Chapter 107 Vampire Familiars (4K)
Daye will collect the body of the No. 0.1 of all time.
This place was clearly his collection room.
Xu Yuan saw thirteen corpses there.
Some are complete, some are incomplete.
Seven of them were mentioned by name in the comics.
At that time, Daye received Priscilla's arm and mumbled something in the council chamber.
This means that the owner of the arm was so powerful, yet the organization was unaware of his existence, leading to the suspicion that someone within the organization was hiding his information.
During the meeting, he also asked the senior management a question—
Which warriors, after awakening, might surpass Isley, Livru, and Lucyella?
The high-ranking officials present at the time listed the No. 0.1 in history who died without awakening.
【The Flowing Beauty of Historia】
Lichty the Three-Armed
Chloe the Greatsword
【The Oracle - Sistine】
Roxanne's Love and Hate
【The Smiling Teresa】
Lucia, the All-Knowing
Cassandra, the Dust Eater
(The ranking is not in any particular order of time or strength, but is based on the order in which the high-ranking members speak in the comic.)
They clearly did not list all of No. 0.1.
Because they didn't mention Rosemary.
Rosemary was No. 0.1 before Theresa.
She had actually awakened, but the organization didn't know it.
In other words, in the organization's eyes, she should be No.0.1 who died before she was awakened.
But her name wasn't mentioned at the time.
The list provided by the higher-ups should be the stronger ones among No. 0.1.
In fact, there were more than seven bodies here.
(Eight names, seven remain after removing Theresa)
There were thirteen bodies.
Seven of them are relatively strong, and six are relatively weak.
That's at least how the organization sees it.
It's possible that some people, like Theresa, might slack off.
After glancing around, Xu Yuan looked at Theresa: "Why isn't Rosemary's body here?"
Theresa shrugged. "She awakened, and since I didn't want the organization to know, I destroyed her body."
Good grief, are you trying to cover up the crime?
The No.0.1 of the Claymore organization is not only ranked by strength, but also has symbolic significance, possessing a status, strength, responsibility, and honor that the other 46 members can only dream of.
It is meaningless to promote those who are not capable enough.
On the contrary, it would diminish the symbolic effect of No. 0.1.
From Theresa's disappearance six years ago to Priscilla's being crowned No. 1 a little over a year ago, the No. 0.1 position remained vacant for more than four years due to the lack of someone with sufficient strength.
Therefore, all thirteen of them were before Theresa.
Xu Yuan did a quick calculation.
Thirteen people, plus Isley, Livru, Luciela, and Rose Marie, make a total of seventeen.
In other words, there were a total of seventeen No.0.1s before Theresa became No.0.1.
It has been seventy years since the organization landed on the island.
Six years ago, the world of Claymore seeped into reality.
So let's go back six years.
When the story unfolds in reality, Theresa is 24 years old. She became No.0.1 at the age of 20, meaning she had been No.0.1 for four years.
Go back four years.
That means there are only sixty years left.
Sixty years, seventeen No.0.1s.
The average term of office is 3.5 years.
The end of a term often means death.
That's really cruel.
From this perspective, Theresa was originally expected to serve as No. 0.1 for about ten years, which is quite a long time.
However, the longest-lasting one should be Alicia.
After Theresa's death, the twins stepped forward.
After that, Alicia remained the organization's No. 0.1 for a total of eighteen years.
Firstly, Alice is indeed very strong in the later stages.
She lives up to her No.0.1 title even under normal circumstances, and after awakening in Synchronous Synchronization, she becomes an Abyss-level being, and no one can shake her position.
Secondly, Geminis are trusted by the organization.
Lemoto believed that a good warrior was one who would die within the appropriate timeframe.
Because what they want is not the greatsword.
It is a controlled awakening technology.
The greatsword was merely an experiment, an intermediate product.
If there are uncontrollable risks, they need to be eliminated.
Many greatsword warriors were actually killed by the organization under various pretexts.
This may even include some of the No. 1 rankings.
Xu Yuan looked at the corpses displayed in front of him.
Awakening the Greatsword is simple: just let go of self-restrictions and continuously unleash your demonic power.
If these people want to awaken, no one can stop them.
But they all died in a state of unconsciousness.
Regardless of their character, they all have their own principles and pride.
Miria said, "We want to try to resurrect them."
Xu Yuan was not surprised by this.
Because when he came to this place, this was the only thing he could think of.
He was just a little confused.
How did Miria know they could be resurrected?
Although, according to the conversation between Daye and Lemoto in the original work, the resurrection plan was proposed before he obtained Priscilla's arm.
But that's a story that takes place more than a decade later.
Did Daye have this idea more than a decade ago and record it in his research notes?
Or was it Theresa and the others who suggested it?
But they should know that such a resurrection would awaken them.
The answer surprised Xu Yuan.
In response to his doubts, it was the crow who said, "Master, perhaps the crow can revive them."
Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback: "You?!"
Little Crow nodded: "That Daye is quite capable. The nutrient solution he prepared keeps these people in a state of recent death. Little Crow might be able to revive them."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but look at the nutrient tubes inserted into their bodies.
It's a bit strange.
If the goal is simply to preserve the body, there should be a simpler method than continuously administering nutrient solutions.
So, is this to maintain their status?
Could this be one of the conditions for resurrection?
If that's the case, Daye may have had the idea of resurrecting them long ago.
It may have started as just a prototype.
It was subsequently refined into a plan.
But after it was submitted, it was rejected.
Until the organization faced collapse.
Furthermore, the unexpected acquisition of Priscilla's arm significantly increased the success rate of the experiment.
Only then was it finally implemented.
The strongest three—Historia, Roxanne, and Cassandra—were resurrected from the intact No. 0.1.
So, it's been kept in the state of someone who just died?
That little crow might actually be able to revive them.
Transforming someone into a vampire familiar by injecting their blood is a common ability of vampires.
DI0 can even resurrect the recently deceased through this.
In the third part of JOJ0, he used his own blood to revive the decapitated Vanilla Ace and turn him into a vampire.
That obviously has nothing to do with a body double.
It is DI0's vampire ability.
The question now is whether this matter has been recognized by the JOJ0 world, and whether maintaining a state of being recently dead through external force counts.
However, Xu Yuan felt that the success rate should not be low.
Because of Crow, or rather, the body of DI0 that Crow parasitizes, its vampire constitution is an enhanced version that has absorbed some of the abilities of demi-humans.
Not only are they not afraid of sunlight, but they can also be resurrected after death.
Therefore, even though DIO's ability to revive others with his own blood was not recognized by the world in the original JOJO manga, it does not mean that Crow's blood cannot be used in the same way.
Because its capabilities surpass those of the original DI0.
Little Crow said, "However, Little Crow is not 100% sure, and it might cause some unexpected situation."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's choose one and give it a try."
As he spoke, he pointed to one person: "Her it'll do."
Apart from Teresa, Irene, and others who had read the comics, no one else knew who he was referring to.
After all, they were from completely different eras.
The organization has a list, but no portraits.
As everyone looked over, they saw that the soldier had curly hair in pigtails, heavy makeup, long eyelashes, bright red lips, and a beauty mark under his right eye.
Such an outfit is rare in Claymore.
Because the vast majority of greatswords are unadorned.
Few people know how to wear makeup, let alone heavy makeup.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but speculate, "That pervert Daye, could it be that he had someone maintain her makeup even after she died?"
Everyone who heard this felt a chill run down their spine.
Xu Yuan shook his head and said to Xiao Ya, "Let's begin."
He chose "Roxanne, who loves and hates".
the reason is simple.
The first experiment is bound to carry risks.
Roxanne isn't a very good person, so let her take the blame.
One of the crow's wings transformed into a piece of flesh, then a slender fleshy tube extended and plunged into Roxanne's carotid artery.
As it injected its own blood, Roxanne, who had been quiet, suddenly moved.
Then her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.
A series of low gasps suddenly emanated from inside the cave.
Firstly, because it actually came back to life.
Secondly, the unknown warrior in front of them had her silver pupils, which were originally the same as theirs, gradually turning blood red.
Thirdly, it was because the aura emanating from her was constantly rising.
When Roxanne's pupils turned completely blood red, Miria's expression changed slightly: "The Abyss?!"
As a survivor of Priscilla's awakening, she had met Livru and Luciela.
At this moment, in her eyes, Roxanne's aura was in no way inferior to theirs.
But what's going on?!
How could No. 0.1 be an Abyss Being?!
Has she awakened?!
At this moment, the crow retracted its protruding fleshy tube.
Roxanne's body trembled slightly, and the tubes inserted into her body fell off instantly, healing all the wounds from the tubes in the blink of an eye.
Then, she walked up to Xu Yuan, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Thank you, my Lord, for giving me a new life."
She wasn't kneeling before Xu Yuan, but before Xiao Ya.
The little crow said, "He is my master. From now on, he will be your number one master, and I will be your number two master."
"I understand, Master," Roxanne said.
Xu Yuan gently shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Just call me 'sir' like everyone else."
Roxanne looked up and said, "Sir."
"Get up," Xu Yuan said, taking out a blanket and tossing it to her. "Cover yourself up."
Miria, who was standing to the side, seemed to want to ask something, but hesitated to speak. Xu Yuan gestured for her to calm down.
He looked at Roxanne: "Do you remember who you are?"
"Roxanne".
"Do you know you're already dead?"
"Know."
"Do you have any memories from before you died? Are there any parts that are unclear or vague?"
"We have all the memories from before our death, and so far we haven't found anything that's unclear or ambiguous."
"What's your situation right now?"
"The blood my master injected into my body transformed me into a new physique, stronger and more stable than my original half-demon body. As a result, after absorbing the original power, my strength has been greatly enhanced."
"Can you still awaken now?"
"No, there is no demonic power left in my body, and the demonic flesh and blood inside me have become a complete burden. Please allow me to remove them later."
"After it's removed, will you be able to regenerate the internal organs and repair the wound?"
"Can."
"Oh, let's give it a try." Xu Yuan took out the folding bed.
Roxanne glanced indifferently at the greatsword warriors present, then lay down on the bed, stretched out her right hand, and her nails suddenly grew long and sharp. She then took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and used her sharp nails to cut open the stitches.
Then, she reached her right hand into her body and began to pull out the demonic flesh and blood that was stuck between her internal organs.
The whole process was naturally incredibly painful.
After all, becoming a vampire doesn't mean you can't feel pain.
Because of the intense pain, her right hand, which was inserted into her body, trembled uncontrollably. In addition, although she could feel the distribution of those foreign objects, she lacked precision.
Therefore, it can damage some organs from time to time.
This undoubtedly added to her suffering.
Many of the greatsword warriors present couldn't bear to look away, feeling that the scene was too painful and too cruel.
Thank you, sir, for giving them anesthesia at the time.
After all, it looks really painful without anesthesia.
"Let me do it," Xu Yuan said. "It'll be more troublesome for you to do it yourself, and it'll be harder to clean it properly."
Upon hearing this, Roxanne let out a soft breath and tremblingly removed her hand from her body: "Thank you, sir."
After cleaning her up, Xu Yuan cut open her healed intestines and stomach: "That's enough, try giving birth again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Roxanne's intestines and organs began to regenerate smoothly.
Xu Yuan wasn't surprised by this.
Although she doesn't have Ripple, vampires are naturally very regenerative.
However, the ripple effect is still very useful.
While mastering it requires a lot of time and effort to practice, getting started isn't difficult.
Anyway, Little Crow's vampire constitution means she's not afraid of Ripple.
I'll let her learn it in a bit.
Although Roxanne's character wasn't great, Xu Yuan was still reassured by her loyalty.
Because she is now a crow's kin.
Roxanne's regeneration and repair were completed quickly.
However, after she finished, her gaze towards the greatsword warriors around her suddenly became somewhat dangerous. A dangerous red light flashed in her scarlet pupils, faintly revealing a bloodthirsty desire.
Everyone was startled and gripped their weapons tightly.
Theresa raised an eyebrow slightly, preparing to kill Roxanne if she made any move.
Perhaps they sensed this deadly crisis.
Or perhaps, as a Claymore in her previous life, she had become accustomed to suppressing her impulses with willpower.
Roxanne's eyes gradually cleared, and she forcibly suppressed the sudden surge of vampire urge deep within her.
"Do you really want to drink blood?" Xu Yuan suddenly asked.
Roxanne nodded: "That's right."
"Sir, what's wrong with her?" Miria asked after glancing at Roxanne.
Xu Yuan said, "Xiao Ya's constitution is that of a vampire."
"It can turn a target into a vampire by injecting blood into the target's body."
"This transformation will distort the will to some extent."
"Those who are converted will worship the converts as their masters."
"Roxanne is still Roxanne; her memories, thoughts, personality, habits, and so on have not changed."
"But she is not entirely the same Roxanne she used to be."
"Her will was somewhat distorted."
Everyone gained power through extremely dangerous and cruel methods, so they naturally understood the principle that to gain something, you have to give something in return.
Resurrection always comes at a price, not to mention that one's strength is enhanced after resurrection.
And you don't have to worry about awakening anymore.
Because she went from being a half-demon to a vampire, she lost all her demonic power and couldn't awaken her powers anymore.
But the problem is, what's with the bloodsucking?!
A new demon?!
