Chapter 92: Cause and Effect and Entrustment
As Li Fang "guessed", Claire, who fought Ophelia in the lake, showed her skills, and with her extremely high-speed sword skills and agile posture, each fight left a wound on Ophelia the Awakened.
The surface of the lake splashed for a while, and the surrounding fog was also stirred up to flow and swirl in all directions.
But just as she cut off Ophelia's arms and was about to give her a fatal blow, her hand holding the sword suddenly and involuntarily let go!
With the sword pointing downwards into the dirt at the bottom of the lake, Claire held her trembling right arm with her left hand, her eyes painful, and bruises on her cheeks.
Ophelia's armless body propped up from beneath the surface of the lake, and the blow knocked her out of the water, her purple skin now covered in scars.
She should have taken the opportunity to attack and kill Claire in one fell swoop, but she didn't, and she spoke, giving Claire time to restrain the loss of control of her right arm and hold the hilt of her sword again.
"That arm isn't yours, I think I've seen it somewhere. It's that woman's, that damn hateful woman...... Innelli's right arm! ”
If you look closely, you can see that the outfit of Claire's right arm does not match the standard greatsword outfit she wears at all, and there are several black leather buckles on the brown arm guard of her right arm, which contrasts significantly with the silver-white color of the greatsword outfit.
Ophelia was right, this was indeed Innelli's right arm as a gift to Claire.
……
Not long ago, Claire received another crusade from the Awakened, and the only companion was Ophelia, of course, at that time, Ophelia, who had not yet awakened.
Because of the semi-awaken, the demonic energy on Claire's body is already slightly different from the ordinary big sword, similar to the demonic energy of the awakened, which makes Ophelia, who has a very persistent killing intent towards the awakened, "fancie" her.
Being able to kill two Awakened at once, Ophelia is very excited!
Although there was some luck, the mission target was killed by Ophelia alone! Then she didn't let go of Claire, who had already fled, caught up, fought, and easily chopped Claire's right arm!
Although during the period after the semi-awakening, Claire's strength has grown rapidly, far from the original NO.47, but compared with the NO.4 Ophelia, she is still at a disadvantage in all aspects.
…… In desperation, a mysterious man dressed in a shabby black robe emerged from among the trees.
It's Inniri, who has been living in seclusion, but because she sensed the familiar demonic aura, she came over on purpose.
But Ophelia, who was on the rise, had no scruples and wanted to kill together with Inili. You must know that because of the long period of seclusion, there is no demonic energy emanating from Inniri's body...... However, Ophelia's rippling sword was easily blocked by Inelli, and then countless invisible attacks severely injured her and she fainted to the ground.
As the former NO.2, Innili's current strength is difficult to measure, and may even be enough to serve as the NO.1 of an era!
On the one hand, Claire is taken away by Inelli, and Ophelia wakes up from a serious injury due to delirium and memory confusion, causing her demonic powers to go berserk and awaken. Because of the chaos period, she has never been aware of her awakening.
On the other hand, after Innelli brought Claire back to her seclusion, she not only taught her her famous sword technique "High-Speed Sword", but finally gave her only remaining right arm to Claire, who was an offensive warrior and could not regenerate with a broken arm.
The reason for this dedication is because Inelle was appointed as the leader of the crusade against Teresa as the organization, and after witnessing the defeat of Teresa as the target of the crusade, her teammates Roa Lu and Sophia all died at the hands of Priscia after awakening, the unicorn monster's incomparable posture made her lose something in her heart after faking her death and didn't want to fight anymore.
Now seeing that the little girl that Teresa was protecting at the beginning has become a warrior Claire who is determined to kill Priscia to avenge Teresa, Innelli is naturally willing to help her...... Teresa was her former friend, after all.
For Innelli, who has always been unsmiling, with strength and wisdom, the only one who can be a friend among the contemporaries is Teresa, who is gentle and powerful at heart.
……
The morning light had gradually brightened, and the fog that had been billowing in the air had dissipated for some time, but the battle on the side of the lake had come to an eerie halt.
After a few encounters, Ophelia had already seen the principle of the sword technique used by Claire, the high-speed sword.
"One-armed demonic power is completely unleashed," Ophelia's face barely kept human features, and under the face of the mouth full of tiny fangs, which had become low, continued, "All you have to do is control that arm and never let go of the clenched sword, right?" ”
"It's too reluctant, you...... Because of that disproportionate right arm, your body is swaying. ”
Claire's face was solemn, she really hadn't gotten used to this right arm yet, and it was impossible to know how long she could use the high-speed sword, but now no matter how reluctant she was, she could only harden it.
Ophelia's attack didn't come as she expected, and she made a move, one that surprised both Claire and Li Fang and Joni, who were watching the fight.
Her scarred humanoid half of her body actually shrank back from her head!
Like a python swallowing a huge amount of food, a bulge appeared on the snake of the Awoken, moving backwards from where it should have been, shattering countless inelastic scales to the tip of its tail.
With a chilling creak, a human palm burst out of the bulge at the tip of the tail, and immediately after, the upper body of a naked woman broke free from the gap...... She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had just done something very difficult, and she was still stained with some clear slime like water.
"What is she doing here?" Jonny was incredulous, she had never heard of an Awakened being able to become so human-like, and it was so obvious that the warrior should have noticed it by now.
"I don't know, but since the Awoken has no intention of killing that warrior, let's just wait and see."
Li Fang couldn't remember the specific plot a little, but when he said this, he was actually thinking about another thing in his heart.
Listen to Galadia said that Heroda's black letter was successfully sent, and finally she died at the hands of Miriah as she wished, although I don't know what happened in the middle, but Ophelia should not be in the way, and there is no reason not to save her, right?
In addition, this is a great opportunity to experiment with the effect of resurrection armor on the awakened, whether it will have the effect that Anna has been expecting, Li Fang also wants to know.
"I've concentrated all my human parts on the tip of the tail, which means that this is my point," said the woman who came out of the tail, looking the same as Ophelia's human appearance, and said with a relaxed and polite face, "Come on, let's play a game." If you can cut off all my body and come here, you win; On the other hand, if you run out of energy, I win. ”
"That means that you don't have the strength to fight that one-horned monster, how about it? Interesting, right? ”
During the conversation just now, Ophelia had learned that Clea's target was also the one-horned awakened one, Priscia.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen scythe-like blades quickly grew from the original head and the roughly shaped body, like a predatory praying mantis, with a piercing sound of sharp blade rubbing, and rushed straight towards Claire.
