Rage!

Adam's memories got completely rewritten.

It was like he had returned to that day. The day of the betrayal.

"It's fine!" Noel tried to calm down his panicky friends. "He can't use any of his skills. We should be able to still kill him with ease!"

"Y-yeah, you're right..." Jake nodded hesitantly.

Renee licked her dry lips, but then heard something behind her.

She turned around slightly and saw the roots of the tree slither like snakes in the darkness.

'What's that?'

"Renee, focus!" Noel screamed.

"A-ah, I am sorry!" Renee turned to face Adam and held her thin-bladed sword tightly in her hand.

Adam, with sword in right and shield in left, took a strong step forward.

Strangely enough, his veins were pulsing around his arms like snakes slithering beneath his skin, emitting reddish radiance as if his body were on fire.

His current state was not unheard of. It had happened to a couple of people before, but it was still a rare phenomenon.

It had received the name of Berserker State or Lethal Rage.

In this state, a person wouldn't be able to tell friend from foe, and those who had undergone this state often had no recollection of their actions afterward and instead found all of their enemies and friends brutally slain afterward.

Thus, both names were quite fitting.

The back of Adam's jacket ripped open, and his exposed back looked like it was swelling, and then strange wing-like appendages burst out from his skin.

Those "wings" started to look more like the petals of a flower-red and orange-and around eight of those petals sprouted from his back, making him look like some kind of mystical creature.

Ding, ding!

[Second Mystery, Berserker Rage, has been unraveled!]

[Berserker Rage: Its state originated from the Little God, who was once known as the Angry God of Tantrums. Whenever He threw a temper tantrum, the world trembled in fear, and disasters would befall the land.

[During His tantrums, no one could calm Him down, not even the other gods. Those tantrums often lasted thousands of years.

[When He finally reached adulthood, the Angry God of Tantrums mellowed out and became a peaceful deity, eventually receiving the title of the Little God.

[While the Angry God of Tantrums no longer exists, His famous Berserker Rage is still part of every single living human being]

[Third Power Unlocked!]

[3rd Power: The Wings of Berserker]

"W-what the fuck are those on his back?" Renee asked, thinking that those wings looked very beautiful. "He wasn't supposed to be able to use any skills!"

"Did the Sleepwalker Poison fail?" Noel felt frightened and started backing off.

Unfortunately, while this place was hidden nicely, there was only one exit, and Adam was currently standing right in front of it!

There was no escape!

Noel then saw Terry on the ground, as shocked as the rest of them, and then picked up him, and placed him in front to act as a meat shield.

crouched in front of Terry, ignoring his tied-up state, and just coldly looked down at him

while his wings moved behind him in a mesmerizing dance.

"Amelia, I should've seen it. I should've known that you were a snake. Why was I so blind?"

Terry tried to scream, but again muffled.

"Amelia..." Adam frowned and lowered his head with an unfocused look. "Wait, didn't you just join Crimson Hounds? No, we're part of Platinum Mercenaries, or am I?"

Slowly, the face of Amelia vanished, and it was replaced by Terry's teary visage. "Terry?" Adam looked at him in shock and quickly removed his mouth gag. "Are you alright?"

"Ah..." Terry breathed in relief. "Y-you remember me? What the heck was that?"

"Uh..." Adam touched his head, and it felt like he had a pounding headache.

When he turned to look at the other three-he still saw Calamity, Nikholas, and Lisa.

"What in the world is going on?" Adam frowned and then turned back to Terry.

With his sword, he cut off his ropes and set him free.

As he was about to stand up, he felt something heavy on his back, and when he turned around,

his eyes turned wide in shock as he saw his beautiful flower-petaled wings.

"Wings? What the fuck..."

"Let's leave." Terry said, after finally being cut free. "You've been poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" Adam asked, feeling a sudden wave of dizziness washing over him. "Right, I am

feeling quite sleepy..."

"The teacher can still cure you; we need to go now!"

Adam stood up, but before leaving, he turned to look at the three bleeding bodies lying on the

ground.

He was still seeing those three faces that had been haunting his nightmares for too long. He had a feeling that if he let them live, they would only come back to haunt him again.

"Adam, we need to go!"

At that moment, the whole cave started shaking, and the roots of the tree burst out from the

ground. They moved like whips and started lashing at everything in sight.

"What the fuck is that?!" Terry screamed and backed off towards the exit.

Adam frowned.

Near the enormous tree, a healthbar interface appeared out of nowhere.

[Minor Boss, Crazy Lashing Tree Monster]

[HP: 100%]

"A minor boss?!" Terry screamed. "This place is a hidden boss room?!"

"Terry, leave." Adam said, tightening his grip on his shield and sword.

"What about you?" Terry asked.

"Go and don't look back," Adam replied sternly.
