EP.41 Demon Berserker Having Sex Like a Beast Driven Mad by Demonic Energy1
"Aaaaaargh!!!!"
The man's anguished roar,
That beastly cry filled the mansion.
Drip... drip... drip...
The man held a sword in his hand
And blood dripped from it onto the floor as if he had just cut someone.
'Father...?'
Thus the man's appearance was stained with the color of murder.
His identity was none other than one of the three great Sword Masters of the Pedon continent,
The leader of the Sophist sword order, Jedi Ulysses Schneider.
Of course, the current atmosphere the man was exuding was clearly far from that of one called a sword saint.
But his son Eugene Schneider proved with shaking eyes that the being before him was Ulysses.
'Father...! The household members...!'
The man who was called a sword saint not just for his sword skills but also for his abundant virtue,
He was like a parent to the servants and could be called a friend.
But now around Ulysses holding the blood-stained sword
The beings he had embraced with such love were strewn about dismembered.
They had all been killed by Ulysses' hand.
Retch!!
Ulysses, who had become such a terrifying murderous demon,
Finally sensed his son Eugene Schneider's presence and turned to look at him.
Flinch!!!
Eugene froze with his eyes wide open,
Just before, he had felt great confusion rather than terror at seeing his father's changed appearance and the hellish state of the household.
It must have been because he couldn't believe it was real.
But now Eugene Schneider's face was rapidly overshadowed by terror.
'Father, me...?'
Because he himself had now become prey.
At this moment, that was how his father Ulysses' gaze as he stared at him felt.
It clearly felt like a murderous demon who would stab and slash anything with his sword
Had discovered new prey and was glaring at it.
Roooooar!!!
A movement that seemed to split space rather than cut through the wind,
As the Sword Master's mana footwork unfolded, on a different dimension from other awakened ones' mana footwork,
The sword demon Ulysses' body charged at his terrified son Eugene.
"Aaaah! Father!!"
Eugene called out to his father in a sorrowful voice while covering his face with his small hands.
Swish!!!
Then as if the scene had frozen,
Ulysses stopped right in front of his son with his blood-stained sword pointed at Eugene.
"Uuu... I'm scared, I'm scared..."
At the call of unbreakable blood ties
The sword demon Ulysses was shaken.
Eugene also instinctively sensed the situation
And whimpered as he slowly lowered his hands that had been covering his face.
"Eu... gene?"
Looking at Eugene like that
Ulysses faintly spoke his son's name.
'This person is my father...?'
It was paternal affection recognizing blood ties even in such an extreme situation.
However, Eugene who was still so young
Could not help but react differently from his father.
'I'm scared... so scared...'
Tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble...
It was grotesque.
A monstrous distorted face,
And the extreme inner conflict being created was directly expressed on Ulysses' face.
That miserable appearance contrasted so much with the gentle father's face in Eugene's mind
That Eugene trembled like an aspen and fell into extreme terror.
"Are you afraid of me...?"
At that moment Ulysses
Asked in a voice very familiar to the trembling Eugene.
'That voice!'
Eugene recognized the identity of the familiar voice,
'It's me!'
It was the voice of adult Eugene.
'!!!!!!'
It wasn't just the voice.
"This is your appearance. Why do you fear your own appearance so much."
Not just the face but Ulysses' body as well,
The fallen sword saint Ulysses from just before had somehow changed into 21-year-old Eugene Schneider wearing black armor.
In that form he
Claimed that the grotesque appearance Eugene was trembling in fear at before his eyes was in fact Eugene Schneider's true self.
Moreover, the corpses strewn about the house also gradually changed their appearance.
"No...!"
Jeanne, Charlotte,
"No!!!!"
And they had changed into the corpses of Elizabeth and Marianne.
"No!!!!!!"
At that moment Eugene Schneider woke up screaming madly,
He had awoken from a terrible nightmare.
Birds were starting to chirp in the morning
That morning sunlight was seeping through the window
And receiving such warm sunlight,
Eugene opened his eyes in the same state he had fallen asleep in last night, still wearing his armor.
"Huff, huff, huff,"
Though it was still spring, sweat poured like rain from Eugene's body that had struggled in the terrible nightmare.
In that state, Eugene Schneider breathed heavily with eyes as if possessed by a demon.
Swish!
In that same posture Eugene raised his upper body.
'It must be a dream! I absolutely cannot do such a thing to those people! I can't turn it into the scene of our house that day!'
It was a shocking and oppressive scene enough to seal away the memory for 12 years
And Eugene himself had committed it against the Orléans women he loved most.
But it was clearly a dream.
However, even while knowing it was a dream, Eugene berated himself, denying it as if the dream scene was something that would inevitably happen in the reality surrounding him someday.
'The demon blood, take good care of it. It's connected to berserkers, so it's not an ordinary troublesome thing.'
That it would certainly not end as just a dream,
Things that provoked such thoughts swirled in his mind.
"Kuh!"
As Jason's warning came to mind, a headache seemed to hit at the same time
Eugene closed his eyes as if frowning and grasped his head with both hands.
"Damn it all!!"
Then feeling something ominous, he spat out a harsh curse.
Flash!!
Eugene opened his eyes again,
At that moment his eyes flashed red.
"Hahaha! Drink! Let's drink, comrades!!"
Night had fallen and a party was underway at the Jebodang central hall.
They were holding the party today that they couldn't have last night due to cleaning up the goblin corpses.
Ivan, whose nose was already red, raised a glass full of alcohol high and shouted to burn tonight as a festival.
"Uncle Ivan seems especially excited today, big bro Thomas?"
"He has reason to be. Protecting a village was not only Uncle's goal in walking the path of a mercenary, but his dream. Plus, it's the first time we've handled a quest of this scale alone since he joined our mercenary group."
Mari and Thomas watched Ivan's appearance with amused looks.
Though Jebodang has a tavern, since it's not a very big village
There was no place that could handle a dinner party for a mercenary group of over 30 people.
So since it was delayed a day anyway, they got help from the villagers
And set up in the relatively spacious central hall to have a drinking and meat feast.
Thus it's not just a party for the mercenaries, but quite a few villagers are participating too.
The sight of villagers and mercenaries mingling together, that's why Ivan is so excited.
"Really? You're an awakened one too, Medical Officer?"
"Heheh, that's right. I had some talent with swords too, but I wanted to save people rather than cut them. That's why I started studying medicine."
"My~ A man skilled in both literary and martial arts~ And so tall and handsome too~!"
"Hahaha! I've heard that often. You lovely young lady!"
What usually accompanies a mercenary group's victory is alcohol, meat, and sex.
But Jebodang is small and not a place people come and go often, so there's no brothel.
However, since the Red Fox Mercenary Group has become heroes of the village, that's not needed just for today.
The smitten Jebodang girls are eagerly presenting their behinds to them.
"Is our Captain feeling better now~?"
Sophia, holding a bottle of alcohol, approached Jeanne sitting with Priscilla and asked about her condition.
She seemed to have run over after seeing the back of Jeanne's head while enthusiastically enjoying the party.
"I'm all better. There's no problem with moving at all, Sophia."
Smile!
Jeanne in light clothing looked up at Sophia beside her and smiled.
"I really focused hard on not leaving a scar on our Captain's beautiful body. Didn't sleep a wink~"
"Thank you Sophia for nursing me all night."
"No need for thanks between us. Well, I'm off to drink more~"
"Okay~"
Thus the two exchanged friendly and loving words of gratitude.
"Somehow the person who got shot with an arrow is up and about, but the one who came back fine is holed up in his room."
As Sophia left wiggling her big behind,
Priscilla, who was earnestly sipping only fruit juice despite attending the drinking party,
Indirectly mentioned Eugene to Jeanne beside her.
Eugene hasn't come out in front of his comrades since yesterday evening until now.
"He may not be injured, but he pushed himself hard due to unexpected battle situations. The Assault Captain has good reason."
Then Jeanne defended Eugene in a careful tone.
"Weakling, looks like he could handle six women in one night but unexpectedly frail. Sluuurp!"
After hearing Jeanne's defense, Priscilla made an expression that would piss Eugene off if he saw it and neatly sucked up her fruit juice.
'Eugene's reaction to what those Sophist guys said, is Eugene really half-demon?'
After defending Eugene, Jeanne fell into thought for a moment.
The reason Jeanne's voice just before couldn't help but be careful was
Because though her body is mingling at the party, her mind is complicated.
'When I asked Sophia, she said demons are immune to goblin shaman spells. So those guys' words carry more weight. Plus, I think I read in a book that for mixed-bloods, the probability of manifesting red pupils is only about 25 percent.'
She heard from Jason that Eugene was of mixed demon blood.
The fact that Eugene is of mixed demon blood
Is something that would cause more turmoil in Jeanne's heart than him becoming a Sword User Alpha in one go and immediately breaking through to Expert.
'How confused must he be. The talk about his father, what that last Claymore guy said as he was dying, judging by Eugene's expression then he seemed quite shaken.'
Jeanne also knows how Eugene's father Ulysses Schneider died.
Ulysses becoming a sword demon and being executed by the imperial knights,
Even to her, Eugene's rapid growth and the fact he has mixed demon blood
Makes her think of connecting it to Ulysses' shocking end.
Especially since Jeanne, who has stood by his side the longest, knows well how much mental anguish Eugene has suffered over the past 12 years because of that incident.
As such, she who has watched over him the longest can't help but worry to a different degree.
'That jerk, he should at least talk to me about it. It's not like you'd abandon him just because he says he's of mixed demon blood.'
So she's angry at the same time.
She feels so hurt and frustrated that she couldn't share the deepest things with Eugene.
"Hey Priscilla..."
So the passionate woman Jeanne d'Arc de Sel Orléans
"About what you told me before... I wanted to ask something about that..."
Wants to be of help to Eugene.
"The things I've told the Captain aren't just one or two. Sluuurp!"
Priscilla again made an expression that would piss someone off and gulped down fruit juice,
As an elf with many years, Priscilla has abundant knowledge
And often conversed well with the noble young lady Jeanne who has considerable learning.
"You know, demon berserkers."
Thanks to that, Jeanne also learned rare information from Priscilla that was difficult to come across even in the Orléans Grand Duke's mansion library.
"An interesting topic you've brought up. That's certainly an appealing subject to talk about. After all, we elves and demons are inextricably linked. I don't think there's any race that knows berserkers as well as elves?"
Priscilla, who had been making an expression like a disobedient child just before,
Became enthusiastic as soon as the demon and berserker tags were attached.
Because talent, indifference, and pride are elven virtues.
"Usually berserkers are linked to demons, but strictly speaking that's not always the case. Berserkers appear in some other races too. It's just that they appear overwhelmingly more often in demons, so that framework was formed."
Something only elves can do,
Their joy is boasting about things only elves know to like-minded people.
So Priscilla immediately began to spill the tea.
"I think I told you up to there in our previous conversation. I was about to talk about the unusual characteristics of demon berserkers when I stopped."
"Wow, great memory Captain."
Jeanne wants to know more about Eugene Schneider of mixed demon blood.
Because that passion has been activated, she sat facing Priscilla with bright eyes more than ever to lead the conversation.
"Unusual, they're extremely unusual guys. What's so unusual is."
Priscilla, who had even set aside her fruit juice glass to focus on the conversation, paused for a moment.
"Demon berserkers are bastards obsessed with mating."
Then she divulged truly explicit information.
"Ma...ting?"
The word mating, not only extremely explicit but also primitive,
At Priscilla's mention of the so-called animal mating behavior,
Jeanne's expression was dumbfounded.
