The Newbie Is Too Strong's
212. The Owner of the Shield
The situation instantly reversed once Eren entered his berserk mode. Brother Sabrina and Diana have been game over for a long time, Senior Areka and Brother Yuda are seriously injured, while I can't do anything to approach the seeds of the rampaging world tree.
As I tried to analyze the situation, threads coming out from the seed of the world tree tried to attack me. I also fell from where I hung.
But this is bad. I don't have enough time to dodge both attacks.
But at that time, Brother Yuda immediately rose up and dispelled the attack of the seed of the world tree and immediately threw me away from that place.
At another place where I seem to be landing after being thrown by Kak Yuda, Senior Areka has been waiting for me with her shield.
Senior Areka immediately blocked the attack of the world tree seed that was about to hit us.
However, looking back at that place, Kak Yuda's sword had been broken and the attack of the world's tree seed had sent him back to the real world.
“Don't give up, Luca! We just have to wait until the berserk mode is over. No player has a long time limit in berserk mode with that much power!”
Senior Areka shouted at me while dispelling the attack of the world tree seed as powerful as her strength.
“Trararararang!”
There was the sound of a very loud metal scratch where fresh blood seemed to flow at the end of Senior Areka's mouth. However, Senior Areka persisted with his shield.
I see a miracle.
My reality essence button that should not be listed among the five items I entered at this match because I myself never found the list of names of the items in the inventory, suddenly shone brightly. His beam was constantly assimilated into Senior Areka's shield.
It appears that each cracked part of the shield is immediately repaired automatically by a light stream of reality essence buttons.
But this isn't enough.
The world tree seed attack looked as though it was not yet about to end with an attack speed that far exceeded the recovery power of reality essence buttons.
That's when I decided too. Actually, I will make this as my joker card in professional level matches later, so until now, I always hide this from others.
But rather than us losing this round and it all ended in vain, I had to open it. No. gabe. No need to show everything.
“Aura's chat. You hear me?”
“Iya, Master.”
“Please channel your light shield strength to me without you needing to come here.”
“Good, Master.”
Thus, our defense was strengthened by the shield that came out through my ring until our defense increased many times over. Seen this time, there were no more cracks to worry about on Senior Areka's shield.
‘In this way, we can survive on the attack of world tree seeds.’ I murmured in my heart.
That is how I and Senior Areka finally managed to survive until the berserk attack of the world's tree seed was completely over.
After his berserk mode ended, it appeared that Eren no longer had the power to move. I also took advantage of the opportunity to counter attack the enemy.
“Majulah, Luca. I leave it to you.”
“Good, Senior.”
I made that promise as well, leaving Senior Areka behind who had also lost her power to make a move.
I ran and ran until I finally arrived near the enemy.
“No, no! Gajel!”
Until the end, the opponent's shield showed the loyal attitude of his friend by hugging Gajel tightly all his feelings to protect his partner even though he himself was in a state that was already very helpless.
Eren replaced Gajel with my dagger.
Apparently afterwards, Gajel tried desperately to attack with his remaining mana. Of course, his attack was no longer meaningful to me. An attack that is intensified in a state of panic with which conditions are almost exhausted. In fact, even beginner assassins, which might be able to be exposed to attacks that are intensified in such conditions.
“Srak.”
I ended the life of Gajel's avatar by stabbing him in the heart.
Victory for Pelita Harapan High School. Finally, we managed to get through to the semi-finals of the match.
Meanwhile on the other hand, the victory of the other team has also been determined. It is certain that our next opponent in the semifinal round is the Rooster Senior High School Team, the first representative from Sulawesi Island who managed to defeat the Cahaya Persada High School Team, the fourth representative of the island of Papua in the round of 16 who had defeated the Viandra team in the first round.
After that, individual tournaments for the fighter and mage classes were held. The fighter class is represented by Kak Raia, while the mage class is represented by Kak Yudishar.
Unfortunately, none of them managed to donate champions to the team.
As for the match Kak Yudishar is also almost the same, namely fighting the impact of the attack by attacking a target impact meter. Even worse than Brother Raia, Brother Yudishar occupies the twentieth position.
However, it is not that we do not anticipate this about vrmmorpg e-sport training for the two easternmost islands is indeed prioritized for three main classes, swordsman, fighter, and mage. It is only natural that they excel in the class that they master. It's just that I was hoping that there would be a bit of a miracle after the desperate efforts of Raia and Yudishar's sister training.

***
That night, we again had a meeting for tomorrow's semi-final match.
“Ah, Senior Areka. Brother all right?”
I saw Senior Areka suddenly almost fall down so I quickly reached her.
“It's okay, Luca. I'm just a little sleepy.”
I actually wanted to once again ask her if her condition was really okay. However, Lia had already opened her meeting. After all, no matter when our club has really been controlled by Lia as if our coach has really faded.
Well, of course I don't hate any of that. Thanks to Lia, we were able to easily obtain the data of the opponents, not only during the matches, but also the previous matches.
Lia presents us with a statistical comparison of our ability against opponents, revealing weaknesses, and optimally exploiting our strengths in the face of opponents.
Not to be mistaken, Lia was an accomplished strategist. Precisely what exists, I envy the expertise of Lia who is able to devise such a strategy. If I were also able to think like that, focusing not only on myself, but also on my teammates and opponents, I could definitely become a more reliable fighter. From this I realized more and more that how egocentric I was.
In fact, I am afraid that what will happen when I and Lia will be met in the official competition next year, when the White Star Club must face the Silver Hero Club in the top game.
But let's ignore that distant future. I, no, I mean we need to focus on the present.
“The Rooster Senior High School Team is a team that focuses more on physical abilities compared to utilizing tricks. However, they are able to coordinate well between one player with another player. All this time, they have only always relied on their core team combinations to compete, so let's think that in the semifinals tomorrow, they will likely do the same
“A swordsman, fighter, shielder, mage, and cleric. His team's makeup was completely standard, but that was precisely what made them dangerous. They can always win the champions of these two competitions even with the standard team arrangement. Based on the investigation, this is based on their good teamwork in addition to the movement of each individual completely efficient without the slightest gap.”
That's how Lia said while showing us some matches of the Rooster High School Team, starting from their record of matches in this year's tournament, including their previous match records.
One thing I can say. They're really strong. I was confident of being able to defeat them all by myself if using my real body, but I was not sure about my avatar body which was still at level 48, whether it could do the same.
“For the line-up of players based on the considerations that are most suitable for tomorrow's match, they are Luca, Egi, Senior Areka, Senior Yuda, and let's not wear the cleric again this time which is replaced by an alchemist, Chica. Chika, can you play a healer?”
“Siap, Lia. Leave the health problems of teammates to my potion.”
“Wait a minute, Dek Lia.”
Brother Yurika makes a sound. When I thought he would voice his protest because he was not chosen to play, what he did was ask Lia for consideration of his partner's health condition.
“Don't you think we're over-forsing Areka's stamina? He has played in all the matches for 3 days in a row. Plus tomorrow he also has to follow the individual match.”
Brother Yurika's words immediately opened my eyes. True he said, Senior Areka's condition is now not okay.
