Re: Legendary Berserker’s Advent - Chapter 203

—

Kieran wasn’t aware of Isadora’s internal thoughts after he left. How could he know her position wasn’t just one of great authority? It also bestowed a great deal of loneliness.

Not many people, whether it was those at the top of the food chain or those who possessed a comfortable status, would risk offending someone like Isadora.

As a result, many people kept her at arm’s length, never attempting to understand her on a deeper level.

This treatment cultivated a void within Isadora that she initially felt could only be filled by reaching new heights in her craft. But, alas, she found herself questioning her actions daily.

‘Even before that boy appeared, the joy of success diminished with each accomplishment I made. Is it because there’s no one I can share my delight with? At some point, the fulfillment concealed within accomplishing one’s goals vanishes.’

While lost in her thoughts, Isadora begrudgingly swirled her finger in the air above her lap. The liquid in her cauldron reacted to her actions, gaining a subtle revolving momentum.

The once agitated top layer smoothened as a result of Isadora’s actions. A few seconds later, the silvery flame beneath the cauldron dissipated while she released a crestfallen sigh.

There was no joy in creating this potion.

Even if she wished to be vulnerable to someone, she couldn’t risk being taken advantage of. The vulnerability of a woman’s heart could lead her to love blindly, ignoring all the destructive machinations around her.

…

While relishing the effects of Isadora’s potion, Kieran approached the edge of the Hero’s Sanctuary, where the Teleportation Hall was located. ‘I really can’t believe it. To think Isadora indifferently used a Rank VI potion on me. A Rank III potion would have sufficed. Perhaps….’

Kieran squinted as an abrasive thought serviced in his mind. ‘Is she perhaps trying to make me indebted to her so that I’m forced to complete her quest without a choice? If so, what a sly woman she is.’

Subconsciously, Scar’s words morphed Kieran’s impression of Isadora.

Even though she hadn’t done anything wrong thus far, and despite being the only reason his evolution into a True Berserker succeeded, Kieran was suspicious of her.

‘It wouldn’t be uncommon for a woman in power to become twisted. Although it’s sad, she’s at an inherent disadvantage due to societal views. I can only guess how much clawing she performed to rise above her unfair circumstances.’

After thinking about this, Kieran stopped in his tracks and turned toward Scar’s manor and then Isadora’s personal building.

‘Maybe I have a jaded view of her. I shouldn’t be so critical of her. After all, while difficult, she didn’t enforce a challenging time limit on the quest.’

Kieran eventually sighed and discarded any negative thoughts about Isadora. He felt he should at least give her the benefit of a clean slate and let her future actions dictate his impression of her.

A few moments later, he entered the Teleportation Hall and laid eyes upon the Gatekeeper of Teleportations standing in the darkness of the Teleportation Gate’s shadow.

“All that commotion during these past few days—it’s the result of Scar training you, isn’t it? You may show no change on the surface, but I can tell you benefited from your predecessor guiding you,” the Gatekeeper of Teleportations commented.

His profound gaze washed over Kieran, inspecting him closely. Even though his appearance looked no different from a blind person’s, the Gatekeeper of Telepartion’s eyes pierced beyond the mundane.

If they didn’t, wielding spatial energy so skillfully would become impossible. Because one first needed to understand the delicate tendrils of space before they could forcibly separate them.

“It’s as you said,” Kieran nodded.

Although his level didn’t experience any increase over these few days, his status screen underwent a tremendous change.

After fighting against Scar nonstop, pushing himself to the verge of collapse several times, Kieran’s Skill Menu experienced an incredible increase.

Due to the extremely low cooldown of his inferior skills and the better mastery scaling, Kieran’s C Rank Skills neared Lv.10. Although this transformation didn’t im
