Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 80: The Scene at the Pub

Nero had already left the open plains towards a quieter area; his eyes showed a complex look as he read the message that Avollo had sent him, uncertain of how to reply.

____

[Avollo - Hey pal, I've heard that things aren't going so well for you, why not come and meet up? There's something I want to tell you...]

____

Nero looked at this with a hint of confusion as he had no idea why Avollo would as that question. As he thought for a bit, he wrote it off as either Ryo or that man called Grail sending the information to him.

'Since he's sent me a message then there's no point sitting here doing nothing,' Nero thought with a slightly pained look on his face, he felt a bit a lost and only wanted to fight and fight, only then could push away those thoughts.

"I might as well just hurry on over that meeting place of his... after that; I'll focus only on fighting until I can't fight anymore..." Nero thought as his red eyes gleamed in a murderous light, the World Spirits from the surroundings rapidly flying away from him as they kept him a distance.

Nero notice their actions, but he didn't understand why they acted like such due to his current state, he made a weak smile as he murmured while leaving, "So even you guys have abandoned me, maybe this was destiny..."

Nero's back soon faded from this region, leaving behind a scene of blood and corpses that had already started to make its way across the Novice Zone's grapevine.

Within the town of Birgime, the day had only just begun as it bustled with activity. Currently, a few Digitizers were gathered around a large table within the popular pub, eating and chatting as they prepared to go questing.

Looking around, one would notice a few familiar and new faces that were currently seated at different locations; one was the ever so stealthy Poison Boy who sat with his sister while the other none other than Weizer that sat with his lackeys.

Other than these persons, another were two other individuals, both that seemed a bit nonhuman, one seemed to be a male that wore wrappings all over his body with a conical hat that covered his eyes and nose. The other individual had green skin and wore a hooded mage cloak that shrouded most of their features. Strangely enough, a series of vines with spikes had pricked out from the openings of the mantle.

A few individuals gazed at the final two and spoke in hushed tones as one man spoke, "Hey, do you know who they are?"

Another person looked over and was startled, he lowered his head and replied, "I don't know about that wrapped up fellow, but I can tell that he's strong, as for that cloaked up guy, he's on the ranking list, one of this rising rookies I hear that go by the title of Bramble Child..."

"Ah... so he's Bramble Child, what luck, I didn't think I'd see such a famous ranker here..." The other person said.

The other man chuckled as he then pointed towards Poison Boy and spoke, "There's another over there but the most disappointing being that mohawk fellow..."

After speaking, he pointed his finger towards Weizer; the other individual sneered as he looked at Weizer saying nothing, he naturally heard of his rising fame.

Weizer was currently seated with a frown on his face, seeming to be displeased by something.

The lackey at his side stared at him while sweating as he spoke, "Young Master, don't worry, I'm sure that you'll be able to advance in your ranking soon..."

"That's right, if our young master can't, then who can?" The other lackey said with bright eyes.

A few others hearing this, however, looked at them as if looking at fools, some even snickered as they spoke with loud voices.

"Haha, did you hear that? That fellow dubbed as the Mohawk Wannabe is so talented that no one can accomplish what he can't, talk about being special!" A big-bodied guy said as he laughed at the top of his voice.

"Hahaha! It's no wonder he got that name, truly fitting..." The others in the pub said with a laugh, not long after many others also joined in filling the pub with the sounds of laughter.

Weizer's eyes shone with hatred as he glared at his lackeys, causing them to shrink back in fear, he bit his lips while lowering his head as he thought to himself, 'DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! No one can speak to me like this, NO ONE! I will exceed everyone else; I am the only one deserving to be a genius!'

As Weizer had his breakdown, the crowd's laugher soon faded as they began to discuss other things. Poison Boy sneered as he looked at Weizer from his table and spoke to his sister, "Such a loser, Ivy, remember never associate with such a failure from the Finely Family."

The sexy young girl with slender green eyes and blackish-green hair styled into two pigtails nodded as she looked at her brother and replied with a giggle, "Hehe, brother, you should know that I'd never stoop so low,"

Ivy then began to ground her sharp green nails with her daggers as she smirked, showing an odd smile.

The Poison Boy stared her in silence before he shifted his eyes around the room, but soon, he began to hear a piece of strange news.

"Hey, did you see that clip yet?" A bunny-eared girl said.

"Huh? What clip?" An elf-like eared girl replied.

"You mean to say you haven't seen that video that's blown up, some guys had shared it across the private network..." The bunny-eared girl said with a somewhat baffled look.

"No, I haven't, what's it about this time?" The elf-like eared girl asked curiously.

The bunny-eared girl rolled her eyes as she spoke, "It's about that handsome Silver Boy..."

"What?" Not only the elf-eared girl, both the Poison Boy and Weizer, who were originally listening uttered as they looked over, they both looked at each other in shock before they snorted.

A few others also heard the girl's words and couldn't help but speak, "Huh? You girls talking about that new brat on that so-called [Handsome Men List]? What about him?"

The pub's scene turned strange as everyone looked at the girls, even the two silent individuals who stood at the corner paid attention.

The man who wore wrappings with a conical hat glanced towards the girls, as the Bramble Child shifted his head in that direction with two strange-looking circular lights shining underneath.

At this moment, the girl who spoke finally stared at everyone and answered, "Everyone, I've got a shocking piece of news about this rising genius, just take a look at this clip."

When she spoke, she waved her hand, causing a large virtual screen to appear as the images of Nero widely slaughtering the goblins in the field with a savage appearance as he laughed was played.

The instant they saw this, everyone became stunned as they started a commotion.

"Holy shit! Aren't those Level 6 Bandit Goblins? Are you frigging telling me that this newbie is slaughtering those goblins in such a manner?" One humanoid said in alarm as he slammed his tablet, spilling his drinks.

"Look at that technique, his scythework is amazing! This guy definitely has what it takes to join the ranking list, why hasn't he joined it yet?" Another person said.

"Such a savage intent, I don't know who called him such a gentle name, I think he's better off known as the Silver Blood Fiend..." A random voice said.

As if the crowd heard the words, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement as some of them spoke, "Haha, Silver Blood Fiend is truly fitting, this guy looks like he wants to eat their flesh and swallow their bones..."

As the crowd chattered on, both the Poison Boy and Weizer gazed at the video in shock, as they never expected Nero of all persons to grow so strong, they both clenched their fists tightly as their eyes emanated hostilely.

One was angered at the fact that he had lost face and the other mostly burned with jealousy, they both decided to crush him if they got the chance. The scene here in the pub was destined to spark another chain of events as Nero was about to achieve one of his dearest wishes unknowingly.
