"Awakening?! No! No! Not fully awakened yet!"
Awakened Beings, who was crawling on the roof of an abandoned building just like Spider, had a look of astonishment on his face. He obviously couldn't believe that the other party could suddenly explode in this state.
What makes it even more incredible is that it doesn't feel even the slightest bit of Yoki.
"Hoo-ho-ho-"
With heavy breathing, Clare finally slowly climbed up from under the collapsed wall.
At this moment, she was no longer in a normal human form, but a monster whose whole body was covered with curved bones as hard as blades.
Especially the arms and legs, they no longer look like humans, the expression on the face is even more ferocious, and the teeth have become as sharp as sharks.
But what is unbelievable is that even so, the demon power in Clare has not gone crazy, it has only exceeded 80%.
On the contrary, the Life Energy originally surrounding the body continued to spew out in all directions like a volcanic eruption, blowing the gravel and sand in the ruins everywhere.
Some larger stones were crushed into powder on the spot and scattered in the wind.
"Damn it!"
Awakened Beings was obviously not a fool. He immediately realized that there was something wrong with Warrior in front of him. He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice and wanted to run away without saying a word.
Although he lost one leg, it was nothing to him who had eight legs.
But just when Awakened Beings climbed onto the roof and wanted to escape quickly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the left side of his body.
Turning around, he saw that the only three legs left on one side of his body had been cut off in an instant. His whole body slid down the roof uncontrollably, and finally fell to the ground with a thud.
Before he could react to what was happening, the four legs on the right side were also cut off, and dazzling blood spurted out from the severed limbs.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"
"This... how is this possible!"
Seeing that low-level Warrior, who was being teased, humiliated, and mistreated a second ago, was now able to explode with speed and reaction that he could not match, Awakened Beings showed an extremely shocked expression on his face.
"Go to hell!"
Clare roared and jumped up high, lifting Claymore who was holding an astonishing Life Energy Entangle above his head, and then slashed Thunder down with a mighty force.
boom!!!!!!!
moment!
The horrific explosion swept through everything within a few dozen meters of the surrounding area!
Regardless of whether it was an abandoned building or the ground made of stones beneath their feet, all were severely damaged.
As for Awakened Beings, it had already been torn into pieces of flesh and blood flying in the sky in an instant.
Even the entire residents of Holy City could clearly feel the ground shaking violently.
When the dust in the sky gradually dispersed, you could clearly see a large crater on the ground with a diameter of more than thirty meters and a depth of more than ten meters.
And Clare, who maintained the posture of Half-Awakened, stood in the center of Deep Pit, his whole body shaking slightly uncontrollably.
No doubt about it!
Since this was the first time that she had released more than 80% of her demonic power, she now had no way to Valis suppress Yoki with her rampaging Life Energy, and could only barely maintain her current state.
Artoria, who was hundreds of meters away, saw this scene and immediately asked in a very interested tone, "Is this the result of the seed, or is it the result of Dragon's Descendants's flesh and blood?"
"Hmm... about half and half. The demonic energy contained in Dragon's Descendants cells is essentially no different from Life Energy, or the Nian and Chakra I mentioned to you before. It can even be transformed into each other to a certain extent. Especially Clare originally inherited With Teresa's super-powerful perception and fine control talents, it's not surprising that she can suddenly burst out with powerful power. But how to suppress the rampaging Life Energy and then use it to restore the demonic power beyond the critical point is the key." Allen explained casually.
To be honest, he was quite disappointed that it took Clare a full ten years to resonate with seeds.
Because this shows that Clare's talent is not as good as imagined, or even very poor.
If the transplant was not the flesh and blood of Teresa, as well as his own personality that is more stubborn than a donkey, it is estimated that it is most likely the real No. 47, and eventually becomes cannon fodder in the eyes of the organization's senior officials like Elina.
In other words, the combat effectiveness shown by Clare in the later period was not so much her own efforts, but rather the whole person became Teresa's stand-in or shadow.
"Are Dragon's Descendants's cells really that magical?"
Artoria had obviously heard about things on the mainland, but had never actually seen the captured Dragon's Descendants, so he was a little curious about it.
Allen nodded lightly. "According to the conclusion drawn from Sky City laboratory research, Dragon's Descendants's genes have traces of extensive interference and modification. This means that they were most likely created as biological weapons. However, the civilization that created these biological weapons had long been extinct due to disasters, and the Dragon's Descendants that finally survived began to reproduce on their own, slowly becoming what we see. In particular, cells have super strong reproduction and adaptability. Even if the entire planet explodes, one or two frozen pieces of flesh and blood can float in space until they are captured by the gravity of other viable planets, fall to the ground, and combine with the creatures of that planet to reproduce again. Stronger. The Yoma, Awakened Beings, and Claymore you see now are all branches evolved from the combination of Dragon's Descendants and human genes."
"You mean... they can spread as quickly as viruses and bacteria?" Artoria glanced at the plasma and minced meat scattered around with some concern.
"Don't worry, that is only the ability of Dragon's Descendants itself, and does not include these hybrid derivatives. Instead of thinking about these meaningless things, it is better to discuss how we should play this scene."
With that said, Allen withdrew his gaze from Clare and turned to the majestic cathedral not far away standing in the center of the city.
You don't need to ask to know that he is disgusted with this kind of church that uses religion to make money, gain power, and fool the people, and he has no intention of giving it any chance of survival.
Instead, we are prepared to uproot it once and for all, and would rather kill it by mistake than let it go.
"If you want to deceive the organization and the three abyss in the north, then we need to launch a war, a full-scale war that truly mobilizes thousands of people. Otherwise, they will not act rashly." Artoria gave his judgment straightforwardly.
After all, this island is currently a typical place where the four forces are on guard against each other.
Although Western Lands has ostensibly concluded Alliance with the organization, the two parties do not have the slightest trust in each other and are both doing their own little tricks secretly.
Therefore, someone must be the first to break the balance, and only then will the remaining three parties take action.
It's just that the organization and three northern Abysses don't know that Allen and Artoria are in the same group, just to deliberately create a balance to confuse the outside world.
Now it is naturally the best choice for Western Lands and Southern Lands to pretend to start a war to break the balance.
"What about the scale of the war? Can you ensure that your rabble will not get out of control?" Allen asked with a sneer.
He really didn't dare to have high hopes for the Southern Alliance, who was influenced and controlled by Holy Light Church.
After all, unless a war is an elite professional army that can enforce orders and prohibitions 100% of the time, there will definitely be a risk of getting out of control once the war starts.
Especially the strong hatred generated after seeing blood can make people completely lose their mind and turn into beasts.
But Artoria had already thought of a countermeasure, turned around and said with a serious face, "We don't really need to start a war, we just need to be mobilized to maintain a long-term confrontation near Holy City. As for you and me, if you go out and pretend to fight in person, you can dispel the concerns of the organization and the three northern abyss."
Allen nodded thoughtfully. "It sounds like a good plan. So when should we start?"
"It's better to do it now. The girl named Clare just had a fierce battle with Awakened Beings. It makes sense that we rush over at the same time to check the situation, doesn't it?"
After saying this, Artoria jumped deep, smashed the window and rushed out.
Due to the speed, the guards guarding the door didn't even understand what happened, and saw an afterimage flying over their heads.
Immediately afterwards, Holy Light Church personnel rushed out after hearing the sound, and the whole house suddenly became a mess.
Among them, the girl who admired Artoria to the extreme - Aria, acted like crazy, drew her weapon and rushed towards the scene of the incident.
Looking at this group of young Paladin who have initially mastered the power of Holy Light, Allen couldn't help but smile and sighed, "It's good to be young. It seems that Holy Light Church is more successful than I expected."
The words just fell!
He also flew in the direction where Clare and Awakened Beings were fighting.
At this moment, Artoria had already arrived at the scene of the incident, and directly pulled out the holy sword that exuded golden light, and said in an emotionless tone, "I will give you thirty seconds to return to human appearance! If you can't do it, then I will treat you as Yoma and kill you on the spot!"
"No! I'm not Yoma! No!"
Clare obviously recognized the short woman with long blond hair and green eyes in front of him.
The shining golden sword made every cell in her body send out a warning.
Once cut...
Will die!
He will definitely die!
"Then recover quickly! You still have twenty-five seconds!" Artoria urged, pretending to be impatient.
Obviously, this is to force Clare to maximize his potential by exerting mental pressure.
Otherwise, the longer it goes on, the greater the possibility of true awakening.
"Ahhhhh!!!! Change back! Change back quickly!"
Veins popped up on Clare's face, trying desperately to suppress the rampaging Life Energy, thereby suppressing Yoki who had exceeded the threshold.
Although she didn't know Artoria's terrifying record of nearly killing Riful, one of the Three Abyss, with one sword, she also knew that a target that could make the organization regard it as the same threat as Allen was definitely not something she could resist now.
What's more, she has not yet completed her revenge for Teresa, and she must not die in this place.
I don't know if the strong sense of survival came into play, but in less than ten seconds, the uncontrollable Life Energy surrounding Clare's body actually became a little loose.
At least I won't destroy everything around me anymore.
With a little bit of order finally established from the chaos, she slowly regained control and barely suppressed the demonic power that had exceeded the critical point.
After the limbs covered with sharp blades finally returned to their original state, the whole person collapsed on the ground with a plop, breathing heavily, and the tattered white tights were soaked with sweat.
For Clare, the ten or twenty seconds that just passed were as long as several years.
But she finally survived!
And without losing your human identity!
"You did a good job!" Artoria put away the holy sword and praised him without hesitation.
Because she knows that this is a manifestation of strong spirit and willpower.
"Are you the Saintess who created Southern Church?" Clare wiped the sweat from his face and raised his head and asked.
"Saintess is just the nickname given to me by the people. My real name is Artoria Pendragon. And I have never established any church. I have only taught some apprentices the teachings and power of Holy Light." As he spoke, Saber raised his hand and released a large piece of golden Holy Light, shrouding the young girl in front of him.
moment!
Clare felt indescribable warmth, light and hope in his heart, and tears of excitement kept sliding down his cheeks.
She finally understood why the same religion, Holy City, was declining day by day, while Holy Light Church in the south was able to unite countless scattered villages and towns together.
If she were an ordinary person, she would believe Power of Holy Light instead of Holy City, the boring sculptures standing in the church.
Because what the former brings can actually be felt, and it can give people great satisfaction to a certain extent.
Just when Clare wanted to ask more questions about Teachings of Holy Light, another figure suddenly fell from the sky and collided with Artoria who was standing not far away.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!!
Most of the abandoned streets were directly crushed by the horrific explosions and shock waves.
The light beams soaring into the sky instantly illuminated the night sky, making the city feel like it was daytime instead of night.
Poor Clare was blown away by the strong airflow, and it was difficult to insert Claymore into the ground to barely stabilize his body.
Through the blowing sand, she vaguely saw a familiar figure in the middle of the battlefield, and couldn't help but scream out, "Ai...Allen?!"
