An Extra’s POV

"It seems you are indeed the enemy…"

As Rey spoke, he brought out a sword seemingly out of thin air.

The blade was obsidian black, with several runes written on its flat surface. The runes glowed as he poured energy through its hilt.

This was one of the items he bought, and until now it was hidden in his [Inventory].

"… Filthy Dragon." Rey pointed his blade at his opponent, a wide grin on his face.

No one could see his smile, though.

The only thing evident to everyone was the grim mask of darkness that shrouded his face.

'I've seen your Stats and Skills. You're incredibly strong—stronger than anything I've ever faced. However…'

Rey felt relieved. Like a heavy weight had been lifted from his chest.

'… I can win!'

"What… are you?" The voice of the Dragon Commander—Jer'ard—rang in the air.

Rey took caution as he stared at him, though he gave no response.

"Your presence… your power… it's difficult to assess."

Rey wondered what the Dragon Commander was seeing from his heights.

"I can clearly tell that you're weaker than me, but there's something else. What… who are you? Hmm…"

'Such calmness in front of a stranger.' Rey smiled to himself.

This one was really confident.

He had read a lot about Dragons, especially their natural abilities such as their intuition, but not much was known about three-horned Dragons.

Dragon Commanders were rarely seen—even in the battlefield—so it was difficult to extract enough information about them.

'And it seems this one is an average example of a Dragon Commander. His Stats alone are wild.'

No human could ever hope to come close to a Dragon in power.

The fact that both Adonis and Lucielle couldn't beat it with their combined power didn't come as a surprise to Rey at this point.

No one in the entire United Human Alliance stood a chance against this thing.

No one but him.
