Undying Berserker

Chapter 97 - One vs Many

“What kind of weapons are we going to use?”

“You can use your sword. They will come with real weapons as well. I wish you good luck.”

Reina wasn’t someone who would lie and despite her calm demeanor that she usually shows, it was quite obvious that she meant what she said. That put Zelos on a bad spot, but in the end, there wasn’t much that he could do aside from being thankful for the chance to gain a lot of battle experience pretty fast. To make things more worth the...

Chapter 96 - Attunement

“... What I can’t do here while I meditate?” 

“I would be thankful if you didn’t dirt the place with anything unusual.”

“Then, I will bring a box of food and a jug of water to use it here. Will it be fine?”

“Will you maintain your meditation state while doing all that?”

“There is only one way to find out.”

It was pretty hard to imagine that Zelos would be able to do that, but he had an idea of what he should do to avoid some issues. O...

Chapter 95 - Willpower

At first, Zelos didn’t do anything; he just cleaned himself in Reina’s office and then rested and ate when he was hungry. When he had to, he went to look after Nightstorm and soon he would return to the office.

Now and then, Reina would open her eyes and raise her eyebrows while studying Zelos without saying a thing, but soon, she would return to her meditation. Things stayed like that for two days until she decided to leave and eat something outside. Zelos followed her.

The s...

Chapter 94 - Test

While vexing, it couldn’t be helped that Zelos needed help to make a large business like that. Once a tomato is ripe and ready to be consumed, its lifespan can vary depending on several factors. Storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight can help extend their shelf life.

If the tomato is fully ripe, it will generally last for about 3-5 days at room temperature. If it’s slightly under ripe, it can last longer, sometimes up to a week or more. Tomatoes are delicate fru...

Chapter 93 - The Next Step

“Why do I have to suffer so much just to make your life easier?” 

In the end, Nightstorm didn’t say anything, he just looked pretty full of himself while snorting. While Zelos waited for a reply from Liry, he did his best to improve the main building of the farm, and he checked that everything was on a rainy night, so soon he began to work on building the greenhouse as well. 

While his knowledge of that field was limited, he had some idea of what he needed to do to...

Chapter 92 - Business Plans

“Did you already finish the first stages of the farm, kid? I am impressed. You certainly don’t waste time.”

“Time is money, and you can buy time with some money as well, to some extent. Anyway, I need your help to contact people who could sell some apple trees of high-quality samplings as well. I heard that finding them in the capital would be easier, but…”

“You heard it right. The soil there is perfect for them. I heard that there are some people that can make them ...

Chapter 91 - Making Progress or Not?

Apparently, Reina was self-taught, too, so Zelos would learn the most since the others already had their foundation in fighting. He didn’t dislike the idea, but he didn’t like the idea that he was becoming part of someone else’s plan.

In the end, one week passed since Zelos received the letter and on that day, he finished planting all the potato seeds. While he was stretching his body, he felt like he needed a break… not even his horses worked more than him, after all.

“...

Chapter 90 - Future Plans

The pace of events was accelerating, pushing Zelos to adapt quicker than he had anticipated. Circumstances beyond his control were demanding immediate action, leaving little room for his meticulously planned timeline.

This sudden shift left Zelos feeling unsettled. He knew the importance of patience and thorough planning, especially in matters as significant as business ventures. Yet, the pressing demands of the present situation forced him to reconsider his approach.

In the end, ...

Chapter 89 - Rewards

Although Zelos shared Heirina’s feelings, they couldn’t say much since their society was flawed… they only defended and their neighbors never took them seriously, that was why they were suffering a lot of attacks recently.

In the end, it took three more days for Zelos to feel back to normal. He only had to eat a lot, though to make up for the blood loss.

As for the rest of the battle, It took a while, but eventually they recovered the territory lost and the enemies retreated...

Chapter 88 - Aftermath

Zelos began to walk sideways as if he was trying to study the enemy. Thanks to that, he began to hear some of the enemies around, they stayed quiet until now, but now they decided to interfere while their leader just studied Zelos.

“Are you planning to take a tea break mid-duel, or are you just enjoying the scenery?”

“I’ve seen snails move faster than you in a duel!”

 “Come on, I don’t have all day! I’ve got places to be and people to kill!”

“I...

Chapter 87 - Counter

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Zelos pushed through and then used his charge technique. He couldn’t afford to let the injury slow him down, not when he still had foes to defeat. Still, it seemed that had been a bad move since he felt a jolt of pain in his right leg.

“Fuck,”

Zelos couldn’t even use his iron balls anymore, at least not if he wanted to keep his sword in hand. Still, thanks to that, he was able to focus more on the battlefield and focus more on the enemi...

Chapter 86 - Time for the Counterattack

“... How long until that wound closes?” 

“I will be fine in four hours,” 

Health: 1240/1900

Magic: 660/660

Stamina: 1180/1780

Strength: 93

Vigor:97

Precision: 81

Wisdom: 20

Willpower: 46

Traits: Regeneration Lv 90

Zelos actually needed six hours, and that was only for the wound to close. Any too much of an effort would make the wound open once again. Still, he just didn’t have to use his right s...

Chapter 85 - Snipers

While the front line was screaming with all the power of their lungs, Zelos looked around the enemy’s ranks, trying to find their reinforcements. He considered that they would come mounted on horses, but he didn’t find any signs of them.

“Where are they…”

In the end, the armies collided without Zelos finding the enemy’s captains. Despite Kaitrine’s assurance that they had an easy-to-spot appearance, Zelos couldn’t spot them amidst the chaos of battle. Frustrated by...

Chapter 84 - Taking Chances

“It was in my plan to fight them anyway, but I am surprised that you didn’t tell me to interfere in their battle with the others and the captains.”

“The truth is, I want to do that, but I don’t want to cause discord among us by forcing people to do what they don’t want. Still, this is truly annoying, so I will think of ways that will help me avoid this kind of nuisance in the future.”

Liry was annoyed, and for once, she didn’t bother to hide it. It was clear to her...

Chapter 83 - Go and... (Thank you, Jerry.)

As the meeting ended and the group dispersed, Zelos couldn’t shake off a nagging feeling inside him. Despite his lack of loyalty towards the country, he felt something bothering him for considering waiting for a single girl to change the flow of the battle like that by herself.

Sure, all the help was welcome, and he appreciated Liry’s abilities, but Zelos felt inadequate with the idea of letting her shoulder all that responsibility by herself. It wasn’t just about the battle; it w...

Chapter 82 - Troublesome Options

Loan led the groups and Zelos followed him from the left side. The troops soon followed them afterwards, but all those who were close to Loan, including Zelos, were completely calm. The speech motivated them, but they knew how to control their feelings.

“We aren’t going to stop, cut them down as fast as possible!”

That was an order for Zelos and the others and he automatically decided to follow the orders. When the first enemy approached, Zelos jumped and then swung down his...

Chapter 81 - Speech (Thank you, Christian.)

“They are pretty troublesome and I don’t think that tactics can work with them that well. They have solid defenses and their offensives are as powerful as they can be when they don’t care about dying at all. They have this crazy look in their eyes. It makes me feel like I killed their families by accident.”

“I see… don’t you have nothing else to report?”

“About the battle, no.”

“I thought that you would be able to give us some more insight.”

“...

Chapter 80 - Report

In any case, thinking about that would change nothing. Zelos had to focus on what he could do. Thanks to the battle, Zelos realized that needs to improve his technique. Using two hands would solve the trick, but he wants to think of something else. Since he can recover more stamina, he decided to use quick trust in his attacks in order to break the defenses of the enemies or push them away.

Zelos wanted to train that immediately, but he had to help the wounded that couldn’t move first...

Chapter 79 - Hatred (Thank you, Tyler Shepherd).

It didn’t take long for Zelos to find his target. As the first enemy locked eyes with Zelos, a wild and crazed look filled his gaze. It was as if he wasn’t seeing a fellow human being, but rather a monstrous entity, something beyond comprehension.

To the enemy, Zelos was more than just a man, he was the epitome of terror, the worst of the beasts. The intensity of the enemy’s stare sent a chill down Zelos’s spine, a cold realization dawning on him that he was facing someone who s...

Chapter 78 - Clash (Thank you, Hi.)

Liry didn’t dismiss the idea immediately. She took a moment to consider it, recognizing that it made sense given the circumstances. The group faced a formidable enemy, and splitting up could allow them to cover more ground and gather valuable information more efficiently.

However, as Liry considered, she couldn’t help but notice Heirina’s growing anger. It was clear that Heirina was vehemently opposed to the idea of splitting up. She believed in the strength of their bond as a gro...

Chapter 77 - What is Good For Me

“Seeing them will give you a better image of them. It won’t improve their image though. Anyway… we received orders to send reinforcements to the north and recover the territory lost. We can’t afford to leave any area in the hands of the enemies, but we also have our own territory to defend, so I will be sending half of our forces to help there.”

After hearing that from Hei, everyone realized that there was a risk that the country of Loreinos might attack them, so they had to s...

Chapter 76 - More Earning and More Trouble (Thank you, Lokiher.)

“Zelos, you can scare her good. This will be a good lesson.”

A vein began to throb in Irlene’s forehead, that felt like Irlan was underestimating her, but soon she realized what her brother was talking about.

Zelos used his charging technique and then reappeared in front of Irlene already swinging his sword. Irlene barely had the time to raise her guard… Her spear blocked the attack, but the impact pushed her backward and made her fall and roll on the ground several times....

Chapter 75 - Sparring

While Zelos worked and trained, nothing came to mind. In the end, one week passed in the blink of an eye and Zelos realized that he needed to think of something. Time passes rather fast when nothing is happening.

The perception of time passing faster when nothing happens and slower when a lot of things happen is rooted in many things. When we are engaged in activities or experiencing new things, our brains are actively processing information. This increased mental activity creates a sen...

Chapter 74 - Amulet (Thank you, Visahi.)

Reina handed Irlan a long spear with a hairy butt, its shaft sturdy and its tip gleaming in the light. As Irlan’s fingers closed around the spear’s handle, his eyes widened in surprise. He could feel the rough texture of the hairy butt against his palm, and he couldn’t help but be taken aback by its unexpected feel. It was unlike any spear he had ever held before, and he couldn’t help but wonder about its origins.

“I don’t think that Edea needs to improve that much, but this...

Chapter 73 - Rewards

The group soon left the capital wondering about the Future, but not that much. Thanks to her accomplishments, Liry has some value now and since the prime minister knows that he will pick a fight with the leader of the natives if she kills her, he decides to take a roundabout way to get rid of her, by sending her to lead as many battlefields as possible as one of those methods. Still, her charisma was high, and he probably didn’t know the real extent.

“I am going to miss her. I am no...

Chapter 72 - Bye (Thank you, Jon.)

Liry smiled while showing a bit of sadness in her face, but soon she recomposed herself and tried to hide that when the others appeared. Irlan, Edea and Heirina were walking while supporting each other with their shoulders. If one falls, the others would fall too, and it didn’t look like it would take much for that to happen.

While Zelos watched that, he was thinking about the future and what he could do to change that fucked up country… perhaps the whole world was that fucked up an...

Chapter 71 - Recognition

Still, eventually, Liry’s voice began to weaken, and the group realized that her posture was weakening as well. Heirina approached and then put her hands on her shoulders.

“You can stop now, Liry. The flow of the battle is in our hands. That idiot also apparently did something to deal with the enemy, general.”

In the end, Liry nodded and then began to take deep breaths to recover. She looked exhausted and soon the group realized the risks of her trait. When Liry looked aroun...

Chapter 70 - Song

Zelos looked at the enemy who was studying him and watching the body of the guards as well… it was his chance to call for his underlings around to fight, but he didn’t do that. It seemed that the enemy general had given his orders already since everyone was moving away from the area and their orders were to leave the camp and fight.

The enemy general cut an imposing figure amidst the chaos of battle. With his light brown hair framing his face, he appeared youthful, yet possessed an ...

Chapter 69 - Chase

As Zelos surveyed the chaos unfolding around him, his sharp eyes caught sight of another group in the distance. They were rapidly approaching, intent on seizing control of the abandoned chariots left vulnerable in the middle of the confusion.

What caught Zelos’s attention even more was the sight of horses accompanying this new group, some of which he recognized as the ones that had escaped earlier. These were the same horses that Kaitrine had broken free during the initial attack, now...

Chapter 68 - The Real Target (Thank you, Dawson Anderson.)

“I will dispose of them silently and slowly since we can’t let blood spread in the area since the wind will blow the smell to the camp. Be ready to move as soon as I return.”

Zelos nodded and then laid down as much as he could and then Kaitrine disappeared in the darkness of the night.

While Zelos waited, he wondered what he should do to avoid that kind of situation… where they had to work so much just to defend their lands. One didn’t have to be a genius to understand t...
