Chapter 64: Cheat code for the Berserk Pill
Ray couldn't see any immediate change in the undead dog; there was no sign of it going berserk.
He then instructed it to attack the nearby sofa, which the undead dog promptly obeyed and destroyed in just a few seconds.
"Really?" Ray frowned. "Attack me."
The Level One undead dog flinched and showed a trace of hesitation but still launched an attack.
Ray casually blocked the attack and assessed the strength of the undead dog.
"Hmm, it's stronger than before," Ray's eyes flashed with surprise.
He seemed to have found the cheat code in this berserk pill. Although it caused the being that consumed it to perish, if it was already dead, it couldn't die.
"If I can use this for a Level Two undead, like Ravine," Ray's eyes brightened considerably, and he decisively said, "Cancel."
The undead dog returned to the realm of undead or which he preferred to call the realm of the dead, and Ray summoned the Raven.
The raven materialised with an imposing presence, filling the room with its massive wingspan and powerful aura.
It was even larger than Ray, its strong wings stretching out and its lustrous black feathers gleaming with intricate, unknown patterns.
The room felt much smaller than it actually is because of the bird.
It possessed all the abilities of the alive Level Two Raven, including the bloodline of the first bird, the Archaeopteryx.
This ancient bird from the dinosaur era was considered an early evolution of birds in history.
Ray hadn't expected the study to be proven correct.
He casually fed the red pill to the raven. As anticipated, there was no immediate reaction, but the power it exerted should have at least doubled for ten minutes.
Ray felt the drain on his mutation energy; it took 10 Mutation Energy per minute to maintain the raven, which wasn't too bad especially considering its strength, it could even help in fighting king especially with the Berserk Pill.
Just as he was about to test the raven's abilities, someone knocked on his door.
"What is it?" Ray frowned.
"King is here, Ray," came Seraphine's voice from outside.
"Finally," Ray stood up, looking through the window as if his gaze could penetrate the wall and see King.
….
"Where are the guards?" Argo frowned as he looked around the place with a bad premonition in his heart.
There was no one guarding the wall.
King didn't speak, his eyes narrowed. He turned to Elyon, who was skinny and wore round glasses.
"What happened, Elyon?"
"Boss, I… I don't know," Elyon replied hesitantly, his eyes filled with fear as he glanced at the bulky man.
"Didn't you make the wall with your Awakening skill?" King's body radiated a sharp killing intent, making Elyon's legs go numb, nearly causing him to fall to the ground in fear.
Elyon bowed his head and stammered, "Boss… boss… I really don't know."
"Forget it."
King would have already killed this brat if his Awakening skill were not useful.
He lightly stepped on his head and said, "Your girlfriend was very tasty, so I am sparing you for now. You still have some use."
Elyon involuntarily stopped trembling but continued to bow, sweating profusely. There was deep-seated resentment hidden in his eyes.
"Thank you, boss."
Argo snickered from the side, "Pathetic bastard."
King looked at the tall and strong walls with a fierce expression.
"Seraphine."
He shouted loudly, his voice powerful and reverberating throughout the place.
"Come out!" King shouted, his voice echoing with a commanding force that seemed to ripple through the air.
With his eyes closed, King relied on his Awakened skill to interpret the sound waves he had just generated. Each pulse of his voice sent out waves that bounced back from the walls and the ground, allowing him to detect subtle changes in the environment.
He could tell the number of people and their positions just from this.
This was the ability he had previously used to fight Ray and shoot him through the walls, almost taking his life if not for the Physique upgrade. But now Ray could recover from grave injuries as long as there was energy left in his body.
Twenty-four points in Physique and Vitality were not a joke.
"Yeah, King." Seraphine slowly walked up to the upper walls and looked down at King.
"Open the gate for me."
"No," she spoke lightly. The gate, having been repaired within a week, was an easy task after being broken by Ray.
King's expression fluctuated, his body revealing a murderous intent.
"Are you really going to betray me, Seraphine? Do you know the consequences?" His expression turned ferocious.
Seraphine calmly uttered, "Yes."
But her back was already soaked in cold sweat, and her hand, hidden behind her sleeve, was trembling.
She had seen the horror of King before.
"Good, good."
King nodded his head, his expression gradually becoming more and more ferocious.
"Sage Art:..."
King extended his palm forward, aiming directly at Seraphine, making her expression change slightly.
"Resonance Canon."
The moment he uttered it, a vibration spread from his palm at the speed of sound, shooting towards her.
Boom!
Almost half of the gate was blown away by the enraged King.
As the dust settled, Seraphine emerged, relatively unharmed.
A light blue armour adorned her, with two ethereal feathers draping her ears. Her armour was half shattered, and her arm hung fractured from just this single move.
"I have to say, you've improved, Seraphine," King remarked, raising his eyebrows. "But what gives you the courage to dare stand in my way?"
"I'm not fighting you," Seraphine responded calmly.
"Then who—"
Zhhh!
A spear entirely made of lightning shot toward him. King sneered in disdain.
"Sage Arts: Domain Protection."
The lightning spear dissipated before reaching him, absorbed by an invisible barrier. The energy dispersed harmlessly into the air, leaving King standing untouched.
"I wonder who is so brave?"
"Remember me, King?" Ray slowly walked out with a smile on his face.
"You?" King's eyes flashed with disbelief. "Shouldn't you be dead?"
"Did you really think that just a sniper with some ordinary people and those three brothers could kill me?" Ray looked at King. "I could kill you before, and I can kill you now."
"Wasn't your awakening E-class skill body-strengthening?"
