Chapter 109 What's so difficult about this? (4K)
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although some people still feel worried and uneasy about vampires, since the gentleman has said so, no one has stood up to say anything.
After all, it was the gentleman who eliminated the organization, removed the demon flesh and blood from them, and healed the wound on their chests.
It made them all look more human.
This also reversed their tragic fate of constantly fighting demons until they met their death.
Many greatsword warriors don't actually want to be warriors.
Not all of them had a deep hatred for demons; some were just orphans captured by the organization.
Some were even sold to the organization by their own relatives.
Moreover, even if someone has a deep-seated hatred for demons, is everyone really willing to pay such a high price to seek revenge?
The answer is obviously no.
It's worth noting that Claire was the first person to voluntarily join the organization in its decades-long history.
Most people don't have that much awareness and determination.
Many of them used to obey the organization's orders to travel around and kill demons, not only because they were brainwashed by the organization, but also because they had nowhere else to go.
They, being half-human and half-demon, had no other place to belong.
Xu Yuan changed their fate, pulling them out of their previously quagmire-like lives.
This was nothing short of a second life for them.
Moreover, they are not the decision-makers.
They have always been the implementers.
Obeying orders is their way of life, not questioning the decisions of those above them.
Habits cannot be changed in a short period of time.
However, even if they raised objections, Xu Yuan would not actually accept them.
He is a reasonable person.
Therefore, I will explain if I can.
They won't just stand there like a mute and refuse to explain.
But this does not mean that he will easily change his mind just because others disagree.
Especially something this important.
It's important to understand that while a massive steel assault is powerful, in a world where superhuman abilities exist, decapitation strikes are a very effective tactic and must be guarded against.
Abyss-level personal combat ability is still very useful.
One more is one more.
After all, Theresa was strong, but she was alone.
These thirteen people are a very important fighting force.
He cannot abandon it just because some people are worried.
Therefore, he explained the situation of the vampire's retinue and gave his own opinion.
We don't expect them to agree; they are free to have their own opinions.
But he wasn't asking for their opinions.
Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Ya: "Let's continue."
During his time back in the real world, Little Crow absorbed a large amount of the blood of Awakened Ones.
This also includes Priscilla after her awakening.
Although Xu Yuan did not see Priscilla in person, she must be at least a fourth-tier.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be considered to be far superior to those of the Abyss.
After absorbing the blood of so many awakened beings, Little Crow's strength has now reached the third tier.
On paper, his strength is even greater than his.
However, even with this level of strength, controlling these subordinates is still a case of the weak controlling the strong.
After all, Roxanne's strength was greatly enhanced after being transformed, reaching the level of an Abyss Being.
The other No.1 rankings are probably similar.
Logically speaking, simultaneously commanding thirteen familiars stronger than oneself carries risks, but—
Firstly, the idea that "the converted serve the converted as masters" is established by distorting the will of the converted.
It's not that whoever is stronger is the master.
To resist, or even overturn, this distortion, the difference in strength between the two sides needs to be large enough.
With Little Crow currently at rank three, and the Abyss being only about half a step away from rank four, it's not enough.
Secondly, while not all of these former No. 0.1s were necessarily people of high moral character, at least most of them should have been of good character.
Otherwise, the organization that drove them might have been wiped out long ago.
Thirdly, Theresa also intimidates them.
Therefore, although it is a case of the weak controlling the strong, and simultaneously managing thirteen, the actual risk is not high.
Moreover, Xu Yuan did not intend to treat them as servants.
All he needs is for them to help him.
Roxanne asked, "Sir, who are these people?"
"Number 0.1 in history"
"Does the master wish to resurrect them as well?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No, not at all." Roxanne shook her head, her gaze falling on one of the corpses. "I just think one of them is so ugly, so repulsive, that he's not worth giving a new life to."
Everyone followed her gaze.
The soldier had a somewhat sinister appearance, short, curly hair, and pointed ears.
Looking at her, everyone inexplicably thought of snakes.
In addition, the soldier was covered in sword wounds, including on his face and around his eyes.
There are hundreds of them, densely packed together.
Many soldiers were shocked by what they saw.
These injuries—did she die at the hands of a soldier?
Xu Yuan glanced at Roxanne and saw obvious contempt in her eyes when she looked at Cassandra.
Roxanne really despises Cassandra to an extreme degree, even to a pathological extent.
"You two should settle your own grudges with her."
Roxanne's Love and Hate
Upon becoming a warrior, his initial ranking was No. 0.35.
She is drawn to the fighting style of some greatsword warriors and develops strong feelings for them.
Then they began to imitate and learn their skills.
But when she learns their skills and surpasses them in strength, she will discard them like trash and kill them through seemingly accidental means.
After she was promoted to No.0.5, she was attracted to Cassandra, who was No.0.1 at the time.
Cassandra never teams up with anyone.
No matter what kind of Awakened One they defeat, they can return unscathed.
Its fighting style has always been a mystery.
She was almost deified among the soldiers of that time.
Roxanne was strongly attracted to Cassandra.
To paraphrase a line from the comic, it was "filled with unprecedented love and lust."
So she began to approach Cassandra.
Cassandra may seem aloof and unapproachable, but she is actually surprisingly innocent.
She was easily won over by Roxanne.
No matter how close their relationship was, Cassandra was unwilling to go with Roxanne to fight the Awakened.
Until one day, Roxanne secretly followed her after she had eliminated her demonic aura.
Then I saw her fighting style.
Roxanne described it as the ugliest and most horrific fighting style in the history of No. 0.1.
In fact, Cassandra herself was ashamed to be seen by others, which is why she never teamed up with anyone.
That day, Roxanne abandoned her after giving her the derogatory nickname "Dust Eater".
Later, Cassandra met her true friends.
But one day, her friend went on a mission with Roxanne.
The mission objective is a low-level Awakened One.
Roxanne was already No. 0.2 at that time.
No matter how you look at it, there shouldn't be any problem.
Roxanne, who had never failed a mission before, failed that one.
Cassandra's friends were brutally murdered by the Awakened.
Roxanne and the other two were unharmed.
Later, Cassandra found the Awakened One and forced him to reveal what had happened. She learned that Roxanne had simply watched as her friend was tortured and murdered.
Enraged, Cassandra stormed the organization's base, determined to kill Roxanne in revenge for her friend.
Unexpectedly, Roxanne informed the organization in advance that Cassandra might be plotting a rebellion.
As a result, a large number of soldiers gathered at the base.
Cassandra was blinded by rage.
She completely abandoned her defenses, her mind solely focused on killing Roxanne. Ultimately, she was surrounded by warriors and stabbed 126 times before dying at Roxanne's hands.
It could be said that Cassandra's only friend, and herself, were both killed by Roxanne's scheme.
This is definitely a deep-seated hatred.
It's either you die or I die.
"Then I'll do as you say, sir," Roxanne said.
Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Ya and said, "Let's put Cassandra last, so they don't start fighting right away."
Next, one No.0.1 after another was resurrected and transformed into Crow's familiars.
There are many things they need to know after their resurrection.
The truth about the organization, intelligence on the war-torn continent, the current state of the organization, the situation of the vampire family, and so on.
But resurrecting one person and explaining it every time is obviously too troublesome.
So Xu Yuan simply told them to wait until they were all resurrected before explaining everything together.
Finally, only one person remained inside the cave.
By this time, Little Crow's energy had already diminished considerably.
It's obvious that too much blood has been lost.
I have no idea where all that blood came from in its tiny body.
If there were no compression, how much would it be?
In short, the amount of meat in the parasite is quite incredible.
"Is it alright?" Xu Yuan asked.
"Yes, Master," said the little crow.
After saying that, it suddenly remembered something and quickly changed its words, saying, "Actually, I'm a bit exhausted and may need to rest for a while. I won't be able to teach people to read and write for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, I'll give you a break and cover your classes. It's just teaching them to read and write, what's so difficult about that?"
Little Crow seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Ultimately, he felt he couldn't embarrass his host in front of everyone, so he swallowed his words.
Xu Yuan said to Roxanne, "Go out for a bit, lest you two start fighting when Cassandra wakes up later."
In the comics, after Historia, Roxanne, and Cassandra are resurrected, only Roxanne retains her complete memories, while Historia and Cassandra are missing parts of them.
But Little Crow's resurrection was clearly more powerful than Daye's.
So far, none of the twelve resurrected individuals have experienced memory loss.
Including Historia.
Therefore, Cassandra probably doesn't have amnesia either.
Roxanne left the cave to take refuge.
The crow begins to transform Cassandra.
As it injected its own blood, Cassandra, whose body was covered in sword wounds, quickly opened her eyes.
Then, he subconsciously closed his eyes again.
Because both of her eyes were also slashed, and as she awoke, all the wounds on her body burst open.
Cassandra's face contorted in pain as she instinctively began to heal her injuries.
However, the physical injuries are minor.
At this moment, memories of her life flooded her mind.
Pain, anger, despair, murderous intent —
"Luo————Ke————Shan————"
Cassandra's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying an overwhelming killing intent.
She opened her eyes again, trembling all over.
Anyone could see that her mental state was extremely unstable at the moment.
"Roxanne————"
"Roxanne!!!"
With a series of murderous murmurs, the tubes inserted into her body floated up and fell off one by one.
Rumble—rumble—
The cave began to tremble.
Small stones kept falling from above.
Xu Yuan looked at Theresa: "Knock her out."
If left unchecked, it will not only cause devastating damage to this place, but also interrupt Little Crow's transformation of her.
Fortunately, I just sent Roxanne away.
Otherwise, Cassandra might have lost control on the spot.
Theresa struck and knocked her unconscious.
The trembling mountain gradually stabilized.
Historia glanced at Cassandra's body, which was covered in sword wounds, and shook her head slightly, saying, "She really looks terrible."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but turn to look at Theresa.
Historia also died at the hands of warriors.
She was being targeted and suppressed by the organization.
The one who delivered the final blow to her was Rose Marie, who was then No. 0.4, but the one who truly dealt her the fatal blow was Theresa, who had only recently become a warrior.
It's safe to say that they've become enemies.
Noticing Historia's gaze, Theresa looked at her and smiled, "Is there something you need, senpai?"
Historia snorted and turned her head away.
Although she disliked the other person, she remained relatively rational.
She clearly felt the huge gap between herself and the Theresa she was now.
Especially after tasting her blood.
Moreover, she noticed that Theresa seemed to have a good relationship with her master and her master's master.
For Historia, being reborn is the most important thing; past grievances can be left behind.
Of course, those who don't like something will still not like it.
"These wounds were all caused by the warriors' swords, and not by the same person," an early N.1 source said.
"That death was truly gruesome."
"How can there be so many sword wounds?"
"Was his corpse whipped after he died?"
"Did they betray the organization?"
"If she betrayed the organization, how could they possibly resurrect her?"
Because many warriors were present, the No.0.1s subconsciously assumed that the organization had resurrected them.
On the other side, after Cassandra completed the transformation, the crow retracted its meat tube: "Master, all done."
"Thank you for your hard work," Xu Yuan said, then woke Cassandra and asked, "Are you calm now?"
Cassandra was breathing heavily, her body still trembling violently.
However, at least he no longer releases his power indiscriminately.
After a while, she finally calmed down.
She looked at the crow, and the instinct flowing in her blood told her who it was: "Master."
Xiao Ya nodded and introduced Xu Yuan to her.
Upon learning that the blood-red-eyed warriors around her were the resurrected No. 0.1s from previous generations, just like herself, Cassandra suddenly scanned the cave.
"No Roxanne?" she asked, letting out a cold laugh. "Did that guy just disappear without a trace?"
Xu Yuan looked at her and said, "She's outside."
With a "whoosh," Cassandra disappeared.
The next instant, a loud bang came from outside the cave, as if two giant beasts had collided.
"Roxanne!!!!
