NEETS
Chapter 45: Goodbye Friend

R and Gilgamesh become friends again and they begin to work together to face the next enemy, Jena and Jeni, two small children and an archer named Juna.

they are members of 5 warlords, because Gilgamesh has been considered a betrayal he became their enemy.

previously Gilgamesh had been hit by one of Juna's arrows.the arrow looks like an ordinary arrow so it is not too effective to. Gilgamesh's.

"are you okay, Gil?" much

"yes, I don't. This is nothing but a small wound" replied Gilgamesh.

before the fight began. R and Gilgamesh are given time to set the strategy, and they also recover

R asks Gilgamesh how the strength of the three of them is but he also does not know.but certainly the archer. has a long-range attack.even he can still see his target in thick fog though.

and for the two brothers he did not know their strength.

"well then Gil. I'll fight the archer, because I've had experience with them, and I've also prepared to face the archer" said R

"well then I take care of the two boys" replied Gilgamesh.

***

after setting up my skill tree, I immediately charged towards the archer named Juna. I set my skill tree to focus on speed. So I focused more on my warrior of light strength.

with a step of light I accelerated my movements again.But Juna looked like he already knew my movements.he started shooting his arrows.the first time he was shot.only one arrow was pointing at me. but after getting closer the arrows spread and multiply.

I was a little surprised but with reflex I instantly made a sword with the light solidified.

with both swords and with great difficulty I deflected.but my speed was still less fast.a few arrows still scratched me and made wounds on me.

after that, Juna moved further away from me and kept his distance from me.

I was still at a loss on how to increase the speed of fending off me. Because if I used the lacrima of fire, I could indeed use a shield and axe, but since the weapon was too heavy so my speed would decrease.

"don't think you can get close to me. My arrow won't let you touch me."

Juna also shot his arrows again, as at the beginning, the arrows were fired only one but after being close to me. the arrows turned into hundreds of pieces.

I continued to pry it with my sword but it was useless. The arrows were too many and there were still many who hit me.

suddenly a notification appeared in front of my eyes.The notification suggested me to use Shiva's ice lacrima.

if I think again.this sickle weapon is indeed very useful in addition to its high speed.it has an area attack that can make ice walls and hold arrows.

I immediately took out the ice from my inventory and put it on my sword.Its sword turned into a death-god scythe.

not long after hundreds of arrows came again I immediately swung my sickle and made a snowstorm to protect me.

after the arrows were deflected I quickly moved and charged straight towards Juna.

I'm right in front of him right now. Juna looked startled and tried to dodge, but it was in vain.my sickle could extend and reach him.but Juna could still avoid my attack.

even so my attack hit her body a little. The clothes that Juna was wearing were torn and my attack slightly injured her body.

but quickly a little girl appears behind Juna. The little boy is Jena. he quickly heals Juna's wounds with magic that looks like healing magic. after that, he disappeared again.

yeah, I think I've had a chance to fight back, but it turns out that the three of them's cooperation is pretty good.

after being hit by an attack, Juna began to get a little angry and began to get serious.he took out a strange-shaped arrow with a white tip that looks chewy like marshmellow.

he quickly shot the arrow at me. As usual the arrow turned into many. without hesitation I swung my scythe and hit one of the strange arrows.

the arrow exploded and released a sticky white liquid that was like gum. It hit me so much that I couldn't move.

I tried to escape from the white sticky liquid but it was very difficult.

not long after.dozens of arrows came again towards me. the arrows stuck around me.

"bib, baby, baby"

the arrows began to sound and not long after one by one they exploded and showered me with explosions.

even more terrible, this sticky liquid turns flammable and will burn immediately after being exposed to a little fire.

I was hit by an explosion.I was also on fire.I groaned in pain.but as if having my own mind lacrima ice instantly activated and saved me from burning.

lacima my fire suddenly came out of the inventory.he absorbed the fire around me. This cold hot fusion made a thick puff of black smoke.

after that the two lacrimas immediately approached my sword and went straight into the basin in the handle of my sword.

my sword can indeed use the power of 2 lacrima balls at once but I have not tried it at all.

instantly my sword turned into an arrow of fire and ice.

the explosive arrows from Juna were fired again, without thinking I immediately pulled my arrow rope and instantly the arrows from the ice formed and appeared.

just this time I used a ranged weapon in the game. mostly I prefer to use melee weapons such as swords, spears, and much more.

but with Jack's basic job power a Hunter it makes it easier to master this arrow.

I also pointed this arrow directly at dozens of arrows that pointed towards me, and all of them aimed at Juna.

my arrows released and shot.The arrow shot created an enormous ice and fire storm that instantly destroyed all the attacks and objects in front of him.

the big attack also made Juna panic and immediately hit him, to make him bounce and hit the tower wall.

after the big attack hit Juna, he was immediately sprawled and looked like fainting.

after that big strike both lacrima balls instantly slipped off my sword and made my sword return to its usual form.

I also approached Juna to make sure that I managed to attack him.

when I see Juna has been lying unconscious, but there is something strange here. It should be with such a big attack Juna will get a lot of Luka. but this time the wound seems lost.

and exactly.it was just as to the pure temple only. after I was close to Juna.he immediately threw an arrow at me and turned it into dozens of arrows.

the arrows hit me a few, and instantly I got a "high poison" notification to make me temporarily unable to move.

"great you can still survive after being hit by my poison arrows.usually they will die instantly if exposed to that many arrows" said Juna

I can't answer anything right now because my body can't move at all

***

meanwhile, Gilgamesh confronts the brothers Jena and Jeni from where Gilgamesh only attacks Jeni, while Jena is in a safe place away from Gilgamesh's attack. and a little petrified Juna the archer as he was wounded against R.

Gilgamesh uses his full strength to attack Jeni, but his attack cannot hit the little boy at all.

Jeni easily knows all of Gilgamesh's movements and attacks as if she can see what the future holds.

but not only did Jeni dodge it also had a terrible attack.she was able to bring out a dense white smoke creature that resembled a ghost flying from her mouth.

the creature had a mind of its own.The creature continued to chase after Gilgamesh, and when Gilgamesh hit him.

although the explosion was not too big, it still made Gilgamesh difficult.

because it has a mind of its own, the white creature can avoid Gilgamesh's attack and will blow itself up when Gilgamesh is off guard.

the longer the fight decreases the strength of Gilgamesh. The light becomes dimmer.Gilgamesh's movements slow down and his body begins to pant.

it could have been because of the wounds he had received, but if it was only a minor wound it would have been impossible for Gilgamesh to have gotten that way.

after receiving a few more attacks Gilgamesh began to collapse.he began to sit helplessly with his large body and light that began to dim.

Jeni approached Gilgamesh and patted Gilgamesh's shoulder, which was unable to move. Jeni shifted a little Gilgamesh armor.

from behind the Armor, the purple bruised body began to appear.The purple bruise spread from the marks of the arrows coming from Juna.

yes, it is bruised because the poison is very high levels.It is very lucky Gilgamesh can still survive and not immediately die instantly.

gasping. Gilgamesh tries to stand up and wants to attack Jeni again.

"don't push yourself like that big master.you won't be able to beat me because I can see what's going to happen a few seconds or even minutes ahead" Jeni said

"it's just my attack that no one can hit you." Gilgamesh said that while still trying to stand up but his body was completely unable to move.

likewise with R. it is seen that he was also exposed to the same poison as Gilgamesh even more, but he looks still trying to move and beat his opponent in front.

***

I saw from a distance that Gilgamesh was already sprawled unable to move, while my body was also stiff.The effect of this poison still takes a little time to disappear.

I'm immune to poison because of Jack's powers I borrowed, but if the poison levels are this high it still takes time to heal.

the little boy in front of Gilgamesh was already preparing to make his final attack and so was in front of me. Juna had also pointed his arrow right in front of me.

I had to use that power.the power of my high-level Ghoul.although actually this power will be used against King Hart.but because it was cornered so I was forced to use it.

I began to concentrate on using the power of this Ghoul.because there was no Lana. I did not want to use my power too much so that I could still control.

I started to use 5% of my ghoul power. A red aura like smoke started coming out of my body, and all my negative status instantly vanished.

seeing my aura Juna began to fear.he immediately shot me without a second thought.but I was able to catch the arrow with the blink of an eye and throw it back to Juna at high speed. at least enough to distract him.

after that I headed to Gilgamesh and immediately appeared right in front of Jeni the boy.

Jeni looked very surprised when she saw me. she started to give out a little strength.amu I quickly kicked the boy and he also clapped towards Juna.

after that quickly Jeni's sister Jena. directly approached the two of them with a speed that looks so fast. then immediately healed Juna and Jeni.

after that I instantly pulled the huge body of Gilgamesh away from the three of them to a safer place.

after that I sent Gilgamesh to one of the columns in the sky tower.

Gilgamesh was involved in pain.I opened the armor and at that moment I was shocked.All over Gilgamesh body was bruised to make his skin purple.

I can heal myself, but I can't heal anyone else if Lana is here.

I tried to use a drug called antidote in my inventory. I took it to Gilgamesh. But it didn't have any effect on Gilgamesh. the only way is to take the skill of one of the people here who has healing powers.

"don't worry, my friend, focus on the enemy in front of you" Gilgamesh said.

"alright then".I replied.

after that the poison dart quickly pierced my back. The poison effect instantly made my body a little numb.but slowly disappeared due to my anti-poison skill. afterwards I directly pulled out the arrow.

"how did you survive my dart poison? it's a high-grade poison."

"it's a secret." I replied.

I then let out my Ghoul power again by about 10%. red smoke enveloped me and the three men from the 5 warlords prepared with my attack.

there Jeni looks so scared, and so does Jena.

"sister, do you feel it? that person's power is terrible" Jena said

"i, yes I know that." replied Jeni

Juna who saw the two brothers was frightened looked panicked.

"hey, Jeni you can see the moves she's going to do next right?"

"well, I can't see anything, all I see is darkness" Jeni replied.

"yes, it's because your request can't follow me"

instantly I immediately appeared in front of Jeni. I was preparing to kick Jeni. but Juna held back my kick with her arrow that made her bounce.

after that a circular time field that locked me, Jeni, and Jena.

The time field was the power of Jena. she could create a time field with a distance of about 50 meters around her that would slow down the enemy.

Jena immediately saved Jeni, but the power of slowing down did not affect me. My strength is still too big and can still move quickly even in the field of time.

but my declining speed was successfully seen by Jeni so they both managed to avoid my attack.

after that suddenly thousands of arrows were pointed at me. it was Juna's attack. Very quickly I managed to dodge the attack and then appeared behind Juna. I then hit the nape of his neck.

when I hit Juna's back neck there was a sensation like an iron blocking.the iron was transparent so it was a bit not.it was too visible at a glance. but if you feel there is an object like a necklace on Juna's neck.

is it possible that these five warlords also fared the same as I used to be made a slave soldier.

after I hit Juna immediately bounced and hit the ground hard I went straight to him after that.

Juna looked very frightened to see me with a red aura that was still surrounding me. Sitting with his hands he kept trying to retreat from me. He threw a small pebble at me. first only a little but after approaching me the pebbles immediately increased a lot.

maybe it's Juna's magic double-fold magic, maybe if I could take off his shackles he could be my friend.

"to, please don't come any closer" Juna said

"hey calm down my friend will help you" I replied.

I remembered that the restraint necklace was weak against electrical magic, so I directly used my bare-handed martial arts which had the element of lightning.

I quickly darted towards Juna and grabbed the bracelet around his neck with my lightning power.

the necklace came off. However, what happened to Juna was terrible. First I thought he would wake up and might be my ally, but that's not what happened.

juna's body instantly aged. after the necklace was released from his body. his body increasingly wrinkled and thin.after that instant immediately died.after that he became a grain of dust and flew into the sky.

everyone was dumbfounded including myself. I felt guilty for doing. such a terrible thing to Juna.

"what did you do to Brother Juna?!!!" yell Jeni

Jeni looks angry at me. she immediately pulled out an explosive white creature from her mouth in a very large amount.

I easily dodged the attack and immediately stood behind Jena and Jeni.

I held both of them on my shoulders and said.

"do not do anything or you will die in vain like your friend. I actually do not intend to kill your friend.I just want to remove the shackles on his neck." I said.

"cuffs?" ask Jena and Jeni.

"yes, the transparent necklace on your neck" I replied.

"oh.you mean this."

Jena and Jeni held their necks and made the transparent necklace take out its shape, which is an iron necklace with a red stone right in the middle.

"it's not a shackle. It's a tool that's been carrying our lives all along. Yes indeed we have to be slaves of king Hart. but at least with this necklace.we become long-lived."

so the necklace they wore was different from the one I used to enslave by force.I feel sorry for both of them but I also need the strength of both of them to save Gilgamesh. so for that I had to do this.

"what happens if you help the enemy?" my many.

"we will die instantly" Jeni replied.

"well then, I'm forced to do this, and I'm sorry that I need your strength to help my friend."

I immediately pulled out the Glutoni skill from my back. The creature immediately swallowed Jena and Jeni quickly.

I was already very happy and relieved to have gained the strength of the two boys, after which I immediately headed to where Gilgamesh was.

I saw Gilgamesh still leaning and sitting on one of the supporting pillars of the Tower of Heaven. his head bowed down looked so limp and powerless.His burly body was shrunk into a flat man.

the armor that protected Gilgamesh began to fall from his body and his clothes began to fall.

I hurried to Gilgamesh.

it was also at that time that my hope of saving him was gone. The poison that came from Juna's arrow had already spread entirely in Gilgamesh's body.

gilgamesh's dried-up body is already full of purple bruises.In fact he is unconscious and no longer breathing.Health poinya has also reached zero. I didn't even have time to listen to his last request.

first I tried to cure him with the power I got from Jena. which is to rewind time.but it's useless.health points Gilgamesh remains zero. and his body remains a floating dust grain.

next I tried to swallow Gilgamesh with Glutoni at least I thought Gilgamesh's power could be passed on to me. because my skill also cannot eat creatures that have been turned into dust grains.

finally I just resigned while holding back the sadness of having failed to save my friend again.

"sorry I can't save you, man."

that's all I can say. With a heavy heart I have to keep going. At least there's still Lana I have to help and I save.

the exit of the tower was open and I went straight to it. I went straight out of the tower of Heaven and right in front of me was a crater of a volcano that was still active. right in front of me was Lana.

a sad look was seen from the look on his face.it seemed like he had also lost someone important to him during the battle just like me.

lana's body was drenched in blood, but not blood from her body, but from the person who was dying in front of her. that person was Jean. the leader of the 5 warlords.

did Lana do that?

and there's another one lacking. Where's Momo?

and when I look again. Lana also wore silver armor that had already been destroyed and started to become dust grains, as if the armor was a living being.

what is certain here is that a great battle between Lana and Jean has already taken place.
