Chapter 51 - Let's unleash a silky little combo from Yharnam

Looking around at the endless gates, a solemn expression appeared in Eredin's eyes. Looking at Ron, a knowing look appeared in her eyes as she said:

"It may seem crazy and outrageous, but wasn't this something you planned all along?"

Under Ciri and Geralt's puzzled gazes, Eredin quickly regained her composure and looked at Ron with calm and serious eyes, saying:

"You amplified my mental fluctuations and pulled me into your domain in my moments of rage, thus maximizing the limitation of the Ancient Blood's power enhancement on me... In any case, your plan succeeded. But this is a meaningless struggle. What Ciri told you was just the most superficial manipulation. The power of the Ancient Blood is far greater than you imagine, and I will kill you, tear apart your domain, and enslave your world!"

Upon hearing Eredin's words, Ciri and Geralt exchanged a glance, then looked at Ron before looking away.

The main problem is that Ron's ideas are always very unpredictable. Even now, even with what Ericin said, they still can't come up with a definite idea.

Ron, however, paid even less attention. He looked at Eredin, and the meat saw in his hand, along with the opening and closing of the mechanism, reverted from its long-handled axe form to a shape resembling a combination of a hand axe and a handsaw. He straightened up, looking at Eredin with bloodshot eyes filled with intense heat.

"I don't want anyone from the other side to interfere with this battle."

Hearing Ron's words, Nakime nodded silently. She then plucked the strings of her biwa, and as the clear melody filled the air, the surrounding space distorted at an alarming rate. In just a moment, the countless Wild Hunt knights were separated into different areas by the endlessly proliferating gates.

In Ron's view, Nakime's Infinity Castle is a more promising ability than all of Muzan Kibutsuji's powers. Essentially, the Infinity Castle isn't constructed through Blood Demon Art, but rather a small barrier unfolding within the realm of arcane energy, using Blood Demon Art as a medium. Depending on the user, it possesses limitless potential.

The moment Ron performed his blood healing, the Infinity Castle became his domain. Nakime was more like a manager; after all, Ron was always lazy, and having him manage the Infinity Castle would only turn it into a garbage dump where he'd just throw things in and then ignore it.

Just like now, Ron completely disregarded the thoughts of the other Wild Hunt Knights, instead having Nakime divide the battlefield to prevent them from interfering with the main battle.

Upon realizing that Ron intended to divide the battlefield, some Wild Hunt riders instinctively steered their mounts toward the center, hoping to help Eredin win the battle. However, they had barely taken a few steps when another door would instantly appear in front of them, and they would be magically flung to another edge of the Infinite City.

Seeing this, Eridin nodded, raised his sword, and white frost surged around him, turning into stubborn ice that adhered to his body, causing the temperature of the entire space to plummet by tens of degrees.

"Let me begin your apocalypse."

In response, he picked up a lightning talisman and rubbed it on the meat saw. As the secret energy burned, a leaping bolt of lightning appeared on the originally dull, scarlet meat saw.

If you have too much hair, you will be weak to fire, if you have too much iron, you will be weak to thunder, if you are fat, you will be weak to chrysanthemums, and if you are big, you will be weak to gate.

Ron raised his head, exhaled a breath of stale air, and in the instant he took a step, he became a blur. The seemingly heavy butcher's saw burst forth with unimaginable speed in that instant, appearing beside Eredin. The butcher's saw in his hand transformed into a black light, striking horizontally, as if it would cut Eredin in two at any moment.

Eridian didn't let Ron slaughter her. She gripped her greatsword tightly with her right arm, while her left hand yanked sharply into the space in front of her. Although she couldn't directly tear apart the Infinite City's domain and return it to the material world, she blurred the spatial boundaries in that instant, causing Ron's slash to land on an infinite spatial scale within mere inches.

But in just a moment, Ron perceived this infinite spatial scale, which ordinary people could not even perceive, and tore it apart in an instant!

The blood of Rom the Foolish Spider granted Ron a perception beyond the scale of time, while the blood of the Heavenly Messenger's clan granted Ron a perception beyond the scale of space!

The heavy saw blade slashed towards Eredin's body, but she was prepared; the frost-formed armor clashed with the blade, sending up a barrage of ice and shockwaves. Looking at Ron, Eredin's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"You can sense the scale of space? Looks like you were prepared!"

As he spoke, Eredin raised his greatsword and brought it down with a thunderous crash. A barely perceptible stream of light swirled around the blade, leaving a pale crack at the moment of impact. At the crack, frost surged in like an avalanche, and the temperature, already extremely low due to Eredin, plummeted to minus eighty degrees in an instant.

This temperature wasn't a brutal freeze, but rather it instantly drained the heat and warmth of the area. Even with some preparation, Ron's right side still stiffened noticeably. Raising his left arm, a large plume of dust—marrow ash—spewed from the muzzle of his gilded flintlock pistol, which resembled a work of art.

The enhancement medium for shooting often comes from the marrow ash of powerful monsters, enabling weak hunters to fire mercury bullets imbued with the power of their blood.

For Ron, this special type of bone marrow ash can also add a powerful mental impact!

The bullet, formed from blood and mercury, shot out amidst swirling dust as it left the barrel. Within this dust of bone marrow ash, an invisible mystical energy swirled around the bullet, accompanied by a dull thud as it struck the greatsword in Eridin's hand.

Clang!

Accompanied by the clang of metal, Eredin was not injured, but he felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if he had been struck by an invisible, heavy hammer.

As his thoughts froze for a moment, Eredin's movements also had a brief opening. Without any intention of holding back, Ron stepped forward, twisted his waist, raised his right arm, and with the help of centrifugal force, viciously sliced ​​the meat saw into Eredin's abdomen.

It doesn't cut directly open, but rather twists and turns the moment it enters, the sharp serrations hooking onto the functioning organ, then suddenly yanks—*splat!*

Internal organ strike! A technique every Yharnam hunter must master. The fragile internal organs are torn apart by the weapon, flung out of the body with tremendous force, scattering across the ground. Lightning bursts, and before the black and red pieces of organs can even hit the ground, a violent thunderclap explodes the moment they cut into the flesh, accompanied by the stench of burning flesh and blood, whether from ionization or something else, as the fragments fall to the ground and rise in crimson hot mist.

The physical pain caused Eredin to become disoriented. As her consciousness returned, the power of the ancient blood was activated once more, and the flesh in her abdominal cavity was restored to its original state in an instant. However, as a price, the massive loss of arcane energy also caused Eredin's aura to weaken considerably.

But the weakening of her aura did not dampen Eredin's fighting spirit. On the contrary, with a flame igniting in her eyes, Eredin's arm, which had been pushed back by the gunshot, only slumped slightly before she clenched it tightly, her entire upper body surging with power. With a single swing, even though Ron managed to withdraw his saw blade in time, the impact of the explosive force sent him flying uncontrollably several meters away!

Without the slightest pause, Ron stepped forward once more in the next instant. His dark body was like a ghost. Within the Infinite City, Ron's perception of space and time had been greatly enhanced. Whenever Eredin attempted to launch an attack, Ron was able to effectively dodge it a split second before the rift opened.

Seeing this, Eredin's eyes narrowed slightly. A faint, icy light shimmered on his tattered armor, and with surging arcane energy, the space around him became exceptionally fragile, almost nonexistent in mass. Despite the distance, his greatsword danced up and down, and with each swing, his body vanished from space, then reappeared beside Ron, slashing out from his blind spot.

With his enhanced perception, Ron was able to perfectly dodge the sword at the slightest distance whenever it approached. However, whenever Ron tried to attack, Eredin would appear in the next blind spot.

The cold longsword clung to him like a leech, the white frost clinging to it constantly eroding Ron's body temperature. Despite the chill, Ron's gaze remained indifferent, but his left hand, gripping the gun, trembled slightly. The exquisitely crafted musket from Cainhurst vanished, replaced by a broken, withered piece of white bone.

The arcane energy was injected, and immediately an invisible force entered Ron's body—the bones of the old hunter.

It originated from an unknown old hunter, who was said to have been the apprentice of the first hunter, Gehrman.

He was also a user of the early Hunter's unique move, "Speed ​​Up".

In the game, the Old Hunter's Bone transforms rolling into teleportation, increases distance and invincibility frames, and boosts running speed. With skillful use, it allows you to dodge attacks while unleashing incredibly cool combos.

In reality, with the activation of the old hunter's bones and the blessing of his will through his remains, coupled with enhanced perception, the world around Ron slowed down dramatically in his eyes. His senses magnified, every subtle change in his surroundings became visible, and the intense battle was crystal clear – every heartbeat was distinctly audible!

In Eridin's view, he slashed out with his sword, but unexpectedly, the guy in front of him did not dodge as sharply as before. Instead, he stood there stunned, as if his mind had stopped.

Although the reason was unknown, Eredin did not stop her attack. On the contrary, upon discovering this momentary lapse in concentration, Eredin's muscles bulged, and even though her tattered armor was covered by an unbreakable layer of frost, one could still clearly feel a surge of blood energy bursting forth from her body!

But just as the blade of that greatsword was about to touch Ron, to Eridin's disbelief, Ron turned his head and looked at him.

Seeing his own reflection clearly in the other's eyes, and the pupils already locked onto him with pinpoint accuracy, Ericin felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Without the slightest hesitation, his body was swiftly swallowed by the rift that had been torn open. With a flash, when Ericin looked back at where he had stood, unsurprisingly, an open door appeared behind him, along with a saw-like cleaver that had cleaved through the door!

Ron withdrew his saw, and the portal before him shattered and vanished. Narrowing his eyes, sensing the old hunter's will within the remains, Ron calmly said, "Come on, let's see who's faster!!"

Almost the instant the words fell, Ron's attack arrived. Completely unable to discern the attack's process or path, by the time Erin sensed it, Ron was already upon her.

With her eyes widening suddenly and no time to dodge, Erin stomped her foot, and a buzzing sound came from the surrounding space. A large amount of freezing wind swept in from all directions—if she couldn't lock on, she might as well give up locking on and instead use a wide-range attack to cover the entire area!

He thought this would force Ron to retreat, but Ron neither dodged nor avoided, letting the freezing wind mixed with frost steal away his body heat, and then suddenly swung his battle blade the moment his body got close.

The sharp teeth of the saw cleaver sliced ​​through the air, brushing against the lightning talisman; in that instant when the blades clashed, sparks flew.

As the low temperature spread, Ron could feel his body reaching the critical limit of the Frost Domain. Without lingering in the fight, the old hunter's remains in his left hand flashed and transformed into a round, hammer-shaped object. Although it was called a hammer, it was essentially an iron nail—a miniature lightning bolt.

Thunder is a unique "mechanical weapon" created by Archibald, a quirky man from the Medical Church workshop.

This weapon is the same model as the hammer, using mercury bullets as a medium. When inserted into the ground, it can artificially recreate the blue lightning that wraps around the corrupted black beast. Even among the many mechanical weapons of the Church, it is a rare masterpiece and a treasure.

This time, however, Ron did not choose to insert it into the ground. Instead, he raised the meat saw in his hand, hammered it with the blade, and after slightly fixing it, he pushed off with both feet. The moment he broke free from the frost's coverage, a small lightning bolt was released, and the exploding lightning, along with the same unknown arcane attribute as the Yharnam Black Beast, exploded!

Located in the center, only a scream could be heard. Even though Eredin managed to dodge in time, the small lightning bolt embedded in his left shoulder still shattered half of his armor and flesh the moment it exploded!

But what made Eredin even more desperate than the flying flesh and blood was that, along with the explosion of lightning, the unknown arcane energy severely interfered with his connection to the ancient blood.

Although it was only for a brief moment, on the other side, Ron's left hand had grown a murky eye covered in mucus—the Black Sky Eye.
