But witnessing humans killing each other was another matter entirely.
Previously, when those survivors ambushed Jesse and were wiped out by him, they were already terrified enough.
But that was at least in a situation where conflicts arose between the two sides.
But now... what was going on with Bruce and Jerald??
Why did Bruce want to kill Jerald??
Zara and her friends were completely puzzled!
In the center of the battlefield.
Jesse was locked in a fierce battle with Malachi, Ben, and Black Handsome.
After going berserk, not only did he lose most of his sense of pain, but all his attributes soared.
In a situation of one against three, he was only slightly at a disadvantage?
Seeing this scene.
Even Bruce couldn't help but admit, this was very protagonist-like!
A Black Iron High Rank, facing two Bronze Tier initial mutant beasts, plus a Black Iron High Rank close combat esper.
And he was only slightly at a disadvantage?
Whoosh! Thud!
Bruce didn't have time to think too much, seizing the opportunity to unleash a wind blade from behind Jesse!
Jesse, who was like a war god, finally couldn't face the long-range sneak attack from the fourth person behind him.
He was sent flying by Bruce's wind blade.
Thud!
He fell heavily to the ground.
The wind blade tore a long gash in his back, and soon his clothes were stained red with blood!
Seeing this, Ben seized the opportunity to pursue!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After catching up to Jesse, he launched three consecutive irregular attacks.
Hitting Jesse's chest and abdomen.
Black Handsome followed closely, its bloodthirsty jaws biting directly into Jesse's wrist that held the axe.
The mad dog's ferocious tearing made him feel unbearable pain.
"Ah...!"
Jesse let out a painful cry.It was evident!
His berserk skill had reached its limit.
Jesse had no choice but to continuously swing his right hand, attempting to shake off Black Handsome.
But Black Handsome was a mutant beast, once it bit onto something, it would hold on tightly.
So his swinging motion not only couldn't shake off Black Handsome, but exacerbated the wound on his wrist.
It was only because of Jesse's enhanced body and his current berserk state. Otherwise, his wrist would probably have been bitten off by now.
"Accept your fate!"
In the midst of Jesse's struggle, Bruce's voice suddenly rang out.
Then Jesse saw a longsword gleaming with silver light thrusting towards him from the front!
The speed was so fast!
Given his current state, he had no way to dodge it!
Thud!
Andúril sword pierced through his body.
While gripping Bruce's sword with his left hand, new injuries, internal injuries, and the aftermath of his berserk state all erupted at once.
Wow!
A large amount of blood spurted out!
The crimson liquid sprayed onto Bruce's Andúril sword, slowly sliding down the silver blade of the sword.
His reddened skin and eyes gradually returned to normal.
His berserk state was forcibly interrupted by Bruce??
"Huff, huff, didn't expect this kid to be so strong?"
Seeing Jesse's condition restored, devoid of any strength to fight, Malachi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he thought he was quite formidable.
But now these young people, one by one, were stronger than he had anticipated?
Bruce's strength could be understood, after all, since joining Bruce's team, he knew that Bruce had awakened an ability.
And he even obtained treasures from the so-called secret realms.
But this Jesse... was somewhat unexpected.
"Yeah, he's indeed quite strong!"
Thud!
Bruce smirked, pulling out the Andúril sword.Suddenly, Jesse's body convulsed, blood gushing out like a fountain.
The ability Jesse had just used could be considered a trump card!
But this trump card was purely defensive and self-destructive in nature.
Its duration wasn't very long, and the side effects were immense.
If you used this ability directly at the beginning of a fight, it might kill your opponent, but if your opponent didn't engage with you while you activated it?
By the time your trump card ended, and they came to find trouble with you, you'd be in trouble.
So when Jesse was in the secret realm, he didn't attempt to kill Bruce because he wasn't confident he could do so without this ability.
Now he had no choice but to use it, with no regard for the consequences, just to save his own life.
Unfortunately, Bruce had too much combat power on his side!
With it being four against one, plus Bruce's determination to kill, even Jesse's berserk state couldn't turn the tide.
"Is it finally... over?" Weak and powerless, Jesse had lost all resistance.
Even though the mutant dog was still biting his arm, he had no strength left to struggle.
Jesse looked up at the sky with despair written all over his face.
"Jesse, do you have any last words?"
"I didn't expect... to lose to you again..." Jesse gritted his teeth through the intense pain as he looked at Bruce.
Seeing Bruce's expressionless face and lack of response, Jesse's smile became fainter.
In his smile, there was despair, but no regret.
Because in a situation where he couldn't escape, he had already done everything he could.
He had tried his best... so he had no regrets!
"Are you also someone who has come back after reincarnation?"
"Reincarnation?"
Bruce was momentarily stunned, then smiled knowingly as he glanced at Malachi and gestured towards Duane and the others.
"Heh, Malachi, please go take care of those kids over there."
"Yes, Young Master Bruce!"
Upon hearing this, Malachi understood that he wasn't suitable to listen to the upcoming conversation.After a brief hesitation, without much thought, he moved his arms and walked towards Duane and the others.
Bruce's two war pets were both injured, Black Handsome's waist and abdomen were cut, blood flowing freely.
Ben's arm was also struck by an axe.
Under Bruce's signal, they also went to recover the bodies.
"Jesse, Jesse, I'm not surprised at all by your conclusion..."
Seeing Jesse in this state, Bruce wasn't in a hurry anymore.
"Could it be... you're not reborn?"
Upon hearing Bruce's words, Jesse was taken aback.
Because subconsciously, he had already regarded Bruce as the reincarnated one.
Otherwise, how would he explain Bruce seizing so many advantages?
However, Malachi's presence made him somewhat suspicious.
Now that Bruce said this, does it not prove that he is not reborn?
"You don't need to know about this. Anyway, you're about to die, knowing these things is meaningless."
Jesse: "......"
"Forget it, why bother telling you so much? Let's just end it like this!"
The villain dies from talking too much!
Especially when facing the protagonist.
So Bruce, who originally wanted to say something more, didn't dare to waste any more words. He directly plunged the Andúril sword in his hand into Jesse's heart.
Jesse had no more cards to play.
At the end of his rope, he couldn't even find a way to hide.
Puff!
The metal pierced flesh, causing Jesse to widen his eyes.
But at this moment, was there a hint of relief in his eyes??
For him, reincarnation was originally a very happy thing.
But the other party not only seized so many opportunities from him but also sought ways to put him to death?
What meaning does such reincarnation hold?
But now... he no longer needs to worry about becoming stronger or surviving.
Everything in this world no longer matters to him.
Is this what death feels like???
