"Fa... what happened?"
Milia used his broken arm to support his body, raised his head and looked at Laki whose body had mutated.
She was completely unable to understand how the other party's fragile body could break through the Life Energy protection on female Awakened Being that she was helpless to do, and how he could pierce through the skin and muscles that were as strong as granite.
Could it be that black sword?
"Hey! Boy! Are you okay? If you are okay, just say something!" Helen struggled to get up from the ground and shouted loudly.
There is no doubt that whether female Awakened Being was stabbed to death with a sword or Laki's sudden physical changes afterwards, she felt strongly uneasy.
Because this kind of thing that is far beyond cognition has never been encountered before, let alone how to deal with it.
Clare ignored the fact that he had broken a leg and an arm, and struggled to crawl closer, wanting to reach out and touch Laki, whose body was exuding hot steam.
But just when she was about to touch him, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "If I were you, I wouldn't bother him now."
"Allen?!"
Clare turned his head suddenly and saw a young man with short silver hair and a faint smile on his face.
Especially those violet eyes that are as calm as lake water, which no one can fake.
"How embarrassing! Don't you understand what I told you that night? If Teresa sees you like this, you will definitely feel very sad."
As Allen spoke, he picked up the broken arm and thigh on the ground and connected them to the somewhat confused Clare.
With the power he possesses, stimulating cell activity like this can reconnect severed limbs without even using too many abilities.
In just a few seconds, Clare felt that he had regained consciousness after struggling to reattach the broken arm and leg for a long time.
Not only that, Allen also helped reconnect Milia's broken spine, and healed Helen and Deneve's seemingly serious injuries.
After finishing all this, he came to Laki and teased in a slightly playful tone, "It seems that on the night of Holy City, you were well taken care of by those big sisters, and you were able to use your own desires to drive this sword."
"I... I'm so hot!" Laki raised his head and popped out a few words from his throat.
"Don't worry! This is Sword of Desire swallowing the Awakened Beings just now, converting all the energy in her body into something that can be absorbed by you. After it is completely absorbed, you will gain the power you dream of." Allen comforted casually.
Sword of Desire!
As the name suggests, it is a magic sword driven by desire!
The stronger the desire, the more terrifying the power this sword can provide to the holder.
Among them, appetite is a type of desire, and so is lust.
In addition, there are also possessiveness, predatory desire, conquering desire, etc...
By being transformed from a boy into a man by a group of wolf-like "big sisters" at a special service facility, Laki's originally repressed desires were completely awakened, and he gained the ability to drive Sword of Desire to fight.
In addition, female Awakened Being was too careless and did not realize how terrifying this black magic sword was.
After all, everything that can be placed in Sky City's treasure house, even the worst quality, is Divine Artifact.
As expected, he was directly pierced by a sword.
Under the devouring of the magic sword, the body becomes the most primitive and pure energy, which is continuously transported into Laki's body, strengthening it in an all-round and three-dimensional way.
"But I feel so uncomfortable now! I feel like I can't breathe." Laki's face was full of pain.
"In that case, let's get some sleep first."
With that said, Allen raised his hand and lightly tapped the boy's forehead.
The next second...
Laki's body, which was originally blown up like a balloon, quickly began to shrink and returned to its original thin appearance. He fell to the ground with a plop on his back, closed his eyes and let out the snoring sound that only occurs when he is asleep.
However, if you look closely, you will find that several of his arteries are still flowing at extremely fast speeds, transporting the energy gained from phagocytosis to every cell in his body.
Seeing that Laki was relieved of that worrying state, Clare finally relaxed and asked with wide eyes, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay in Holy City for a long time? Why did you appear in a place like this?"
"My true body is indeed left in Holy City. What you see now is just a clone. After all, you are so weak, what if you die accidentally. I promised Teresa that I would make sure you are safe no matter what."
While saying these words, Allen reached out and touched Clare's head just like he did ten years ago.
Although the latter wanted to dodge with a look of disgust, he was unable to dodge in the end and could only put on an angry look.
In contrast, Milia seemed much more cautious. After first confirming that his broken spine had healed, he then asked tentatively, "Are you the Western Lands lord who makes the organization both fearful and jealous - Allen?"
Allen nodded straightforwardly. "Ah! It's me. What, do you have any questions?"
"What is your relationship with Clare?" Milia asked cautiously.
"Have you heard of the name Teresa?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
"Smiling Teresa? That Warrior, who was hailed by the organization as the strongest in history, but was later hunted down for defecting?"
Milia had obviously secretly conducted a considerable degree of investigation into the organization, and he suddenly mentioned this name that was once considered taboo and no one was allowed to mention it.
"That's right! I know Teresa and have a good relationship with her. Clare was the little girl who followed Teresa at that time, just like the relationship between her and Laki now. So you can understand that I am taking care of Clare as an elder and ensuring that she does not die unexpectedly."
Allen did not hide anything and expressed his position and attitude openly.
He felt that the organization sent Clare to do such an obviously death mission this time, maybe because they wanted to test how he would react if this young girl who had close contact with Teresa died.
But unfortunately, the organization obviously didn't know that Allen had the ability to create a clone, and even misjudged that he was in a confrontation with Holy City and couldn't get away at all.
So the conspiracy failed in the end.
"Then what do you think of the organization sending Clare to participate in this kind of death mission?" Milia continued to probe.
Allen shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "No special opinion. If you are referring to whether I will take revenge on the organization for Clare, then the answer is obviously no. Join the organization and become Claymore was Clare's choice. Now that she has made a choice, she must bear the corresponding price. You know, if she had not joined the organization, I could have let her live like a princess. It's a pity that she desires revenge more than a comfortable life."
"Revenge?" Milia keenly grasped a key word.
"Yes! You should know that in order to defeat the strongest No.1 in history, the organization sent out the most elite team at the time. Among them, No.2 Priscilla, who had the same amazing potential and talent as Teresa, awakened in the battle, and finally killed Teresa by gaining sympathy and sneak attacks. This matter is in the heart of Clare It left indelible scars, so she chose to give up everything and regard killing Priscilla as her only goal for the rest of her life. By the way, Clare is different from all of you. She is the only one who actively asked to be transformed. Moreover, the flesh and blood implanted in her body was not Yoma, but the head of Teresa."
As Allen blurted out the last word, the other three Claymore present were stunned.
Especially Milia finally realized where the strange aura he felt before came from.
That was not the aura of being No. 47 Clare, but the aura of Warrior Teresa, known as the strongest in history.
Unlike others who were shocked, Clare himself always maintained a very cold attitude.
Because she knew that she could not stop Allen from telling these old events related to her, so she could only choose to pretend that she had not heard anything.
"No wonder Clare can always accurately predict the opponent's movements in battle. It turns out that she inherited Smiling Teresa's amazing talent..." Milia murmured to himself with a complicated expression.
"Okay, the chat is over. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. If nothing else happens, people from the organization should come to confirm the situation soon. If Abyssal One finds me here, it will scare them."
After saying that, Allen turned around and prepared to leave.
But before he could take a few steps, he heard the shout of Milia coming from behind him.
"Wait! I still have some questions to ask you!"
"Oh? Any other questions?" Allen took the initiative to stop.
"I heard that Western Lands has taken in many Warrior who defected from the organization over the years. Is it true?" Milia said with strong uncertainty in his tone.
"Yeah! It's true. What, are you planning to defect too? I don't mind accepting a few more newcomers." Allen glanced at these Claymore with interest.
But Milia shook his head slightly. "No! I will not defect before I investigate the truth that the organization has been trying to conceal. I am just curious, what is your relationship with the organization? Why did the organization still not choose to fall out after doing such a thing?"
"Haha, because I have enough power to make them dare not act rashly. What's more, the organization is not as scary as you think. It is essentially just a scientific research institution from a continental country on the other side of the sea." Allen replied meaningfully.
"The country on the other side of the sea? A scientific research institution?" Milia's expression suddenly changed.
Combined with the information she had secretly collected before, she had begun to realize what was probably going on with Yoma and Awakened Beings in this land.
"Why, do you feel weird?
Or do you think the land beneath our feet is the entire world?
No kidding!
It only takes about ten days to complete this island from east to west and from south to north.
If the whole world was only this size, it would be a little too small.
The truth is that across the endless sea, there is a piece of land dozens of times larger than here.
There lives a huge population and two countries that are hostile to each other.
One of the countries invested some powerful biological weapons, causing the other country to suffer a disastrous defeat.
In order to reverse the disadvantage, the latter captured one or two of the biological weapons, and then conducted various crazy experiments on the island.
The agency responsible for the experiment is called an organization.
The so-called Warrior, Yoma and Awakened Beings are all biological weapon prototypes created by the organization.
In other words, everyone on the island has been deceived by the lies fabricated by the organization and lives under their control.
Your beloved hometown is nothing more than a testing ground for others. "
Allen told all the secrets about the organization in public in a casual tone.
"What? You mean... this land is all a place where the organization conducts experiments? "Helen yelled loudly.
For Claymore, who originally thought they joined the organization to protect humanity and fight against Yoma and Awakened Beings, nothing is more painful and devastating than learning the cruel truth.
After all, to become a Claymore is not only to endure physical pain, but also to completely give up the dignity of a "human" and endure isolation, loneliness, and the rejection and disgust of ordinary people.
In the past, they could comfort themselves that they were making self-sacrifice for a higher ideal.
But now...
When the last hope and faith collapsed, people like Helen and Deneve, who knew nothing about the organization's shady past, suddenly felt that their lives were meaningless.
But soon, feelings of anger and hatred toward the organization came over him.
Seeing that the reaction of the two teammates was a bit excessive, Milia immediately shouted loudly, "Calm down! These things are not confirmed yet! We can't just believe one side of the story! Evidence must be found!"
"Evidence? "Helen was stunned.
Milia nodded seriously. "That's right! evidence! Although I think that Lord Western Lands has no reason to deceive us, we must confirm it with our own eyes."
"I also think we should investigate it myself. "Deneve stood unequivocally on the side of Milia.
"Okay, it's up to you. I also want to know why the organization sent us to carry out this kind of death mission. "Helen decided to join after thinking for a moment.
"Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. I support your decision. But be careful, the trump card the organization has is not something you can deal with now. As a parting gift, let me tell you the real secret of Life Energy..."
Seeing the three members of the original "protagonist group" suddenly awakening, Allen had a gloating smile on his face, and he told Ability Development's experience and skills without hesitation.
After all, before this, Claymore Warrior people's understanding of Life Energy was basically the same as that of Yoki, which was used to simply enhance attack power, defense power and speed. They never thought that it could develop various weird and unpredictable abilities.
But now, a new door has been opened to them...
