Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

"Get ready for battle!"

The tension in the air already turned suffocating.

Despite all these, a calm expression still remained on Jon Stones' face, he turned his attention to the hundreds of Orcs that were behind them.

"Do you really think it is a nice idea to let them stay here?"

"I mean, I've killed so many people that I don't oppose the idea of killing a few hundred more but this way, their death would be too stupid".

"And by the way, let this battle stay between us".

"I know exactly how ambitious you are". His eyes looked straight at Clown. "But I am not someone that can be trampled on so easily".

"Leave my Pugilists alone".

"If even one of them comes to harm because of how unbridled you are, I can guarantee you that you won't be leaving here with your head intact".

Clown gritted his teeth but he still kept his silence, he did not let the words of this old monster completely get to him as he remained completely alert.

"I already know about your plans, I'm letting it go through for a reason".

"There is one thing that we agree on, and that is that King Tom is no longer fit to rule our planet, he should be replaced".

"You can do anything that your youth compels you to do to fulfill this, but don't let it get to your head, once your idea of order in chaos becomes too crazy, be rest assured that I will be the one to kill you myself".

Clown took deep breaths to calm himself.

Originally, allowing your opponent to talk so much was not his style but Jon Stones was too strong of an opponent for him to act unbridled before.

He decided for this battle to be 3 on 1 for a reason, because he believed that this was already more than enough to bring down this old monster.

What he didn't expect was Jon Stones' confident reaction.

Part of his brain wanted to believe that this was merely words of bravado from the old man to hide his fear but having fought against him once, he warned that part of his brain to stop believing that belief.

The silence that followed after Jon Stones finished talking was chilling and tense, Orc Warlord Zeke used this time to warn his warriors to move away.

As the Orcs slowly reached safe distance, one of them moved.

"Stones' Specialty: Sonic Speed!"

"Stones' Specialty: 3-Step Physical Teleportation!"

BOOM!

In less than a millisecond, Jon Stones moved and in the same less than a millisecond, he broke the sound barrier as he arrived before Clown who still levitated in the skies.

His speed was so fast that this Elementalist was still in the process of thinking.

Clown's eyes were still focused on the previous location of his opponent, watching alertly while his opponent already arrived beside him.

This was a crazy display of speed.

"Special Pugilist Ability: One-inch Punch!"

Bam!

Clown flew away like a meteor.

Black Master Einstein and Orc Warlord Zeke were stunned, they saw it, their body wanted to move but it felt like Jon Stones was existing in a time-space that was considerably faster than theirs.

Only their eyeballs could move when Stone's 3-Step Physical teleportation ability took effect.

Bzzz!

It was like space shifted but it was rather Stone's speed that shifted space.

He was so fast at this moment that it was akin to teleportation, he arrived before Black Master Einstein and elbowed him as this Elementalist flew away.

Not even a millisecond after Einstein flew away, he was already before Orc Warlord Zeke. This Orc could only widen his eyes as Jon Stones raised his right leg before swinging it towards this warrior's abdomen.

Bam!

Some bones cracked and Orc Warlord Zeke disappeared from the sheer force that accompanied the impact of the kick.

With this incredible display of speed and power, Jon Stones was able to send all 3 dangerous opponents away from his territory and his subordinates.

If they fought here, it was inevitable that his Pugilists and his territory would be affected. But having kicked them out, they could now fight to their heart's content, Jon Stones' blood pressure reduced after this as his talent deactivated.

After centuries of meditation, Jon Stones unlocked the ultimate talent which he called Ultra Instinct. In this state, time-space itself became subject to his manipulation and it was how he was able to effortlessly toy with his opponents.

He could not sustain that state for long though, the talent's effects already disappeared again after that incredible show of power and speed.

It would take a week before he could make use of its effects again.

Jon Stones did not mind though, though his opponents were 3 powerful Grade C powerhouses, he still believed in his ability to cope with them.

His eyes narrowed as he pictured the hill where all 3 of his opponents landed after he attacked them, the next moment, he took a step.

He activated his specialty ability again.

"Stone's Specialty: Sonic Speed!"

Whoosh!

Like the wind itself, Jon Stones accelerated towards the hill.

"Cough…!" Clown coughed blood as he recovered from the attack.

His eyes widened in horror as he looked back at where they came from. "What ability was that? How can he be so fast?"

Black Master Einstein fought the annoying feeling that felt like vomiting back as with narrowed eyes, he stared back.

"I don't think he can sustain that state for long".

"Such speed is not possible for Grade C Superhumans, I think he did that through either a pill or a new talent that he acquired".

"What I believe though is that he can't sustain it for long…"

"Incoming!" Orc Warlord Zeke warned as he grabbed his Axes tighter.

Intimidated already by just the first clash, Clown did not hold back as he instantly went for his strongest ability and strongest defensive ability.

"Sage Elementalist Ability: Ancient Wall of Doom!"

"Sage Elementalist Ability: Attaco Di Veleno!"

Clown rose into the skies as his Elementalist energy raged fiercely, Black Master Einstein did not dare lag behind as he also roused his Elementalist energy.

"Sage Style: Ancient Wall of Glass!"

"Sage Style: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"

"Sage Style: Fiery Sand Doppelganger!"

None of these 2 Black Masters dared to use ordinary Elementalist abilities, they only had confidence in their Sage abilities and they made use of the strongest.

As for Orc Warlord Zeke, this Orc was not an Elementalist, he had few defensive abilities, what he was instead good at was frontal attacks.

"Ultimate Ability: Twin Axe of the Demonic Asura!"

"Roar!"

Orc Warlord Zeke roared as he bravely struck with all his might.

When running at such impossible speeds after activating his Sonic Speed specialty ability, not even Jon Stones could fully control himself. Despite this, he was calm as his eyes observed and calculated his opponent's move.

"Special Pugilist Ability: Vacuum Push!"

"Special Pugilist Ability: Mad Dash!"

"Stones' Specialty: Fist of Obliteration!"

BOOM!

As soon as Jon Stones' Pugilist energy was roused, a mighty force pushed towards the 2 Elemental defensive structures that were formed by Clown and Einstein, the Vacuum Push strained the 2 defenses to the limits.

And with the mad dash, Jon Stones slammed into both shields.

Like a fragile picture, both defensive abilities shattered into numerous lights.

He did not end there, his right fist that was covered with an aggressive obliteration energy punched through as it repelled Zeke's twin Axe back.

A single Pugilist repelled all 3 of them but it was not full proof, Clown was the one who got the first positive results, his poisonous darts touched the Pugilist.

Jon Stones jerked as the poison invaded his body.

Clown's eyes gleamed sharply. "Attack!"
