The Newbie Is Too Strong's
230. Phineas Hunt
Far away lurking there, Phineas stood while holding his hands together behind his body while gazing from a distance at the Lalania Empire's palace area with an expression of hateful eyes.
Suddenly a young man came to approach her.
“Everything is ready, Mr. Phineas.”
“Oh, so you are apparently, the son of Duke Trashio. Nice work. Once that assistance from the Melodia Kingdom arrives, we will also prepare ourselves soon. Soon, the sturdy imperial palace will be left with nothing but rubble and the entire descendants of Sultan Lacoza will vanish from the face of this world.”
Phineas said without the slightest intention of hiding hatred from his every word.
“Oh, is that what you plan to do Necromancer Phineas? Or... Should I call you Kak?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Phineas was so shocked about how well he knew, the young man who had such a voice should still be busy with his competition.
“You, how did you get here?” Phineas asked in disbelief whether the figure of the young man he saw before him was really a person he knew or not.
But it's not wrong anymore. It's true that it's Luca.
“Since the last palace attack incident, I asked Aura to be more vigilant checking the environment around the palace. You know, Aura has now reached the level of over 400, her ability to sense which changes around the slightest become more sensitive. It is thanks to this that Aura can immediately notice your movements, Brother Phineas. Thanks to him, right after the competition, I have to get here.”
Unaware of the situation, the young Trashio underestimated Luca who was only alone and then he also had the men who came with him who were almost twenty in number to attack Luca simultaneously.
“Saturation.” In a word of command, the black-faced soldiers immediately advanced as they attacked Luca.
However, Luca only moved forward while avoiding the slashing direction of the professional assassins lightly while replying to the attack so quickly, even professional soldiers like them were completely unaware of the death that had picked them up until the very last moment of their death.
“Hiii.” Seeing the serenity of Luca's expression in his version of black hair that was like a death soldier who killed without looking shudder at all, the young Trashio was frightened to the point of letting out a strange moan.
“You... You! You think you'll survive after doing all this to me?!”
“Of course, since I'm a player. If I die in this world, I will only live again. Different you. If you die, your frame will only be eaten by those ravenous crows. How does it feel to imagine that death before your eyes, O Lord Criminals?”
Luca smiled as he said the sentence, but anyone who saw it would immediately know that what Luca said was not a joke.
“Hiii. Lord Phineas! Lord Phineas! Please save me from that murderous boy.”
Looking at the frightened expression of the young Trashio, Phineas only looked at him gently and then a moment later, his gaze was immediately fixed on Luca.
“The more days you change since living in the real world. Who taught you such cruel words, my innocent sister, Luca?”
“I don't want to hear that from people who intend to commit mass murder like you.”
Amidst Luca and Phineas' talk, it appears that young Trashio is attempting to contact help from the Melodia Kingdom, unfortunately only negative news awaits him there.
“It can't be for now. We are also under attack.. Akh!” Then the communication just got cut off.
“That's free Mr. Trash, my fellow players have also helped me to handle attacks elsewhere, in addition to my uncle Heisel handling the situation in the center of the Melodian Kingdom. Everything is over now.”
“Hiii.”
“Learnest. Without me noticing, you seem to have progressed this far, Luca. You are no longer an individualist boy who thinks only of yourself. Now you also understand how to think about strategy by trusting your colleagues to maximize mission success. I salute you. You are apparently an adult, my sister Luca.”
“Thank you for the flattery. Since my comrades elsewhere have fulfilled his promise, it is now my turn to fulfill my promise.
“Hiii. Where would I die in this place. You're the one who has to die, fucking midget boy!”
In a panic, the young Trashio pointed his knife at Luca to save himself. Unfortunately, it was a very clumsy attack in which it was seen that how much the young Trashio wasted his time all this time on training using weapons.
Without trying to avoid the knife that would not be possible to hit it, Luca just stepped forward as usual and stuck his silver wolf canine dagger right into the heart of the young Trashio.
After the young Trashio died, Luca's eyes were now on Phineas.
“This is your turn, Brother. It's a pity how much I want us to be a whole family. Unfortunately, I have to take your life here this time for the sake of continental peace.”
However, the unexpected suddenly happened.
Over ten zombies in an instant were awakened which circled around Luca as Phineas ran towards him.
Luca thought that Phineas would attack him, but instead of anger, it was the expression of worry that Luca could see on his face.
Luca was momentarily confused by what it all meant.
It doesn't take two seconds until everything is clear.
A figure quickly grabbed Luca at a speed that even his sensitive senses were unable to detect. Thankfully, Phineas' zombies blocked the attack so Luca could be saved for a moment.
\=\=\=
Name: Aeghter (Level 420)
Race: Orc type chimera
Age: 107 years
Gender: male
Status: exposed to pure dark energy
\=\=\=
“Akh!”
Luca.
“Luca!”
However, Phineas was able to reach him in time so that there was no fatal injury to the boy's body.
Luca also observed well the figure of the creature that attacked him. Apparently, it was the winged chimera monster he had fought earlier in the Doremi Kingdom Forest.
But it's strange, it's only been over a year in real-world time as Luca remembers when he last met him, that monster has increased its level fourfold, he said, especially with the appearance of a strange status on the demon monster.
Pure dark energy.
“Luca! Luca! You okay?!”
“Kak Phineas?! What is Brother doing? Why did you save me?! Didn't I just kill Brother? Or maybe, this is also one of the schemes from Brother huh to fool me? The monster was also apparently a colleague of Brother.”
“Quiet, Luca. Run from here. Anyway do not let you get an attack from the demon.”
“Why? This is not my real body. I'll only game over if I lose. That too, there is my true wanderer title that makes me unable to game over.”
“Demon is different, Luca. Once you get hurt and game over because of it, then your soul will forever be trapped in the darkness.”
“What?”
As if without giving them a chance they both chatted during the fight, at a speed that even Luca's keen sense of sight, Aeghter, the demon, couldn't catch, just in front of the two of them then prepare to scratch Luca.
However, it was Phineas who sacrificed himself in place of Luca in the attack.
Phineas's level surpassed the level allowed for normal humans. But even with such a level, it still lost far from the demon who was exposed to the pure dark energy so instantly in one hit, Phineas' HP instantly reached zero just like that.
“Sister Phineas!!!”
Shouted Luca to Phineas who had been in his dying state.
