The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 651: What Is This?

Meanwhile, Lin Yiyi and her group were still waiting for Suuankou.

“He is taking too long.” Lin Yiyi complained, “I understand that he went to replenish ammunition… but if he can’t catch up with the group, he shouldn’t have said he would. So, should we wait for him or not?”

“We should look for him first.” Citalopram suggested in a low voice, “Something might have happened, given the delay. Since Suuankou didn’t call for our help, that means that even if he encounters some trouble, it’s probably not serious. However, it could also be he is in deep trouble, and there’s no use for panic. In any case, we don’t need to assist him.”

“It’s better for us to go in and search around first. If we wait too long and the people inside find out their leader is dead, they might just take off with the stuff and run.”

Some critical information or valuable materials may be stolen or burned by that time.

“You’re right, Sister Wen Xue!” Jiu’er exclaimed, eyes wide, as she playfully punched her left palm with her right fist and cheered loudly, “Clever move!”

“Don’t run away, come here…” Seeing Jiu Er’s exaggerated actions, Citalopram suddenly lost her temper.

She grabbed Jiu’er’s ear in a huff and vigorously shook her head from side to side—as if trying to shake some sense into her.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

Jiu Er felt a bit dizzy from all the shaking, her head spinning like a scrambled egg, and she let out a groaning whimper.

Lin Yiyi watched the lively scene in enjoyment.

Citalopram patted her head in annoyance and said, “Then, your punishment is to lead the battle.”

“No problem!” Jiu Er raised her axe confidently, “Are we going in now?”

“Yes.” Citalopram didn’t even adopt her spirit form.

She pointed forward, “Jiu Er, charge!”

“—At least let me shout my warning, okay?” Jiu Er complained, but she picked up her axe obediently and charged toward the back door of the farm ahead.

Jiu Er took a deep breath.

As if being doused with fuel, Jiu Er’s abdomen beneath her clothes suddenly burst into a scarlet flame.

The curse power surged from the curse mark and spread throughout the body.

Her leg muscles twitched abnormally, and she started to sweat a faint shade of red, exhibiting an incredible speed humans should not possess.

This was the improved skill she obtained after she advanced to Blood Eater.

[Death Charge LV7: Blood Eaters possess unparalleled vitality unmatched beyond Berserkers, allowing them to push their hearts and muscles to the limit. Immediately consume 50% of Health as fuel to launch a furious charge against the enemies. After this skill ends, you can immediately activate “Berserk”.]

[Effect after acquiring LV4: When the charge ends, you will be blessed with an additional 15 seconds of the “Berserk” effect without consuming the “Berserk” skill charges.]

[Effect after acquiring LV7: Your charge attack becomes unstoppable.]

[Berserk] was Berserker’s unique skill, which came after the [All-out Blow] attained maximum level.

Berserker had lower attributes in [Constitution] and [Will]. Based on these attributes, Berserker could only gain one charge per rest. The rest allowed them to apply an additional 100% power boost to any action, significantly increasing his strength.

Compared with the skill [All-out Blow], which only granted a 30% damage bonus, the Berserk state’s attack boost was as high as 100%.

Moreover, the [All-out Blow] itself delivered one heavy blow limited to heavy attacks in swordsmanship, like downward slashes, leaping slashes, or momentum slashes.

On the other hand, [Berserk] wasn’t limited to increasing the damage of the next attack by 100%. Instead, any other subsequent actions would go through a [Strength Check] with the user’s strength doubled. This meant that the effect would be applied to any action that required strength, including choking, strangling, grappling, breaking free from hold, and even lifting or throwing heavy objects.

That explained why only the Berserkers possessed the [Berserk] skill was considered a true Berserker.

Jiu Er had acquired this skill back in the Noah Kingdom’s capital.

At that time, Jiu Er had a crushing advantage against ordinary people and Bronze Rank transcenders. After activating the [Berserk] state, she was as formidable as the hands of Noxus. There was no point in blocking her attacks.

She swung her axe in a sweeping arc, cleaving through shielded enemies and anyone behind them in two. If she swung vertically, it wasn’t just a matter of cutting them in half… it was more like smashing their heads into their chests.

She had wielded this steel axe for quite some time.

The current state of the axe could no longer be described by its sharpness. It was full of notches and dents. However, it could still be an axe instead of an iron club.

Jiu Er would find a wolf-tooth club [1] easier to use since she hadn’t undergone strict military training. However, it wouldn’t look cool, in her opinion.

There was a saying that strength was a temporary pursuit, but being cool last forever.

However, the weapon had killed too many people.

Jiu Er might be the player with the highest number of kills. The experience she gained from killing could boost her level by two.

This was her reward for working part-time as a “Special Technical Consultant” at Gray Swan Security Company.

However, the Berserker’s ability to freeze the health value was formidable. The more fearless she was, the harder it was to kill her.

Jiu Er’s proficiency in axe was honed slowly by destroying these gang members.

Her proficiency was thoroughly “hands-on”.

Thus, she had rich experience in this kind of siege battle.

Jiu Er darted to the enemy like a comet.

She held the axe and struck heavily on the wooden wall about fifty meters away.

Without a mistake, she charged into the wall instead of the door.

However, it was more like crashing into the wall than a charge. Both her feet were off the ground. Her limbs pressed against the wall like a cat.

Watching it in slow motion would make her seem cute.

However, the people inside the building would think differently.

There was only a loud “boom” that even shook the ground.

It looked like a three-story wooden building resembling a warehouse crumbling into dust. Instead of describing it as someone charging on the wall, it was more like a fully-loaded truck had crashed into it.

As Jiu Er crashed into the thick wooden wall, she left behind a vertical crack.

That wasn’t just a wooden board. It was a thick wall made of processed logs and strong adhesive, like those found in wilderness cabins, whose defensive strength was strong enough to withstand solid iron cannonballs.

However, under Jiu Er’s reckless charge, the wall cracked open a gap half a person’s width.

The chaotic splinters of wood left Jiu Er bleeding as well.

However, Jiu Er was unfazed by it.

Anyway, she had already turned off her sense of pain, and these wooden splinters only inflicted superficial wounds. She hardly lost any health points, and the damage didn’t trigger her passive abilities.

Jiu Er struggled and completely ignored those splinters, putting all her strength into moving herself out of the wall gap.

Some people in the building were already lying down to rest, and some were still working.

When they saw Jiu Er and heard the loud noise, they were all terrified.

“What…what is this?” Someone blurted out.

Jiu Er’s terrifying appearance was shocking, making their mind go blank. No one dared to go forward.
