Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~ Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Battle

Chapter 169 – Battle

The whole city was encased within a red wall, as if we’re inside the belly of a living creature .

[It’s already begun . Now how will you two stop us?]

I was able to share Greed’s memory and knowledge thanks to Crossing .

(s.h.i.+nn, he is… . He is trying to pry open the door to his land by using the people of Hauzen above ground as sacrifices . )

Sacrifices . And Hauzen was situated right on top of Grandeur .

He’s most likely going to extend his red liquid above ground and use that to kill people .

Then jam the large number of souls he will have murdered at the door to his land to force it open .

[You just have to busy yourself fighting Myne . In the meantime, I’ll use your loved ones as sacrifices to further my goal . ]

[Don’t mess with me!]

[Isn’t this what you do best, Gluttony? Killing people makes you stronger after all, am I correct? Right now, what I need for the last push to open the door is a good amount of human souls . ]

s.h.i.+nn, now nothing more than a huge red glob, said so as he floated towards the artificial sun .

Eris kept shooting at him in the meantime, but his red tentacles got in the way .

[Useless . I’ve been working hard toward this for such a long time . Do you think such attacks will be able to stop me? What can an indecent woman who’s only good at charming others do?]

When I tried to move to stop s.h.i.+nn, Myne was there to block me .

[Your opponent is her . Don’t forget, Gluttony . Mortal sin skill holders should try to get along with each other . ]

Eris shot faster, but all it did was impeding s.h.i.+nn slightly . Her firepower was lacking to truly stop him .

Even so, time was still ticking . I need to disable Myne as soon as possible .

[Myne!]

Deflecting the black axe, I slashed with my black sword .

But my movement was easily read, as she dodged with ease .

Yet I noticed that she was faster than before . Sloth’s weight should’ve been starting to impede her by now .

Then I realized that something has changed in Myne .

The two horns on her forehead had somehow grown longer . And they emitted faint light .

(Wrath skill is entering its next phase . Just like Gluttony skill, Wrath skill causes the holder to become stronger the more angry they are . Along with that, heart and sensation will continue to be dulled down . At some point it’ll be impossible to snap Myne out of it . ]

[How long till Myne truly lost herself?]

(You should’ve known this already . Myne had no sense of taste . That was the effect of Wrath skill . She lost her sense of taste when she rampaged a long time ago… But perhaps she actually lost more than that already . )

Despite Sloth’s weight, Myne’s attack actually grew stronger .

The speed loss handicap from wielding Sloth was negated by the Wrath skill .

The two were basically complementing each other . Their effects synergized outstandingly .

Heavy attacks, but coupled with masterful wielding and topnotch speed .

It was almost the opposite of me, who lacked speed and relied more on simple but strong attacks .

Unable to keep up, I was forced to be defensive .

[This is bad!]

If this continued on, I’d stuck on a vicious circle .

Because Myne’s attack frequency had doubled as of now .

(I know you don’t want to hurt Myne, but we can’t stay like this either . I’ll revert back the black sword’s sharpness)

[Don’t . I’m here to stop Myne, not to kill each other . ]

(You’ll become her training sandbag at this rate . )

[Still . ]

Eris’ phantom bullet had produced 5 clones of myself as distractions .

But all five were smashed in a single strike .

(If you don’t do anything, you’ll end up like them . )

I’m sorry again .

Despite that, Eris shot another phantom bullet at me .

While fighting to stop s.h.i.+nn’s progress, she was also watching over me .

(She’s always been like that since the past . Always looking after for others without hesitation . )

She did say that she’s been watching me since back in the capital when I hadn’t even awakened my Gluttony skill . Without her, I probably might not even meet Greed .

In any case, thanks to the distraction provided by the illusions, I was able to mount a counter attack .

A strike to Myne’s right arm .

I apologized inwardly, since it’s a rather powerful slash .

There was a reaction . Myne’s grip on Sloth loosened down .

(If we can keep this going, she’ll soon drop Sloth . )

[Yeah . ]

But it was a trap . Myne pretended to loosen her grip on Sloth to lure me in .

It wasn’t even a clean hit . But when I realized that, I was about to be caught in an explosion .

[Wha!?]

Greed quickly reacted by turning into black s.h.i.+eld, preventing a direct hit .

Even so, I could feel the bones on my left arm breaking despite me standing behind a s.h.i.+eld that was big enough to cover my entire body .

Was that the 《Noir Destructo》?

Sloth’s secret art that converts its acc.u.mulated weight into destructive power . I saw this move only once when we fought Haniel, and that blow managed to vaporize the creature’s lower body .

This time around, 《Noir Destructo》 was released after acc.u.mulating a lot of weight in addition to having been immersed in Wrath skill .

Even with Greed’s steadfast black s.h.i.+eld――the shockwave still went through its absolute defense .

The auto recovery skill and auto recovery boost skill immediately started to mend my broken left arm .

Myne certainly wouldn’t miss such an opening .

It was too late for me to dodge, so I could only defend with the black s.h.i.+eld .

(This is bad . If she uses Sloth’s secret once more, you’ll be done with . )

With one arm disabled, it’ll be hard for me to keep fighting .

At this rate, I had no choice but to rely on Greed’s secret despite that means I’d be losing a lot of stats .

In response to Myne’s 《Noir Destructo》, I activated Greed’s third form’s secret 《Reflection Fortress》 .

This secret move was supposed to be able to reflect an attack back to the enemy by two folds .

[What!?]

Normally, the secret should be a perfect counter for Myne’s destructive strikes .

But when it comes to mortal sin weapons’ secrets, then things won’t go as normal .

Yes, it’ll depend on power .

Which one has more power between Myne’s 《Noir Destructo》 and my 《Reflection Fortress》…that’s all there is to it .

But if that’s the case, then Myne would’ve won by a landslide .

After all, power was the basis of her battle style .

[We’ll lose…]

Even now, Wrath skill continuously strengthened Myne further .

The black s.h.i.+eld was slowly getting overwhelmed . If left as it is, 《Noir Destructo》 would hit me directly .

(Fate, release the Gluttony skill!)

WuxiaWorld . Site Only

I can’t afford to release more than this . I’ve entered the semi starving state from the very beginning of the battle by releasing half of Gluttony skill power .

If I fully released it, then the Gallia incident might repeat . I won’t be able to stop Myne cause I’ll end up as a rampaging uncontrollable monster .

Moreover there’s that promised to Aaron that I will return alive .

Not yet, I can’t afford to unleash the Gluttony skill completely now .

However, it’s not like I don’t have anyone to lean on .

[Luna, please help me!]

As I called out that name, 《Noir Destructo》 finally overwhelmed the black s.h.i.+eld .

The destructive power was tremendous, craters started appearing on the ground even before the axe landed .

The surrounding buildings collapsed due to the shockwave, but somehow, I was still standing there .

A blue barrier had been formed around me . A number of blue flames...o...b..ted around the barrier, solidifying the protection .

Seeing the barrier, Myne stepped back .

[Myne, just like I said, I’m not fighting alone here . ]

[Luna…]

Despite being engulfed in Wrath’s skill, the name of her sister still leaked out from Myne’s mouth .
