Glutton Berserker ch.120
Sorry for the late release. I was waiting until I finished subbing the FGO new CM for GGC’s new chapter post.
Oh also, the other day I got the complete illustrations for Glutton Berserker vol.5. I’ll updating and incorporate them to the chapters later. More info will be released on the next batch.
Enjoy the chapter~
Chapter 120 – Fruit of Innocence
The goblin shaman, despite its battered and weakened body, raised its shakujo. (TL Note: Shakujo is also known as the “pilgrim’s staff” or “bishop’s staff”, is an ancient and highly symbolic Buddhist item originating in India.)
[This land…..is…..the gate. My…power.]
We advanced to cut it down to settle the matter once and for all. But at the same time, the surrounding containers also broke down one after another.
[What’s going on…..]
[It should have been dead, but….]
Along with the red solution, the corpses also sprawled on the floor. But then they started getting up despite with some struggle. Impossible, they should’ve been dead already.
[Fate, let them go! They are no longer human]
[Are you kidding me…]
[Aaron, what about their stats?]
I asked Aaron to check the newly emerging opponent, as he’s the only one among the two of us with appraisal skill. I just want to know how strong these guys are after reaching Area E.
[Umu, these monster-like people are called Ogres. Their stats are pretty much that of the early Area E. The goblin shaman at the back is not yet Area E but very near to it. We should try to finish it off without attracting the ogres.]
[Yes]
[Fate!]
Aaron managed to pull me away at the last second, saving me from that attack.
[Uuooooooooooo]
He didn’t stop there though. Without stopping, he stepped in and drove his holy sword to the ogre’s head.
[Its’ power is immense, but the attack is easy to read. Even orcs can use their heads better.]
Apparently twenty was more than the goblin shaman could handle given its current situation. As Aaron pointed out, the ogres’ movement is rather dull and readable.
[Still a surprising art there. It is really an eye opener for me.]
[Why……there… is…always…..something…..getting…. in…..the way…of my…research]
[Kuh, the holy sword is eroded.]
I immediately offered Roxy’s sword to Aaron, but was rejected.
[I have my commitment to my sword as a swordsman. Just like milord does. It may be a little worn out, but I can still fight with it. Well, Fate. Do you not think it is too crowded here?]
[Could it be….. Aaron!?]
[Indeed it is. I actually wanted to leave this room intact for later examination…..but that would not do if we die here. I will bury them all here.]
Without letting me to argue back, Aaron already launched a holy sword technique towards the goblin shaman at the back of the ogres pack.
Seeing that, apparently noticing what Aaron is about to do, the ogres quickly attempted to stop him.
[Too late, Grand Cross!]

[Fate, let us leave. . ]
[Kyaaaaaaa]
[The goblin shaman has not been defeated yet, it seems]
[I can see that. By that way…..I wonder where Miria is at the moment….]
[Do not be worried. I was quite sure that she was nowhere near the ceiling when I crumbled it. Look at those trees on the lower left.]
If one looked closely, they would see the girl was seemingly complaining to us while hiding behind a tree. I couldn’t hear her voice, but she’s probably spouting something like, are you trying to kill me! You damn battle maniacs! The only battle maniac here is Aaron though.
[Good to see that you’re still that energetic.]
[I’m miffed. The ground just caved in all of a sudden.]
[Hahahahah!]
[Don’t laugh!]
[The battlefield has become wider. We can move more freely now. Although, it is the same with the opponent. Shall we go, Fate!]
[Yeah, this time around for sure.]
[I will finish things before my sword break down!]
Who was that!? I thought it was Aaron, but what followed was a female voice.
[This is the moment! Deal the finishing blow!!]
It was Mimir, still in her maid uniform, but with a holy sword in her hand.
[Gooooooooooo!]
Mimir’s surprise attack proved to be useful. The goblin shaman’s guard was wide open. My holy sword swiftly sunk into its heart.
[Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
=====
[It’s not over yet.]
I turned around in response to that female voice, that belonged to a familiar gray haired woman. Her face was expressionless, reminded me of Myne’s.
[Luna!]
[Good grief…. Switching body like that, making things hard for me]
[Haha…..sorry.]
[If I weren’t there, Roxy’s soul would’ve been eaten by the Gluttony skill already. You owe me big time.]
Luna punched me half-heartedly. That similarly strong audacity, they really are like sisters…..tohoho.
[Well then, how should I repay you back?]
[Simple………..I want you, to stop my sister.]
[Well, I still have no idea what this door is all about. Greed won’t tell me either.]
[That guy is always like that. As for me, I wouldn’t know unless I tried it myself. It’s about to begin….no, it’s already begin….I can feel it.]
[Is it not good?]
[Ee…no one will be happy about it. So of course.]
[Thank you. I can’t thank you enough for protecting Roxy. As for Myne, I will do it in due time.]
[Hey, wait a moment]
Luna hurriedly grabbed my hand with an apologetic look on her face. What’s the matter. She rarely looked like this.
[Roxy has seen this place, and probably realized your current condition.]
[……I see…….so that’s it]
The only thing that came out from me was a dry laugh. Luna tried to press the importance once more.
[That girl, you won’t be able to deceive her anymore eventually. The time will come someday. You and I know it already…]
