Chapter 183: Shadow Dagger

But even before he could do that, Adam suddenly launched forward. His expression was savage, as a huge amount of killing intent leaked out of his body.

Chris was excited. He had been worried that after the skill was deactivated by being kicked by Henry, it was not going to be capable of working on a person like Adam. But, he had not expected that something like this was going to happen.

What Chris did not know was that, Adam was someone who possessed the berserker profession. For that reason, he was a person that could get easily angered and lose his control.

So, those several whispers that had been echoing in his mind had made him lose his control. At the same time, he had already entered the berserk mode. Currently, Adam’s body was surrounded by a red aura, and the aura that he was emitting was so intense that it nearly scared Chris.

But, he calmed down in the next moment. After all, with the current situation that Adam was in, he was definitely going to attack the people around him. In that way, he was going to give Chris a chance of standing up. And after that, he was definitely going to make sure that he dealt with this group thoroughly.

But, just as Chris continued to day dream, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong. Why was it that the killing intent was directed towards him? Wasn’t it supposed to be directed at Henry and the rest of the group?

Before he could even react, he suddenly felt that he had been knocked by a train. And in the next moment, his body was suddenly launched into the air. Before he could even react, he felt something sharp cutting his legs off.

The legs had already begun regenerating, trying to heal, but the speed of healing was low. And this time, the legs were cut off completely, falling onto the ground even before his body landed.

Aargh!

Chris let out a heart wrenching scream! The pain that he was undergoing was too much for him to handle. Currently, his muscles and tendons were exposed. So, the moment that he was attacked, they were directly severed.

His sensitivity was high. Initially, he had been ignoring the pain due to the anger that was in his heart. But now, he was completely confused, giving his mind the chance of registering the pain that his body was undergoing.

Thud!

As his body landed onto the ground, he suddenly saw Adam approaching with a murderous expression on his face. His red pupils contracted as he watched Adam approach.

"Who do you think you are? You’re trying to control my mind? You must be tired of living!" Adam stated with his eyes completely red at this moment. But still, he was still conscious, something that was uncommon when he was at this stage of the berserk mode.

Just as Chris was trying to understand what was going on, Adam attacked using his battle axe. Noticing the danger that was approaching, Chris reacted immediately.

He stretched his hand, elongating the nails of his fingers in an attempt to block the attack. But, as if the battle axe did not meet with any obstruction, it cut through the fingernails under the horror of Chris.

But still, the battle axe was slowed down a little. And during these few microseconds, Chris gave a command to all the sea monsters that he controlled to attack. He believed that since he was capable of entering the barrier, then, that implied that even the sea monsters were capable of doing that.

His plan was to make sure that this territory was swarmed by sea monsters. And no matter how strong Henry and his group were, they were definitely not going to be capable of dealing with such a large number of monsters.

Bang! Splat!

Chris’s big head was immediately crushed by the axe after it descended onto him. His head was not left behind for others to see the expression on his face before his death. But still, he was horrified, afraid, furious, full of despair, but even jealous.

Still, nobody was going to see that expression and emotions on the face, and even if they saw, nobody was going to care about it. Still, Chris’s body twitched several times as if it was trying to recover.

But, due to the fact that he had spent a lot of energy in order to recover after the first attack that came from the barrier, there was no more energy for him to be able to recover. So, his body shook for a few more seconds before It finally calmed down.

But even after it had done so, Adam did not stop. Instead, he went ahead and chopped Chris’s body into several pieces. He had already seen as Chris recovered, so, he was not willing to risk anything. However, he was forced to stop when a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations on reaching level 5 of the berserk profession.]

Since he had killed a lot of bronze rank monsters the previous day, and, he only possessed an SS grade profession, completely unlike Olivia and Henry who possessed SSS grade professions, so, he was able to easily level up as compared to them.

Feeling the energy that was coursing through his body, Adam was finally able to recover. The red aura that was surrounding his body also dissipated at this moment as Adam exited the berserk mode.

Not only did Adam not feel that much excited, but, he still felt angry at the fact that he was being manipulated. Had it not been that his mind was stable, due to the profession that he possessed, not easily controlled by others, then, he would have definitely been controlled.

Even if it was just for a few seconds, that was enough. And for that reason, Adam felt humiliated. Chris was targeting him. Did that imply that Chris thought that he was the weakest?

It might be true that he was easily affected by his emotions, but, Chris got the wrong target. Currently, the person that Adam hated the most was definitely Chris. For that reason, after being influenced by the mind control skill, the first target in Adam’s mind was definitely Chris.

Additionally, Adam himself did not understand why, but, he found that the influence of the mind control skill was not that much. It was just that, due to his fury, he had entered the berserk mode. And with that, he was capable of dealing with Chris without much of a problem.

Henry had been observing all of this from the side. He could not help but sigh, feeling that it was a pity. Every time that he wanted to deal with Chris, he was always beat to it by someone.

The previous time, it was Olivia. And at this time, it was Adam. But still, there was nothing that Henry could say. Anyway, it was not as if Chris was alive anymore. He was dead as he could be.

This time, Henry had made sure to be completely sure that this guy was dead. The last time, they had left him on the brink of death. Who would have expected that he was going to come to look for them alive? Additionally, he had also gotten a change in his race!

After making sure that Chris was dead, and all the monsters that had been attacking the barrier continuously despite being killed had suddenly stopped, falling onto the ground without any signs of life in them, he felt relieved.

The huge amount of water that was currently surrounding the territory had suddenly fallen under the ground, flowing towards the lower parts of the city. It seemed that the city was going to be flooded on this day.

Light suddenly shone on Chris’s body. At the next moment, two items dropped. Adam did not hesitate and went ahead and picked them up. One of them was an item, while another one was a skill scroll.

Adam did not hesitate to give them to Henry. He knew that he was not going to be capable of killing Chris as long as Chris remained outside of the barrier. So, he felt that it was enough benefit for him to have already become a fifth level bronze rank mutant warrior.

As for the two drops that had come, he did not care. Anyway, it was Henry who had suppressed Chris completely. And other than that, Henry was the leader of the territory, so, he was the one that was going to be in charge of distributing equipment and other things that were gotten in the territory.

Henry took the two items. The first one was a dagger, it possessed a blue blade that was shining with some light. It was just that, the light that was coming from the blade was kind of dark and malicious.

Nevertheless, Henry focused on it, before information was displayed in front of him.

[Shadow dagger: 4-star; a weapon for an assassin. It is capable of penetrating armors as long as the dagger is activated. It can only be used twice a day.]

Henry was amazed by this dagger. It actually possessed a skill, something that enabled it to be able to penetrate armors. It was a pity that only a person that possessed the assassin profession was capable of wielding it.

But still, Henry could tell how lethal this thing was. To be able to penetrate a person’s armor, this was something that enabled the assassin to kill a person even if they possess incredible defenses. Additionally, it could be used twice a day. Just how overpowered was this dagger? Was it even a four-star equipment?

Henry decided to put the matter aside. He placed the dagger inside the idle space, before focusing on the skill scroll.
