Chapter 3: The Mysterious Slayer
"Then I'll go back to the organization first. The man in black shook the black cloth bag in his hand with one hand, and walked in the air with the other hand as if stroking something.
"You're going back too?" he retracted, pressing his hand lightly against his hat. "Didn't you say you must not leave her behind, and if you really want to go back—I don't know what they will do with you. Hehe, do you want to go back?"
There was silence, and only the sound of the black-clothed man's feet stepping into the sand drifted into the air. It's just that the corners of the black-clothed man's mouth are indeed spreading to both sides.
"Well, that's right. He shrugged his shoulders as if he was laughing, "But there's a special mission for you, this time you can kill people......
"Of course it's not for you to kill casually. The man in black shook his head, his reflective sunglasses completely blocking his eyes, "The subject is indeed the warrior just now, but you can only perform this mission under special circumstances." ”
"As for that special case, it means that once you find out that the warrior has a 1 percent chance of awakening, you have to kill her at the first opportunity. ”
"Well, it's true that her strength is far inferior to that of a single-digit ranked warrior, but if she becomes an Awakened One, she does have the ability to make the organization fearful. ”
"This ability does not mean that she will increase in strength when she is fully awakened, but that the ability she has may be retained, and if she is retained, she will become the most difficult awakened person. ”
"With her ability, the biggest difference between her and the existing Awakened is that she can completely hide her demonic energy without being detected, and the reason why the organization adopts a policy of ignoring the existing Awakened is because they don't eat much and each has its own range of activities and basically has no effect on humans, not to mention, their demonic energy is too strong and too easy to identify. Even if there is any movement, the organization can know it immediately with its 'eyes'. And if she becomes an Awakened and retains that ability and is somewhat enhanced, I'm afraid she won't be noticed even if she stands face to face with the 'eye'. If this is the case, if she is mixed into the organization and messed up, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"If it's so dangerous, why don't you kill her now? ”
"You don't have to be so nervous. With her ability, it is conservatively estimated that her critical point should be ten percent or more higher than that of ordinary warriors, after all, under normal conditions, even the color of her pupils can be maintained at normal black, and when she turns into silver pupils, she has liberated nearly five percent of her demonic power. Of course, since she has never liberated more than 30 percent, she can only speculate accordingly. I wonder if she can 100% unleash her demonic power without awakening, if that's really the case......"
"The organization will immediately use her as research material and kill her, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to do it. ”
"But until then, you have to follow her well. I'll go back and report. ”
Izuy walked so fast that she leapt several meters forward almost as soon as her feet touched the ground. Not far away, a vague outline of the town has already appeared.
"One, two, three...... Four, five!" she sensed the demonic aura in the town as she ran towards it without stopping. The outline of the town is also getting bigger and clearer.
"Huh? She stopped abruptly and stared at the town not far away. "Why is one missing? Did I perceive it wrong?" Confusion flashed across her face, and this time she closed her eyes, carefully sensing the situation in the town.
"That's not right...... One less!" She stared at the town, wondering what had happened. "There is no breath of the same kind, could it be that the humans in the town killed it? It is impossible, if you have the strength to deal with the demons in the first place, you will not issue a commission. ”
"What the hell is going on, there is one less. Could it be that the demons are killing each other?" she gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and slammed into the town, "Since you can't figure it out, let's go to the scene and see what is going on......
"There's only one ...... left" Isu has entered the town, and quickly rushes towards the perceived demon with a speed that ordinary people can't catch. The road became more and more remote, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, and gradually all that was left was dilapidated houses and barren meadows.
"Even the last one is gone...... Izu's sword in hand, probably because of the scarcity of people, the grass in the weeds completely overshadowed her silver boots. She frowned, wary.
Is this a trap that deliberately lures me to this desolate place?
Isu looked around, but only the cool wind of autumn blew the grass into a hunting sound, and there was nothing else unusual.
It's really impossible, as far as ordinary demons are concerned, not to mention that the leaders without the Awakened will definitely not have the idea of joining forces to deal with the big sword, that is, even hiding their own demonic energy should be a problem.
So what's going on...... Izu stood in the middle of the grass and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Rustling......" "Whispering—" A sound came from the grass in the distance, and Izu clenched his big sword.
What gradually appeared in Izu's field of vision was a person who was hidden in a black hooded cloak, walking in the direction of Isu step by step.
This was Ysu's first feeling. Is it an ordinary person?
The visitor stopped two paces away from Ysso, seemingly curious about her.
No, this person! Izu's brow tightened. She stared at the people who were walking towards her step by step, and suddenly swung the big sword in her hand.
It was a knee-jerk reaction to a potential danger in one's heart!
There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the sword in Isu's hand was inexplicably swept aside, but there was no movement from the person under the cloak.
"Huh?!" Isu let out a soft thud, and the sword in his hand was swung faster and faster, and the force continued to increase. Little by little, the black pupils were replaced by silver...... However, Izu's sword was always bounced off by something when it was some distance away from her, and only the constant sound of "dang" and "dang" echoed between the two of them, blowing all the grass around them into a lodging momentum.
"It's rude. ”
With a "bang", the big sword in Isu's hand was shocked and flew out. The great sword that came out of his hand swirled in the air, and was slanted into the grass not far away, and was pulled out by the setting sun to create a long black shadow, covering the grass.
The person hidden in the cloak was still only two steps away from Yzu, and she seemed to hesitate a little, but finally took a step and walked straight behind after bypassing Ysu without the slightest intention of stopping.
"Aren't you going to explain something to me?
"No.2, high-speed sword Inriri!" Isu's voice was a little bit of hidden excitement.
"Hey. She stopped and let out a soft sigh.
"You're still recognized......
(PS: Liuliu thinks it's more appropriate to be No.2 here, after all, Sister Yi's downgrade was when she was on the mission of purging Dinisha, and although she survived by luck, she has hidden her whereabouts since then.) It was impossible for the organization to explain anything to the protagonist, who was just a trainee at the time. )
