Chapter 123: The Mad Mathison
BONUS Chapter brought to you by HippolyteBourel70, enjoy!
“The blood of Ackerman can give the bearer a superhuman physique and combat talent of the Ackerman clan. After awakening, he can gain the battle experience of previous generations of Ackerman fighters and become a natural warrior.”
Mathison has been studying the conditions for blood awakening since he obtained the blood of Ackerman.
It is known that the awakenings of Mikasa and Levi are related to the life-and-death crisis of their cherished ones, and the only existences that Mathison can call relatives are Gordon and Barbara.
It is almost impossible to run into a situation that can make the lives of these two people fall in danger.
And it’s impossible for Mathison to intentionally create an accident, right?
Mathison couldn’t do such a thing anyway.
If he can really be this ruthless, it is estimated that he will not experience any intense emotional fluctuations, and he will not be able to successfully cause the awakening.
As a result, Mathison changed his mind.
Since the conditions for awakening cannot be achieved from the event, can he replicate his mental state at the time of awakening?
When the person you value most is about to die in front of you, as long as they are not some sort of cold-blooded monster, a lot of negative emotions will overwhelm you, at a certain moment, for a certain period of time.
Such as hatred towards their cause of death, sadness for their loss…
When the negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, you may even feel hatred for the entire world.
Therefore, Mathison’s initial judgment is that the conditions for the awakening of the Ackerman clan are at least the need for strong mental stimulation, and still leaning toward negative emotions.
Wait, how come he is feeling that this condition is familiar…
Although the practicability of Red magic in battle is very low, and some of the high-level spells require the blood of a witch to be successfully released, Mathison can’t use it alone.
But it is magic that specializes in the study of human emotions, and it is more effective than combat magic in many ways.
Therefore, Mathison wondered whether he could use red magic to guide his emotions and help him achieve the final awakening through a large number of artificially created negative emotions.
This is a big project and must be carefully crafted.
It is also very possible that an accidental excessively negative emotion will make him depressed.
Fortunately, some time ago, Mathison finally completed debugging the situation to create a negative emotional state with anger as its core, thus awakening the full power of the Ackerman clan.
That emotional state’s name is: madness.
There is only one shortcoming, perhaps because of the shortcut he took. Once he exits the frenzied state, the awakening of Ackerman’s blood may fade.
To put it bluntly, the inner state of that kind of emotion doesn’t reflect Mathison’s sincere feelings at all. Of course, it is impossible to maintain the state of the awakening under normal circumstances.
That’s why Mathison has been reluctant to use this ability.
Because in an angry mood, it’s too difficult to maintain an… elegant appearance.
But having said that, ‘A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands’ is, indeed, the right ability for this state…
… Now he has no choice.
It’s unknown why this is the case, but Whiplash hates him greatly. He is constantly following him around.
Mathison must fight.
Using red magic requires a lot of preparation time ahead, and one has to build a magic circle. Now is too late to do this.
Anyway, no one around is watching, so let’s end this battle quickly.
“What the hell is going on with this person?”
Ivan may not understand the true meaning of the word “aura”, but he can feel the temperament of Phantom Kid in front of him has undergone a huge change in an instant.
Mathison reached into his pocket with his left hand, raised his right hand slightly, and snapped his fingers.
A playing card immediately appeared between his right index and middle finger.
His eyes contained a rage, yet Mathison’s reasoning still suppressed it.
His original gentlemanly smile looked hideous at this moment because of his angry emotional state.
Although the curvature of the corners of his mouth hasn’t changed, the feeling it gave people was different.
At this time, Mathison is like a bomb on a timer.
Ivan felt deep contempt from the smile of Phantom Kid, as if he was looking at a small bug.
It was as if he was just a line away from defeating him.
This greatly insulted his self-esteem.
Obviously, he was the one pushing Kid around.
“You don’t seem to understand the situation yet, Phantom Kid.”
Ivan ignored the strange feeling in his heart and grinned at Mathison.
“Batman and Iron Man haven’t come to rescue you until now. It seems that you are not welcomed among the heroes.”
“Although it’s a pity that no one will watch your funeral, you asked for it.”
Mathison’s heart was full of anger at this time, and Ivan’s mockery immediately found a catharsis for him.
A gleam of light flashed in Mathison’s eyes.
“A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands, activate!”
The playing cards in his hand were instantly transformed into D-class treasures, emitting a peculiar white light, and then shot out toward Ivan’s armor.
“Hahaha, is your brain flooded, Phantom Kid? Your playing cards won’t even do…”
Ivan’s mockery stopped abruptly.
Because he felt a sharp pain in his thigh.
The playing cards just broke open the three-layer armor of Whiplash, directly injuring Ivan’s body, and even directly penetrated the three-layer armor on the back of the thigh.
After penetrating Ivan’s thigh, the strength of the playing cards remains undiminished, flying in a straight line for tens of meters, and embedded in a wall on the opposite side.
“Sorry, it seems you are the protagonist of today’s funeral!”
Mathison’s left hand remained still in his trouser pocket, but four playing cards were clamped in his right hand.
With only a “swish” sound, the four playing cards were thrown at full speed towards Ivan.
Ivan, who understood the capability of the playing cards, dared not stand still, and immediately used the whip armor to dodge at full speed.
When Ivan dodged these four playing cards dangerously, he saw a scene that made his eyes widen.
Mathison’s right hand waved continuously like lightning, and the playing cards were thrown out like money from his hands.
In an instant, a deck of playing cards came at Ivan like a rain of bullets.
“Ugh!!”
In the nick of time, Ivan flew up into the sky in his armor, and the vital points of his body were not attacked.
It’s just that his legs had almost been pierced by the playing cards. They were filled with countless wounds.
The severe pain led Ivan, a big Russian man, to cry out loudly.
