CH521 Berserk Humans II

"Berserk humans? Adventurers hunt humans?" Alex raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," Wayne nodded solemnly. "Anyone who undergoes berserk transformation is no longer human. They lose their sanity, leaving nothing but a beastly impulse that seeks to kill everything around it… or convert them."
Alex's expression turned grave.
He leaned forward, resting his forearms on his thighs.
"I'll be honest with you, Branch Master. I know very little about berserk beasts. Until today, they were little more than fables to me—things I had only heard of but never seen.
"As you've likely noticed, I always travel with a priestess of my family's faith by my side, so berserk transformation has never been something I needed to worry about."
He exhaled slowly.
"Can you tell me about berserk transformation in humans? Why does a large settlement like this have such a serious problem with it, to the extent that even the commonfolk have become desensitised to it?"
