Berserk: The Prophet

[Loading Barkley...]

.........

"It's more comfortable hiding here."

Green lay leisurely on Barkley's grass with his hands behind his head. He had just sold those thieves to the ransom broker and was overjoyed with a bag of silver denars in his hand. If he could catch thieves every day, wouldn't he be rich in no time?

Unfortunately, such good luck doesn't come every day. Last time I won, it was only because I had a horse to ride and could use throwing knives to pull myself back. If I were unlucky enough to run into bandits, I would probably have no choice but to run away.

Looking at the Overlord's Egg around my neck, I realized it was something a Valkyrie cosplayer selling to me at a comic convention had given me. She said she thought I was lucky and sold it to me for 9.9 yuan. I happened to be watching Berserker at the time, so of course I bought it at such a cheap price. I really don't know if I came here because of this fleshy little thing.

"hiss!"

My fingertip felt like it had been pricked by something, and I hissed. Just as I was about to use my other hand to remove it to take a look, I felt the Overlord's Egg in my hand move.

"Guji"

The golden-red Tyrant Egg in its hand first opened its golden vertical pupils and stared at Green, then made an incomprehensible sound, which frightened Green so much that he threw it into the air.

"Holy crap, what is that?!"

Just as Green realized what was happening and hurriedly prepared to catch the Overlord's Egg, the spherical object suddenly spread its wings, and a four-legged baby dragon with gold and red stripes was circling in the air, wearing the black necklace on its tail.

[System Guardian Spirit Awakened, True Name: Golden-Red Belial (Large Stage), Acquired Abilities: [Spatial Access]*6, [Absolute Immunity to Host Physical Death], [Soul Protection]*20, [Key to the World], [Dragon Flame]*1, [Magic Resistance]*20 (Racial Trait)]

"Awooo~!" As if it hadn't flown freely in a long time, the little dragon flew around in the sky for a while and let out a few howls before landing in Green's hands.

"It's a dragon cub!"

Green's eyes were filled with disbelief, while the miniature dragon in his hand blinked its golden and red vertical pupils, scrutinizing him. Then the dragon started biting at the metal clasp on its tail. Seeing this, Green simply helped it remove the clasp, which looked like a ring. Amazingly, the inside of the ring had his English name written on it (Green Belligert).

“Beligar...t.” (Dragon language)

The young dragon uttered a string of notes, which Green could surprisingly understand. It wasn't just the name of the red dragon; the ancient notes seemed to be calling to Green, and he seemed to be able to sense the dragon's condition and perspective.

"roar~"

The roar sounded like a mixture of elephant and dinosaur sounds, and then the young dragon plunged into its own chest and disappeared without a trace.

Green's chest felt like it was on fire, his whole body was sweating profusely, and his head was throbbing as if it were about to explode. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he tore his shirt to shreds. A faint red light appeared around him, and his clothes burned to ashes. The grass under his feet quickly turned black. Fortunately, the red light only appeared for a moment and did not cause a large fire.

Green lay naked on the tall grass in the Barkley area.

[World reconnecting... Connection complete.]

[This stay lasted 2 hours and consumed 20 points of mental energy.]

[Daily settlement in progress... Energy fully restored.]

............

"Glen Belligerent..." The god's murmur echoed in my ears.

When Grimm woke up again, he was already in the tent; that's right, he was already in the world of Berserk.

I don't think I slept very well last night. In this freezing weather, I not only kicked the blankets far away, but I also tore my clothes open.

Looking groggily at her chest, she felt something new pressed against it, and she could feel its heartbeat and every muscle. The ring had replaced the previous gold and red pendant and was now hanging around her neck.

It seemed he wasn't dreaming. Green snapped out of it and stroked the bulge on his chest. The texture was hard yet silky smooth like fish scales, almost like crocodile skin. Along with it came a comfortable feeling, as if he was touching not just its scales, but a part of himself. Its sensations and his own were one. It was a dragon pattern, and if he wasn't mistaken, it was it, Belial.

[I have obtained the Mark of Belial, Strength +5, Unlocked Ability: Dragon Flame*1 level.]

"It's incredible."

Green felt the power surging through his arms and noticed a significant improvement. After a night of training, his muscles seemed to have become more solid.

He yawned and rubbed his messy head; his hair had grown long and needed a trim.

I hastily put on my clothes, washed up and got up as usual. I seemed to have sweated a lot last night, so I decided to wash my hair and take a cold shower before starting my practice for the day.

Fortunately, I got up earlier than usual today. It felt so good to wash off all the sweat from head to toe. It's just that the well water is a bit cold this time of year. It's almost early winter now. I wonder if it's because of Belgaard. The water evaporated in no time.

I simply wiped away the water droplets that hadn't evaporated yet, got dressed, and prepared to greet the new day. Children's bodies are so much better; they can already bend over in just a few days. However, if they were to apply this to real combat, they would need special training. Nevertheless, their flexibility has definitely improved a lot.

.........

Although I've been forced to adapt for a few days, thankfully with the help of the healing, my strained muscles have been forced to repair. However, it's still quite difficult every time I continue to challenge myself. Under Cardi's violent torture, I can now slowly do a split, but I usually still need to use external force, which is quite painful.

After a day of torture, Green and Bazso lay on the ground for a while to recover. Their clothes were so torn that they were unwearable. They were too tired to move for the first two days, but they seemed to have gotten used to it. They figured it was time to get their helmets and scale armor, and then their rawhide coats. They would ask the tailor for some needles and thread and sew them up themselves, though it had been a long time since they had sewn any clothes.

Having lost his parents at a young age, Green had always mended his own clothes with needle and thread. He had also mended Guts' and his own clothes since arriving here. However, back then, he didn't have much money, so he would use fish bones and some tough plant fibers to dry and sew them together.

"Let's go, Bazso, let's go to the city to get the armor and clothes, and grab a good bite to eat while we're at it!"

"it is good!"

The two strolled leisurely towards the city, wondering if Guni would still be looking for them. They decided to return the doll to her this time.

.........

Urban area.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The evening bells had already rung, and the silver-haired boy had just finished his day of games. The white doves in the castle also began their final pilgrimage of the day with the sound of the bells, fluttering and circling in the sky.

Today, Gerry was wearing a reddish-brown top. As the bells rang, he looked up at the white castle with a childlike, innocent smile on his face.

Because the storm of that incident has finally passed, he can finally go out and play today. He wants to go to the foot of the mountain to see the white castle, just like always!

His figure darted through the alley and leaped over the stone steps. On the street, several children were rolling iron hoop wheels with wooden sticks, laughing and comparing who could push them faster.

But the alleyway seemed unusually quiet today. Gerry had apparently turned into the wrong alley and was lost...

How strange, how did I end up getting lost today?
