Chapter 255: Rebuttal
"If we just eliminate cravings and don't eat for a long time, the burden on our bodies will become heavier and heavier."
Octavia said this, but still caused Annabelle to stab her arm, "And then as time goes on, the body's thirst for food will become stronger and stronger, and in the end, even the strongest willpower will be exhausted, and it is possible to lose your mind." β
The mental strength suddenly increased in an instant, and although Octavia was mentally prepared, the surprise that appeared in the corners of her eyes could not be hidden.
"Don't worry, it's certainly not all."
Annabelle turned to the two of them and shouted, "Galadia, let the twins rest, I see that Bissi kid is already very tired." β
The Twins have been in a state of awakening in tune since they were perceived, which is undoubtedly a test for Bissi who is under mental pressure, and perhaps if it weren't for the fact that Li Fang had equipped Bissi with the Boots of Resistance before leaving Rapoll, the Twins would probably have been unable to hold on.
Galadia also didn't know Annabelle's plan, but she had been paying attention to Beatsy's state, and the child was indeed tired.
"Don't joke about that." She warned her, then reached out to wipe the sweat that slid down Bissi's cheeks, and whispered pity: "It's okay, you're doing a good job, now let my sister come back." β
In a few incomprehensible glances, Alicia's oppressive awakening posture quickly reversed back into a human body, and the elastic and specially designed black suit also just returned to its original shape, wrapping her body without any damage. Compared to her sister Bixi, she is in good shape.
"I release those two children, and you restore the twins to their original state. Is that what you call building trust, Anna? Octavia asked.
Annabelle shook her head in denial, "No, I just don't think there's any need for them to stay awake in tune anymore. β
"Oh?"
"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you." Li Fang stepped forward and pulled out the giant sword behind his back, "Although block my attack, don't fight back." β
"You should know that even if I stand still, you can't hurt me at all." Despite seeing that this man was fearless, Annabelle was even more relieved, Octavia still didn't believe that she would not be able to stop an ordinary person's attack.
"Then give it a try."
Li Fang felt that his heart had begun to stir, and the trembling feeling he had not felt for a long time made him clench the hilt of his sword with both hands, and slashed at Octavia with all his might, the speed was already beyond the scope of human beings!
It is at the age of young and hot-blooded, and he naturally yearns to fight, but he rarely has the opportunity to do so.
The blade was undoubtedly easily stopped by the ribbon formed by Octavia's arm, but the mutation also happened! From the moment the blade touched, the black line-like cracks spread rapidly, like traces of cracks in the parched earth.
"What is this!?" Octavia hurriedly withdrew her hand, but the crack was still spreading rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was crawling up most of her left arm.
Then, it collapsed like a fragment.
"Impossible! He's just human! Ricarudo was equally shocked, the unconventional scene in front of him was far more impactful than Annabelle's desire to quench their guts.
"That's what Anna calls trust, and when you are tagged, your body will become very fragile if she wants to." Li Fang retreated to Anna's side unsatisfied, and glanced at Lahuana, Miriya and the others.
With the exception of Galadia and Lavertea, who were unfamiliar with this ability, the other greatswords already understood the reason for this situation.
This is a special passive "Rundown" equipped with "Doomsday", which deals damage as a percentage.
The moment they heard the explanation, Octavia and Ricarudo's faces became very terrifying, and just touching would cause a huge amount of damage, which undoubtedly gave them an extra fatal weakness out of thin air.
In this way, Annabelle has too much influence on them, and they have little ability to resist her.
"I see, do you have trust in someone who can be killed at any time, Anna, I am really amazed by your ability." Octavia tried her best to restrain her emotions, but a little anger and reluctance could still be heard.
"On the other hand, you don't have to die here now, do you? As long as you can control the desire to eat, and then do something for us, it is not impossible to live in peace even in the future. Annabelle looked at Lahana and said to the two, "Before you, there were already successful examples. β
"What example?" Ricarudo asked in a deep voice.
"My sister, Luciella, is in Rapolle right now." Lavana explained earnestly.
Now Octavia and Ricarudo can't react a little, the South Abyss is still alive?
When the two of them were stunned, Annabelle turned sideways to Miriya and slowly explained, "I'm sorry for making up my own mind, but our purpose is to maximize our strength, so we tried to keep them." β
"Can you tell us about your plan?" Miria had always trusted Annabelle and Li Fang, and vaguely guessed the reason for doing so.
"Of course," Annabelle smiled, feeling the trust, "after destroying the Order, our next biggest threat will come from the South. We already know Isli's strength through the battle he had with Luciella, but Priscia is unfathomable, so in order to be more certain of the battle that will come, we must find a way to strengthen our side. β
"Octavia can help us find other awakened ones as soon as possible, which is an important source for 'me' to improve my ability after no organization creates demons, and by the way, it can also clear these unstable factors, and I also want to use her to test whether the resurrection armor can turn back into a human after exhausting the demon power......"
"As for Ricarudo, because of his hatred, he will be an important force to help us deal with Isli, and when strengthened, he will definitely have the power to match Isli. And if Livlu wants to make any moves, such as joining forces with Isley, he can also give our side a stable more abyss-level combat power. β
"But they're all awakened," Flora couldn't help but ask, a little difficult to accept, "just standing by our side is a great threat, is it just accepting them?" β
"It may be said that the merit will be atonement, as long as they are willing to cooperate......"
"But we don't necessarily need them," Miria said calmly, "and the task of searching for those awakened can be entrusted to Galadia, whose range of perception is the widest I've ever seen. And in the future, we will only have to wait to deal with Isli, Priscia, and even Livro. Whether it's 'your' ability or the strength of the warriors, they will grow over time, and their strength will be almost fixed after awakening. So time is on our side, Anna, we don't have to risk it. β
"They also wounded Aihua, Tabasha, and Yuma, and this revenge cannot be ignored." Jane added coldly.
Annabelle's eyes were slightly condensed, although she didn't want to admit it, she did have a hint of not wanting to kill Octavia in her heart, but Miriya and the others had a good reason, and there was no room for argument.
"Hehe, what a naΓ―ve idea."
Riccarudo's mockery suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, "Although I don't know what some of the things you are talking about, it seems that you really don't know Priscia's strength. β
"She's far more powerful than you think." As if recalling some uncomfortable memory, Ricarudo's eyes were heavy.
