241. The Battle of Dragons and Humans
At its location, Reus can see the Menschrein Kingdom troops have started to move quickly, indicating that in a while the two armies of the two kingdoms will clash. He could also hear the nobles of the army leader starting to order his soldiers.
"You two are ready?"
Reus then turned his attention to his two colleagues who had just completed a light warm-up. They both approached Reus.
"I'm ready whenever you're ready, Reus."
"Let's act! My hands are itching!"
Reus nodded slowly before pulling the two swords from his back. Now Reus has worn all the best Equip he has, including Balmung in the right hand and Blackstar in the left.
"Hey, can you give my message to His Majesty Julius and other nobles?"
Before doing anything else Reus spoke to their bodyguards who were ready to join the other forces. They were a little annoyed to see Reus making the most of their existence in the final moments but they did not mind.
"Tell everyone that we're going straight ahead and make the first strike as big as possible. If you see something blaring ahead in a few minutes, don't be afraid and keep going. That's my style."
The bodyguards tilted their heads wondering why Reus said such an absurd thing, when their current position was the backward line. They did not want to waste much time arguing so just accepted Reus' request.
Hearing this, Reus gave a small smile and took a deep breath without caring for the few guards who were still watching Reus. He had already used Black Form which made his appearance slightly change.
"The Body Clone."
Reus then activated his skill and created clones of up to ten people with 10% each person's strength. Instantly, the Energy Reus parameter touched zero without a comma and at the same time shocked the guards who were still staying.
"You understand what you have to do, right?"
The ten clones of Reus nodded in understanding their original body intent before exerting Psychokinesis to fly and darted towards various directions. Two of them carried Ikshan and Ibane using Psychokinesis.
Reus immediately drank a high level Energy Potion that could recover all of his Energy. After checking his Energy parameters full Reus turned his head towards the still petrified bodyguards not believing what they were seeing.
"Then may luck accompany you in this battle!"
After saying so Reus darted following his clone but in a different direction. He flew towards right in the middle of the opposing army.
It didn't take long for Reus, who was now more skilled at controlling his flying direction, to use Psychokinesis to land in the middle of the enemy forces that reacted similarly to the guards.
"Hmm, it seems that my landing area is pretty good."
Reus looked at the surroundings. Reus realized that he had landed in the middle of an enemy army that numbered at least a hundred thousand people but his expression was not like that of a person in the enemy crowd, he smiled coldly.
"You're human?!"
"of course. Which part of me doesn't look like a human?"
"You're human but helping Bailendra Kingdom fight your own race?! Are you crazy?!"
"If anyone hits a squad of his opponents alone like this, do you think he's still sane?"
Reus's reply drew anger from the other side. They immediately went forward brandishing weapons to Reus.
"Stop this crazy traitor!"
"Let the body be cut down into hundreds of pieces!"
"Don't leave a gap! Attack him at the same time!"
Reus gave a small smile in response to his opponent's call and took the horses preparing to swing Blackstar in his left hand.
"Tell them all, Black Predator."
As soon as Reus activated one of the Bonus Skills from Blackstar, the black sword blade released a pitch-black energy like a hundred meter long snake-shaped black tar.
Without wasting much time Reus immediately slashed his sword commanding the snake-like black energy to soar through the air swiftly and attack every enemy that was around him to the farthest point it could reach.
Reus himself was not just waiting. He also lunged forward while attacking every soldier blocking his path making the range of the Black Predator also increase. As a result in an instant dozens of lives immediately floated so hit by the blade of Balmung or Blackstar.
Ten seconds later, the black energy of the Black Predator slowly dissipates, giving Reus new powers.

Reus checked his status at a glance and he could feel the power flowing throughout his body. A small but cold smile was created on his lips.
"The right timing."
After saying so Reus then stuck Blackstar onto the ground before exerting his strongest skill to complete the series of the deadliest and most expensive skill combination he had ever created.
"Ultimate Skill: Joker Field – Apocalypse Trigger."

"What did you say?! They directly charged into the front line?!"
Julius kicked down the table upon hearing the actions of Reus' group which he had not expected at all.
One of his third bodyguards who reported this was aghast to hear his king exclaiming so loudly. Though Julius always looks calm in any situation but they never thought the king who looks so calm actually screamed when he found out Reus's entourage took the absurd step.
Julius did allow Reus' group to do as they pleased as long as it did not harm Bailendra Kingdom but he never expected them to advance alone to the battlefield before the two armies clashed.
The enemy army numbered at least a hundred thousand and probably still had spare personnel behind the giant number and the group of only three advanced against it? It's like suicide!
He could not believe that the person Aulcrat had judged so highly, the King of Lavore Kingdom had taken such a foolish step.
"Knees.... There's another message from Mr. Reus as well...."
"What's? Say it!"
Julius who was burning with emotion due to the stupid steps of Reus' group involuntarily snapped at the bodyguard.
".... Mr. Reus said if something is jarring don't be afraid and move on. That's the nurse."
Hearing this Julius who had been carried away by emotion now frowned not understanding the meaning of the message. His anger was significantly reduced and replaced by a sense of wonder.
Julius wanted to digest the intent behind Reus' words but before he started to think, a loud explosive sound shook the air as well as the ground where he stood. It surprised everyone who was there.
"What's that?! What just happened?!"
The atmosphere of the strategy tent immediately turned to panic. The nobles who were previously strategizing were now trying to stand up after falling due to the sound of such a huge explosion.
Julius wanted to ask the subordinates as well as the representatives of the three dragon councils about the explosion just now but he had not had the chance to make a sound, immediately Reus' message flashed in his mind. He immediately ran out of the tent and checked with his own eyes.
As soon as Julius exited the tent he found a giant puff of smoke soaring high in the air like a curtain covering their visibility against the opposing forces. The smoke was not just one but there were several similar fumes at different points where the Menschrein Kingdom troops were located.
Julius fell to his knees with his eyes wide open looking at the unbelievable sight.
"For the ancestors of the first dragon king.... That's really how Mr Reus is?"
If the smoke curtain was caused by dozens of high-level magic with a wide range of territory might still be able to understand Julius but, this big thing was caused by a single person? It was beyond all his imagination.
