The Newbie Is Too Strong's
52. Luca vs The King of Undead
A 30-meter-tall bone giant stood before Luca. However, Luca never trembled at that. However, something else worried his heart.
“Mama, mama, I'm scared! I want to go home.”
“Hiks, hiks, Mamaaaaaaaa!”
A total of 25 children aged around 9 to 10 years were also trapped with him in the field area separated by a solid barrier. They were only playing the game for the first time, but in their first experience, they had to watch the giant monster. Luca was unable to hold back his guilt as the cause of the monster's appearance without his intention.
The kids can't log out of the game about being held to a special quest command from the system before the monster is defeated. And they're just cleric class. It is common knowledge that most who take cleric classes are those who are afraid of direct combat. In other words, the children who are now with Luca are timid children.
Luca must quickly eliminate the monster before the children get more frightened. To Luca, the monster was nothing. At least, that was when he was in the master class. However, Luca fell back to the status of assassin apprentice.
Luca had faced a level 40 golden elemental before, but that did not mean that the king of undead level 30 was much weaker. Levelally, it might be the king of undead of smaller levels, but to Luca, the monster was a more dangerous opponent.
In addition to his strong defense coupled by the hardness of his body, the monster possessed an extremely dangerous ability. Banshee's curse.
From the memory of Luca when he was an NPC, the curse of the banshee will slowly drive the person he loves to mad with static mystical roars that will constantly be heard in the heads of those affected by the curse. The curse was slowly devouring the souls of those who had been mentally weak because they could not stand the roar of the banshee, then slowly but surely, they would die.
For the king of undead who is only level 30, the banshee curse itself will not affect the level of master 90 and above because it will be swallowed up by the grand aura of the master in question. But it is certainly different for the newbie, including the players who are forced to become newbies again.
As Luca knows, only one cleric has been able to cure the banshee curse so far, an old saint of the Lalania Empire, Saintess Monalisa. Unfortunately, already about 5 years ago, the existence of the saintess is unknown. From then on, there was no longer in this world that held the title of saint or in other words, had sufficient natural grace to exterminate the banshee curse.
Well, that's if the story is NPC.
But they were thirty at the moment, 25 children aged around 9 to 10 years old, Lia and two other child-supervisory companions, as well as another cleric who happened to be stuck with Luca and friends because they were near them when the quest appeared, and Luca himself was a player who even died in the quest, but he was still alive, just going gameover and immediately summoned back to the resurrection field respectively.
However, what Luca fears is the trauma that will be inflicted on the children. Luca does not want if the soul is still sacred until it is tarnished by trauma, especially if it is all the result of his mistake. On the side, no one knew yet what impact the banshee curse had on players.
With that guilty feeling, Luca came forward to attack the giant bone monster.
However, before Luca was about to advance, Lia intercepted him, “Let's defeat both the monster, Luca.”
Luca refused firmly.
“No, Lia. The monster is too dangerous. We do not know yet what can happen to the players if exposed to the banshee.” curse
“Curse banshee?” Lia could not help her astonishment once she found Luca's unusual gurgle about something.
“Lia's current job is to keep the kids behind.”
“But Luca..”.
Luca turned his head towards Lia, “Come, Lia. Let this once I show my manly side to my girlfriend.” Luca said with a soft smile on his face.
Seeing that, Lia was stunned. He could truly feel Luca's sincere feelings behind that remark. Lia also agreed.
On the contrary, Lia did not want to lose.
“Consideration! The other! Let's trust the assassin before us to defeat the monster. And let's run our role as a cleric to support him from behind!”
Lia's melodious but resolute voice, with the right rhetoric, reawakened the spirit and self-esteem of the adult clerics to join the fight from behind.
A child also shouted, “Friends, are not we here to find a game experience? There is an opponent in front of us waiting to be defeated. We are scared like babies. We're not babies anymore, so we can't be whiny. Come on guys, we'll help the cleric brothers, too. Isn't this the first experience we're looking forward to?!”
The courage of the children is also ignited.
Instantly buff of 29 cleric with led by Lia leads to Luca. Luca also felt the determination of the struggle of the clerics.
By combining zigzags and walking vertically through the bones of the monster, Luca climbs the monster to reach his head.
Vertical running Lv 5 --> Lv 6
Once at the top, Luca let out a sickle lightning slash skill towards the monster's skull.
“Slash, slash, slash.”
Luca momentarily floated while dancing beautifully in the air with his moon scythe in his hand before finally landing on the monster's shoulder. Just a few seconds after Luca landed, Luca jumped again, this time targeting the back of the monster's skull.
“Griiiiiiiish!”
Luca's lunar scythe is attached to the monster's spine as Luca moves down, harnessing the force of gravity to maximize the impact of the moon's scythe.
Sickle lightning strike Lv 10 max
The monster roared in pain and began to release the banshee curse embedded in each of his pearl necklaces.
Seeing that, Luca moved swiftly to prevent the fall of the curse to the clerics. Luca did not yet know what impact the curse would have on players.
“Pang, pang, pang.”
Luca threw each pearl grain containing the banshee curse back toward the monster with his moon scythe. Beyond Luca's expectations, it turns out that his moon crescent was also able to swallow the banshee curse as if it was food.
It can look something creepy like a melted person in the form of jet black who screams in pain sucked by the crescent moon that slowly melts and finally disappears as if electrified.
Crescent Moon Lv 30 - -> Lv 41
However, the monster attack was still not completed. Perhaps because it caught Luca's sword that looked so protective of the players behind it, then instead of attacking the agile Luca, the monster pointed his sword at the clerics.
Fortunately Luca has a shadowy step skill so that as fast as lightning Luca can dispel the attack before hitting the clerics.
With a burning fury after the monster had almost hit Lia, Luca's left eye was suddenly red while his right eye was blue, then in a single slash, luca's moon scythe not only split the two swords, but it also coincided with the 30-meter-high monster's body behind him.

However, before Luca could focus more on her gift, Lia hugged him tightly happily.
“Luca, thank goodness you're okay.”
Luca simply returned the hug by stroking Lia's hair gently.
