Chapter 197: Berserk part 3
Chapter 197: Berserk part 3
After draining almost half of my entire energy, the weapon's heart finally sated it's a hunger for my mana, taking the solid shape similar to my current weapon of choice, utopy. While the shape was roughly the same, I didn't need to have my mind clear to see how superior it was to anything I have crafted before!
If one were to classify it by the ease of transmitting my mana through it, it should be called a wand instead of a sword! While it was normal considering how the entire body of this weapon consisted of my solidified energy, I couldn't wrap my head around how did this sword ever come to be!
I guess the world is still a mystery to me. Not knowing what this mana or energy even is, I couldn't claim to understand how certain processes were taking place. The notification about entropic poisoning was on a whole new level of reminding me how little did I know about the base structures and inner workings of this world!
Thanks to this strange sword sucking about a half of my entire reservoir of mana, I could feel my vision clarifying, but my thoughts remained as disturbed as they were before. Thanks to that, I can finally see how the Katenari's elder and his butler from the Draconic Sabre sect are both clutching their throats while hanging in the air as if some kind of invisible hand was lifting them by their necks.
Feeling of watching them despair in their death is honey to my eyes. I can show everyone what happens to those who dare to pose any risk to me or my beloved one!
When I'm close enough to finally raise my sword with the intention to struck down the elder, my tunnelled vision suddenly clears up, with the murderous thoughts finally leaving my head. Only then did I notice the terrified expression on both Venna and Eve!
Did I just try to kill an elder of the Katenaris? What the hell is wrong with me? Even if I would be able to do so, their retaliation would erase me from the face of this planet! No matter how much I hate them, I'm still not at the stage where I could directly challenge them!
With this thought in my mind, I try to lower my hand, only to discover that some force in my mind is blocking this from happening!
"Bl0p!"
"C0//5ltUTl0N R4l5ED!"
Wait, why is Bonger still acting like some emo kid? Is this the influence of this entropic poisoning? Why I don't really know what does it mean, I at least earned that it can influence the very basis that my system operates on! That's what I get from raising my stats too quickly and without a proper thought!
Even though I would love to get rid of the effects that are still influencing my actions, I have no idea what else I could do. Since my wish to increase my constitution finally went through, that meant that I don't have any attribute points left! I can only hope that someone will break this stalemate now!
"Bart!"
Unable to change my body position at all, I can only move my eyes to the side, just in time to see Eve's face suddenly turning white as my whole consciousness started to fade as well. Before I lost my senses once more, I felt that the back of my head hit the stone floor before the darkness overwhelmed me once again.
*******
Opening my eyes, I can see a vast and lush garden with flowers and trees that I have never seen in my life before. While I can't recognise the lifeforms that are feeding off the grass and quenching their thirst in the heavenly clear water of the small stream cutting across this place, I can remember the feeling that this area induces in me.
Taking a look around, I swiftly locate a lifeless body, lying on the grass nearby, with a flock of curious animals surrounding it. Standing up, I approach the body only to see that it's Eve! How the hell did she enter the world of my visions?! Ah, fuck this! Why is she unconscious! That's an important question!
"Are you really sure you want to wake her up?"
Just as I managed to place my fingers on her soft cheek, I heard a voice coming from somewhere withing this lush garden. Instantly turning around, I try to locate its source, but the coldness of Eve's body swiftly takes back my attention. Placing my ear over her mouth, I watch whether her breasts are moving.
Thank God! She is still breathing!
"What do you mean by that? I don't want to keep any secrets from her!"
Despite not knowing where did this voice came from, I honestly answer. My entire reason for being happy in this world is lying lifelessly in front of me, why would I want to watch her in this horrifying state for even a single second longer?
"Good."
With these words reverberating through my ears, I can see my love finally opening her eyes, only to grace me with the look of her skylike pupils.
"Where are we?"
As she gathers herself from the ground with a lifeless look in her charming eyes, she rubs them for a moment, only to freeze, take her hands out of her eyes and look at me with a panicky expression.
"Bart!
As she launches both of her hands forward, I'm readying myself for the hit. After all, from what I remember, I turned into quite a monster back then. It wouldn't be a strange thing if she started despising me for that!
Just when I'm preparing myself for the worst, I can feel her arms falling down on my shoulders, as she pulls herself into my embrace!
"I was soo worried!"
From her silent sobbing, muffled by Eve burying her face in my neck, I can fathom how hard of a time I gave her. While I would love to know what had really happened back there, I know that our time in this place is very limited, so we need to make the best use of it!
"Eve, listen to me. We are merely in the world of my visions, where I gained a better understanding of the will of the world before. It's thanks to those visions that I was able to push our cultivation forward back in the sect! We can't waste any time! I don't know what's happening to me in the real world, but I don't think I will be ever able to control myself if we fail to reach greater heights now!"
