《MHA: The Birth of a Vampire》Chapter 27: Berserker
Advertisement
'Unforgivable ... unforgivable ... no ... no ... how dare you ... you ... you ...' just one thought ran through Akira's mind suppressing all other feelings, covering up and making him forget about all possible consequences, no matter what happens then only one thing is important, nothing else matters.
Finally, in his vision, there was only a blood-red world in which instead of people there were only mere blinking red dots that awakened within him the desire to turn them off, destroy them, and this thought was manifested in just one word.
"KILL!!!"
No one expected what had happened at that time. The one who was surrounded by dozens of people, the one who should be scared was the first to attack.
When everyone reacted they saw that Akira was no longer in his initial position and that he had teleported to where his boss was and then he had kicked him sending him flying several meters.
Moments later something more incredible happened, with an impossible speed to follow Akira activated his quirk lengthening his nails making them comparable to a sharp razor, with which he pierced Sato's chest from one side to the other and in his hand he held the still-beating heart of Sato.
*Guhg*
Sato finally blinked reacting to what had happened and at the same time a cascade of blood gushed out of his mouth, looking down from him he could see Akira and his chest being pierced by his arm.
"H-how ... *bluagh* ... it's ... possible ..." Sato could only say those words before Akira squeezed his hand crushing his heart causing him to lose his strength and his life energy will end, dying without even being able to defend yourself.
Akira when seeing that he died withdrew his hand from the body and when he shook it cleaned the blood that covered his arm.
Himiko seeing how Akira had appeared by her side and had defeated the leader of the band in an instant and at the same time brutally and cruelly killed Sato, who a few moments ago had tried to corrupt her, she was moved and with tears of happiness in her eyes, called him.
"Aki ~ You're finally here, thanks for saving me" but when Akira didn't react, Himiko got worried and when she looked at him, she noticed that he no longer looked her at with warmth and the previous love that he always showed.
Now it had turned into a cold indifference that blinked to extreme insanity that was then replaced again by indifference as if inside him there was a fight to decide who would be in command, the cold indifference that kills everyone without discrimination or the extreme madness that once released would not stop until it had wiped out everyone.

Himiko when seeing the state of him remembered something that Akira had told years ago.
"His berserker state. If he loses control he can enter a state in which he will kill everything he sees. Aki ..." Looking towards Akira, she finally understood why he was like this, somehow Akira had entered that state which meant he hadn't only the gang members were in danger, but even she was.
In that state Akira would not recognize between friends or enemies, he would simply attack everyone equally.
Akira finally moved and as she expected Himiko, did not recognize her. With one arm he squeezed her neck and lifted her up, without resisting Himiko just looked Akira in the eye.
"No matter what happens, remember that I will always be your love Aki. I love you remember that, even if I die today and I cannot continue by your side, remember that I will always love you" Himiko extended her hand and caressed Akira's cheek.
Akira kept his grip strong, choking Himiko little by little, but when he felt the touch of her hand on his face, for a brief moment his hand faltered, his eyes flickered slightly as if a fight was brewing inside him at once that a tear was running down his cheeks.
Himiko seeing that Akira reacted to her words continued speaking.
"Fight Aki, you are stronger, you are my prince, the one who saved me so you can't lose"
The hand holding Himiko continued to tremble until he lost his strength and released her, dropping her to the floor. His eyes regained clarity but saw the struggle and the difficulty of staying aware, looking towards Himiko Akira spoke to her.
"Run ... hide, I don't know how long I can take ... Grha ..." gritting his teeth and with swollen veins, Akira was fighting against his berserker way to give Himiko enough time to hide and save himself from him.
"N-no, Aki I-"
* Argghhh !! *
"Go now! I can't resist anymore" Akira spoke between grunts as due to the pressure of his body the floor was fragmented.
Himiko wanted to refute his words, but upon being interrupted and seeing Akira's state she alone could keep quiet and after one last look at him, she started to run.
'Please take care of yourself darling, you must come back to me safely'
Himiko ran as fast as she could, but she was still somewhat paralyzed so she would not be able to escape before Akira lost control, so her only option was to hide from him and hope that Akira did not detect her.
Akira seeing that Himiko had withdrawn from him, opened his suitcase and took out all the smoke grenades and tear gas that he had bought which he threw throughout the facility causing them to explode covering the entire area with smoke and gas.

The members of the band were covered by the smoke and gas from the grenades, managing to block everyone's view, and their eyes were also irritated, which made it difficult to see, then they began to hear coughs and cries for help due to the fact that Inhaling the gas causes coughing, choking, and a rash.
Akira finally collapsed and his eyes lost their clarity thus entering a maddened state, vampires have always been recognized as beasts of darkness, deadly stealth assassins, and Akira who at this moment was only guided by his instinct to kill showed this.
He disappeared from his place, among the smoke and confusion you could only see a shadow that without producing any sound appeared behind a member that was still recovering from the gas, with teary eyes and cloudy with tears the poor guy only saw one stain before losing consciousness.
Without stopping, the shadow again disappeared into the smoke, leaving behind only a body with a clean cut in the jugular where the blood gushed out.
Kunoki finally managed to get up after having received the previous blow, when looking at the scene before him he wanted to think that he was hallucinating and it was just a bad dream, his subordinates were under the attack of that damn child and limb by limb were falling due to disorder they had since blindness and suffocation had broken their formations.
Without a leader to lead them they were like headless chickens, lost and waiting for their lives to be reaped by a maddened and bloody beast. Kunoki quickly screamed:
"KOKUSHI, QUICKLY ACTIVATE YOUR QUIRK YOU DAMN IDIOT!" upon hearing the scream of his boss, a member of the band stopped and as if a spotlight would illuminate use his quirk.
Opening his mouth and blowing a strong gale came out which swept away all the smoke, successfully dispersing the gas and finally freeing everyone from blindness.
Only 40 seconds had passed since the grenades exploded and Kokushi dispersed the smoke, but looking at the battlefield several bodies could be found lying on the ground.
When they saw this scene everyone was scared since counting the number there were around 35 corpses leaving only around 15 people alive, a marked contrast compared to their initial number.
Killing 35 people in a time of 40 seconds requires not only skill and speed but also a mindset in which lives have no value in order to commit such a massacre without hesitation.
Directing their gaze towards the person responsible for the deaths, they felt as if they were facing a demon that would reap their lives the next second.
Akira was breathing heavily, thus showing how fatigued he was after running at full speed across the battlefield using Shunpo and Red Vision to see through the smoke and thus kill as many people as possible.
His hands were still in a state of claws from which blood dripped showing that those were the weapons responsible for the previous massacre, except for these two details Akira was the same as when he arrived.
Although he felt infinite fear every time he looked towards Akira, Kunoki knew that if they didn't do something they would be killed. Regaining his momentum and acting like a brave and capable leader of his raised his voice as he activated his quirk to make his subordinates fight, even if they had to die for it.
""
Hearing the command of his boss all the members rushed towards Akira without caring about his well-being, the only important thing on his mind was to follow the orders of his leader.
Various attacks were launched towards Akira, among them there were lightning attacks, stone, wind and different types of projectiles.
Currently Akira was just a beast, one that he couldn't reason with and that he only wanted to kill. But it was this very thing that allowed him to make the next move.
*Gruuaaaaahhh*
Growling towards the sky Akira's body began to change.
His former attractive features deformed to become more animal, his fangs grew, his ears lengthened, the whites of his eyes turned black, the iris remained red but the pupil contracted in a vertical line like that of a predator.
The next change was his body. He grew in size, long and sharp nails grew from his hands, forming a claw capable of cutting steel like mud, but the most striking thing was the pair of wings that grew on his back, which flapped, lifting Akira's body off the ground allowing it to fly. (image here)
(The transformation will be similar to these two images, only it will not look so ugly, his facial features will not be so deformed.)
With a flutter Akira took off from his place and easily dodged all the attacks and once in the air above them all he accumulated as much blood as possible on his arm.
* Grruaaa
Launching another growl Akira raised his arm which grew in size and looked about to explode due to the blood it contained.
With another flutter, he swooped down toward the ground.
The members of the band could only watch helplessly as that monster slammed into them.
