Chapter 1677 1672: Berserk
As for the Oni Family, their martial strength was originally quite formidable.After the millennium holy war in the Middle Ages, it became even more prominent.
In the situation where many Wolf Kings had perished in battle.
With an injured but undying Wolf Emperor holding fort, plus several Wolf Kings.
The Oni Family vaulted to become the mightiest among all Werewolf forces.
And the grandfather of Baseth, that Wolf Emperor, was originally a member of the Elder Council within Werewolf forces.
After numerous Wolf Emperors perished, he undoubtedly became the guardian deity of the Werewolf Clan, garnering a large following.
It's just that he rarely intervened in the internal affairs of the Werewolf Clan.
Otherwise, even the position of Clan Leader within the Werewolf Clan would have already been seized by the Oni Family.
However, the Great Elder knew that once all power was concentrated in the hands of one family, the decline of the Werewolf Clan was likely imminent.
He was well aware of his son's ambitions.
Therefore, when the Family Head of the Jela Family, the Clan Leader of the entire Werewolf Clan, wanted to entrust the position of Clan Leader to his son, he refused.
But he often wasn't present within the clan, and couldn't possibly manage the younger generations below.
Perhaps Baseth's father had lost the confidence to vie for domination.
But that didn't mean Baseth had not.
And with the favor of his second and third uncle, he put all this into action.
Baseth's talent and strength were slightly inferior to Su Chen.
But within the Werewolf Clan, he was equally outstanding, with few peers able to match him.
Even among the older generation of Level Nine Werewolves, few could best him.
But unfortunately, he encountered Dean, such a genius, and not just him.
On the Blood Trace Platform, the Level Seven Werewolf he battled might still be someone more perverse than Dean.
Baseth was one hundred percent sure if Dean only had the strength of a Level Seven Werewolf.
Then even if he was tied up with one hand to fight Dean, he guaranteed he could win.
But Su Chen...
Alright, he had to admit, Su Chen was very strong, strong to the point of being a freak!
Baseth's persuasion for Su Chen to surrender was completely dismissed.
If what was standing in front of him now was the Su Chen of before.
Then maybe he still had a chance.
Because Su Chen and Dean were unfamiliar, seeing internal strife within the Werewolves, he would rather watch from the sidelines.
But alas, that Su Chen had lost his memory.
Right now, the Su Chen before Baseth was a straightforward person.
Dean was his brother, well, at least currently Su Chen acknowledged him.
And he's already immersed in the role, he is Ultraman Tiga!
"Big dog, if that's all you've got, then we can end this between us!"
From start to finish, Su Chen never used any move from the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique, nor did he use any move from the Destruction Triplet secret technique.
What he relied on were just the killing skills honed through combat as a Special Soldier!
If it weren't for Baseth being tough-skinned and a top-tier existence among Level Nine Werewolves.
He would've already been defeated, not hanging on precariously now.
Su Chen, after initially adapting, now fully crushed Baseth.
Initially, Su Chen was suppressed, not because he was intentionally hiding his abilities, but because he hadn't fully accustomed to the power he possessed.
In the subsequent fight, his exhibited abilities entirely emanated from instinct.
A warrior's instinct.
Yet, at this moment, Su Chen had lost his memory.
Otherwise, even Su Chen himself might have already noticed the anomalies.
His power had increased.
Even at the Initial Rank of the Saint Realm, he possessed strength no weaker than before at the High Rank of the Saint Realm.
Especially in terms of physical strength, it had clearly surpassed the previous level considerably.
"Bastard, don't think I can't kill you!" If it weren't for the abundant fur on Baseth's face, it would probably be flushed red like a monkey's buttocks by now.
Su Chen had no intention of settling things peacefully.
At this moment, he only wanted to defeat Baseth!
"Since you're hell-bent on dying, then I'll grant you that wish!"
"Berserk!" Baseth let out a low growl.
Baseth, who was originally over five meters tall, suddenly had his physique swell another fifty centimeters.
Most conspicuous was a tuft of silvery hair growth on Baseth's forehead.
It's a symbol that only appears after becoming a Wolf King.
Baseth...
Could Baseth be breaking through in the field?!
This scene instantly drew the attention of the entire venue, even though Su Chen seemed still to hold an advantage.
But there's no doubt, once Baseth breaks through to the Wolf King Realm, it would be a one-sided crush.
There was inherently an unbridgeable gulf between a Wolf King and a Level Nine Werewolf.
Moreover, the opponent Baseth was battling was still a Level Seven Werewolf.
Without uncertainty, after Baseth's breakthrough, no surprises should happen in the battle, right?
But amidst the crowd, there were a few whose expressions changed again and again.
Firstly, the one whose expression changed drastically wasn't anyone else.
It was Baseth's second uncle, Casey Wolf King.
Others assumed Baseth was breaking through to become a Wolf King, but Casey knew he wasn't.
"This fool!"
Casey couldn't help but murmur under his breath.
Soon, the other two Wolf Kings also noticed something.
Although Baseth's forehead did grow a tuft of silvery hair.
His aura hadn't undergone any major change.
This meant Baseth wasn't stepping into the Wolf King Realm!
"Baseth, you're using a Forbidden Technique!" Dean's reaction was equally quick.
He was suddenly startled aware that Baseth employed a Forbidden Technique that consumed life potential to forcibly enhance his power, known as Berserk!
This Berserk ability has significant side effects, not only causing the user's life to wane but also affecting their potential.
If the level of Berserk activation is deep, it might even lead to losing the qualification for any further advancement after a single use.
More severely, it could directly cause the user to lose their senses.
Turning them into a frenzied werewolf knowing only slaughter.
Just like some newly awakened wild werewolves, muddle-headed, only knowing killing.
But the frenzy of wild werewolves is reversible.
Over time, the frenzy becomes controllable.
After transformation, they won't lose their senses.
But for those who actively use frenzied power like this.
Once they lose their senses, that equates to permanently losing them, devolving into a killing machine.
During the millennium holy war period, many werewolf sages sacrificed themselves for righteousness.
Using deep Berserk abilities, they rapidly increased their strength, slaying many warriors of the Bright Church.
But afterward, for recuperation purposes, frenzy-type powers were all classified as Forbidden Techniques, not learned or used casually.
But as the heir of the Oni Family.
Accessing Forbidden Techniques wasn't a problem for Baseth at all.
Originally, Baseth had no need to employ Berserk at all for this battle.
His opponent was merely a Level Seven Werewolf.
Baseth was well aware of Berserk's side effects.
The loss of Life Force, though it could be tolerated.
But the consumption of potential, that's something indefinite.
Baseth, as the heir of the Oni Family, harbored his own ambitions.
