Chapter 80: Berzerk

'The Healing cards!' Ed snapped out of his sorrow after remembering that he had some hope left He quickly checked his Inventory. He didn't have enough Healing cards to help them all, which made his heart sink even more, but he still teleported near them to try and help.

"System use Healing card!" Ed didn't want to wait any longer. If he could save even two of them, he would do it.

[Host might be misunderstanding something. The Healing card will only heal the damage that was dealt to their bodies. It cannot bring back souls.]

This time, Ed felt as if his soul was being twisted. If the system couldn't help, then they were truly gone. This was the first time Ed truly lost someone dear to him. Even in his old world, all of his family members were healthy, and his grandparents were alive. No one close to him died. All of the emotions that Ed was feeling right now made his brain go into a frenzy.

He couldn't focus on anything so he didn't notice. Ed's Sharingan was forcefully activated, and the Tomoe in his eyes started rotating. Suddenly, they merged into a square-like shape. The square started rotating as well, leaving behind copies of itself. When his eyes were finally stable, the group of squares that were intersected shaped a circle inside them with a small hole inside of it as well.

*Ding*

Sharingan evolved into Mangekyo-Sharingan.

Ed didn't even care about the notification. He stood near the bodies for a while before collecting them inside his Inventory. They were dead so they could be stored. He even took the two old ladies who were dead next to them. He recognized the two ladies since he met them before. They were one of the old people who always helped Eri and the children. 'They probably came to visit them, or they wanted to help them'. Ed was thinking about the reason the children were in the slums.

The children either wanted to visit the people who helped as usual, or they noticed the monster invasion and wanted to help them. 'They probably remembered that I told them they needed to be strong, so they wanted to save them and show me how strong they were'. The theories Ed was making were all hurting him even more. Every time he stored one of their bodies, he would remember his chats with the children. How they wanted to be with him. How they enjoyed his company, and how they laughed when playing with Suika and Raikou.

When Ed finally stored Eri's body, he could hear her voice in his head. 'You're the only family we ever had'. Tears started appearing on Ed's face, and he started sobbing uncontrollably.

[Forcefully de-activating Mangekyo-Sharingan. The host can let loose however he wants, I'll take care of healing ]. Even the system who was always distant decided to help Ed. He even suggested he would heal him, using the potions and healing cards Ed had in his inventory. The system even sealed the Mangekyo-Sharingan so it wouldn't drain him.

Ed stood up and withdrew all three of his Katana. Monsters didn't approach him while he was storing the bodies, but now Ed was approaching them. Most of the monsters in front of him were at King Establishment. None of them could even react as they were being sliced by Ed. The more monsters he killed, the more rationality he lost.

Even a group of Steel armadillos, who were King Establishment level 5 monsters, known for strong defense, fell one after the other. Ed was using, magic, sword skill, and Nen at the same time. Unless monsters above Earth Establishment level 5 appeared, Ed would easily kill them. Plus in his current state of anger, he was letting out more and more power.

By now Ed had killed hundreds of monsters, he didn't know where he was, or why, if a monster appeared it would be killed.

*Ding*

Acquired new skill: Berzerk.

Even the system's notification didn't wake Ed up. By now, almost all weak monsters were eradicated, only Earth Establishment monsters remained. Ed still continued to fight, his usual finesse in killing was gone, but it was replaced by brutality. He took many injuries, but no fatal ones. Every time the system felt he was in danger, he used a potion or a pill. Ed was like a one-man army at this moment.

After a while, the capital's soldiers finally reached Ed's area. When they saw Ed mercilessly, and brutally killing the monsters they froze in their place. The killing intent he was releasing rooted them to the ground. One of the soldiers, who had a decent cultivation approached Ed and tried to stop him. Only to be greeted by a punch to the face. The soldier was a King Establishment level 5. Usually, he would withstand a normal punch easily, but Ed's sent his consciousness flying away.

The soldiers gave up on stopping Ed and assisted him. Afterwards, the teachers of the academy, as well as Ed's friends came to help. Even the general was present. Everyone who saw Ed's situation didn't know how to stop him. They didn't know what caused him to go berserk. But, Raikou who was always with Ed knew what had happened. "Aooooooo!" Tears filled Raikou's eyes as he was fond of the children even if he didn't show it. His howl was filled with sadness, helping the bystanders know that a tragedy had struck.

Raikou, Gobuta, and Goburou approached Ed. Even though he killed the monster he was fighting, he still continued to swing his swords. But none of those slashes had any power behind them. He was exhausted. His companions stopped him, and Raikou put him on his back while going back to the academy. It was time for Ed to take a rest.

Ed was full of blood, and other liquids he got by killing the monsters, but his friends didn't care. They left with Raikou and helped him get to the academy safely. The teachers, sane students, and Ed's companions were able to subdue the controlled students without losing a single life. Making the academy safe for now. But, Ed had lost more than anyone today.

Author's Thoughts

Shigun

Hello everyone! It was hard to write the last two chapters, poor Eri T_T.

Btw, I will stop using 'The' in chapter titles from now on. It was getting hard doing it that way.
