Orbis Online
126. The Valuable Fight
While walking around guarding the village from the outside, Reus always finished off every monster he encountered in several attacks. Although his presence and Ikshan are not expected by the residents of Rockfall, he still takes steps that he thinks appropriate.
It was true that the residents of Rockfall were only NPCs, but he felt he would regret not protecting this village with his strength. He had failed once in the war in the village of Viredeta which turned out the enemy managed to achieve his goal, which is to destroy Livetuna.
Reus did not feel any obligation to protect the weak as a strong person like an exemplary knight, he only acted according to his heart that did not want to feel regret for failure.
"Flash Dragon Smite!"
In one slash Reus managed to finish off three Direwolves and two Death Walkers that were on one sword trajectory. After the monsters here had been taken care of, Reus slashed his sword in the air throwing away the blood of the former Direwolf and Death Walker, then put it back into the sheath on his back.
Most players thought attacks containing direct attack skills such as Swing and Dragon Smite would only affect one opponent, but Reus could outsmart them.
Both Swing and Dragon Smite were skills capable of amplifying a user's attacks on a single slash. Generally people would think they could only use this kind of skill on one enemy because it only had an effect on one attack, but Reus did various experiments on most of his skills.
Armed with the title of Skill Modifer and Skill Inventor that opens the mind to Orbis Online is just a virtual game, Reus tries to swing his sword relentlessly on one track using Swing. The result was as one could see, as long as the slash swing had not stopped then a skill like Swing would continue to endure as well.
This was one of Reus' greatest inventions as it made it easy for him to fight various battles that required him to face many enemies at once.
Actually this fact is quite common to players, it's just that most players choose a class that can keep their distance like a Mage so as not to be exposed to painful direct attacks.
Different from physical attacks, magic attacks often disappear when hitting a single target so that this discovery is almost never found or used.
Although the fact of the influence of the physical attack skill could be manipulated like that, most players would still find it difficult to launch a single-slash attack like Reus did. It needs time alignment and precise calculations to be able to attack so.
"{Reus, are you okay there?}"
"Yes, but the number of these monsters is outrageous. They seem endless."
That's right, every time Reus kills one group of monsters, another group of monsters will come consisting of two or more Direwolves and Death Walker. This made Reus' blood rise to the head, especially the lighting that was almost nonexistent at all.
Even now Reus had been surrounded by a group of enemies again, making him move again nimbly while pouring great concentration for fighting in the darkness.
"I'll get you all cleaned up here! Hollow Swords!"
Reus then took out the Dragon Slayer Sword from the Inventory and grasped it in his right hand, which then used Hollow Swords to finish off all of his opponents at once.
But just as ants see sugar, they keep coming. The higher the moon rises, the faster the duration of their arrival. This time the Direwolf and Death Walker that came were not level 40 or 70s anymore, but were level 60 and 80—60 for Direwolf and 80 for Death Walker.
Although the difference was not very significant, the number of monsters Reus faced also grew. If they usually formed a group of five beings, now they were at least seven or more.
"They must have been summoned by a Summoner or Necromancer! No, maybe even both!"
Reus whose head began to heat up now screamed in frustration between the darkness of the night, then did not hesitate to let out the various skills that he had saved before. Even Reus activated Dual Wielding with Dragon Slayer Sword in his right hand and Sword of Bayfrost in his left.
It took some time for Reus to clean up all of them who had been arriving nonstop, but instead most of his stamina was drained. Probably more than 80% of the total.
After he began to run out of breath the enemy no longer arrived in large numbers, but this time came a big bear five meters high who walked with both feet, making Reus' eyes wide.
There was not enough light to show the size of the bear, but Reus was used to the darkness so he could see the bear.
"Khukhukhu, you're finally running out of stamina, stupid man. What a sad sight."
"You... can talk?"
"Of course, I am Daber, one of the two great Diamond Bear in this area!"
Reus' brows twitched slightly hearing the name Diamond Bear. After fighting an enemy that has not stopped coming, now he must face one of the monsters with the highest Vit status known so far? No kidding.
Diamond Bear is a bear-shaped monster that has a skin that almost matches the hardness of a diamond. Their skin is often traded as an expensive Material because of its quality, at least 1,000 Byl every 10 Centimetres of the square. A material that rivaled Mithril Silk was extremely popular among NPC players and nobles.

Reus' lips revealed a meaningful smile when he saw Daber's level, making Daber a little distracted.
"What are you laughing at, man?"
"Well, I'm just a little amused by you."
"Malley? What do you mean?"
Daber frowned not understanding Reus' words, but the curiosity was not answered by the man who drank a purple liquid and in an instant was in front of Daber.
"This is what I mean! Dragon Smite!"
Zraats!
A large diagonal incision was created on Daber's body that could still react to Reus' rapid movements. He took one big step back, but could still be hit by an attack.
"You! How can?!"
Daber's eyes glared violently realizing his skin was injured in just one slash. As the Diamond Bear had a large Vit and skin as hard as a diamond, he could not accept that anyone could hurt him with just one slash.
"You're too big a head just because it's draining my stamina. You think I didn't prepare anticipation for things like this?"
Reus brandished the Dragon Slayer Sword to Daber's face which currently looked extremely frightened. Never before had anyone been able to injure the Diamond Bear in a single slash, this made Daber so frightened.
The secret of Reus's attack is in the Dragon Slayer Sword, which is one of the Ultra Equip-level weapons followed by Dragon Smite, and then the 10% status increase on Reus at night, the addition of 5% of Skill Inventor's attack power, as well as the use of Breathing Power and additional attack power from its speed.
The current status of Vit Reus was growing quite rapidly, supposedly the reduction of Dur on the Dragon Slayer Sword was not as bad as before, so he decided to use it.
"By!!"
Reus' intimidating cold glare with his sword made Daber cry hysterically full of fear, but the giant bear was not willing to give up so easily.
"Dead you! Die you! Die you! Die you!!"
Shaken with fear and danger, Daber swung both arms as hard as he could to tear Reus apart, but the silver-haired player's movements were too agile for him to reach. His claws only managed to tear through the air.
Reus sighed softly before finally exerting Dragon Power and Dragon Spirit simultaneously.
"It's a waste of time."
When he said that, Reus kicked the ground and gave a slash at Daber's heart feather accompanied by Swing and Dragon Smite. Daber's body covered in diamond-hard skin was split in two easily in Reus' hands.
"Damn it.... Brother Masyha. surely...."
Before exhaling his last breath, Daber gave a warning to Reus with a sharp look. The warning was not responded to by Reus, given the incoming message from Ikshan who had just managed to kill a Diamond Bear in his place.
After that valueless fight, Reus returned the Dragon Slayer Sword into the Inventory to replace it into the Sword of Bayfrost again, then stepped deeper into the forest intending to find the mastermind behind all of this.
