Bear School Astartes-Chapter 713 - 696. Overspeed Regeneration

"Ding!"

A gentle sound of energy being specially operated emanated from Lann’s body.

Gaffi’s anxious warning still echoed in the air.

But in an instant, Lann seemed to glitch like a video and suddenly appeared two steps away from his original position, with the layer of shallow red energy flames on his body extremely active.

[Foreseeing] was successful!

The pressure provided for this move came from the tail attack of the Extinct Dragon!

It was a thick, robust tail, also adorned with terrifying bone spikes, making it look like a flexible Wolf Fang Club.

With the size of the Extinct Dragon, the tail’s cross-sectional area was estimated to be equivalent to half a human’s body.

Even compared to Lann’s figure, the tail’s diameter nearly matched the width of his chest.

And such a strong and gigantic tail, when swung in a lash, the destruction it caused was even more terrifying!

With a "sizzle," the tail swept across the ground, and a few slightly longer bone spikes grazed the shell of the Molten Mountain Dragon.

After a burst of sparks, the basalt and obsidian-like shell of the Molten Mountain Dragon was left with chilling marks. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The high-speed airflow generated by the tail even caused the lava on the ground to instantly lose its heat, cool, darken, and solidify.

An ordinary person standing next to this tail sweep might experience oxygen deprivation and internal pressure imbalance due to the ultra-high speed airflow.

But fortunately, everyone present was not ordinary.

Lann, facing the tail sweep that nearly grazed his silver hair, remained calm and unaffected, as if he only felt a warm breeze.

His sword and hand stayed steady.

[Air Blade Grand Spin]!

After [Foreseeing], he immediately followed up with consecutive techniques.

Using the centrifugal force of spinning to increase the speed and force of the blade.

The [Turbulence] shimmering with energy flames left a slender, shallow red arc in the air.

The sword blade rapidly swept across the tail that had yet to retract.

With the sound of bone spikes ’Kara La’ breaking, and the ’sizzle’ of tough skin being cut open.

The tip of the Extinct Dragon’s tail was cut halfway through by Lann!

The ancient dragon’s strong limbs jumped backward, and the humans also retreated after sheathing their swords.

After a moment’s clash, both human and dragon retained their positions relatively unchanged.

But the expressions of the three people and Gaffi were far from relaxed.

Because on the Extinct Dragon, right before their eyes, all the wounds they had inflicted earlier were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The stab Lann thrust into its clavicle barely bled at all. It didn’t even affect the force of its tail sweep!

And the gash at the tail tip caused by [Turbulence] was closing up, with new bone spikes growing.

"My god..." Lann grimaced with furrowed brows.

"I don’t mind its regeneration speed being this fast, but its... internal organs and blood vessels regenerate as quickly as muscles and skin?!"

Generally speaking, whether a Hunter or Demon Hunter, when using human-sized bodies to combat creatures far superior in body conditioning and size, the standard procedure is to ’find weakness.’

Just like how a toothpick in the right place can kill a person.

Both Demon Hunters and Hunters would adopt such strategies.

Under such tactical thoughts, they frequently target internal structure attacks in monsters.

Finding blood vessels, ligaments, and muscle weak points to directly stab in and damage internal organs...

But on this Extinct Dragon... super-fast regeneration is not entirely surprising, but the regeneration rate of complex organs like internal organs and blood vessels is no different than ordinary muscles.

This alone is the surprising ability for Lann and his team.

How can they effectively injure the Extinct Dragon under these circumstances?

"Then where did you stab earlier, did it hurt its internals?"

Aiden asked, watching the Extinct Dragon next to Lann.

He and another only saw Lann’s [Turbulence] stabbed deeply, but were unsure of the extent of the damage.

But from Lann’s earlier words... this ancient dragon didn’t even care about internal organ damage?

Lann silently nodded, which served as a response to the two.

So the duo also furrowed their brows.

"Trouble, it’s an unprecedented type."

Wende said gravely and seriously.

"And I doubt I can hold its attention; it’s targeting you, isn’t it?"

"Such targeted killing intent..."

If the Extinct Dragon were bearing indiscriminate killing intent, the feeling would have been like not long ago when it was still in the sky.

Hanging over everyone’s heads like an overcast sky.

But just now when Wende was near Lann, it felt like a straight, chilly spear had scraped past his neck.

Very dangerous, but the target wasn’t him.

"I’m not sure what’s going on, I shouldn’t have provoked it."

"Ha, nature’s things are interconnected, how can you say for sure?"

Wende first chuckled solemnly, then got serious.

"Its focus is on you, so the battle plan changes. You’ll hold the front, I’ll take the main attack, Aiden will assist!"

In usual circumstances, the team would of course have the Shield Axe User with a large shield take on the front-line holding.

But now the Extinct Dragon seemed intent on killing Lann, so Wende had to adapt accordingly.

On the other hand, this was also a sign of Wende’s trust in Lann.

Except when Wende himself wielded the Tachi, he never demanded other Tachi Users to hold the line.

Because unlike Shield Axe, spears, and great sword users, Tachi Users can only rely on pure technique and reaction to maneuver against monsters.

Any slip-up, and that thin, narrow blade wouldn’t block anything at all.

[Turbulence]: You bastard, I’m not narrow and thin!

Nevertheless, Lann in this regard was no different from Wende.

He was very confident in his technique, especially the artistry of crossing swords.

"Leave it to me."

The Demon Hunter mumbled quietly and then seemed to vanish like smoke from the team’s ranks of three people and a cat.

Aiden, Wende, and Gaffi quickly followed suit!

Sure enough, when the Extinct Dragon saw Lann approaching, it immediately glared with rage.

Its jaw trembled due to excessive force, as if infuriated by Lann’s daring approach.

Then..."Roar!!!"

A loud shout!

The lung capacity of an ancient dragon caused airflow to circulate, resonate within its internal organs.

The roar emitted was in a league of its own compared to ordinary large monsters!

Even the air expelled by the Extinct Dragon created substantial pressure on the Hunters.

But what Lann wanted was pressure!

"Ding!"
