Berserk Stick System

Chapter 95: Pain In Heart

While following them, Barclay’s behavior was a little strange. He seemed to be a little cautious every time he looked around him. While his subordinates were fighting bandits, he went into a narrow alley which I was curious about.

“Lute, be careful with this guy , I have a bad feeling coming from him,” Dina spoke in my chest.

“I see, we’ll be careful then,”

After I followed the man into the alley. It turned out that at this time he was meeting someone who was wearing a robe. They seem to be making a transaction, but their tone of voice this transaction seems to be a failure.

“What are you doing!? Why are adventurers still attacking the bandit gang base? I already told you to get adventurers out of the area. As a result of this adventurer’s attack, we had a hard time protecting the place,” The robed man looked angry.

Barclay knitted his brows, he had already told Guild Master, to attack another location that had a lot of bandits attacking. But why were adventurers still attacking the bandit gang’s base, he also felt something strange.

“I already explained to Guild Master to attack another location, I also only found this out after you said it,”

“Tch, did we get caught?”

The robed man took out a Seezingcal, it seemed he was going to ask for reinforcements perhaps from that noble. After he finished asking for help, the robed man relieved a little, he glared at Barclay.

“You help bandit gang base, I don’t care how, but you have to buy time for us. If you don’t want our deal to cancel,” the robed man said.

Barclay looked displeased to hear this, but he did as he was told. He didn’t want their deal to cancel and he got nothing.

“Okay, I’ll be there soon”

The robed man leaves, all this time I was recording what he was doing on Recorder Stone that Guild Master gave me. With this stone, he would not be able to dodge anymore, because this would be strong evidence

As the name suggests this Recorder Stone is capable of recording an event for several minutes. But the price is very expensive, for a stone. Not many people want to buy something as useless as this, which can only record for a few minutes.

When I saw Barclay about to head to the bandit gang’s base, I couldn’t allow this. I attack him with my chains, Barclay dodges the attack when he senses danger coming from above him.

“Who are you? How dare you attack me,” Barclay frowned.

“Heh, a traitor like you, is enough reason for me to attack you,” I smiled sarcastically.

“Traitor? What do you mean?”

He said as if he didn’t understand what I meant. I played the recording I got earlier, he was surprised, his face became serious looking at me.

“Who sent you to follow me?”

The intimidating aura he gave off made the atmosphere tense. I just smiled and ignored aura, Barclay got angry he lunged at me with his greatsword. I jumped to dodge the attack.

*BOOM*

The road became cracked, Yua and Dina, came out of my clothes. We’re in a battle stance ready to fight Barclay. Yua became a Qilin while Dina became a Slime. Woli is also out of the system, she immediately releases sharp ice to attack Barclay.

Barclay just casually waved his greatsword, and sharp ice shattered along with the strong wind that charged towards us. Woli created a wall of ice to protect us.

*Crack*

The ice wall cracked, but it didn’t break completely. Barclay stomped his foot until the road cracked, very quickly he headed towards us. He attacked the ice wall with his greatsword.

The ice wall shattered, we jumped apart. Yua created a red and hot ball of energy from her mouth and shot it towards Barclay. Barclay immediately cut it, but it created an explosion that formed a dome of fire around it.

After the fire disappeared, there were many burns on his body. Barclay looked at us furiously.

“Hahaha, is that your only ability? Aren’t you an A-Rank adventurer?? I thought you had great abilities,” I mocked him.

Barclay gritted his teeth, his eyes reddened his aura changed, surroundings of his sword seemed to be shrouded in orange light. Muscles on his body swelled up, he was furious now.

“You’re one who forced me, brat, I’ll show you my skills,”

“Vortes Houla!”

A burst aura sent us all flying, I was thrown into the air with others. When I blinked, I was surprised that Barclay was already on top of me with his greatsword. He had a broad smile, dropping his sword down. I used my ice sword, and chain to block attacks.

“No Lute!!”

Dina screamed in fear, they rushed to help me. But it was too late, greatsword had already blown me away causing me to destroy many houses and streets.

Even though I didn’t feel any pain at all, I felt like bones in my body was falling apart. Something gathers in my throat, I spit it out immediately. Blood spurted profusely from my mouth.

‘So this is the strength Rank A,’

I chuckled, standing up with difficulty, wounds on my body slowly healing at an incredible speed. As I was about to continue the battle, something that made me startled and couldn’t move was staring at me now.

A woman in a red robe looks at me with glowing red eyes. An overwhelming obsession was ingrained from her gaze, without me realizing all hairs on my body stood up. I’m not at all afraid of fighting Barclay, but when I face this woman, I feel like I can’t face her.

“Lute, finally I found you,”

Alice smiled happily when she saw me right in front of her suddenly. While she was helping townspeople fight bandits, she walked down the street and was surprised by the sound of an explosion that destroyed many houses and streets. When she got there, she saw the man she had been looking for for a long time.

The feeling of joy made her unable to contain emotions that had been contained all this time, her search in Sailos City was ultimately not in vain. For several months not seeing Lute, she felt very empty. Only when she saw people living in slums did she want to help them, because it reminded her of her past.

Alice ran towards Lute, ever since they had met again. She wants to hug Lute, she wants to make memories with Lute, she wants to live together and have a family with Lute. But she soon stopped on the spot, smile on her face frozen, when she saw Dina who came to help Lute treat the wound. Plus Dina’s loving gaze towards Lute was enough for Alice to understand.

Alice’s eyes darkened, a pain like her heart being stabbed by multiple swords. Happy, sad, angry, disappointed, many emotions gathered in her. She looked at Dina with hatred, all she could think about right now was killing this woman in front of her.

“KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL EVERYTHING!!!”
