At hearing that some of the monsters had bested even the strongest non-human fighters (whatever that meant in this place), Ophelia felt an odd tear in her emotions. On the one hand, it excited her to think that perhaps something stronger than an awakened was here for the challenging and potential slaying. On the other, though Ophelia hated having to admit it, the prospect of having to face one of these creatures without her full strength was more frightening than almost anything she could imagine. A look of genuine worry flashed across her face, only to be replaced swiftly by a small, but dangerous grin at the inquiry about awakened beings.
"The awakened are similar to yoma; they are monstrous and immensely powerful. The difference is that the awakened are stronger, and they are all rotten betrayers," Ophelia explained, her eyes getting wide as the memories of countless awakened being hunts flitted through her mind. "They were all once warriors, the awakened. They are born when warriors lose control and give in completely their yoma sides. They become many orders of magnitude stronger than normal yoma, and their minds become focused on two things only - human guts, and wanton destruction. At least yoma have the decency to stick to single villages and pick off their victims one by one. Awakened beings either rampage wherever they go, or devise elaborate, diabolical schemes for the purposes of delivering the most damage, consuming the most guts, and attaining the most power possible for themselves. Their arrogance is absolutely intolerable! Who are they to presume to own my world and tear it to pieces? Such filthy beasts have no right."
A low growl rumbled in the back of Ophelia's throat as her eyes widened even further. "And there is one in particular, the one-horned monster as most call her. She is the worst one imaginable. The strongest the land has ever heard of, and the one with the most destructive spree taken after birth." She neglected to mention the fact that a certain dear older brother of hers had been victim to this monster, though the thought of him did incense her further. "Since the day I joined the organization, I have vowed that I will be the one to slay the one-horned monster. She deserves worse than hell, and I will deliver it to her."
