Chapter 328

[Shout out to (no name), Cherif Doghri, Abdishakur Hasan, Danny York]

Lucky 328

The two of them had a fierce stare down, and neither of them backed away. It showed that they were both confident in their abilities.

"So are you one of these thieves or something?"

Calix studied the man in his mid-forties.

"Wait, why do I feel like I know you..."

He had indeed met Berto in the bar. But he didn't remember the bartender very well, because the place was quite dim.

"Your voice sounds familiar too."

Uncle and nephew had met before and they had an idea of each other's identity.

"What about you? Are you one of them?"

"No."

"Lie all you want."

Berto stopped talking. He knew that this person was part of the Council of Torment, and he was probably one of the higher-ups.

'His battle suit is the latest version of the C-Series and it's a rare piece of armor. The fact that he is wearing something extravagant like a C-Series means that he has a high position in the Council of Torment,' Berto thought.

Absolutely wrong. But in this situation, it was the most likely explanation. After all, Berto did not know that another person had accidentally entered the Ancient Library. That was the case for Calix.

"Hell Term Attri..."

He tried to attack Calix and the young man immediately ran away when he sensed that Berto was about to cast a spell.

'What? He has a kitten on his back!?'

Berto stopped his incantation when he noticed that a small cat was sleeping on the man's back. It looked adorable and cute. Even a heartless man like Berto could never bring himself to attack an innocent kitten!

'This man is definitely strong. I need to keep my distance from him.'

Calix had strong senses and he knew that there were things even Luck could never face. Berto's presence screamed 'dangerous'.

But unbeknownst to him, Calix actually saved himself by showing his back. He was unwittingly using Mera as a meat shield!

"Tch! This man is evil! He used an innocent kitten as a hostage!"

Berto clicked his tongue. He could never forgive someone like Calix. He realized that Calix might be the worst person he would ever meet in this Backrooms.

The screams of the people gradually faded. The creatures of the Backrooms became quiet again.

"What is this place..."

Calix frowned as he walked on. He realized that he was seeing sick monsters. He had seen many types of aberrant, but the creatures in the Backrooms were new to him. He had never seen anything like them, this was the first time.

He moved carefully to make sure he didn't stumble on any of them.

There were ripped bodies around, and there were eaten bodies as well. They were the followers who were unfortunately caught in Berto's Term Attribute.

"They are not attacking me."

As he moved, Calix realized that the monsters were not following him. They didn't even look at him, as if he was nothing but air.

He realized that each one of these creatures was enough to give him a hard time, but they did not attack him.

'Maybe my luck saved me again.'

That was the only explanation he could come up with. The whole situation was so bizarre.

'Where am I...'

He thought he was still in a library, but only a crazy person would believe that.

"What is this place?"

"This is the Backrooms."

Calix immediately turned around and pointed his gun at Berto, who appeared.

Berto had a solemn face as he explained more.

"This is an old mythical place. People believe that cursed creatures live here. It's an endless maze, and there's no way out, only suffering. Few people know that this place exists, and I'm the only one who can summon it."

When Berto was young, he suffered from nightmarish dreams that cost him his youth. But he was grateful that the writings of the Church of Love saved him. But now it was just a memory, and he didn't have any reverence for the Church, not anymore.

He was just a simple father who ran a bar to make a living. Berto Alb.

"And why are you explaining this to me?"

"Simply because you will die here."

"Cap."

Calix didn't hesitate and started shooting at him. The bullets were faster and more explosive, but Berto didn't flinch.

Instead, the bullets pulverized as usual. There were millions of 3rd Advance all over the planet, but Berto was one of the most dangerous. He could even fight a Demigod with chances of winning. His Term Attributes were so overpowered that even his own countrymen were afraid of him.

It was a good thing that he was not known, otherwise, the other countries would try to recruit him.

"What?"

Calix was shocked. To see his bullets disappear was beyond his expectations.

But he regained his composure immediately. He didn't stop. Instead, his gun transformed into something more powerful. Mento's robotic voice sounded and the pistol became a submachine gun.

Hundreds of bullets flew by in a second.

"You are wasting your time. None of this will work on me."

He muttered. The big bullets turned to ash again.

"I can see that the monsters in the Backrooms are not attacking you. Maybe you have a way to survive them. But that doesn't mean you can escape this place. Only I have the ability to do that. My will is the will of Backrooms."

"Shut up, old man. You're not my Uncle!"

Calix gritted his teeth.

"Looks like I have to teach you a lesson."

Berto knew that this person was immune to Backrooms. So he had to use his last ability, his 3rd term attribute.

"This is actually an ability I can't control. The miracles and disasters are not in my hands. They are random, but one thing is certain. It always favors me."

Then he used it.

"Wonder of Ohio!"

A shockwave shot out.

The [Wonder of Ohio Term Attribute] was an ability that summoned the events in Ohio. It was a terrifying ability that no one could stop.

Their place was struck by lightning from nowhere. The Backrooms was affected by Ohio's wonder, and everything was shaking like an illusion.

A few seconds passed and everything returned to normal.

Only Berto Alb remains standing.
