Bab 102: Evilus Attacks!
Chapter 102 - Evilus Attacks!
Immediately after the Denatus concluded, the guild disclosed some information about the naming ceremony.
General knowledge about high-class adventurers is publicly available in Orario.
Details, such as the upgrade process of Luke and Ais, including their names, affiliated Familia, races, levels, and the time taken to rank up, are disclosed by the guild.
However, the so-called information disclosure only goes so far.
Details like the weapons adventurers use, their preferred items, skills and magic, and their expertise in combat, are not disclosed to the public, and even the guild itself is not aware.
The aliases of top adventurers in Orario, like the 'Braver' Finn, are widely known among common folks in major kingdoms outside the city.
However, some may not even be aware that Finn's preferred choice of weapon is a long spear.
Because of their information disclosed by the guild, Luke and Ais have become celebrities in Orario.
In less than a year, both of them were promoted to Level 2 simultaneously, an unprecedented speed of progress that shocked the entire city.
In the days that followed, almost all gossip in Orario revolved around them.
However, for Luke and Ais, this wasn't necessarily a good thing.
For instance, the current situation in front of them.
"Hmph, boy, this time it won't be like last time!"
A total of more than ten adventurers surrounded Luke and Ais on a narrow path.
All of them are Level 2 adventurers, and their leader has even reached Level 3.
Such a team is not something many Familia in Orario can assemble.
Facing such a large force, Luke and Ais, surrounded on all sides, appeared calm.
Because they have gotten used to such situations...
Not only Luke, even Ais has gotten used to it.
Ever since their aliases as 'Sword Master' and 'Sword Princess' and their achievements became well known, envious and jealous adventurers frequently came looking for trouble.
Including this time, it's already the seventh time this month ill-intentioned adventurers came looking for them.
"Ais, how many do you want this time?"
Luke ignored the adventurers surrounding them and asked Ais for confirmation.
"Hmm..."
"Six... I think I should have no problem handling them."
Ais tilted her cute head, pondered for a while, and then answered Luke.
The first time she encountered these trouble-seeking adventurers, Ais felt scared and would hide behind Luke for security.
She could fearlessly wield her sword against any monster, but she hadn't learned how to deal with her own kind.
But no matter what, things become less scary when you're exposed to them more often.
These trouble-seeking adventurers would surround Luke and Ais time and time again, only to be beaten down by him each time.
This made Ais, who initially hid behind Luke, gradually feel that these people didn't seem so threatening.
Compared to ferocious monsters or mighty dragons, these adventurers were hardly worth mentioning.
So, over time, Ais was able to calmly face these trouble-seekers.
Upon hearing Ais's answer, Luke didn't say anything.
After all, this wasn't their first time.
He just nodded at Ais and then charged towards the Lv3 adventurer leading the opposite group.
Swinging his Sword Sheath of Tranquility, Luke effortlessly knocked away two Lv2 adventurers blocking his way.
Having reached Level 2, Luke's physical abilities had undergone a qualitative leap.
Now, even without the boost of Prana, he could effortlessly suppress Level 2 adventurers.
Boom!
Blue starlight shimmered on the Sword Sheath as Luke, with an unstoppable momentum, sent the Lv3 adventurer with a fearful face flying.
Just as he was about to finish off the others and conclude this 'trouble encounter,' he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him seemed a bit off.
Unknowingly, Ais, who had been fighting alongside him with other adventurers, had disappeared.
Not only her, but everyone around had vanished without a trace.
"Magic?"
"Yes, this is my subordinates' magic, used to divide the battlefield. After all, it's most suitable for dealing with lackeys of guilds like you."
As Luke looked around, a woman's voice echoed in front of him.
Following that, numerous adventurers dressed in black robes, led by two individuals, emerged from the shadows and stood opposite Luke.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm called Valletta, a senior member of the organization you refer to as Evilus."
Perhaps thinking she had Luke in the palm of her hand and wanting to enjoy his struggling expression to satisfy her perverse desires, Valletta confidently explained to Luke.
"The purpose for us appearing here, you should be able to guess by now."
"Haha, then please die here!"
Luke looked at the opponent's typical antagonist act of seeking death with some speechlessness, not knowing how to reply.
The woman who spoke, Luke recognized her.
Valletta Grede, a senior member of Evilus known as 'Arachnia,' was a Level 3 adventurer extremely close to reaching Level 4.
Don't underestimate her just because she's Level 3; this woman could be considered Finn's old rival.
Under Valletta's command were numerous magic users with strange effects.
With the help of these mages, she managed to escape unscathed after facing Finn several times.
Although Finn could easily crush Valletta in terms of combat power, if she was determined to escape, Finn was helpless against her retreat.
The reason Luke was tasked with taking care of Ais, thus freeing up the magic specialist Riveria, was largely to deal with this troublesome woman and her subordinates.
"You're so sure you've got me figured out like that?"
Luke scratched his head, silently raising his guard.
Although Evilus was indeed skilled in causing chaos, and judging from their multiple escapes from Finn and others, they clearly had expertise in retreat.
It shouldn't be this reason for them to be so confident in surrounding and killing Luke.
Even if the outside world didn't have a detailed understanding of his strength, just from the guild's publicly disclosed information, one could deduce that Luke possessed at least Level 4 combat capability.
As expected, not surprising Luke, after hearing his question, Valletta laughed.
At the same time, another person in a black robe approached her.
"I certainly wouldn't be naive enough to think one person could take you down."
"After so many days of scouring for information, I have confirmed that you have strength far beyond that of a Level 3 adventurer."
"So, I've brought in reinforcements. Even if you have a Level 4 strength, you must die here today!"
As she spoke, under Luke's gaze, the person next to Valletta took off his headwear, revealing his pale white hair.
Also another senior member of Evilus, a Level 3 adventurer known as 'Vendetta,' Olivas Act
The appearance of this person made Luke completely raise his guard.
He surveyed his surroundings, roughly counting there to be more than 30 Evilus members in black robes surrounding him.
If all of them are Level 3 adventurers, it would indeed pose a great threat to Luke.
Not to mention how many of these high-class adventurers have weird magic and skill effects that Luke has no idea about.
Even if all these adventurers just attack together, due to the disparity in level, the high frequency of attacks would make it impossible for Luke to block them all.
Although Luke with the presence of Prana is unlikely to die, there is still a possibility of getting injured or being affected by some unknown magic.
However, just as Luke was quietly raising his guard, the words from Valletta behind almost took his breath away.
"With me and Olivas here, along with the assistance of so many Level 2 adventurers, it's more than enough to surround and kill a Level 2 adventurer like you."
"So what if you have combat power that far exceeds that of an ordinary adventurer? Physical fitness is your biggest weakness."
Valletta looked disdainfully at Luke.
"And kid, let me tell you, fighting humans and fighting monsters are two completely different matters."
"Facing experts like us who specialize in hunting humans, how much of that extraordinary strength can you retain when you've only fought against monsters?"
"Hahaha, killing you, cutting off Loki Familia's future hope, I can already imagine that damn Finn shedding tears of regret."
Valletta laughed sinisterly, as if she could truly envision Finn's remorseful appearance.
