Chapter 461: Priest Beast
[Clergy Beast]
It is said to be a mutation of an overly beastly priest. Generally speaking, it is the first powerful enemy encountered by hunters who first enter Yharnam.
Its huge size and twisted, hairy body perfectly fit all people's stereotypes of beasts, as if this is what beast-type monsters should look like.
The curved horns growing on the skull, which no longer resembles a human, make it look more like a demon. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the word "priest".
The terrifying thing is that although its body was already so huge, its left hand had expanded even further, and it could smash a sturdy carriage with just one claw.
It would look even more powerful if it could have some fire on it.
“My bad premonition came true.”
When Vann discovered that the werewolves didn't dare to approach here, his intuition made him guess that there must be something strange hidden on the bridge. Maybe it was a potion to drive away monsters, or it was a defensive fortification. It couldn't be a clichéd and stronger monster.
It turned out to be a stronger monster!
He thought this dungeon wouldn't play this kind of trick!
"Even if I'm not afraid, there's no way I can defeat that kind of monster by myself."
Fortunately, the priest beast fell on the other side of the bridge, and it seemed like it was guarding the place and not allowing anyone to pass. The distance between the man and the beast was quite far, and even if the other party ran over, it would take a while, which was enough time for him to escape!
This is what Fann thought. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he quickly turned around and looked behind him, taking a step forward.
Then he saw the white mist.
"Hey, what is this?"
The white mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the door he came in through?
Looking closely, it seemed that the exit of the bridge opposite was also blocked by similar white fog. Is this some kind of magic?
The body shot out like an arrow and could no longer be stopped. Vann made up his mind and accelerated directly to crash into the white fog. He held the meat saw tightly in his right hand and prepared to deal with the werewolf wandering outside.
“Boom!”
There was an inexplicably pleasant crashing sound.
Fan En's eyes went dark and he felt dizzy and the world was spinning. This was because he bumped headfirst into it.
It was at this time that he discovered that the mist was actually hard!
The fog door looks passable, but in fact it forms an unbreakable solid wall!
Why was there a fog gate on the retreat route? Without a doubt, it was there to block him and prevent him from escaping.
When he realized this fact, Vann's whole body twitched and trembled, not because of fear, but because of anger.
“Is it necessary to go to this extent?!”
If the earliest group of adventurers in the Sen Dungeon were here, they would probably be happy to see his various embarrassing behaviors, as if they were watching their former selves.
I have stepped into all the possible pitfalls!
"Did you assume I would run away?"
He gritted his teeth, revealed a fierce expression, bravely turned around to face the priest beast, and shouted bravely:
"Then I'll let your dungeon see how I kill monsters!"
That’s right, it’s this kind of momentum, don’t lose face! Gong Qiying was amused.
I don't know what the idea of this dungeon is, but now Vann is forced into a desperate situation. He has to go all out. His eyes quickly search for something useful on the bridge. Being good at using terrain to do seemingly impossible things is a compulsory course for hunters.
The position of the priest beast didn't seem to move much, and he had a few seconds to think!
The bridge was not very wide, and the priest beasts almost blocked the bridge just by standing there, not to mention that there were also scattered debris such as broken carriages, statues in strange postures, gnawed corpses, etc. The negative effects of these things on the battle were far greater than the positive effects.
Can I use the damaged carriage to block the attack? Is there a place under the bridge that I can grab? If I jump off the bridge to avoid the attack and then jump up to attack the enemy repeatedly,
His brain was working rapidly, but before Vann could figure out what was going on, he noticed that the priest beast in the distance was making obvious movements.
The opponent's forward posture was very strange. He actually used his abnormally large left hand to grab the ground and move forward, as if that was the most powerful part of his body. Wait, why did he stop? Why did he bend his left arm? Was he accumulating strength?
“Boom!”
The priest beast suddenly exerted force with his left arm, causing himself to rush into the sky, and turned into a large shadow covering Vann's head. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two was shortened, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that he was about to hit him!
"There is a way to jump like this!?"
Vann lunged forward in panic and narrowly avoided the sudden crash. Only when he lay flat on the ground could he feel the bridge surface vibrating so violently, which gave him a clearer understanding of the terrifying power of the priest beast.
Time did not give him time to be stunned. When he was about to get up, he was a little slow and was suddenly grabbed by the other "normal" arm of the priest beast. He was thrown across the bridge and slammed hard against the wall.
“Pfft—”
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Without even thinking, he inserted the blood collection bottle into his body. He didn't even dare to confirm the severity of the injuries inside his body and gave him two injections in a row!
“Ahhh!”
The priest beast grabbed the ground with both hands and rushed forward fiercely, with a bloody look flashing in its eyes that almost crushed the person. Its desire to attack was really as strong as that of a wild beast, leaving the enemy no chance to breathe.
In Vann's eyes, the momentum of the monster rushing towards him was much more terrifying than the whale monster he had seen when he was a child at sea!
He quickly jumped behind the nearest sculpture and heard a loud rumbling sound. Countless pieces of gravel splashed on his body, causing his muscles to ache. Fortunately, Yanan's sculpture was strong enough!
“Bang!”
Two gunshots were heard, and he fired two random shots into the smoke and dust created by the collision of the priest beast, and ran back without even looking back, at least to create some distance so that he would have a chance to think about more tactics.
A shadow passed across the sky, and the huge monster fell in front of him again.
Looking at the priest beast that fell from the sky in the same way in front of him, Van En was numb.
But he raised his hand and chopped the opponent's bent legs twice. His hand felt as hard as cutting steel, but blood also spurted out. He was able to cause damage to this guy!
The next second, he was slapped away like a broken sack, and his body rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
“Come again!”
Vann immediately got up from the ground, wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and revealed a smile that showed he was addicted to fighting.
Hunter is a profession that requires courage and wisdom.
They need wisdom to find prey, set traps, track prey, protect themselves, and take many things into consideration when hunting.
However, when an emergency occurs during hunting, when the prey breaks through all traps and even threatens the hunter's life.
You need to use courage to fight to the death with your prey.
At first, Vann was frightened by the scary appearance of the priest beast. The wild shape and the piercing scream were indeed frightening, but when he realized that he could cause damage to the priest beast, even just a little bleeding, he remembered his identity as a hunter.
After he stood up, he pretended to run away, but the priest beast really repeated the move of flying all over the world and smashing it down.
However, he turned around and stepped back quickly, and this time he successfully avoided the downward attack, and even his body remained steady.
Two more slashes of the sword hit the monster, and wounds suddenly appeared on its skinny back.
But the amount of bleeding on the back was less, so it seemed that this was not a weak point. Vann silently noted this point, and the meat saw in his hand deformed with a "click". Relying on the advantage of distance, he dodged the priest beast's attack and hooked the saw teeth on the opponent's left arm without any lightness or heaviness.
All he had to do next was hold on to the saw, because—
The priest beast roared, raised its huge left arm and was about to smash it down, but the meat saw hooked its left arm! Its movement turned into a boost and cut itself!
Fan En was thrown away, but he flipped in the air and landed steadily, with a surprised expression on his face, muttering:
"I didn't expect that the left arm, which looks the most intimidating, is actually the weak point."
That left arm feels much better when chopped than any other part!
Vann was able to prepare for battle and find out the weakness in a short period of time. The fighting talent he displayed might be even higher than expected.
He threw the only Molotov cocktail left in his arms, which exploded on the monster, and the flames burned its hair. The damage caused by this incendiary bomb was greater than the previous ones.
"No wonder hunters like to burn monsters with fire. This is the wisdom of our ancestors."
Vann looked at the priest beast rushing towards him more and more violently, and was already planning in his mind how to hunt it the next time it came.
Why next time?
Because he knew he couldn't win this time.
Don't be fooled by his fancy moves and body movements, but his moves are as fierce as a tiger, and the damage is obvious.
Even if the priest beast just stood there and didn't move, he might not be able to kill it completely even if he was hit by him.
It’s too hard. It’s really too hard.
Blood therapy strengthened his physique and increased his strength, but it was still not enough in the face of this situation, far from enough!
Obviously the meat saw was sharp enough, but there was not enough power to bring out its sharpness. Vann felt as if he was unworthy of this weapon.
"I want more power."
But I don’t know how to improve it.
He sighed and ran towards the priest beast. This time he planned to collect intelligence about the enemy first and try to be fully prepared for the next hunt.
I don’t know if after defeating the priest beast, there will be an exit on the bridge behind it that allows me to leave the dungeon.
Fighting, slugging, whatever word you use to describe it, Vann is now trying his best.
In the fierce battle, he suddenly remembered the little giant holding the huge axe. That guy was just like the priest beast, and he didn't move at all even when the knife hit him.
Wanna try it with a gun?
Looking at the priest beast who was raising his left arm and about to attack, Vann felt that this was a good time and perfectly met all the conditions required for a gun counterattack.
He subconsciously slowed down his pace of escape, raised his hand and shot at the enemy.
The sound of gunfire and the sound of hammering on the ground rang out together!
Not long after, Hunter's Dream.
"You'll die if you try"
After being resurrected again, he scratched his head with a helpless look on his face. The bullets hitting the priest beast were like tickling, and there was no reaction at all.
Is it because his gun countering skills are not good enough, or is it that monsters of that size are simply impossible to be countered by guns?
Fann shook his head, not sure what was going on.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have accumulated a lot of blood echoes in his body, and there were still quite a lot left after this resurrection.
"What if we replace them all with Molotov cocktails?"
Fire should be extremely effective against the priest beast. If he fights the opponent with Molotov cocktails all over his body, maybe he can find a chance to win?
With this in mind, Vann walked towards the altar and glanced at the workshop along the way.
Then he froze in his tracks as he saw the female doll.
There is nothing special about the puppets. I am used to seeing them. But the problem is
She stood up!
"Hello, kind hunter."
Meeting his gaze, the puppet nodded slightly.
