AWB Chapter 27 Skill Awakening
Chapter 27 Skill Awakening
After completing the dungeon quest, Roy did not return immediately, but instead went to Saeko Busujima's hideout.
We need to send this seriously injured collaborator back. Although we don't have any feelings for him, the fact that he died because of him will inevitably leave some resentment in our hearts.
When Roy approached the bushes, he got goosebumps all over, just like when he was being targeted by a sniper rifle at the base gate.
No, it's an even stronger sense of danger!
Roy scanned his surroundings warily, but could not find his target; only that feeling lingered in his mind.
When Roy carefully parted the bushes, what came into view was not Saeko Busujima, but a piece of explosives, its electronic components flashing an eerie red light.
C4 explosives!
Roy's expression changed drastically, and his body reacted instinctively, lunging towards the distance.
boom!
At that very moment, a deafening roar erupted, and the shockwave from the explosion slammed into Roy.
Roy slammed face down onto the ground, feeling as if a sharp knife had sliced through his skin and cut through his muscles.
What followed was an intense burning sensation, as if a ball of fire was burning on my back, causing immense pain.
The explosion at close range ruptured his eardrums, causing him to experience tinnitus, dark red blood flowing from his ears, and his brain felt as if it were about to split open.
"Hahaha, we got it!"
The elderly white man, who had been lying in the grass dozens of meters away, jumped up excitedly. He was wearing a white lab coat and had a large bald head that could reflect the moonlight.
It was the old professor being protected by the U.S. military squad.
In fact, he had been in the monitoring room the whole time, watching Roy from the moment he arrived at the base. At first, he didn't take it seriously until Roy displayed monstrous strength and slaughtered a US military squad.
While Roy was dealing with Warlin and finishing up the last bit of work, planting bombs in the armory, he secretly used the base's secret passage to get here.
He knew Saeko Busujima was hiding here from the initial surveillance cameras.
He's betting that Roy will come back here.
They took Saeko Busujima away beforehand and placed explosives in her original location, which Roy detonated when he approached.
Eric dropped the remote detonator he was holding—it was useless now—and rushed to Roy, his eyes fixed on the boy's body with excitement.
He came to the island nation to investigate the source of the zombie horde. Roy's extraordinary physical abilities convinced him that something must have happened to him, and it wasn't impossible for him to awaken superpowers like in the movies...
Roy struggled to lift his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Saeko Busujima, who had been moved to another patch of grass.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, intense anger filled Roy's chest, as if it would burn away his reason.
"Don't worry, I'll make good use of your body, of course, in the lab!"
"Draw 1000 ml of blood first!"
"No, no, he's too weak. He might die. No, no, no, I have to believe that as a superhuman, he won't die so easily."
But Roy was no longer listening to the old man's mutterings. From Saeko Busujima being shot to his own being blown up, the anger he had accumulated was like a raging fire in a furnace.
His adrenaline surged, and Roy seemed oblivious to the pain. His eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled to support himself on the ground with his hands, like a raging wild beast.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to crush the enemy with the most brutal and powerful attack, so that the other party would never dare to provoke him again!
"You can still stand up? No wonder you're a superhuman. You're more valuable alive than dead," old man Eric said fanatically, pulling out a small pistol, aiming it at Roy, and pulling the trigger without hesitation.
The injected needle pierced Roy's chest.
However, the boy's body remained standing.
Roy stared coldly at the old white man as he walked towards him, showing no sign of being asleep.
"Impossible! This anesthetic would even knock out an adult elephant!" Eric exclaimed incredulously.
"An anesthetic that can numb an adult elephant? You think that can quell my anger!" Roy said coldly, a surge of heat coursing through his body, giving him strength.
[Skill Awakened!]
Title: Blood for Blood!
Effect: Accumulates all attacks received and returns them to the enemy at once. Depending on emotional fluctuations, the damage is increased by different multipliers.
Note: Shifting targets will result in a decrease in damage.
……
Eric couldn't see Roy's golden panel; he only remembered Roy's insane slaughter in the base. The boy in front of him wasn't his lab rat, but a true god of death!
A faint crimson glow emanated from Roy's body, making him look like a demon king emerging from the depths of hell.
"No!" Eric turned to run away, but it was too late. Roy pounced on him like a tiger.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Roy abandoned his good sword, took a step forward and slammed the other man's head into the ground. His fists rained down like a storm, striking the old white man in front of him, the dull thuds of the impact echoing endlessly.
"Please, let me have just one vial of blood, just one. I'm willing to pay any price!"
"I can't die! The loss of my brilliant mind would be a huge loss to all of humanity!"
"Please, please, let me go."
……
The old white man's voice grew weaker and weaker, and his pleas for mercy did not soften Roy's heart in the slightest.
Roy gritted his teeth, each punch he threw seemed to use all his strength, and the white old man's body was smashed into a pulp by his two fists.
Until he breathed his last in despair.
"Huff! Huff!"
Roy collapsed onto the lawn, panting heavily. The crimson glow on his body faded, and he was completely exhausted.
With the skill "Blood for Blood," he will never fall down until he returns the damage he has received to the opponent, even if he suffers a fatal wound!
Roy extracted three different low-grade potions, uncorked them, and drank them all at once.
Different colors of light emanated from its body surface.
A few seconds later, Roy exhaled a breath of stale air. Although he was still in great pain, he was no longer in that dying feeling. He was conscious and looked up.
Fortunately, most of the zombies were drawn to the exploding base, otherwise, given his current terrible condition, it would have been very troublesome.
Roy led Saeko Busujima around the base and entered the military barracks building through a side door with fewer zombies, locking the iron gate behind them.
Perhaps the old man thought Saeko Busujima had some special constitution that allowed her to survive by chance.
Saeko Busujima slowly woke up, feeling a dull pain in her chest, but at least she was not in mortal danger.
"Here are six potions as your reward. Use the red one if you're injured, and the blue one if you're exhausted. With your abilities, you can survive on your own," Roy said. He didn't give you any spirit potions; for someone who can't use magic, those are less useful than two cups of coffee.
Having done all this, without waiting for Saeko Busujima's reply, Roy, whose mind was in a daze, clicked "Return".
