Demon Lord's Reincarnation

  Valdel, Lara, and the others quickly followed after Ren once their preparations were done. As they were getting closer to the Divine city Lara noticed that there two mana fluctuations of similar wavelength. One of them was Ren's and there was another. When she noticed that, Lara looked above and with her excellent eyesight she was able to spot a silver moon shining above the capital. Seeing that silver moon Lara couldn't help but sigh as she stopped running. Valdel, Kor, and Mir also stopped and looked at Lara confused.

"What are you doing Lara, were near the Divine City. I already sense that there's another powerful person besides Ren." 

"You sensed that but you didn't notice?" 

"What are you talking about?" Valdel tried to sense the mana fluctuation again and was surprised by what he felt, he then looked at Lara. 

"So you finally noticed, there are only two reasons as to why there could be two of the same mana fluctuation. One Ren was able to summon one of his past incarnations or the more likely scenario is that b*tch has awakened. Either way, Ren wouldn't need our help anymore." 

"I don't know who that person you're talking about is, but even if he doesn't need any help wouldn't you want to watch the battle? Even just watching a battle of that level is good training." 

"I'm pretty sure you and I are already past the point for that kind of training. That kind of training is only good if you haven't seen too many battles. I have no need for such training since the only reason I'm currently weak is that my soul is still trying to stabilize itself. As for you, it's because your body hasn't caught up to the level of your technique."

"You're not hiding it anymore, huh." Valdel smiled as he scratched his head. 

"What's the use of hiding something you already figured out. Yes, like you I have memories of my past life, but unlike you not only do I retain my memories of multiple past lives, but once my soul stabilizes my body will reach its peak state." 

"Hmph, aren't you and Ren pretty much cheating at this point?" 

"Please don't compare me to Ren. Unlike mine Ren's reincarnation cycle is more stable. Not to mention that he grows stronger simply by existing. If you want to call someone a cheat, isn't the very definition of one?" 

"I now understand why you've become quite talkative. I've been a bit confused since you guys and everyone else keep using terms iI don't understand. I hope you explain to me everything you know." 

"Well, you are his current best friend in this incarnation so I guess you should know the basics. Very well, I'll tell you the story of the Strongest Mortal Soul." 

"Wait, that's for later, first we need to get to a better vantage point to watch Ren's battle." 

While Valdel and Lara were talking, Kor and Mir stood behind them unable to understand a single thing that was said. The group then started running again, but this time they were headed towards a hill near the Divine City to get a better look at the battle. Once they got closer, they could finally see the carnage Ren and Tsukiyomi wrought. 

The four of them had different reactions when they saw the sight before them. Lara was able to quickly spot Tsukiyomi, when she spotted the Ethereal Lara clicked her tongue. 

'Tsk, that b*tch actually matured? Well, I guess after a few Decamillennium of course anyone would grow.' 

It seemed that Tsukiyomi noticed her as well, as she looked directly at Lara for a few seconds and then smiled at her. Tsukiyomi suddenly appeared behind Ren who was just finishing off another knight. She then out of nowhere kissed Ren on the cheek. Ren immediately countered by swinging his sword at Tsukiyomi but the damage has been done. It was rather surprising that she was able to get so close to Ren, but what was even more surprising that Ren wasn't able to react fast enough, but more than that. 

'WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT B*TCH DOING?!' Lara was filled with rage, but she knew that unless her soul has fully stabilized she won't even last a few seconds against even the weakened Tsukiyomi. 

Valdel also noticed the new person fighting beside Ren. 

'That person must be the one Lara is calling a b*tch. She must be a part of Ren's past lives. I see that she's extremely powerful and skilled, she would probably be above me even at my peak... Still, more than that, why is it another woman?! Are all of Ren's past companions mostly women? Is all of his past lives a bunch of perverts, that only know how to fight, f*ck and eat?!'

Even though Valdel had fused with the memories of Kir, he was still the young rather innocent boy Valdel. Unlike Kir who has done the deed multiple times, Valdel hasn't done it with anyone. 

While both Lara and Valdel were in a state of rage, Kor and Mir were looking at the battle nay the massacre unfolding before them with awe and fear. Above them, the sky was darkened and a silver moon shined upon the gruesome battlefield. 

The sky which was once ruled by the powerful wyvern knights were gone. In the face of Ren and Tsukiyomi's overwhelming might, the wyvern knights became nothing more than flies. There were also the airships that the Holy Kingdom was proud of, that were now burning on the ground. 

The sword saints and swordmasters of the Holy Kingdom had tried their hardest to hold Ren and Tsukiyomi back but they were all became sliced meat. Yet what surprised Kor and Mir more than how the two were annihilating the army of the Temple of Light, was that while they were doing that they were actually trying to hit each other as well. It was like they were having a one on one battle against each other while the army of the Temple of Light were just obstacles in their way. 

...

Baldur was watching the fight between Ren and Tsukiyomi who as they fought each other were killing the nearby knights. He could not believe how powerful the two were, it turns out that the army of Light that he was so proud of was nothing in front of such power. Baldur gnashed his teeth in frustration but after a while, he sighed as he looked at the few comrades he had left. 

"We had brought shame upon the name of our Goddess. It is now obvious that we are lacking in strength to subjugate the heretics. But fear not my fellow believers, our Goddess is ever merciful. It is now time to offer our lives to our beloved Goddess so she may walk these lands and smite the heretics. Do not fear death for upon our death the Glory of our Goddess will forever remain and we will be there by her side!" 

Baldur and every believer present nodded their heads as they gathered their resolve. Each one of them took out a ritual dagger and spoke in unison. 

"WE OFFER OUR LIVES AND SOULS FOR THEE! MAY YOUR LIGHT ILLUMINATE THESE LANDS!" Baldur and the remaining believers stabbed their hearts with the ritual dagger.
