Chapter 17: Claire
Maybe it's because the white horse is really better than the dark horse at the beginning, or maybe it's because Izuku himself is anxious. The seventh district, which was supposed to take twenty-three days to arrive, had already arrived on the twentieth day.
The weather in the north is cold again, with short days and long nights. From time to time, the snowflakes fall mixed with fine crushed ice.
Every day is a little dark, and the sun doesn't warm up at all.
When I first walked, it was just a quarter of the horse's leg thick, and now it is half a horse's leg deep. The white horse struggled to run.
Silently, Isu rode past the town where there was a mayor named Uto.
As Lemoto said, the town was completely destroyed.
There is not a single intact house, not even the remnants of the walls to be seen. There were just messy rubble and countless blood stains.
This must have been done by someone sent by Isli, he ate the meal sent by the mayor with him, he can be the king of silver, strength is very important, but resourcefulness is also essential. So he knew that destroying the town would serve as the biggest warning to Izu.
Isu snorted and set off on his horse towards Pietta. Along the way, I turned past the cabin where I had been placed, and now it has become sawdust. There was also a man crushed under the pile of sawdust, his eyes fixed on Izu, as if he was wordlessly blaming Izu for why he wasn't there at the time, why he couldn't save the people in town.
"Drive!" Isu didn't want to look at it more, this man was the same stout man who had led him here with the mayor and brought him food the next day. Urging the horse to gallop, he tightened the leather cloak that another man had given him, as if he was feeling the last warmth that this town had brought him.
Perhaps, I will die in this mission, but I will also kill as many of the Awakened as I can. It is to avenge you and atone for your sins!
Isu strengthened her conviction and headed for Pieta.
The closer you get to Pieta, the more you can feel all kinds of demonic energy. After roughly calculating, there are twenty-two different demonic qi. It seems that this mission organization has really used a lot of money.
It's just that what puzzles Yi Su is that the strength of these demonic qi seems to be too much worse! There are two that stand out from the public, they are estimated to be fighters in the top ten rankings, and then there are a few very similar fighters who are estimated to be close to the top ten rankings, and then there are about twenty fighters in the ranking, but there are also many lower fighters in the ranks in their thirties and forties!
With such an uneven distribution of strength, can it even be said that a scattered team can really crusade against multiple awakened people? When performing tasks related to hunting awakened people, there are warriors ranked in the top ten and several warriors ranked before twenty-five, which means that many warriors ranked after twenty-five may not have experience in crusading against awakened people!
Not far away, there are two new demonic qi in the rear that have entered Isu's perception range, so it turns out that there are still warriors who haven't arrived?
After perceiving it carefully, Isu found that one of the two people's demonic aura was very familiar to him, and it was Jane's demonic aura. The other feeling was also a little familiar, mixed with the demonic aura of Inelli and Denissa, as well as her own unique demonic aura, and there was a sense of instability that was strong and weak. After a moment's thought, Izu guessed that the other person was the Claire mentioned by Inrily.
Rather than enter the mission site alone, Isu decided to wait for the two of them for a while.
After a while, two small figures appeared on the snowy field. And Jane apparently recognized Yso on horseback, and was dancing a little bit about something, but because of the distance and the heavy wind and snow, Yso didn't know what Jane was talking about.
By the time the two of them walked up to Izu, Izu had dismounted and leaned on his horse for a while.
Jane introduces them to each other, and the fighter who came with Jane has a standard bob head and Qi bangs, and she is indeed No.47 Claire as Isu guessed.
Surprised, the two of them pulled out their big sword behind their backs and slashed at Claire.
After the "ding", it was Jane who stopped Isu.
"Ys, what are you doing here?" Jen's tone was more reproachful than incomprehensible.
"If you want to hurt her, step over my corpse first!"
Isulio flicked away Jane's greatsword with all his might.
"It depends on whether you have that kind of ability. "Continue to rush towards Claire.
"You've inherited Innie's right arm, so don't hide under someone else's protection like a coward!"
Izu's sword reached the shocked Claire, who took it again in a dangerous and dangerous way.
"Jane, let me do it. Claire's face became solemn, her left hand pressed on Jane's shoulder, and her right hand was already holding the great sword.
"I'm not going to back down!" Claire could feel the pressure from Izu, so she was cautious, but she wouldn't back down.
"Very well, then I'll see if you have the qualifications to fight in her place! ”
Yzu's every word startled Claire. She sank and began to unleash the demonic power of her right arm.
Jane watched helplessly, now this is really not a battle situation that she can meddle in. It's not that the strength is not enough, but the matter surrounding the person in their mouths, the ranking of the high-speed sword is something she can't interfere with. Of course, if she could, she still hoped that the two of them would not make a move, and at the moment of the big war, no soldier could afford to lose if he was injured.
"Then you can learn Innelli's high-speed sword!" Claire shouted and attacked Azu.
What is invisible is the shadow of the sword, and what can be heard is the sonorous sound of collision.
Claire's high-speed sword was completely blocked by Ysso!
The expression on Claire's face was completely shocked! The high-speed sword can be said to be her strongest swordsmanship, that is, in the face of an awakened person like Duff, she has a certain amount of destructive power, and the warrior in front of her is not only unscathed but also completely blocked her own high-speed sword, more precisely, she blocked the high-speed sword with a high-speed sword!
"Who the hell are you!" Cleya's tone was a little panicked.
"It's good that you've gotten to this point in just one month. Izue didn't answer Claire's question, and took the sword back to herself.
"Let's go, stay here any longer, I'm afraid they're all ready to come to the door. "Isu can already feel that the strongest demon in Pieta is rushing towards this side at an extremely fast speed, and the speed is a little faster than herself, and the most likely person for Isu to guess that coming in this direction is Miria No.6 named [Phantom Miria].
"Wait, Ysso, what is your relationship with Inriri?"
"If I have to say it, it's probably a teacher and a parent. Entrusted by her, I will protect you as much as I can. ”
Izuku got on his horse and made a sign to Jen and Claire, who was still thinking, to get on the horse.
After the three men got on their horses, the white horse ran towards Pieta with some difficulty.
