Picking up the severed tentacle, Allen watched as this self-aware thing kept wrapping around his arm, even wanting to insert the sharp teeth and spikes into his skin, and then burrow into his body.
But unfortunately, it obviously underestimated the hardness of Allen's skin and the huge Life Energy surrounding the body.
As a result, after struggling for a long time, not to mention drilling into the body, even the outermost protective layer of Life Energy failed to be broken. Instead, it was riddled with holes by the reaction force, and eventually turned into a pile of purple-red rotten flesh.
There is no doubt that this thing does not have a high IQ, it does not even have the most basic self-protection mechanism, and it cannot distinguish the strength of the enemy. It just wants to take in more "food" or continue to replicate itself.
"What on earth is this disgusting thing?" Sophia said with naked and undisguised disgust in his tone.
"Well... I think it should be some kind of special ability developed by a certain Awakened Beings or Yoma unconsciously through Life Energy. It has no subjective consciousness and simply replicates itself through parasitism, thereby achieving the so-called immortal state." Allen explained meaningfully.
I have to say that if we have to classify this thing composed of Life Energy and cells, it should belong to Nen abilities derived from the consciousness of survival.
According to his inference, it should be Yoma and Awakened Beings who had mastered Life Energy. When facing a powerful enemy, they realized that they were about to be killed, so they had a strong desire to survive no matter what.
In the end, Life Energy responded to this wish, causing its cells or part of its organs to mutate, gaining the power to replicate and parasitize Infinity like cancer cells.
As for whether this thing containing Life Energy was created accidentally, or was obtained by the organization through technological research and development, and then implanted into Claymore's body for testing, it is still unknown.
"You mean... it is the product of "ability"?" Sophia opened his mouth in shock.
As a person who has developed "abilities" a long time ago, she has seen many weird abilities, but generally speaking, they are still reasonable.
But this is the first time I have seen something as outrageous as this.
But Allen who has lived in the Hunter x Hunter world undoubtedly knows very well that something like Nen abilities is the most incredible and Infinity possible.
And the Life Energy that I created is essentially the combination of the Nian system and the Chakra system.
Therefore, when the latter is not provided with the large and complicated knowledge, Life Energy practitioners will inevitably move closer to the former, which is to become completely Nen abilities.
No matter how weird the ability is, it's not surprising.
Especially the amazing sense of survival that bursts out when approaching death can often create miracles.
Thinking of this, Allen released a ball of flame, completely burning the tentacles, and then nodded gently. "Yes! I really can't imagine how strong a life consciousness must be to have such an ability. Even if you give up your self-awareness and personality and become a slave of instinct, you must survive at all costs."
"Is it her ability?"
Sophia subconsciously glanced at Elina, who was lying on the ground in pain and could no longer speak. His eyes were full of vigilance.
After all, when it comes to "ability", she doesn't dare to take it lightly.
Otherwise, it would be completely normal for the ship to capsize in the gutter.
"No! It's not her ability, she is just a victim of parasitism."
With that said, Allen stepped forward and carefully opened Elina's lower abdomen, only to find that the place where Dragon's Descendants cells should have been transplanted was now occupied by a large area of tiny tentacles that made people feel numb.
Moreover, these tentacles are thick and thin, long and short, and they are densely packed together and dance non-stop. It is definitely enough to give nightmares to any normal person who sees it for the first time.
"Kill... kill me! No matter who you are! Kill me quickly!" Elina begged in a broken voice.
Her eyes had changed from the usual silver to beast-like golden vertical pupils at some point, and her expression was extremely ferocious, and her limbs began to twist under the influence of Yoki's rampage.
But Allen squatted down calmly, looked into the other person's eyes, and sighed slightly, "It must be very painful to be parasitized by this kind of thing, right? Tell me, where does it come from? As long as you tell the answer, I will help you get relief."
Hearing the word relief, Elina's eyes instantly lit up. He immediately got up from the ground regardless of the pain and said in a slightly trembling voice, "It's a Yoma! I went to a village in the north half a month ago and encountered a very strange Yoma. It not only mastered Yoma Life Energy's skills, and he doesn't kill people and eat the internal organs as unscrupulously as the ordinary Yoma. On the contrary, every time he wants to eat the internal organs, he will deliberately make it look like he died unexpectedly. Then he will go to the cemetery to dig up the body the night after it is buried, and then bury it again."
"What? How is this possible!" Sophia had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Because she already knew that half of the so-called Yoma was actually caused by the failure of transformation, and the other half was deliberately created by the organization.
But no matter which one they are, it means that their human parts are completely swallowed up by Dragon's Descendants cells, and they will even lose all their previous memories of being human and become another completely different creature.
Although these creatures also possess a certain degree of intelligence and can even temporarily obtain each other's memories and emotions through cannibalism, they are failures after all.
Almost all Yoma cannot control their original desires and impulses.
So once they start to feel hungry, they will immediately choose to use violent methods to kill people, and then dig out the stomach and eat the internal organs.
There is no Yoma who can restrain his desire to eat.
This has become a consensus among Claymore people.
This is why even Claymore, who is ranked lowest like Clare, can easily spot Yoma from the crowd.
In addition to the perception of demon power, the most important point is that Yoma cannot hide for a long time and will inevitably attack ordinary people around him when he is hungry.
"I also thought it was incredible, so I hid nearby and observed secretly for two days. It wasn't until it attacked the next target again that I stepped forward to attack it. But who knew that the moment I was about to kill the monster, its body suddenly exploded, spewing out countless tentacles, and instantly swallowed up all the villagers in the entire village. And I was accidentally parasitized., The physical condition is getting worse day by day. In desperation, I can only report the situation to the organization, and then send out Black Letter to sit here and wait for death. Only by killing me will the things in my body die with me. Otherwise, they will start to parasitize and replicate themselves every time they encounter a creature, which may eventually lead to the destruction of the world.
When saying these words, Elina's tone was full of the courage to face death.
It can be seen that she has long been prepared to end her life in her heart, and she is eager for this to come.
Otherwise, once he is completely controlled by the parasitic tentacles, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Wait! You said that all the villagers in the entire village have been parasitized?" Allen keenly grasped the key point.
Elina smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes! More than three hundred villagers were all parasitized in an instant. After about ten minutes, countless tentacles emerged from the body, and finally merged into a huge monster. For such a terrifying monster Monsters like me, who are ranked lower than Warrior, can't do anything. However, I heard from Abyssal One that the organization has sent several high-ranked Warrior to fight against it, and the results should be there soon."
"Do you think this is a coincidence? Or..." Sophia said with strong uncertainty in his tone.
Knowing the truth, she instinctively felt that this was a conspiracy by the organization, just like they had conducted countless crazy experiments before.
Poor Elina is just a victim of this experiment.
Allen touched his chin and thought for a while, then quickly responded, "We currently have too little information at hand, so it is difficult to make a relatively accurate judgment. However, Yoma, who has Life Energy in hand, made me smell a conspiracy. Someone must be trying to cause trouble."
"Do you need me to go to that village to take a look?" Sophia continued to ask.
"No, it's not necessary. With the organization's response speed, there should be nothing left there now. Compared to this, let us solve the immediate trouble."
With that said, Allen turned his attention to the tortured young girl in front of him again.
Sophia immediately understood and took the initiative to say, "Hello, Elina. My name is Sophia, and I used to be Warrior, ranked No. 4 in the organization. If you are really a friend of Clare, you should have heard of my name."
"Sophia? You... you were a member of the team that participated in the crusade against Teresa? Aren't you dead?" Elina's eyes widened in surprise.
"Huh! That's just a lie by the organization to appease people. We did not die, but chose to defect and join Western Lands. If you want to know the truth of this world and the origin of Yoma, then come and join us. So far, more than thirty people have joined our team."
Sophia did not hide anything and showed his trump card openly.
Because she knew very well how these Warrior would react once they learned the true identity of the organization, so she didn't worry about being betrayed afterwards.
"More than thirty people? All of them defected from the organization? How come I didn't know there were so many people defecting!" Elina had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Because in her knowledge, no one has been able to successfully escape from the organization, not even Warrior, who was known as the strongest in history - Teresa.
"Of course you won't know! In fact, no one even at the top of the organization knows! Because all this is done in secret! Now tell me what your answer is." Sophia asked directly.
Although she usually looks gentle and weak, she is actually a typical impatient person, and she hates procrastination when doing things.
"With me looking like I'm going to die soon, what's the use of joining." Elina lowered his head with a bitter look on his face and glanced at the horrifying sight in his lower abdomen that made people feel numb.
"Don't worry, you won't die as long as I'm here."
While speaking, Allen ripped off the white tights on the young girl in front of him, and then thrust his right hand into her abdominal cavity.
"Woo——"
The severe pain made Elina couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but in the end he restrained himself from screaming.
As for tearing off clothes, an act that would make most women scream, it was nothing to her as Claymore.
After all, during the training camp, the organization stripped away all Warrior's identity and self-esteem as a human being.
Most of them can even be naked in public without feeling shy or embarrassed at all.
With his superb control over Life Energy, Allen soon confirmed the size and scope of the entire parasite, then wrapped it up and pulled it outwards without hesitation.
After those tentacles realized that they were leaving their host, they immediately struggled frantically to escape.
But in the end, he still couldn't escape. He was completely stripped off, looking like a twisted soft octopus with no body and only tentacles left.
Similarly, Elina suddenly became dying because the parasite was forcibly stripped away.
After all, after such a long period of parasitism, her chest and abdominal cavity had been basically hollowed out, and even her most important heart and lungs were severely damaged.
If Dragon's Descendants's self-healing ability wasn't strong enough, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot the moment it was pulled out.
No hesitation!
Allen casually transferred the parasite back to the Sky City laboratory for the idle Guardians to study, while he released a series of healing abilities, including Holy Light, to restore the damaged internal organs, bones, blood vessels and muscles to their original state.
In the blink of an eye, Elina went from a half-dead man with his chest and abdominal cavity almost completely hollowed out to his normal appearance again.
The part of the lower abdomen that had been transformed had suddenly disappeared, replaced by smooth and delicate skin.
Just when she regained consciousness and couldn't believe what was happening to her, another figure suddenly rushed out from the road leading down the mountain and shouted, "Asshole! Let go of Elina! What are you doing to her?"
The visitor was none other than Clare who had just received Black Letter not long ago.
You don't need to ask to know that Allen is currently holding Elina with one hand and pressing her belly with the other, causing some misunderstanding.
In addition, the white tights were torn apart just now, Elina's body was almost naked, and Allen might not be able to clear away the suspicion even if he jumped into the sea now.
