Reincarnated Hero System

“You really are bad at magic…”

The noble demon’s eyes widened as she heard Evan’s voice, with his arm coming in through the smoke and grabbing her neck tightly.

While choking her with his tight grip, he created multiple footholds with the void steps skill, running up them into the air like he was on a staircase to heaven.

Naturally, Lensa tried to break free of his hold, even spreading her wings and trying to attack him with them, but the young hero just gave her two ‘fractures’ to the forehead, disorienting her long enough for him to reach a suitable height to drop her down from.

He jumped up into the air and flung her downwards to the ground, waiting for the moment where she opened her wings to fly before launching an energy blast of destruction aura at her.

The red beam slightly scaped the side of Lensa’s torso as she dodged, however, her wings weren’t retracted fast enough and fell victim to the ‘True Damage’ attribute of the blessing of destruction’s first activation.

‘Did Artemisia do something else after that time in the dungeon? To stop me from being triggered?

Why am I even triggered by that statement in the first place?’

Those were Evan’s thoughts as he watched the noble demon crash to the ground, opening up his status and looking at the race tab before asking himself.

‘Does this have to deal with my unknown race? Is it perhaps a race of beings who don’t like gods?’𝑜𝓋𝐿𝐞xt.𝐂𝗈𝓂

Just before he could sink deeper into his thoughts, a large earth-shaking explosion rang out, with a giant cloud of smoke and flames rising into the air behind him.

“Huh?”

Turning around, Evan bore witness to the scene of everything within a 500-metre radius of the hole where the flesh golem burst out of, sink into the ground with a huge landslide devastating everything within an area twice that size.

As the gigantic hole expanded together with the landslide that turned everything in those two kilometre squares to dust, Evan’s brow twitched as he spoke.

“That’s where Greed is, isn’t it?

Don’t tell me he got Liz caught up in his bullshit?!”

He was about to turn around and move towards that direction when Kuro’s timely message came through.

[Master, she’s fine.]

“Oh…Good.”

He heaved a sigh of relief, before deciding to think about all these other things related to his race and whatnot at a later time.

‘For now, I have to deal with an angry demon.’

Evan flared his aura of destruction, deciding to stop messing around as he spun around and shot towards the streak of green light heading towards him.

**BOOMMM!

The battle between the noble demon and hero continued, with the two of them moving so fast that they looked like streaks of red and green light shooting through the air.

They eventually ended up straying far away from where the battle originally started, almost reaching the other end of the town in the process.

Although Evan was getting the hand of battling with the air, he wasn’t to the level of the noble demon who despite the hole in her wing, continued to manoeuvre the skies with ease.

‘Not good. I have to take this to the ground.’

With that thought, Evan jumped off his aura foothold and released an aura burst, forming his palm into a knife hand and making a downward swiping motion.

**SWISHH!!

He activated his aura slash skill, releasing a slash of orange aura that almost sliced off Lensa’s right-wing, however, the noble demon dodged it with a paper-thin margin, unknowingly moving into position for Evan’s other outstretched palm.

“Energy blast.”

A beam of orange aura was launched out once again, slamming into Lensa’s back and knocking her towards the ground, with Evan looking at his palm in slight surprise as he fell to the ground.

‘Is my aura mixing with the destruction aura?’

He hurriedly created another foothold which he used to springboard himself towards the falling Lensa, however, she flew out of the way with her injured wing, avoiding Evan and landing on the ground with her two feet.

The boy blinked once he was a few metres to the ground, landing on his two feet but eventually failed to keep his balance and fell to the ground.

He would have spent a few more seconds on the floor, but the huge concentration of demonic energy he felt shocked him back to his feet as he just barely dodged the giant black-green energy fist that slammed into where he was laying on the floor.

‘Blink! Elemental Shield!’

Evan consecutively activated two skills as he watched Lensa’s energy-coated fist slam into the ground where he was a second ago.

***KAABOOOOMM!!!!!

Despite taking distance with blink and using energy shields for defence, Evan was still sent flying into the air, crashing on the ground and being hit with waves of demonic energy powerful enough to shatter his elemental shield and force him to reuse it twice.

Even so, he still had to generate multiple shields with aura and magic to ensure that he was relatively unscathed from the huge explosion.

When the explosion finally receded and the clouds of smoke began to be blown away by the wind, Evan couldn’t help but give a dry laugh as he looked at the scenery around him.

“…where the fuck did the town go to?”

Evan could not be blamed for his question, as anyone in his position would gave asked the same thing too.

There was no need for any fancy words to explain the scenery around Evan as it could all be summed up into one single sentence.

The town around him had been blown away.

As simple as that.

Of course, it wasn’t the entire town that was blown away, just the half where Evan and Lensa were fighting, but one had to remember that even if it was an abandoned small town, it still had an area of roughly 140-150 kilometre squares.

Yet, about half of that was completely turned into a large crater that was dozens, possibly a hundred metres deep, with its width reaching outsides the walls of the town.
