# Chapter 1456: The Claymore Organization's Trump Card! (Two-in-One)

【Boom!】

A loud bang came from the west of the Claymore Organization Headquarters.

A blonde Claymore warrior wearing silver armor and a cape stood before the barrier of the Four Violet Flames Formation. She threw the iron sword in her hand, stained with violet fire, onto the ground, letting it turn to ash under everyone's gaze.

Then she softly said:

"There's nothing we can do. This barrier is very sturdy, and if you touch it, you get burned by this strange flame."

"What do we do then? Aren't you the strongest No. 1 warriors of past generations? Think of a method!"

A high-ranking official shrouded in a black robe among the crowd behind the Claymore warrior shouted.

There were quite a few of them.

They consisted of five organization high-ranking officials, including Leader Rimuto, fifty to sixty men in black from the intelligence, logistics, and guard departments, and three Claymore warriors.

However, a charred corpse lay on the ground.

That's right, Rimuto and the others wanted to run.

But among the Claymore warriors, they only brought the current No. 10, Raftela, and the three former No. 1 Claymore warriors whom Dae had resurrected using one of Priscilla's arms.

Namely, 'Flowing Beauty' Historia, 'Love-Hate' Roxanne, and 'Dust Eater' Cassandra.

According to Dae, their strength was even greater than when they were alive!

(Historia)

(Roxanne)

(Cassandra)

As for Raftela, it was because she possessed the ability to remotely interfere with other Claymore warriors using Yoki.

She could be said to be a counter to all Claymore warriors.

Therefore, she had always been regarded as a trump card by the organization high-ranking officials and was specially exempted from overseas missions, living a peaceful life guarding the headquarters year-round.

In the eyes of Leader Rimuto and the other high-ranking officials, these four were enough to rival hundreds of Claymore warriors.

The only problem was that among the three resurrected No. 1s, aside from Roxanne, Cassandra and Historia had severe memory loss, not even remembering their own names.

Fortunately, they still remembered they were Claymore warriors of the organization and would instinctively obey the orders of these high-ranking officials.

The person who had just borrowed a long saber from a man in black to attempt an attack on the barrier was Roxanne, whose memory was intact.

When they first arrived here, they ordered a guard soldier to slash at the barrier.

The result was that both the person and the saber were instantly engulfed by the violet fire, turning into a charred corpse in the blink of an eye.

But there was nothing they could do; if they wanted to leave, they had to break through the barrier before them.

So, they could only bite the bullet and order Roxanne to use another black-clad soldier's saber to attack.

After all, Claymores were quite rare weapons, and the organization always sent people to bring them from their native country, so it was best to avoid getting them burned.

However, facing the high-ranking official's urging, Roxanne smiled:

"The most troublesome thing about this barrier is that the violet fire will destroy weapons, so I want to try using a Claymore."

Saying that, she didn't wait for the other party's agreement, gripped the sword hilt on her back, and took it down.

She was also very curious about this Four Violet Flames Formation now and wanted to see if it was truly indestructible.

"You..."

Leader Rimuto raised his hand to stop the high-ranking official from speaking, then said to Roxanne in a deep voice, "Be careful!"

In this situation, whether it was life or the sword, his choice was decisive.

Besides, they hadn't even brought the Dragon Descendant living body from the headquarters; what was one Claymore?

There was nothing they could do; the Dragon Descendant's body size was too large, nearly three meters tall, making it impossible to take away.

Moreover, even if they could take it, they couldn't, as it would drag down the entire team's speed.

"Okay."

Roxanne was very happy with Rimuto's attitude and thought inwardly, "As expected of the leader, very smart."

Then she turned her graceful body, and her eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils.

She had released 10% of the Yoki within her body.

The next second.

The Claymore in Roxanne's hand turned into a gorgeous-looking sword light and struck towards the barrier.

This was the swordsmanship of Elizabeth, the organization's No. 5 warrior during her and Cassandra's era.

Roxanne also possessed the talent for Yoki Synchronization and Yoki Sensing.

But she was an attack type and couldn't use Yoki Synchronization for treatment on others. However, she had the ability to learn others' sword skills with high efficiency and to make specific targets completely unable to sense her Yoki.

Learning others' sword skills was somewhat similar to the Sharingan's copying eye ability.

However, the efficiency was not as high as the Sharingan; Roxanne needed a period of time for observation and practice.

Right, compared to the Sharingan, calling her a female version of Murong Fu is more appropriate, a Shifting Stars exclusive to swordsmanship.

It's just that Roxanne's personality was more vicious; she liked to make friends with the learning target first, and after learning their swordsmanship, she would kill them.

For example, Cassandra died by her hand...

【Clang clang clang!】

She swung three swords consecutively within one second, almost all hitting the same point.

The burning effect of the Four Violet Flames Formation was naturally triggered, and violet flames erupted from the tip of the Claymore.

But Roxanne noticed that this time, the speed at which it spread upwards was very slow.

Slow enough for her to carefully observe its flickering appearance.

And finally, under her joyful gaze, it automatically extinguished, leaving only a slight black mark on the tip.

This Claymore could resist the burning of the violet fire!

As expected of the most trustworthy partner of them, the Claymore warriors!

"Great!"

This scene was also seen by Rimuto and the others behind them, and they immediately burst out with joyful cheers of surprise.

Raftela, Cassandra, and Historia gently touched the sword hilts on their backs.

"Since that's the case, the three of you make a move together and break this barrier as quickly as possible!"

Leader Rimuto immediately gave them the order.

"Yes."

"Okay."

Cassandra and Historia agreed.

But just as they were about to step next to Roxanne.

They subconsciously turned around in vigilance due to the commotion coming from behind.

Raftela and Roxanne did the same, looking solemnly towards the blue electric light at the end of their line of sight.

"The enemy is chasing us?!"

Rimuto and the others became nervous seeing the four women's reaction.

"Yes." Raftela nodded.

"Cassandra, Historia, you go stop them. Roxanne, Raftela, you break through the barrier as quickly as possible!"

Leader Rimuto made a decisive decision.

The four women naturally had no opinion; they had long been accustomed to obeying orders.

Cassandra and Historia immediately turned into afterimages and met the approaching electric light.

Especially Historia, whose nickname was 'Flowing Beauty' and who shared the same name as the Heavenly Empress.

She immediately displayed a speed several times faster than Cassandra's.

In the blink of an eye, she left her behind.

However, Cassandra had no reaction to this; every warrior had their own strengths and style.

Comparing one's weaknesses to the opponent's strengths and sulking about it was foolish behavior.

"Meeting in battle alone?"

"Good courage, and the speed is not bad, but it's still too slow!"

Under the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Little A, whose entire body was coated in blue electric light and chakra aura, looked at Historia charging over and commented with a smile.

"So strong!"

Historia also felt Little A's powerful aura.

She didn't hesitate at all and directly released 30% of her Yoki.

This not only turned her eyes into golden vertical pupils, but her originally beautiful face also became ferocious.

But such a price was exchanged for even greater strength and an even more exaggerated movement speed!

Historia completely turned into a blurry afterimage.

【Clang——————】

The silver-white sword light, swift as the wind, collided with the flashing electric light and the pitch-black fist.

There was no accident in the result; Historia was sent flying backwards.

In the competition of strength, she was defeated cleanly and decisively.

Fortunately, Historia flipped several times consecutively in the air, timely dissipating the force on her body.

At the same time, she burst out Yoki to push away the current spreading on her body.

Only then did she recover her balance and stand firm, and also waited for Cassandra, who had arrived.

Cassandra: "How is it?"

"Very strong, speed and strength are both above mine. Those lightning bolts are real and very dangerous, but they can be offset by bursting out Yoki!"

Historia immediately shared the obtained intelligence in a rapid pace of speech.

She had already realized that she couldn't defeat this opponent by herself alone.

Cassandra immediately understood.

'Above mine' in her words referred to her at 30% Yoki release, and she was also telling herself that it was best to immediately release her Yoki to over 30%.

【Boom!】【Boom!】

Historia and Cassandra didn't hesitate at all and immediately mobilized the Yoki within their bodies, releasing it to form violently gushing invisible aura on their bodies.

At the same time, their bodies also underwent very obvious mutations under the influence of the large amount of Yoki.

Their beautiful faces became more like demons, their legs became no different from monsters, their arms became thicker, and veins crisscrossed on the surface.

Because this was 50% Yoki!

If they released their Yoki to 80%, they would completely lose control and awaken.

Little A on the opposite side also felt the two's exploding aura.

"Between senior colonel and colonel rank..."

He felt he could be a little more serious now.

The next moment.

The three of them almost simultaneously made a move.

Little A once again turned into an electric flash, Historia was like an arrow shot from a bow, while Cassandra crawled windingly on the ground like a serpent.

This was why her nickname was 'Dust Eater'.

Cassandra's swordsmanship relied on the centrifugal force generated by shaking her head close to the ground to lower her posture.

Like eating soil and being obsessed with sand and dust, she approached the target from below.

While it was difficult to hit such a bizarre movement method, she would directly slash and injure their legs to cripple their movement ability.

Finally, she would deliver the killing blow to finish them.

This combat style always left her covered in sludge, her appearance disheveled, drawing disgust and glances of disdain from many warriors at that time.

And she herself was ashamed to be seen, so she always acted alone.

But she had to admit, Cassandra's "Dust Eater Sword" was very strong and successfully reached No. 1 of that era.

Thus.

Historia and Cassandra, one above and one below, flanked the equally young Little A from two directions.

However, Little A did not dodge or evade.

He gripped Historia's Claymore with his right hand, which was covered in Armament Haki, and at the same time, forcibly hugged her waist and abdomen with his thick left arm.

Then, his charging figure sharply turned downwards and violently slammed her towards Cassandra below.

"Lightning Release: Exploding Bomb!!!"

Little A let out a roar.

At this moment, both Historia and Cassandra were stunned.

【Boom——————】

Earth-shattering thunder and explosion resounded throughout the entire area, simultaneously shattering a large area of the solid ground.

"Don't die..." Little A thought inwardly.

To be honest, he indeed didn't deliver a killing blow.

Otherwise, what he would be using now would be "Lariat", "Lightning Release: Horizontal Chop", "Lightning Release: Horizontal Chop of a Thousand Years Dance", or perhaps "Guillotine Drop", "Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite".

Compared to those, this "Lightning Release: Exploding Bomb" was considered gentle.

"Huh?!"

But when the attack ended, Little A noticed the abnormality of the woman's body in his arms and immediately let go, retreating ten meters away.

In the severely damaged pit, Historia and Cassandra, whose heads were bleeding profusely, suddenly burst out with an air current even more immense than before.

Little A knew that was Yoki.

But he was more concerned about the two's constantly expanding and mutating bodies.

"Directly forced out awakening?"

Little A's face was full of helplessness. It was just "Lightning Release: Exploding Bomb"; was it necessary to be so crazy as to stop being human?

But how could he know that if Historia and Cassandra hadn't timely released all their Yoki to protect their bodies, they would have died again and returned to the Netherworld by now.

In the blink of an eye.

Two big monsters, seven to eight meters tall, appeared before Little A.

(Cassandra Awakened Form)

(Historia Awakened Form/No Sword)

"Eh————"

Little A helplessly shook his head, but a cold killing intent was revealed in his eyes:

"Do you know? If you hadn't awakened, then I wouldn't kill people. But awakened beings, according to the mission requirement, can be killed!"

Although Historia and Cassandra's aura had become even stronger at this moment.

It even made him feel that it had exceeded the officer rank combatants level.

But Little A didn't care about this at all.

He even felt a bit of joy for it; he liked to combat strong enemies.

"You are lying."

"The previous attack was enough to take our lives!" Cassandra retorted.

Historia agreed: "That's right, we were forced to awaken, but this feeling is not bad; I had never tried it before..."

Little A's expression froze, and he was speechless, then said angrily: "It's clearly because you are too weak!"

"What about now?!"

Historia roared angrily.

Sharp tentacles beneath her body jumped like springs, instantly leaping to high altitude.

At the same time, they overwhelmingly shot towards Little A's location.

In an instant, sharp whistling sounds were incessant.

On the other side.

Cassandra's awakened form also extended three heads and bit towards Little A.

It was simply like a massive three-headed giant snake.

It's just that its appearance was not scary; instead, it was very seductive.

【Crackle!】

Little A instantly turned into lightning and disappeared from the original spot, allowing countless tentacles to bombard the empty ground.

He himself had already appeared above Historia's head, who was still in mid-air.

When she subconsciously looked up, Little A was raising his thick right leg.

"Guillotine Drop!"

【Boom——————】

The moment Little A descended, it could be called the descent of heavenly thunder, striking directly on the spot on Historia's head and smashing her back down to the ground alive.

The huge impact force directly shattered the earth, which was already a mess.

Even Roxanne, Raftela, and the organization high-ranking officials like Rimuto in the distance, who were currently trying to attack, couldn't help but look back.

"They have awakened, but they are still at a disadvantage..." Raftela said softly.

Rimuto and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"How is this possible? Dae said that once Historia, Cassandra, and Roxanne awaken, their strength will definitely be able to rival Abyssal Ones!"

"But the enemy's aura strength is no less than the current Historia and Cassandra..."

Although Little A had no Yoki, Raftela could still feel his basic life aura at medium to short range.

"But that's two against one!" A high-ranking official shouted: "How could they be at a disadvantage?"

Raftela did not answer him. A few seconds later, she said again:

"Historia's aura has become weaker again. The opponent is very strong."

"Judging from the awakened form's self-healing ability, they should still be able to hold on for a period of time."

For a moment, the entire area was in dead silence, and an invisible huge pressure enveloped everyone's hearts.

"Roxanne, continue to attack, break open this damned barrier as quickly as possible!"

Leader Rimuto urged anxiously.

"No, I think we should go back and help Historia and Cassandra."

Unexpectedly, Roxanne retracted her Claymore, whose tip had turned black by several centimeters, and shook her head, refusing.

"Since two people are at a disadvantage, then perhaps three people can resist."

"Otherwise, once they are killed, when the enemy catches up, we will have no room for resistance."

Leader Rimuto fell into deep thought after hearing this.

But the other high-ranking officials had already lost their rationality under the threat of death.

"Roxanne, this is the leader's order, you dare disobey?"

"Immediately, right now, continue to attack the barrier, break it open!"

Facing these accusations, Roxanne sneered:

"I was a bit confused just after being resurrected, so I followed you."

"Now I roughly understand the situation. The organization is doomed."

"Then why shouldn't I join them? Anyway, I have already died in battle for the organization once, and I don't owe you anything anymore!"

Hearing this, Leader Rimuto frowned and shouted: "Raftela, control Roxanne!"

Raftela heard the order and walked expressionlessly to face Roxanne.

"You should just obey. I don't want to make a move on a partner."

"Heh——, just you?"

Roxanne laughed out loud and teased: "A No. 10?"

Then she released 10% of her Yoki, her eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils, and she used terrifying aura to press towards Raftela.

"It seems you lack basic awe towards a No. 1..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Roxanne was about to swing her blade and attack, but found that her own body couldn't move, and even her Yoki had lost control.

"What?!"

Roxanne was extremely shocked, her eyes trembled violently.

Leader Rimuto smiled: "Raftela's Yoki Synchronization talent is the strongest in history; no Claymore warrior can resist her, so you should just honestly obey orders."

Raftela's Yoki Synchronization could penetrate the spirit of other targets with Yoki, achieve sensory dominance, influence actions, disturb emotions, and control the opponent's Yoki.

In short, she could do everything that Yoki Synchronization could do, and she was even stronger than others!

This was the biggest reason why she was regarded as the 'Trump Card' by the Claymore Organization...

Starting from the 28th, there will be a double Monthly Pass event! That is to say, after midnight, everyone can give Monthly Passes!
