Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Reinhardt activated [Thunder Dragon Bird], and his body instantly turned into purple lightning and moved to Hull's side at high speed.

Just when he was about to chop off the opponent's head, relying on the power of [Magnetic Thunder], Hull's body flashed by and appeared not far away.

The attack obviously missed.

But Reinhardt's mouth curled up, his expression calm, he was sure that he would win the duel in the end.

Because...Hull's speed is too slow.

The other party claimed that the magic wand in his hand was only grade 10, but judging from its actual use, it was most likely a lie.

Grade 7 or grade 6... No, considering that Hull was able to overpower two legion commanders at the same time, the wand should be weaker, probably around grade 8.

From the property point of view, [Magnetic Thunder] and [Thunder Dragon Bird] are both magic wands with thunder attribute.

However, its speed is only one tenth of that of [Kill the Thunder Dragon Bird], which is really too slow.

The ability of [Thunder Dragon Bird Slaying] does not just allow the user's speed to reach the level of lightning.

Most importantly, it also provides users with the ability to withstand such incredible speeds.

In other words, after entering the super-speed state, Reinhardt's vision, thinking, and body can all be enhanced.

The most intuitive feeling is that the world itself has become a slow-moving world where only Reinhard can move freely.

There are only two shortcomings. One is the attack range, which is only a hundred meters in radius. The other is that once the direction of action is determined, it is impossible to stop halfway, nor can the trajectory of the action be changed.

Judging from the result of this missed attack, Hull's reaction was faster after the copper coin fell to the ground.

Maybe it was predicted in advance?

Or is it that his reaction speed is at least ten times faster than mine?

Otherwise it would be impossible to dodge.

Hard to say.

Just a successful dodge doesn't prove anything, as long as the next attack takes off Hull's head.

"..."

But what is the reason for the other party's confidence?

Judging from Hull's expression, he must have anticipated this huge gap in strength. Where does he plan to find a chance of winning?

Helheim, from the first meeting, gave people the impression of a strategist, and it is not ruled out that he had set up a trap magic in advance.

Or is there some other conspiracy?

The moment Reinhardt used [Thunder Dragon Bird] to move to the designated position at high speed, he immediately attacked again in the direction where Hull appeared.

The interval between the two was less than 1 second. From the perspective of others, they could only see Reinhardt disappear again the moment he appeared.

"..."

but.

The moment the Thunder Dragon Bird fell towards Hel's neck again, Reinhardt noticed something strange.

Hull disappeared from the spot again, as if he had teleported.

Looking around, Hull's figure had appeared on the other side again.

Why? Why on earth!

In terms of speed, [Thunder Dragon Bird] was clearly at an overwhelming advantage, so how on earth was he able to escape twice in a row!

In Reinhardt's sight, Hull in the slow-paced world was still moving in slow motion, but he was able to dodge just in time at the moment when the [Thunder Dragon Bird] fell.

In fact, every time Reinhardt could clearly see the trajectory of his movement and would never lose the target.

After Reinhardt's attack missed, he immediately activated [Thunder Dragon Bird] again and rushed to Hull's side. He didn't believe that the other party was really lucky enough to dodge three times in a row!

But the third attack still didn't work.

Hull moved to another location almost at the same time.

"How can this be……"

There was nothing at the place where [Kill the Thunder Dragon Bird] fell.

Reinhardt glanced at Hull and saw him moving diagonally ten meters behind him.

The speed is still as slow, but [Thunder Dragon Bird] cannot change the direction of movement in the middle.

Unless the ability of [Kill the Thunder Dragon Bird] is activated again.

As if he had anticipated Reinhard's impatience, a smile slowly appeared on Hull's face.

"whispering sound…"

This is a provocation. Don't fall for his trick!

Reinhardt kept repeating this sentence to himself, then activated [Thunder Dragon Bird] and flashed away.

Reinhardt moved without any order in the slow-moving world, just to closely monitor Hull's movements at this extremely fast speed.

The opponent's movements were still so slow, but every time Reinhardt stopped, Hull's movements would stop immediately.

It seemed that he would only take further action the moment Reinhardt activated [Thunder Dragon Bird].

Now, Reinhardt stood in the same place, and Hull stood not far away, motionless.

Instantly, Reinhardt smiled.

Just like [Thunder Dragon Bird], [Magnetic Thunder] cannot maintain its speed indefinitely.

As long as you can capture the moment when the opponent stops, you win.

The rest is the same as usual, just use [Thunder Dragon Bird] to cut off the opponent's head.

"ended."

Reinhardt entered into a state of rapid speed again. After several random moves, he took advantage of the moment when Hull stopped, activated [Thunder Dragon Bird] and ran towards Hull.

“…why…!”

As Reinhardt was moving, he once again watched as Hel slowly moved away from the [Thunder Dragon Bird] in his hand, and he couldn't help but shout.

Gone again! This time, Reinhardt didn't even see where Hull disappeared to.

Impossible...Absolutely impossible!

Did I misjudge the speed of the [magnetic mine]?

No, [Thunder Dragon Bird Slayer] uses an inscribed item of grade 4 gem.

How could an imperial lieutenant happen to take out a thunder-attribute magic wand that could surpass the speed of the [Thunder Dragon Bird]!

Hull's movement speed made Reinhardt feel slow. Even without activating [Thunder Dragon Bird], he could still capture Hull's movement trajectory with the dynamic vision honed by [Thunder Dragon Bird].

As long as I seize the moment when he stops and rush over with the incredible speed of [Kill the Thunder Dragon Bird], I should win this speed competition.

But why?! What happened?

After watching Hull dodge once again, just as Reinhardt wanted to look around to find Hull's trace, he suddenly felt a breath coming from behind him.

"Don't you understand yet?"

The voice echoed in a low voice, causing the hairs on Reinhardt's back to stand on end.

Reinhardt instantly activated [Thunder Dragon Bird Killing] and slashed behind him at high speed.

However, there was still no sign of Hull there, so he moved to another place again.

Reinhardt no longer knew what was going on.

The only thing he understood was that his back was indeed empty at the moment when Hull grabbed it.

Exposing his defenseless back to the enemy, that is, if Hull wanted to kill him, it would be an opportunity to kill Reinhardt.

Already lost...

I was completely led by the other party, and they even humiliated me in this way!

Reinhardt would never admit such a humiliating defeat.

He kept saying that he wanted to win by speed, and he wanted to use speed that was superior to [Killing the Thunder Dragon Bird], which made me admit defeat sincerely.

These are all lies. That guy must have used some other despicable means.

Reinhardt kept telling himself this in his heart and chose to continue fighting.

He must let that guy know the price of humiliating himself!

Afterwards, Reinhardt used [Thunder Dragon Bird Killing] again and again.

In less than half a minute, he had already made hundreds of attacks using [Kill the Thunder Dragon Bird].

The ground was covered with charred tracks left by lightning, as if invisible demons were fighting each other, causing the soldiers on both sides to sweat profusely.

No one would try to get close.

The most worried of all was Landbrough.

He had never seen such a scene before. General Lei Dian, whom he had served for many years, always ended the battle in an instant and then returned to the camp in a leisurely manner, leaving the aftermath to him.

Reinhardt had never been involved in such a tough battle before.

After hundreds of attacks, Hull was not caught once.

“Haaaa…Haaaa…” Reinhardt panted: “Why…Why on earth?!”

Reinhardt paused.

"Why don't you understand yet? Because you are too slow."

Hull's voice came from behind.

Once again, it was impossible to tell from the sound how far away they were, but Reinhardt was indeed caught in the moment of emptiness on his back again.

For a magician who also uses a lightning wand, being caught behind the scenes means defeat.

This is the second time that he could have killed me, but he chose not to do it.

"Too slow? Do you mean that the [Thunder Dragon Bird] in my hand can't beat the magic wand in your hand?" Reinhardt finally asked this question.

But the answer he got made Reinhardt grit his teeth.

"Of course not. What I'm saying is that you're too slow, General Reinhardt."

"I…"

It was then that Reinhardt finally noticed, or rather acknowledged.

That's right, he had already had this guess, but he was unwilling to think in this direction. However, at this moment, he was not allowed to deny it.

It was not the speed of [Thunder Dragon Bird] that was slow, it was Reinhardt himself who lost to Hell.

It's the speed at which Reinhard activated his magic...

Too slow...
