The Immortal Player

Chapter 78: Showing off in front of a King!

"Such insolence!" A Knight standing beside the King grasped his sword and shield tightly as he stared daggers to Pedro.

"Please let me finish my introduction. My name is Death, Aron Death... the apprentice of Madame Soledad and the new Captain of the Legendary ship Karakoa!" Pedro bowed in respect with a smirk on his face. He stole a glance to the Knight as if mocking him.

"YOU!?" The King was astonished and responded with a smug in his face.

"Yes... Me!" Pedro nodded with a confident smile as if saying 'You wanna test it out?'.

"HAHAHAHA! You got some confidence, Young Aron. But... It is still not enough to prove that you are telling the truth!" The King released a magical aura that caught the attention of everyone. Though it is not comparable to the magical aura of Madame Soledad when her demon eyes activate, It is far stronger than that of a regular NPC, and than that of Village Soldier Tam in his "disguised" or "Human" form.

'My guess was right! It won't be easy to convince them without showing power...' Pedro stole a glance at Faunia. She was confused to why Pedro looked at her. Faunia wore an awkward smile as she started to talk with Pedro telepathically.

'Human, is there a problem?'

'No, there is no problem... It's just that to convince this 'King'...'

'We need to show our true strength?'

'Yes!'

'Just tell me and I'd show them what they want!' Faunia smirked to Pedro as if saying 'Why don't we roast some of them to ashes, maybe, they'll know who is in front of them!'

'Uhh... there is no need for you to "roast" someone. Let me handle this simple task!' Pedro smiled back to Faunia. Upon shifting his gaze back to the King of Naga Kingdom, He wore a serious look as he considers the NPCs in front of him as a threat.

Fwoooooosh!

Bog! Bog! Bog! Bog!

Pedro's eye turned black as he stood and look down to the King who was on his knees due to the ~Emperor's Will~ effect.

'This human... He trully resembles a Great Demon King! Absolute power, strength, magical energy, and... Authority!' Faunia felt shivers run into her spine as she watches the scary figure of Pedro that seemed like looking down upon everyone... no, everything around him.

"Such... strength..." The King wore a grim look on his face as he held his head to 'somehow' resist the mental fatigue Pedro caused as he slowly glances around and watches the players and NPCs fell to the ground or be on their knees due to the sudden the mental fatigue.

Only the King, the old noble with the kid, a handful of knights beside the King and Faunia were able to remain conscious and awake, among those who were within the one hundred meter radius around Pedro. All the players, Including Pedro's group, slept tight in the shore.

"Vonider... Son..." The King was still coping up with the mental suppression by Pedro when he had a glance at the 'sleeping' Vanider in the old noble's arms.

"You believe me, now?" Pedro stared at the King as the situation was reversed instantly. Now, Pedro looked down upon the King as if it was his prey.

"Believe you?" the King chuckled as he grasped his sword by his side and stared back to Pedro.

Pak!

"Eh?!" The King was astounded as Faunia appeared between him and Pedro. Faunia used her hand to stop the silver sword of the King that was targeted to Pedro.

"If I were you, I would not do that. I am not Madame Soledad. I don't have that much relationship with you and your people." Pedro warned as Faunia's grip to the silver sword tightens and it started to crack.

"So... Please don't do it again! I won't be considerate next time. Now... Do you believe me? or~" Pedro smirked evilly as if resembling a demon.

"I believe you! I believe you!" The King lost all his pride as his heart was now filled with fear. He knew, himself, how strong someone from BHO, especially those who were Master ranked and above just like Madame Soledad.

"That's fair enough! Anyway... Circumstances had gone far beyond my expectations. I am here to tell you about the... death of Madame Soledad."

"Then, who will lend us their support in fighting monste~"

"Do not worry! I carry the will of Madame Soledad to help humans fight against the monsters. Whenever I am around, I will do my best to protect humans." Pedro blinked as his eye reverted to its normal state. Slowly, the players and other NPCs started to wake up from their sleep.

"However... Unlike Madame Soledad, I believe that... some humans... tend to become monsters themselves!" Pedro stood eye to eye with the King as the King slowly recovers from the mental fatigue induced by Pedro.

"Humans? become monsters?" The King frowned in confusion from what Pedro said.

"And before you notice it, the wolf would already be in your yard!" Pedro turned and walked towards his boat.

"Where are you going, mister?" The young Vonider chased after Pedro.

"Hmm... Elder Brother is gonna go where the strongest humans are located!" Pedro smiled as he pated Vonider's head.

"Then, you won't fight those monsters?"

"Hahahaha! Of course, I will! Elder Brother will just look for extra help so we can protect many Kingdoms like the Naga Kingdom!"

"Help? Vonider can help! Yesterday, I killed a 'Barbit' with ice magic!" Vonider grasped his hand and hit it to his chest, proudly.

'Barbit... the monster that looked like a rabbit. It is one of the agility type monsters, where its speed compensates for the low hp and damage output. This kid...' Pedro was astounded momentarily but he was able to compose himself immediately.

"Good! Good! It seems like you have talent, kid! One day, Join my crew!" Pedro smiled as he boarded his boat.

"Uhm..." Vonider paused for a moment before nodding in response to Pedro. He was full of determination after reminiscing the similar scene that happened months ago.

...

"Aunt! Aunt! Can I join your crew? I can already cast ice magic. And... and... Elders in our Kingdom says I have a talent at such a young age!" Vonider bragged as he ran towards Madame Soledad who just arrived at the dock near the Naga Kingdom.

"Ho hoo... Is that so?"

"Uhm... Uhm..."

"It's decided then! When you are at the proper age, you can join my crew!" Madame Soledad smiled back to Vonider as she pats his head.
