I soared over the palace walls, past low mountain peaks, beneath a hazy sky, my mind reeling. The impact had been stronger than expected - while my HP remained intact, my head was ringing, leaving me in a daze.

Han Se-ah, who'd vanished earlier, returned with a stone dwarf slave who hadn't escaped with the rest. They stuffed something into what looked like a ramshackle cannon - ceremonial or prototype, I couldn't tell - and fired.

The problem wasn't Han Se-ah, but the stone dwarf. Either his timid nature prevented him from joining the escape plan, or he panicked at the sight of the massive monster. Instead of aiming for its body, he shot straight up at the vertically extended tentacle.

The acidic solution that hit the tentacle splashed towards me. As I tried to dodge, my posture faltered. Seizing the opportunity and realizing it couldn't kill me outright, the beast swung upwards like a baseball bat hitting a ball, sending me flying.

That's how I ended up soaring through the sky, falling beyond the city limits and vanishing into the darkness of the cliff.

'...An out-of-body experience? What the hell is this?'

Setting aside the spasmodic movements of the hologram window - which had previously morphed its contents and handed me the holy sword against the 40th floor boss monster - I could see Roland falling off the cliff with my own eyes.

So I'm having an out-of-body experience, like when I met the Goddess?

Getting hit by one tentacle, losing a bit of HP, and being knocked back over a cliff leads to an out-of-body experience? Unable to understand the situation, I floated aimlessly in midair when something strange occurred.

"Fu, fuuuuuuuuck――!!!"

Roland, after spewing that curse, plunged his arm into the cliff's edge. Not blue aura or pure white divine energy, but red mana surged and enveloped his body.

Even Han Se-ah's camera drone, which had been filming my body's flight, started spinning erratically, apparently surprised. It seemed the drone couldn't see me.

As the camera drone and my disembodied self watched, bizarre things started happening. The shield and warhammer that fell off the cliff vaporized into mana and were absorbed into Roland's body. Then the armor and helmet vanished one by one.

All that remained was Roland's body, wrapped in a red magical aura.

"...Wasn't Roland a paladin? Why's he suddenly turning into something like a berserker?"

-If the guy who who abandoned you returns just to deal friendly fire, and you don't get pissed, you're not a paladin but a f*cking Buddha lol

[Chat deleted by mod]

-But wasn't this shot by the stone dwarf? Looks like he might go beat up the dwarf instead of the boss

-Don't you know what skill this is? He's your party member, why don't you know sh*t, you dumb f*ck

-This is why they say an idiot full of energy is the scariest

[Teacher Please Check Mission donated 10,000 won!]

Teacher, it'd be troublesome if you do your double kill on Roland and the tentacle boss

[Stop That Sh*t Now donated 50,000 won!]

This doesn't make sense unless we got a secret mission to teamkill for 50,000 won

[Hidden Quest Appeared donated 10,000 won!]

Maybe the stone dwarf is actually evil and is trying to take out Roland

Viewers, excited by this unprecedented situation where the world's only natural 6★ character - an allied tank no less - gets sent flying far away by friendly fire, chattered noisily as they watched Roland's transformation.

From those swearing crudely and getting kicked out, to those spewing all sorts of conspiracy theories about the stone dwarf being the culprit - the viewers were heating up in various ways.

Meanwhile, Roland's now naked body, even his armor gone, started rapidly climbing the cliff. The red aura blooming from his fingertips dug into the rock face like sharp claws or a mountaineer's pickaxe, pulling up his muscular body.

Wanting a closer look, I awkwardly floated through the air and noticed his ascent gaining momentum.

'F*ck, he's fast. For real.'

I didn't know what exactly had happened or why my body was moving on its own against my will... but one thing was clear - it was using the body better than I ever could.

His speed made him seem less human and more like a flying squirrel, cliff-climbing leopard, or mountain goat. Judging by the red aura flaring up and his wild movements as he shouted, he seemed to be in some kind of berserk state. It was ridiculous how his movements were even more agile than mine.

Roland's body, no longer even cursing but making unintelligible growling sounds like a beast, climbed the cliff.

"Hey, that... What is that? Did he gain another star?"

-Don't try to change the subject to avoid getting cursed at, go save Roland...

-? Wasn't it 6 stars originally? Now it's 7, what the f*ck

-I thought this was some new bullsh*t, but counting, there are 7 stars lol

-By the way, where did the armor go and why is he in full mosaic? Did it melt in the acid?

-I get that the weapon fell off the cliff, but where the f*ck did the armor go? lol

Roland's body, which had been quickly climbing the deep cliff, suddenly started leaping vertically using arm strength, moving much faster than my spirit form could fly.

After climbing and jumping, he finally touched ground and dashed on all fours towards the palace, where thunderclouds still rumbled, crushing the earth beneath him. The view was obscured as Han Se-ah's stream window overlapped with the frantically moving hologram.

According to the hologram window and Han Se-ah's game system window, the thing rushing on all fours without armor like a beast wasn't Roland.

7☆ 'Frenzied' Orlando - that was the name of the raging beast.

Taking a certain amount of damage at once, getting momentarily stressed to the point of rage, having a cave collapse on you, falling off a cliff outside the game map.

While the exact conditions were unclear, one fact became apparent.

'BB Games, you crazy motherf*ckers.'

Roland wasn't just an overpowered character with two form change skills, but a completely broken one with three.

A regenerating tank using divine energy, a counter-damage tank using mana, and now a frenzied warrior dealer - they really had crammed it all into one character.

Gaaaaaaaaahhhhh―――!!

Aaaaaaaaaaahhh―――!!!

The tentacle monster's thought waves rang out like agonized screams, but an even louder roar shook not just eardrums, but skulls. The roar was so tremendous that even the Harpy Empress, who had been hurling lightning, descended for a moment to assess the situation.

The berserker-state Roland, no, the frenzied Orlando who had scaled the cliff and torn through the city to reach the Palace, leapt straight into the tentacle monster's body.

Unlike me, who couldn't expel mana outside my warhammer and armor, the berserk-state Orlando left trails of red aura like afterimages. With the sharp aura rising like beast claws combining with the aura enveloping his body, he almost looked like a werewolf made of red light.

A werewolf made of aura - how the hell was this a paladin skill...

"Holy sh*t, he's gone mad..."

-What good is size when you're getting f*cked like that? lol But is this really a tank?

-Judging by the skill's appearance, it looks like something Rebecca the kidnapper outdoor creampie play auntie should use

-Alright the f*ck did you do to get the usually composed teacher to have a dog-like fit like this? Hanna Hanna

-lol f*ck, don't tell me the tank's ultimate is going berserk when low on HP? Balance is f*cked lol

-So does this mean the 6★ princess knight noona will also rip her clothes and go ㅓㅜㅑ time when angry?

As I was thinking this, the tentacle monster started writhing more painfully. Following the camera to the beast's main body, one flailing tentacle passed right through my spirit form with a whoosh.

Now it couldn't even think of extending tentacles towards the Harpy Empress. No wonder, with Roland enveloped in red aura tearing apart its body and burrowing deeper inside.

It was like a carnivorous beetle devouring a large snail. The scene reminded me of a short documentary I once saw on a video site.

What good were hundreds of massive tentacles bigger than the palace? The crazed berserker was ripping apart the tentacles that crushed building debris, tearing open its belly, and ravaging its innards.

If it weren't a squishy tentacle monster but a beast-type or humanoid monster, Han Se-ah's stream might have been suspended.

Hands flailed wildly like an excited dog digging. As five streaks of red aura left afterimages in the air matching their trajectory, the stubborn body that had repelled lightning, javelins, arrows, and cannons crumbled like pudding.

The tentacles slammed the ground in agony, pulverizing the Palace ruins and gardens... but that wouldn't stop Orlando inside its belly. If anything, the creature's writhing seemed to irritate him, as he now started using his teeth to bite and dismember its body.

"What, what on earth is that? Podarge, Podarge?"

"Mother! Now's our chance! Let's kill that cursed monster right now!"

"Explain first, aren't those humans you brought?"

The Harpy Empress, her complexion deathly pale at the sight of the terrifying monster being dismembered alive without resistance, finally landed on the debris and questioned her daughter, who was with Han Se-ah.

Trying hard to ignore the monster's fading thought waves: Gah- Gya- Aaaaaaaaaaaah-
