Reincarnated Hero System

Pride didn’t stop her advance until she had cut deep into the forest filled with the forces of the undead monsters and there weren’t any living beings within a ten-kilometre radius of her.

Upon getting into a suitable position, she wiped off the sweat on her forehead, before working to calm her erratic breathing, while simultaneously absorbing ambient magic power into her body.

She then stomped her foot into the ground and jumped into the air with enough force to crater the earth where she just stood, and just in time to avoid the huge cleaver of a level 260 Dullahan, all while kneading her magic power and demonic energy into a large spell formation.

“This should unlock…at least one of my other affinities.”

As she spoke those words, she released multiple types of magic from her body, forming a pentagon from lances of various colours that surrounded a bit over a thousand undead monsters by piercing the ground.

This caused the attention of some of the grandmaster-level undead as well as a few paladins to be drawn towards her direction but she could not care less at this point.

“…the End.”

The five lances released different types of magic to the top of the centre of the pentagon formation and combined them there, giving birth to a giant mass of magic power.

As for the senior mages and paladins, they blitzed into the area with speeds twice that of Pride’s, recognized the high demon as an ally and moved in to prevent the grandmaster-level undead knights and liches from disrupting her actions.

Just when the wind magic that she was using wore off and gravity began pulling her back to the ground, the mass of magic power crashed down onto the undead, shattering their futile attempts at defending with magic barriers.

The merciless hammer of destruction struck down on the undead with a loud explosion.

**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

The concentrated mass of magic was entirely released at the undead who were stuck inside the pentagon formation, with the explosion and its resultant shockwaves even going on to further spread out for a few kilometres more.

The ground still trembled violently due to the shock and dust covered Pride’s field of vision as she descended back to the ground, before clicking her tongue and dashing towards the still alive level 200+ undead monsters.

Although the attack was powerful, it was not enough to kill the level 250 undead creatures with powerful enough durability to survive attacks capable of turning towns to rubble.

Even so, it did hold them down for a while, giving Pride the opening that she required to launch unobstructed attacks on some of them.

Now, what Pride didn’t know, was that the troop of undead she had just attacked, were reinforcements sent to aid the ones that the coalition forces on Position B had originally attacked; and that she had just effectively spoilt the undead’s plans of a pincer attack on their forces.

But even if she did, the high demon would not have cared less and would have continued slashing apart level 250 undead using her avatar’s partial activation.

Of course, it should not be forgotten that her contempt of the many and her Aura of Pride skills were active, meaning that she was receiving a high level of boosts to her base parameters, in addition to the 20% overall attack power buff from the sword in her hand.

The end result of all that, was the deaths of several level 200+ undead within the next fifteen minutes, after which Pride took a short break to recover some of her energy while watching the other adventurers and soldiers finish off the fodder undead.

Seeing her sitting down atop a pile of undead corpses while sipping a magic potion like it was wine, a lot of combatants had strange looks on her faces but not one of them dared to come up to her and say anything.

If the B rank card hanging from her neck wasn’t enough of a deterrent, then the pile of scorched and charred undead corpses she was atop was enough to keep them away.

“This place smells.”

Right after saying that, Pride filled the empty bottle in her hand with demonic energy, before tearing a piece of ragged cloth from one of the skeleton knights’ corpses that was sticking out of the pile she was sitting on.

She capped the bottle with this cloth and lit it up with black flames, before looking around for a place that had relatively few allies and more undead creatures.

“Hey, the party of C ranks over there.

Fall back or get caught up in my attack, your call.”

With that sort of warning, she tossed the bottle in her hands towards the swarm of undead they were fighting, shaking her head in exasperation as she saw one of the adventurers fall down while escaping.

“Are you so incompetent that you can’t even run away properly?”

As she spoke, she used her unique skill to generate a large energy-constructed hand which she used to pick up the adventurer and toss her body away, just in time for the bottle to make contact with the shield of one of the charging undead knights.

**BOOOOOM!!!!!

“The explosion is weaker than I expected.”

The B ranker who was about to call out to Pride, heard her words and nearly tripped on his feet from the shock.

‘She used a small potion bottle to create that kind of big explosion and she says it is weaker than she expected?!’

Ignoring the random elf behind her, Pride stared at the flames as a single thought came to her head.

‘Reminds me of when Alvey was trying to teach me that world’s primaeval magic system.’

Right after that, her eyes narrowed and she summoned her sword, before kicking off the pile of undead and shooting into the burning black flames, swinging her sword and clashing with the giant axe wielded by a large minotaur.

“You actually blocked my attack? How cocky of you.”

Those were the last words that Minotaur heard before it received the greatest beating it had ever gotten in both its life and undeath.

◇ ◇ ◇

While Pride was cutting off the head of a particularly large undead minotaur, her brother, Greed, was having the time of his life…in a way.

“HAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!”

The high demon’s boisterous laughter rang out on the noisy battlefield as he swung his huge great sword like it was a piece of light plastic and not a hunk of weight-increasing metal.

The demonic energy-infused blade tore through the rotting flesh of a giant ghoul, severing its legs from the rest of its body.

Right after, a huge black-coloured energy construct of the same weapon rose up into the sky, towering above everything on the battlefield and attracting the attention of all those nearby.𝓞𝑽𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t

It even stabbed into the chest cavity of one of the poor undead gryphons flying in the air, setting it ablaze as it screeched loudly while being piked up on the sword.

“Oh! Shit!!

Clear the area!!!”

One of the A-rank adventurers screamed out this warning, a few moments before Greed’s great sword construct slashed down at the giant ghoul’s body.

**BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!
