Path of the Berserker

I emerged into a spiritual space that felt just as big as the cavern that I had left.

The floor was made of polished crystal as were the roughly hewn walls that rose to a peak at the center far above, like a dome. I then realized that what I was seeing had to be the crystal from the inside. Bright yellow light washed over me, and in the Red-hued form of the Struggler, my spiritual body basked in it like warm sunshine.

Any taint I had gotten from the spider woman was now gone.

The presence that I sensed from the outside was here as well, but the giant space seemed empty. I stepped forward and called out into the air.

“Fhae I’ung, I am Max Chun, a follower of the [Frenzied Flame]. I have come to avenge you.”

At the mention of the technique, the air shimmered and right before me the figure of an enormous woman appeared. I recognized her immediately. She shared the same form as her fragmented self from within the crystal at Du Gok Bhong. Long golden hair, a naked body that glowed with the same hue as the crystal itself and an angelic face that could rival any earthly princess.

Her enormous body took up nearly the entire space within the crystal, but as soon as it fully formed, she collapsed to the floor in a heap, landing on her side. Instinctively, I rushed forward is if to try and catch her or something, but this woman was literally twenty stories tall.

I made better sense of the situation and took to the air with [Lightning Walk], bringing myself to the same height as her face. She looked in distress and as she opened her huge golden eyes, I could see the light fading within them.

“Oh, Frenzied Flame,” she said, her voice reverberating with the tones of millions. “You returned as promised. Bless thee.”
