Berserk: The Prophet

Guts understood that Gambino was suffering the same pain of losing Sis as they were, but he also couldn't bear to see his brother continue to endure Gambino's betrayal. He himself wouldn't care, but he couldn't bear to see his brother suffer, and he would rather have Grimm's injuries borne by himself.

Seeing Guts's pained expression, Green felt a pang of pain in his heart as well. He knew that it wouldn't be easy for Guts to completely let go of his feelings for Gambino, after all, they had lived together for so many years.

“Brother, I know this is hard for you. I don’t want to force you to make a choice. Take your time to think it over. I will always wait for you.” Green turned around and hugged Guts tightly. Only when he hugged him so tightly did he realize that Guts’ body was thin and seemed to be less robust than he had been eating outside.

"...It's my fault. I made you make such a difficult choice as soon as I got back."

The two embraced for a long time, and Guts gradually calmed down. He released Green, took a deep breath, and said, "Green, don't say that. I know you're doing it for my own good."

"It's getting late, you'll easily catch a cold like this. Let's go back to the tent and have a good chat. Life out there must be tough."

"Actually, aside from doing dirty work, things are fine most of the time. I've made a lot of friends... I'll introduce them to you sometime..."

"On the journey, I also met friends from Windam... and little fairies..."

"...A fairy?"

"...Haha, it's so funny!"

It's not easy for brothers to get together, and after a night of heartfelt conversation, Guss also began to yearn for life outside.

[Warning...Warning...You have left the land protected by the Goddess of Justice. There is an excessive amount of chaotic element in the current sea...]

[Warning...Warning...The current faith in the Goddess of Order is too weak; time cannot be stopped...]

Green felt a tremor in his brain. He could sense the state of the other body as soon as he closed his eyes, but his mental strength began to drop wildly until Xiaolong traveled through time and space and entered that body and stabilized.

Green watched as another "self" sat up in the cabin and went out onto the deck for some fresh air.

Hmm... I haven't mentioned it yet, but in Pande, the body is that of a classic European white-skinned foreigner, but he has black hair and black eyes, a feature unique to the Pande royal family.

Because of the handsome male traits chosen at the beginning, she showed the qualities of a beauty from a young age, which is really exciting.

Indeed, beauties are androgynous; if they grew their hair long, they would probably be more beautiful than most women.

"Sigh, Barkley really takes good care of him; he's grown into a handsome little boy." Green's consciousness floated in mid-air, resting his chin on his hand as he admired his 'self' from another dimension.

Speaking of which, because of this trait, even his appearance in Berserk gradually resembled Pendor's body. Originally, he and Guts looked exactly alike, and even Gambino couldn't tell them apart. Only Sis wouldn't mistake him.

Now, whether it's because he's traveling or for some other reason, he looks quite different from Gus, both in temperament and appearance. Their eyes seem to be saying different things.

Guts' eyes had lost some of their childlike innocence, but remained pure, occasionally tinged with a hint of fierceness. Green's eyes, on the other hand, revealed a shrewdness within their wisdom; due to his greater experience, he appeared much more calculating and cunning compared to Guts.

The two people's temperaments became completely different, making them easy to distinguish at once.

"We'll arrive in Fogvere City tomorrow morning. Remember to take all your belongings!" The captain from the Kingdom of Fieldsway sent his men to deliver the message to each cabin. This arduous sea voyage was finally coming to an end.

This ship not only transported passengers, but also carried a significant amount of cargo transshipped from the port of Tulley in Barclay.

At this moment, another "self" stood on the deck, the sea breeze brushing against his face, his hair fluttering gently. Green's consciousness could sense the state of that body and the busy figures of the crew around him. Even without deliberately paying attention, the story would continue, completely unlike the feeling of freely roaming through Barkley.

In a sense, it's a bit like game hosting, right?

However, this cheat code is a bit too realistic, to the point that Green often feels that this is a real world, just like the world in Berserk.

Green's luminous form soared freely into the sky, and the distant coastline was already faintly appearing on the horizon. This stage was finally about to witness his story unfold.

......

Late at night, the edge of the continent of Pendor was already visible to the naked eye, but unfortunately—a group of Vanskeri pirate ships appeared in sight.

"Woo--Woo--"

The sailboat Green was on sounded its horn as a warning, and soon the sailors on the deck rushed to their positions, waking the passengers as well.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! It's the Vanskerrys!!"

The captain shouted loudly, and then methodically directed the sailors to open all the sails on the three masts, and he took the helm himself.

Although Green did not leave the cabin, his consciousness, like the passengers on the ship, watched nervously as the ships slowly appeared in the darkness. Judging from their design, they were oar-powered boats propelled entirely by human power, and the flag of the Vanskeri "Three-Finger" Hag tribe was flying on them.

As they approached, the Vanskerry fleet came into view, including two large oarsmen with about a hundred men each, their bronze rams aimed directly at the sailboat where Green and his men were.

"Damn it, all you unrelated people, get back to your cabins!!"

"I'm not responsible if it falls into the sea! Turn right!!"

The captain's words were relayed layer by layer to the rowers on the lowest deck. A hundred or so men shouted slogans and rowed frantically. The ship, which was already traveling at a fast speed, began to sail rapidly with its sails laden with heavy cargo.

The passengers, who were originally enjoying the spectacle, were thrown around in a daze by the sudden acceleration. Fortunately, no one fell into the water. Now that the spectacle was over, everyone ran back to their cabins and began to pray to the goddess.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Where are the cannons we bought at Barkley? Load them and aim them at their large warships!!"

"Archers, prepare! 200 yards, 150 yards, fire!!"

"Bang—" "Whoosh—"

The captain of Fieldsway was methodically organizing the naval battle. Five cannons fired simultaneously, sinking a Vanscare warship and forcing some of the approaching single-sailed longships back under the hail of arrows.

"Wow, Barkley's new weapon is pretty powerful," the captain exclaimed.

Green felt a slight sense of relief as he looked at the sunken Vanscare warship from the air.

The remaining pirate ships did not give up. They seemed to be enraged and, after a brief hesitation, continued to sail towards the sailing ship.

"Ha, we're about to enter the port of Fogvere City. This is our Fieldsway home turf. Let's show them what we're made of! Artillery barrage! Advance into the fog-shrouded sea of ​​Fogvere City!!"

At the captain's command, the sailors quickly adjusted the angle of the cannons and began to fire upon the pirate ship that was charging again.

In an instant, the sea was filled with the roar of cannons and flames soaring into the sky.

The cannonballs exploded among the pirate ships, sending up high columns of water that made the already misty sea even more indistinct. Several small pirate ships were hit directly, burst into flames, and began to slowly sink.

Meanwhile, Green and his crew took the opportunity to accelerate into the deeper layers of sea fog, heading towards Fog-shrouded City—Yankeviso's undying port lighthouse.

As dawn approached, the pirates seemed to realize they wouldn't gain anything here and didn't catch up with Fieldsway, a large sailing ship used for both business and warfare.

"Hahaha, they're such cowards!!"

"We've won, children! Let's cheer and sing! The harbor is near!!"

As the sailboat successfully entered the waters of Fog City, the experienced captain declared their victory, and the atmosphere on board instantly shifted from tense to jubilant.

The sailors cheered excitedly, celebrating their hard-won victory. Looking at the cheering crowd, Green couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This naval battle was truly spectacular. He observed the brief engagement from a holistic perspective, demonstrating that naval combat requires considerable skill and courage!
