"Sister Lucyla, are you alright?"

After the mussel-type awakened person was killed, the other three warriors of the crusade team stepped forward to surround Lucira and nervously looked at her left arm, which had regained its original form, and was now covered with blue-black bruises.

"It's all right."

Lucila smiled and withdrew her arm, and exchanged the experience of this crusade with the three warriors as usual, but the hand behind her without a trace, the pain made her frown, unlike the external injuries that can recover quickly, the "internal injuries" caused by the blunt impact may take longer to recover......

"Sister Lucila is so powerful, it seems that it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to No.1."

On the way back together, the topic of the crusade fighters inevitably came to this ranking.

"That's right, it would be nice if Sister Lucila was NO.1. The current NO.1 Sistina, I met her once before, and I always felt that she was ...... "Speaking of the current NO.1, one of the fighters seemed to be unable to find the right word for a while, but looking at her expression, it was obviously not a compliment."

"Weird, isn't it? I couldn't understand what she was thinking...... Yes!? The other fighter, as if he had also met NO.1, said at this time, but as soon as he started, he was flicked on the forehead by Lucyla.

"It's not good to speak ill of people behind your back." Lucilla said half-jokingly, half-seriously to the warrior who was covering her forehead.

"It's not bad for you." The warrior stamped his foot and grumbled like a coquettish, "Wasn't Sister Lucira at the same time as her?" You should know ......" At this point, she suddenly fell silent, because in front of them, there stood a man dressed in black.

"Goodbye then, Sister Lucilla."

The three warriors seemed to be pulled back to reality in an instant, and after whispering goodbye to Lucila one after another, their expressions changed from the original laughing expressions that were no different from ordinary girls to the usual cold-faced and ruthless warrior expressions, bypassing the black-clothed man in front of them, and each running to the place where he had made an appointment with his agent in advance.

"It's still so popular."

The man in black helped his small round sunglasses, "Didn't I bother you by appearing too early?" ”

"I just like the fact that you're self-aware. Lelu. Lucilla glanced sideways at her agent.

"Don't hurt people so much, I'm so anxious to find you, but I'm here to tell you good news." Lulu smiled, but his smile was always a sinister smile to Lucilla. After seeing that Lucila didn't seem to be looking forward to the so-called "good news" at all, he said to himself, "Congratulations on your promotion to No.3." ”

There is no such thing as a "organization" such as a qualifying battle or a challenge qualifier. I think you should also know: too troublesome. Don't say much, just say that if a NO.10 with NO.1 potential wants to be promoted, is it possible that the "organization" will recall all NO.1 to 9 to the organization, and then start fighting in the ring one by one? After the fight, in each of the respective jurisdictions? In this world where transportation depends entirely on legs and animal power, the time to travel back and forth is calculated in terms of weeks, even if it is based on the strength of the warrior's strength and feet, even if it is day and night...... Monkeys don't take such slips either. If that's the case, the organization doesn't have to take on the task, and just nests in Stuff (the far east where the organization is located) to engage in the "No. 1 Kendo Club in the World".

Therefore, for the ranking and promotion of fighters, it is basically an assessment system, according to the amount of tasks completed by each warrior, the level of the task (as for the success or failure, it doesn't matter, the result of the failure of the mission is to die to the enemy), as well as the "special" sword and demonic skills, according to which the council of the organization will judge your ascension.

As for if you are not satisfied with the result (usually the degraded party), the organization will either ignore it (e.g., Rosemary who was directly defeated by Dinisha), or arrange a "chance encounter" for you to have private (e.g., before Priscilla's debut, Innelli said that she was convinced when she met her). As for the way to deal with it, it usually depends on whether the difference between the strength and weakness of the two is obvious enough.

"Is there any opinion on Sanya?"

Lucila frowned slightly and was a little puzzled, she had the impression that the NO.3 Sanya still attached more importance to this ranking. I'm afraid I won't just give up, and asking for a "self-negotiated solution" is certain.

"The dead don't have an opinion." Lu Lu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Sanny, she'......" Lucila was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious, and she asked, "What the hell is going on!" ”

"When will you be able to fix this problem?" Although Lu Lu admonished her like this, he told her in the next sentence, "I heard that it was an accident, originally she formed a crusade with three other warriors to crusade against a certain Awakened, but she and two of the warriors did not run far away from the assembly place, and encountered another Awakened. As a result, the warrior who was left alone in the assembly area was killed by the target awakened person, and the three of them were also wiped out by the joint efforts of the two awakened people. ”

"Is that really the case?" Lucira stared straight at Lulu.

"That's scary." Lulu pressed his hat, and the corners of his mouth hung on a smile that Lucira hated.

Lucilla was silent for a long time before asking, "Who are the other three warriors?" ”

"When I think about it, it seems to be NO.11, NO.19 and NO.20, and I can't remember the names."

Lucira didn't ask anything, just asked where her next mission would be before turning away.

……

That night. In the wild forest, under the cold moonlight, Lucilla, who had taken off her armor and only wore a straitjacket, knelt down on her knees in front of the three stones she was standing on, and took out a pendant hanging around her neck from the chest of her underwear, which was a serpentine ring column symbolizing the symbol of "Rapoll". And on the three stones in front of him, the sword marks of the four warriors NO.3, NO.11, NO.19, and NO.20 are accurately engraved.

"Sanya, Lapzel, Delins, Nana, may ......," Lucira clenched the pendant in both hands, her lips squirming as she read the prayer for rest.

…………

[After becoming an active warrior, due to her dedication to speed, she figured out the skills to completely liberate her legs and control the timing of her closure, and quickly rose to single digits in the name of "flash", but at this time, in front of her, there were two almost insurmountable mountains - NO.1 Heavenly Yu-Sistina and NO.2 Sky Sword-Canaan.

NO.2 is before entering the organization, there is a practice of "family swordsmanship", in terms of swordsmanship alone, no one in the contemporary warriors can be outstanding, and it is fortunate to put forward a request for exchange after a common mission.

But after she stepped into its maximum attack range, the whole person seemed to be suppressed by an invisible all-round direction, feeling very uncomfortable, proud of her extreme speed, and useless in front of this NO.2, under its conditioned reflex-like sharp sword moves, all her movements were suppressed and crushed at the first time.

Afterwards, she also pondered that NO.2 was probably by releasing her own demonic energy to create a "domain" of her own around it, and others would unconsciously fall into a state of tension after entering, and within this range, Canaan's superb sword skills that penetrated into instinct could be launched even if you closed your eyes.

And the competition with NO.1 made her lose the confidence to pursue "speed first", because at the moment of the competition, she felt her breath suffocated, and then found that her nose was pinched by NO.1 at some point, and she didn't need to compare it next, because it already means that as long as Sistina wants to, she can lose her eyes at the moment of war......]

……

How long will this NO.3 undead haunt himself?

In the hotel room, Gray sat up from the bed with his head in one hand. Listening to the sound of Suosuo placing objects outside the window, it was Gray who was woken up by this sound, helplessly walked to the window, looked down, and saw several young people who were stacking firewood, so frightened that they immediately threw down their things and ran away.

Want to burn down with the hotel while you're napping? Gray leaned on the windowsill with one hand on his cheek. In the past few days, he can be regarded as aware of various anomalies that he has probably been "exposed", but the means they have solved themselves have only now been discovered. I don't know how effective this trick is against ordinary demons, but it's definitely useless against an awakened person like himself.

In any case, he should also take the initiative to leave "decently", before they go to entrust the big sword or before the big sword arrives, plus the map of this world has been obtained (albeit poor), and the information that can be obtained from them has been obtained, and the rest is probably not known to ordinary people like them.

Of course, the most important thing is...... That irrepressible hunger began to loom again, and it was ...... the last time It's been eight days, and it seems that this is the ...... of the Awakened Feeding cycle. If you continue to stay in a crowded town, I'm afraid something will happen. Although the change of "demon consciousness" made him not resist eating human guts at all, he still didn't want to do it if he could.

After making this decision, Gray casually packed his things and walked down with his backpack. When I went downstairs, I saw the counter, and Calvin, who was wearing dark circles under his eyes, had an attitude of "it doesn't matter what".

As the innkeeper, he had to keep an eye on the movements of the "demon", but how could the energy of ordinary people be compared to the awakened, and it was not easy to find out that the target slept for the first time in a few days, but the "action" was exposed not long after it began. The lack of sleep in the past few days has made his spirit numb, and now even after the incident, he doesn't feel so terrible when he sees the "demon" coming down to "settle accounts".

"I'm ready to leave, you can figure out how much money you have to make up."

Gray placed his backpack on the counter and pulled out the "Billa" inside. Trying to hold his breath not to smell the rich scent wafting from Calvin's body, and desperately trying to dispel illusions about how to disembowel him...... The mouth was constantly secreting saliva, so he was afraid that when he spoke, saliva would squirt out along with him.

"You've already paid three beatelas before, and now another beatra is enough......" Calvin replied cautiously, stunned for a long time. But as soon as the words came out, he secretly scolded himself for being a ghost, as long as he could live, he still wanted to ask the "demon" for money.

It's less than I imagined, and it seems that "Bila" is quite strong/stiff...... Gray thought so crankily, he took out a handful of golden cylinders and threw them down, put on his backpack and turned around and pushed the door out of the hotel, he just wanted to hurry to a place away from the people, and now he was like a hungry man, but in the midst of a candy house that smelled of temptation.

"Ding—"

Listening to the ringing of the bell on the door, Calvin stared blankly at the still shaking door. It's as simple as that? Looking back on the experience of the past few days, the more I think about it, the more unreal it feels, did I really stay with the "demon" for five days?
