Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 312 Shinobu Kocho: Be My Adopted Son, Clare

Memories kept coming back.

That was her experience before she joined the organization and became a Claymore.

At that time, she was used as a toy by a demon to wantonly ravage and disguise her identity, suffering severe trauma to both her mind and body until she was rescued by a greatsword named Teresa, thus escaping the abyss-like nightmare.

The Claymore organization ranks each generation of Claymores from No. 1 to No. 47 based on their strength.

Teresa was the No. 1 and strongest among the previous generation of Claymores.

She was so powerful that no matter how strong the demons she killed, she never unleashed her demonic power and always had a smile on her face, hence the name "Smiling Teresa".

It was even judged by the organization to be the strongest sword of all eras since the founding of the Claymore organization.

Denise, who should have been loyal to the organization,

However, in order to protect himself, he killed the bandits who were plundering the village and those who wanted to kill him, violating the organization's ironclad rules and being regarded as a traitor to the organization.

Until just now,

Gunia couldn't understand why Denise hadn't done anything wrong.

The bandits were the ones in the wrong. They were the ones who plundered villages, killed their own kind, kidnapped villagers, and committed all sorts of atrocities.

However, the organization indiscriminately regarded Teresa, who had been constantly hunting demons and protecting the village and had never done anything wrong, as a traitor and someone who had to be killed.

What Shinobu just said,

It was like a heavy hammer, smashing open her bewildered chest.

"We don't have those survival skills because the Claymore organization has always treated us as tools."

Gunia said those words without any expression.

Each of their greatswords is a special tool fused with the flesh and blood of demons. Once the power of the demons is used beyond the limit, they will awaken.

To become a demon.

Therefore, they have fixed numbers, and their weapons for fighting contain a black letter symbolizing the end of their lives.

Once they feel they are about to turn into a demon, they will send out black letters to find someone to kill them.

It's like a tool that dies of old age and self-destructs.

Without learning those survival skills,

It's because the greatswords don't need to survive. They were never treated as human, or even as demons, but as cold, lifeless greatswords.

Damaged swords are discarded, and a new batch is forged at an extremely fast pace.

stab.

The white bodysuit was torn open.

Exposing a hideous and terrifying body, a body that should have been alluring was marred by a slash that ran from the chest in two.

They were roughly sewn together with individual threads.

Through the gaps in the threads, one could vaguely see the slowly pulsating internal organs and a mass of flesh and blood exuding a foul, demonic aura.

"This is our power to fight demons."

Gunia, with no attempt to conceal her body, continued expressionlessly, "The organization will stuff demon flesh into our bodies, and those who survive will become Claymores."

"This cut wound, because of the demon's flesh and blood, will never heal."

"The flesh and blood of demons will constantly interfere with our human consciousness. The more frequently we use demonic power, the deeper we will be corrupted by it."

"Until finally being completely corrupted, he became a demon that was slain."

A hint of sadness flashed in Gunia's eyes as she said, "In fact, most of the greatswords don't even live to see the day they are corrupted; they fall during battles with demons, either killed by the demons or by their own comrades."

The butterfly was taken aback.

She had a vague premonition, but she was still moved when she heard Gunia say those words.

What followed was anger.

Although she still wore a smile, her voice was icy and chilling as she asked, "Does this kind of person who cares nothing for life deserve to be a leader?"

With the brilliant Ubuyashiki Kagaya preceding him, the Greatsword Leader's appearance appears even more detestable.

Demon Slayer Corps members,

They all became Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen out of intense hatred because their families were killed by demons, and they were all quite young.

If Kagaya Ubuyashiki deliberately guides them, those immature Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen will also be guided into a state like Clare.

Treating human life as a consumable can save a huge amount of assets.

But our lord did not do that.

He was willing to empty the Ubuyashiki family's centuries-old wealth to hunt man-eating demons in order to ensure the safety of his children.

With such a comparison, the superiority is immediately apparent.

Shinobu Kocho suddenly asked, "In that case, Miss Clare, would you be interested in joining the Demon Slayer Corps?"

She made a very bold decision.

This was something the lord hadn't told her about; she acted on her own initiative after hearing about Gunia's plight.

"Treason?"

Gunia's expression changed slightly, and she turned to look around.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after not finding the man in black. He seemed to have a change of heart, but shook his head with a grim expression and said, "If a Greatsword betrays the organization, the organization will send out one of the top-ranked Greatswords to purge them."

"I'm not qualified to be recruited by you. Within the organization, I'm the lowest-ranked and weakest greatsword."

Gunia looked dejected.

The Claymores ranked No. 5 and above are extremely powerful, and she didn't want to implicate Shinobu Kocho and the seemingly perfect Demon Slayer Corps organization behind her.

"Gunnya".

Shinobu Kocho tiptoed and gently placed her hand on the head of the forlorn blonde beauty; it looked somewhat incongruous.

She said, "Don't underestimate the Demon Slayer Corps. Both Master and Gyomei are incredibly powerful because of the Rinne Game."

"And you don't have to betray the Claymore Organization."

"This is just a private agreement between us. I will report to my lord and bring you a Kasugai crow. You can contact the Demon Slayer Corps at any time if you encounter any difficulties."

Shinobu's eyes were filled with heartache.

Both of them were actually quite young. Looking at Kunia, she seemed to see her stepsister Kanao and herself reflected in this withdrawn girl.

At the beginning,

A girl who couldn't even feel crying or pain because of her tragic childhood was rescued by herself and her sister Kanae, and she was just like that, bewildered and helpless.

When my sister was killed by the Upper Moon Demon,

I must be just like Gunia right now, with eyes full of longing for redemption and revenge, right?

The resonance of spirit and soul is sometimes a very strange thing.

Some people who have known each other for hundreds of years cannot do this, but some people feel a unique connection even when they meet for the first time.

Inheriting her sister's will, she seemed to sense her sister's emotions at the time, unable to stand by and watch a child like Gunia fall into depravity.

If my sister were still alive and standing by my side, she would probably support my decision, right?

"Shinobu Kocho, my sister."

Before anyone knew it, Gunia was already in tears, her voice hoarse.

"Gunia, my good girl, from now on you are no longer alone."

Shinobu Kocho gently embraced Clare, whose body was trembling slightly.

After a while,

She taught Clare the Demon Slayer Corps' basic breathing technique, saying, "Learning this breathing technique will improve your physical abilities. Even without unleashing your demonic power, your physical abilities will still be enhanced."

"Until you find a suitable way to suppress the demonic energy corruption you mentioned, unless you encounter an insurmountable demon, do not continue to release demonic energy, understand?"

Shinobu Kocho rubbed Clare's head.

She felt her feet getting sore and tired from always standing on tiptoe, and looked enviously at the tall Gunia.

Even without having fused with demonic flesh and blood, a Gunia of this size would still possess considerable strength after practicing breathing techniques.

Clare wiped away her tears and nodded solemnly, "I will train hard, Shinobu Kocho."

She made up her mind

Not only must they avenge Teresa, but they must also protect Shinobu Kocho and prevent the tragedy from repeating itself.

Therefore, she needs the power to slay all demons.

With her will,

A faint light appeared, condensing into a black game invitation that landed on the tavern counter.

It exudes a mysterious attraction.
