Glutton Berserker ~ The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels - Chapter 90: The Dead’s Numbe

A Holy Knight Night walker. It’s power was beyond expectation.

It punched me in the gut with such haste. I wasn’t able to react properly as I’m also carrying Mimir at the moment.

My figure never escaped its beast-like eyes.

Rolled up from the floor with fists clenched, it struck squarely upon my stomach.

The incredible impact almost caused me to lose consciousness. My grip upon Mimir loosened.

I let Mimir off of me, and had myself flung away backward, breaking through the ceiling, then wall upon wall. By the time I regained my consciousness, my body was breaking through the outer wall of the research facility.

While I was floating on the air, I couldn’t help but to marvel upon the power of the turned Nightwalker Hado.

Greed spoke to me via《Mind reading》

『He’s an Area E』

『What surprised me more is. You could’ve gone away already back then. From here on there will be people looking. You really still have a long way to go.』

In my case, the only way to enter Area E was through unleashing Gluttony skill. Greed always implied that there are several other ways to achieve it.

Even during the audience with the King, there were those Area E guards. To have two of them there, only convinced me more.

However, it’s hard for me to accept that this nighwalker is actually an Area E.

[Area E is an existence that equal the living disaster Tenryu. It’s impossible to be brought down by anyone under that level. Moreover, it can increase its number by biting its victim…..if such an individual is rampaging on the kingdom]

『The capital will be a dead town in a blink of an eye.』

Dammit. Adding to that, Mimir is also still inside the facility.

Looking to the back, I found that I was flung to the facility next door. Very well, let’s use this as a foothold…..

Following me, Hado came in a tremendous speed. I wasn’t able to make the building wall as a jumping stand to evade. There is no helping it, since the timing is bad.

Hado’s fist struck my head.

[Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!]

[Kuuh]

Again! I wasn’t able to contend with Hado’s momentum, and ended up going inside the facility after breaking through the wall.

Breaking more walls and ceilings, and eventually ending up outside once more.

I managed to land a kick to Hado’s stomach, and aiming on that gap, I kicked at his chin.

[Fate, fate, fate, what a persistent bastard]

As I managed to get some distance, I rolled back a cut vertically with my black sword. I could feel that it hit something.

I landed next to the prone Hado. While looking at the situation, I noticed that I’ve lost something.

The skull mask. I thought I still had it up until a while ago, but where did it go? Was it accidentally dropped while I was thrown through the facility? While I was thinking about it, I noticed that what I’m looking for is in the mouth of Hado who had gotten back up.

Hado roared after chewing the skull mask off. The wound that I thought to be fatal has been healed as if time has been rewound.

I brandished the black sword, pointing the tip towards Hado.

This pose, Myne said that it was my trademark.

What now, Hado. I could already hear the noises of soldiers and holy knights about to arrive on the scene.

Everyone other than me, was taken aback by the turned Hado.

[What in the world….is this.]

[Hado Burix-sama, what’s the matter?]

The current Hado, sniffed around, like a dog that is looking for food.

Could it be!?

[Stay away! You guys, stay away from him!]

[What are you saying? And who are you? I haven’t seen your face before.]

They won’t listen to what I said. They didn’t seem to know who I am. Well, I am the successor of the Barbatos family, but those arrogant holy knight twerps didn’t seem to know my face.

Then there is no other choice but use force. I have to act before Hado could do anything.

Thinking so, I went to approach them, but Hado beat me by one step.

I grabbed one of the guards, and toss him away. I had to be careful so that he won’t die. Meanwhile, Hado took that chance to pounce at other people.

Blood splattered and scream erupted.

Then, while Hado licked its lips, it confiscated two holy swords from the fallen holy knights. The holy swords started to shine a pale light.

In other words, it has used the cancelled midcast of《Grand Cross》technique, greatly improving the sword’s attack power.

[Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate]

Tossing away another guards, I blocked the incoming dual holy sword attack.

[Ku, it’s heavy]

[Fate, Fate, Fate]

His movement is sharper than before. Also the strength…..did it perhaps, became stronger after drinking blood?

After I treated Aisha-sama, my stats has declined quite greatly. I wonder if I can handle it as of now…

I hardened my clench at the black sword, and pushed Hado away. Behind it, the holy knights that were supposed to have died, slowly rose to their feet.

And then, as if they have a thought on their own, they scattered to different directions. Oh dear….if I let them be, the whole military district might end up overwhelmed by Night walkers.

On the other hand, Hado didn’t let me get off of him. Moreover, even if I managed to kill them, the gluttony skill will eat the degraded souls, and I’ll ended up taking damage myself.

I can’t possibly handle this alone.

At that moment, a man who cut the night walker down appeared. I felt a wash of relieve on my heart when I heard the voice and see that man’s appearance.

[Fate, sorry for being late. It took a while to get the official permission from the king. You seem to have a hard time handling this.]

[Aaron!]

He aimed at Hado, waving a holy sword that shine with brilliance, slashing and tear at its back. Blood splashed, Hado’s power weakened and I was able to avoid its sideways slash. Aaron joined me then.

Yes, Aaron has also stepped into Area E just like me. After that fight on Hausen, it appear that a bond was formed within us. Thus, when I achieved Area E during my fight against Tenryu, Aaron also experienced a change.

Somehow, he heard an inorganic voice inside his head which told him about stats recalculation, followed by the feeling of his body being reconstructed. When he checked himself with Appraisal skill, what appeared was strange numberings he had never seen before.

After defeating Tenryu, I was surprised when I reunited with Aaron back at Hausen. He’s originally a very strong old man already, and now that he gained this tremendous power up, he became an even more energetic old man.

[This reminds me of the time when we fought the Lich Lord. Hey Fate, don’t you think the situation is quite similar to back then. I thought you need to land the finishing blow due to the Gluttony skill. What’s the matter?]

[I wish I can. If I defeat this nightwalkers myself, the gluttony skill will eat their deteriorated soul. It’ll only damage myself.]

Hado’s soul seemed to have deteriorated even worse than those goblins. If I were to eat it, I might end up dying…..

[In that case, it’ll be a real battle for the first time in a while. My hands are itching…..are you ready, Fate?]

[Yes]
