Berserk Stick System

Chapter 157 - 157-Voice From The Darkness

"Hehehe, Lute, I won!!"

Yua jumped at me with a happy face. I swiftly caught her in my arms. I smiled at her and caressed her head.

"Yua, I'm glad you're getting stronger,"

"It's all because Lute is with me." Yua smiled sweetly at me.

"Can you stop doing that?" Natalia said, displeasedly.

I tilted my head, looking at Natalia. "Hmn? So what? Yua, you like me to hug you, don't you? "

"Um, Lute, I like it. I want you to keep hugging me," Yua said while burying her head in my chest.

Veins popped up in Natalia's head, but she then took a deep breath to calm herself. After all, what they did had nothing to do with her.

I smiled and kept caressing Yua's head. Her face looked very happy in my arms. Silvie looked serious as she stared at the Icebound Sword embedded in bluestone behind the throne. She walked slowly towards the sword and jumped onto the bluestone.

When I saw Silvie heading towards the sword, my eyes lit up. I wanted to see what happened next. Yua, who was in my arms, noticing my focus on Silvie, also became curious to know what Silvie was doing.

*WUZZZ*

Silvie's hand touched the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, Silvie's surroundings were enveloped by Frostfire. Everyone who felt hot and cold feelings here was shocked. Silvie's face also looked like she was in pain. She felt that her mana was being drained as her Frostfire raged beyond her control.

"Silvie is in danger, Lute, what should we do!?" Yua looked at me worriedly.

"We can only trust the current ability Silvie has to make her master of that sword," I said to Yua.

Honestly, I'm also worried about Silvie's current state. The flames around her are raging horribly. Silvie's body was also slowly showing burns and frozen skin. Silvie's face turned pale. She tried her best to pull the sword from the stone.

'I can't give up. I still have a lot of dreams. Being with him is what I want, I don't want it all to end here. If I keep getting weak, I can't keep up with him growing strong,'

Silvie tried her best to subdue the sword. She didn't care that the wounds on her body were getting worse, her determination was too strong to subdue the sword.

Seeing Silvie's wound getting worse, I became even more worried that she couldn't subdue the sword. In the game, this was the fifth dungeon the protagonist and his party explored. Silvie was able to subdue the sword for a reason that made her determination to be strong so great. It was because my death as her childhood friend had made her character change drastically.

'Is Silvie too fast to pick up that sword? Should I take it out of there and leave that sword behind for a while until Silvie becomes stronger? '

I furrowed my brows, feeling really worried. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion at Silvie's place, and she was thrown into the air.

"Silvie!!"

Without thinking, I let go of Yua's embrace and immediately jumped to save Silvie. I caught her worriedly while taking out a potion to heal her.

"Lute, I did... I managed to pull out that sword,"

Silvie's face looked happy, even though her body was covered in burns and ice that cracked her skin. She showed a beautiful ice crystal sword in her hand along with a shining snowflake-shaped symbol on her arm, now that sword had considered Silvie as its master.

"No, you have to worry about yourself now."

I gave her a potion and poured it into her mouth. Silvie gulped it down slowly. After that, Silvie's pale face seemed to improve. She then fell asleep with that sword in her hand. I picked up Silvie and covered her with a blanket, then laid her down next to the others.

"Silvie, will she be okay? " Elysia asked.

"She should be fine now. It's just that her body condition hasn't fully recovered. I want you to take care of her, in the meantime, I will check the red ice crystal over there,"

I said while pointing at a large chunk of red ice crystal that was sealed with chains on the ceiling.

"Wait, Lute, I feel danger from that crystal lump. Are you sure you're going there? "

Elysia looked worried. Yua also looked at me with a worried face, because they had been feeling uncomfortable from the red ice crystal above. Especially after Silvie's incident earlier, if something bad happened to Silvie, she might not survive while subduing that sword.

"Don't worry, trust me," I said.

Then I jumped up and shot my chain at the red ice crystal, then I pulled my body there. Once there, I was finally able to clearly see what kind of weapon was inside the red ice lump.

"A Scythe? So it's a scythe. "

I saw a large crimson-red scythe the size of an adult with a shape that looked dashing and, at the same time, contained a strong destructive power. I looked startled as I felt like something inside me churned to touch that red crystal immediately.

When I touched that red crystal, my vision suddenly became blurry, and I arrived in an endless dark room. I can neither speak nor do anything. Everything here is nothing but emptiness.

"Someone has arrived here, but I didn't expect it. That person is from that bloodline. *Sigh* I thought by moving her here, our clan would separate from theirs. How ironic. " A woman's voice came from the darkness.

'Who are you? What are you talking about? '

"Kid, I don't know what will happen in the future. But I hope you can look after and protect her. Whatever happens, you have to do it, because she is key to the salvation of the world. "

'Hey, wait!? What do you mean? '

*Cracks*

But suddenly, my vision turned to red cracks and I came back in front of the red ice crystal. Cracks appeared on the red ice crystal and slowly, cracks spread throughout the ice crystal, until finally the ice crystal shattered, revealing a crimson red scythe and seemed to be filled with an aura of destruction. The scythe floated and arrived in front of me. When I touched it, information entered my head.

"T-this is amazing," I said in disbelief as I processed the information.
