Chapter 119 118. Berserker.
"Well, that's 'The Psycho' for you." Louie mumbled.
BOOM
Louie charged at the vampires with the double-edged sword in his right hand, slashed off their necks as soon as he appeared in front of five vampires, even though he knew he hadn't completely dealt with them, he was certainly weakening them, pushing their 'Blood regeneration' to its utmost limit, so that his team would have an easier time dealing with them. His job as a 'Tanker' against vampires felt pointless to him, so he was taught to 'Tank' them by weakening them until they are desperate for blood, of course the one who taught was Eshwar, earning him the moniker 'Sensei,' which only Louie uses.
(AN: he calls Eshwar that in ch37: The Obituary Colosseum.)
"Ho! Someone's excited." Core mumbled with a giggle.
"He sure is. Seems like he missed Eshwar a bit too much." Henry said and nodded his head in agreement.
"Well, that applies to all of us." Core said with a smile and received a nod in reply.
"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, a laughter was heard and they shook their heads without even having the need to look at the source of the maniacal laughter.
"Let's go, we'll miss out on the fun." Henry said with a sigh which was soon replaced by a wide savage grin with similarities to that of Eshwar's.
"Fufufu~" Core chuckled, teasingly.
WHOOSH
Two daggers appeared in Henry's hands; they were the ones he had picked up just a few hours before; they were orange striped daggers, and with a single glance, one could tell how well they were made and be mesmerized enough to compliment its maker's craftsmanship.
(AN: daggers from ch102: moving the pawns.)
BOOM
Henry launched himself at the vampires with a dagger in his hands and stabbed at the vampires who were reconnecting their heads to their bodies after Louie slashed and moved forward, ignoring them because he did his job and it was their job now.
SPLURT (5x)
SPLASH
The vampires hearts were pierced through with surgical precision, and as soon as those vampires hearts had stopped, their bodies turned bloody before splashing down on the ground.
"Hm?" Henry instantly frowned and glared at Kensa Bishop.
'This basta*d....' A twisted grin appeared on Henry's face as he girted his teeth.
[I think they've brought 'puppets' be careful.] Henry warned Core, Arngrim and Louie, telepathically.
[Noted.] All three of them replied instantly in unison.
"If Eshwar was here, it would have been over in an instant." Henry muttered.
"Speaking of him, where's that basta*d?" Arngrim suddenly spoke.
"I don't know" "knowing him" "he'll be fine." Core, Louie and Henry said, respectively, in unison as they continued each other's words.
"Hm... We'll let's finish this before he comes back." Arngrim nodded and grinned mischievously, Core, Louie, and Henry all returned the same mischievous grin and dashed in unison, despite the fact that they were right next to each other.
Henry, Core, Arngrim, and Louie charged at them while 10 step distance next to each other, their surroundings blurred as their attention was drawn entirely to the vampires.
[They're out.] Louie mentioned as those who appeared to be a hindrance stepped out of the ground, following Quinn's red blob. As soon as the last one stepped out, Louie confirmed to the others so that they could fight properly.
Arngrim, Henry, and Core all grinned as they heard the good news, and Core's weapons changed into a battle axe, which she swung down, vertically, with full force.
BOOM
A loud 'boom' resounded throughout the ground, and an 8-foot-long, vertical crater formed as a result of her strike, 'killing' two vampires and transforming 13 'puppets' into a, literal blood mass. Core used the axe's swing force to do a front flip with the axe's handle still in her hands and because of her petite body, her feet landed on the other edge of the axe head, which she quickly adjusted so that one foot is right behind the other, slightly bent down, and pushed down on the axe head.
CRA-CRACK (3x)
BOOM
The axe dug through the ground and was released from the force she applied on the axe head, which was swung down again from her back, the axe created a perfect purple circle around her before she threw vertically after doing a front flip once again.
SPLURT (16x)
SPLASH (20x)
The axe cut through everything in its path while spinning vertically, 'killing' 8 vampires and creating a red blood puddle by 'destroying' 20 vampire puppets in the process, she ignored the thrown axe and abruptly sidestepped towards Henry, who readily welcomed her with his daggers which he simply tossed in air before back-stepping, Core grabbed the daggers mid-air, clenched them tightly and continued to slash down the vampires while their eyes started to glow, Core's eyes gleamed bright purple, Henry's bright red, and Louie's bright orange, while Arngrim's eyes turned completely black.
"Strengthening, regeneration, recovery, haste, boost, minor barrier, energy burst." Quinn's mumbling was heard from behind, and soon Core's, Henry's, Louie's, and Arngrim's bodies burst out with a large amount of mana of their respective aura or mana colours, which were purple, red, orange, and black.
"Ho? Looks like somebody is back in game." Henry muttered with a slight smirk.
SPLURT (5x)
WHOOSH
SWISH (3x)
Arngrim's scythe appeared in front of Henry's eyes after slashing five vampires, spinning, Henry grabbed the scythe and swung around at the vampires, creating the same thin red hue around him just like Arngrim had done just a few minutes ago and started killing the vampires while destroying many vampire puppets in the process, but they were rising back up nonstop even though the strength behind them had decreased, and their numbers were a bit, just a teeny tiny bit, concerning.
Louie tossed his sword to his left, which Arngrim grabbed and continued his slaughter, while Louie crossed his arms in front of him and charged at the vampires.
BOOM
Louie launched himself at the vampires in a straight line, he instantly appeared in front an axe that was stuck on the wall with blood covering it completely, he held the grip tightly with his right hand, turned to face the vampires and slashed at them diagonally, spun using its force and swung the axe horizontally, which killed many vampires before launching a bright orange arc at them, their actions could judged as a cold blooded massacre, if the vampires didn't simply regenerate as if nothing happened.
"These basta*ds are getting a little annoying..." Louie mumbled with a cold smirk on his face.
Abruptly, Henry, Arngrim and Core halted their 'fun' stared at Louie cautiously with a awkward smile.
"I-It cn-can't be ri-right?" Core stuttered.
"Y-You're joking right?" Henry asked with as his lips twitched.
"...." however, Louie didn't reply as he glared at the vampires, simply with a cold smirk.
"B-Big Brother?" Arngrim stuttered and took a step back.
"Berserker." Louie mumbled, instantly, Core, Henry, and Arngrim immediately opened their eyes wide open in shock and dashed back, turning their backs on the vampires without any unnecessary thoughts.
"Sh*t!"
