Chapter 387 - 275: Berserk
At first, Seth Walsh didn’t take Paige Summers’s struggles seriously.
He was a Gold Ability User. He believed that even if the chains broke, he could restrain her again at a moment’s notice.
But how often do things in this world ever go according to plan?
Paige Summers’s agony was intensifying.
A tremendous transformation was taking place inside her body.
The rejuvenation medicine was a product Professor Warren and a large team of researchers had spent many years developing. Many of its ingredients contained immense amounts of energy.
This energy was designed to alter the maturity of human cells to achieve the miraculous effect of restoring one’s youth. Its medicinal power was undeniably immense.
Even a Tenth Rank Superpower User like Silas Dudley would surely suffer after taking it, let alone Paige Summers, who was only an Eighth Rank.
An ordinary Eighth Rank Superpower User would have likely burst apart instantly!
Fortunately, Paige Summers’s body had been altered by the Jade Pendant Mark.
Although the Jade Pendant Mark had gone dormant after both earrings were fully unsealed, the sudden infusion of so much energy into Paige Summers’s body had a forceful effect on her cells. As a result, the Jade Pendant Mark was forcibly awakened...
It was only because the Jade Pendant Mark had reawakened that Paige Summers’s life was saved!
Otherwise, she truly would have died from the sheer agony!
After this incident, Paige Summers came to understand something.
Although her body could expel poisons, non-poisonous medicine could still affect her!
’One should never let their guard down just because they have an advantage.’
Of course, that was a realization for later.
At that moment, the awakening Jade Pendant Mark began to change the situation. It started absorbing more and more of the energy inside Paige Summers, regulating it, and then channeling it back into her body...
The medicine’s effects began to take hold more slowly.
In truth, "slow" was only relative to the initial violent rush. To an outside observer, it was all happening in an instant.
Inside Paige Summers, a change was taking place, little by little, starting at the cellular level.
Paige Summers was in excruciating, unbearable pain. Under such circumstances, how could she remain rational? She had not only lost her reason but was on the verge of complete madness!
She broke free from the chains binding her and began ramming into the walls!
What wall could possibly withstand her strength, especially in this berserk state? It didn’t even take two tries. The wall, door, and glass separating the two rooms were all demolished!
Only then did Seth Walsh realize something was wrong.
He paid no mind to the screaming, fleeing Professor Warren. He hastily pulled a long spear from his storage space, intending to use the same trick to bind Paige Summers again.
But he never imagined that the moment he brandished the spear, Paige Summers would grab it!
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were crimson, and her entire face and body were stained bright red with blood that had seeped from within. The moment she fixed her seemingly crazed eyes on him, even a man like Seth Walsh couldn’t help but shudder.
’She’s gone mad!’
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Paige Summers’s hand clamped down. The section of the spear she gripped instantly shattered into metal fragments that scattered everywhere!
Before Seth Walsh could react, Paige Summers charged. Her eyes were locked onto him. It seemed that even in this state, she instinctively knew he was her enemy!
She held nothing back, planting her hands on his shoulders and ripping downwards with savage force!
That kind of force...
Anyone else’s arms would have been torn clean off.
But Seth Walsh was no ordinary man. In that same instant, his Iron Spear thrust toward Paige Summers’s back, causing her to falter.
But he was a step too slow.
Just as Paige Summers twisted aside to avoid a fatal blow, the spear only piercing her shoulder, Seth Walsh’s arms suddenly went limp, all strength gone from them!
Blood gushed from the wound in Paige Summers’s shoulder, but she couldn’t even feel it. The transformation happening inside her was far more painful!
The force of the spear piercing her propelled her forward.
Her blood-red eyes glared fiercely at Seth Walsh. Instead of trying to stop the momentum, she used it to charge straight at him!
With his arms disabled, Seth Walsh could no longer use his superpower. He could only watch helplessly as Paige Summers crashed into his chest. He even heard the sound of his own sternum shattering...
The next moment, his back slammed into the wall, followed by a loud RUMBLE as it collapsed.
