Rise of the Strongest War God

Chapter 32  Derek

Immediately, he tilted his head to the side.

Because he reacted late, even though the dart didn't pierce his head, it still left a deep gash on his cheek.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before he could sigh in relief, several more darts came flying at him from different angles, leaving no room for him to dodge.

At the same time, he heard the man's reckless laughter. "Haha, you stupid bastard. Did you think I had some mental problem? Haha. Go die."

Seeing that he couldn't evade all the darts in time, his gaze focused and his grasp on the sword hilt tightened. Activating the [Berserk] once again, he brandished the sword, slashing it in every direction with at the fastest speed possible for him.

When the man realized what Luke wanted to do, he mockingly laughed. "You aren't fast enough to…"

He wanted to say that Luke wasn't fast enough to pull it off, but when he saw the scene playing out in front of him, the latter words stuck in his throat and his face revealed a stunned expression.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Luke's sword hit every dart, breaking some and deflecting others.

Whoosh! New chapters are publɪshed on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

After taking care of all the flying darts, he moved toward the man who still hadn't recovered from the shock earlier and stabbed his sword towards his face.

The man finally reacted when he saw the sword inching toward his face at a horrifying speed and hurriedly tried to move his head to the side to dodge.

Pierce!

However, how could he be faster than Luke's sword? He hadn't moved his head even an inch when the sword pierced through his left eyes and all the way to the back of his head.

"Nooooooo…!" Just before he died, he let out an unwilling cry.

Inside the room this man was guarding, an ugly-looking man was reclining on a chair, staring at the beautiful young girl lying unconscious on the bed in front of him with a burning gaze. From her complexion, one could tell she was sick.

This girl was Julia and the ugly-looking man was the left camp leader, Derek.

Just as Lori told Luke, Derek had a crush on Julia and wanted to have her from the first time he saw her. However, Julia never even bothered to spare him a glance.

He repeatedly proposed to her, but she rejected him every time.

After trying so many times, he knew he couldn't have her the normal way. So, he started stalking her and one time he tried to kidnap her when she was coming back from the college but fortunately, some passers-by saved her.

When Lori found out what happened, she reported him to the city's police. However, he had some connections with the city's high authorities. So, he only got a warning and not any punishment.

Fortunately, it seemed that warning had worked, and he stopped harassing Julia from then on.

Looking at her pale complexion, Derek frowned. "Why isn't she getting better?"

When he found her, he immediately wanted to have his way with her, but seeing that she was sick, he decided to wait as it wouldn't be fun to play with a sick person.

To help her become healthy sooner, he even gave her the only vitality gem he got after killing a zombie. According to the description, it should've increased by vitality by one point and improved her health, but there was no obvious improvement.

"Damn it. I don't care anymore." He shouted out in frustration and started taking off his clothes, ready to have his way with her.

However, just then, he heard the horrified cry from outside.

He paused and frowned. "What's happening?"

Hurriedly putting on his clothes back, he picked up an axe from the corner of the room and walked out of the room.

Julia, who was 'unconscious', opened her eyes after he went out.

Ha!

She gasped for breath because she was almost not breathing when Derek was in the room, afraid that he would force himself on her if he knew she had regained her consciousness.

"Why? Why has it become like this?" She murmured in a desolate voice, tears streaming down her eyes.

…

Thud!

Luke kicked the dead body away, freeing his sword.

After deactivating the [Berserk] skill, he picked up some darts from the ground before hurrying toward the room this man was guarding. He knew his final cry must have alerted that left leader.

Just as he arrived in front of the room, the door opened and an ugly-looking man with an axe in his hand walked out.

When Derek saw Luke appear in front of him, he didn't bother asking who he was and why he was here and directly went for the kill, smashing his axe towards Luke's head.

Whoosh!

Luke was already on guard. He kicked the ground and jumped to the side, easily dodging the strike.

Bang!

The axe smashed against the ground, breaking the cement floor and sending small pieces of rocks flying.

Seeing this, Luke was surprised. He could see the strength behind this strike was easily over 20 points. Furthermore, this was without him using any skill.

Seeing how easily Luke dodge his sudden strike, Derek was also surprised and knew he wasn't an easy opponent.

"Who are you, and why did you kill my guards?" He coldly asked, pointing to the two corpses.

Luke didn't answer his question and instead asked, "You are the left camp leader, right?"

Right as he said this, he flicked his fingers.

"What do you want?" Derek asked, also not replying.

"Your life." Luke smiled.

Right as he said this, he flicked his fingers.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three darts flew at Derek at breakneck speed. One head toward his forehead, two toward his chest and stomach.

Thanks to his weapon mastery skills, he knew how to handle most kinds of weapons, including projectiles such as these darts.

When Derek realized what was happening, the darts were only a foot away from him.

He hurriedly tilted his head to the side. Although he managed to evade the dart, heading for his head, the other two found their target.

Ting! Ting!

However, after the darts pieced his shirt, they seemed to have to find some obstruction and fell to the ground.

"I'll kill you, bastard!" Derek gave an angry shouted. Although the darts didn't injure him because he was wearing the protective vest beneath his shirt, the impact stung him.

Whoosh!

However, before he could take action, Luke rushed at him and slashed with his faintly glowing sword.
