Reincarnated as a rodent!WTF!!!-Chapter 124: Influence 3

"Move" Tom spoke in deepened tone as his muscle bulged filling his armour, his eyes glanced between the S-Ranks that stood in between him and Vice

"Are you going to face the both of us?" Percy put his right foot at the front as a sword formed from thin air in his hand moving his left hand to his back "and abandon your mission"

He smirked as he pointed his blade at Tom

Ivy sighed as her vines spread throughout the landscape climbing over fallen tree's yet seemed to avoid the space around Tom

"Calm down" she sweetened her tone taking a step closer "we can talk this out and there is no need to kill it"

Tom jaw clenched as he looked to Vice, he lowered his center of gravity as he tightened his grip on the axe "that thing has already show it doesn't care about human life"

"The association will see what I did is necessary but" the air around had a red and dark hue to it as the edges edges of his axe extended "even if they don't understand my choice, my morality stands come first"

Percy smirk widened as his eyes glowed blue and air around him had that gentle blue hue to it "for a berserker what morality has that thing broken that it bothers you?"

"Crack"

Ivy took a step back as the ground beneath Tom cracked as he smirked "as berserker the are a few thing I wouldn't do"

The vines near him slithered closer "and one of those thing is give anyone a death that deprives them of honour"

Percy said nothing, that swordmans death was something he wouldn't wish on his worst enemy but they had seem it

Him and Ivy had seen it during those screams it was the reason Tom didn't move until it was done because beneath those scream they felt the cells change in that body

"Huff" Tom breathing could now be heard as the silence thickened

No one moved because even a second was enough to exchange a hundred blows they waited then

Vice took a step toward that C-Rank with a smirk plastered on his face then

"BOOM" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Tom vanished shattering the ground and in that instant his blade was already inches away from Vice neck

"Clink"

He snarled as Percy's blade stopped his axe again, he vanished as vines peirced the air he once stood in.

Vice took his second another step

Tom's figures appeared next to Ivy his axe swing down on her then

Vines swirled around her forming a cocoon and Tom swang his axe at it 30 times before it cracked open but then

"Dammmm...." a vine around his leg threw him into the air

As his body flew through the air he saw Percy figure vanish were Vice was still taking his step

Percy figures appeared where his figure was falling to and Ivy vines surged to the air threatening to kill him on contract

He gritted his teeth and swang in his axe around him cutting 50 of the 6543 vines aiming to pierce his body [Rampage]

His eyes that were already red turned bloodshot and those 50 slashes he made turned to thousands as his fell to Percy

He grinned seeing Percy usual smirk [Rapid tide]

His sword moved as it was a tide of blades and Tom flipped in the air and the first blade missed his head yet the were still millions waiting for him then

[Rampage ×10] the vains in his nect turned back as he swang down his axe at Percy blades

The ground beneath Percy feet diced as his sword and Tom axe clashed a million times in less than a second

Ivy vines swirled around them and the vines near the exchange turned to dust as every blow now seemed to make a crater

She stretched out her hand feeling the vines moved around them she shut her eyes seeing Tom in the her cacoon then

She clenched her hand and in that moment Tom defence had been breached as vices grazed him

And Percy smirk as Tom's blood dripped on to his armour

"Hrrr"

He gritted his teeth as another vine pierced his arm.

Vice took his third step.

Tom's blows that were once in the millions were slowing down and Percy's blade now threatened to kill him as it grazed his neck

Percy eyes widened as Tom's blood shot eyes turn dark, no eris could be seen

"You wouldn't dare" as those word left Percy's lips, Tom glanced for the vines above his head

[Impact]He swang his axe again and it clashed with Percy blade as usual but this time as it deflected Tom stepped on the blade and jumped to the vines

Cutting anything in his path

"Hrrrr"

He groaned as a few vines pierced through his armour then

"Ivy stop him!!..." Percy voice echoed through the vines as Tom broke through the cocoon of vines.

Vice took his fourth step

Tom figure still in the air he turned to the vines behind him that lunged at him[Impact]

He hit the vines with the blunt of his axe and stepped on them as they swayed away from him he turned to the bunker that was past Vice

"...he going to use carnage!!!!" Percy echo finished as Ivy eyes widened Tom bounced of his vines to the bunker

She gritted her teeth and raise her hand into the air, every vine that once lay on the ground lunged into the air

Tom nostrils flared as he pulled his axe back looking at the bunker [Carnage]

His axe turned as dark as his eyes as he threw it into the air, a thousands vines beneath him pierced his body

And his limbs went limp as they sucked his blood while his axe sliced through the air heading for the bunker

Percy rushed past Vice as Toms eyes turned back to normal and his last breath threatened to leave his body

[Eternal stream] as Percy foot touched the ground his figure moved as if water heading to the human who was in it way of the axe

"Clink"

"Clink"

"Clink"

....

..

.

As Vice took his firth step raising his hand to grabbed the C-Rank women, Percy figure clashed with an axe that seemed to have a mind of it own

It bounced off his blade onto the ground curling to the next human but Percy streamed in front of it and it finally bounced out of the hole as the humans crouched down on the floor

The axe spinned in the air the fell but faster that could gravity possibly push it and it was falling where there was only 2 living figures beneath it

Vice and the C-Rank women

Ivy eyes widened but her vines moved as the axe severed the air itself in two, her vines slithered faster than lightning

"Thud"

The axe drew blood but Ivy vines had already cacooned Vice and the women

"No" Percy spoke as he looked at the axe as it sucked the blood out of the deformed body of the swordsman

"Get ready" he raised his sword and Ivy vines let Tom's body fall that was taking its last breath

The axe flew back to the falling body cutting every vine that tried to grab its hilt and the once the deformed body of the swordsman had turned drier than a leaf

The technique carnage was the reason why berserks were considered immoral because the skill allows its user to grow stronger in battle temporarily by killing anything but

At a higher rank the skill morphs into something that no longer requires a life instead blood is enough for it to work

The axe cut the last vine and placed its self in Tom's motionless fingers then

Blood flowed into Tom body but this time something was different it wasn't normal blood but evolved blood

And Tom grinned as he felt the difference because where his wound were supposed to heal now they healed and he received the benefits of boosted strength

"It seems that skill of yours wasn't all bad" he flipped

Thud"

And landed on the ground, he looked to the cocoon then

"AAAAAAHHHHH" a womens screamed echoed through the vines and he smirked as he dropped his armour that was now filled with holes

"Thud"

"Do you know how many people I would to kill to feel this way?" he bounced side to side as he looked at them "the plan was to follow the government order and kill that thing before the association could get it"

He grinned as the air around him turned chillingly dark "but now I'm going to keep it"

"Tsk" Percy click his tongue as he took a step closer his blade pointed at Tom "your a government spy"

"No" he shock his head smiling "I prefer the term private mercenary"

Ivy took a step closer snarling "I know mercenaries that have more integrity that you"

"Now why would you say that thorn princess" Tom lowered his center of gravity with his axe on his shoulder "is because I'm going to disobey my client for some blood"

"if you felt what I felt you'd know it was worth it" he smirked as he looked at the cocoon "or don't tell me you think that the association will let you use that thing power to cure your brother"

Her jaw clenched but said nothing and did nothing as her vines slithered rapidly on the ground both of them had felt it

If Tom had killed the other humans he wouldn't be this strong but he would have been strong enough to fight longer but never on a level where he could threaten to kill both of them

Now they waited not for a flaw in each defence but for the scream beneath the cocoon to stop, for them to see how far that creatures skill went

Percy took another step "Im wondering how many people would it take for you to feel like that?" He forced a smile

"Hahhahaaaha" Tom laughed getting out of his fighting stance "to feel this thousands would need to die..."

"..Now lets begin" their eyes widened as they looked at his bloodshot eyes, for Tom even if Vice skill failed its benefit were evident but for them blood wasn't enough to risk everything then

As the screams went silent an unfamiliar voice spoke "you humans are quite brave"

Ivy and Percy took a step back as they looked at the 10 figure that seemed human but their pupils told a different story

Tom glance back at the figures "scram while I'm still being nice"

In an instant kill intent filled the air, scales appeared on their flawless skin

Tom grinned as he looked at them but Ivy and Percy raised their hands then

Every vine in the area vanished, Percy eyes widened he turned to where Ivy once stood and her figure was gone

He turned to where the cocoon was but nothing remained then

"Fuck" Tom cursed "where is that thing" ignoring the dragons in front of him
