However, the "Awakened Beings" also had a major flaw: once they underwent an awakened mutation, they could never return to being human.
Furthermore, after the awakened mutation, their human consciousness underwent tremendous changes. They might even feed on the internal organs of ordinary humans, rendering them unusable as SOLDIERs.
Since "Awakened Beings," once out of control, posed the danger of destroying even their own forces, the faction that possessed the technology quietly moved its experimental research to an island far from the continent.
They hoped to create controllable "Awakened Beings" on that island.
The "Dragon Descendant" was a race originally named Asalakem.
They were hermaphroditic, lived for around two hundred years, and did not age.
Even in their normal state, their bodies were more than twice the size of ordinary humans.
The "Dragon Descendant" also possessed an ability similar to awakened mutation.
Although this mutation differed fundamentally from that of the "Awakened Beings," it was similarly irreversible once they transformed.
Moreover, their awakened bodies were several times larger than their normal forms.
In addition, the "Dragon Descendant" possessed exceptionally vigorous Life Force. As long as they did not suffer fatal wounds, they could continue surviving for a long time even after their bodies had been severely damaged.
But once they died, their bodies decayed at a speed far beyond ordinary understanding.
Most importantly, the "Dragon Descendant" was also the source of power for the entire Claymore system.
The organization that controlled the Claymores had once conducted extensive research on captured Dragon Descendant specimens.
The organization fused flesh from Dragon Descendants in both their normal and awakened forms, causing a qualitative change that produced a new substance that would not decay.
By attaching this new substance to humans and using their heads as hosts for parasitism, they created the so-called "Yoma."
