Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 384 : Berserk

Wei Jun looked at the Orc chieftain, who was emitting dark smoke from its body. The power emitting from it was once again of darkness, not Death. But the closest sub-element of the Death element was darkness so compared to other branches of the the Death element, the power of darkness was very strong.

[If we're talking in the sense of the orc]

[Then what he'd have is the dark aura]

[Its defense would be double]

[While its attack power would be immense as well]

[That's what the power of darkness is]

[It enhances the power of an individual at the cost of something]

Wei Jun's ears suddenly perked up as he heard the last point of the system. 'What do you mean by a cost?'

[It's as if you've heard]

[For some it's their life force]

[For some it's their sanity]

[But unlike witchcraft, where an alternate source of life can be provided such as a sacrifice]

[In the case of the element of darkness]

[It must be something the user possesses for themself]

[In return, the cost is very less and the power is very high]

Wei Jun more or less understood what the system explained. If Wei Jun were to put it into simpler words, the orc was currently using some sort of sacrifice, his very own being, to increase its power drastically.

'Then am I too...?' Wei Jun asked but he didn't complete his sentence because the system interrupted him.

[No]

[What you wield is death]

[Death has no price but one]

[You reap]

Wei Jun's eyes widened as the system said that but before he could dive into it, the orc spoke once again and the system translated it for him.

[I am stronger than you]

[Surrender, and I shall end you with honor]

Wei Jun heard the orc's words through the system and scoffed. Although he was interested in his own matter, he wasn't so immersed in ignoring the orc who had now become more powerful and could end him without much effort.

[It's right, you know]

[It is stronger than you]

'So what?' Wei Jun asked before he added, "What good is honor if you're dead?"

Wei Jun decided to reach down deep into his abdomen and reached for the Death Qi core. When he always used it, the Death Qi activated and moved according to his whims, almost like the skills of the system but there were no Death Qi specific skills in the system.

If he were to use the Death whips, he'd just have to think about it and they'd appear on his hands without even a second's delay.

However, he did it today after he witnessed the flow of the Orc's aura. He had noticed it before when he witnessed the flow of Guardian's mana through his heart, but the mana of Guardian was in a little disarray due to it being outside his body, however, the aura of the orc before him was perfectly stabilized.

As if it followed every whim of it but not only that, it was in perfect control, along with too low of a consumption. Wei Jun knew that if the plan was to tire the orc out by making him use too much power of darkness for an extended period of time, then it was a losing battle.

Wei Jun was sure he'd die before that

[You'll definitely die before that]

'Thanks for the confirmation.'

Wei Jun sighed and reached deep down into his core.

As he touched the Death Qi core, he felt a sudden push back but he immediately gathered himself before his consciousness could exit the core. He immediately went back in because he was low on time and felt it.

The resistance.

The resistance from the Death Qi core was massive. It was as if it was saying that Wei Jun was free to use it, but he was not allowed to control it. However, Wei Jun was not there to control it. He was simply there to bond with it.

"Oi," Wei Jun said out loud, looking at the orc while his mind was deep down into the Death Qi core as he said, "Let's become one."

Become one. He had felt it before when he assimilated with the Yang Qi. The feeling of powerful addiction was the greatest problem with that method but he remembered how the yang Qi assimilated into his body.

He tried the same, only with Death Qi this time. It had happened before too, when he accidentally did so and gained one stat each in his physical stats but the risk associated with that was that he would be becoming death itself.

He would be branded as an evil cultivator and be hunted for life. However, there was a slight hope that there was a solution to that as well. What if he didn't assimilate with it permanently but for a short amount of time?

Like the skill [Qi empowerment] but different than that. Like something more than that. Something more...

"Chaotic."

As if the Death Qi could understand his words perfectly, it moved in a manner that wasn't stable in the least. Not like it usually moved when Wei Jun activated skills, but it moved as if it was out to destroy everything.

"Let there be chaos." Wei Jun said before his eyes went dark and his power reached another level.

[You have triggered the state of Berserk]

[Warning]

[The state of berserk has been deemed unethical and forbidden by the laws of nature]

[The longer the user remains in the state of Berserk]

[The more there will be the risk of mental capability loss]

Wei Jun could feel his head going mad, filled with thoughts to destroy everything in his path he didn't take one step forward even when the orc had finished saying whatever it had to say and jumped at Wei Jun, intent on killing him.

"Oi." Wei Jun said, his tone calm as ever even when his head was on a rampage, "I said I'll work with you, never said I'll work for you."

[The user's mental resistance has proven to be too strong]

[The effects of the berserk state would drastically decrease]

[An unbelievable achievement]

[You have gained the title 'One who resisted the laws']

[Error]

[A title contained with such a power cannot be assimilated with the user as a higher class status with a strong class already exists]

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

[The title will be assimilated with the class 'Invader']

[You have gained a new skill]

[Berserk]

[Tier: SSS]

[Description: Not many can suppress their emotions when it goes against their nature

Is it because the skill is faulty or the user is a robot?

The user can be called the oddball in that sense then

A skill created specifically for the user as the user has proven to be the first of his kind]

[Effect(s):

Attack +100

Defense +100]

[Cost: 5000 Death Qi]

[Disadvantage: For every second the skill is in use, -1 HP]

[Cooldown: 24 hours]

"Gah!!!"

"Excuse me, Doctor James." A woman dressed in a nurse outfit knocked on the door of a man and after getting permission from the man, she entered and informed him of her reason for coming, "Someone is here to see you. She addresses herself as Doctor Marlene Quinn."

"Doctor Quinn?" The man surnamed James, Doctor James to be precise asked before he added, "British? Is she sent by Johnathan?"

"She didn't say." The nurse replied.

"Hmm..." Kevin James, a renowned cardiologist, a doctor of many talents and skills far beyond any other doctor, even many, many doctors combined. Such a man was known throughout the world and it wasn't strange for doctors to visit and consult with him on various aspects.

The problem was that he had never heard of someone going by that name. Even when he racked his brain, no one by the name came up.

"Send her in," Kevin said and closed his laptop. The nurse nodded and left, and after about ten minutes, the door knocked once again and once Kevin gave the permission, the door opened to reveal a young woman of exquisite beauty.

Her beauty would have charmed any man but Kevin wasn't just any man. He could see beyond that beauty and he sighed as he asked, "Is there a reason you wish to see me, Doctor Quinn?"

He didn't bother wasting time with pleasantries or anything else. Even before she properly stepped inside the office, Kevin posed the question, stopping her in her tracks. She looked at Kevin and said in her exquisite British accent, "Hello, Mister James. I know it may come off as rude but..."

Since Kevin had gotten straight to the point, Marlene did so as well and said, "I'm here to discuss a patient of yours."

"Who?" A frown appeared on Kevin's face but he didn't show any further hostility except for the frown.

Marlene smiled and took another step inside the office, her expression calm and serene as she replied, "Damien. Damien Smith."
