After Claire received the request for help from her fellow swordsman who risked his life and came back to report, she came to the mountain range called Mount Zakru alone.
At the beginning, like Annie and the other three, she also encountered obstacles from demons forming an organization. However, after easily killing the demon minions that blocked her way, she finally succeeded in finding the four swordsmen. The demon lair that was defeated.
When she first entered, Claire thought it was just a powerful awakened person and some demons. But she didn't expect it until she broke into it and she was shocked to realize that the situation inside the cave was far worse than her. Is it even more complicated than you can imagine?
There, in addition to a very powerful and terrifying male Awakened One named 'Duff', there is also one of the three 'Abyssal Ones' on this continent, the 'Lif Road of the West'?
The so-called 'abyss' actually has something to do with the organization!
That's because the No. 1 Great Sword in the organization's history, the strongest awakened person who becomes the strongest warrior after awakening, is called the 'Abyss'!
In the long history, there have been three extremely bad situations where the No. 1 Great Sword awakened. Among them, there was one warrior from the male era and two warriors from the female era. They were hidden in the north, west and south of the continent, in order: Isli of the North (also known as the Silver King), Lifulu of the West, and Luciela of the South.
Of course, at the beginning, Claire did not know that the other party was the 'Abyss One' and the existence of the 'Western Leaf Road'.
She just met the powerful male awakener 'Duff' and was almost killed by him. But if she hadn't happened to meet Galadia, who was the No. 3 in the organization at the time, who came to pursue her, I'm afraid she would have died. He might have been easily ravaged, tortured and killed by that 'Duff'.
Fortunately, NO.3 Galadia arrived in time and rescued her from the Awakened One, and then joined forces with her to start a fierce battle with the terrifying and almost invulnerable male Awakened One.
But the result is still the same!
Even the No. 3 Galadiya was completely unable to effectively harm the terrifying male awakened person named 'Duff'. The strength of his body was far beyond their imagination.
And at that time, when the two of them were a little desperate, one of the three abyssal ones, Nishi no Lifulu, appeared, and her appearance almost instantly let the two of them know that failure was inevitable, because they It is impossible to defeat an opponent of that level.
But thankfully, that Lifulu didn't seem to want to take action against minions like them, and instead, she made a bet with Claire and Galadia?
then!
Seeing the certainty of what the other party said, Galadia and Claire made a plan, that is: while Galadia desperately tried to stop the male awakener, Claire broke into the depths of the lair alone, And successfully rescued No. 9 Jane, who had awakened but still retained human consciousness.
She used the new skills of demonic synchronization to help Jane regain her body, just like a bad little girl had done to her, but her method was more clever, not at all like a bad little girl. What the little girl did was so outrageous.
In the end, when Claire and No. 3 Galadia joined forces to attack to attract the attention of the 'Duff' awakener, the offensive great sword, ranked No. 9 in the organization, and titled the 'Spiral Sword' Jane used her unique skill Spiral Sword Stab, which was said to have the strongest destructive power among the great swords, and used her unique skill with the maximum number of rotations to defeat the terrifying and strong male awakened person 'Duff', leaving the three of them In one fell swoop, he won the bet with one of the three abyssalists, Nishino Lifulu.
Next!
Seeing the end of the bet, one of the three Abyssalists, Nishino Livuru, changed into his true form, transforming into the 'Abyss' in the image of a long-haired girl with a huge body and made of hard ribbon-like limbs. After answering Claire's question and explaining some of the reasons for the abnormal movement in the north, and trying to win over the three of them but failed, the other party wanted to leave with the 'Duff' who was severely injured by the three of them.
Otherwise!
at that time……
boom! boom!
Following the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground and a rumble that broke through the air, Claire, Jane, Galadia, and that West Leaf Road all saw in shock:
The two were wearing gorgeous golden-red full-body plate armor. They looked beautiful, heroic and sacred. Although they were women at first glance, their tall and majestic figures complemented the red tassel fully enclosed helmets. At the same time, each held a The two female knights, who also had giant swords with golden-red runes and gemstones on their handles, and exuded an unparalleled momentum and power, descended from the sky at the same time?
"!!"
"!?"
Seeing this, whether it was Jane, who was ranked No. 9 in the organization, or Galadia, who was ranked No. 3 in the organization, of course they all looked shocked and shocked, and then they all raised the big swords in their hands. And they took a defensive stance, fearing that someone coming would cause trouble for them.
"don’t worry!"
"They are not enemies!"
Fortunately, before the two of them could get suspicious and want to do something, Claire, who was equally surprised but didn't have much fear on her face, hurriedly reminded her.
"??"
"Do you know each other?"
"your friend?"
"Who are they?!"
Hearing this, Jane and Galadia asked in surprise.
"..."
Unfortunately, Claire remained silent and did not answer the two people's questions.
Thinking about it, she can't be allowed to say this: one of those two people is her partner and her best friend, Elena, who was originally ranked No. 46 in the organization, was the one who sent her the black letter, and should have been arrested. She was killed, but she is not dead now. She is still conspiring with her to overthrow the organization, right?
Furthermore, Claire remembered that the last time they were separated, the mysterious little girl Annie should have been the only one with Elena, but why were there two now?
Anyway, under the package of the 'Judgment' armor that is completely sealed and can block even the evil spirit, when the other person's face cannot be seen clearly, who is the other person? Is it a big sword or a sword? Who else she was, she had no way of knowing.
In any case, she, Claire, and Elena hadn't met each other for a long time. She remembered that the last time they met was in the city of Labona, the capital city.
"ah……"
"I was about to leave when I said..."
"Why are there two more interesting guys here?"
"Ai!"
"I originally agreed that I wouldn't take action today..."
At this time, he saw two female warriors wearing golden-red full-body plate armor, whose faces could not be seen clearly, walking towards him step by step. They also pulled out their giant swords and made it clear that they wanted to fight. Of course, West Leaf Road sighed with some resentment and helplessness.
"!!"
"careful!"
"She is Livuru Nishi, one of the three strongest Abyssalers in the world!"
"Don't go and die!"
Seeing Claire's lack of answer and seeing the two people's reckless and provocative behavior, Galadia hesitated for a while, then hurriedly shouted and reminded loudly.
You know, the three of them had just worked hard to defeat a mere subordinate of the other party, and if the other party had not promised not to take action, the three of them would have been dead by now!
Good thing now, before they could celebrate saving a small life, two more guys who overestimated their abilities came unexpectedly?
Although, she doesn't know the specific strength of those two people, but she is very sure that West Leaf Road cannot be defeated by just one or two people. At least in her impression of Galadia, there is no such person. !
"Death?"
After hearing Galadia's kind reminder, Ophelia, who was cooperating with Elena to attack the so-called West Leaf Road step by step, sneered angrily and retorted:
"snort!"
"You should take care of yourselves first!"
"If you don't want to die, get away!"
And her voice, which was somewhat dull due to the helmet, but also somewhat familiar, certainly succeeded in making Claire and Galadia frown.
"!!"
"!!"
After finishing speaking and reminding Claire, Galadia and Jane to retreat in time, Ophelia and the silent Elena jumped up together, each waving their hands. The rune giant sword slashed towards the body of Lifulu, who looked like a huge long-haired girl with a huge figure wrapped around hard ribbon-like limbs!
"Do you really want to fight?"
"All right!"
"Just let me see..."
"Are you the same as Duff, the kind of fun toys that can be manipulated by me and never break?"
For the two people who had already made the first move, the Abyss Master Livlu, the monster with a huge body and the shape of a huge long-haired girl whose whole body was made up of countless hard belt-like limbs, said "swish" twice. She used the thousands of hard strap-like limbs that made up her body to suddenly pull towards the two people from the side and behind.
"!!"
"!!"
Bang! Bang!
The two people who were in the air and caught off guard had immediately retracted their giant swords to use as shields for defense, but of course they were still whipped upside down by the huge force.
boom!
boom! !
Two more loud bangs!
Then, of course, the ruins of ancient buildings between the mountains and the broken eaves and broken walls instantly gave rise to two clouds of smoke after the masonry exploded, which lingered for a long time.
"..."
"..."
Fortunately, before Claire, Jane, and Galadia could scream in surprise, they all saw the two golden-red figures jumping back quickly, and each of them With one stroke of the sword, the hard band-like limbs that were still trying to be pulled towards them were instantly cut off.
"Huh?"
Seeing that the two of them seemed different from all the warriors he had ever encountered, the Abyssal One Livlu quickly became interested.
"interesting!"
"You guys seem to be more fun than Duff!"
"Very good!"
Immediately afterwards, while cheering, the thousands of hard strap-like limbs that made up her body began to wave and roll violently. The violent power caused the surrounding air and the hard strap-like limbs to gradually follow. It stirred and formed a huge whirlpool, and it was obvious that he was ready to take action against those two people.
"!!"
"not good!"
"Claire!"
"Jane!"
"Let's get away from here!!"
Seeing this, Galadia, who was ranked No. 3 in the organization, of course realized that something was wrong with the situation. So, not wanting to be in trouble, she quickly got away and flew back, and at the same time, she did not forget to remind Claire and Jane loudly.
"!!"
"hateful!"
Of course, Claire and Jane, who had just experienced a big battle and were almost beaten to death by the Dafu Awakener, did not dare to neglect.
Almost as soon as the strong wind and whirlpool rolled up, they, together with that Galadia, dragged their swords and flew away towards the distance as quickly as possible to avoid being accidentally involved in the terrible whirlpool. inside.
fortunately!
That Nishi no Lifulu promised not to do anything to them but actually did it. Those terrifying thousands of hard strap-like limbs actually let the three of them leave the scope of the whirlpool and allowed the three of them to run away far away. .
"..."
"..."
But at this time, after seeing the enemy's formation, Elena and Ophelia, who were already involved in the terrifying whirlpool, did not hesitate. They just clenched their weapons and made a decision immediately. Using what they considered to be their strongest moves, the moment the whirlpool rose, they all slashed towards the numerous belt-shaped bodies of the Abyssal One!
In an instant, countless limbs were cut off or thrown away by them, but at the same time, more were rolling towards them.
that's all!
As the vortex rolled up, as the smoke and sand were swept up into the sky, the battle between the two golden-armored female warriors against the abyssal Nishi no Lifulu took place in the Zaklu Mountains of an unknown era. Fighting broke out on the ruins of the town, and the smoke and dust that covered the sky completely blocked the prying eyes of everyone outside.
No one knows what's going on inside!
Anyway, like Galadia and Jane, Claire only heard the shouts belonging to Elena and another golden-armored warrior and some extremely fierce fighting collisions.
In addition to the occasional glimpse of the golden-red armor, and the shining and shocking sword lights they wielded their giant swords, the demonic power was turned into powerful shock waves towards the surroundings and even the whirlpool storm. They couldn't see anything except the shock outside!
"..."
Obviously, the Abyssal One Livlu is definitely not someone who is easy to deal with.
Not to mention anything else, just the countless tough strips that cover and make up the body, the monster that is like having countless arms and is so incredibly powerful that there is no weakness at all. It made Claire feel a wave of powerlessness welling up from the bottom of her heart just looking at it.
That gap...
In her opinion, it is as huge and despairing as the sky and the earth, the clouds and the mud, the sea and the mountain streams!
But……
It seems that such a powerful opponent only made Elena and the unknown warrior passive?
If it were Claire who went in person, even if she released her demonic power to 80%, even if she used the high-speed sword that she currently considers to be the strongest, she would not be able to survive in that terrifying whirlpool. Move, let alone fight the enemy as vigorously as Elena and the two of them do now.
"..."
"..."
Like Claire, Galadia and Jane, who had already hid in the distance, also stared with wide eyes at the huge and terrifying whirlpool in the distance and the golden-armored warrior who sometimes disappeared inside the whirlpool.
They saw that as time went by, the fighting became more intense.
In the whirlpool, flames and lightning began to intertwine, and the air was filled with the aura of the tyrannical demon power, which belonged to the West of the Abyss, Liv Road.
However, even though Lifulu's demon power became more and more terrifying, the two golden-armored warriors in the whirlpool did not weaken their attack. Every time their giant swords collided, they would cause earth-shattering roars, and the frequency was very high. It was still the same as before, and the sound of the two sides fighting made the land around them tremble violently, which was three to four hundred meters away.
That kind of power, that kind of movement, that kind of level of fighting was obviously far beyond the understanding of warriors like them as an organization. It made them discover for the first time that there was such a kind of fighting in this world. Horrible monster!
Of course, what surprised them even more was: in this world, was there that kind of warrior who could fight against that terrifying monster and remain indecisive for a long time?
"!!"
"not good!"
However, at this moment, just as the battle was about to reach its climax, Claire screamed in surprise.
"Oops!"
Then, there was Galadia.
As the person with the most outstanding ability to sense demonic energy from a distance in the organization, she certainly understood what was going on in the vortex.
"??"
But Jane, No. 9, was a little confused and had to look at the two of them with doubtful eyes.
But soon, she knew what was happening.
because……
She saw that as the demonic power of the Western Leaf Road exploded, two golden-red figures were blasted out of the whirlpool with two huge collision sounds and were smashed into an ancient ancient creature one after another. In the ruins of the fortress, the ruins collapsed in an instant and buried them.
At the same time, it is not difficult to know from the way that the thousands of limbs on the West Leaf Road gradually stopped, that the winner has definitely been decided.
"You guys are having fun!"
"I made a decision!"
"Take you back with Duff!"
Then, Livlu's words confirmed the guesses of Claire, Galadia and Jane in the distance.
Because, until the Abyssist Livlu stopped the whirlpool and slowly moved towards where the two people were and were about to arrive, the two people overturned a huge stone slab in embarrassment and staggered while supporting each other. He climbed out and regained his defensive posture.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that their condition does not seem to be very good. There is a lot of blood on their bodies, and their momentum is not as good as before. They must not have benefited from Lifulu's hands!
"hateful!"
Seeing this and seeing Elena and the others defeated, Claire was shocked and angry. Then she couldn't help but hold the big sword in her hand tightly, and wanted to step forward to support them.
Even though she might not be able to withstand even one of Lifulu's limbs!
"Stop resisting."
"You have no chance..."
"?!"
Sudden!
Just as Livlu was smiling and preparing to catch the two of them with her thousands of strap-like limbs, she seemed to feel something, and then suddenly stared in a certain direction, and her original plan to capture the two of them also subconsciously stopped.
Immediately afterwards, even Claire, who was hundreds of meters away, saw that there seemed to be a trace of confusion and hesitation in the eyes of the huge Abyssal One?
finally!
She unexpectedly decided to temporarily let go of Elena and the two who were obviously defeated and had little ability to resist. She took only her subordinate Duff and jumped directly with those thousands of limbs, as if teleporting. And then the huge body really disappeared outside the clouds in an instant.
"..."
"Okay, so awesome!"
"You were able to escape unharmed after the battle with Lifulu, one of the Abyssal Ones. With that kind of strength, I'm afraid the organization's No. 1 is no more than that, right?"
Unexpectedly, the result was like this. Although she didn't know what happened just now, Galadia still exclaimed with emotion.
Obviously, she didn't know the reason why Nishi Lifulu escaped. She only saw the two mysterious female warriors wearing golden and red full-body plate armor who forced her to attack with all her strength and persisted for a long time. Although she couldn't It was a complete success, but that’s really amazing.
If there were a few more of those golden-armored warriors, I'm afraid that Lifulu might not be able to escape.
"..."
"..."
Neither Claire nor Jane spoke, they were equally shocked.
However, Jane was shocked because she had never thought that besides the organization, there were such powerful warriors who could fight demons and the Abyssal ones who were stronger than the Awakened ones without losing.
And Claire was shocked: she never expected Elena to grow so fast, even stronger and faster than her, a warrior who had obtained a high-speed sword and experienced several life-and-death battle tests during this period. ?
Although the other party was assisted by another golden-armored warrior whose face could not be seen, and they were fighting against Lifulu in a two-on-one situation, but even that was enough to make her feel incredible and shocked.
"whispering sound!"
"All right!"
"It seems the mission cannot be completed!"
Seeing that the two golden-armored warriors were so powerful, strong enough to confront Nishi no Lifulu head-on, and now seeing that although they were seriously injured, they had not completely lost their fighting power, and they were still heading towards The three of them, who were also seriously injured after the bloody battle with the Awakened One 'Duff', came over, and Galadia continued to say to Claire in a self-deprecating way:
"Number 47..."
"Originally, the organization asked me to take you back."
"You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die?"
Having said this, Galadia paused, then turned to look at the two mysterious golden-armored warriors in the distance who were still walking towards here step by step. It was obvious that they really knew Claire and were ready to come over to talk.
"But looking at the situation now, I can't complete the task."
"So!"
"Let's just say goodbye!"
"Be careful yourself. Although I don't know whether I will be an enemy or a friend next time I see you, don't die easily."
After saying that, before the two people came over, Galadia put away her big sword, then turned her head and walked away in a different direction when the two people came over, without any intention of following the two powerful ones. Guy contact means.
After all, it was hard for her to judge whether the other party was friend or foe. In addition, it was definitely not a soldier belonging to the organization, and he was mixed with the 'rebel' Claire. Just thinking about it, she knew it would be very troublesome. , she didn’t want to get involved easily.
"..."
Claire didn't say anything, just watched Galadia leave silently.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Then, before Elena and another guy she didn't know came over, she thought for a while, then looked at No. 9 Jane and asked strangely.
"You saved my life, so..."
"I have decided!"
"I will follow you unconditionally until I repay you a favor of equal value!"
After looking at Galadia's leaving figure, and then at the two golden-armored warriors walking towards this side step by step, No. 9 Jane said calmly.
"Yeah?"
"if……"
"I really betrayed the organization and planned to become an enemy of the organization. Do you want to follow me?"
After staring at the other party's silver eyes for a while, Claire suddenly asked jokingly.
"..."
Jane didn't answer.
She just looked at Claire with a calm and resolute face, without any intention of flinching.
"Yeah?"
"I see!"
"only……"
"Why don't you be too surprised later?"
Seeing the other party's insistence, Claire wanted to say something. However, when she thought about what she and Elena were going to do, and the oath and agreement she had made with Miria and the others, it seemed good to have one more companion. She nodded and said no more, just turned around and looked at the two people who were walking towards them step by step.
