Chapter 21 Sword Embryo I

Since ancient times, demons have invaded the human world, transformed into human forms and devoured human internal organs for a living, and the only way for humans to do anything about demons is to turn to female warriors with giant swords on their backs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoBecause the warriors have superhuman strength because they have mixed the flesh and blood of demons in their bodies, humans also regard them as aliens, relying on them to kill demons on the one hand, and fearing and repelling them on the other, and calling them "claymore" (great sword).

The Great Sword is the arbiter, the warrior, but even more the Avenger. Wielding the sword of judgment representing rage, they slay the demons. Legend has it that as long as you pay the Great Sword's organization, "Stave", you can apply for a demon crusade mission. The great sword will come as promised and slay the demons. The Starf Order is not only responsible for arranging tasks for Greatsword, but also for training new Greatsword. Its headquarters is on the eastern side of the continent, hidden among the mountains. The entire organization was built on a mountain, layered on top of each other, and the exact location was only known to the relevant personnel of Greatsword and Starf. The jungle surrounded by the Starff Organisation is home to a variety of ferocious beasts, known as a forbidden area for humans.

Once someone wanted to explore this fabled organization, he galloped along the mountain roads with his servant guide and steed, and was never heard from again. Only a few days later, the guide came back from the mountains alone, but he was silent. No matter how others try to knock on the side and inquire in many ways, there is no result. After the guide returned, he drank every day and never asked about the world again. Those who have good deeds do what they like, and drink wine with their guides for three months. Finally, after a drunken episode, the guide intermittently said that there were "terrible monsters" and "wild men" in the jungle. At this point, the guide immediately sobered up, got up, pulled his legs and left. After a few days, people felt strange when they didn't see their guide for many days. Even the people who had been drinking with the guide disappeared without a trace.

Since then, the Starf Organisation has not been explored.

But this animal does not understand the taboos between humans, and there are high-flying birds and finches that pass freely. On this day, a swift flew in the valley, swooping down from between the clouds, and when it was about to hit the trees, it changed its direction and skimmed between the leaves. The small figure shuttles through the mountains, hovering, so unhappy. Just as I was in a clearing on the slope of Swift Mountain, I was suddenly startled by a tooth-aching stinging sound. It turned out that in the clearing, two young girls were fighting each other wielding silver swords. Slightly taller was a girl with mid-length black curly hair, and she held a solid silver iron sword in her hand, but she looked like she was lightweight. Each sword swing in the air seemed unusually light, and the moves seemed to be easy and had the upper hand. The other girl she was fighting against looked a little conservative, wearing a somewhat shabby straw hat and short black neck-length hair, slightly shorter than the girl just now. Her sword didn't look so fancy, but it looked steady and decent. Both of them were slender girls, looking twelve or thirteen years old.

The girl who had the upper hand narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a fierce light like a lion. The sword in her hand also increased in speed and strength. Originally, the short-haired girl was a little overwhelmed, and now she is even more in a hurry. I saw the short-haired girl struggling to hold a horizontal batch with the sword in her hand, and she didn't want the horizontal batch to bring up a faint sword wind. The short-haired girl was swept by the sword wind, her feet were unstable, and she took a few steps back in a row. The girl with medium and long hair followed a few moves, and the short-haired girl finally threw the sword in her hand and admitted defeat on the spot.

"You can't beat it, you can't beat it, you're too strong. ā€

The short-haired girl sat on the ground, panting. She took off her straw hat and wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeves, revealing a childish face. Another girl has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a delicate figure, and her swaying long hair exudes a charming taste. She shook the sword in her hand, and the posture looked elegant and decent, clear and lovely. Although she won, the long-haired girl didn't seem to be very happy.

"You're releasing water again. ā€

"No, I don't. ā€

The long-haired girl stared at the short-haired girl for a while, sighed, and sat down. The way she sat down was also quite graceful, and if there was a man watching here, she would be afraid to stare out of her eyes. The short-haired girl watched the long-haired girl sit down and breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting the long-haired girl to suddenly wave the sword in her hand. The sword slashed straight at the short-haired girl's chest. The short-haired girl was taken aback, she didn't expect the other party to say that she would do it, and her sword was not in her hand, so she had to stretch out her right hand and put it on her chest. The long-haired girl's sword swept over, but the short-haired girl pinched the tip of the sword with three fingers.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, the long-haired girl snorted coldly, and continued to exert force in her hand, so that she had to stab the other party to death. The short-haired girl saw that the matter of her hand had been revealed, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and she also used real strength in her hand. The long-haired girl was holding the sword with both hands, but the short-haired girl was stuck with the blade. The bright silver sword froze in the distance like a snake that had been stuck seven inches. The long-haired girl gritted her teeth, her pretty face flushed, and she couldn't push the sword forward by half a minute. The long-haired girl knew that it was because the difference in strength between the two was too great. She threw her training sword on the ground and remained silent.

These two are none other than Tifa and Sulfona, and it's been almost three years since they came to the Greatsword Order, Stave. At that time, both of them were a little out of strength, and Tifa was also severely dehydrated, but fortunately they were rescued by the collaborators of the Great Sword Organization Starff, and the two children were relieved. Later, the collaborator told them that there were no more people alive in the town where they lived. Even on the map in the hands of the Bishop of the Holy City, this area has become a shadowed no-man's land. Two minor children could not live on this wasteland. The mainland has primitive science and technology, and the transportation is inconvenient, so the two of them have no other place to go, so they have to join the big sword organization.

At that time, the collaborators promised Sulfona and Tifa that joining the organization could become a great sword and avenge their parents. Sulfona originally wanted to say that she and Tifa had killed a demon and wanted to add luster to her qualifications, but she was pulled back by Tifa. Tifa spoke to the collaborator as a representative of the two people. She says that she is the daughter of the lord, and that Sulfona is an orphan adopted by the lord and has grown up with her as her own maid. Now the lord's family, along with the lords, has been killed by demons. Only two people went out to play and encountered a passing big sword, which saved their lives. The collaborator nodded in understanding, and Sulfona stumped beside her. She herself was neither Tifa's maid nor an orphan, and the lord of the place, Zimmerman, had actually been killed by Tifa's own hands. But since Tifa wouldn't let her talk much, Sulfona was happy to keep her mouth shut.

She could tell that Tifa didn't trust the Greatsword Organization very much, and Sulfona thought it was because she didn't have much hatred for demons. The demon didn't kill anyone close to her, and before the demon destroyed Tifa's shelter, Tifa himself destroyed it. As for the people who died in the territory, Tifa, as the child of a nobleman, probably didn't know the faces of these people, let alone any feelings. But Sulfona always remembered her parents. The straw hat her father gave her is still with her. Sulfona really wants to be a great sword to slay demons and prevent the tragedy from happening again.

In this way, the two children and hundreds of other little girls with similar backgrounds became trainees of Greatsword. Some of these little girls were beggars and orphans, some were sold by their parents, but most of them were survivors of villages destroyed by demons. It wasn't until they saw so many trainees that Sulfona and Tifa really felt how terrifying demons were. Sulfona and Tifa lived in a house hewn out of a cave with two dozen other little girls. The house is quite large, and the two windows are high up on it, which is considered a vent. All the children who live inside sleep on the floor at night, in the Chase bunk. Most of these little girls gritted their teeth and wanted to slaughter demons for revenge, and they dreamed and cried or howled loudly every night. In addition, some children get up early and some children get up late. At dawn the next day, mud-stained feet were always stepping on the sides of Sulfona and Tifa's faces. If you don't sleep well at night, you have to get up and go to the toilet, and in the morning some children have to jump a few times to start the day - all in all, there are always all kinds of noises in the house, which makes people uneasy. Thanks to them, Sulfona and Tifa's sleep quality has not been very good.

The house in the cave, the place against the wall is cooler in the summer. So in the summer, the children will rock and roll to the wall to sleep. Of course, it's the other way around when it's cold in winter. Everyone rolled to the middle of the house again, and so on. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be fights with others because of the position. grabbed the hair, gouged out the eyes, pinched the neck and pushed the chin, some kicked other people's legs and stomachs, and some grabbed other people's feet and pulled them around. The chaos of the period is not enough. Fortunately, it was after the start of training that there were a lot fewer such things.

The first few years of trainees are very hard, and they have to do high-intensity physical training every day, and they have to eat nutrients specially provided by some organizations. The color of those nutrients doesn't look good, and it makes people sick to their stomachs when they eat them. Some trainees call this green nutrient "fly droppings" and are adamant not to eat them. Although the trainees have a nominal manager, and there are often some injured swords in the organization to recuperate, they are not strict in their management. So these picky kids really got their wish and stopped eating those nutrients. Soon, however, they were gone. Some of them are unable to continue to be trainees because they can't stand the high-intensity training. Others went into shock in training. After this happened a few times, there was no more training of human nature, everyone behaved, and even got up and went to the toilet less often at night.

The organization was very satisfied with seeing the trainees become like this, so they added some spiritual encouragement sessions. These lessons are generally about the creeds that warriors follow (slaying demons, protecting humans, and strictly forbidding murder), as well as some of the rules of the organization. The warrior here refers to the "great sword". "Big sword" is actually a common name for the demon slayer. When they see a warrior slaying a demon, they usually look at the huge sword behind the other. Some people also describe fighters with physical characteristics. After the warrior fuses the flesh and blood of the demon, his body will be mutated. No matter what hair color or eye color people have, they will eventually turn into blonde and silver eyes, and their bodies will quickly grow to the size of adults. Some warriors may be only twelve or thirteen years old, but they have the body of an adult. Ordinary humans, who fear and loathe half-demons, will call the "Witches with Golden Hair and Silver Eyes" when they see the blonde warriors. The organization's claim to the trainees that they are serious about accepting the spirit of the organization can improve the survival rate of the trainees. When the trainees heard this, they all listened carefully.
