The Newbie Is Too Strong's
132. Ultimate Protection from a Cleric
The four pairs of Ekila team members eyes then looked at the beautiful man as if they did not believe in his defeat.
As far as they were concerned, among their fellow team members alone who could be said to possess such incredible talent, Ekila was the best among the best.
No member of his team has ever defeated Ecila once in a duel, even though Ekila only fights using his karate without summoning the twin dragon.
And such a highly talented person had just lost to a young man in a row who they randomly met on the street. How they all can't shake that.
“Ecila? Did you really lose to that brat?” Goruth with a face full of sweat tried to confirm the truth.
“Senior can see for themselves the score of the match right? I lost.”
“But how can? Someone as great as you.. What devious tricks has that boy done to you?”
“Yes, Senior. No sneaky tricks at all. I'm only losing because Luca's ability is above mine. Senior of course already understood after fighting and losing to him as much as 20 times earlier.”
“Glup.”
Hearing the defeat of 20, Goruth could only swallow and could no longer comment. His condition was more miserable than Ecila so it was not worth ridiculing his junior.
“But Ecila, what is really going on inside? We couldn't watch the end of the game because the computer screen was suddenly blurry.” It was Silua who this time asked after Goruth lost his spirit again to ask.
“Nothing special. Luca's movement was too fast so I couldn't keep up with him and I lost.”
“Is that?” Silua still seemed half-believed in what Ekila said.
“Friends, stop. Let's talk about this later. The situation is not good here.”
It was Aghena who finally realized the members of the Lost Child Team who were still in shock that they had now become the center of attention of the audience around the lobby. They finally decided to leave the location.
But before leaving, Ecila said something to Luca.
“Oh yes, Luca. If your ability is that great, why is your name not listed as one of the participants in the race here?”
Luca simply tilted his eyes with sweat on his forehead, avoiding Ecila's curious gaze. It is the people who speak, precisely,
“I can more or less understand. It must be because this young man had no great teammates. To be able to penetrate in this prestigious event, we will need a team victory in our respective countries.”
“Yes, more or less so. Hahahahahaha.”
Luca simply answered ambiguously. He could not say that he had just come to this world after the qualifying round of the vrmmorpg e-sport competition began about him being an NPC who originally came from the in-game world. And the most basic thing that he is not a professional player but really a newbie.
“Yeah, then what can I do. Luca, I hope you can find your own team soon then we can fight officially in this prestigious event next year.”
Ekila announced his wish to Luca then immediately gave a brief greeting and then turned around to leave the location with his four other teammates.
But before Ecila was far away, Luca asked,
“Ecila, may I know what your real name is?”
Ekila who was about to leave was back to turn around while tilting his head in astonishment.
“Hmm? Ekila is my real name, Luca.”
“So that's not a name because you're a fan of the legend of Alice and the twin dragon huh? Is that also coincidentally the second name of your dragons Am and Xerad? The reason is that if reversed, his name becomes Ma and Darex, the names of the two twin dragons belonging to Alice. Your name is like that too, if turned into Alice. I thought at first it was just because you're a fan of Alice the legend.”
“Alices fans. Hahaahaha. What an interesting premise. Let's meet again sometime, Luca. At that time, let's chat more.”
With that said, Ecila left Luca.

“Hmm. Gae bolg is an Irish legend spear made from the bones of a sea monster named Curruid in which the spear can still use the ability of the monster to spread its sharp durinya around where there is also an absolute gap that will pursue its prey by ripping the skin of its prey until it is not left.”.
“What's the phone doing?”
“Not important. I'm just trying to figure out the legend of Gae Bolg.”
“Ah, Eros, next Miss opponent yes.” Seemed a gloomy expression that hinted at worry on Andra's face.
“Why are you expressing yourself like that? It should be me who panics because I will face such a dangerous opponent.”
Andra also looked at Lia with a sincere smile on her face, “Nona, whatever the outcome of the match, Miss has done her best so far even exceeding the expectations of the members of our management team. Miss can be quite proud of him. Ouch..”
Lia suddenly banged the book she was holding onto Andra's head which made Andra grimace with tears.
“What did you say? Of course, I will try to climb even higher. I will not be satisfied just up to the top 16.”
“Trilillililing.”
The sound of a chat message on Lia's smartphone then stopped their chat for a moment.
It's from Luca.
Lia suddenly smiled. Seeing that, Andra could immediately guess who the sender of the chat was.
[Lia, to beat Eros, you have to be able to beat him quickly before he can use his flagship Gae Bolg style. The key is not to let him move backwards away from you so he can activate his flagship attack. And if he finally manages to pull out that style, you must not avoid it, but must hold it with your strongest shield because.].
Seeing the chat from Luca, Lia was getting motivated.
“If until my boyfriend is this excited, where maybe I will be satisfied only to reach the last 16 because one step more the big eight participants will be determined soon.” Lia seemed to smile meaningfully while saying that sentence.
***
Then the next day arrived and the round of the last 16 individual matches began.
As a participant of the first match, there was Lia in the left corner and Eros in the right corner.
...\=\=\= ...
...Lia – Silver Hero – Indonesia – The Last Gardenia...
...vs...
...Eros – Goliath – Prussia Atlantic – Evernight...
...\=\=\= ...
As soon as the match started, Eros nimbly attacked by thrusting his spear towards Lia.
Lia brushed aside the spear attack well from the side of the spear while trying to reach Eros with her silat.
However, the range of the spear attack far enough to cause Eros to be in a position that is quite difficult to reach by his fist and it makes Lia quite difficult to go forward to attack while avoiding the stroke of the spear.
For some reason at that moment, Lia was only focusing on fighting against Eros through her fists reinforced by a layer of mana to a minimum and did not seem to have any intention of using her magic gun at all.
Lia just continued to focus on defeating Eros with her silat style by not allowing Eros at all to form a distance from her.
However, Eros who is agile can finally escape from Lia's care.
Eros smiled sinisterly and as expected, once forming a distance, he immediately activated his Gae Bolg skill.
“Skill: gae bolg!”
“Skill: eternal holy seven feathers protection.”
It was obvious why Lia had been trying to save her mana. That was because he kept it as a precaution when it was necessary to activate his ultimate protection skill.
