Reincarnated Hero System

[I win!]

Hearing the girl’s cute voice ring out as she used her thunderclap skill to roast a bunch of ghouls, made very strange looks to adorn the faces of the nearby soldiers.

“She looks cute and all but what she’s doing is so NOT cute.”

“Tell me about it.”

As for the red-haired spirit, Amy, she had a look on her face that made it seem like she only just wanted to sleep, but after remembering the promise she made with Pride, she was filled with newfound vigour to turn more undead to ashes.

[Flaming Fervour]

She used her skill, triggering an intense spray of flames that rushed at all the nearby undead, dealing widespread elemental fire damage.

Then, just like Evan’s chain lightning, the moment an undead had been burned to death, the flames moved over to the nearest undead to burn them, even if said undead was already on fire.

From the corner of her eyes, she noticed a few adventurers surrounded by undead and sighed softly, before snapping her fingers to generate multiple flame spears and send them towards the undead, effectively marking them as targets for her flaming fervour skill.

[Should I use the black fire?]

She placed a hand to her chin and thought to herself, before releasing a wave of black-coloured flames that burned even the wraiths who were flying around.𝒪𝑽𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t

Amy then manipulated these black flames with frightening proficiency, turning them into a long whip which she used to flog a few dozen undead to ashes.

[Hmm?]

[…Um…hello?]

Turning around upon sensing a presence approaching her, she was met with the sight of a timid-looking green-haired wind spirit.

[Is there anything?]

[…n-nothing much.

I was j-just wondering if y-you could agree…to…do a c-combo attack!]

[…]

Amy couldn’t help but stare at the spirit dumbfoundedly for a moment as the way they were acting was too far removed from her normal image of wind spirits.

However, the weird screeching noise from a nearby banshee brought her back to her senses and she nodded in affirmation, causing a smile to bloom on the face of the spirit.

[I’d start now, okay?]

Without even waiting for Amy’s answer, the timid-looking wind spirit turned towards the right and waved their hands in the air, generating terrifyingly strong wind currents that pulled a bunch of zombies, ghouls and even a few Dullahans and skeleton knights together.

[Dancing Wind!]

With their shout, the wind currents swirled and launched the undead into the air, before forming a vacuum field in the middle that pulled them back to the ground, only to swirl once more and launch them up in the air after slicing them up with wind blades.

Seeing this, Amy activated her breath of fire skill and twirled her fingers in the air, generating a ring of fire which she threw like a discus.

It spun around in the air as it moved, eventually spinning into the swirling wind currents. Before she could even activate the next phase of the attack, the wind currents absorbed the flames in the ring, turning red and launching the undead group into the air with flames burning all over their bodies.

While the two spirits were launching flaming undead into the air, a certain shadow spirit was looking at the great spirit that he was supposed to ‘guard’ and sighing as he saw her jump into a bunch of zombies and turn them into roasted flesh before jumping over to another set of undead.

[Seriously…Lady Kayla’s just using this chance to play around.

Doesn’t she know that using her pseudo-authority for extended periods of time would make her seal wear off?

How is she going to explain to master when that happens?]

The cat formed a palm with shadows and grabbed the ball of dark light that was floating above his head before stuffing it into the mouth of an undead tiger monster that was about to roar.

“GUOH!!”

The shadows extended and formed two arms that clamped the undead’s mouth shut, long enough for the ball of dark light to explode.

Both the undead tiger and every other undead within a 500-metre semi-circular radius all turned into black ash, however, the people combating this undead were all relatively unharmed.

The perceptive ones noticed that it had something to do with the weird rope of dark light that extended from their shadows and wrapped around their feet right before the explosion.

After admiring his destructive masterpiece, Kuro turned towards an adventurer who was staring at him dumbfoundedly and spoke.

[Stealth type Draugr on your five o’clock.]

Hearing the cat’s words, the adventurer’s eyes widened and they turned around while infusing their weapon in aura, just in time to clash with the two daggers of the hooded undead that they didn’t even know was there.

Before the creature could do anything else, shadowy tentacle-like appendages stretched out and wrapped around the creature’s body, holding it in place.

The adventurer then promptly dispatched it with a blade of flames before turning to Kuro and saying.

“T-thanks.”

[You’re welcome.

Now, if you’d excuse me. I’d like to borrow your shadow.]

“Huh?”

Before they could even finish being surprised, Kuro had already jumped towards their shadow and disappeared into it.

“T-teleportation?!”

While the adventurer was being shocked at Kuro’s abilities, the cat had made his way over to where the extroverted Kayla and a certain introverted wind spirit were having a ‘conversation’…if Kayla one-sidedly talking to the spirit could be considered one.

[Restrain yourself, Lady Kayla.]

[Huh? Kuro?]

Since her current size was larger than Kuro’s, Kayla picked up the cat spirit in her arms and hugged him tightly, giving the wind spirit the time she required to go hide behind Amy.

The next moment, all the spirits simultaneously flinched, before ducking to avoid the large 3-metre-tall Dullahan that got sent flying in their direction.

***BOOOMMMM!!!!

The undead crashed into the ground beside them, knocking them back with the shockwaves from the collision between its body and the ground.

As for the dust from the explosion, the wind spirit created a barrier that prevented it from getting to them, dispersing said barrier to clear up the dust cloud around them.

[Hey! Watch where you’re tossing your opponents!!!]

Kayla snapped at the A-rank adventurer responsible for knocking the Dullahan in their direction, with the skies turning dark in response to her anger.

[Lady Kayla, don’t forget your skill is still active!]

Kuro just barely managed to stop her from accidentally raining down lightning on the entire battlefield, however, the lightning spirit felt like venting her annoyance so she turned to the undead who was struggling to its feet and called out.

[Electroflame!]

The wind spirit activated their skills and swirled all the flames, causing them to spread across the Dullahan’s body a moment before the lightning from Kayla’s skill hit.

Amy then decided to use this Dullahan to see how effective her dark flames were, generating a huge great sword that was a bit taller than she was with black flames.

Her feet dropped to the ground and she released an intense wave of black flames that knocked the Dullahan back to the ground, however, Kuro’s shadows came in and restrained it, preventing it from rag-dolling any further.

[Kayla.]

[I got it!]
