Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

-----

You have activated Adrenaline Ability: Battle Controller!

BZZZ!

Christensen was still in the ecstatic state of digesting his new power and exploring the limits of his body when he suddenly froze.

He was not the only one who froze, the others also froze.

The fragment of Legolas' consciousness that was inside their minds activated. Instantly, Legolas gained overriding authority over their bodies.

He didn't exactly supplant their authorities like a chip, turning them into slaves of their own body like was done with Norman. Instead, an instinct like he was their Battle Commander was instead implanted in their minds.

Back in the 21st century on Earth, Legolas remembered Battle Commanders. Colonels, Generals, Admirals, there was so much indoctrination in the army that literally every private had unconditional respect for their superiors.

At this moment, Legolas planted a piece of his consciousness inside his allies in a way that they suddenly believed that he was their Battle Commander.

Not even Frigga, the mythical beast was able to escape this special state.

In this state, Legolas felt that any order that he gave his allies, they would execute it unconditionally even if it meant losing their lives in the process.

This was a horrifying reality to any Grade C Superhuman.

This was the power of a Battle Controller!

In this state, Legolas' mental capacities were heightened even more.

He became capable of reading thoughts.

He read the thoughts of the dozen warriors that a part of his mind now inhabited as he tried hard to suppress the strange feeling like he was now a god.

'What is happening to my body?' A Summoner thought.

'Why can't I control myself?!' A Pugilist was horrified.

'Is this another part of the reanimation ritual?' Jon Stones was confused.

'What…, is this?!' Core Protector Shanks was shocked and wary.

'This feeling…, it's master!' Christensen thought and he was shocked.

'This familiar feeling…" Blade was also shocked.

Originally, all of them were horrified and wary but they slowly calmed down when they were able to detect that the consciousness in their minds meant no harm. To cooperate successfully with them, Legolas also laid his mind bare.

Being a Battle Controller was not as easy a feat as Legolas thought.

It took him more than a few seconds for him to stabilize his current state. The next moment, Legolas began actively accessing the mind of his allies to placate them and prepare them for what would come next.

While all these happened, Alexander was too shocked to act.

'What the hell is going on?!'

'Why do I suddenly feel like I'm no longer facing a bunch of Grade C Superhumans but rather I'm facing a well-trained army battalion?'

'What is this…?'

'Should I attack to stop it?'

'What if attacking triggers an even more ridiculous effect?'

Legolas smirked as he basked in this state where he felt omnipresent.

He could feel the fear of his main enemy despite their distance, he could read his thoughts, all these gave him confidence to commence it.

"This is the battle formation!" His voice was filled with authority.

"Jon Stones shall be our vanguard; he is the meat shield".

"He shall be our battle spear while Blade will follow closely behind him. Everyone else, focus on protecting me, my Rifle will deal the killing blow".

"We are an army!"

"Remember, we attack and retreat as one!"

They didn't need to reply, Legolas's orders reverberated in their consciousnesses like the decree of a god, they could not resist it.

-----

Warning! Battle God- Legolas state is temporary!

You have gained access to the Command Console!

----

Instantly, Legolas' connection with his allies changed again.

This time, he no longer saw them like just allies. Like his virtual interface indicated previously, through his now vastly superior senses, he was now able to look at his allies like they were game characters while he was the player.

At this moment, with a figment of his consciousness inside their minds, Legolas felt like he was the player with the joystick in his hand.

All he needed to do was make an action and his characters would execute it.

Legolas did not just think of it, he acted upon it.

He raised his head and looked ahead, all the information that he needed to pay attention to were instantly registered in his mind. From his allies to his enemies in this battlefield, everything instantly registered in Legolas' mind.

From Giant Norman's position, to Alexander's position, then to the remaining Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities, his eyes flashed as plans flowed through his head already at a rapid speed.

At this moment, he only had 11 allies remaining. Jon Stones, Core Protector Shanks, White Flame Eleanor, Daemon, Newton, Blade, Christensen, Hunter Master Lydia, Geralt and his master, and an anonymous Grade C Superhuman.

Taking in all these information, Legolas' eyes gleamed.

"Vanguard, charge!"

"The others, protect!"

He barely spoke before they moved. At this moment, they didn't even need to process his orders, his consciousness that was in their mind override their decision making as Jon Stones and Blade charged towards Giant Norman.

Boom!

Instantly after both Pugilists moved, the others made their moves.

None of them attacked, they simply focused on defending Legolas like ordered even as those with ranged methods employed more sophisticated means to protect the 2 charging Pugilists.

Witnessing everything and the incredible synergy, Alexander was already going crazy in horror as he roared at his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities.

By now, he already discovered that he was the target.

"NORMAN, PROTECT ME!"

"Don't let these filthy humans get near me!"

BOOM!

Like a meteorite, Jon Stones charged towards Alexander without fear even as Giant Norman tried to block the way and protect his master.

Time seemed to slow down at this sensitive moment, everyone held their breaths as this Pugilist's speed almost broke the speed barrier.

Directly behind him, Blade kept up with his master's speed.

Before Jon Stones hit his target, the Draconic Praying Mantis already attacked from the side as this gigantic Monster unleashed an acidic breath at his target. They did not stop at that; the Draconic Crocodile also blocked the way.

The Crocodiles' dangerous rows of teeth clamped down towards Jon Stones with incredible speed but this time, the Pugilist did not back away.

He relished his current state. "Hahaha…!"

He didn't even need to think, Legolas made all the decisions, all that he needed to do was cooperate as his body moved in tandem with Legolas's thoughts.

"Unlike before, I'm immortal now!"

"Stones' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"

At the last moment, Jon Stones suddenly changed his target from Alexander who was behind to the Draconic Crocodile. This Crocodile did not expect it as the Pugilists' mighty fist collided against its skin, pushing it back.

The attack left a stinging pain but the Crocodile was mostly fine. This state didn't last though, this Crocodile felt its danger instincts ring the next moment.

Shing!

At the last moment, Blade also changed his target.

From nowhere, this Pugilist unsheathed a sword that his master secretly gave to him just a minute ago. Seeing the plasma blade of the Lightsaber, the Draconic Crocodile felt a strong threat to its life.

It couldn't dodge though, the attack was too fast including the timing.

Blade attacked instantly after Jon Stones attacked and at the same point, with all his power, this Pugilist sliced down with the Lightsaber.

Swoosh!

BOOM!

-----

You have activated Weapon Ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!

Critical Hit!

----

Not only the Lightsaber sliced through, a powerful atomic beam also hit flesh.

Legolas attacked at the same instant as the sword met flesh.

He hoped to end the Draconic Crocodile's life with that but this Monstrosity had more vitality than he expected, it didn't live longer though. Noticing it first, all Blade needed was a backheel slash to behead this menace.

The Draconic Crocodile was dead!

"…?!!!" Alexander had only shock and question marks all over his face.

"What…?!"

"How…?!"

Legolas remained calm. "Vanguard, charge!"
