Chapter 173: Crazy Lashing Tree Monster
Adam\'s memories got completely rewritten.
It was like he had returned to that day. The day of the betrayal.

"Y-yeah, you\'re right..." Jake nodded hesitantly.
Renee licked her dry lips, but then heard something behind her.

\'What\'s that?\'
"Renee, focus!" Noel screamed.

Adam, with sword in right and shield in left, took a strong step forward.
Strangely enough, his veins were pulsing around his arms like snakes slithering beneath his skin, emitting reddish radiance as if his body were on fire.

It had received the name of Berserker State or Lethal Rage.
In this state, a person wouldn\'t be able to tell friend from foe, and those who had undergone this state often had no recollection of their actions afterward and instead found all of their enemies and friends brutally slain afterward.

The back of Adam\'s jacket ripped open, and his exposed back looked like it was swelling, and then strange wing-like appendages burst out from his skin.
Those "wings" started to look more like the petals of a flower-red and orange-and around eight of those petals sprouted from his back, making him look like some kind of mystical creature.

[Second Mystery, Berserker Rage, has been unraveled!]
[Berserker Rage: Its state originated from the Little God, who was once known as the Angry God of Tantrums. Whenever He threw a temper tantrum, the world trembled in fear, and disasters would befall the land.

[When He finally reached adulthood, the Angry God of Tantrums mellowed out and became a peaceful deity, eventually receiving the title of the Little God.
[While the Angry God of Tantrums no longer exists, His famous Berserker Rage is still part of every single living human being]

"W-what the fuck are those on his back?" Renee asked, thinking that those wings looked very beautiful. "He wasn\'t supposed to be able to use any skills!"

Unfortunately, while this place was hidden nicely, there was only one exit, and Adam was currently standing right in front of it!
There was no escape!

"Don\'t move an inch, Adam, or your friend will die!" Noel screamed.
Renee and Jake also moved behind Terry.

\'Amelia?\' Terry didn\'t know who that was. \'Is he talking to me?\'
Adam put his arms close to his chest, and then his wings sprouted outwards, and with one leap forward, he soared across the cave like a majestic eagle.

Adam placed the flower-petaled wings in front of him like a shield and rammed straight into the four people, sending all of them flying through the air like ragdolls.
Their backs crashed against the enormous tree, leaving them dazed and confused on the ground.
-I"I dnee to ese"a...cp Rneee stdoo up htwi reh llekyejil- Iseg, ebraly ebal to dnats. "llW\'e di"...e
One of the orange, flower-petaled wings shot forward and impaled through Renee\'s chest, nailing her into the tree like a bizarre crucifixion.
"A-ah!" Renee gasped in pain and shock.

Then, the left-sided wings unfolded and slashed through Jake with their razor-sharp edges, leaving him lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
He was still alive-barely.

He hoped that at least one would hit.
The left-sided wings opened up in front of the needles and blocked all of the hundred tiny, poison-clad needles.

"Calamity, I didn\'t expect you to be this weak."
Adam said, then, with his unfurled wings, flew at Noel, grabbed him by the throat, and
slammed him against the tree with ferocious force.

Adam pulled back his head and then headbutted him straight on the nose, breaking it and
causing blood to gush out.
The three friends were now all gasping in pain.

Jake was nearly unconscious. If left unattended, he would die in a couple of minutes.
"G-god damn it..." Noel mumbled through clenched teeth as he struggled to stay conscious and figure out what to do next.

"Now, one last person~" Adam turned to the tied-up Terry, a look of terror in his eyes.
He tried to scream for Adam to stop as he realized that he wasn\'t in the right state of mind as he was clearly thinking that he was someone else!

Adam pulled out his sword from Noel\'s chest, letting him fall to the ground, and then
crouched in front of Terry, ignoring his tied-up state, and just coldly looked down at him while his wings moved behind him in a mesmerizing dance.
"Amelia, I should\'ve seen it. I should\'ve known that you were a snake. Why was I so blind?"

"Amelia..." Adam frowned and lowered his head with an unfocused look. "Wait, didn\'t you just join Crimson Hounds? No, we\'re part of Platinum Mercenaries, or am I?"
Slowly, the face of Amelia vanished, and it was replaced by Terry\'s teary visage. re?y""Tr admA oodkel at him in oskch nda ylciuką omdeerv sih motuh ga.g "Are you trl?h"gai
"Ah..." Terry breathed in relief. "Y-you remember me? What the heck was that?"
"Uh..." Adam touched his head, and it felt like he had a pounding headache. nehW he unretd ot Ikoo ta het oethr eeh ethr still saw tCaml, aiy os, Niklha and .Lisa
"What in the world is going on?" Adam frowned and then turned back to Terry. With his sword, he cut off his ropes and set him free.

"Wings? What the fuck..."
"Let\'s leave." Terry said, after finally being cut free. "You\'ve been poisoned!"

"The teacher can still cure you; we need to go now!"
Adam stood up, but before leaving, he turned to look at the three bleeding bodies lying on
the ground.

"Adam, we need to go!"
At that moment, the whole cave started shaking, and the roots of the tree burst out from
the ground. They moved like whips and started lashing at everything in sight.

Adam frowned.
Near the enormous tree, a healthbar interface appeared out of nowhere.
