# Chapter 1471: Airborne! Fierce Battle in the Four Palaces!
The Roman Empire Imperial Palace complex in this Claymore World is slightly different.
In the center is the Domitian Palace, which occupies the largest area and has the most complete palace complex structure.
To the East is the Diocletian Palace, primarily serving as the Imperial Family's mausoleum and internal temple, but also containing various palaces for residence.
To the South is the Severus Palace, close to the Appian Way, featuring many tall arched bridges and a Triumphal Arch. It serves as the facade showcasing Rome's glory and is also where the current Roman Emperor resides.
To the West is the Caligula Palace, with many exquisite inner courtyards, gardens, and a Great Dining Hall large enough to fit five long tables. It is mainly used for banquets to entertain distinguished guests or to hold large-scale events.
Overall, the entire Palatine Hill belongs to the Roman Imperial Palace and has different functions.
However, since being secretly occupied by Demon Dragons and Dragonkin about a hundred years ago, the various lively activities have disappeared, and the atmosphere here has become cold and terrifying. Only the Severus Palace, being the Emperor's residence, has slightly more liveliness and a relaxed atmosphere. On the surface, the Demon Queen Fafnir granted him a certain degree of dignity and respect, prohibiting Dragonkin and Awakened Beings from disturbing the Severus Palace.
But that was all.
As the An-225 Transport Aircraft circled in the Night Sky, figures, either using Parachutes or relying on their own Ability, rapidly rushed towards their target palaces according to their predetermined groups.
Air Raids were a method of War unheard of and unseen by most people in This World. Because even among Awakened Beings, ninety-nine percent lacked Flying Ability, let alone Normal Humans.
This situation meant their airborne descent faced no resistance. Otherwise, in a World with a mature Air Defense system, Millie, Galatea, and others who relied on Parachutes, as well as Vittorio and Basque Grand riding on the backs of Flying Dragons summoned by Julio, would now be facing attacks from various anti-air weapons, making it impossible to be this relaxed.
[Bang!]
The ceiling of the Caligula Palace in the West was penetrated by a bolt of azure Lightning descending from the sky. The brilliant Electric Flash illuminated the Palace Hall, which was only lit by a few torches near the walls, as if it were daytime.
Little A's Speed was the fastest. So even though Steve Guts jumped first, Little A caught up and landed ahead of him. He even left his teammates, Balanta, Taeko, and Armstrong, behind.
Logically, this was incorrect; he should have acted with his teammates. But Little A didn't care. He wanted to see the difference between these so-called Dragonkin and Awakened Beings as soon as possible. It would be best to deal with them quickly and then go to the Domitian Palace in the Center to witness the Strength of the Demon Dragon.
As expected.
Little A's commotion quickly attracted pairs of eyes filled with Malice. He scanned the monsters before and behind him. Most were unremarkable Awakened Beings, with varying levels of Aura. But he immediately noticed that behind this group of Awakened Beings, there were two figures, each larger in size and similar in appearance. Their Aura was also significantly stronger than that of Historia and Cassandra he encountered at the Claymore Organization Headquarters.
Little A was referring to Historia and Cassandra after they had Awakened and possessed the Strength of an Abyssal One.
"So these are the Dragonkin? Looks interesting~"
Facing the encirclement of dozens of Awakened Beings and two Dragonkin, Little A, whose body was flickering with Electric Flash and emitting a burst of Aura, showed no Fear. Instead, a smile full of Fighting Intent appeared on his face. He did feel Pressure, but it was this Pressure that made his blood boil.
"Come on!"
"Let's fight, you monsters!"
This burly man, who should have been the Fourth Raikage, stared directly into the eyes of the Dragonkin ahead, which were filled with surprise and doubt, and let out a thunderous roar on the spot.
"Hell Stab! Four-Finger Nukite!"
[Bang!]
With a clap of Thunder, Little A instantly transformed into a Thunder Spear and fiercely charged into the cluster of Awakened Beings, aiming directly at the location of the Dragonkin.
"Stop him!"
"Protect Lord Gilles!"
"Damn it, this Human can control Lightning and even turn into Lightning?"
"Kill him!"
In an instant, the dazzling Thunder Spear penetrated the Chest of the first Awakened Being. Blood splattered into the Air under the violent Strength, and the Gore filled the Palace Hall.
However.
He alone was still unable to break through the many well-prepared Awakened Beings. The two Dragonkin were also not in a hurry to act, patiently observing Little A's Ability. After all, it was the first time they had seen Humans possess such strange Power, so they were seriously thinking of a Method to deal with Little A.
Dragonkin are Creatures born from the union of Demon Dragons and Humans. Therefore, they possess the Intelligence and Wisdom of Normal Humans, and their thinking isn't as extreme as that of Awakened Beings. This is because Awakened Beings are products whose Consciousness is severely affected by Yoki Power, and even whose thinking is distorted.
But Dragonkin are born with Yoki Power, so these problems do not exist for them. They are simply another Normal Intelligent Race. Their Personality may vary, but they are not so extreme as to lose Rationality.
According to the saying in the Inuyasha World, Dragonkin are Half-Demons, while Awakened Beings are Humans who have been forcibly demonized. However, this doesn't have that much impact on Strength. Among Awakened Beings, there are also exceptionally powerful Abyssal Ones like Isley and Riful, capable of resisting Dragonkin on the Battlefield. At most, Dragonkin are more likely to possess the Strength of an Abyssal One.
A moment later.
From the Hole Little A had previously crashed through, another bolt of crackling Electric Flash descended, immediately tearing open the Chest of an Awakened Being. However, the color of this Electric Flash was different from Little A's.
It was silver-white!
The surrounding Awakened Beings and Dragonkin focused their eyes. It turned out to be a Human Form White Tiger, covered in silver Lightning, with snow-white fur, scarlet Eyes, running upright at high speed, and even wearing Human Clothing!
They felt that today had truly opened their eyes. A Human who could control Lightning wasn't enough, and now there was a White Tiger who could control Lightning!
And this White Tiger was Balanta, a Gold-Rank Duelist from the Mink Tribe, invited by the Adventurer's Guild. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to see the Moon after entering the Palace Hall. He immediately looked up before landing and used the effect of the Moonlight to enter Sulong Form, reaching his Strongest state.
In a blink of an eye, within the dim Caligula Palace, two bolts of Electric Flash, one blue and one silver, were locked in fierce battle with dozens of strangely shaped Awakened Beings.
The Strength of these Awakened Beings was not weak. Since only the Head is considered a fatal part, they only needed to specifically protect one area, and other parts could rapidly self-heal even if damaged. Coupled with their numerical Advantage, and the Palace Hall space not being very wide, they cooperated to surround and intercept Little A and Balanta.
But what they didn't expect was that after the 'Lightning White Tiger', two more figures descended from that Hole.
Taeko, a black-haired girl holding the mass-production Ministerial Arm 'Kiriichimonji'.
And Armstrong, the 'Strong-Armed Alchemist', who had somehow taken off his shirt, revealing his muscular Chest!
[Swish swish swish swish!]
A series of rapid whistling sounds rang out, and Taeko transformed into an afterimage that was difficult to catch, passing through two Awakened Beings at high speed.
The next second.
The Arms and Legs of the Awakened Beings fell to the ground along the smooth cuts. This startled them.
"Fast! So fast!"
"But injuries of this degree, for us... for us... huh?"
As the Awakened Being spoke, its Expression changed. Because it found that even though it condensed Yoki Power at the severed limbs, Flesh and Blood and Bones did not regenerate smoothly as before. It was as if a strange Power at the cut was preventing Yoki Power from regenerating the limbs.
This left the two Awakened Beings lying on the ground, panic-stricken.
"What's going on!"
"Ahhh, my Body can't recover!"
"It's that Blade! Her Blade has a Problem!"
They all let out terrified screams and mournful Warnings.
"What?!"
The faces of the surrounding Awakened Beings who heard this immediately changed drastically. The Expressions of the two Dragonkin who hadn't acted yet also became serious.
A Blade that can prevent Body Regeneration!
But before they could recover from their astonishment.
[Bang————]
Armstrong attracted everyone's Attention with a heavy punch to the ground, and a hot-blooded roar.
"Let me show you!"
"The artistic Alchemy Method passed down through the Armstrong Family for generations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the moment his fist hit the ground, a large amount of golden lightning erupted, and at the same time, sharp earth spikes broke out of the soil, engulfing several Awakened Beings dozens of meters away.
In an instant, the earth spikes pierced their Bodies, bringing intense pain. But what filled them with Fear were the flickering electric serpents. These golden electric serpents would disintegrate Flesh and Blood into blood mist the moment they came into contact with the Body.
"What the hell, more lightning!"
"This time it's golden, and it's very strange lightning!"
The Awakened Beings had already developed Fear towards lightning. Why could these Humans possess this Power that should only be controlled by Gods?
"Destruction is hidden within Creation, and Destruction in turn creates. This is the Law of the Great Universe!"
Armstrong retracted his Right Fist. While striking various bodybuilding poses in front of these Awakened Beings and Dragonkin, he explained his Understanding of Alchemy to them.
At this moment, within the dim Palace Hall, it was as if a holy light shone down from the Hole in the Air above his Head, making his Muscles glisten and leaving the Awakened Beings and Dragonkin speechless.
What is this Human doing?
On the other side.
In the Diocletian Palace located to the East.
Kyros, wearing the Imperial Arm 'Demon Armor' and a scarlet Cape, held a long sword whose blade had turned scarlet and body silver after transforming from 'Red Back Shrike'. He also rushed into the Main Hall first and engaged in a fierce battle with the attacking Awakened Beings.
It was clear that compared to when he was in the Top 100 Competition, both his Speed and Strength had improved significantly. This was due to both the amplification effect of 'Demon Armor' and the recent results of his diligent training. Coupled with the enhancement of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, he could resist even when surrounded by dozens of Awakened Beings.
Not to mention that 'Demon Armor' also has the Ability to become Invisible at any time! This made Kyros's Figure appear and disappear mysteriously during high-speed movement, causing the Dragonkin observing from behind to frown. Because they couldn't sense Kyros's Aura.
Of course... that's an Imperial Arm, a Secret Treasure from Another World! In contrast, the Ninjas' Invisibility Technique would likely be difficult to evade the Perception of these Dragonkin.
Driven by Crisis, the two Dragonkin gathered together, leaning back to back with rapport, vigilantly watching their surroundings. They had realized that the group of Awakened Beings around them was completely unreliable, and Kyros's main Target was definitely themselves.
Indeed, the Awakened Beings on the scene were completely bewildered. Every time Kyros emerged from Invisibility, he would cut off a Head, and with his incredibly skillful evasion movements, he would dodge various Attacks coming from all directions, then become Invisible and disappear into thin Air again.
This made them furious and uneasy. After all, no one knew if they would be the next one targeted.
It wasn't until Yajime Hime, Roy Mustang, known as the 'Flame Alchemist', and another B-Rank Mage Member arrived that this group of Awakened Beings had an object to vent their fear and madness on.
Now, fighting anyone they could see or touch was fine!
"Night Wind."
However.
First, Yajime Hime swung her Blade, unleashing a glowing flying slash attack that instantly cut several Awakened Beings into a pile of Flesh and Blood.
Then, Roy Mustang snapped his fingers with his Right Hand, which was wearing a White Glove, causing a surge of high temperature fire wave to erupt out of thin Air in front of him, engulfing an area.
Finally, the Mage raised his Magic Wand, which was inlaid with a 'Wind Stone'. From a circle of gorgeous green Magic Array, a violent strong wind was released, blowing away a group of charging Awakened Beings. At the same time, it further enhanced the Flame created by Roy Mustang using Alchemy.
At this point, all the Awakened Beings and Dragonkin on the scene immediately understood that these three Humans were also not to be trifled with. But they racked their brains trying to figure out why they possessed these strange Powers. This didn't seem like something Yoki Power could achieve!
That's right.
This was also the question that the Awakened Beings and Dragonkin in the Severus Palace to the South wanted to loudly ask. What exactly was that giant, nearly four meters tall, larger than many Awakened Beings, with a pair of wings on his back that allowed him to fly?
The key was his incredible Strength. One punch could blow up the Body of an Awakened Being! It was literally blown apart.
And that Swordsman, although small in stature, could create a large area of thick fog with each swing of his Blade and had already cut off the Heads of several Awakened Beings...
As well as the White-clothed Person hiding in the thick fog who, upon touching a certain Awakened Being, would cause that Awakened Being to instantly self-destruct and die!
White-clothed Person, this description couldn't be more appropriate. Because the other party's appearance was truly white from head to toe. White Hat, White Suit, White Shirt, White Leather Boots, white socks, White Gloves...
No one knew when Solf J. Kimblee, the High-Level Alchemist nicknamed 'Crimson', had changed his Clothing. He had clearly been wearing the Alchemy Kingdom's Military Uniform just before...
But his Palms, which would explode upon touch, had clearly caused Panic among the Awakened Beings. Especially when combined with Muichiro Tokito's Mist Breathing, the sense of oppression was directly maxed out.
Meanwhile.
The B-Rank Mage from the Mage Association, who was so aloof he didn't even want to reveal his Name, followed behind Captain Urouge, continuously releasing various lightning magic from the Magic Array in front of his Magic Wand. Occasionally, he would create a magic barrier to block the approaching Awakened Beings...
However, the Awakened Beings and Dragonkin in the Tiberius Palace to the North said there was nothing strange. Because the eight people who appeared before them—Millie, Tabitha, Cynthia, Yuma, Galatea, Deneve, Helen, and Audrey—were the most authentic Claymore Warriors. The Demonic Energy on them made the Dragonkin and Awakened Beings here very comfortable, and their Combat Style was the relatively common Swordsmanship.
The only somewhat troublesome thing was Galatea's Ability to temporarily Control their Bodies through Demonic Energy from a distance! Being suddenly Controlled during a fierce battle often resulted in being decapitated by Millie and the others...
However, their Strength was not very high. They could only rely on their rapport and mutual cooperation to maintain their Formation while resisting the violent Offensive of the Awakened Beings. This was also why Steve Guts told them before setting off to try their best to hold on until the other teams finished their battles and came to Support them.
Especially Galatea and Audrey. Unlike Millie, Helen, and others, they were not so-called Half-Awakened Beings. Therefore, excessive use of Yoki Power during Combat could potentially cause them to Awaken on the spot, and at that point, they would likely no longer be allies...
A Half-Awakened Being is a Claymore Warrior who first turns a Blood Relative into a Demon, then transplants the internal organs of this Demon into their Body, and after more than ten years of integration, gains the Ability to regain Rationality and a Human Body upon Awakening. It is a very Crazy Experiment. But this allows them to possess Strength comparable to Awakened Beings, and even to a certain extent, Control partial Body Awakened Transformation. But they will not lose Control, and can return to Human Form at any time...
The previous 'Seven Swords' were all like this, with Clare being somewhat special. What was inside her Body was not the Flesh and Blood of a Blood Relative, but the Flesh and Blood of Teresa. The reason for the Half-Awakened Being effect was likely because she had extreme Love for Teresa. Other than that, there is no other Explanation...
Thank you very much to Steward Overlord for the 4500 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
