<h4>Chapter 102: Dk''s Revenge (Part 18) Combat Butler</h4>


    "Alright, then. Let''s end this..." Amelia whispered to herself, as she calmlynded in front of the correct mansion. She put her hands inside her jacket''s pockets and looked at the burned ground and a barrier of ice melting away.


    **Our NPCs'' work, probably. But that doesn''t exin why the trees around this area look dead.**


    Amelia got close to one and caressed its gray bark. The tree turned into ashes immediately.


    **No, it''s not only this ce. While I was flying, I noticed that the whole domain has been gradually decaying. Is this programmed to happen as the bosses are being eliminated? As some sort of ''the end is near'' ambience?**


    **Whatever,** Amelia sighed, tossing her hair behind her shoulder. **The most important thing right now is nning my grand entrance.**


    She grinned ear to ear. Something she would not do in front of others.


    **Should I crash the rooftop, like a life-saving angel? Or should I hide somewhere nearby and wait for thest second to save his ass? I could even say: ''Sorry for beingte'', or, ''I arrived just in time, n!''.**


    She giggled while embracing herself.


    **I can only imagine his expression when his hot, awesome, extremely beautiful and powerful co-leader enters the scene and saves the day! I should have asked ra to lend me her camera. Hu-hu-hu.**


    "Speaking of the devil," she whispered, getting a Party Chat request notification.


    ++"ra? Have you received the news? Tell me you''re nearby, because I need your..."++


    ++"Amelia! Where are you?!"++


    ++"I''m about to enter the mansion n is in. I''m going to kick that Dk''s butt so hard than..."++


    ++"No, no, no! Do NOT help him!"++


    ++"What?"++ Amelia intoned angrily, grimacing.


    ++"Listen, you''re the only one that can one-shot the boss, and the only one that Unus Town needs right now!"++


    ++"What are you talking abo--?"++


    ++"There is a group of Dk Duplicates marching towards New Unus Town as we speak! I just got rid of a level 30 duplicate, so we must assume that those duplicates will be of the same level or even higher!"++


    **A bunch of level thirty-something dungeon bosses marching towards the Beginner''s Town?**


    Through Amelia''s mind shed the faces of her neighbors, of the slime-folk, of the guilders helping rebuild their homes.


    ++"Understood,"++ Amelia replied. ++"It will take me a minute to kill the real Dy--"++


    ++"Don''t do that either. The dungeon will reset!"++


    Amelia shut her eyes.


    **Her voice can be very annoying sometimes...**


    ++"How do you know all this, anyway?"++


    ++"I may have met the—ahem—''person'' responsible for this mess..."++


    ++"That you what?!"++


    ++"I have a n, trust me! In the meantime, just help me protect Unus, please! You''re the only one capable of getting there fast and pulling it off!"++


    Amelia nced at the mansion in front of her and bit her lower lip. **Leave the security of my Guild Master in the hands of this weirdo?**


    She formed fists, before turning around and crafting fire wings. "Fine. Leave it to me."


    Amelia flew towards the area from where they had entered and crossed the force field safely.


    **Very well, ra. Show me how dependable you are.**


    She hopped on her flying tiger as soon as it materialized and took flight at full speed.


    **n Warden is the man that will save this spaceship from future damnation, so I expect hispanions to be worthy of such a monumental task.**


    **Prove that you''re worthy of being a member of Phantom Seekers, then, ra Dominguez...**

    Meanwhile, the Weakest Hero of the People, was running away from the Boss Chambers.


    "Oh,e on! Why is he level 40?!" n cried while going down the stairs in a hurry. "He should be level 15, right?! Or am I misremembering it?"


    "No, you''re correct, Guild Master," Fabio replied, while casting Zap towards their pursuer. "He should have leveled up during this time."


    "25 levels in a matter of hours?! Yeah, right! I bet the system is cheating on me!"


    **And worst of all, I can''t let this Boss kill me. Although I can respawn, I''m not sure if it will be the same for Fabio. If he can''t revive, I''ll lose my best fighting chance!**


    ++"Can you hear me through Party Chat, Fabio?"++


    ++"Loud and clear, Guild Master."++


    ++"Can''t you leave a trap or something? Something to distract him while I hide."++


    ++"Yes, I can."++


    Fabio quietly cast: "Minor Electric Crafting, Zap Mine." He imbued the floor with mana and continued running towards the left aisle of the first floor. In a couple of seconds, they could hear Dk getting incapacitated for a moment. ++"It''s done, but he''ll recover in a matter of seconds."++


    ++"Fine. Let''s use this corridor. His movements will be restricted here."++ n quickly entered a room, and hid inside a closet where he cast: "Mechanic-ss Active Skill, Advanced Puppet Master."


    ++"Fabio has epted the connection, n,"++ Aaron informed, materializing on his shoulder, at the same time a neon virtual keyboard and mouse illuminated the closet''s interior. When n put on his goggles, he could see what Fabio was witnessing.


    Count Dk was walking down the corridor, cautiously. "Where is n Warden, NPC?"


    "I''m buying him time so he can escape," n spoke through Fabio.


    "Ridiculous," Dk sneered. "He can''t escape from the mansion. He is surely..."


    ++"Aaron,"++ n called, while Dk spoke to Fabio. ++"Give me aplete list of Fabio''s skills."++


    ++"Here it is."++


    -----------------


    ++ACTIVE SKILLS++


    + Minor Electric Crafting. Zap


    + Minor Electric Crafting. Zap Mine


    + Medium Electric Style. Volt Punch


    -----------------


    ++PASSIVE SKILLS++


    +COMBAT BATTERY+


    **An electric aura that surrounds the user and bes more powerful as time goes on. Increases the speed of the user, and wears down the enemy overtime. **


    +ELECTRIC INFUSED ATTACKS


    (Provided by ELECTRIC KNUCKLES)+


    **Only applicable while equipping the item. Requires mana.


    -----------------


    ++"He doesn''t have the Overcharge skill like Be?"++


    ++"No, n. Although the Combat Battery skill could be a close approximation if Fabio can generate enough electric charge to activate it."++


    ++"Neat. It''s good to see that you can read all this information and assimte it quickly. By the way, I don''t have to learn how to cast these skills, right?"++


    ++"Correct. Fabio will automatically cast them for you. Do you want me to create keyboard shortcuts for every one of his Active Skills?"++


    ++"Yes..."++


    n exhaled, and made Fabio form fists, as Dk finished talking:


    "So, if you understand, get out of my way, you NPC..."


    "You keep talking as if being an NPC made me inferior," n talked through Fabio, making Dk frown. "But is having a little self-consciousness really a benefit? This ego of yours makes you more human-like. I thought NUs were supposed to be the next evolution of AIs. Aren''t you failing your creator''s expectations?"


    "What do you know about what being unique is like?!" Count Dk shouted, emanating a dark aura. "You obey your master''s orders without question and parrot what they have programmed into you! You don''t have a personality. YOU HAVE NOTHING!"


    ++"Aaron, can you scan Dk''s status?"++


    ++"Sorry, but no. His level is too high for us to scan. I could make an estimation though, but only after analyzing hisbat capabilities. Are you afraid that Fabio won''t stand a chance?"++


    ++"Kinda... Wait, no, I''m used to this. In games, the boss is always stronger than the yer, you know?"++


    ++"Are those games some kind of torture, n?"++
