CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 653: HE WAS MEANT TO BE THE STRONGEST

To be frank, the "Magic Power" of these two individuals was most likely accumulated to a very high potential after advancing to the S stage.

However, for adventurers who are not Magic Guides, reaching the same stage in "Magic Power" is by no means easy.

Reiger is clearly a swordsman with astonishing sword skills, evidently different from a Magic Guide, not one who specializes in "Magic Power", so logically it should be difficult for him to wield such high-level magic firepower.

Yet he achieved it, gaining magical prowess comparable to the strongest Magic Guide in the city.

In terms of swordsmanship, he can rival the strongest female swordsman in the city, perhaps even surpassing her.

In magic, he matches the strongest Magic Guide of the city, achieving this even under circumstances of being a lower level.

Regarding attributes, having just reached Lv.5 not long ago, he can already compare to a Lv.6.

"Is this the strongest Magic Swordsman in the city...?"

Asafi finally understood why this title bestowed upon Reiger.

In today’s Orario, although the whispers of Reiger Brillhaut being the strongest Magic Swordsman in the city are prevalent, there are still a significant number of people doubting it.

It’s understandable, with the black and white knights of the Freyja Clan holding sway, the two fiercest Magic Swordsmen are of higher rank than Reiger, how could they possibly be lesser than a newcomer just ascended to Lv.5 first-class adventurer?

Upholding such a view, many express opposition, skepticism, and do not recognize Reiger’s title.

Asafi also had doubts before, thinking it unlikely for a Magic Swordsman who just advanced to Lv.5 to surpass the black and white knights who are Lv.6, becoming the strongest in the city.

But now, Asafi believes.

Or rather, she has no choice but to believe.

Just based on Reiger’s displayed sword skills, the power of his magic, his calm demeanor during peril, and his ability to effortlessly chant in parallel amidst the onslaught of a monster horde, Asafi believes this person certainly deserves the title of the strongest Magic Swordsman in the city.

At least, the black and white knights of the Freyja Clan surely cannot compare.

Their sword skills cannot surpass Reiger’s.

Their magic cannot be more powerful than Reiger’s.

Their parallel chanting cannot be more proficient than Reiger’s.

Their only advantage over Reiger is their level, yet even this gap is bridged by Reiger’s ability to challenge across levels.

Such an all-round victory, how can he not be the strongest?

He ought to be the strongest.

...

Who knows how long had passed before the roars of numerous monsters echoing within the labyrinth faded away.

The remains turned to dust covering the dilapidated roads, submerging the entire path.

Magic stones shimmered with crystal light, scattered in the dust, resembling gems buried in the earth, adding a bit of beauty to this terrifying scene.

"Ka..."

Finishing the battle, Reiger and Ais simultaneously sheathed their swords, their actions in perfect harmony, as if mirroring each other, giving a sense of being a pair.

"Is everyone okay?"

Returning together with the silent Ais, Reiger, while receiving the respectful gazes of the members of the Hermes Clan, approached Asafi and asked her.

"...I’m fine."

Asafi responded after a moment of silence, then said something as if sighing.

"I don’t think the title [Deceptive Swordsmen] suits you."

This was Asafi’s most genuine thought.

Kidding, with such miraculous swordsmanship, extraordinary magical prowess, and incredible attributes, how could they align with the somewhat dark and ominous title [Deceptive Swordsmen]?

The surrounding members of the Hermes Clan unanimously nodded in agreement.

No matter who hears the title [Deceptive Swordsmen], they would instinctively assume Reiger is a gloomy swordsman, the type who likes to take enemies by surprise, maybe even akin to an assassin lurking in the shadows.

This led many to analyze Reiger’s fighting style based on this.

Especially those clans at odds with the Loki Clan, they had long treated Reiger as an imaginary enemy and devised counter-strategies.

Facing such people, the members of the Hermes Clan only wished to say, if they really analyzed Reiger’s fighting style based on his title and developed tactics to counter him, they would find themselves in a dire situation.

Reiger’s title is indeed too deceptive.

This has a significant impact on those who have not yet encountered him but might.

At least, the people of the Hermes Clan believe that if they knew from the beginning that Reiger was such a valiant Magic Swordsman, they would not have rashly drawn their weapons in the tavern.

Wouldn’t it be a gruesome way to perish if a conflict accidentally arose?

Thinking of this, quite a few wish to complain to the gods and the guild who came up with such titles.

In contrast, Reiger shook his head with a smile.

"That was just a product of my Family Head’s bit of mischief, I don’t mind it, so I let her be."

Upon hearing this, Asafi sincerely proposed.

"I will inform Lord Hermes to change your title at the next meeting of the gods."

Obviously, Asafi also recalled the incident in the tavern, feeling a bit apprehensive.

"The next meeting of the gods, huh?" Reiger couldn’t help but smile and said, "It seems it’s quite soon, isn’t it?"
