Berserk Stick System

Chapter 15: Solving Bella's Fear



My body was pierced by the thorns of the poisonous manticore’s tail. I felt a terrible pain in my chest. The armor I even bought from the armament shop was useless, the thorns pierced through my body.

Silvie saw that I was injured after protecting her, and a lot of blood was spilling all over her shirt. At first, she just opened her mouth in shock from being pushed, but after seeing my state, her eyes started to get wet.

“Lute!! No, you-you’s badly injured.”

Silvie was crying loudly, she was trying to touch me but was afraid she would hurt me if she touched something wrong.

I could only endure the pain and fell on my knees. Holding the thorn in my chest, I tried to pull it with all my might.

“Uarrrggggg….. hah…haah…,”

‘It hurts, to pull this thorn too painful!!,’

Unable to take it anymore, I finally cut the thorn with a dagger. After it was cut I pulled it out. The porcupine’s thorn was now detached from my body.

“System… give me… HP Potion” I said weakly.

[Item has been purchased]

Seeing the potion in my hand, I tried to drink it but it was too late, my vision started to blur due to the pain from pulling the thorn and I fell unconscious.

“Uuuuu….no, Lute….don’t die….”

Silvie burst into tears, she searched for a solution to save me and her gaze stopped at the potion in my hand.

Her eyes now had some hope. Taking the potion, she opened the lid trying to put it in my mouth. But it didn’t work because I passed out she couldn’t put the potion in my mouth.

‘W-what should I do now, no, I mustn’t hesitate, Otherwise Lute will die’

Silvie started to think and drank all the potions, holding them in her mouth then closing my lips sending the potions into my mouth. The potions passed through my mouth and into my throat. I unconsciously drank them.

Silvie removed her lips from mine, a bridge of saliva was visible between Lute’s lips and Silvie’s.

“Hah…hah….”

Silvie let out a sigh from her lips, with a flushed face.But she shook her head and looked at my current condition. My wound was starting to recover a bit, but from the look on my frowning face, Silvie could see I was still in pain

“Little girl!! take Lute to where Bella, told her to heal Lute”.

Braine shouted as he looked at my condition from above. He was currently still fighting the Manticore. He had a hard time fighting and protecting others.

Silvie heard this, didn’t stay still she took my hand on her back and dragged me to the evacuation area. There Bella was looking after the other residents of the orphanage.

–Pov Bella–

In the basement to be exact below the village head’s house, currently, many villagers are being evacuated here. The children are crying out of fear, their parents are just calming them down. I’m also currently calming the orphanage children, who are crying.

“Bella, is it safe outside?” A mother of one of the children here asked.

“I don’t know, but from the sound of a voice that is no longer heard, it looks like, monsters have been defeated,” Bella just sighed because there was no sound of monsters here anymore.

Suddenly the door to the basement above opened, two people came in from there. A girl with silver hair and fox ears was carrying a boy who had blood all over his body.

“Silvie? wh-what happened?”

I asked with a worried tone. Seeing Silvie whose clothes had a lot of blood, I even saw Lute who had blood all over his body. Silvie fell and landed Lute on the floor.

“Mom please save Lute, he was injured from a Monster attack while saving me,”Silvie was crying, her eyes already bloodshot from crying too much.

“Silvie calms down first, I’ll try to help Lute,” Saying that, I immediately arrived in front of Lute.

Seeing his condition that had a lot of blood all over his body made me subconsciously recall the memories that I didn’t want to remember anymore. I held my mouth, so as not to vomit.

‘Don’t be like this, I can’t go on like this, otherwise, I won’t be able to save Lute’

Remembering my memories with the child in front of me, those memories began to erase the bad memories I had. Although Lute often doesn’t listen to what I say, he is a good kid, he often helps the residents of the orphanage and even helps the villagers. I feel like I have to save him, no matter what occur.

I feel better now, I feel I have no problem seeing blood anymore. The worry of thinking Lute dead is even more terrifying than my bad experience.

“Heal,” Directing my hand to Lute’s chest I started to cast a healing spell.

His wounds are starting to seem to be healing little by little. Seeing this I feel calm, after I checked his wounds seems to have improved before, which means he has received first aid before this.

Silvie also breathed a sigh of relief seeing Lute’s wound starting to heal. She sat down weakly like she had just suffered from mental exhaustion.

“Lute looks like he’s gotten a little better before, what are you doing?” I asked Silvie.

“I-I just gave him a Potion,” Despite saying that, Silvie had a blush on her face.

“Eh.. is it just Potions?”

I asked curiously, if this is indeed a Potion, it means that the Potion has a fairly good quality, because the effect of the potion was still visible until now.

“T-that’s right,”

Silvie just lowered her head with her face getting redder, I don’t know why she’s like this.

….

Returning to the state of war, Braine was currently fighting the Manticore with all his might. But the result was still a draw, which made Braine even more uncomfortable.

Finally, Braine started thinking about killing the demon controlling the Manticore. Using the lightning sword in his hand he stepped forward and attacked the Manticore using lightning bolts.

*Bzzztt*

Lightning gathered and hit the person above the Manticore’s head, severely injuring him.

“Damn it, Manticore use poison mist!!” The demon above him shouted at the Manticore.

The manticore started to emit a green mist from its body. Braine saw this held his breath.

“Looks like I’ll have to use that,”

Brainne started to stop moving and closed his eyes. After a few seconds he opened his eyes, now his eyes were a bright purple color with pupils that looked like they had lightning around them.

“Purple of Domains”

Instantly the area around Braine and Manticore began to emit lightning and formed a domain that made it impossible for the Manticore to escape. The poison mist was also dissipated by the lightning.

Purple Of Domain, was a domain that was formed using an enormous amount of mana, this spell was a spell that one had to learn on their own, without the help of others. If one wanted to study the domain, one had to understand what the laws behind the domain meant.

Everyone had a different understanding of domains. One of them was Braine who had managed to master domain spells.

But since this magic spell drained a lot of mana, so he had to use it properly, so as not to harm himself.

“Y-you can use a domain? This is a big problem.”

The demon started to panic after seeing this. Because if someone entered the enemy’s domain the way to fight it was to wait for the person to run out of mana, or create their own domain as well to fight it.

Unfortunately waiting for that person to run out of mana was impossible, as their opponent was already killed before the mana ran out. As for the way to kill a domain user, it was usually impossible unless you were very strong over it, the person who created the domain was the master of the domain itself thus creating it invincible there.

“I actually don’t want to use this, because it will make me very weak afterwards, but since there is no other way, I will make you pay for it,”

Saying that Braine started to raise the lightning sword in his hand, purple lightning gathered to cover every gap in the domain after which Braine pointed his sword at the Devil and Manticore.

“Die!!”

“N-no don’t kill me!!”

The demon begged for mercy with a frightened face but unfortunately the lightning had already rushed at him from all directions and destroyed them. The demon was reduced to ashes while the Manticore’s corpse was charred.

“Huh.. I hope the corpses of manticores can still be sold,”

Brainne smiled, after which he went down with a pale face. It could be seen that using the spell used up a lot of his mana.

“The guards go to where the villagers are currently being evacuated, after that, tell them that the monster disaster is over,”

“Yes, my lord,”

The guards rushed to find the villagers who were being evacuated. Braine returned to his carriage to recover his strength.

What they don’t realize, actually there is someone peeked from deep in the depths of the forest all this state of affairs. That person was wearing a black robe and his head was covered with a hood.

“Tch I expected this to happen, he’s of no use at all, his only ability is controlling monsters,” The black-robed person clicked his tongue.

“But for now it’s okay, our plan has just begun, it’s just that I didn’t expect that there would be domain users participating here,”

The black robed person frowned, but he didn’t think much of it, he finally left the forest area, so as not to cause any more trouble.
