Berserk Stick System

Chapter 152 - 152-Strider

Silvie let go of her arms with an embarrassed face, my clothes wet with her tears. It was rare to see her like this. Usually, she would act tsundere.

*RUMBLEEE*

Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard. We both turned towards the sound. There was an open gate, it should be a way to the next floor, and there was also a treasure box lying on the floor. If I remember correctly, we should now be on the 40th floor because the trap before took us straight to the boss room.

"Silvie, let's see what's in that box, then we'll continue exploring this dungeon. I'm sure we'll meet others later, " I told her.

"Um,"

Silvie nodded at hearing me, though her face was still red at the thought of a kiss. Walking towards the treasure box, this box didn't look special at all. I crouched down and opened the box.

"This..."

Silvie and I looked at each other, looking at the contents of the treasure box.

--PoV Natalia—

"BZZZZZZ,"

"Tch, where am I?"

A lot of strange bugs are chasing me. I didn't expect to be in the current situation. Recalling that man's words, I felt a little guilty and thought what he said was true.

"No, don't mind that perverted man, he's no different from the nobles who have made my grandfather suffer."

I was filled with anger and disgust, thinking of those nobles. All the abilities I have had until now are gifts from Grandpa. My grandfather is a very genius person. He created many amazing items. But it displeased the nobles. They felt jealous of Grandpa's genius and made Grandpa suffer by spreading false news about the item he made and getting him from Sailos City.

"Just you wait, I will take my revenge on all of you,"

I was filled with anger inside of me. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I have returned to focusing on my battle now. I'm now in a room filled with insect nests, and on the ceiling, I can see a giant bug. It looks like it's an insect queen.

I don't know where I am now, but I think I'm in the boss's room right now. Hearing that constant buzz of bugs pissed me off. Turning back, I took out the energy launcher and shot all the bugs that were chasing me.

*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,*

But then, other insects started popping up again. At this rate, it would be endless. The only way for me to get past this situation is to kill the insect queen above.

"Rey, help me. I'll try using Strider. "

[Finally, you call me Lia, but isn't that still in the testing stage? What if it fails?]

"We don't have time to think about that. All you need to do is buy me some time,"

"Understood," Rey said, appearing in her suit of armor.

Rey swung her greatsword and shot at all the insects that tried to approach with a small cannon that appeared on her shoulder. I immediately took out a cube box the size of one cubic meter and pressed several buttons on the screen. After that, I put my palm on the screen.

{1% Connecting Process}

The screen shows the percentage that continues to grow. It lasts for several minutes before reaching 100%.

{100% Connecting Process, please provide code}

Taking a deep breath, I opened my eyes and shouted.

"Strider Switch On!"

The box opened and many pieces of flying armor fused with me. It was light blue and white armor, and it also looked very dazzling, with wings on its back. If other people saw this, they'd probably think it's sexy because it accentuates the wearer's curves. This armor has legs fused to mine while a large-looking hand is on my back holding a giant cannon. (Note: If you've seen Mecha anime like Stratos or Bahamut, this will look familiar.)

"Rey, I'm ready, let's attack the queen," I said.

"Okay, " Rey nodded, hearing me.

The two of us flew close to the queen, but many insects were blocking us from getting there. I shot all the insects with a laser beam, aiming my cannon from right to left. A tremendous explosion occurred, annihilating all the insects. Not wanting to lose our chance, we approached the insect queen quickly.

"SCRAAAA"

The queen bee let out a strange hum at us, then lots of bugs started popping up again. Rey swiftly killed any insects that tried to approach me.

"Charges"

Aiming the cannon at the insect queen, I gathered all my mana into shot this time. The energy cannon bar that was on the projection screen started to fill up completely. I then fired a laser beam at the insect queen.

"ENERGY BUSTERS,"

*BOOM!! *

The shot pierced through the insect queen's head. Not long after that, all the insects stopped moving and fell down. I breathed a sigh of relief, but then my face immediately turned pale. I felt all my mana drained from the shot earlier. I fell down. Rey saw this and immediately caught me.

"Lia, are you okay?"

Rey looks worried about my current condition, but I just look at her with a smile before my vision darkens.

--PoV Lute--

I saw Silvie, who was wearing a hairpin with three white flower patterns on her head. It was the item we got from the treasure box. Based on what was written on the paper in the treasure box, its ability was to ward off curses. We're currently exploring the dungeon after being in the boss room before.

"Silvie, you look beautiful in that," I smiled.

"Hehehe," Silvie laughed cheerfully.

Somehow, she seemed to be in a good mood. Is it because I kissed her before? Or maybe he's happy because it's just the two of us right now.

"We should have been sent to the boss's room before, and we are on the bottom floor now. I hope Yua and others are doing well," Silvie said worriedly.

"This dungeon has a lot of traps leading to the boss room, I'm also worried about them. But I don't think they will have any trouble if they continue to be together. It's just that for Natalia, I feel worried about her, " I said with a sigh.

Silvie also nodded in agreement with me. Then, a strange voice sounded in front of us. When we turned our heads, it was an earth golem that was moving slowly.. The golem had not yet noticed our current existence.
