Orbis Online
95. Ikshan

   "What the fuck?"

Reus frowned when he saw the video footage of him fighting with three Knights in the Southern Horen Leg city previously circulated widely at the Orbis Forum. Indeed the video is so blurred that the recorded figure is difficult to recognize his face, but Reus knows clearly that it is him.

He can also see comments from Orbis Online players who mostly respond positively, but not a few who give negative responses even without strong evidence of his comments. Reus can understand people like this.

   "Don't Ninho secretly record my fight yesterday? That's probably high."

Muttering that Reus scratched his head and looked back at the Ultra-Equip-class Equip giving Arshwind.

Indeed Dragon Slayer Sword is the best sword Equip that he has, but using it continuously will make it appear striking even though the sword itself does not have an appearance that is so eye-catching.

His strength that was too great was so eye-catching that it was impossible for him to continuously wear this monstrous sword.

After all if any player knew about the strength of this sword, it would, they will try to take it from the hands of Reus or at least his identity will be revealed and become increasingly famous for being able to use high-class Equip regardless of the level requirements.

After reading the news at Orbis Forum, Reus displayed the various Items he obtained from the guards as well as the four Knights he defeated before as well as hundreds of HP Potion I and HP Potion II in his digital store.

The Equip that Reus got was actually quite good for his current level, only that he already had a high-level Equip range from Arshwind so there was nothing so good in his eyes right now, moreover, his Special-Class Freelancer class is able to make himself use the entire Equip regardless of the level requirements.

Speaking of Equip, the amount of Durability Dragon Slayer Sword that Reus used yesterday to fight the Southern Horen Leg Knights plummeted tremendously. Why could that be?

At his present level Reus can indeed wear the sword unhindered thanks to the Special-Class he receives, but his Vit status simply could not match the strength of the Dragon Slayer Sword which resulted in his Dur status declining drastically.

Dur status or Durability owned by Equip is actually the amount of HP from the Equip, while its durability depends on the defense of its users. The greater the Vit status of the user, the longer the Dur status on an Equip will decrease.

This certainly makes the Durability of Dragon Slayer Sword decreases greatly because the status of Reus' Vit still cannot be aligned with the level that should be achieved to use the sword.

   "More times I have to be careful about this matter."

Reus scratched his itchy head noticing his fatal mistake that could make the Dragon Slayer Sword disintegrate quickly. That sword was his best sword, of course Reus did not want to destroy it too quickly.

After finishing his affairs at the Orbis Forum, he turned his attention back to the road.

It has been about an hour since Reus exited the gate of the South Horen Foot, but his journey to reach the Horen tunnel is still about an hour away by foot.

If Reus had been riding a horse, he should have gotten there. Unfortunately thanks to riding a horse for a long time made his butt refuse to occupy the saddle of the horse.

As he continued to walk down the dirt road, Reus' eyes found a half-masked figure and looked like a Mage class but did not hold a wand like Mirage. The figure was sitting on a tree branch while eating the fruit in his hand.

Reus's steps stopped when he saw the sight. In the real world this scene is very rare for those who live in urban areas so he is a little pensive to feel nostalgia in his childhood while looking at the figure.

   'The neighbor next to the house of the uncle is already fruitful or not, huh?'

Without realizing a few seconds passed, Reus only realized that the figure he had been looking at since then also noticed him, whether from when. He was surprised, but Reus immediately continued his journey as quickly as possible while looking down in shame.

Seeing that Reus grabbed the hilt of Blackstar that was on his back realizing the possibility of danger.

   "Wait a minute!"

The figure immediately raised both hands when it saw Reus' reaction to draw the sword and might just attack him. Reus held his hand still on Blackstar's handle but did not relax his vigilance. It was not impossible for this person to intend to harm him.

   "Sorry to have surprised you, I really didn't mean it."

With a fairly clear expression that could be seen from outside his mask, the figure asked Reus not to attack him suddenly. After a while of talking, Reus slightly let go of his suspicions.

Indeed, before Reus did not pay much attention to the appearance of this figure, but now Reus only realized there was something strange about this person.

   'With the tightly-covered black shirt in the sun, doesn't this person feel sultry?'

Overall, this figure was dressed in black with a robe and hood that was also the same color, but from what was seen he did not feel hot or anything like that. It made Reus a little curious.

   "I'm Ikshan. I'm on my way to Lavore Kingdom."

Reus raised his eyebrows upon hearing Ikshan's purpose.

Lavore Kingdom was one of the kingdoms he had to pass through to reach Bailendra Kingdom, located just north of the Welsh Kingdom and side by side with Gavore Kingdom. This kingdom is also known as the Land of Night Festivals because many festivals do not let visitors rest at night every year.

Actually Lavore Kingdom is the result of a fragment of Gavore Kingdom which is right to the west because of the civil war hundreds of years ago, therefore also the relationship between the two kingdoms is quite bad, the two kingdoms are also quite bad, even the people insult each other.

Reus knew little about the history of these two kingdoms, only he had never seen firsthand what the Land of the Night Festival he would pass on his way to Bailendra Kingdom.

Reus also introduced himself to Ikshan, but was stopped because Ikshan was also a player. When he heard this, Reus was confused because he did not see the player's cursor over his head.

   "Ah, it's because of the mask effect. You don't know that just by wearing a mask our identity as players will be covered including the cursor of the player?"

   "I don't know it at all."

Knowing that from Ikshan made him curse inwardly, why he did not use the Skeleton Mask to disguise his identity as a player when fighting three Knights in the Southern Horen Leg city before. Because of that, he is also known as a player in a warm video at the Orbis Forum.

If only he knew this fact from the beginning then he would not need to prepare various ways to avoid Legion invitations or pursue other Orbis Online players later.

In the end Reus took the Skeleton Mask that was in his Inventory and immediately put it on following Ikshan.
