Chapter 6 The Inheritance of Symbols
"When I was eight years old, the demons that appeared in the village ate my dad and mom. The greatsword slew the demon the moment it was ready to strike at me. So I survived by luck, but I lost all my relatives. β
Innelli just listened quietly, and every little girl who was brought back to the organization had more or less the same experience, as well as different degrees of hatred for demons.
"When I was most frightened and helpless, huddled alone in a dark corner, it was she who burst into my house and hugged me tightly, comforted me, and told me that she would always be with me. β
I don't know how long it was, but we just hugged each other and slept against the wall. However, when I woke up, I was already locked in a hut, and a man in black came in and asked if I wanted to be a warrior who could slay demons, and at that moment my mind was full of scenes of my parents being eaten by demons, so I agreed to him. At the same time, "being able to see her again" became the belief that supported me to survive. β
"With that belief, I managed to survive the training that cost me several lives each time as a trainee, and eventually I succeeded in becoming a warrior and successfully gaining jurisdiction over this area because I hid some of my strength. β
"It's ridiculous that this is obviously not a dangerous area, but there have been a lot of tasks in the past few years. There are basically no days off, and because of this, I don't have time to go to the village to look for her. β
"However, 10 days ago, in the westernmost part of District 16, I received a commission from Jasmine Village. That village is where my heart and soul are, and where the people I want to see live the most. I wanted to leave immediately, but I was told that I needed to kill all the demons in my path, and the villages along the way issued a commission. By the time I arrived at Jasmine Village, a small village in the eastern part of District 16, it was already nine days later. β
Izuku sighed, the gloom in her eyes getting heavier and heavier.
"While I was still outside the village, I zeroed in on the location of the demon in the village, and the demon was coming towards the entrance of the village. Maybe I wanted to escape from the village, I thought at the time. However, why is it her? Step by step, she walked towards the entrance of the village, showed me the brightest smile, and waved my name very affectionately. β
"I knew there was absolutely nothing wrong with my perception. In the end, I had no choice but to ...... I had to kill her with my own hands, no, it's a demon!" Isu's eyes suddenly turned into golden vertical pupils, and a huge amount of demonic energy emanated from her body and outside, and the already dilapidated wall instantly turned into countless small pieces of rubble.
"Calm me down. Ineri pressed Isu to the grass with one hand, and when she was pressed down, the demonic energy had already dissipated, and she was restrained in her body again.
"Fortunately, the ghoul beast has long since gone away, just now, as long as you can sense demonic energy, you can find you casually. But there was not the slightest hint of reproach in her tone. Inele picked up Azue and took her into her arms. The two of them did not speak for a moment.
"It's like this. Please hold me a little longer. Izuy said weakly with her head resting on Innelli's shoulders and her hands around Innili's waist.
This is most likely the work of the organization, otherwise how could it be so coincidental. I don't know exactly how it was done, though.
"It's all gone. Inelli stroked Azu's head and comforted her softly.
"Now that the demons along the way have been dealt with, you should take a break for a while recently. My secluded cottage happens to be not far away, so come and stay with me for a while. β
"Don't worry about organized warriors coming to you, with your ability, you should be able to avoid them completely, right?"
"Nope. There was one more person who was able to find me. Izu's mood recovered somewhat.
"Oh?"
"Yaya, she has a strong demonic energy perception ability. β
"Is it the imp that Denisha led in the first place? Innelli looked unsurprised.
"You...... Are you still going back to the organization?" Inelli looked directly at Azu's ink pupils.
"Yes. I'm not ready to leave the organization yet."
Do you want to go back to the organization. You're still that naΓ―ve little ghost. But in that case,
"Let's go, I'll teach you my high-speed sword in the meantime. Just let me be a qualified teacher. Innelli smiled lightly, like an elf from the earth.
"Isn't that your famous skill, how can I learn it casually!"
"If you don't approve of that month, then take this one!" Innelli held her broadsword in front of her, and the sword was carved into the shape of a cross made up of two lines of different lengths.
"Our symbol...... Is it the same?" Izu's sword rested on Innelli's sword, and the symbols on it were indeed the same as those on Innelli's sword.
"That's right. "It seems that a symbol only represents a fighter and is only an organization to bluff, not necessarily, it should be like this for active soldiers.
"Since you have been given a symbol that originally belonged to me, then you should also inherit the high-speed sword that belongs to this symbol. β
"And you're the only proof that I've ever existed!"
"I see. Isu bowed solemnly to Inriri.
"No matter what, you must live!" "One day, you will be proof of yourself, and you don't need me to prove your existence.
"If you don't say I'll do it, I'll do it too. It's you, but don't die. Innelli smiled, and the two of them, who had night vision, walked forward in the darkness one after the other.
Isu, you must live well, and you are the only one of all the warriors who can "live as a person". In addition, if you want to protect everything you love and you want to protect, you have to be strong. So you can't fail to learn high-speed swords. I will entrust you with not only everything about the high-speed sword, but also my will!
I'm a laid-back divider, woa, babble, oh*************************
Time flies. Half a month later.
In front of a small wooden house, two people stood opposite each other, obviously there was no movement in their hands, but there was a "sonorous" sound of metal colliding in the air from time to time, and grass clippings flew around them.
"Ding!" there was a loud bang, and a sword swung into the surrounding grass. Izuku let out a breath of turbidity and sat down.
"Lost again......"
"Don't be stupid, it's already good to be able to do this in half a month. Inelli withdrew her greatsword and sat down next to Isu.
"It seems that the time of separation is coming. Inri patted Azu's head.
"Why do you say such things all of a sudden?"
"I almost forgot that your demonic perception is very poor. Ineri laughed. "There is a powerful demonic aura that has been moving in this direction, and with her footsteps in the past few days, it is estimated that she will be able to reach Rogue Town this evening. What are you going to do?"
"Then I'll take the initiative to go out, I'm not going to leave the organization for the time being. Besides, this is your place of seclusion, and I don't want any active soldiers to come to you and cause you trouble. Izuku moved his muscles, put on his warrior gear, and drew his great sword stuck in the ground.
"Indeed, I am now the target of the Order's purge. Inili shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "What you've been practicing for the past half a month is just how to use the sword extremely quickly, and the real high-speed sword is to use these skills while completely liberating the one-armed demonic power." Because I can't expose myself yet, I can't unleash my demonic power to use the real high-speed sword to show you, but with your understanding, as long as you can find the critical point of one arm, you can probably use this high-speed sword. β
"In addition, I have another piece of advice, I think that the demonic power you liberated should have exceeded twenty percent that day, have you just reached the state of golden eyes...... This advice is to try not to unleash more than fifty percent of the demonic power. β
"If you don't say this, I'm doing it. I do take this aspect very carefully. β
"Now, here's for you. Isu pulled a bottle out of her bosom and threw it to Innelli, who took it into her hand.
"Oh, is it a medicine to eliminate demonic energy?"
"Yes, I guess that would be more useful to you than to me. Although you have hidden your demonic powers, your eyes are still silver. β
"It's still you little devil who thinks thoughtfully. β
"Goodbye then. Ineri. I'll come to see you again in the future, it's our second agreement!"
No one is allowed to die until the promise is fulfilled!
