Dark Berserker: Rise of the Forgotten Progenitor

Chapter 15: Medusa, the ice gem snake

Voluptuous women swayed their bodies to the rhythm of strange music. A transparent white cloth hid their boobs and waists.

And it made them even more tempting. Their lustrous locks of hair cascaded down their slender backs and their skin possessed a glow that yearned for attention.

Precious jewels hung around their necks. A bright blue pendant rested between their magnetic white mountains.

Their cleavage was so deep that he could get lost inside.

An internal battle erupted in his mind as a seductive whisper corrupted his thoughts. Urging him to go to the beauties.

At the same time, it felt so strange. His memories blurred as he doubted if he was really in a forest moments ago.

He turned and several women and men scantily dressed filled the large hall. Countless beauties swarm in a massive pool that dominates the middle of the hall.

He could hear moans, laughter, and tempting giggles. The luxurious nature of the people confused him. They made plates and cups from gold and silver.

Their jewelry was authentic gold. A dream for countless men and women.

A heavenly place to relax, eat sumptuous dishes meant for kings, bed first-class beauties exclusively kept for royalty, wear the beast jewelry, and live a life without worry.

A voluptuous beauty, with a massive chest, wide hips, and fat buttocks, that the linen cloth that could be ripped with a mere tug couldn't hide. Her elegant gait swirled with a seductive purpose.

Her slender waist became more pronounced, for the glimmering accessory to her waist drew attention to her flat tummy and cute navel.

She stuck out her tongue and lathered her plump lips. The saliva made her red lips more inviting. Yearning for a passionate kiss.

He shook his head and blinked, but the seductive woman did not vanish. 'Is she real?' he queried internally.

And a whisper answered him, urging him to embrace his carnal desires and indulge in the pleasures of the flesh.

Cristian's will slowly crumble as the voluptuous woman began dancing before him while pressing her softness against his pants.

The other side gained more ground as two more women arrived. Their electric touches made his spine tingle, and he gulped.

"I'm real, Lord Athelstone," the first woman spoke, leaned closer, and licked his neck. Cristian's eyes shot open, and he created a respectful distance.

Separating himself from the women. Their eyes shone with bewilderment and one giggled and whispered to the other.

Strangely, her words rang in her ears. "He's shy."

Those words riled him up. Every fiber of his being urged pounding this woman till she lost the ability to walk.

From an unknown source, rage seeped into his mind, corrupting his thoughts and molding them toward filling these women up.

His eyes became clouded, and with large strides, he arrived before the first woman and ripped off the cloth that covered her chest.

Her massive white mountains jiggled and the other voice pushed him to stuff these delicious-looking boobs into his mouth.

He grabbed her boobs roughly, and the woman moaned. Her seductive moan fueled his desire and his lips etched toward her mounds.

"Lord Athelstone"

Another woman purred as she planted kisses on his neck. Along with those words, Lia's voice echoed and his eyes widened.

His expression changed as green flames burned in his emerald eyes and the lustful desires and whispers vanished.

[New class skill unlocked: Eyes of Truth and Mind.]

[Eyes of truth and mind: see through any deceptions and facade. All inner thoughts will be laid bare before thine eyes, manipulating the hearts.]

The hall and everything within burned like wallpaper, and he found himself back in the forest, but he wasn't alone.

Hiss~

He raised his head and almost fainted from an enormous snake with a head so large that it could match the size of a compact car gazed at him.

Its bucket-sized attractive blue eyes bore deep into him. He marveled at the ivory white rhombus-shaped scales that matched its eyes.

The remaining length disappeared in the fog, but from what he could see, its length would be impossible to imagine

An angry hiss left its lips, the exposed fangs dripped with an icy liquid. A single droplet froze a good portion of the grasses and sent chills down his spine.

Goosebumps popped all over his body as a scalding feeling of being powerless enveloped him. The fog must have been because of the ice affinity of the snake, and he couldn't figure out how such an enormous creature would consider a tiny human like him.

He couldn't even fill the gaps in its teeth.

His fingers felt cold, not due to the snake's affinity but because of fear. 'Inspect,' he muttered inwardly, to see if he had any chance of survival.

[Ice gem snake]

[Name: Medusa]

[level:?? Tier: ??]

[Innate skills: illusion, ice, ???]

'There's no hope then. Why didn't you go with that!' Cristian screamed inwardly. His muscular frame trembled, and he slowly lowered his torso.

"I won't eat you, Human," a seductive voice left Medusa's mouth and her forked tongue flickered. The hiss that left her lips seemed to resonate with the forest.

Her voice was enough to melt other thoughts in her prey's mind and make them submit themselves. The allure drilled deep and reformed the thoughts, making them trust her words.

"I know," he said with a positive nod, and the next moment, Cristian bolted, like a hunting cheetah, and he vanished into the depths.

Medusa's eyes flashed with fury. Cristian's actions seemed stupid and annoying to her.

No one had met her and escaped, and this prey had a special scent. One that could guarantee her success to the next tier.

She had been searching for a way to bypass the harsh evolution mission given by the system and eating this human could solve her problems.

However, she got curious when he broke her illusion. A mere tier 0 human with no bloodline to speak of. It sparked her intuition to know more, but when he ran, fury clouded her eyes.

He could hear the snake closing the distance and despite pouring everything he had into his legs, the outcome remained the same.

Suddenly, he felt a biting cold creep up his back and he fell to the ground. That action saved his life as the trees and grasses ahead became ice sculptures.

Everything, even the ground, was included.

Whirring sounds drilled into his ears and he shot off the ground and bolted in another direction. Spinning ice petals sliced everything in their path as they followed him like homing missiles.

'You have got to be kidding me!' he yelled internally, grabbed a branch, and spun around.

His abrupt change of direction made an ice petal pierce into the trunk of a thick tree and it melted after a while.

The trees made it hard for Medusa to catch up with Cristian and he knew that, which was why he moved deep into the forest.

Running back to the red line would be a stupid thing as the trees there were sparse and he would be a cornered prey.

And as he said, he wasn't prepared to die, not now, not ever!

He could hear trees being uprooted due to the snake's massive size. And as he moved further away, Medusa couldn't control her fury and her magic went out of control.

An ice blast shattered everything in its path, coating them in ice and also enveloping the place in fog.

Cristian couldn't rest after dealing with the ice petals because the alarming presence of the ice blast made his mind spin into action.

He kept running, for it got weaker, but Cristian found out he could not outrun the blast and while it approached, he hid behind a tall tree.

Bam! The ice blast finally died, but it had hit the tree and the impact uprooted the tree and froze it. The impact had sent Cristian into the air, which was a good thing, for he would have frozen, but another problem arose.

He rolled on the ground. The rough landing made groans leave his lips, and his face became ruddy.

[Health: 80 {100} - 20]

He sighed while gazing at his life bar. Blood stained his teeth as that impact had broken four ribs.

But he didn't lose hope, as the gushing sound of a waterfall gave him a method of escaping.
