Chapter 25: Snare
As had been proven time and time again, kind people were usually the naive ones and consequently the ones easier to fool and who mostly got fooled.
Kind and nice people usually got fooled and used not because they were stupid and couldn't consider the idea that they could be getting tricked but more because though they thought about it, they couldn't imagine it happening, especially when it was a sweet face.
Unable to imagine deceit, they subconsciously shut down the part of their brain that warms them of the danger and hence times without number fall for tricks, even the most obvious of ones till they learn how cruel the world is.
Well, Blake was long past that stage of kindness, the naive and foolish him had died a long time ago back when he was on earth and what had been transmigrated to this world was a very realistic Blake.
The second the door had been pushed open and the situation with Kate's berserk teammate had been explained, though the fact that his plans to plough the conserved woman's cunt had been destroyed was the first thing on his mind, his mind had been quick to turn suspicious and by the time the trio had run over to the place where the berserk man was, Blake could only let out a long sigh and facepalm mentally.
"I can't believe I let myself be involved in the plays of some lowly first-order being, and the worst thing is that even now that I know about it, I can't do a thing but play along, what a devious woman, I'm definitely killing her some time after we've fucked."
A place that had several stalls, a slightly dusty atmosphere, the sounds of fighting and attack being launched and the screams and shouts as people ran to safety and watched the ongoing show from a distance.
This was the place Blake and Kate had been brought to and seeing the genuine look of worry, confusion and guilt on the woman's face as she looked at the few men who were trying to contain a screaming and angry-looking man, Blake could only give her acting skills a mental ovation,
Blake remembered Kate's persistent questioning of his validity as a knight, her movement to the window and then now this sudden situation.
From what Blake was seeing of the man who had gone berserk and was recklessly releasing mana. charging and punching anything in his path, if he was to be stopped without any more casualties of life or destruction then he as a knight would have to intervene and in this way show his strength.
Kate's teammate whom Blake was sure was in on whatever plan she had cooked had made sure to bring them extremely close to the combat area, their position making them an attractive sight for the many townspeople who were fearfully watching at a distance and already Blake could feel the several eyes that had turned to him, the increased talks and screams of praise and relief at his arrival.
"I might as well just get this over with" Blake thought and saying nothing to the people beside him, he began calmly moving forward.
Amongst the several classes, in this world, other than the paladin and the rare warlock, no other could come close to providing the physical strength that the berserker class gave.
Immunity to pain, high body defence, regenerative abilities in some cases and the multiplication of one's strength.
These were the most prominent attributes of the berserker class and as Blake slowly approached the rampaging berserker in front of him, he couldn't help but have a look at his body stats and then his SP balance.
Wind blasts and punches were sent the berserker's way but he took them in like they were nothing and then dished out a physical attack that had his opponent crashing to the ground in pain.
Seeing the physical strength of the berserker, Blake could only curse at Kate and prepare himself to spend all his SP points on increasing his body attributes and despite the fact that the man in for not him was no first order being, in his berserker mode, Blake was sure that the man could crush him to a paste.
7100Sp, this was Blake's current SP balance after all the poundings he had done and now he could only prepare himself for the possibility of using it all if his plan A failed.
"I swear if I'm forced to spend these points, I'm going to screw Kate till I get every single one of it back," Blake promised.
With a pace that showed no fear, Blake's calm moving figure soon caught the attention of a man with long scattered hair, a few veins over his face and an angry expression, this man being the loose berserker.
The man let out a snare at Blake and then lifting the two axes in his hands up, he smashed them against each other and then sped towards Blake, holding his weapons to both his side.
[Fear aura]
An aura of rage and destruction emitted from the man as he charged toward Blake like an unstoppable bull his steps loud and wild, but then just as he was two steps away from Blake a look of fear appeared on his face and after his next step, he came to a complete halt and trembling vigorously he fell to his knees right before Blake, needing his arms to hold up his upper body.
The entire crowd went silent once this happened and then a second later after Blake observed the surrounding area he spoke in a chilling tone.
'If you ever lose control again, I will kill you."
With those words, Blake turned around and walked away, leaving the man kneeling there on the ground and shivering.
"Just to test my strength, she caused all this destruction and harmed several people, she's devious," Blake thought already thinking up some plans to deal with Kate.
