Orbis Online
111. The Battle of Hroud VI
Slash by slash, punch by punch, every attack Reus and Ash launched triggered a powerful shockwave that sent every monster around them crashing far back.
Reus swung Blackstar along with Swing at each of his attacks, while Ash only pushed his fists as usual as if Reus' attacks were not so great in his eyes.
It is true that the existence of Ouroboros Mode which is the hidden ability of the Black Predator Reus power increased drastically, but all of it has not been comparable to the pure physical strength of Ash Greyhold—although it has been added to the ability of Black Form.
A few minutes later, the two took one step back and stared at each other.
"Where did you get that sword, you son of a bitch?"
"This sword? I got it from someone."
Ash raised his eyebrows in disbelief hearing Reus' reply.
"someone? Is he from the Wallenstein family?
'Wallenstein?'
This time it was Reus' turn to raise his eyebrows. He still remembered the appearance and name of Blackstar's giver, but not his entire name. In the Quest panel at that time it was only announced that the name of the Quest giver was 'Elise' only, no surname was shown there.
"What's with the Wallenstein surname?"
"You really don't know the Wallenstein family?"
"You think I'd ask if I knew?"
Ash grinned as soon as he got an unexpected reply from Reus. How can there be a human who does not know the Wallenstein family? At least that's what he thinks about a player who just entered the world of Orbis Online a few months ago.
"Huh, it's useless for me to ask a cockroach like you."
While saying that, Ash immediately darted and lashed his punch again to Reus, but fortunately managed to be held back using Blackstar. Thanks to Ash's powerful punch Reus bounced a few steps back.
'His skin was hard, maybe even harder than Mitrhil!'
Not only the skin, Ash's punch also has energy that is not kidding. When viewed from the level comparison alone Reus is clearly defeated if only there is no Black Predator with its hidden effect, Ouroboros Mode.
It is possible that Reus can still compensate Ash with all the abilities and skills he has now, but that can only be done if Ash does not take it seriously. For now even using all the power he has can not defeat Ash without the greatest effort.
'He's my strongest opponent after Arshwind.'
While muttering in his heart, Reus continued to endure Ash's streak of blows that grew stronger and stronger as his fists floated.
"Poison Breath!"
Not wanting to linger depressed Ash's successive attacks, Reus opened his mouth and let out a large amount of bright purple-colored smoke towards Ash followed by a leap far back, which he then jumped back, then it continued with the darting of some magic from inside Blackstar.
Blaarr!
A large enough explosion echoed between the walls of the cave, but it was not enough to stop Ash from escaping from the Poison Breath plume. Reus' eyebrows shot up high looking at his opponent who looked completely unperturbed with his Poison Breath.
"The white!"
One blow was fired by Ash when Reus entered his strike range, but fortunately Reus was able to avoid the attack that tore through the air.
"Then I have to use the Dragon Slayer Sword!"
Reus who managed to dodge it immediately took a step back as quickly as possible, then took the Dragon Slayer Sword from his Inventory and activated Self Dual Wielding at the same time.
"Huh, getting an extra sword won't mean much! Smite!"
Not wanting to let his prey escape, Ash again deployed Smite towards Reus' head as a target. His lips curled violently upwards smiling as if everything would be over in an instant.
"Wild Style: Cross Revenge!"
The trailer!
With the two swords in hand, Reus swung the two together like he was making an 'x' mark making Ash's punch fail and flicked it a few steps back.
The four-eyed figure's eyebrows shot up violently looking at a human who was actually much weaker than him could thicken his punch. However, Reus' attacks did not stop there.
"Wild Style: The Flash Sword!"
The silver-haired player then slashed his two swords in quick succession at lightning speed to the point that Ash was not at all wrinkled, until at the ninth slash only then did Ash take a step back for the first time based on his initiative.
Reus who had gained his momentum did not want to let his opponent escape so he immediately darted and gave two slashes accompanied by Swing and Dragon Smite on Ash's body.
"Ughhhh!"
Ash crashed far back thanks to Reus' attack, but the silver-haired player did not seem to want to lose his momentum on this fight. He darted quickly using Sprint while activating Hollow Swords that instantly became one sword, then swung all the swords he had with Swing and Dragon Smite.
"Wild Style: The Secret Triangle!"
Zraaatt!
Thanks to his fierce dominance, Reus is able to launch an attack that successfully leaves Ash's body severely injured. All the monsters around who were watching their fight were wide-eyed, even Reus himself could not believe what he saw.
'I know the Dragon Slayer Sword is indeed strong, but I really did not expect it to tear the body of a Fighter who is usually reinforced by a Hard Skin.'
Hard Skin is one of the passive skills that are usually obtained by Fighters or the like. This skill is similar to Reus' Dragon Skin, but can make the user's skin as hard as iron to attack or defend.
"Armghh!!"
Ash roared with all his might in pain after the three slashes of Reus split his body. Dragon Slayer Sword was indeed incredible, even a level 250 enemy could be harmed by a level 45 player. Wasn't this item really imba in Reus' hands?
As Ash roared in pain, Reus focused his gaze on Ash examining his opponent's HP. His eyes widened violently upon seeing a red blood drop symbol beside the HP Ash bar.
'This is Bleeding status?'
Bleeding, one of the deadly bad statuses for anyone who was exposed, be it NPCs or players. As the name suggests this status is able to make the victim exposed to severe bleeding for a few seconds. As long as this status goes on the victim will lose 10 HP points per second.
Aware of the god of fortune accompanying him, Reus then launched one closing strike with all his might.
"Swings! Dragon Smite's! Double Anchors!"
One slash from the three swords finally took Ash's life, separating his opponent's head and body at the same time. Fatal status was also successfully obtained in the attack.
