Chapter 52 Showing Claymore to Claymore
Chapter 52 Showing Claymore to Claymore
After a fair and square duel with Xu Yuantang.
Jonathan and Zeppelin have disappeared.
They chose to believe him, fulfilling a gentlemanly promise with a proud and noble attitude.
Hayato Furinji did not stop him any further.
He wanted to tell them about where they came from, but in the end he didn't.
After Jonathan and Zeppelin disappeared.
The spatial nodes began to dissipate, and the darkness that had been obscuring this area quickly vanished.
Warm, slightly dazzling sunlight streamed in.
This surprised Xu Yuan slightly.
Aren't there two left?
There are three people on DIO's side now.
However, he quickly understood what was going on.
The US military, the greatsword, and Hayato Fuurinji standing in front of him, and possibly others as well.
This commotion is really huge.
I wonder how many forces have poured in.
The other two were probably killed by someone.

On the other side, Hayato Furinji frowned deeply.
After the two young men (Zeberlin was also considered young by him) disappeared in the form of light, the unusual situation that had been shrouding the area vanished.
This makes it impossible not to make that connection.
"Young friend, what that young man said, what you told him, is it true?"
Xu Yuan asked, "What do you mean? Will you return to your original world after being killed? Of course it's true."
"It's not that," Hayato Furinji said seriously. "It's the fact that our presence in this world will affect its stability."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan looked up at the sun that had reappeared in the sky: "You should have seen it too, right? After JOJO and the others went back, the anomaly in this place disappeared."
"That being said, the fact that this place is shrouded in darkness is ultimately just an anomaly; it hasn't caused any other problems. It shouldn't be considered a major issue affecting world stability, right? Is there any other evidence?"
"If that's the case, then there really isn't. However, the previous anomaly was caused by the overlap of two worlds. Do you think the overlap of two worlds would have no impact?"
Since Furinji Hayato asked him, Xu Yuan didn't mind telling him about it.
Firstly, this isn't something that can't be said.
Secondly, Liangshanbo belongs to the good and lawful camp, and they would not use this intelligence to plot anything bad.
If the other party doesn't believe him, he won't persist.
Because when it comes to critical interests such as life and death, empty arguments are meaningless.
In many cases, even presenting solid evidence is meaningless.
In short, if the other party wants to know, he doesn't mind telling them.
I won't insist on hiding things, or only saying half of what I mean, acting as a riddle person.
Xu Yuan didn't really care whether the other party believed him or not.
Believe it or not.
Anyway, once he's strong enough, he can just drive them all out.
As for now, his strength is not enough.
In the original manga "Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple in History", the description of Hayato Fuurinji is very exaggerated.
He has a technique called "0.0002% Kumite," which means suppressing his own strength to 0.0002%.
It was something he specifically used to practice with his granddaughter.
Even after suppressing his strength to 0.0002%, he could still unleash a Mach ring with a single punch, create afterimages as he moved, tear trees apart and cleave the ground with ease, and let out a loud shout that swept across the entire arena, scaring even the most skilled players into wanting to flee.
Is this guy even on the same level as an expert?!
Moreover, in the end of the manga, he actually destroyed the missile with his bare hands, and the key point is that he was completely unharmed.
Although the world clearly does not fully recognize these things, otherwise he would probably be more than just Tier 3, Xu Yuan estimated that Furinji Hayato is likely among the top Tier 3 members.
It's the kind of skill that's just one step away from reaching the intermediate level.
They might even have already stepped halfway in.
His casual move just now proved his earlier guess.
Xu Yuan himself had only just entered the third stage.
He cultivates all three attributes simultaneously, and with the advantages of his equipment and techniques, his strength is much greater than that of others at the same level.
But they certainly can't compare to those who are about to enter the fourth stage.
Moreover, the people of Liangshan Marsh mastered "qi" and followed the path of martial arts.
They actually practice both physical cultivation and energy cultivation.
Greatswords are similar.
Foodies, on the other hand, can only be considered to have extraordinary physical abilities.
So far, of the three attributes, Xu Yuan has never encountered anyone who cultivates the soul.
Perhaps because it doesn't look cool enough, Japanese anime doesn't focus much on that aspect.
But Xu Yuan has experienced firsthand the benefits of a strong soul.
Putting everything else aside, the boost to his comprehension alone has greatly benefited him in his study of energy and techniques.
Comprehension, or rather, learning ability.
This thing is similar to comprehension, but it's more "ordinary" and not as mysterious as comprehension.
To give an analogy, a person with high comprehension can easily grasp knowledge and complete scientific research tasks well, but cannot become someone like Newton or Einstein.
Does that mean it's not important?
This is not the case.
If we compare enlightenment to a flower, then comprehension is the leaf.
If we compare insight to a researcher, then understanding is his assistant.
The two complement each other.
With strong comprehension as a support, insight can be brought into its greatest effect.
Closer to home.
Upon hearing Xu Yuan mention "two worlds," Furinji Hayato asked in confusion, "Aren't we from a manga?"
Xu Yuan explained, "Fantasy works have given rise to worlds, and there are more than just characters like you."
Of course, compared to the real world, the fantasy world is definitely a step below.
Even the origin is associated with the word "empty".
Moreover, the quality is only red, not world-class.
"You guys?" Hayato Furinji asked, his confusion tinged with obvious surprise.
"I am not a person from a fantasy work."
"!!!" Hayato Fuurinji exclaimed in surprise, his guess now confirmed. "You're from the real world?!"
"That's one way to understand it."
"Is that a fair interpretation?"
"Similar to"
Seeing that Xu Yuan didn't intend to explain further, Furinji Hayato didn't press the matter, instead asking, "So, are you banishing us on behalf of this world?"
"More or less," Xu Yuan said.
He had some doubts about whether the system was the will of the real world.
Fantasy worlds all possess a global will.
The real world can't exist without us, can it?
When the real world is invaded, shouldn't the world's will be the one to react the most?
In short, he suspected that even if the system was not the will of the real world, it was probably related to it.
Hayato Furinji pondered Xu Yuan's words.
Although logically consistent, it ultimately lacks evidence.
If it's a minor matter, then it's fine.
But this is by no means a trivial matter.
He couldn't possibly surrender obediently just because of what the other party said.
"Alright, I'm leaving now," Xu Yuan said.
But just then, a familiar voice rang out.
"Which way are you going?!"
Xu Yuan turned his head and squinted slightly.
He then asked why Sophia and Royal hadn't caught up with him after he had gotten rid of them.
I thought they were lost or had given up.
So it turns out we ran into a helper by chance?!
And surprisingly, it was someone they knew.
"Oh, it's you." Theresa looked at Xu Yuan with a surprised expression.
Xu Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
In this timeline, Theresa shouldn't know him.
Does she remember something from another timeline?!
But Theresa's next words quickly dispelled his suspicions: "Aren't you the one who was being chased by that ugly monster that night?"
Being chased by a monster?
Xu Yuan thought about it and realized that this had only happened once.
That was when JM was chasing me back then.
Was she there at the time?
At this moment, Theresa's delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly as she stared at Xu Yuan and said, "Have we met somewhere before? Why do you seem so familiar?"
"No, you're mistaken," Xu Yuan said.
"Is that so?" Theresa muttered, then looked at Hayato Fuurinji. "Oh, you're here too."
Hayato Furinji laughed heartily and said, "I should thank you for going easy on me last time."
"You ran fast, I was just too lazy to chase you," Theresa said casually. "Besides, the organization has rules that we can't kill people."
At this point, she suddenly paused, looking at Sophia and Royal beside her with a puzzled expression: "Wait, who did you say the mission target is?"
Luo Yalu pointed at Xu Yuan: "That man."
"But he is human."
"How can humans have wings?"
"Wings?" Theresa looked at Xu Yuan. "Where?"
Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan had a sudden thought, and red and black wings stretched out from his shoulder blades on his back.
Theresa looked at it a couple more times in surprise.
Then, he said to Sophia and Royal, "His wings aren't actually connected to his body; they're probably just some kind of prop."
Sophia said, "The three of us, including Royal, Belinda, and I, surrounded and killed him, but he killed one of us instead."
"Don't you think this is very unusual?"
"How could humans have such strength?"
"This man may just look like a human."
"In short, the organization's mission target is him."
Theresa shook her head and said, "Perhaps, but at least he's not a demon."
"Are you trying to disobey orders, Miss Theresa?"
"That's your mission, not mine. In fact, I haven't been able to contact the organization since I arrived in this strange place."
"No matter where we are, we just need to complete the tasks assigned by the organization."
"Even if the organization orders you to kill humans?"
"I already told you this man couldn't possibly be human!"
Even if he's not human, he's not a demon.
"Miss Theresa, do you consider yourself number one? If you're not going to help, please step aside."
"Excuse me, excuse me," Xu Yuan said, raising his hand.
He finally understood.
So it turns out they were chasing him on orders from the Claymore organization.
The reason, I guess, is that he was cleaning up demons.
After arriving in the real world, the Claymore organization, for some reason, seems to be continuing its experiments.
New monsters will frequently appear on the bounty board.
Xu Yuan frequently takes on related tasks.
Firstly, for the sake of points.
Secondly, they would feed [Wing] with the flesh and blood of demons to see if any changes would occur.
Incidentally, following a line of thought from another timeline, Xu Yuan tried his hand at aquaculture.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Demons are cruel and sadistic by nature and cannot be tamed at all.
In their struggle against this, they continuously drive their bodies to excessive deformation, causing the bodies to break down quickly.
After the breeding attempt failed, Xu Yuan gave up on it.
We might as well just feed the demons to the [wings], and let them absorb as much as they can.
Now it seems that he has been targeted because he was clearing out demons and constantly causing trouble for the Claymore organization.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
If all of Qian's past misdeeds were exposed, wouldn't the Claymores under his command rebel?
Thinking about this, he suddenly became curious.
"Sophia and Royal, right? How much do you know about this world, and the world you originally came from?"
"This world?"
"The world we originally lived in?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, it seems you know nothing."
"You bastard! What are you trying to say?!"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, after arriving in this unfamiliar place, did the organization quickly begin to forbid you from going out?"
"How did you know?!"
"Does this mean that even if you need to go out, you have to go and come back quickly, and you're not allowed to communicate with others during that time?"
"How...how did you know?!"
"Did sending you here to surround and kill me mean you're forbidden from communicating with me?"
"Hey! I'm asking you! How did you know that?!"
"Has No. 3 High-Speed Sword Ineli never gone on a mission since arriving here, and has she been staying at the base the whole time?"
"Irene is number two! Not number three!"
NO.2?!
Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Oh, that makes sense.
At this point in time, Theresa had not yet betrayed the organization, and Priscilla might not have become a Claymore yet.
Perhaps he's still just a trainee.
Anyway, it hasn't become No. 2 yet.
Therefore, Sofia should actually be No. 3, while Royal should be No. 4.
"How do you even know this?!"
"That's not hard to guess. High-Speed Sword Inelli is a smart woman, and the organization wouldn't dare let her out."
"What do you mean by that?!"
"By the way, do you two go on missions much more frequently than others?"
"..."
"You guys don't actually think you're being valued, do you?"
"..."
"Turns out they were two idiots."
"You bastard! What did you say?!"
"Do you have a death wish?!"
Xu Yuan shook his head and looked at Theresa: "And you?"
Theresa gave him a clear, confused look: "What?"
"How much do you know?"
"Know what?"
"..." Xu Yuan was speechless. "You've been out there the whole time, don't you know anything?"
"I don't know, and I'm not really interested."
Xu Yuan understood; this person was just looking for places to sunbathe and sleep.
It has to be said, the Claymore organization is really lucky.
If any part of this goes wrong, this organization would probably be finished long ago.
He sighed, took the complete set of "Claymore" manga from his inventory, and casually tossed it to them.
"See for yourselves."
