Chapter 90: Berserker Battle Royale.
[It must be said that this move of Jason's is truly both sinister and high-level.]
[Atalanta cherishes children extremely deeply and absolutely does not allow anyone to harm children; because of this, she can fall into a blind Berserk state.]
[In this state, any communication or explanation is meaningless; I fear that even your Disaster With Women would not be able to soothe the other party's emotions.]
Perhaps because of lessons learned from the previous time in the Singularity, subconsciously Jason had increased his level of caution toward Eikou.
This time, his scheme also directly cut off the possibility of Eikou pulling Atalanta over to his side.
Viewed from a certain angle, Jason truly is quite a crafty fellow.
But...
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
Eikou's expression suddenly became completely serious.
Especially when facing Atalanta's successive waves of ferocious attacks.
Jason, since you deliberately smeared me first, then don't blame me for playing dirty as well!
Originally, I even felt this move was somewhat lacking in morality and deliberately did not use it; now it seems my morality was still too high!!
"I will activate my skill..."
Eikou's gaze turned cold.
"Use High-Speed Divine Words on Caenis!"
[You have used High-Speed Divine Words on Rider Caenis.]
A die fell down.
[Check — success.]
[In an extremely short period of time, you conveyed some information to Caenis and successfully persuaded her.]
"What?!"
A piece of information quickly reached Caenis's ears; after hearing it, she immediately erupted in fury, the beast ears on her head snapping upright like rabbit ears.
While in the midst of a fierce battle with Heracles, she suddenly tensed her entire body and burst out with an unbelievable amount of power. In this direct clash of strength, she even forced the Great Hero back, displaying terrifying physical power far beyond the displayed parameters.
Her combat power was strengthened once again!
[Rider Caenis has entered a Berserk state.]
[She herself originally has compatibility with the two classes Avenger and Berserker; as long as the right point is stimulated, she will fall into a special frenzied state.]
"JA—SON—!"
Only to see Caenis's eyes widen, her entire body filled with killing intent like a true Berserker, both hands gripping the spear tightly as she let out a terrifying roar.
"I will definitely send you to Hades——!"
"Kyaa!"
The moment Jason saw Caenis like that, he shuddered and retreated several steps in fright.
"I… I didn't do anything, did I? Caenis, I think I didn't provoke you at all!"
"Not necessarily,"
Eikou said from the side, "I already used High-Speed Divine Words to tell Caenis this: [Jason said that he has always regarded you as a woman, and even thinks your swimsuit is excessively sexy—not only is your figure outrageously good, but your charming tan skin combined with your tomboy personality is truly a match made in heaven. Even though you always emphasize that you are a man, Jason instead feels that this kind of 'bros' is even more to his taste—rough, straightforward, bold, yet also carrying a kind of feminine beauty; that feeling is really… KIMOCHI!]"
"That's way too detailed, I didn't think like that at all—those are all your personal impressions, aren't they?!"
Jason retorted.
"Shut up, let me show you what it means to be hit by your own stick."
Eikou said, "If I die in Atalanta's hands today, then I'll drag you down with me!"
In other words, as long as my misfortune can destroy your happiness, that's enough!
[You have successfully provoked using the topic of gender, igniting the conflict between Caenis and Jason.]
[Before killing Jason, she will not escape the Berserk state.]
"Jason, die for me!"
Before the words had even finished, Caenis had already seized her spear and charged straight forward, carrying overwhelming killing intent, intending to kill him to vent her anger.
"A a a a a——!"
Seeing Caenis charge over wreathed in killing intent, Jason panicked and drew his sword, screaming in terror like a chick.
"Heracles, save—!"
At the critical moment, Heracles hurriedly turned back to defend, standing like an unbreakable wall in front of Caenis.
Clang!
Gathering all magical energy and strength, a strike as pure as killing intent itself descended; Caenis's spear slammed heavily into Heracles's axe-sword, erupting into an unprecedented surge of chaotic magical energy.
Even Heracles, facing such a ferocious attack, could not help but be pushed back a step, his foot stamping into the ground and leaving a deep footprint.
The surrounding trees, even the nearby river, all seemed as if they were about to be blown away.
Yet Caenis still refused to relent. Seizing the exact moment when Heracles was constrained by having to protect Jason, she immediately launched a series of fierce attacks, and whenever she found an opening, she aimed straight at Jason behind him to unleash a lethal blow.
Just as Eikou had predicted, this tactic successfully dragged Heracles into a passive and disadvantageous position.
[It feels like… it has completely turned into a Berserker Battle Royale...]
"This really is Greece."
Eikou sighed with emotion.
At this very moment, Berserker Atalanta also charged toward Eikou, launching a fierce assault. Her snarling, claw-waving appearance clearly showed her intent to fight to the very end, until death.
"Hey, Eikou!"
Caenis, fighting in a frenzy, suddenly shouted toward him.
"What is it!"
While fiercely battling Atalanta, Eikou hurriedly replied.
"Do you have any other support skills? Can you share a bit more mana with me? I'm about to run out of mana on my side!"
"This..."
Eikou revealed a troubled expression; all of his buff skills had already been used up.
No, to be precise… there actually was still one buff skill left...
"Um..."
Eikou shook his head.
"What do you mean 'um'? What are you hesitating for,"
Caenis frowned and said irritably, "The opponents are Jason and Heracles. Since you're already facing them, what trump card are you still holding back? If you've got something saved, then use it all—let's decide the victor right here and now!"
"Hiss——"
Eikou gritted his teeth.
With Caenis putting it that way, if he continued to hide it, it would instead just make him look indecisive and hesitant.
Fine then, he would try it.
Moreover, Eikou himself was also very curious—if he used [that skill], what kind of effect would it actually produce? Up until now, he had only been speculating.
But there was no doubt about it: it was indeed a buff-type skill!
Whatever, since he was trying it, he might as well go all the way! Everyone has a first time anyway!
Eikou raised his hand toward Caenis.
[You have activated on Rider Caenis… "Possessiveness B"!]
