The victims of Reus's stone throwing were countless but what Reus believed was the hail of stones successfully killed at least a hundred soldiers not far there. Not to mention thanks to its poison effect that continued to reduce HP, there was not much the soldiers could do.

Their only path right now was to advance valiantly towards where Reus and the comrades were.

   "You're making the wrong choice."

Reus drew his sword to welcome the few survivors to him.

   "Dragon Smite! Energy Wave!"

Reus slashed out the Dragon Slayer Sword splitting the air. His sword slash unleashed a surge of energy that killed several of the foremost warriors instantly upon being hit by his attack.

Thanks to Ikshan's shrewdness of forging and remodeling, Reus did not lose the Special Trait Set given his Dragon series equipment. That was why the fusion of Dragon Smite and Energy Wave was so deadly to his opponent who was within his range.

Reus did not wait for the other soldiers to get closer, he instead approached some of the soldiers while deploying Hollow Swords. The five swords are now hovering around Reus' body and attacking his enemies automatically, while Reus focuses on eliminating the other opponents.

   "Am I not the only useless one here?"

As the battlefield was dominated by Reus, Dunk who was standing not far behind him muttered with a wry smile. The mutterings caught the attention of Kynel and Crystina, both of whom felt sympathy for Dunk who had done almost nothing so far.

Unlike Crystina who deliberately saves energy to face Xavier, Dunk should help Reus reduce the troops that arrive, but unfortunately instead of helping Dunk actually become an obstacle for Reus.

Kynel has created a lot of rocks for Reus to use as a long-range weapon, while Dunk? Other than beating a few opponents behind the wall previously there was nothing he could do, especially at this moment.

When Dunk heaved a heavy sigh feeling himself useless, Crystina came patting him on the shoulder with a smile.

   "Don't you compare that to a normal Reus player. Even if he fights me now maybe I'll lose."

Dunk slightly widened his eyes in disbelief at Crystina's words. How could a level 300 player like Crystina lose to Reus who was only level 150? That thought was what floated in Dunk's mind now.

Moments later Reus stepped back towards them while consuming a bottle of Energy Potion.

   "It's over?"

   "Yes, that's it. Their main force won't be too troublesome this way."

Crystina looked ahead to see so many undamaged corpses, be it in the former target of the hail that Reus used or the short battle that had just occurred a few meters ahead of them.

When things began to calm and quiet, Reus looked back quickly then swung his sword in the air surprising and astonished Crystina and others, but Reus' actions were missed when the sound of collisions between metals in the air was accompanied by a little spark.

Moments later, an arrow landed on the ground not far from where Reus was standing. Reus retreated a few steps back so powerful the attack just now.

Reus's eyes were immediately diverted to a woman kneeling next to her feet with a bow in hand on the area of the former hailstone she had made.

   "Woman? From that far distance?"

Crystina was surprised to see an archer woman who had just released an arrow from hundreds of meters away. Dunk and Kynel were speechless when they realized what had just happened.

   "Ah, he is an Elite Knight archer who attacked me a while ago. If it's not wrong Xavier called him Arcus."

Reus' expression became more serious, he played the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand for a moment before forming the horses.

   "True, his name is Arcus but I'm the one who will kill you."

At the same time Reus heard the voice of a man not far from him. He suddenly took one step back but Reus had not had time to react, a figure suddenly appeared beside his left swinging the sword vertically towards him.

   "Damn it!"

In a makeshift position Reus swung his sword to fend off the man's attack while turning his body. Reus' attack managed to make the man's sword bounce but at the same time Reus' current body position does not allow to move freely.

   "Because of you."

   "Nummer!"

Reus groaned loudly in so much pain, there was also a burning feeling in his upper arm wound like Xavier's previous attack. His attention was distracted by the white arrow that stuck on the ground not far from him.

   "Light elemental attack?"

   "Right, most Elite Knights like us learn skills with Light elements to combat dark creatures like you."

After speaking the man raised his sword back this time up high intending to swing his sword splitting Reus in half but before that happened, Crystina first confronted him using a large sword.

Crystina who was suddenly behind Reus then swung the Great Grega, unfortunately the attack was successfully avoided by the man with just a few simple steps back.

   "Oh, you really got help from someone else turned out."

The man smiled faintly in response to Crystina's attack.

   "Reus, are you okay?"

   "Yes, it only took me a while until my arm regenerated. No problem."

Reus immediately consumed the HP Potion to restore his lost HP while regenerating his broken arm just now. Healing an injury as severe as that in an instant was not due to mere system assistance, but to do so the remaining players HP would be taken as that super regeneration payoff.

Crystina advanced on the man using her greatsword but every attack if it was not avoided was only held back by the shield on her left hand.

As Crystina protected herself, Reus picked up the Dragon Slayer Sword on her severed arm using his left hand. At the same time Reus pulled his head back avoiding the arrow shot from afar.

   "Dunk, Kynel, make safe protection for you! We'll handle this!"

After saying so Reus growled a little and ran towards the long-range archer woman while carrying the Dragon Slayer Sword in his left hand. Slowly Reus' right arm began to grow complete with damage to the Dragon Scale Cloak.

The female archer did not wait for Reus to run any further, he re-released the arrow. Reus who has activated Adrenaline Mode can see a little arrow that is traveling at high speed, he can avoid it quite easily without the need to stop the run.

The female archer was a little overwhelmed as she watched Reus being able to dodge his shot. He hurriedly picked up another arrow and pulled his bow but just as he started aiming, Reus disappeared from his sight.

   "Where is he?"

The woman's eyes swept through the surroundings looking for Reus but could not find him, until she realized that a shadow was not far in front of her that was getting closer and closer. He rested his chin with his bow raised.

The woman had difficulty aiming because the sun was right behind Reus who was floating in the air. He clenched his own teeth and opened fire.

   "Heh, that's a freaking shot."

Reus gave a small smile seeing an arrow hurtling rapidly towards him. He deployed Telekinesis to pull himself down to fall faster, successfully surprising the female archer.

The moment his foot touched the ground, Reus immediately shot out using Sprint closing the distance between the two. In an instant Reus was only a few meters in front of the female archer.

Before the female archer could draw her bow and arrow, Reus raised his left hand first.

   "Telekinesis!"

Reus threw the archer back, at the same time the archer woman released another arrow, unfortunately Reus was able to avoid it thanks to the Adrenaline Mode assisted Laplace Forecast which can read predictions of any movement a few seconds ahead.

Reus then pulled the female archer's body underground after throwing her bow the other way with Telekinesis first. He felt that this woman was extremely dangerous when holding a bow.

The woman groaned for a moment and tried to reach her bow which was quite far away but Reus came and immediately stepped on her hand. The woman was aghast before she looked at Reus' face.

   "You're losing."

Reus smiled slightly as he said so.
