An Extra's POV

Chapter 210 The Observer’s Intervention

As Rey watched everyone tremble before the man before them, he felt a bit left out.

Everyone already knew his identity, and they were muttering his name with scared tones. He became curious and resorted to the only way to satisfy his current state.

\'[Absolute Appraisal].\'

The moment he said this, Ogun\'s System Window appeared before him.

[End Of Information]

"Ohhh!" Rey\'s eyes widened as he looked at the man\'s Stats.

\'So these are his Stats?\'

Rey had been hearing about the Mercenary Gang Executives and how scary they were, but he never expected to meet one of them so soon.

This man—Ogun—certainly looked the part, and based on the reaction of everyone, he was the real deal.

Plus, the System didn\'t lie.

Yet, after Rey\'s initial round of surprise, he couldn\'t help but feel something a bit off.

\'That\'s strange, though… why are his Stats so low?\'

He had heard that the Mercenary Gang Executives—Nine Heads of Destruction—were as strong as the Alliance\'s strongest, so he expected to see some really high numbers.

These seemed like a joke in comparison.

\'Brutus is currently in Level 150, the highest Level attainable for those with the B-Tier Class. His Stats reflect that well, and his Bonus Stats are much more impressive than this guy\'s own.\'

He never saw Brutus fully equip weapons and Items, so he didn\'t know how strong the man could get, but based on raw Stats alone, the Chief Warrior was already stronger than Ogun.

\'And let\'s not talk about Lucielle. She\'s in Level 175 already, since the Cap for A-Tier is probably around Level 200, and her Stats are even higher than Brutus—well, except in the Combat Ability department.\'

All in all, both of the Alliance\'s strongest were more powerful than the man before him.

\'And they claim he can single/handedly kill a Dragon? With those Stats?\'

Perhaps a One-Horn Dragon, but Rey doubted the man before him could do something like that with such Stats and his limited Skill-set.

\'Unless…\' Rey\'s eyes narrowed on the Exclusive Skill that Ogun had on display.

\'Is that what is at work? I can\'t see any details about it, but I\'m curious about what it can do.\'

Fortunately for Rey, while he was observing Ogun, the latter managed to piss off Yuri.

~BOOOM!~

Rey heard the ground shatter and watched as Yuri approached Ogun with an unbelievable amount of ferocity.

He had never seen her that way before.

\'Her Stats are rising like crazy too!\' Rey beamed as he watched everything going on with keen eyes.

He already knew her Stats were much lower than Ogun\'s, but with her tripling the base numbers, there was still a chance for her.

For one, Rey felt she would be more skilled in actual combat.

He wasn\'t wrong.

Despite the gap in Stats, Yuri did extremely well and fought an impressive fight.

By the time she landed behind Ogun and went for the kill, Rey felt strangely proud of her and watched what would happen.

That was when he saw what he had been looking for.

The effects of the [Damage Nullification] Skill!

\'Doppel: Show Skills\' Rey\'s thoughts trailed as he kept his gaze on what was happening before him.

[Skill Categories]

~ SS-Tier: 3

~ S-Tier: 8

~ A-Tier: 8

~ B-Tier: 12

~ C-Tier: 3

[New Skills: Please Select Their Categories]

~D-Tier: Intimidating Aura~

~C-Tier: Warrior\'s Mantle~

~C-Tier: Rampage~

~C-Tier: Damage Nullification~

[Total Skills: 38]

The moment Rey saw that it was C-Tier, his expectations slightly plummeted.

Still, he decided not to judge a Skill merely based on Tiers. After all, a lot of his favorite Skills had the same standards, yet they were pretty useful.

He tapped on the [Damage Nullification] icon to see its details.

[Skill Details]

[Damage Nullification]

Tier: C (Passive)

Ability: Gives the user a perfect body that nullifies any damage given, as long as they do not exceed your total Combat Ability

[End Of Information]

\'Oho! This is actually really good!\'

Rey felt a surge of dopamine hit his body as he took a second look at the Skill description.

\'With this Skill, I won\'t even take damage from anything weaker than me.\'

As long as his opponent\'s Combat Ability was lower—even if it was by 1 unit— he could not be harmed in the slightest.

\'That\'s crazy!\'

It was no wonder Ogun was called invincible. If anyone even remotely weaker than him faced him, it would end in their inevitable defeat.

\'One people… a hundred… it doesn\'t even matter!\'

As Rey was indulging in his thoughts, echoes of the battle reached his ears, causing him to pay attention again.

Once he did, he noticed Yuri on the ground, her face all messed up.

Ogun\'s massive spiky club was raised in the air, about to be smashed on her entire body.

\'Okay… that\'s enough.\'

In a single breath, he closed the distance between himself and the two who stood at a distance.

The club came crashing down, but he easily held it up, stopping the powerful thing mid-air.

He turned to Yuri, seeing as she was already losing consciousness while tears fell from her eyes.

Rey felt a little bad at this point.

"You\'ve done enough. I\'ll take it from here." He muttered.

As he said this, he felt the weight behind the club increase, and the ground began to tremble as a result of the overwhelming pressure.

It made no difference to him, though.

"Take it from where? Hahahaha! Just because you—!"

"Hang on a moment." Rey interrupted the hulking man and pointed his unoccupied hand towards the unconscious Yuri.

With a single thought, he used [Absolute Healing] and caused her to recover instantly.

Then, he used his Spatial Magic to transport her to to the other ten who were trembling by themselves.

\'I still have to protect the merchandise, don\'t I?\'

He used [Absolute Perfect Defense] to generate a shield to cover the entire crew and the crates that were before them.

That way, they would be safe regardless of whatever harm the enemy could conjure up.

Once he was done with all of this, he turned to look at Ogun, who now had a surprised—almost wary—expression written on his face.

"Now where was I…?"

Before Rey could say any more, Ogun jumped back, causing the club to slip out of the former\'s hand.

"Ahh…"

Rey\'s gaze rested on the barbarian who now had a serious glare, losing all of the playful demeanor he started the confrontation with.

Right now, only an aura of danger enveloped him.

"You…" He pointed his spiky club at Rey and asked with a deep tone caressing his words.

"Who are you?"
