Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

"do you understand?"

Hull's voice came from behind, and his tone was full of pride as if he was already sitting on the throne of victory.

Reinhardt gritted his teeth in regret.

"...[Thunder Dragon Bird] has the ability to move to a certain point within a hundred meters at an extremely fast speed. This speed will continue until the entire continuous movement stops. And your [Magnetic Thunder] should be a similar ability, right?"

“A little different, but roughly similar”

"what is the difference?"

Even in the midst of the battle, Reinhardt couldn't help but wonder what the other man's wand was capable of.

After fighting for hundreds of moves, he still didn't understand his opponent, and couldn't even analyze the ability of the opponent's magic wand.

"[Magnetic Thunder] can inject two kinds of magic into the orb at the tip. For the sake of convenience, we will distinguish these two kinds of magic as [Yin] and [Yang]."

"……Then what?"

"This Yin and Yang magic can mark different locations. The location of my duel with you is designated by me, so I have made a lot of marks on this battlefield in advance."

"..."

It turns out that everything is under his control. This is the truth behind his one-on-one proposal.

As expected, he had made preparations in advance and was just waiting for me to enter the battlefield he had set.

However, for some reason, Reinhardt did not feel unpleasant as if he was being plotted against.

Especially after listening to what Commander Needle said, Reinhardt had vaguely felt the unfathomable strength of Hull, and expected that he would definitely make similar arrangements in advance.

"The two kinds of magic, Yin and Yang, have the property of attracting each other. And through [Magnetic Thunder], I can move at high speed between the Yin and Yang marked locations."

"It sounds...really complicated."

"Yes, the limitation is very great. On the other hand, if there were not so many inconveniences, it would not be possible to reach such a fast speed. This is already the limit of the grade 9 gem.

"Varied...!"

When Reinhardt heard the grade of the [Magnetic Mine], his long-held arrogance collapsed in an instant.

That kind of low-level garbage orb could actually stand invincible against my [Thunder Dragon Bird]...

"Helheim. You just said that I'm too slow, right? To be more specific, you mean that my thinking speed and spellcasting speed are not as fast as yours, right?"

"As expected of General Raiden, you are absolutely right."

"..."

"After you reach the designated location, you have about 0.3 seconds to think and 0.3 seconds to cast the spell, General Reinhardt. This is what I confirmed during our fight.

However, my thinking speed and casting speed combined only take 0.04 seconds. Since the ability of [Magnetic Thunder] is very simple, it only controls the Yin and Yang magic powers, and all I did was repeat the same action, so it was very easy for me to avoid your attack. "

"..."

After hearing this answer, Reinhardt felt the distance between himself and Hull. It was not the combat power or the attributes of the wand, but the difference as biological beings.

“No matter how proud you are of the speed of the [Thunder Dragon Bird], it is just a tool in your hand. As a user, my control over the [Magnetic Thunder] in my hand has an error of only about one ten-thousandth of a second.

Even though the speed difference between me and [[Thunder Dragon Bird]] is about 10 times, in this speed competition measured in seconds, due to the difference of about 0.6 seconds between your thinking speed and casting speed, the speed of [Magnetic Thunder] in my hand is still faster. "

"...I want to ask you a question. Why can your thinking reach such an inhuman level?"

"Of course it's training. Considering different strategies for dealing with different imaginary enemies and training them is a natural preparation before a war."

"I see……"

Reinhardt did not indulge in the power of [Thunder Dragon Bird] and stop making progress, but it was also a fact that he still had the confidence that he would never lose to anyone in a fair and direct confrontation.

But this man named Hel-Helheim was different.

It seems that they treat the appearance of powerful enemies as a daily routine and are always preparing for the possible appearance of powerful enemies.

Take all situations into consideration in advance, hone your own strength as a magician, and carry out preparations before the battle to the end.

On this point, he is at completely different extremes from Reinhardt.

"It seems...you are not going to admit defeat yet?"

"...That's right."

Reinhardt put the [Thunder Dragon Bird Slayer] back into the scabbard at his waist, revealing only a thin line of the blade.

He lowered his body and grasped the hilt of the knife with his right hand.

That is the starting move of the special attack [Thunder Dragon Bird].

Reinhardt used the lightning ability of [Thunder Dragon Bird] to the maximum, and his body was covered with purple lightning.

Except for retaining visual enhancement, all other abilities are discarded, and all speed is converted into pure destructive power.

"I haven't used this trick for a long time..."

Reinhardt, who always fights with the swiftness of lightning, rarely fully unleashes the true lightning power of [Thunder Dragon Bird].

It can instantly transform into a thousand swords and slash out like a flying dragon bird, and was named [Secret Technique: Thousand Dragon Birds] by Reinhardt.

Even Reinhardt could not withstand the power of this move. It was the real deal, the ultimate secret in the true sense of the word.

The special skill that was originally intended to be used on Mi Hill now has to be used in advance.

Helheim, this man is indeed qualified to see this move in advance.

"I see. Are you planning to attack in this way? General Reinhardt, you really deserve the name of General Thunder. This move may be your only chance to defeat me."

"With the speed of your [Magnetic Mine], you will definitely not be able to escape, especially when I use this move myself."

"Then I have to give it my all..." Hull put away his previous attitude, his eyes became blank, as if he was in a trance.

"If you can survive this move, I will make an exception and spare your life. But if you die, don't regret it. It is your honor to die under this move!"

"…bring it on."

The moment Hull raised his foot, he turned into disappearing smoke.

As if all the previous slowness was a lie, Reinhardt's naked eyes could hardly keep up with Hull's movements, and all he could see was a flying afterimage.

Relying on the visual enhancement brought by [Secret Technique: Thousand Dragon Birds], relying on the vision that is only 100/1 of the original speed state.

Reinhardt barely caught the moment when Hull appeared.

"right here!"

[Secret Technique: Thousand Dragon Birds] erupted on the battlefield, and endless purple sword energy turned the entire battlefield into a pool of thunder.

The earth was torn apart and riddled with holes, and the lightning waves made it impossible for the soldiers on both sides to open their eyes a hundred meters away.

For a moment...

Even if it's only for a moment, as long as the sword wave can catch up with the moment when Hull stops, it will be able to tear him into pieces.

Hull's afterimage was jumping in the thunder pool, so fast that it seemed as if it had created countless strange shadows.

If you just go a little faster... you will definitely be able to...

The moment the lightning disappeared, Reinhardt roared and used [Secret Technique: Thousand Dragon Birds] again. The purple lightning on his body increased further, and the momentum of the sword wave roared out, tearing the ground apart, and countless stones floated in the air.

The purple lightning shattered one after another, but it was always only an inch away from Hull's real body.

Just a little faster...even for a moment...and it will be...!

After the second slash, Reinhardt's body was covered with burn wounds from the backlash of lightning.

But he still roared and used [Secret Technique: Thousand Dragon Birds] again, and the sword wave burst out again. This attack was unprecedented!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, fire filled the heavens, and purple lightning scorched the earth.

Even the whole sky was dimmed.

Purple sword shadow and black figure, Reinhardt no longer chases Hel himself, he wants to use [Thousand Dragon Bird] to clear the entire battlefield.

The manic knives and violent thunder tear apart everything within sight.

The lightning and thunder seemed to be inexhaustible, until Reinhardt inserted [Thunder Dragon Bird] into the ground, the force that tore the entire space apart gradually subsided.

Reinhardt spat out a pool of blood from his mouth and half-knelt on the ground, his hand still tightly holding [Thunder Dragon Bird].

Purple lightning was flowing, thunder pool was steaming, the air was already misty, and twisted smoke and dust filled the charred earth.

“Haaaa…Haaaa…”

I can't catch up, I can't catch up at all... Even if I evaporate the surrounding air and burn the land, I still can't catch up with Hull's afterimage...

I don't know how many opportunities I have missed. Every time I thought I had caught the other person, I was just so close, but still failed to catch up.

Is there really such a huge gap between him and me?

Rocks flew in the air, and smoke obstructed Reinhardt's vision.

“Um… where… where are you hiding!?”

Reinhardt looked around, his magic power surging. Even though he was seriously injured at this moment, he still refused to admit defeat.

No matter how many times he has to chop off the sword, he is determined to win this victory!

When entering the state of thunder-cutting, the surrounding time and space instantly slow down.

shadow……

At this moment, Reinhardt discovered a shadow on the ground that shouldn't appear here.

What is this...

"Could it be...! How is this possible!?"

Hull was there!

Reinhardt raised his head and looked up. It was one of the huge rocks floating in the air.

Hull was standing upside down, standing on the bottom of a boulder floating in the air.

Although Hull was in a completely upside-down state, a confident smile appeared on his face.

Then, he held another wand in one hand.

"Oops!!"

Without giving him the slightest chance to react, no...

If he were in his prime, he would definitely be able to dodge in time.

After launching [Thousand Dragon Birds] multiple times in succession, Reinhardt's magic power has reached its limit.

My hands and feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Hull raised the magic wand in his hand and waved it. An unprecedented impact force swept through Reinhardt's body, completely crushing him and making him unable to move, embedding him deeply into the ground.

"Ahhh!" Reinhardt used all his strength to try to stand up, but his body seemed to be pressed down by a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and he could only barely raise his head.

At this moment, Hull had already jumped from the boulder to the ground.

He also looked a little disheveled, his clothes were torn in many places, and there were marks of burns on his face.

At this moment, he was walking towards Reinhardt, panting.

"Cough cough cough..." Hull coughed heavily, and then took a deep breath.

"So, the winner has been decided, right?"

Reinhardt was still struggling, and after a long time, he finally gave a bitter smile.

"Well...you win...you monster..."

Hull smiled, walked to General Reinhardt's side, and lay down on the ground, looking up at the clear sky.

It's a wonderful sight.

At the height of the war, the generals of both sides lay on the same ground and looked at the same sky.
