Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 385 : Disharmony

"And may I ask why you wish to discuss my patient?" Kevin asked as he leaned back in his chair. His question was a signal for Marlene to take a seat. But it was also an indication of whether or not Kevin would allow their conversation to continue.

"I'm a psychologist. In our circle, everyone has heard of the infamous patient who drove nine psychiatrists mad." Marlene replied.

Kevin chuckled and said, "And you want to be the tenth, huh?"

Marlene remained silent while Kevin laughed for a while. Once he was done, he pointed at the seat across him and said, "So, what do you want to know?"

"You were his tenth doctor. Can you tell me how you treated him?" Marlene asked once she was in the seat.

Kevin shook his head and said, "You're wrong about one thing."

"And that is?" Marlene asked.

"Damien was never ill," Kevin replied, making Marlene frown but she didn't say anything. Kevin continued, "Damien only had three problems that plagued him. One was his strong obsession."

"Obsession?" Marlene asked.

"Mhm." Kevin nodded and began to explain, "He would be the classic example of an obsessive lover. He wouldn't fall in love that easily, but once he'd fall, he would obsess over that person like a madman."

Marlene wrote something in her diary and then asked, "And the others..."

"Damien suffered from the simplest of Machiavellianism. More simply known as the 'Dark Triad Trait'. ASPD would be more dominant for Damien than NPD. Lack of empathy for someone else, complete disregard for others completely unrelated to him." Kevin explained the second condition of Damien.

"And how did he cope with it?" Marlene asked.

"His high level of intelligence came into play. He managed to do what no other person suffering from these conditions could do. He managed to not only suppress these feelings but also control them. I've never seen anyone be able to do that before." Kevin explained.

"Are you saying he suppressed the very nature of a human?" Marlene asked.

"Haha," Kevin chuckled and nodded as he replied, "Yes, you could say that. An oddball who resisted what it means to be a human."

"I see." Marlene once again wrote something in her book before she asked, "And the last condition?"

"The last condition..." Kevin paused. He remembered the consequences of the last condition and simply said, "Chaos."

He raised his eyes to look into Marlene's as he said, "He suffered from chaos."

"Chaos? Do you mean to say Sadism? BPD? STPD? Mania? One of these conditions?" Marlene asked.

Kevin simply shook his head. "None of these."

"None?" Marlene asked.

Kevin nodded as he replied, "If I have to be specific, then there can be no psychological term or condition to explain that symptom of his. He simply desired chaos. He liked it when others were in pain; when the world was in pain. Anyone he didn't know or he didn't care about, he wouldn't consider a second time before destroying that person, or multiple for that matter."

"And was he in control of that condition as well?" Marlene asked.

"Was he?" Kevin asked as if he wasn't even sure of it. "Well, all I can say is that if he was the perfect human by denying the very nature of a human, then he was a perfect animal as well, by denying the nature of an animal. An animal, when goes mad, considers nothing in his sight. Not a thing but if an animal can suppress that, if an animal can go mad but remain in full control then..."

Kevin didn't complete his sentence because Marlene did so for him, "Then one becomes unstoppable."

"Precisely. Now consider a person who is a perfect human and a perfect animal. What would be the term best you would use to describe such a person?" Kevin asked.

Marlene thought for a while, a good while, before she raised her head to look into Kevin's eyes and replied with one simple word...

"Chaos."

"Gah!!!"

Wei Jun let out an animalistic roar as Death energy emitted from him, even making the orc war of Wei Jun. Wei Jun looked at the orc chieftain, his eyes fully black and his veins trembling. Wei Jun stepped forward but in an instant, he was before the orc chieftain who didn't move from his spot but kept looking at Wei Jun.

Even with that power-up, Wei Jun was no match for the orc, it knew that very well, so it stood in its spot, ready to block Wei Jun's attack but Wei Jun stopped mid-way and moved to the side...

Clang!!!

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

A dagger appeared in Wei Jun's hand out of nowhere, enhanced by the black power emitting from Wei Jun.

The dagger smashed with the side of the axe, creating sparks due to their collision. The orc didn't feel anything but the axe did move away slightly. Still, it was too slight for the orc to worry about and he moved to attack Wei Jun as well. Wei Jun raised his arm to cover his head and blocked the punch from the orc.

[HP -98]

His HP was already going down with every second and then the massive damage from the orc was a bonus on top of that as well. Luckily, he had Yang Qi which was consumed by the green power in his heart to constantly replenish his health but Wei Jun knew that sooner or later that would run out as well.

Wei Jun calculated and even if the Orc didn't damage him which was impossible, he would only last for ten minutes in that berserk state given his HP And with the damage from the orc, that time lessened even further.

Wei Jun moved to the side and dodged the other attack while he once again struck the axe with his pointed dagger. Wei Jun swiftly stepped away before the orc swung its axe again.

Wei Jun ducked to avoid the attack and just as it was passing over his head, Wei Jun struck the axe with his dagger once again. The orc was confused about why Wei Jun would do that but Wei Jun, who was superior in combat, smirked as he saw his plan working.

The orc wasn't getting flustered over attacks like that but Wei Jun kept doing that. His health was going down and being restored at the same time and the power of Death coming out of him was becoming overbearing for him as time passed.

Wei Jun had guessed that this simple 'Berserk' skill which didn't have any side effects mentioned in the system other than the health drop would have another side effect as well.

But Wei Jun was confident he would be able to end the battle by then. With each passing hit, his attacks were becoming faster and sharper. His attacks were becoming more refined and precise, accurately striking the axe. Wei Jun was becoming used to his strength as time passed by.

With each minute passing by, Wei Jun was getting used to the Berserk state and after five minutes of the state, Wei Jun was finally able to do what he wanted to do.

Crack!!!

The axe shattered and the shockwave emitted from that pushed both of them away.

Wei Jun smirked as he looked at the orc, its expression astonished as to what had happened.

The orc looked at Wei Jun, a little astonished, but then, its expression returned to normal as it asked...

[Is that it?]

[Destroying my axe wouldn't help you at all]

Wei Jun smirked and moved in, attacking the orc. The orc moved to dodge and counterattack and Wei Jun swerved to the side, ducking down to slash the orc's thigh, leaving a deep cut on the orc chieftain.

The orc moved aside to dodge but it couldn't. It couldn't move as naturally as before.

Once again, with wide eyes, it looked at Wei Jun who smirked back and said, "I noticed it since earlier..."

Wei Jun moved to attack once again, stopping mid-sentence. The orc moved to dodge the attack once more but the orc couldn't move as well as before and Wei Jun used that opportunity to slash the same exact slash on the orc's thigh, deepening the wound even further.

"Argh!" The orc grunted in pain as it fell on one knee due to the pain and the restriction in movement.

Wei Jun stood at an arm's length away from the orc, just enough so he could react in time if the orc decided to attack him.

Wei Jun looked down at it, a little below his eye level as he said with a terrifying grin on his face, "You're one with your axe."

The orc didn't understand Wei Jun'd words because it didn't have a translator like Wei Jun but it could perfectly understand what was wrong with it.

Deciding it would be a losing battle, the thought to retreat briefly entered its mind but before it could even fully entertain such a thought, Wei Jun moved once again, faster and sharper than before, and before the orc could even react, Wei Jun slashed, aiming at its thigh once again.

The orc moved to protect its thigh only to be surprised when Wei Jun changed the trajectory and...

"AARRGGHH!!!"
