Versus The Brave, Finn Diemne

Finn and Riveria. The two executives of Loki Familia are now in from of Zetta, facing opposite of him. if it was someone. They'll get fainted before they even spit a single word.

"How come you're still alive even before coming here?" Finn asks in agitation as he concluded that Zetta isn't an Orario Adventurer.

Afterall, theres no way he's level is above level 4.. He doesn't even have some nickname...

But Zetta's ear tickled at the same time "is that... how you talk to your co-adventurer?" Hearing him, Finn snap back to reality and find himself in dazed.

while Reviria at the same time, "Finn" look at the little pallum with a bit worry.

"No..I mean.. I'm very sorry" Finn swept his face and apologize. 'My blood boils just looking at him.. but why did I get angry? no, this is not anger, my blood really boils. . .'

He then move towards Zetta "May you answer some of my questions if I may?" and then step out from the 19th floor. "But follow me first, please..."

. . .At the cliff where one could see the whole 18th floor by turning yourself 180 degree. Finn spun his spear and thump it on the ground.

"This is more convincing than questioning you.. this is the battle between two brave warriors and a Familia isn't at stake, So you don't have to worry. Alright then, [in the name of Fianna, I Finn the Brave, challenged you into a friendly duel..] will you accept?"

Hearing his speech. Zetta unsheathe his sword and return back the speech with sneer "I, Zetta Exe Deus am Half-Barbarian, descendant of Barbarian, Krom. accepted the Braver, Finn's friendly challenge", knowing him having a Barbarian blood, Riveria and Finn was more amazed

Inside the Dungeon, a Barbarian is a monster. But only because they've been poisoned and mutated.

As a full blood Barbarian, One has to drink their Ancestor's blood, their Champion, Krom to become a fully pledge Barbarian.

But because their productivity isn't as fast and cell isn't as thick as human. Even if they use other races as catalysts, it is difficult for their race to propagate.

Because after they intake their Champions blood even though Barbarian blood is still running through their veins, even as a half-barbarian, Krom's Blood become a poison to them. And thus thats the story depicts. Well, the story of Valiant Barbarian has been long since dead even before the emergeance of many Heroic Tales..

Those who knew them are the one who witnessed their glory. Of course, Riveria and Finn heard a story or two about them. . .

And so time passes by and the Barbarian are now become a monsters that destroys whoever they feel an enemy is. In the end, they've been trapped inside the dungeon as a Monster. a Barbarian monster. as for Zetta to become such one, who knows?

Shing—

Zetta pointed his sword forward.

Zoooom— Zooom—

At the same time, Finn swings his spear, ready at any given moment

Riveria at the same time is at the center-side and swing her hand downward, thus the battle started.

Finn already whispers that he wanted to test the waters against Zetta before coming here, so does Zetta, and Riveria as a referee agrees.

As for why Finn did that even though he's not kind of a barbaric person or a battle maniac, his warrior blood, boils after looking towards the single man. Riveria sighs of this battle junkie in the guise of pallum. . .

CLANG CLANG CLANG——

So their clash started, and at the same time. . .

"hm?" not far away from the battle. A certain elf's ear twitched and look from above as they're walking from the staircase towards the upfront battle.

"Is something the matter? Lefiya?" Asks by an Amazon with flat ironed chest.. Tiona

A girl with yellow longed hair and eye, Ais; and a another amazon with big chest, Tione; at the same time heard a faint sound of clashing, "That was captain's spear of sound!!" Tione bellow as she sniff with her nose and run towards the said area. The remaining three didn't have the choice but to follow.

This four is originally going towards the area where Zetta and Finn are battling, for a sole reason to watch this beautiful scenery of 18th floor. . .

CLANG CLANG CLANG——!

The battle still continues—

Zetta huffed as he avoided Finn's attack by hairs breathe and counters with vertical slash and jumped back thereafter, after the spearhead passes through his side.

Putting his thumb into his forehead, Zetta then muttered <Borrowed Power or Heracles>!

Seeing this scene, Finn smirked. He copied the former and chanted "Magic spear, penetrate my forehead offering blood..."

"Eh!?"

"Did captain use..!?"

"Is he serious?!"

Ais, Tione and Tiona remarks the moment they arrived and at the same time Finn said his last word "...Hell Finegas!" his eyes turned glimmer red thereafter and with his blonde hair, flatters upward.

At the same time, Zetta created red but faint smoke sorrounding his body.

Four girls moved towards Riveria, amazed of the scene infront.

"Riveria-san.. did you know that man?!" Lefiya asks.

"All we know is.. he's from Artemis Familia that lived here at Orario as of today" as their Nanny said and turned serious..

SHING—! KWANG—!

The battle are still on going and Lifeya throw another question, "Artemis Familia. their fame spreaded towards Orario as they venturing outside and valianty destroying any monsters nest wherever they go but... isn't their Familia are consists of only girls?"

CLANG— BVOOM—

Riveria shielded them as debris scattered, and talked "yes.. is what we believe. But that guy confirmed himself, he's not just from Artemis' Familia but he's also its captain"

Before coming to this area, Zetta and this other two of Loki Familia already introduced themselves and talk about other things, so Riveria answered the elf. . .

CLANG CLANG TONG——!

Riveria followed after watching this spectacle "I advised you girls. Of what you witness. Never ever tell of what you see, what you hear and what you know--to anyone even in our Familia."

At the battlefield. Finn is almost and always, seconds away from tearing Zetta's body apart but all of the time, the latter is either accelerated or teleported in or away or from the side of the said pallum. Finn at the same time cannot read the former battle pattern as he either attack, defend or teleport at any direction.

"You're strong. So this is the reason why my blood boils!" Finn sneer. Noticing it. All the girls shivered except Riveria as she saw this comrade's face every now and then especially when they were at an emerging process of the Loki Familia until today.

'That guy.. he's an irregular.. much stronger than...' she thought after watching Zetta's every move, and look at Ais.. and remember the girl named Revis.

"He... did he not chant? is he using chantless too?!" Tiona remembered a certain rabbit like human which are still fresh into their mind after watching this stunts of Zetta's maneuverability—Of how Argonaut-kun beautifully kill a minotaur during level 1. and has a triple S rank at his Falna. Tiona then compares a man infront of him to Bell. . .

"Yes.. but not only one of them.. I estimated them to be atleast more than 3 chantless skills." Ais then answered.

"N-no.. way!?" Lefiya mouth shocked.. first is the rabbit human that sticking into her crush, Ais.

And now this guy who's as strong as Finn. But a chantless magic of more than 3? thats too much!

"He's not that fast to compare from the captain but—" Ais said so while clenching her fists.

"—he's using burst of acceleration or a teleportation just to close the gap of captain's speed" Tione finish her sisters speech.

"He's.. Strong"

"Strong"

"So strong"

"So... Fast!"

Tiona, Tione, Ais and Lefiya muttered at the same time as their voices are in sync.

※ ※ ※

!—huff huff huff..

I. . .can't breath. . .but. . this exhiliration is what made me alive..

I moved my body as if it was synchronized with my brain and move itself without any delay. So this is what they called 'entranced'

Although our strength isn't on par, our agility is almost on par--using my skills to close the gap, though.

But our life and death battle experience isn't that close as I was only a virtual gamer. No matter how many times I teleported anywhere from his blindspot. all I slice is either an empty air or his spear longer than his height.

I know why, for how many chances I did is all but notch.. my intent reaches him of every swing of my sword. Though, we decided for friendly battle, it was a friendly battle to death.

Every time I attack him is an attack intent to kill. and all of them, have been blocked or avoided. That is why I was to be defeated here.

To hell about who won or who loss! I can't let myself be defeated here!

Simultaneously, my <Borrowed Power of Heracles> are no more. His buff called <Hell Finegas> are gone.

Our bouts are about to conclude. and Yes.. It was my defeat as I was pushed back and now hammered through the ground and coughed up in blue light particles.

Did they saw that? I wish they didn't. I was defeated in the end as his spear was now pointing at my forehead.

My body cannot move anymore. I need to store my stamina but I'm afraid I cannot as their eyes multipled. There are now another three or four girls at the side of Riveria.

But I don't want to appraise them. I now know.. those level above me, they feel my Appraisal when using against them. so I restrained myself from doing so. For now.. at least. . .
