   "Whatdidyou say? He's not Xavier?"

Crystina's eyes widened quite wide when Reus declared the man he had just defeated was not Xavier, the strongest person in the Lavore Kingdom.

   "No, chief Crystina. He was only an Elite Knight. Most Elite Knights are indeed as strong as him."

Crystina now no longer spoke when she found out that most Elite Knights were around 280s level like her opponent just a moment ago. There were terrified expressions on Crystina's face now, Dunk and Kynel were not much different either.

Reus only smiled wryly at the reaction of the three, no wonder considering that a level 200 opponent alone was so difficult especially above 250.

Crystina herself did not mind if she fought Xavier who was said to be level 330 in one-on-one combat, but it was different if the Elite Knights interfered in their fight.

   "Chairman take it easy, that's what I'm here for."

Reus can read Crystina's anxiety and try to win it by explaining that the Great Grega held by Crystina is a weapon belonging to one of the Elite Knights of level 250.

   "You fought a level 250 Elite Knight by yourself?"

   "That's right, I also had time to fight Xavier but I couldn't give my best resistance from being too shocked."

Reus sighed as he explained Xavier's abilities once again to Crystina, hoping that this woman would actually be able to do something to the unnatural-powered middle-aged man.

As no enemies arrived, Reus sat on the ground while making more Potions. Both Reus, Crystina, and Kynel and Dunk needed countless Potions to deal with countless opponents.

While making Potion Reus also check the news of Ramsey and Ikshan who are undergoing a difficult mission, which is to seize Blackstar from the royal treasure room, one of the rooms that are now guarded so tightly by the kingdom.

   "Reus, is this how you make potions? Not wearing a stove or taking time? Just activate the skill and everything will be finished instantly?"

   "Yes, chief Crystina. This is my secret skill and please be advised, the secret of the merchant must always be the secret of the merchant."

Reus flashed a meaningful smile to Crystina as the woman barely blinked at the process of making Reus' Potion. It never crossed his mind even once that making Potions could be this fast.

Crystina becomes misbehaved when Reus finds out what she means. He admits the temptation is there but he is not so stupid as to force Reus to admit it, especially for people who have slaughtered tens to hundreds of soldiers who blocked his path indiscriminately.

Making hundreds of Potions should take hours to days but with his special skill gained through accident, Reus was able to complete nearly a thousand Potions in approximately 10 minutes.

He distributed the Potion to Crystina, Kynel, and Dunk, leaving the three wide-eyed. Among them, Crystina was the most surprised.

   "Are you sure you're giving us for free?"

   "No problem, I'm sure you need him more in the next wave of fighting."

Reus' statement invites astonishment from the three but it doesn't take long, they understand Reus' intent. From the entrance, a large number of fully equipped troops mounted on horses accompanied by the royal flag as if they were heading to the battlefield.

In the front row is a middle-aged man wearing all-white armor, complete with a sword and white shield. Also fluttered a golden white robe on his shoulders up to his back.

Crystina and the others spontaneously gulped seeing the number of troops that rivaled the Legion's main army in the war.

   "Chairman Crystina, the middle-aged man in the vanguard that was Xavier. Be careful with his Series Skill, it's really strong."

Reus was not too surprised at the arrival of this large army, he had expected from the beginning that there was a possibility that Lavore Kingdom would exert all its strength to finish itself off.

With his strength and abilities that were at once an Immortal Being, Reus was an extremely dangerous existence in the eyes of the nobles and kings of Lavore Kingdom. He would not be surprised if he intended to be captured and put to death using the Immortal Slayer.

The middle-aged man in the vanguard ordered the troops behind him to stop before advancing single-handedly towards Reus' group.

Crystina and the others were on standby when Xavier stepped towards them but before that, Reus came forward and gestured for Crystina, Kynel, and Dunk not to attack first. The three were a little astonished but did not fight back.

   "You really did get back up, little wedge."

   "Hey, uncle Xavier. Is your wound okay?"

   "Oh, thanks to you, if it wasn't for the high-level Potion that the king gave me then I'd have been dead a long time ago."

   "really? Then I'm glad you liked my last gift."

Xavier used to sing her trademark gentle smile, while Reus also gave her best smile now. Reus already knew that smile was just a disguise, he could feel the hateful killing intent on him.

Xavier drew his sword inside the shield before forming the horses. His trademark smile disappeared from his face, now turning into a look of eyes filled with anger.

   "If not for the king wanting to capture and execute you using the Immortal Slayer, I would have killed you hundreds of times first."

Reus laughed sarcastically for a moment in response to Xavier's words as he drew the sword and joined in forming the horses.

   "You sure you can catch me without killing me?"

   "Of course, our abilities were different the last time we fought. Even if I am now a little weakened thanks to the injuries you gave me, I heard that Immortal Being like you will become weaker after death. Nothing has changed."

Xavier smiled back at Reus while the expression of the silver-haired young man did not change.

   "We'll see if it happens to me or not."

After saying so Reus disappeared from Xavier's sight, leaving the middle-aged man wide-eyed. A few seconds later, Reus appeared in front of Xavier. The two are separated by only a few meters.

Xavier is surprised to find Reus suddenly in front of him. Spontaneous alone Xavier raised the shield to withstand the attack.

   "Dragon Power! Dragon Spirits! Dragon Smite's! Black Cloud's!"

Exerting four skills at once, Reus used all his power swinging the Dragon Slayer Sword in six consecutive slashes as quickly as possible to hit Xavier's shield.

Thanks to the six attacks Xavier could not maintain his shield position which is now slightly knocked up but still in his grasp. He glared fiercely feeling disbelief Reus was the same person as the one who gave him a great wound in the stomach a few days ago.

   "Open! Hollow Swords! Dragon Fang!"

Reus could see that there was a wide gap in Xavier after his shield was blown away. Before the gap closed Reus put together the five swords that are now in the left hand, then threw it firmly on Xavier's large body.

Blaar!!
