Chapter 192: The Lady Aurielle’s Trauma
’Chain quest?’ Luke became surprised, so he asked the system about this.
The system explained that chain quests were type of long quest, which would follow a single type revolving around same entity or object.
And in the future it would come again if certain trigger conditions were met.
’So the rewards will be the same?’ After hearing the system’s answer, Luke asked this as well.
Because he heard from Aurielle that all heroes had an SSS rank origin skill. Which was also one of the reasons for their insane growth in the start. And also the reason for their insane combat power.
"Though mine is fake." Luke muttered under his breath, with a cheated expression, on which an annoyed emoji followed.
[(;一_一)]
[Luke, I told you already. It’s not my fault. You were targeted and that’s why you didn’t have those benefits.]
He knew this, still it annoyed him. Because earlier he had asked the system *why his skill couldn’t fix it.*
But on that, the system didn’t reply or didn’t want to talk.
Then system return back to topic and gave the previous question answer.
Meanwhile...
The Bassus brothers just stared at the stunned hero, who was muttering something under his breath, likely talking with a ghost.
’Ghost!’ At that thought, both of their faces became pale and they looked around warily, while Osric just shook his head.
Because everyone close to Luke alrady knew, that many times he often acted like this, which almost everyone had got accustomed to.
Luke noticed all three expressions, but didn’t care.
[Yes, your skill would be upgraded each time.]
’That’s insane!’ Upon this his face lit up with big smile.
After that, he read the description again to make sure. He didn’t missed anything.
Though, all of the descritpion was full of unknowns, and he could even find that he was involved in some kind of conspiracy.
Which maked him warry, despite this he knew the system would not answer him, even if he asked, so he just ignored that part and hoped maybe he would find some answer inside this temple.
But still, when he looked at the difficulty part, he became flabbergasted. ’Bronze knight difficulty?’
’That’s it?’
’I thought it would be something dangerous-’
[Luke, it is.]
Luke’s thought stopped by the system’s sudden intervention, but after hearing his words,
He became curious. ’Why would you say that?’
’You know, I am already fighting golden knights. So doesn’t Bronze Knight combat power seem easy to me?’
The system paused for a moment before answering his query, which he had already said once before.
[You know about higher species, which I had said before.]
Luke nodded, because he remembered clearly why his Titan transformation had more power at the same stage compared to oth--
’Wait.’
His expression changed to shocked, when this thought came. Because the system did give an example.
That a dragon at the same realm could easily take down a higher realm of lower species, like humans, goblins, etc...
Though the goblins part he added himself. But still, this meant that what he was going to face in that dungeon also belonged to an upper species.
How much upper, he couldn’t guess, so he asked the expert.
[Titans.]
"O_O"
Luke’s mouth fully opened with shock. ’Titans!!!’
’A f*cking real titan.’
Of course he was fake, because he didn’t have even a single percentage of a real titan in his bloodline.
Even though he could literally transform into Nyx, Myrkhal and Caelith, even that, the system said, they were pure titans, not your transformation.
So facing a real titan gave him... some goosebumps.
*Why some?*
Because he was excited...
Excited to find if a real titan was stronger or his fake transformation.
As Luke was thinking this, a large grin slowly appeared on his face, which freaked out the three of them.
’Has the Master finally lost it?’ Osric sighed, while feeling pity for his lord.
’I knew this day would come. After all, Lady Aurielle gave him so much trauma.’
If Luke knew Osric thoughts, then he would definetly add more works to him.
Meanwhile, the other two were also thinking, not the same things, which was Osric thinking. Instead,
’Is Sir Luke being so happy thinking about the treasure he would get from this map?’
At this, question marks appeared on both heads, because the treasure hadn’t even been found yet and Luke was being happy even before it.
"Ahem!" Luke noticed their weird expressions and coughed to remove their gaze.
Before looking toward the system screen, which was showing the direction and the location of the temple on Stormhowl Mountains.
’So no need for this ancient paper.’ Luke noticed, because he had just touched the paper and the system had already uploaded the map location in it.
After this, he made a generous face. Who didn’t like to take benefits, instead helped everyone.
"I don’t need your treasure, you can have it."
Hearing Luke’s words, both Bassus brothers eyes widened which make them confused. ’No need?’
Seeing their confused faces, he said, "Since you are willing to become my subordinates."
"Then how could I? as your lord, take advantage of my subordinate."
Luke said with a smile, before looking straight at their eyes with an expression that clearly said, *I am a generous lord.*
Upon this, Patrick’s eyes became moist, while Peter became somewhat became more confused.
Though Patrick didn’t notice this and shouted.
"Lord, thank you."
"Thank you so much for your grace."
"I, Patrick, will serve you with all my might and will not back away, even if the enemy is a Platinum Knight."
’Yeah, because you would die the moment a being of this level comes in front of you.’ Luke still maintained a smile and didn’t dare to say his thoughts out loud.
After that he ordered Osric to call Aurora and let them take an oath, before also arranging accommodation for them.
Then he left with a cheerful smile and didn’t even notice that Osric was giving him a respectful gaze from behind.
’Lord is so generous that he was even willing to face a Diamond Knight for his subordinate.’
If Luke found out his thoughts, he would give him an idiot look, because who in their right mind would face a Diamond Knight with their Golden Knight combat power.
Meanwhile.
The original Luke, who was practicing his skills inside the time chamber, knew all of this, because using his half focus, he was controlling this clone all the time.
This technique Nyx had taught him earlier during his long practice. Of course, currently, he couldn’t control all of his clones at the same time.
And he had to give them orders, which they followed subconsciously, while using previous memory patterns of Luke.
