Berserker

Level 35, the level where I could job advance to a new class.

I immediately returned to the capital city of Lunaris and looked for the Adventurer’s Guild.

This was because most of the newly added job advancement NPCs could be found here.

The job advancement NPC for the [Berserker] I was trying to become was also here.

[Girson]

Berserker Job Instructor

The NPC named Girson had an exotically handsome face, and his entire body was covered in muscles.

The numerous scars etched onto his muscles were traces showing how many battles he had fought.

“Do you have business with me?”

Girson was staring at me with bloodshot eyes.

The unique job effect of the Berserker was the discoloration of their eyes.

“I want to job advance.”

The job advancement conditions for the Berserker were very simple.

You must possess the Slaughterer title, which can be obtained by recording 100 or more player kills in the field.

Through the conflict with SsingSsing, I had already cleared that achievement a long time ago.

Girson nodded and opened his mouth.

“The smell of blood is strong on your body.”

The moment Girson finished speaking, my vision turned red and then slowly recovered.

The job advancement to Berserker was complete.

I immediately checked the Berserker’s skills.

[Rage]

Damage, movement speed, and attack speed increase as health decreases.

The maximum effect of the skill is triggered when health is low.

Maximum Damage Increase Rate: 50%

Maximum Movement Speed Increase Rate: 30%

Maximum Attack Speed Increase Rate: 30%

[Steps Toward Death]

All damage taken is increased by 10%.

When health is low, 20% of the damage is converted to defense-ignoring damage.

[Combat Continuation]

When receiving damage that would lead to death, become [Immortal] for up to 2 seconds and health is fixed at 1.

If the [Immortal] state disappears, the character dies instantly.

[Leap Strike]

Leap with tremendous force and slam the ground.

The travel distance is affected by attack speed, and stuns targets within the strike range.

[Barrage]

Slam the ground with a powerful blow, then swing the sword five times forward.

Attack range increases when health is low.

[Whirlwind]

Grip the weapon with both hands and spin at tremendous speed for 5 seconds.

The number of attacks per second is affected by the user’s attack speed.

Attack range increases when health is low.

[Frenzy]

50% chance to inflict the [Bleeding] debuff on the target upon attack.

10% increased damage when attacking bleeding enemies.

A skill set solely for attacking.

I had been waiting for this moment. Those who haven’t experienced it wouldn’t know how terrifying the Berserker and Barbarian were when equipped with the [Red Orc Warrior’s Ring].

If you ever encountered a Berserker or Barbarian wearing that ring in the field, you had to run without looking back.

Even tank characters wearing full plate armor and large shields couldn’t withstand their attacks.

I immediately opened the warehouse and took out the item.

The number of rings I had purchased whenever they were listed had reached five.

[Red Orc Warrior’s Ring]

Strength +5 Common

5% increased damage taken

Level Restriction: 5

The wearer is always in a low health state.

The moment I equipped the ring, I felt my vision expand and my body become lighter.

Looking at myself in the mirror inside the building, I saw red blood energy writhing over the body of a small girl.

It was the effect of the [Rage] skill being activated.

Honestly, it’s cool.

Blood energy erupting from my entire body, is this what the Blood Demon from martial arts novels looks like?

“Hmm…”

I cross my arms and nod.

As expected, this small body doesn’t exude enough majesty.

If an item that resets customization appears later, I should decorate myself as an imposing middle-aged man.

Then my pony, no, my warhorse will also grow bigger.

Having finished my business, I leave the building.

Since I am always maintaining a low health state, all of the Berserker’s skills are activated.

My walking speed has become excessively fast.

At that moment, the guild chat window started burning up.

Looking down slightly to check the contents, I saw news that about 50 members of SsingSsing’s party had appeared in a new hunting ground.

Perfect timing. A PVP video would be more impactful than a monster hunting video with no real spectacle.

Iyap-[That’s a place you can only go to after completing the main quest, there probably aren’t many people who can go there right now.]

The location where SsingSsing’s party was sighted was the [Salt Desert] area.

I had already cleared all the main quests in that area, so there was no problem for me to move there.

However, there weren’t many members logged in at this time, and there were few people who could go there.

It would be better for me to go alone.

I immediately typed in the guild chat.

Yeon-[I’ll go.]

Iyap-[Guild leader-nim, have you changed your concept again?]

I frown at the immediately returning answer.

The guild members still thought I was maintaining the middle school girl concept.

Yeon-[This one is a Blood Demon. I don’t need any help, so I’ll go alone.]

Hwarang-[Did you read some martial arts novel or something?]

Dogric-[Martial arts novels must be popular among middle school girls these days.]

I ignore Hwarang and Dogric’s replies.

Deron is a role-playing game.

I was thinking of trying that concept play.

I immediately use warp to fly to the Salt Desert.

The place I arrived at, enveloped in brilliant light, was the Salt Desert, where the sun was shining brightly.

I immediately started running towards the coordinates where the guild member had requested help.

The pure white salt sand scattering beneath my feet leaves footprints.

The running speed was also excessively fast.

The hot desert wind brushing against my face felt refreshing.

Arriving at the destination coordinates, I saw people with the SsingSsing guild mark circling around, hunting users and monsters.

I immediately drew my sword.

As the holy sword was drawn with a sseurureung- sound, the sun’s light aura flowed out and began to mix with the red blood energy.

This area is a zone you arrive at in the early level 30s.

So, it means they couldn’t have done their 3rd job advancement yet.

There was a huge difference between 2nd rank and 3rd rank.

As I slowly walked towards the opponents, the SsingSsing side discovered me and shouted loudly.

“It’s Yeon!”

Huu- A calm breath flows from my mouth.

Beyond the surging blood energy, the SsingSsing guild members began to move.

“Did she come alone?”

“Quickly, quickly check the surroundings!”

It seemed they thought I had come with guild members.

I raised my sword to the side. The intense sunlight reflected off the blade, scattering with the effect.

“This one is a Blood Demon.”

“What is she saying?”

“She was always crazy. Check the surroundings first!”

I slowly walk out, stepping on the rustling sand.

The contents of the martial arts novels I had read were coming to mind.

I lower my head slightly and create an arrogant gaze.

Since my straight back doesn’t move at all, my gait also begins to change accordingly.

“There’s no one! That bitch is alone!”

“I couldn’t stand to watch your atrocities any longer, so I came myself. I’ll turn every last one of you into a handful of bloody water in this place.”

I spout whatever comes to mind and point my sword.

Following the trajectory of the sword, the sunlight scatters, creating a long shadow.

“Come. My sword desires blood.”

“Crazy bitch…”

The SsingSsing guild members began to spread out in all directions, cursing.

It was an action showing their determination to never let me go.

I immediately used doping and buff skills.

“Is that blood coming out of that bitch’s body?”

“Blood? Isn’t she just bleeding?”

“No. It’s strange…”

Information about advanced classes hasn’t been widely released yet.

Few users will recognize my appearance.

“Attack!”

The attacks pouring in, befitting a group of 50 people, were tremendous.

I immediately began to deflect all incoming attacks by swinging my sword.

The pillar of sunlight rising up, wrapped around the sword, was showing a bizarre appearance as it mixed with the red blood energy.

Pang!

I had just barely cut down a giant fireball.

A cloak of sunlight spread out behind my back.

The option of the Sun’s Cloak, which I had been waiting for, had been activated.

I immediately put strength into my legs.

It was time to experiment with the newly learned skills.

Kwang!

The moment I kicked the ground hard, my body jumped up to an unbelievable height.

Beyond the blood-reddened vision, I could see the flustered faces of the SsingSsing guild members.

The body floating in the air immediately prepared for the next action.

Enveloped in a red aura, I fell like a meteor.

Kwaaaang!

With a rough explosion, white salt sand scatters in all directions.

It was the activation of [Leap Strike].

I broke into the enemy lines in one go, disrupting their formation.

At that moment, I plunged my sword into the ground and activated [Declaration of the Sun God’s Sanctuary].

While being hit by the aura of light soaring in all directions, I prepare the next skill.

The legs preparing to rotate stretch forward, and I rotate my waist while holding the holy sword with both hands.

At that moment, the red aura enveloping my body explodes and bursts out, and the world begins to spin rapidly.

[Whirlwind]

The tremendous speed of rotation made my head dizzy.

Immediately after the skill is activated, the in-game system assists with movement, but it doesn’t stabilize the view.

I felt dizzy and slowly began to move.

As the whirlwind of red blood energy passed, gray corpses began to fall to the floor.

After a long 5 seconds, the skill’s effect disappeared, leaving afterimages.

The rotating body also stops.

I immediately scanned the surroundings.

My sharp gaze instantly grasps the state of the battlefield.

A total of 10 people remain.

They were ranged classes or healers who were outside the range of Whirlwind.

The pale blue faces of the enemies come into view.

They had lost their will to fight, but I didn’t stop.

I immediately kicked off the ground and used the [Dash] skill.

The body wrapped in blue mana flew at a speed that couldn’t be compared to before, blowing away the enemy’s body.

Kwang!

Immediately after the body collided, I use the next skill.

The newly acquired active skills were truly showing tremendous effects.

I swing the sword held in both hands greatly and slam it into the ground.

After the appearance of slamming down as if with a hammer, a huge shockwave spreads across the ground, scattering the users’ postures.

Immediately after, the body, corrected by the system, moves quickly and swings the sword five times.

Chwajwajak!

The red effect stretches out like a tail, tearing apart everyone in front.

My heart is pounding. The synergy between the new class and the equipped items was excessively good.

I felt like I was getting drunk on myself.

The laughter bursting from within begins to slightly raise the corners of my mouth.

But I hold back. I was recording a video right now.

I had to maintain a cool appearance until the end.

Until the video recording was over.

“I’ve cut down useless things again…”

Hwik-

With a cool line, I swing the sword in my hand as if to shake off the blood.

Of course, there was no blood on it.

Sseurureung-

Finally, I sheathe the holy sword in its scabbard.

With my eyes half-closed, I make a cool expression and end the video recording.

Cool. It was really cool.

Intoxicated by the atmosphere I created myself, I slowly smile.

I swept back my bangs while facing the blowing wind.

At that moment, I felt a gaze from very close by.

Wondering who it was, I turned my head and saw a member of the [SquirrelThunder] guild hiding behind a large rock, looking at me.

When he met my gaze, he raised his thumb at me.

Ah-

He saw everything.

My cheeks were burning.
