Orbis Online
251. Battle of Dragon and Man XI

Royce or better known as Black Reaper by most players is one of the strongest players in the ranks of the top Hundred Best Player, Black Reaper Royce.

He is one of the players who are feared by many players because in addition to his strength is very high to reach the ranks of the best Orbis Online players, he said, his appearance is all black and mysterious also not infrequently scares everyone who sees it.

Royce has a Death Collector class, a Special-class that allows it to develop very quickly in major battles such as war between Legions or countries in Orbis Online.

Thanks to the class he also has an unreasonable skill named Deadman Carnaval. This skill is similar to Black Predator but the difference is, Deadman Carnaval can improve Royce status passively when there are dead people within a radius of one kilometer from the user.

This made Royce very confident when fighting on a large scale like the war between Bailendra Kingdom and Menschrein Kingdom that had just begun but, in that war also his flagship weapon was broken by a player who was completely unknown to him.

   "What the fuck?! Is it permissible for a player to have that much power?!"

Currently Royce woke up from his sleep position after a long time continued to be in the Orbis Online.

He swears violently realizing not only that he managed to defeat him when he got a huge additional power from Deadman Carnaval, but also that he had, he also surmised that his opponent was a moment ago the mastermind behind the giant explosion that caused the Menschrein Kingdom to lose 10,000 troops in a single strike.

Royce does not recognize the player either from the skull mask, equipment, skills, or fighting style. As one of the top ranks of the Hundred Best Player Royce also knows one or two information about his classmates but he is not at all aware of any players like Reus.

He had suspected that his opponent's fighting style was a type of 'Run and Gun' who immediately fled or dodged after launching an attack from equipment that seemed light and speed and movement were so agile but when fighting an attack, Royce drew the conclusion.

   "His fighting style is indeed based on speed and agility but his physical strength cannot be underestimated either."

Royce remembers clearly when he first fought against Reus. It was not the power of a normal Swordsman, at least the power of Reus was able to match someone with a heavy weapon of the 500s if not more.

   "Then, the skill and the way he used all his skills were also abnormal."

Royce is aware of how the skills in Orbis Online are slightly different from most RPG games and can be manipulated by various outside factors besides status, but what he saw from his last fight was a real shock to Royce.

He knew about the existence of a skill that could affect other objects without the need to touch it like Telekinesis or gravity magic but the way Reus used the skill to move the body affected by Stun was completely unthinkable to him.

While Royce was still busy evaluating the outcome of the fight someone suddenly called out to him.

   "Boss, are you conscious? We heard you fought with someone on the front lines but lost."

   "Hmm? Thas right. Why are you asking? Did you find any information about that player?"

   "Ehm, I can't class it as information you mean but boss, you need to watch this tape."

   "Recorded?"

Royce looked confused but when he saw the recording in question, Royce's eyes opened wide as if he could not believe his own eyes.

***

   "Hmm, I seem a little overdone."

Ibane rubbed his chin looking at the pitiful sight before him. Various bodies and craters from certain explosions filled his vision as if a disaster had come and gone just leaving the scene.

A disaster that is not entirely wrong when viewed from the Menschrein Kingdom.

   "The monster!"

   "No! I don't want to die yet! I still want to live!"

   "Bailendra Kingdom managed to bring this much help? Menschrein Kingdom is over...."

Such was the reaction of most Menschrein Kingdom soldiers when they saw Ibane in action.

Ibane is a level 260s player with the Dragonic Swordcaster class, a Special-class category class that makes Ibane able to use sword and magic at once in combat.

Ifane's physical strength is still statistically inferior to Str Reus who is still level 230s, but as a category of Swordmage the power of a Dragonic Swordcaster lies in its magic.

He could exert dozens to dozens of magic at once sharpening the Menschrein Kingdom's army like a target board. The magic he used could not be held back more than three times by even a shield-specialized warrior.

   "But, those who still survive after being exposed to such a rain of magic are great as well."

   "Well, then let's see if they can survive this one or not."

Ibane smiled coldly before raising his left arm and calling Bahamut. Instantly, the dwarf form of the White Dragon King appeared on the Draconian's arm.

   "You know what I'm thinking, right?"

   "[I understand.]"

Bahamut breathed for a moment. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide.

   "[Dragon Magic: Fire Dragon Breath!]"

A magic circle is created in front of the muzzle of Bahamut and from the magic circle comes a torrent of dahysat fire that is able to scorch the remains of Menschrein Kingdom soldiers both surviving and lifeless.

   "Oh, your dragon breath is still as horrible as ever."

   "[We've been together for a few months and you're still surprised by this level of dragon breath?]"

   "Well, I mean.... I've never seen your strength in a direct battle like this."

   "[Hmph, they are too weak. You called and I fulfilled my contract, right? Then I'll be back.]"

After saying so Bahamut disappeared along with the white flames as if it had never been there.

Ibane scratched the cheek feeling confused as to who was the real employer between their relationships but he understood the contract—Cooldown skill that can call Bahamut once every hour.

   "Hey, why is the dragon king acting this way? He's like a little kid."

Ibane shook his head feeling strange to see the dragon king who was so adored and worshiped by the residents of Bailendra Kingdom is very far from the seven sacred figures.

While Ibane was still questioning the attitude of the White Dragon King, a knife quickly shot towards his face. He casually swung the sword and brushed off the knife.

Ibane actually wanted to find the source of the attack just now but it didn't seem like he needed to search.

   "Oh, it's appropriate that the attack just now felt light and weak. You guys made use of the attack as bait and surrounded me quickly, huh. Fascinating."

Ibane finds herself besieged by a group of similarly dressed men. They are all black and have a white crescent logo as the emblem on each of their clothes.

   "The Black Scythe Brotherhood's good name is not a mere display."

The words of Ibane were not ignored by the group and they immediately launched dozens of long-range and medium-range magic attacks towards Ibane. The Draconian figure smiled coldly before plucking his finger.

   "You guys are too slow for surprise attacks! The Magic Dispel Field!"

A huge magic circle encompassing the black-clothed group appeared on the ground and obliterated the entire magic directed at him, shocking all his opponents. They then chose to attack at close range.

Ibane cast a magic on his sword which now emitted a golden white radiance, then exerted some Buff magic on himself, and finally twisted his body while swinging his sword slashing through the air.

   "Sky Ruler Sword Art Series: Second Form – Horizon Circlet!"

In an instant all the enemies that were about five meters apart were split into two halves. It shocked the remaining black-clothed figure and they immediately decided to run away after seeing their friend killed so easily.

   "You running? Okay, just try to get away from this one!"

Ibane raised his left hand forward and cast a spell.

   "The sky is the quietest and most tumultuous place between the two worlds. The battle of heaven and earth is over. Punish all who oppose you, Emperor Sky!"

The magic circle was created on the palm of the Ibane before it let out a fierce wind vortex shaped like a 10 meter long dragon. The vortex of wind in the form of a dragon snake then shot towards the black-clothed figure who had surrounded Ibane one by one.

All who blocked his path were instantly crushed and torn apart by the magic of Ibane regardless of whether it was an inanimate object or a living thing.
