“It’s too noisy!”
Shu Ke frowned slightly when he heard Vincentius’ curse. With a swing of his sword, he chopped off Vincentius’ head.
Pondlich—who was already in a state of anger because Vincentius was severely injured—became even angrier when he saw this. He fell into extreme anger entirely.
BANG!
At this moment, Pondlich was like a magical beast. He smashed a heavy punch towards Shu Ke.
Although Shu Ke managed to dodge this punch, a large pit with a few meters of diameter had appeared on the ground. That was how terrifying the punch was.
“This fellow has probably reached the pinnacle of a Dou Master. If he goes any higher, he would be a Dou Grandmaster.”
Shu Ke looked at the large pit in front of him and could not help but tighten his brows.
Pondlich’s destructive power was beyond his own estimation. It was likely that he was already close to the battle strength of a Dou Grandmaster.
Coupled with his gigantic body, Pondlich would unlikely to be much less of a threat than a Dou Grandmaster on a battlefield.
However, this was not a battlefield. Instead, it was a fight between two people!
“Rrraaaaahhh!!”
Pondlich’s crazy roar sounded like thunder in Shu Ke’s ears, making him uncomfortable.
He felt ringing in his ears, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
“What’s so great about having a loud voice!?”
Shu Ke raised his sword, and his eyes gradually turned cold. “Wolf Sword Technique: Blood Wolf Slash!”
A blood-red crescent sword light flew out of his hand and slashed heavily on Pondlich’s body.
The Blood Wolf Slash—which could cut through gold and jade—could only leave a shallow wound on Pondlich’s body before it shattered.
“F*ck! Is this guy’s body even harder than steel?!”
Shu Ke knew that his sword could completely cut through steel, but it could not cut through Pondlich’s body. From this, it could be seen that this guy’s body was even harder than steel.
Blood flowed out, and the stabbing pain in the wound stimulated Pondlich even more—making him more and more berserk.
The blood of the magical beast in his body was constantly agitated, eroding his rationality.
It made him want to destroy everything in front of him, especially this guy who killed his brother. He had to smash him into minced meat!
“The beast’s blood has already boiled. This guy’s strength should have reached its limit.”
Looking at the four to five meters tall Pondlich being covered in black fur, Shu Ke knew that he had reached the peak of his berserk state.
It was not suitable for him to fight head-on. If he did so, he would only be at a disadvantage.
It was better to act carefully.
Upon finding a targeted area, Shu Ke immediately changed his tactics. Like a slippery loach, he swam around Pondlich, constantly dodging his attacks.
“Rrraaaaahhh!!”
The continuously missed attacks made Pondlich even angrier.
He kept roaring ferociously, venting the frustration in his heart and the bloodthirst impulse.
“A brainless thing! No matter how powerful he is, he’s just an idiot!”
When Shu Ke was looking at Pondlich, who would only go crazy on the spot, the disdain in his eyes became more and more obvious.
The strength of a berserker was indeed powerful, especially in his berserk state which was even more terrifying.
In contrast, a berserker would also lose his rationality and turn into an uncontrollable beast, especially when he was controlled by his bloodlust and desire to destroy.
The price of this kind of power was really too high. The reason why humans were able to stand out from the magical beasts, the various races, and become one of the most powerful forces in the world was—they relied on intelligence, not brute force!
The actions of such a berserker were simply putting the cart before the horse!
‘Berserk state will be dispelled after 174 seconds. At that time, the opponent will fall into a weakened state.’
This was the greatest flaw of a berserker!
The blood of a magical beast was, after all, the blood of a magical beast. If one wanted to use the blood of a magical beast to increase their own strength, how could they not pay the price?
There was a time limit to the power of a berserk. Shu Ke had already known the biggest weakness of Vincentius and Pondlich from the very beginning.
Moreover, he used this weakness to kill Vincentius first, causing Pondlich to fall into berserk.
This was when Pondlich was at his strongest, but he was also at his weakest.
After five minutes of being strong, he would be in a fragile state. At that time, he would not be able to retaliate in front of Shu Ke at all.
If Pondlich could control his own consciousness, maintain his rationality, and possess the strength—that was infinitely close to that of a Dou Grandmaster, Shu Ke would run away immediately without hesitation. He definitely would not fight Pondlich.
But now, he did not!
There was no way Shu Ke would be afraid of an idiot who had strength but no brain.
Actually, any discerning person would be able to see through Shu Ke’s plan at this time. However, Vincentius—who could remind Pondlich and expose Shu Ke’s plan—had already been killed.
The only one left was Pondlich—a boorish man whose brain was filled with muscles and could not even speak.
The outcome of this battle had already been decided before the start.
Everything was within Shu Ke’s plan.
“Rrraaaaahhh!!”
Pondlich roared crazily as he continued to attack Shu Ke. However, the frequency and strength of his attacks were visibly weakening.
He began to weaken.
“Ten.”
Pondlich smashed down with a heavy punch. Instantly, the earth trembled as if there were an earthquake.
However, Shu Ke merely tapped his feet lightly and dodged the attack.
“Nine.”
Pondlich’s attack continued to miss.
“Eight.”
Pondlich’s body began to shrink, and his strength and aura were no longer as strong as before.
“Seven.”
“Six.”
“Five.”
…
As Shu Ke counted, Pondlich’s death knell sounded.
“Two.”
Pondlich stopped attacking. His body had already become about two meters long, and his scarlet eyes were filled with fear and worry.
His rationality had returned, and he understood Shu Ke’s plan.
So he wanted to escape now!
The death threat was right in front of him. He had to escape it as soon as possible.
As long as he could avoid the weakened period after berserk, he would be safe!
Pondlich turned around and ran out of the forest.
Not far from the forest was their camp. He and Vincentius’ subordinates were there. With their protection, he would definitely be safe!
“One.”
As he said that, a black light charged towards Pondlich.
“Wolf Sword Technique: Black Wolf Break!”
Shu Ke turned into a black light and stabbed towards Pondlich. At this moment, Pondlich’s berserk state had been dispelled. His entire body was filled with soreness and helplessness.
He wanted to fight back and struggle. However, his weak state made him feel extremely weak to even move his fingers, let alone fight.
At the moment, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch as Shu Ke’s sword got closer and closer to him, and finally, Shu Ke pierced his chest.
