Chapter 1477
Chapter 1446: Mind Transfer Technique and Dangerous Yoki! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader oOIWindIOo)
[Swish swish swish]
Amidst urgent whistling sounds.
Rachel, leading the charge, rushed straight towards Riful, stepping on metal ribbons.
She didn't need to worry about the incoming attacks at all, because Audrey behind her would slice through everything for her.
"Haaah—"
Rachel pushed off with her feet, leaping above Riful's head, gripping her sword hilt with both hands, adopting a downward slash posture.
Riful scoffed, "What an idiot. Your sword can't cut me if it hasn't been subjected to pressure."
"You're the idiot!" Rachel's eyes held a playful look.
Riful's expression changed to astonishment.
Only then did she see Audrey behind Rachel, pressing her own sword against the latter's sword edge, allowing her to charge power.
This scene not only surprised Lucia but also left Aburame Shikuro, Yamanaka Hiromi, and Hyuga Junpei, who were watching from afar, dumbfounded.
Is this reasonable?
But reasonable or not, Rachel and Audrey completed this action in mid-air.
[Boom!]
With killing intent erupting in the corner of her eye, Rachel fiercely slashed forward with her 'Hard Sword'.
At the same time, she roared, "This is the strength of the 'Present'!"
In an instant, the surging wind, wrapped around the sword light that had turned into an afterimage, ruthlessly slashed down along Riful's right shoulder.
Creak, creak.
A teeth-grinding sound echoed in the area.
It was the sound of metal cutting through another metal.
Rachel succeeded. Her 'Hard Sword' had cut open Riful's arm and chest.
This filled her face with a smile of joy and pride.
At the same time.
Aburame Shikuro and the other two were feeling uneasy. They were really afraid that Riful would be killed right before their eyes.
If that happened, they truly didn't know how they would go back and report.
Knowing that the Level 1 Target must be captured alive, yet watching her die in front of them?
"Captain, shouldn't we make a move?" Yamanaka Hiromi asked worriedly.
"Mm."
Aburame Shikuro was also conflicted.
Rationality told him that if Natsuhoshi was right and Riful's life aura was stronger than his own, she shouldn't be defeated so easily.
Or rather, if he were in Riful's position.
It was truly hard to imagine what kind of threat Rachel and Audrey's performance so far could pose to him.
But Riful's body in front of them was indeed cut open with a large gash.
"Let's wait and see," Aburame Shikuro gritted his teeth and decided to hold back.
But Riful's reaction next made him doubt if he had made a mistake.
"What... how could this be... how could this happen..."
Riful's voice trembled, and her expression was panicked. Anyone watching would think she was truly scared.
"I'm really sorry, but while you were sleeping in the Abyss, this world has progressed too much!"
Rachel said with a smug smile.
She felt that today would likely be the day she killed the first Abyssal One.
Her rank would definitely soar after going back. She figured she would be either No. 1 or No. 2.
"Stop!"
"One more attack, and I..." Riful began to beg for mercy.
But Rachel showed no sign of softening her heart. Standing in front of her opponent, she raised her silver sword again.
"Sorry, this strike will finish you off!" Saying this, her sword edge turned into an afterimage and swung towards Riful's head.
"Captain?!"
On the other side, Yamanaka Hiromi shouted through Mental Shout.
"Stop her!" Aburame Shikuro yelled.
"Mind Transfer Technique!"
Yamanaka Hiromi had already made the Hand Seal, aiming at Rachel in front of him.
The next second, his mental consciousness instantly shot into Rachel's back in a straight line.
However, Rachel had already made the sword swing motion, and under the effect of inertia, she still cut towards Riful's head.
Fortunately, with a loud noise of 'clang', it seemed to have caused no damage to her.
This made Yamanaka Hiromi, who had already taken over Rachel's body, breathe a sigh of relief.
That's right, this sword strike of hers hadn't been charged with pressure, so it naturally didn't possess the power of the 'Hard Sword'. They had been too hasty...
"Please stop!"
"If I take another powerful attack like the one just now, I will..."
Riful was still begging for mercy.
However, Yamanaka Hiromi, who had regained calmness and was now close enough to clearly hear her tone, suddenly felt that something was off.
But this didn't prevent him from controlling Rachel's body to pull back and create distance.
Audrey behind him was a bit astonished, as this reaction wasn't like her usual personality.
But she still retreated with her, landing on the pitted ground.
"Giving up?"
"Very smart. I've seen this technique of yours twice already."
Riful looked at the two indifferently, "And it has many flaws. Not only does charging take time, but the sword's trajectory is also easily seen through. It can only be used when the opponent is unprepared."
She paused after speaking, then continued, "I want to see more techniques. You should have other techniques, right?"
"Like that kind of very powerful technique that can defeat me with just one more strike..."
After hearing this, let alone Yamanaka Hiromi, even Audrey realized something was wrong.
Riful's attitude didn't seem genuinely scared!
In the distance.
Aburame Shikuro and Hyuga Junpei, who was supporting Yamanaka Hiromi's body, had a black line across their faces.
Could it be that she's...
"Oh?"
"Could it be that you guys are out of techniques?"
Riful asked with apparent astonishment.
It's confirmed!
This bastard was acting the whole time, playing everyone present!
"Rachel!"
Audrey was a bit angry and shouted at her companion in front.
She wanted to rush up and try again, believing the other party would understand her idea.
But who knew that Rachel not only remained motionless this time but also said without turning her head, "The strength difference is too great, let's retreat!"
This left Audrey and the two low-ranked Claymore warriors watching from not far away with question marks all over their heads.
That's not right, this isn't Rachel's personality.
But Yamanaka Hiromi inside Rachel's body also had unspeakable difficulties.
He believed that with Audrey and Rachel's rapport, if they teamed up and started combat, he would be suspected.
Moreover, he couldn't use the 'Hard Sword' at all.
Let alone coordinating with the other party in the air.
While proposing to retreat would also give a strange feeling, the situation was indeed like this.
Compared to rushing up to fight, it was definitely much better.
The key was that their mission was to 'protect' Riful, so they needed to avoid exchanging blows with her as much as possible.
"You..."
Just as Audrey was about to question Rachel, a chill suddenly surged into her heart, making her body stiffen and tremble uncontrollably.
Because she felt Riful deliberately releasing more Yoki.
Audrey instantly understood that the Yoki they had sensed before was just the tip of the iceberg.
Or rather, Riful had deliberately created a portion of Yoki on her body surface that was comparable to that of an ordinary Awakened Being.
And within her body, she was hiding a vast amount of Yoki that was terrifying just to sense from a distance.
"Oh? You finally discovered it?"
"The children who fought me seven years ago understood quite quickly."
Riful no longer concealed her Yoki and mood.
"However... that was also because there were two warriors who were very good at reading Yoki back then!"
"Speaking of the difference between warrior types, it's about this big, right?"
At this moment, Yamanaka Hiromi inside Rachel's body also fell into conflict.
It wasn't that he couldn't move.
He just hadn't decided whether to leave by himself, take Audrey with him, or directly leave this body.
But when the whistling sound rang out.
Silver-gray metal ribbons rapidly attacked.
Yamanaka Hiromi instinctively made a choice.
He subconsciously dodged backward, blocking in front of Audrey, who hadn't recovered and was frozen in her original spot, and quickly swung his silver sword to block the attack.
Yamanaka Hiromi's starting point for doing this was twofold.
First, he felt that since he had already occupied Rachel's body, he should continue to infiltrate the organization by following the team.
Second, he still remembered Hyuga Junpei saying he wanted to learn Audrey's 'Soft Sword' technique.
After all, they were all ninja from Konohagakure.
The idea was good.
But with Yamanaka Hiromi's swordsmanship, he couldn't block Riful's attacks for long.
Of course.
Even if it were Rachel herself facing Riful using her full strength.
The result probably wouldn't be much better...
In the blink of an eye.
The deafening clanging sounds passed.
Rachel's body, controlled by Yamanaka Hiromi, was pierced in various places by hardened, sharp ribbons.
At the same time, Audrey behind him was also wrapped around her limbs and waist by the ribbons and lifted into mid-air.
This made Yamanaka Hiromi, who was enduring severe pain, cry out injustice in his heart.
Why the differential treatment?
From this, it could be seen that Riful placed more importance on Audrey with her 'Soft Sword'.
At this moment, the latter was already in tears, a physiological reaction to excessive fear.
Seeing this, Riful controlled a metal ribbon to gently wipe away her tears.
"You don't need to be so scared. It's precisely because I knew this would happen that I tried so hard to hide my Yoki..."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw liquid flowing from between Audrey's legs.
This made Riful look displeased, "Ugh, please don't dirty my body!"
She really didn't expect the No. 3 in front of her to be scared to the point of incontinence by her Yoki.
Today's Claymore warriors were too lacking in knowledge and courage.
Immediately, not wanting to waste any more time, Riful decided to get things done first.
That is, to make Audrey and Rachel Awakened Beings and become her subordinates.
This was also something she had been doing in recent years.
Expanding her military strength!
"I will gradually weaken your life. Choose when you like to awaken."
"Note, simply enduring will only lead to death."
"To be honest, I don't necessarily need you two, so I won't stop when you are on the verge of death..."
It must be said, Riful talked a lot.
She often suffered losses because of this, but this habit never changed.
Riful's Yoki began to surge into Audrey and Rachel's bodies through the ribbons.
This process was very brutal.
So brutal that the two immediately let out extremely tragic screams.
"Ugh!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Uwah, uwahhhhhh!"
Yamanaka Hiromi inside Rachel's body was in so much pain he was going crazy.
And this pain didn't just come from the body, but also from mental torment.
He only felt surging, brutal emotions impacting his consciousness like a wave.
This is Yoki?!
Yamanaka Hiromi finally realized how dangerous this energy was.
And it was indeed the fact.
Claymore warriors constantly fought against the negative emotions in the Yoki with their consciousness.
And when their will was defeated, they would turn into demons. This process was called 'Awakening', completely losing their human thought and body.
The reason Yamanaka Hiromi didn't feel it clearly when he occupied Rachel's body was because his mental power was already exceptionally strong, and the Yoki inside her body could hardly affect him.
But facing the Yoki infused by Riful, even a Yamanaka ninja skilled in Yin Release secret techniques found it difficult to bear.
"I can't take it anymore!"
Yamanaka Hiromi couldn't hold on. If he stayed in this body any longer, he would likely go completely mad very soon.
The next second.
Yamanaka Hiromi's consciousness returned to his own body, and he gasped for air, cold sweat visibly beading on his forehead.
However, Rachel's screams didn't stop because of this.
Only this time, she was personally enduring the inhuman suffering and torment.
Although Rachel was very confused right now, she didn't understand what had happened.
Because the moment the 'Mind Transfer Technique' hits the target, it forcefully suppresses the opponent's consciousness into deep sleep.
"Are you alright?"
Aburame Shikuro leaned close to Yamanaka Hiromi's ear and asked in a low voice.
Yamanaka Hiromi covered his forehead, "Not good, my head hurts a lot, I need a moment to recover..."
"Captain, look over there!"
At this moment, Hyuga Junpei reminded him in a hushed voice.
There was nothing he could do, in Yamanaka Hiromi's current state, he definitely couldn't use 'Sensing Sharing'.
Fortunately, Audrey and Rachel's wails were loud enough.
However, the moment Aburame Shikuro looked up, all sounds abruptly stopped.
Audrey and Rachel, who were in front of Riful, had vanished without a trace.
Judging from the scene of shattered metal ribbon fragments flying everywhere.
They must have been forcibly rescued by someone.
Even the two low-ranked Claymore warriors who were previously hiding and watching from afar were gone.
No.
Aburame Shikuro had already seen them.
As expected, it was Miria, Clare, Helen, and Deneve, who had finally arrived.
"Let... let go of me! Who are you?"
Audrey, who had come to her senses, angrily pushed away Helen, who was holding her.
"Idiot! Don't move!" Helen quickly stopped her.
But who knew someone walked over and kicked Audrey hard in the abdomen, causing her to fall into a coma on the spot.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"She's an injured person, can't you be gentler?"
Helen looked up in shock at Deneve, who was carrying a low-ranked Claymore warrior on one shoulder.
Deneve calmly said, "Knock her out, then give her a Yoki Suppressing Medicine. It's faster this way."
Not far away.
Miria was carrying Rachel, Clare was carrying another low-ranked Claymore warrior, and they stood with their swords facing the massive Riful.
"Who are you people?"
Riful scanned these four suddenly appearing black-clothed women.
"Claymores too? But your Yoki is practically non-existent..."
Only now that they were very close could she sense a little bit.
"Huh?"
"You... I think I've seen you somewhere..."
Riful suddenly felt that Clare's appearance was very familiar.
"Scatter!"
Just then, Miria gave the command.
[Swish swish swish swish!]
In the blink of an eye, the four turned into afterimages and disappeared into the forest in different directions, showing no intention of communicating with Riful at all.
"Hey, wait, wait for me!"
Seeing this scene, Riful became anxious. Her chosen prey had run away?
"Ah, really, running around everywhere..."
"Since that's the case, then I'll just..."
At this moment, Riful noticed that Clare had stayed behind and hadn't left.
"Oh? You haven't left yet?"
"I have something I want to ask you, Riful of the West," Clare said coldly, carrying the Claymore warrior.
