As Will pondered this matter, he started to inform the others of his own journey. He did not intend to tell them the entire story, but he could tell them enough to just avoid keeping them in the dark.

.

"So after I made this super awesome attack in the Unending Battlefield, I was then send to this really weird place filled with these Greek Columns-" Before Will could continue his story, he was interrupted.

"Ehem!"

Reinhardt coughed and said, "I don't know who you are, but don't you think you are being a bit rude?'

Letty frowned and was about to speak when Will placed a hand on her shoulder. He shook his head, signalling her to not take any action. Will smiled amiably and said, "Forgive me. My name is Solitary. I'm the humble yet extremely dashing leader of Tsimikas. It's your pleasure to meet me."

Will's pompously comical introduction amused the observers and solicited a round of laughter.

Will ignored the laughter and looked to the side.

"Achilles, borrow me your sword."

Will's friends looked at him with confounded expressions. Will already had a sword; why would he need to borrow another?

The army that had surrounded Will and his group quieted down and became slightly apprehensive. Letty and Duke had shown battle prowess that could easily put them on Reinhardt's level. Thus it stood to reason that Will could only be stronger.

However, Will was not a Sector Boss. Bosses had far more Life Force than others. In other words, no matter how strong Will was, he did not have much HP. The Ogre General could tank countless attacks and regenerate in a way that made the Reinhardt crowd feel powerless. But if Will received a few attacks, he would still die. After all, he was also level 99. Not to mention, no matter how strong Will was, he couldn't possibly fight everyone here while protecting his friends.

Will's companions were a shackle that Reinhardt could exploit.

The combat power of the Reinhardt group was far above the villages. Since most of these troops had rested throughout the battle and had reaped the benefits from the drops, they were significantly stronger.

'Unless he is a freak of nature, he can't possibly do anything in this situation.' analyzed Reinhardt. He was arrogant but not stupid. He knew there were users capable of overcoming common sense. But what were the odds of any of them being the leader of a tiny village in the middle of nowhere?

Reinhardt smirked arrogantly as he crossed his arms, "You want to fight against all of us? By yourself? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are a savant?"

Reinhardt's followers laughed along. Although most of the cultivators were still weary of Will.

"Maybe he was trained by an all-powerful immortal."

"Nope, he must possess divinity as well. Since the Solar Hunter is one, why can't he?"

"No, I say he is a Truthseeker and a savant, haha!"

"You might as well call him a Natural Born Sovereign!"

As Reinhardt and his crew mocked Will, the latter could not help but be stunned.

'Wow, they actually got me spot on. What are the odds?'

Will shook his head while smiling wryly. He held Achilles' one-handed sword and gave it a few swings.

"Hmm, good sword. Well, balanced."

Reinhardt's crew laughed even more when they saw Will's actions. Will did not move with the grace and poise a swordsman normally had. In fact, one would be forgiven for thinking that he was an ordinary mortal playing samurai. There was no killing intent, skill or method to his movements.
