint in an instant!

However, the magic flame that was supposed to be sprayed forward was caught in the inexplicable wind half a meter away from the palm of the hand.

 Until then, after being rendered by flames, the invisible wind was drawn into a concrete form.

 —That’s a spiral winding airflow!

  It's like a small tornado that has been laid down!

The airflow constantly envelops the surrounding air, bringing sufficient oxygen, and Igni's flames burn more and more fiercely with the supply of oxygen!

The fire tornado, which was more than two meters in diameter and extended to ten meters in length, enveloped all the water ghosts and swamp witches on a straight path.

The body fluids under the skin were boiling, and the monsters let out a scream that would make other monsters tremble in fear.

 In a temperature-gathering environment like a small tornado, even the magic flame can easily reach thousands of degrees.

This group of water ghosts and swamp witches, when the fire tornado dissipated a few seconds later, only the corpses whose skin had been completely burned were left.

The puddles in the forest have also been evaporated, and white smoke is rising from the foul-smelling soil.

Lan immediately stretched his legs and gasped for air after making the Igni seal.

 The subsequent flames are purely the spontaneous combustion of the fire tornado.

 Spelling two magic seals in a row is supposed to be the strength of the Griffin School. It is not easy for him to use it even if he is from the Bear School.

 The fire tornado in front of him has dissipated, but the remaining warmth makes his skin ache.

 Lan En had been panting for several seconds, but he couldn't feel the abnormality in his body returning with his breathing.

 Because what he lacks is not physical strength, but magic power. It's just that the lack of magical power is very similar to the lack of physical strength.

With his body still tired for a few minutes, Lan En endured the discomfort and pulled out the silver sword behind him, throwing it in Bernie's direction.

When the water ghost was about to peel off his neck with its claws, it pierced the opponent's heart first.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

The water ghost suddenly became limp and fell down with the silver sword, making a crisp "ding" sound.

Lan En’s originally soothing brows immediately stiffened.

“Fuck, the sword I just repaired! It’s because the blade hit the stone!”

 Lan walked to Bernie and pulled him up from the ground, frowning.

“Just now I put the **** sword back into its sheath, and this time I even have to change the scabbard.”
