Berserk Stick System

Chapter 90: Slums

“How? You didn’t fight, right?” I asked Celyne.

“Um, after hearing your explanation before. Silvie and I want to see them, and as you said, Dina is slime and Lusi is an experiment object, I feel angry with these scientists,” Celyne seemed to be frowning.

“It’s okay, they vanish, because I killed them all.” I patted Celyne’s head.

“Um, I know,” Celyne hugged me tightly.

“Lute, what did you discuss with Guild Master and Uncle Braine?” Silvie asked.

“Err… I discussed some incidents that happened recently. I will help them deal with this matter.”

“Is it dangerous?” Silvie looked worried.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of some bandits disturbing the city,”

Silvie still looked doubtful, well I didn’t want to see them worried, so I sent them into the house. I cooked lunch for all of them, Silvie and Celyne were surprised by my cooking.

They did hear me say my cooking skills were great, but they thought it was just bragging.

Seeing their shocked faces I chuckled, especially when they saw Woli who suddenly appeared, even though I explained it was my Famos. Silvie still couldn’t believe it because since we were kids, she had never seen my Famos.

I told her that my Famos awaken while I was traveling. Although she was still suspicious, since the creature was in front of her eyes, she could only believe what I said.

After lunch, we went outside to play. With Yua still a child, the atmosphere became more cheerful, Celyne also still looked childish even though she had grown up until now.

…..

In the evening after dinner, everyone was chatting in the living room. I walked over to them and sat beside Dina.

“I’m going out now, you guys don’t wait for me because I’ll be home late,”

“Eh? Lute where do you want to go?” Dina tilted her head.

“I will undertake quest given to me by Adventurer’s Guild,”

“Can’t we come along?” Yua saw me pleading.

“There’s no way I can take you guys because this mission requires only one person,”

“Ugh…”

They all look displeased, I can only sigh, and kiss their foreheads one by one. Silvie and Celyne looked reluctant, as I was about to leave them.

“Alright, I will go now, remember to sleep early. I don’t want you to get sick just waiting for me.”

“We understand.” They all nodded.

Leaving the house, I used a disguise. My current face looks like that of an ordinary man who with just one look, that person will be easily forgotten. Going through the crowd, I headed for slums, this area is where many crimes usually happen. Because in a place like this rules don’t apply.

…..

Walking down a rundown street, this place is very unkempt. Many people look hungry with thin bodies when they see me. They had expressions as if they wanted to rob me, yet they didn’t dare attack me.

But what I’m looking for isn’t them, I’m looking for real bandits. To find out the bandit location, I need to do this. If I search with no information at all, it looks like a fool.

After walking for quite a while, I felt that many people were hiding and following me. Suddenly a sharp object attacked me from above, I immediately deflected it with a sword. The reason I used a sword was to keep my disguise from being exposed, if they saw me using chains they would find me later.

My enemy is a demon, not only here. In the academy, there will also be incidents caused by demons. I don’t want to risk them finding me sooner, and targeting me or people around me.

The sword I’m currently using has the ability to freeze I bought this in the system, this weapon has a C Rank, at least it’s enough to fight them.

Five people came out of darkness, what I didn’t expect some of them looked the same age as me. They don’t look like bandits, but I don’t care, I’ll get some information from them.

A man with brown hair about my age spoke, he pointed a dagger at me. His group also surrounded me from various directions.

“Why should I hand it over? All of you are just a bunch of bandits,” I chuckled.

The man frowned, he immediately rushed to attack me with his dagger. I parried it with my sword. The sword attack came from behind, spinning while pushing the dagger, I countered the attack that came from behind.

That guy’s sword cracked from the impact attack, I pierced his shoulder and made his shoulders freeze. The man screamed in pain, I kicked him in the stomach until he floated.

Another attack came from the side, jumping into the air I kicked the guy’s head and stabbed my sword in his back. No blood came out at all because it was already frozen.

Two people rushed at me simultaneously, they came from left and right with swords coated with fire and wind magic. I just smiled, stabbed my sword into the ground, filled it with mana and spiked ice appeared around me attacking them until badly injured.

The attack came from above. I dodged it to the side and attacked the brown-haired man. He parried it and backed away.

“Tell me where your base is.”

“Don’t expect me to tell you,”

“You still don’t understand, you’ve already lost.”

“Lost? Hahaha, I’ll see who loses now.”

Lightning gathered around him, a ball with an electric bolt formed in his hand. Seeing this I felt a little familiar like he was going to lunge at me right after. And sure enough, he lunged at me really fast. I was surprised, without thinking I made an ice wall in front of me using a sword, but it shattered and he still lunged at me.

“Take this, Thundersol,”

Hand with a lightning ball, towards my chest, in a hurry, I dodged it as best I could. But it still hit my chest and sent me bouncing with an electric shock.

*BOOM*

I crashed into a house and smashed walls into pieces. The man looked at this with a proud expression, but what he didn’t know, I didn’t feel any pain at all.

When he saw me coming out of the house, unharmed, the man was taken aback. He was sure his attack hit my chest.

“You, how did you not get hurt after receiving my attack,”

“Hahaha, this is nothing compared to what I’ve been through. Alright, now it’s my turn,” I looked at that man with a big smile.

Before he could even protect himself, I was on top of him and stomped on his chest until he landed on the ground.

“Guho…”The man vomited blood, feeling pain in his chest.
