The Newbie Is Too Strong's
37. This Time Heisel Failed to Meet Luca
Luca could clearly see and hear how the women in the room were tied up and chained and brutally tortured by their own fellow humans who had fallen into the nista of darkness where they were they also hired winged dark elementals as their assistants.
Faintly smelled a very pungent stench in Luca's nose. Luca was well acquainted with that smell. The familiar smell that he would get every time there was a monster invasion in the place where he used to live. The smell of a burned human corpse.
Luca could no longer hold back his anger watching how a human could cruelly hurt another human being with such a look of pleasure. But when Luca was about to save the women, it turned out that Luca could not touch them at all.
Luca's hands just passed through their shapes as if they were a hologram. Luca grimaced helplessly because of it and shouted as if he was holding his head in pain while curling up.
Luca tried his hardest to endure the pain of his trauma of witnessing such a scene once again. Luca momentarily forgot, but he finally came back to remember that this was how the world came from.
“Luca. Luca. Luca!” The screams from Kirana awakened the young man.
Know-how Luca has been into his sense of return. As it turns out, Luca has never moved anywhere. He had all this time remained on the deepest floor of that novice dungeon.
“Ah, Brother Kirana.”
“Luca, you're fine right? You were suddenly seen trying to grab something in an empty place and just curled up in pain. Hey, you're not seeing a ghost, are you? Here in the game, where there are ghosts or something, right?” Kirana asked anticipating while looking a little frightened by Luca's strange behavior.
“Ah, it's okay, Brother. By the way, what about the quest?” Luca tried to shift the subject.
“Because the hidden quest reward we have got, for now, let's get out of this dungeon first. Ah, definitely outside now it's been a scene, thanks to the global notification of this system.”
After hearing Kirana's words, Luca then took a look inside the system notification board.
...GLOBAL NOTICES...
...CONGRATULATIONS TO PARTY PLAYERS ‘LUCA’ AND 'MOMMYSUPERSTAR1'...
...WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED...
...HIDDEN QUEST...
...DEFEAT A LEVEL 40 ELEMENTAL GOLD WINGED IN A NOVICE DUNGEON...
“This?”
“Neither, I do not understand, Luca, about how this could be a global notice. What is clear thanks to this, surely when we come out, we will be the center of attention.”.
Kirana said, Luca fell down while holding his head, looking very painful.
“Hey, Luca, you're really okay right?” The worried Kirana immediately approached Luca again.
“Ah, I'm fine, Brother. I'm just a little tired. In that case, I'd better log out of the game.” immediately Luca also said then while pressing the log out button on his gaming system board.
Luca logged out and left Kirana in that place.
All spectators can also witness the agility of Luca's brilliant fighting style. And one of those spectators was none other than Heisel, Luca's uncle.
“Hey, that boy is assassin apprentice right? I can understand his agile movements since it is indeed an assassin-class mischief, but why can his battle prowess be that great? Isn't that assassin one of the 3 weakest classes?” Said one of the spectators who watched Luca and Mommysperstar1's fight aka Kirana against the Level 40 Winged Gold Elemental.
Hearing the audience say that the assassin was one of the 3 weakest classes, Heisel as the captain of the assassin guild, could not help but get upset.
“Hey, hey, even veteran players wouldn't be able to fight like that. Obviously the player named Luca is the only one who is great. Wasn't he the one who also obtained the first notification notification notification notification from the system after completing the hidden quest in the silver wolf quest? Not wrong again, this Luca Player will soon become an important player figure. I will not be surprised if next month, his name will be in the ranks of the 500 best players in the world.”
However, when Heisel heard the other audience's comments, his anger died down immediately, replaced by a sense of pride as the man who had been training Luca all this time, like a father figure who likes to see the development of his son's journey through it.
“I was curious about the boy. Let's see what the guy looks like when he comes out of the dungeon.”
“Yes, I'm just as curious. Come.”
Everyone became enthusiastic waiting for Luca to come out from within the rookie dungeon.
But as soon as the party came out and found only Kirana there, they were disappointed.
“Mbak, where did the newbie who was partying with Mbak?” go Asked one of the spectators outside to Kirana.
“Ah, he already logged out first as it looked rather exhausted.”
Hearing Kirana's reply, they once again sighed in disappointment at not being able to meet the young man who showed such special fighting skills among the many screens that featured novice parties in completing the novice dungeon.
One of those most disappointed was none other than Luca's own uncle, Heisel, who again failed to find his nephew. But at least, he finally felt relieved to have been able to see his nephew again even if only from behind the scenes. What is clear is that Luca is fine somewhere.
“If you can know Ma'am, how can Mbak get the hidden quest? Is it because of a player named Luca again? Because the player was also the first to succeed in obtaining a hidden quest in the game The Last Gardenia?”
Kirana replied, “Then I don't know. The young man named Luca did not seem to know it either. Is it possible because of the speed of time in completing our quest huh? I don't know.”
The ambiguous answer from Kirana then lowered the spirit of the audience. Kirana probably doesn't know it, but there had also been a party that completed this beginner dungeon quest with a time that was even faster than them by sending a level 51 dark mage veteran player as one of its party members, only the difference this time, it was Luca as a newbie who became the main force in the Luca-Kirana party.
“Yuk, we try to search the rabbit quest fanged yuk, in the village of beginners. Who knows we are also lucky to get hidden quests there.”
The audience who lost their enthusiasm left with disappointed breaths.
However, as soon as Kirana was also about to leave the place, Heisel intercepted her.
“Mbak, sorry, Ma'am who was doing a party with Luca? Can I ask Mbak to contact Luca so I can meet him soon?” Heisel told Kirana.
From now on, no one realized his existence, thanks to his high-level hiding skill. But ever since he spoke to Kirana, the skill had lost its effect and people started to feel its presence and see its face.
How everyone was shocked to see that the figure of the person turned out to be Heisel, a famous NPC figure from the game The Last Gardenia who is closely related to the main story of this game, the guild master of the assassin guild, who was also known as the assassin, Heisel Trakatov's.
