"Are you the one who defeated Riful and seriously injured him?"
Luciela ignored the reactions of the apprentices and looked at Artoria in front of him with interest, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Obviously, she recently received an invitation jointly issued by Isley and Riful, and then she learned that two powerful outsiders had appeared on this land, so they all came here to find out the truth.
Especially as one of the Abyssalss who are deeply feared by the organization, Luciela has his own pride and arrogance, so he does not believe that anyone in this world can seriously injure or even kill him in an instant.
As for the stern warnings issued by Isley and Riful, she regarded them as a method used by her old rival to coerce her into contracting Alliance.
Since the villages and towns on this island maintain a relatively independent state, coupled with the rampant Yoma, Awakened Beings, bandits and wild beasts in the wild, the overall area is not large, but the transmission of information is very slow. Often, what happens in the north may not be known to anyone in the south months or even years later.
Luciela, who stayed in the warm south all day long, had no idea what was happening in the west and north.
Therefore, after receiving the alliance invitation from Isley and Riful, instead of giving an immediate reply, he was curious about the sudden rise of Holy Light Church in his own territory, and ran over in person to meet Artoria.
By the way, let's take a look at what kind of power this woman, who is called "Saintess" or "Holy Light Messenger", actually scares her old rival Riful.
"If you are referring to the woman who can change her body into tentacles, that's right. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would be dead now. In my opinion, all of you man-eating monsters deserve to die." Artoria said as he slowly pulled out the holy sword that shone with golden light.
As a Mind's Eye Paladin who is a bit dead, she will not think too much about it. When she encounters a race that is unfriendly to humans, she will stand unconditionally on the side of humans no matter what the reason.
It is precisely because of this that Saber is so in tune with Allen.
"Want to kill me? You have to see if you have such ability."
Luciela undoubtedly felt the naked and undisguised killing intent, and his originally relaxed nerves immediately became tense.
The golden light emitted by the holy sword gave her an indescribable fear. She felt like a cat with hairy hair, swaying its tail at an extremely fast frequency, and had entered a fighting state without even realizing it.
Although he has not yet fully awakened, he subconsciously releases an astonishing aura, and the energy called "demon power" is continuously transmitted inside the cells.
"Arrogant, arrogant, and stupid, you seem to be no different from the one named Riful. Now that you are here, leave something behind."
As the last word blurted out, the holy sword in Artoria's hand began to shine with dazzling golden light.
Before anyone else could react to what was happening, the astonishingly powerful "light beam" rushed directly towards Luciela.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!
The high-temperature beam, which is indescribable in words, blasted most of "South Cat"'s body until not a single residue was left.
If he hadn't decisively transformed into his awakening form at the moment he felt the danger, he would probably be dead by now.
Thanks to his awakening size, which had increased a lot, he had a chance to escape.
Especially the half of the body that was bombarded by the Sword of Promised Victory light cannon could not be recovered by the powerful Regeneration Ability in a short period of time.
"Damn it! That guy Riful actually didn't lie this time!"
Luciela, who was almost killed, couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed. Then he didn't dare to stay for a second, and immediately jumped on the roof to escape.
Just one blow had such power, she couldn't believe that she could survive for a few seconds when Artoria went all out.
In the blink of an eye, the southern Abyssals disappeared into the dense forest outside the city like a lost dog.
Just like the original Riful, she also chose to abandon her territory and head straight to the north, planning to join Isley and Riful.
At this point, the three Abyss finally had to come together and start working together under strong pressure from the outside world.
It can be predicted that the island will soon form a new balance.
Among them, Western Lands is controlled by Allen, Southern Lands is ruled by Holy Light Church of Artoria, the north is the joint effort of three Abyss and a few Awakened Beings, and the east is the home base of the organization.
At least in the eyes of the top management of the organization, Allen and Artoria must be from two hostile countries on another continent, and there is no possibility of working together.
To this end, they specially sent Lulu as an envoy to the largest city of Western Lands.
Looking at this place that was beginning to develop at a rapid pace because all Yoma and Awakened Beings were killed, Ace Spy couldn't help but Lulu couldn't help but put the hat on his head and sighed, "Have you integrated the entire Western Lands population of millions in such a short period of time? What a terrifying expansion speed!"
However, sighing, Lulu has not forgotten the mission he has shouldered during this trip.
Since he had no intention of concealing his whereabouts, he was "invited" to Knight Order's residence by two knights in less than three to five minutes.
When Lulu passed by the training ground, he suddenly saw Ine Lily and three others who were teaching apprentice Knight about swordsmanship and combat experience.
Although the three defected Claymore have taken off their white tights and cloaks that symbolize their status, their appearance and the weapons in their hands have not changed at all.
Especially Ine Lily, who mastered High-Speed Sword, made no secret of using it in public, attacking six apprentice Knight at the same time to train their evasion and blocking skills.
Suddenly, the sound of clanging weapons can be heard everywhere in the training ground.
Some of them, formal Knight, which have developed Life Energy to a certain extent, can even fight Sophia and Roar Road back and forth, and can often smash Deep Pit with a radius of more than five meters on the ground with one blow.
Lulu saw everything in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and planned to ask the other party carefully when they met, how they trained a group of ordinary people to a level comparable to Awakened Beings.
With strong purpose, he quickly followed the knight through the corridor, and finally came to a room covered with golden sunlight.
Allen, who was sitting on the chair, made a very casual greeting gesture and said, "Welcome, my friend. How about it? Has your organization finally figured out how to join forces with me?"
"No, the organization doesn't know much about the grievances between you yet, so we don't want to take sides easily. However, we are still very interested in cooperation." Lulu chose his words carefully.
He witnessed with his own eyes how Priscilla, who had the power of super Abyss, was suppressed by the man in front of him. He also knew that Northern Abyss Isley had four of its legs broken.
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of your own life, you must not anger the other party.
"Cooperation? What do you mean?"
Allen raised his legs and put them on the table, with a playful smile on his face.
"Many aspects. For example, dealing with those three uncontrolled abyss monsters." Lulu responded half-truthfully.
If it had been in the past, he would have contacted his superior first and then waited for instructions from his superior.
But now, with the connection between the island and the mainland completely cut off, we can only rely on experience to improvise.
"Monster? If I read correctly, whether it is Claymore, Awakened Beings, or Yoma, aren't they all created by you? In other words, this island is the place where you conduct biological weapons experiments." Allen sneered and revealed the organization's background.
"Oh, is this what Teresa or Ine Lily told you?" Lulu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Allen shook his head meaningfully. "No! I came up with the answer myself after comparing the modified cells of Claymore, as well as the cells of Yoma and Awakened Beings. Although the degree of mutation is slightly different, they are all derived from the same species. Isn't the reason why you are conducting experiments here is to obtain a controllable super biological weapon?"
"Then do you want to know where the cells that can produce Claymore, Yoma and Awakened Beings come from?" Lulu asked calmly.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in this. Because your technology is too low-level and backward, and the so-called biological weapons you produce are also lackluster. As long as I want, I can crush those three so-called "Abyssals" at any time. So if the organization really wants to cooperate with me, then show some sincerity."
When saying these words, Allen's tone was full of contempt and disdain for organizational transformation technology.
In fact, the organization's method of manufacturing Claymore Warrior is quite simple and crude.
It is to cut a piece of flesh and blood from Dragon's Descendants's body, then insert it into the body of the person who accepted the transformation, and let it erode human cells.
Those who survive the erosion and eventually form a symbiotic relationship with Dragon's Descendants flesh and blood are Claymore.
As for those who failed to survive, they naturally became the so-called "Yoma".
That's right!
After more than a hundred years of research, the only progress in tissue technology is to slightly improve the success rate of transformation.
This can be seen from the fact that Yoma cannot be killed anywhere on the island.
Compared with the negligible success rate, failure in transformation and becoming Yoma is the final outcome for most people who accept transformation.
And Sky City can completely inject the power of Dragon's Descendants into other organisms from the genetic level, so that they can gain more powerful power while maintaining their original genes from large-scale damage and contamination.
The two sides were not on the same level from the beginning in terms of scientific research and technology.
Therefore, the transformation technology that is regarded as a treasure by the organization is just a pile of outdated garbage in the eyes of Allen, and is not even qualified to be used as waste.
Lulu clearly felt this, and immediately couldn't help laughing and mocking himself, "You are really more picky than I expected. But it's no wonder! After all, you are from a more advanced civilization on another continent, and it is reasonable to look down on the technology we have. But if you are not interested in the technology and source of manufacturing Claymore, what else is in the hands of the organization that interests you?"
"My request is simple! The organization must choose between me and Artoria! Either an ally or an enemy, there is no so-called neutrality. In return, if the organization forms an alliance with me, then I will provide a tool called Life Energy's training method can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of Claymore Warrior and Awakened Beings." Allen's pretentious opening conditions.
"Life Energy? Is this the power used by those knights to kill Yoma and Awakened Beings?" Lulu's eyes began to shine.
He could already imagine how Dragon's Descendants's power would be enhanced if the country behind him obtained this secret.
Maybe he can defeat the last enemy in one go and become the supreme master of the entire continent.
"That's right! I'll give you one month to think about it. If there is no definite answer after one month, then I will regard the organization as the enemy." After saying this, Allen raised his hand as if to see off the guests.
Lulu very wisely touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly.
Just when he turned around to push Opening Gate, he suddenly asked, "Why should you accept Ine Lily? If you are really like what you said, you are not interested in organizing the technology to manufacture Claymore."
Allen shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "There is no special reason. I just feel that having a few young and beautiful women around me will make me feel physically and mentally happy. And if you have examined Teresa's body, you should have found that her cells have been perfectly integrated with the foreign invading cells, and there are no longer any obvious traces of transformation."
"Ah! The organization is also very interested in this. For this reason, they specially transformed the child following Teresa into Claymore, using the flesh and blood of Teresa. Sometimes I really think you are strange. You are so concerned about Teresa, but in the end you did not take away the child named Clare."
After saying that, Lulu gently turned the door handle, opened the room door with a click, and disappeared at the end of the city street under the escort of two knights.
Standing in front of the window and watching the spy's retreating figure, Allen pursed his lips and murmured in a low voice, "Although he is called twin goddesses, what I admire is just Teresa's character. What does it have to do with the little rabbit Clare. A little girl like this who is as stubborn as a donkey, but It's not likable at all. And going through a little hardship is not a bad thing in a long life. I'm really looking forward to her reaction when she sees Teresa come back from the dead. Of course, for Teresa's sake, I'll give Clare a little backdoor..."
The words just fell!
Allen's fingertips suddenly flashed with a halo of magic, and a Seed of Life Energy was directly injected into the body of Clare, who was lying in the secret room and had just undergone transformation.
Due to the speed, the latter didn't even react at all, still closing his eyes and moaning in pain.
