A Berserker Reborn

Guts, Casca and Puck left Rickert and Erica. They moved towards Elfhelm, the home of Puck. Hopefully, that's the place where Guts will be able to upgrade his weapon once and for all.

"Puck, is anyone in Elfhelm who can make my sword stronger?"

Puck looked at Guts before he started thinking about it. For a few seconds, he thought about something and looked at Guts.

"Well, I guess the elf queen can maybe enchant your sword. But I don't really know all that about magic."

Guts nodded, his eye going down to his pouch. Inside the pouch are 3 Beherits he gained from killing those apostles. He knows that Skull Knight fuses these Beherits with his own sword.

If that is what allows him to harm the Godhand, then that is what he was going to do. Dragon Slayer itself is already strong, it carries the evil of everything the sword killed.

If it is enchanted with magic. Fused with the 3 Beherits. It should theoretically make it stronger than even Skull Knight's sword. But it is only in theory.

Suddenly, the piece was broken as the snow under their foot started trembling. Guts looked down and noticed a few faces being made onto the snow.

He sighed in annoyance as he pulled Dragon Slayer out from the holder. With a swipe of his sword, the sound barrier was broken. It made every snow in a 10-meter area be blown away.

Guts felt the force enter his body. It felt minuscule to what an apostle would give to him. But it was better than nothing, and besides, he had already killed at least 100 of these possessed snow.

"Guts. I think Casca needs warmth."

Puck looked at Casca. She was shivering from the cold as snow covered her. Guts looked at her and sighed as he took her to a river close to them. Once he arrived, he made a fire and then went to hunt for fish.

A few minutes later, Guts returned with 2 rabbits that he hunted. The necks of the 2 rabbits were twisted. Guts' senses are now so potent that he can hear everything in a 2-mile radius.

His single eye can see 10 times further. And clearer than a normal human. Not to mention how much stronger he is compared to a normal Human. Catching rabbits is nothing.

Guts went to the river to skin the rabbits, and then he cut open it's stomachs and cleaned them thoroughly. One he was finished he poked a stick into the rabbit.

Returning to the fire. Guts stabbed the stick into the ground, just above the fire. Casca looked at the rabbit, and his mouth started salivating. Puck sniffed the air.

"Guts. I did not know you knew how to cook!"

Guts smiled. Guts thought about Isidro. He did not mean to leave him back in Albion. He wanted to take him with him. But his mind was too clouded with anger.

The thought of killing Griffith clouded his mind. That is the only way to make this body satisfied enough to give control to him. Once he saved Casca from Albion, it already gave him more control.

Once he kills Griffith. There is no doubt in his mind that he will gain full access to his body. He can leave Casca and go his separate ways. Marry a girl he likes and have children.

"Hmm?... So you won't allow even that?"

Guts looked down at his remaining hand. It was clenched without him meaning to. It was pinching his right leg so hard that blood seeped out of it. Guts sighed in annoyance.

"Fine. I will not leave Casca. But you should know from my memories that I don't love her. If she regains her memories. I am not going to remain with her."

The hand trembled for a few seconds. It felt like it was considering something before it left the leg alone. Puck stared at Guts like he was a maniac. He was mumbling to himself while pinching his leg.

"Hey. Do you need to go to a therapist?"

Puck said as he floated down in front of Guts. Guts smiled as he swatted Puck to the side gently. The time passed, and 20 minutes later the food was ready.

It was plain. But Guts managed to 'buy' some salt from a merchant. He sprinkled some on to the meat before it started cooking. Casca immediately picked a whole rabbit up.

Guts took a leg off from his and gave it to Puck. Puck looked at the meat. It was golden brown, oozing with delicious oil. With no hesitation, he took it and started eating the leg.

Guts also dug into his food. His body needs a bunch of calories to remain as it is. However, the constant killing and absorbing strength from what he kills negates that.

He could probably survive without eating or drinking forever. When he absorbs the strength of what he kills. His hunger and thirst also go away like they never existed. That lasts for a day usually.

Guts suddenly sensed the snow around them turn into possessed monsters. The impact of two branded sacrifices travelling together is not low. More monsters than ever before swarmed Guts daily.

Guts sighed as he got up. He picked up Dragon Slayer. In a burst of speed, he vanished, and in a few seconds, he walked back to the fire. He sat down and finished his meal calmly.

After everyone finished eating, Guts put Casca to sleep. He also closed his eyes, instantly drifting to sleep. When he was asleep, a succubus tried to touch him.

Swoosh!

Guts' remaining hand took the knife next to him and stabbed the succubus in the eye. He was still sleeping, but his body was not sleeping at all. He needed to make sure everyone was okay.

3 hours later. Guts woke up with his body back at peak performance. His body now barely needs to sleep to regain energy. His natural Regeneration from absorbing so many monsters is strong.

Guts is kind of a superhuman now. His body's natural Regeneration is through the roof. Cuts and bruises heal in minutes. And unless he goes all out in a fight, his stamina regenerates faster than it depletes.

Dawn soon came up, and ghosts from the sky swooped down to attack Guts and Casca. Not letting that happen, he sliced everything in half, killing them.

'My body is starting to change from absorbing so much of these ghosts and demons...'

Guts looked down at his hand. It felt different like it was physical, but not at the same time.

"Whatever. Isidro is likely searching for me, and Farnese and Serpico are likely searching for me... Should I wait for them?"

Guts sat down and looked up at the sky. Guts decided to wait for them to find him. Isidro is definitely able to find him. He is a thief who wanders the world around him alone.

Farnese and Serpico are capable enough to find him. All he has to do is wait for them here, and they should be able to find him.

[ Half a day later.]

Guts looked up at the sky, Casca was eating a fish on a stick, and Puck was swinging sticks down like a sword. Suddenly, guts heard a sound about 2 miles away from him.

He turned towards the sound, and his vision zoomed in on the sound. There Isidro, Farnese and Serpico were running away from snow-possessed monsters.

"Damn it! What are these things made of? I swear on every single woman in the world that my master will make you pay!"

Isidro shouted as heran. Farnese and Serpico looked at his back with sweat sliding down there faces. They continued running until they suddenly heard a voice.

"Yo. Long time no see."
