Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~ Chapter 78 – Fourth Form

It’s been over two months since the fight with Tenryu in Gallia.

The end of the winter was near. But the spring seed to be still far ahead..

It’s snowing badly at the place where I am now, it’s definitely a no-go for a horse drawn carriage.

Apparently…..there were vineyards on each side of the road, although it’s covered in snow now.

We continued forward along the snow covered path into a pure white plains.

I visited this place once before. It was with Roxy back then, so it’s from quite a while ago. It’s where I harvested so grapes with her, but I couldn’t really tell where it is now since the territory of Heart family suffered severe winters.

After passing through rows and rows of houses, I arrived at the front of the largest house.

It’s a nostalgic place. I never thought before that I would return here .

First, take a deep breath, and knock on the door.

There was no reply…..When the bad feeling rose up on my mind as I opened the unlocked door, the servants were rushing in panic. They don’t usually do this, so it’s easy to tell that there was sothing wrong.

However, even though I could be counted as a trespassing intruder, the nearest maid still called out to .

As the maid gave a look, she raised her voice in surprise.

[What’s the matter? You are, Fate right? Fate Graphite who ca from the Royal Capital with Roxy-sama to harvest so grapes?]

I’m alone this ti, but that aside, Maya-san who was the maid I t when I visited here before seed to be afraid of sothing. First of all, it’s necessary to dispel her fear. Thus I started to tell my story.

[Roxy Heart-sama is save. She’ll return ho after the assignnt on Gallia is over.]

Maya-san’s face beca relaxed upon hearing that. Then why did I co here? In the case of that question, I showed it to her.

It’s a natural reaction. So I removed my cloak and showed an emblem.

[This…what do you an?]

[It’s just as you can tell. I’m sorry but, I want to see Aisha Heart-sama. Is that okay?]

[That’s…]

Maya-san’s complexion changed as soon as she saw the emblem. In any case, I also ran out of words.

Judging from the situation of this mansion and Maya-san’s attitude, I could already tell.

[So her condition isn’t well, is she?]

[…yes. Her physical condition broke down yesterday evening. If the doctor didn’t co imdiately…]

[I see….]

[At the mont, I’m trying to arrange so horse ssenger to inform Roxy-sama. But]

There was a strong blizzard outside. It’ll be reckless to go out on a horseback at this weather.

I tried to cheer the depressed Maya-san.

[It’s alright. It’s exactly why I ca here. I have a promise I need to fulfill to Aisha-sama.]

[Promise?]

[Yeah, an important promise.]

From back then, it did took quite a long ti, but here I am.

My attitude which didn’t seem to accept a no for an answer, as well as the emblem I brought, pressured Maya-san to guide to Aisha-sama’s bedroom.

The other servants we passed along the way stopped to stare at , but I had no ti explain.

When I entered the bedroom with Maya-san, Aisha-sama was lying on the canopied bed. Even with just a glance, I could already tell the urgency.

Around her, there were employees and an old man who seed to be the doctor.

Everyone wore a surprised look at the intrusion. So I tried to explain myself.

[I’m sorry for the sudden intrusion, but I have little ti. I’m Fate Barbatos. I’ve inherited the position as the head of the Barbatos family from Sword Saint Aaron Barbatos. I’ll be taking over the treatnt of Aisha-sama from now on. It’ll be helpful if you people moved away a little.]

I showed the emblem with Barbatos family coat of arms on it to everyone as I approached Aisha-sama who was sleeping on the bed.

The old man who seed to be the doctor raised his voice.

[Treatnt!? I don’t know. Up until now I’ve tried everything I can….I think it’s….already]

The old man’s shoulder drooped. I put my hand on his shoulder, and reassured him.

[It’s still possible. Please look at this left arm]

[An arm without any scratches, why does it has anything to do with this?]

[I lost my left arm a few months ago. But I do have a power that allowed to regrow it back.]

[Impossible….such thing is impossible. Impossible…]

The doctor could only distrust for what I said. It’ll be not that easy after all… Being able to restore a lost arm isn’t sothing that make any sense in this world. Since he’s a doctor, I can actually understand why he doubted .

However, I couldn’t afford to stop here. When I was about to force myself through, Aisha-sama regained her consciousness.

And firmly looked at with her empty stare.

[…well…..Fate. You finally ca….I’m glad.]

[Yes, because I’ve promised you.]

[Then…can you tell the answer….from that ti?]

I didn’t answer to that imdiately,

[Before I do that, can you do favor? I want to see Aisha-sama to be healthy first.]

[……but I…..already…… Understood.. When that ti cos….please tell the answer.]

[Yeah, of course.]

Since I already got her consent, the doctor couldn’t say anything else.

Then, I imdiately took out Greed from under my cloak. The pitch black staff――his fourth form.

In order to master this, I had to repeatedly shed my own blood. Those two were devils and demons….both Myne and Eris wouldn’t accept any mistakes on my part while they taught . I don’t really want to recall the experience, since it was THAT harsh.

In comparison to that, training with Aaron was a joyride.

[Greed, are you ready?]

『Yes, anyti. You already know this, but I’ll be taking ４０％ of your stats as per usual.』

[That’s a cheap price to pay.]

『Hahaha, if you say so. Then I shall take it, ４０％ of your stats!』

Along with the feeling of weakness, Greed started to change shape. The previously elegant and beautiful staff, turned into sothing horrendous.

The other servants were scared that they backed down. Maya-san, among the clamoring, hid her head while crouching.

I activated the secret of the fourth form, twilight healing.

There is no recovery magic in this world. But it’s now possible, with this thod.

The requirent is using up 40% of my stats that had reached Area E. Also, this secret couldn’t be used to resuscitate soone who had already died. And if the physical damage that the target suffered was great, the stat cost will be even greater.

Even so, I can see the great possibilities from this form. For example, I could use it to save the life of an important person.

A scarlet flow of magic was invoked over Aisha-sama’s body, and a whitish fla covered her body. The treatnt has begun.

Thanks to the fla healing property, her complexion started to grow better in a visible rate.

The servants, who were rather disappointed at first, now beca relaxed after looking at her condition.

By the ti the invocation is completed, Aisha-sama seed completely refreshed. She touched her body, trying to comprehend what has just happened.

And afterward, she turned towards , and smiled.

[I can see that you’ve been working hard. To think you’d be able to do such a mysterious thing]

[That’s right, Aisha-sama]

After laughing to each other for a short while, Aisha asked.

[Now can you tell , your answer?]

[…..Roxy Heart needs you. As her imdiate relative, I need you to watch over her wherever she goes. That’s why I ca here. I’m no longer the Fate Graphite from that ti. Right now, I’m Fate Barbatos, the head of the Barbatos family.]

Aisha-sama seemingly thought about sothing, but otherwise remained silent.

When I was about to leave the room, I heard a voice.

[About this, does that child know?]

[No.]

[Right….]

When I closed the door behind , I could faintly hear [This will definitely surprise Roxy. I’m going to need to see the state of the Kingdom now!].

I think I’d made Aisha-sama to be too healthy….While feeling a little uneasy, I left the mansion.

I ca back to the snowy road, and joined the one who’d been waiting for on the huge tree atop the hill. Her hair was pure white like the color of snow. On her back was a huge black axe disproportionate with her small young body.

She asked with an expressionless face as I ca over.

[Is the errand over?]

[Yeah, it was a good decision to rush in. I would’ve been late if otherwise.]

[Right, good to hear that. Then let’s go.]

We aid for the Kingdom on the snowy road. Other than that, Eris had arrived there in advance.

If I let her wait for too long, I’d no idea what she’d do to later on. I also get to et that bar owner again, and I’ll be asking for that good wine he’d talked about back then.
