Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!



He currently couldn't think straight, but he instinctively knew that if he took that fireball with his currently damaged body, his life would be at risk.

Lucius quickly rushed out like a raging beast.

Seeing the ferocious and bloody Lucius dashing towards her, Veronica's legs grew weak.

The fireball n her hand fizzled out as she dropped to the floor in fear but Lucius still didn't stop

His hands shot like a snake grasping around her neck and just as he was about to choke the life out of her Lucius heard a loud shout

"Stop right there!"

It was a chilling voice imbued with such authority it made everyone shiver, including Lucius. The overwhelming mana spread throughout the room as everyone froze in place.

"What kind of carnage is happening here? This is a classroom not an arena!"

The sudden voice was enough to snap Lucius out of his trance and back into his senses 

Mr. Hoffman was completely shocked to see that such a brutal fight had happened in his classroom and his mood was terrifying.

As for the culprits of the fight, he didn't even need to ask.

One lay within a bloodied trail of blood and a messed up face on the ground. Another hand bloodshot eyes and bloodstained fists wrapped around the neck of another student.

Although he wanted to get to the bottom of this,  he still knew what he had to do as a teacher.

What are you guys waiting around for? Someone go to the medic ward and get a healer as soon as possible! Get three healers as quickly as you can! Any healers present quickie come and give first aid!

…..

Several hours later Lucius was sitting in a chair now fully healed and recovered from his severe injuries.

Several hours later, Lucius was sitting in a chair now fully healed and recovered from his severe injuries.

He was currently standing beside a large set of wooden double doors as he thought about the crazy incidents from earlier that day.

In truth, Lucius didn't even know what really happened back there.

He initially intended to fight Xander but as he carried on things just got more bloodied and vicious. After receiving the electric shock from Xander, when he got back up Lucius had completely lost control of his body. If it wasn't for the shout from Mr. Hoffman, Lucius would have squeezed Veronica's throat if not simply killed her outright.

The strange state left Lucius powerful along his body to overdraft itself and go beyond its limits.

But it wasn't without consequences. His injuries were severe, rivalling that of Xander who had been on the reviewing end of a brutal beating.

And with the uncontrollable nature of this ability, Lucius wasn't too fond of it. In all honesty, with such bloodthirst and a lack of control, the losses seemed to outweigh the gains.

But what scared Lucius the most was that this state never appeared in the original novel and Lucius also had suspicions on the cause of this entire thing.

The Amulet of the High King

There was a secret about the amulet he had been hiding from Reina and even Camilla.

The Amulet was an inheritance passed down by the high king and for such a treasure it only increased a few stats.

Although it was quite decent for beginner equipment, for the High King of the Barbarian race, the strongest barbarian ruler and one who had reached the ceiling of this world, the abilities were too shabby.

And that was because the increased abilities were just a side effect anyway.

The true treasure of the [Amulet of the High King] was the gem in the centre of the amulet, or more correctly, what was contained inside of it.

That was because inside the amulet was a drop of source blood from the High King of Barbarians himself!

The true primrose of the amulet was a glorified container! 

The High King of the barbarians had reached the peak of the world, his blood was less like that of a humanoid creature but more like a magical beast.

For barbarians this blood would be enough to stimulate their potential and overtime slowly assist and refine their blood into a higher purity.

It seemed that although Lucius didn't have any Barbarin heritage, the blood of the High King was simply too strong, affecting him and polluting him with some sort of pseudo rage state!

'Hmm in the novel Landon had owned the unlocked amulet for a longer time than me, but yet there was no sign of a pseudo rage state affecting him?'

But as Lucius thought about it for a little while, he quickly realised why this was the case.

  Simply put, Landon's willpower was too fucking strong!

As a standard protagonist, Landon's willpower was off the charts, allowing him to break out of cursed mind control artefacts on nothing but sheer will power alone.

Although the Blood of the High King seemed to be like a treasure due to allowing him to enter the Pseudo rage state it was really not.

The truest description of the effect of the blood on Lucius's body would be that of corruption.

The blood of the high king was slowly influencing and changing Lucius's body.

Landon may have suffered the effects, but Landon's willpower was simply too strong to be corroded by the blood of the High King and his body had received the blessing of the goddess of light when he became the [Saint of Light]

No matter how powerful the Blood of the High King was, it could never compare to the full powers blessing of a god!

For those of Barbarian descent, this was definitely a blessing, but for others it could only be a source of worry 

As Lucius realised what was happening, he couldn't help but panic 

'Fuck!' Cursed Lucius 

'Doesn't that mean I have a piece of harmful radiation strapped straight to my chest??'

"Cough! Mr Lucius."

"Huh?"
