There is no doubt about the power of Pricia, the awakened person who can kill the previous generation's 1'Smiling Teresa', even if the opponent uses despicable means of sneak attacks. Anyway, the organization does not want to touch the opponent.
They are in bad luck, and they don’t want to provoke the other party.
Therefore, maybe it was to make Claire, who was unwilling to obey Pricia, recognize the facts and face up to her own strength so as to dispel some unwanted thoughts, or maybe it was for some other reason.
Lulu, Ya's agent, directly incorporated Claire, the "big sword" numbered 47 at the end of the crane, into a crusade to hunt the awakened ones.
Claire didn't mind that kind of dangerous mission very much, but accepted it happily.
Because, she herself also wants to know how strong the average 'awakened person' can be!
Next, after a week of running around and traveling, Claire and Lackey finally found the other three members of the expedition team who had been waiting for a long time in a small town. They are:
The strongest member among the four, Miria the Phantom, who ranks sixth in the single digits of the organization, is also the team leader, and has seven experiences of hunting those with abnormal appetites, also known as the "Awakened Ones"
.
Tineb, ranked 15th, is participating in the hunting of people with abnormal appetite for the second time.
The other one is 22 Hui Lian. Like Claire, the opponent has no experience in hunting people with abnormal appetites. Although its strength ranking is slightly lower, compared with Claire's crane tail, it is
Much stronger?
Anyway!
Although at first, the three people were shocked when they heard that Claire was actually 47 at the end of the crane and had no experience in hunting people with abnormal appetites. They had no idea why the organization would send her here.
Then, Nadineb and Huilian even sneered at Claire, and almost got into a fight because of it?
However, fortunately, the 6th ranked 'Phantom Miria' still has some prestige, so although she also didn't know why the organization sent Claire, she finally spoke as the captain and accepted Claire, and then
Then he took the three people to the location of the mission target mentioned by the organization.
But the result...
What the four people never expected was that there were serious flaws in the information provided by the organization!
The ‘abnormal appetite person’ who is about to be punished is not the awakened female sword at all, but a male awakened person, and his strength is beyond imagination?
Because of the incorrect intelligence, when the two sides came face to face, the captain who was caught off guard, the 6th ranked 'Phantom Miria', was seriously injured, while the 15th ranked Tineb had his shoulder shattered in an instant and fell off the cliff to his death.
Unexpectedly, the entire four-person sword team instantly fell into a very bad and passive situation.
Immediately afterwards, after a scuffle, the remaining three people and Tineb, who had returned again, finally managed to stabilize the situation, and together they fought against the overly powerful male 'Awakened One'.
Unfortunately, it was of no use. In the end, all four of them were defeated, and they were almost wiped out by the group.
Fortunately, although the enemy succeeded in sneak attack, the 6th-ranked 'Phantom Miria' was not a wasted person after all. Although the opponent was severely injured, he still managed to fight with Claire who had awakened some magical ability.
Joining forces together, they finally cut the male 'Awakened One', who should not and could not be defeated by them, into a pile of corpse fragments scattered on the ground!
Finally, when Claire, the seriously injured Tineb, and Huilian were about to pack up and go back to recover and lick their wounds, surprisingly, the 'Phantom Miria' suddenly stopped the three of them.
, and asked solemnly:
"I have something to ask you..."
"For the four of us here, this is a very important matter, so, if possible, I hope you can answer it truthfully."
It’s not difficult to know just from Miliya’s words and attitude. She seems to be doing something very important?
"..."
"..."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Claire, Tineb, and Huilian looked at each other in surprise at first, and then none of the three of them spoke in a hurry, but just used their eyes to signal Miriya to continue.
"you……"
"Have you all awakened before?"
Then, in the slightly surprised and surprised looks of the three people, Miriya asked so coldly without saying anything surprising.
"Don't even try to lie to me!"
"I can see that."
"And there are some things that I will only continue to talk about if you admit them!"
Seeing that no one of the three of them said anything, the 'Phantom Miria' snorted and urged impatiently.
"..."
"I have."
Finally, she looked at Nadineb and Huilian, and saw that they were still hesitant. Claire didn't know what she was thinking of. First her eyes moved, and then she looked at Miria openly.
He admitted it and continued:
"I had two..."
"Once in the cathedral of Santo La Bona City, I accidentally crossed the line because of injury and overexertion."
"The situation was similar the other time, although I took the initiative..."
"At that time, the intense pain made me fall into a trance and despair, but I don't know why, but I recovered again."
In fact, those two times were all because Annie helped suppress the demonic power, even her friend Elena! However, now she still doesn't know what she wants to say or do to that 'Phantom Miria'.
So of course we won't reveal more secrets easily.
"really!"
"What about you?"
Hearing Claire's words, Miria didn't have much surprise on her face. She just nodded clearly, and then looked at Tineb and Huilian.
"Bitter!"
"That's right!"
"You're right, I've had it too!"
"Because I was careless and couldn't resist the urge to awaken with the man..."
"And Tineb too!"
"However, she almost awakened in order to test her own boundaries, but like me, she also found herself in time."
"Are you satisfied?"
"Say it! What do you want to say?"
After explaining the situation of herself and her companions impatiently, Huilian looked at Miliya a little arrogantly and irritably, wondering why the other party would ask them such a thing inexplicably.
"That's right."
"Coincidentally!"
"me too……"
"I also woke up, but I woke up halfway..."
"It seems that the mission issued by the organization this time is very interesting. We are all problem warriors who have awakened!"
However, the 'Phantom Miria' did not explain directly, but said this in front of the three people in a joking and self-deprecating way.
"!!"
Hearing what Miria said, Claire was naturally startled, and then frowned subconsciously.
"!!"
"What do you mean?"
Although Huilian has a bad temper, she is obviously not stupid. Therefore, after Miria's summary, and then thinking about the wrong information and the overly powerful male awakener, she still doesn't know what he is.
Condition?
"You mean..."
"This mission..."
"Is there an inside story?!"
Although Huilian had vaguely guessed it, she was still a little unbelievable, and then she couldn't help but look at Namilia again with her eyes rounded and asked.
"Ah!"
"Do you still want me to explain it clearly?"
"Gathered all the problem fighters in the organization to form a crusade team, and then provided wrong intelligence to let the crusade team fight against the overly powerful Awakeners..."
Miliya did not explain more, but continued with a cold face and some fear:
"if……"
"If I fell down due to a sneak attack at the beginning, you must have been wiped out by that guy now, right?"
That’s right!
If Miria hadn't fallen down in the first blow of the demon's sneak attack, and if Claire hadn't suddenly realized some weird ability, the four of them would have been dead.
!
Because, in that case, Miria alone or Claire, who suddenly understood the skills, would definitely not be the opponent of the awakened one!
And that kind of result may be what the organization hopes to see most and is within the plan. On the contrary, the fact that the four people are still alive now is an accident?
"you mean!"
"The organization wants to eliminate us?"
Tineb and Huilian looked at each other in shock with their silver eyes, and then asked angrily together after seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
"But!"
"Why?"
"Why?!"
Yes, they didn't understand Miliya's explanation, and they didn't understand why a good organization wanted to eliminate them, and also provided wrong information and deliberately set up such a situation.
"Why?"
"Ah!"
“It’s easy!”
"First of all, in the eyes of the organization, those of us who have exceeded the limit, although we are not yet awakened, we are already on the road to awakening. The boundaries that are no longer clear, and the strong sense of hunger that comes from time to time, you
You should know it very well, right?"
"snort!"
"For the organization, we are just a bunch of dispensable tools and a bunch of troubles that can be dealt with at any time..."
"In other words, in their eyes, we are no longer of use value!"
With a sneer, Miria's expression began to become a little distorted as she spoke, and then, before the three of them could recover, she continued without saying anything surprising:
"not to mention……"
"When my friend died tragically in front of me, and when I secretly made up my mind to take revenge on the organization, I seemed to accidentally know a secret of the organization that most didn't want people to know..."
"But you'd better not ask!"
"With your current strength, it would be bad for you if we knew about it, and I'm afraid the organization won't let you go easily!"
Seeing Claire, Tineb and Huilian all seemed to want to ask, Miria reached out her hand in time to signal and blocked them.
"Tsk!"
"Stop pretending!"
"How can we believe you if you don't tell us?"
"Huilian is right!"
"Who knows if it was because you knew the organization's secrets that the organization wanted to get rid of you?"
"Perhaps, we are all just implicated by you!"
Tineb and Huilian looked at each other again, and then the two guys who seemed to be good friends refuted and sneered at Miriya.
"Yeah?"
"You really think that?"
Miria first glanced at Claire who was silent and didn't know what she was thinking, and then continued to tease Tineb and Huilian:
"The free expansion and contraction of the wrist..."
"There is also a powerful ability to regenerate severed limbs..."
"No matter how you look at it, you two don't look like normal warriors, right?"
"Those should be abilities you possess after awakening, am I right?"
At this point, after seeing Tineb and Huilian's silence and livid and distorted faces, and seeing that they were talking without any further argument, she continued with a deep sigh and continued:
"actually……"
"We are already on the road to awakening. I have seen some documents in the organization. It is said that once a boundary is crossed, there is no going back..."
"What is certain is that we are just suspending our awakening now. One day, we will still be in danger of awakening in certain states!"
"Even if you may have been implicated this time because of me, please believe me, you will be cleared by the organization sooner or later!"
"so……"
"How do you think about it? Are you willing to join my team to resist and take revenge on the organization?"
After saying that, after seeing that the three of them had roughly understood their respective situations, Miliya looked at the three of them with stern eyes and asked.
"..."
"..."
Tineb and Huilian did not answer in a hurry, they just looked at each other and exchanged a certain look, then frowned and thought with some uneasiness and annoyance on their faces.
"..."
And Claire is almost the same.
She didn't rush to express her position or speak, she just remained silent. She didn't know what she was thinking. It was only when Miria looked at her again that she suddenly spoke and asked:
"Miriya."
"The secret you just mentioned that the organization least wants people to know..."
"Could it be that the organization made big swords and monsters, then deliberately released the monsters to kill people, and then sent the big swords to kill the monsters to earn bounties, so as to continuously obtain funds and continue to study the monsters?
Bar?"
Abruptly, under the disbelieving looks of Miriya, Tineb and Huilian, Claire suddenly whispered the secret that was enough to make the four of them silenced by the organization at all costs.
"!!"
"What did you say?!"
"this!"
"This is impossible!!"
And when Claire said that, Tineb and Huilian both took a deep breath and exclaimed.
"..."
Unfortunately, Claire was not in a hurry to explain. She just looked at Miria with a calm face, wanting to see what the other person's face and mouth could do that surprised her more than knowing the content.
Tell me why.
"ha!"
"Okay now, it's too late for you two to join."
"What she just said..."
"You'd better not spread rumors, otherwise, the organization will not let you survive the next day. After all, you are not as strong as a single-digit warrior like me."
After lightly laughing, and then saying this to the astonished Tineb and Huilian, Miria turned to look at Claire and asked:
"It's just that I'm curious..."
"Claire, a warrior like you who ranks at the bottom should not have access to such core things. How do you know?"
Yes, Miliya is very curious about this.
After all, she discovered that secret accidentally, but she suffered from not having enough evidence, and the organization seemed to know that she knew it, and even more so that she didn't get more information. Coupled with her good strength,
That's why she tolerated it until today and prepared to secretly use the Awakened One to attack her.
But now, Claire, a low-ranking warrior, said it directly and carelessly, and looked like she had known it for a long time. That was really rare for her.
However, that also makes sense why Claire was sent.
It turns out that the person the organization wanted to get rid of was not just her, Miriam, but she wanted to know... when the organization sent Claire here, did she know that Claire knew that she, Miriam, was also the one who wanted to get rid of her?
The secret you know?
"Theresa told me a long time ago..."
"Monsters will appear in every wealthy village, town, and city. Then, the organization will receive the commission and send soldiers to kill the monsters. Those villages, towns, and cities that refuse to pay afterwards will soon be attacked and destroyed by a large number of monsters...
…”
"That kind of thing happens again and again..."
"Gradually, no one dares to resist the organization, and no one dares to refuse to pay..."
Having said this, Claire's hands couldn't help but clenched.
She suddenly understood that the misfortune that happened to her when she was young, as well as the misfortune now, as well as Theresa's tragedy, were all caused by the organization. Therefore, in addition to revenge against Pricia, that Miria
What you just said is correct, she also needs to take revenge on the organization!
"how come?"
"etc!"
"Who is Theresa?"
"Is she famous?"
After a series of shocks, Tineb and Huilian, who had recovered, were shocked and of course they hurriedly continued to ask Claire.
After all, even Claire, the 47th-ranked warrior behind the wheel, seemed to know more than them, so they were somewhat unbalanced.
"Theresa..."
"Fighter No. 182 of the 77th period of the organization was once ranked No. 1 and was known as the 'Smiling Teresa'. He was once rated by the organization as the 'strongest' fighter in history!"
She never expected that Claire, the weakest fighter in the organization, would be somehow related to the strongest fighter. Miria was surprised, so of course she explained directly to Claire.
"The strongest in history?"
"this……"
"Then why haven't we heard of it before?"
"Where is she now?"
Tineb and Huilian felt that they had heard too many secrets today, so that their brains were not full. But anyway, they continued to ask, wanting to know more.
"She's here..."
"Her head is in my chest..."
"I am a quarter demon flesh and blood warrior transformed with Teresa's flesh and blood."
Gently stroking her chest and abdominal surgery area, Claire said without any concealment.
"..."
"..."
"..."
At this time, the three of them, including Miria, remained silent, and then just looked at Claire with their surprised eyes.
Especially Miria, she now finally knows why Claire had such an amazing performance when she killed the Awakener just now, but it turned out to be because of this?
then!
In this way, after continuing to talk for a while, the four of them finally reached a consensus and formulated a general policy, which is: Claire, Tineb and Huilian will continue to stay in the organization and pretend to be nothing.
None of it happened!
Then, when performing tasks in the future, try not to question or resist the organization, let alone have any disobedience to the organization, at least not openly. Just pay attention quietly and take the opportunity to collect intelligence secretly.
At the same time, the three of them also need to be careful. If possible, they should try their best to instigate rebellion and strengthen the resistance if they meet other fighters in the organization.
Of course, everything must be done in secret, without exposing themselves.
As for Miria...
After what happened today, both she and the organization already know that the relationship between her and the organization has been completely broken, and it is impossible to go back.
Therefore, she planned to capture her agent first when she returned, interrogate him, and then leave the organization directly to start investigating more information about the organization.
"Milia..."
"And everyone!"
"if……"
"You encounter some troubles that you cannot solve by yourself, and if the surrounding villages and towns happen to find a little girl wearing a red skirt and carrying a female knight in gold and red plate armor behind her, you can ask them for help, using
my name."
"I think they will help you."
Finally, when the four of them had reached a consensus and were about to leave, Claire suddenly called out to Miliyasan and warned them with some worry.
"oh?"
"It seems..."
"The weakest warrior in our organization seems to be progressing faster than me!"
She glanced at Claire again in surprise, and then Miria said nothing, just waved her hands and turned away with a half-smile.
…
"ah……"
()
"Ah sneeze!!"
ε=(ˇεˇ))) Bah!!
And just when the four of them finished their plot and turned around to leave, in a restaurant in a town far away from the four of them's mission, a certain troubled little girl suddenly sneezed loudly, and then used
He rubbed his nose vigorously with his greasy hands and said to the guard standing aside:
"Strange……"
(′～`●)
"Elena!"
(^～^;)ゞ
"Why do I always feel weird today? It seems like some bad guy is plotting against me?"
(ˇεˇ)
Annie muttered a little unhappily.
But soon, without waiting for Elena to answer, she put that kind of thing behind her and continued to eat her delicious food seriously.
Think about it, in that endless world and endless planes of the universe, there are so many people who are chanting, muttering, missing, praying and even hating her, Queen Anne. How can she find the time to carefully distinguish so many people?
With that kind of free time, she might as well think carefully about what to eat at night!
Although, now she hasn’t even finished her lunch...
