Cherreads

Chapter 45 - Chapter 45

The mage tried to cast another spell.

"[Flame—]"

Eren appeared in front of him and grabbed his mouth, halting his attack, and smashed his head on the wall with a single fluid motion, like an arrow aimed at a target.

The only people left after that were the Seer and the shield guardian.

Frustrated, the shield guardian immediately launched his attack.

"[Shield Bash]!"

But Eren had already appeared in front of him and directly grabbed the edge of the shield, delivering a strong punch to his chest.

BOOM!

The warrior's body was thrown away by the force, sliding through the floor before stopping with no motion.

"N-no!... D-don't come closer!"

The Seer screamed in terror and tried to retreat from the place, but Eren kicked his legs.

Crack!

His knee shattered instantly.

"AAAAAUGGHGHH!"

The scream of the Seer erupted through the place.

"OI! YOU FUCKER!... DARE TO ATTACK OUR GUILD!"

At that exact moment, a furious roar echoed behind Eren.

When he looked back, he found that the Berserker who had first been knocked out had stood up again.

Beside him was a man in a priest profession, holding his staff with an angered face while looking at him.

'This priest guy must have healed him.'

"[BERSERK]!"

Without wasting a shred of time, the man exploded with a crimson aura and charged toward Eren with a huge sword in his hand like a raging beast.

He swung his massive sword with all his strength, but Eren just casually ducked his head, dodging the vertical slash before connecting his fist with his face again.

Boom!

Eren used all of his strength in that single punch.

Crash!

Once again, the Berserker rolled across the ground before crashing into the wall.

He couldn't even stand steadily and fell on to the floor.

His teeth were broken and his nose was still bleeding.

His Berserk skill, which had been activated just now, was canceled immediately.

"H-how is this possible?! M-My status under Berserk state should be 40% increased!"

Disbelief was written on his face as he couldn't accept the reality that had just happened.

Eren, ignoring him, walked toward the priest profession holder.

"W-Wait!"

The man stumbled back and fell to the ground immediately.

"P-please don't—"

THUD!

Eren kicked his face so hard that the priest ended up knocked out immediately.

When Eren's gaze shifted to the Berserker again, the man's face instantly went pale.

His voice trembled as he saw Eren, without pausing for a moment, slowly walking toward him.

"Y-You!... Do you have any idea who you are messing with?!"

"M-My father is a guild master... If you dare to touch me... I swear... he will kill you!"

His words didn't affect Eren for even a millisecond.

In fact his eyes were became even colder as he grabbed the leg of the man.

"Y-you!.. W-what the fuck are you trying to do?! Get off of me!"

The Berserker tried his best to shake off Eren's grip, but to no use.

The next moment, Eren twisted his leg with insane force.

Crack!

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!"

The man let out a loud cry, but Eren didn't stop at all.

He went for the other leg.

Tears welled up in the man's eyes as he desperately tried to shake off Eren.

"N-No no no no!.. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! STOP IT YOU MOTHERFU—AAAAAGGGGUHHHHH!"

Crack!

With another twist, Eren broke his second leg.

'If I cut off the leg, it will be reattached in a single day with expensive potions and treatment from a high-grade healer. But breaking the bone while leaving the limb intact will take a very long time to heal. In that time, he can't do anything to anyone... This one is down.'

"I-I swear to god! I will definitely find—"

Boom!

Eren didn't even let him finish speaking.

With a solid kick to the face, Eren smashed his head onto the floor, once again knocking him cold.

His remaining teeth also broke.

It didn't stop there.

Eren went after every one of the unconscious members of the guild and broke their legs too.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

"AAAAAHHHHHH!"

"AAAAUUUUGGGHHH!"

"AAAAHHHHH!"

Only after crippling everyone did Eren let out a sigh.

"...!"

When his gaze shifted to the four hunters who had previously been beaten by the guild thugs, they flinched in terror.

Color drained from their faces.

Eren calmly walked toward the woman and said while looking around,

"There are no guards here. These bastards must have sent the guards away to abuse you all... Only you four and I know what happened here."

The woman's face became even paler upon hearing those words.

"W-We won't tell anyone what we saw... Please don't kill us!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Eren was genuinely puzzled by their reaction and said flatly.

"Don't you guys want to run away from here quickly? Just escape from here... This is the perfect moment for you all. Be quick before someone finds out what happened here."

Eren pointed at the fallen members of the guild and asked,

"Or do you guys want to stay here and wait for their guild members to arrive?"

"...!"

Stunned for a moment, the four of them stood up with difficulty and hastily moved toward the exit after shouting,

"Thank you very much!"

Eren let out a breath as he watched their backs disappear from view and muttered in a displeased tone,

"If they don't have the strength to protect what they got, why would even come here?..."

But when his eyes fell on the members lying on the floor with twisted limbs, he let out a weary smile.

"It's not like I can talk... I am also an idiot here..."

Eren walked to the dungeon gate and placed his hand on it.

[Choose the level of difficulty:

Normal

Hard

Nightmare]

"Nightmare!"

As soon as Eren chose, the dungeon gate trembled slightly before its color changed into an ominous red as a terrifying abyssal aura began to leak out.

'I need to finish this raid as quickly as possible.'

Eren's whole body vanished as soon as he stepped into the gate.

The next moment, he opened his eyes inside the dark, gloomy forest. Sunlight barely pierced through the tall trees and their twisted branches.

The whole atmosphere felt heavier and suffocating.

His heightened senses made him smell the scent of rotting leaves and wet soil all around him.

An unnatural silence engulfed the entire forest.

Without wasting a moment, Eren transformed into his full Crescent Fang Wolf alpha form, followed by using his absolute concealment authority.

The majestic silver wolf in the middle of the dark forest instantly vanished into thin air.

'I have to go where dungeon boss is, and clear this dungeon.'

Eren wanted to get out of here even before someone spotted the guild members outside the gate, so he could escape with ease.

His senses sharpened in an instant.

'Mm?'

When his eyes adjusted to the dark surroundings,

Eren spotted nearly invisible webs and thin threads stretching across the trees and all around the place.

'It doesn't seem like a trap... Oh! These webs were for detection; they were a sensory network these spider monsters came up with!'
