Chapter 11: Brolu has become the player!
"I will pay for plenty in the future. I promise." Brolu promised before his knight rush. As the loyalty rune should be known by the merchant, he didn't hide his status as a noble knight.
However, Brolu clearly meant the future, so he was unable to pay a hefty amount of money right now!
Nonetheless, Tetsuya was interested in his strength and setting that outshined the loyalty rune. That was why he didn't say anything and just followed the knight with his slower strut. Once the young knight smashed his sword against the enraged beast, his body instinctively used the 'Q' skill which was his usual sword strike.
But he did it as the player, so Brolu's strength was far stronger as he followed the game rune's abilities. He then shouted 'Ventera Loyalty' which was his 'W' skill! This skill took his loyalty rune to another level! It allowed Brolu to gather more of his loyal strength which surprised even the knight himself.
This was the buff skill that lasted six seconds!
During this buff, Brolu was stronger and more sturdy! "I can do it! You are no longer the threatttt!" He then started the strength contest with the bandit boss. Both the big hand and sword connected in a battle of attrition that lasted until Tetsuya came closer.
Once the ego sovereign brought himself closer to Roman, he raised his clenched hand high. A sound of a powerful whistle rang out from the side, then Roman yet again got forced to throw his head backward. "Ahhh! Ahhh!" His roars seemed as if he wanted to say something, but both his opponents felt like it would be just mere curses.
Instead of trying to decode his screams, Brolu and Tetsuya worked together to take him down! "You are clever." Tetsuya suddenly spoke. He saw Brolu's rush which was also used in collaboration with the loyalty rune. That would be 'E' skill. "This game rune feels like your rune already." The young knight was adapting well to the new skills. Even though these were based on his runes and abilities, one would need some time to adapt as those skills required one to have perfect position and utilization.
But Brolu was doing all fine and so he smiled. "Yes, I have been looking for many sources of power, so this is heaven-sent power! I will do my best to seize it!" He then used his 'E' skill for the second time! It had less cooldown than W so it was fine.
Since it was not the MOBA Board and Brolu couldn't hit the levels by fighting minions or any other people, his 'R' ability, the ultimate one, could be used only after he scored a few weak points on his enemy.
All his 'Q' slashes were meant to achieve this ultimate ability! Tetsuya's punches were also a great support as it felt like these punches had a 'stun' effect as well! Using the acquired time from these punches, Brolu located the weak spots and kept reaching out for the ultimate skill!
"I can feel it! This power!" Just one weak point behind, Brolu began to already feel the surging power from his sword. His sword was decorated with small golden wisps that were desperately leaving his shaft.
This sword was his ultimate power, Ventera's Sword Beam! Tetsuya's game rune awakened this power out of its slumber! This sword was also the reason why the game masters couldn't find the young knight before!
It was a sword with high stats and passive effects, simply a treasure!
"VENTERA SWORD BEAMMMM!" Once Brolu slashed through the last weak point, the bandit boss's HP fell to 30%. Then, his sword completely got devoured by the golden light that shone brightly like the unreachable sun!
This sword stupefied the bandit boss whose red eyes narrowed from all this glowing! His arms instinctively went up to protect himself from the impending slash!
The sword's beam surprised even Tetsuya himself. It flashed with a blinding light, then tore through the air and ground like nothing! Its speed was also high, so it would be truly hard to dodge it with all the light! Once it tore through everything, it landed on the bandit boss's arms. At this moment, the boss felt like he was being torn by godly punishing powers! His skin already disappeared and flesh began to get minced. A blood streak disappeared in the golden light as if nothing and then, the light reached his chest!
"AHHHHHH!" It cut him so deeply that the bandit boss will be able to boast about his scar in the future! This wound looked so severe with black blood splashed around Tetsuya took his eyes away.
"You did it." He focused on the young knight who was so exhausted his knees already dug a little into the ground.
"I did it…" Brolu answered with huge fatigue taking over his body. He found it hard to talk and even hold his treasure. A moment later, the young knight closed his eyes and fell asleep, leaving Tetsuya and the bandit boss alone.
Of course, the battle already notified the other bandits, but Tetsuya wasn't worried about these. Instead, he thought about the future and his own power a bit differently. His thoughts caused Ashley to sway within his mind happily.
After all, Tetsuya began to take a liking… into the secrets of this world, "It was an exciting battle." He then turned his eyes to the first bandit that was sneaking behind the trees.
"It was, right? The world holds many more interesting runes! Remember, not every rune is used for battle!" Ashley reminded her partner, then looked at the sneaking bandit that was looking like a weirdo with his trembling body.
Her ears then recorded Tetsuya's question. "Contact my bandits. Just give them a quest to come here and beat the shit out of these people." He didn't ask whether she could do it from afar, but believed in her!
Ashley felt like Tetsuya would have a hard time if she said 'I can't' or just was unable to do so. However, each battle was progress and the new player's victory gave her some points to her stats as well!
Thus, Ashley was able to contact the bandits without much problem, her quest ringing in their minds. "Done." She spoke with a proud expression!
"Well done." And her partner's words made her feel like she was being stroked which was nice!
