7 Meeting the Protagonist (Berserk)

"What happened, young master?"

"I was sure there was some text and patterns here, however, it seemed to have vanished now," Felix said with a frown on his face.

"Eh." Suddenly, the guard felt a hand grab him in the leg, sending a shiver down his spine. However, as a warrior, he swiftly reacted by jumping back.

Grrr...

When he looked back, his eyes widened with horror. William was alive again, with the hole in his chest and his heart, which had previously been dug out with the sword, back again.

Although he doubted that William could really regenerate his heart, the regeneration of a wound was still possible within his understanding.

However, although William seemed to have fully recovered, his fingernail seemed to have become bigger, and his eyes were entirely red, with two bat-like fangs coming out of his mouth while his back was hunching.

"He must have become a zombie," he thought to himself, otherwise there is no possibility the man could imagine other than that.

"Ahh, help me already," he heard Felix's voice, which made him frown. "I forgot that I was chasing this guy."

"No hard feelings, kid. I am just doing my job." He ran towards the back of William and slashed at his neck.

A small smile graced the lips of Williams as he turned his neck back to a one-eighty-degree angle and caught the blade with his fangs.

"This…" The man's eyes widened with horror when he saw this.

Before he could even react, he was attacked by nails coming right at him at full speed with a side swipe.

The man gritted his teeth before he decisively let go of the sword as he backed away.

"You wanna fight seriously?" the left-eyed scarred man said as suddenly the atmosphere changed around him. A red aura gathered around him, covering his entire body with it; it almost looked like he was burning alive. He emitted a bone-chilling aura.

However, Williams didn't even look at the scarred man as he swiftly went to Felix and caught him by the neck.

"Plz don't kil…." Felix had a tearful face as snot had gathered on his face while a foul smell emitted from him.

A smirk formed on Williams' face as he sliced with his other hand's sharp nails.

Shing!

Thud!

Felix's head was cleanly cut by Williams as it fell to the ground with a sickening thud.

Pss!

Blood gushed out of the headless body of the man like a fountain, soaking Williams in his blood as the body flailed around as if registering pain just now before falling to the ground in a short time.

A pool of blood was formed from the body of Felix and his goon staining the ground in a crimson red and dark pool.

"You bastard." The scarred man roared with anger. The fire that covered him seemed to materialise as it burned his surroundings with just a mere touch, as if it was like a real fire. He had fully released his Qi and blood.

Williams seemed to just snicker as he looked at the man in front of him, his eyes reflecting deep madness as his crouched back became even more hunched.

Seeing this, the scarred man's eyes widened as he felt a sense of danger. However, as a warrior, how could he retreat?

He gritted his teeth as he slashed forward with his glowing fire sword directly at Williams. Unlike the last time, his speed seemed to have increased, with his strength increasing as well.

Williams, at the point of madness, charged at the man as he also attacked with his sharp nails.

Boom!

A metallic sound reverberated, as even with the sword strengthened with the red fire, it still couldn't slice through the nails.

The scarred man's eyes widened as he backstepped again, swiftly avoiding nails that came at him from left directions.

"Dammit." He gritted his teeth. However, he wasn't given much reprieve as Williams came right at him.

"A kid dares to bully me?" Small veins popped in his head as his eyes turned fully red. The left-eyed scarred man released all his aura without holding back as he sliced.

"Hehehehehe." Williams laughed as he saw the slashing sword that came right at him without flinching, advancing forward instead.

"You…" The man was stunned when he saw that Williams was still advancing even after witnessing his strongest attack. However, as a war veteran, he quickly regained his calm. "Since you don't want to dodge, you might as well die." He sneered, tightening his grip on the sword, producing more momentum for the blade.

Time seemed to stop as the sword was about to connect with Williams. He swiftly manoeuvred, shifting his body slightly to the right while still charging forward, dodging the sword by a hair's breadth without even touching Williams' hair.

The man's eyes widened when he saw this, as a nail plunged into his throat.

"Y…" The scarred man wanted to say something, but since his neck was slit, he couldn't gather his words. He struggled as he lifted his right fist, attempting to punch Williams.

Williams just snickered as he coldly watched his nails plunge into the scarred man's neck, the sharp points emerging from the other side before he stabbed his other hand directly, driving it into the man's heart. With swift precision, he extracted the man's still-beating heart.

The scarred man's eyes widened to the limits in sheer horror as he gazed at his own heart, and soon, his eyes turned lifeless. His raised fist fell again.

Kekekeke!

Williams laughed like a blood-thirsty beast, holding the heart in his hands.

Without even a hint of hesitation, William directly ate the heart whole, revealing his sharp canines.

Williams burped as he touched his stomach with a satisfied expression, looking around with an evil smirk gracing his lips.

However, instantly, his expression changed to that of horror as he roared again with pain.
