Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 415 Carnage Of The Void



A ‘small’ hail of meteorites was summoned from the void beyond the deep purple portals, streaking across the sky in all their blazing glory.

The attention of every single entity on the battlefield was grasped by this spell, undead, living beings, humans, beastmen, dwarves, elves and all.

Even the civilians who were far away in Bultom City were able to glimpse the giant purple portals and the meteorites that emerged from within them.

They say a Grandmaster level existence within the levels of 300 to around 370 could destroy an average-sized town in a single attack, but in this current scenario, forget destroying a town, those meteorites had enough destructive power to level an entire city with ease!!…if it was cast when Tisha was at full power, that is.

Fortunately, or Unfortunately, the current Tisha had expended most of her energy reserves in the day’s battles, and even ran out of magic power as the meteors were flying through the air.

Dominik who had just consumed huge amounts of death energy to silently summon an army of undead knights and skeleton mages quite a distance away from the main battlefield, more than five thousand in number, looked on in shock as he saw the meteors streak over towards the undead he had just summoned.

The Lich swung its spatial sword from left to right, slicing apart the first meteor into two large halves that dropped onto the ground.

However, just when it reversed its grip and wanted to swing in the opposite direction to cut the second meteor, the fifth spell that Tisha had activated finally took effect.

“Delay Magic: Twin Gravitation Whips”

Delay Magic was a simple type of magic that caused another type of spell to have its moment of activation delayed when cast.

As such, the Gravitational Whip spell that had been cast earlier, was delayed until now, activating at the worst possible moment for the lesser lich king.

Two small dark purple portals appeared behind it and the whips of condensed gravitons shot out of them, with one wrapping around both the Lich’s arm and the handle of the sword, while the other wrapped around the Lich’s skull and dragged it to the ground.

The Lesser Lich King was slammed down onto the ground unexpectedly, right before the meteor it was about to cut in two crashed down on it, with the other meteors following suit.

***KAAABOOOOMM!!!!!!!!

Although Tisha ran out of magic power mid-way, forcing the spell to be cancelled after just a few meteors came out, the impact of these gravity-magic-coated rocks crashing onto the ground was enough to deal with the Lesser Lich King, as well as the thousands of undead Dominik had just summoned.

The earth shook and the sky rumbled, with a small cloud of smoke, dust and flames rising into the clouds, quickly taking on the shape of a mushroom of flames.

“A fuckin Nuke Drop!!!”

Evan’s strange shout was drowned out by the sounds of the explosion, but even if the explosion was not there, people were too busy trying to maintain their footing to give a shit about what he was saying.

Knowing the effects of her spell, Tisha only dropped three of the smallest meteors towards the lich, before sending the rest of them in the direction of the undead army in the distance, as such, those on the battlefield had a lot easier time dealing with the aftershocks.

Minus the fact that she took out a lot of undead, there were unavoidably a few friendly casualties caused by her explosion, the main reason why other grandmaster-level existences had not pulled out huge AOE attacks as great as this.

The Gravity mage had expended all her energy and fell into a magic deficient state, something that would be fatal to any mage on this battlefield, but the true danger to her life, however, was not her magic deficiency.

“TISHAA!!!!”

The voice of one of her party members boomed out over the noise of the receding explosion as he dropped his sword and kicked off the ground and jumped up into the air to catch the falling mage.

His hands were instantly stained with blood the moment he caught her, shaking slightly as he tried to use his energy to at least stop her bleeding and prevent her from losing any more blood.

He cast a hateful glare towards the one responsible for the ‘brand new’ hole in her torso, the Eighth Finger of the Demonic hand whose hand was still raised as he just finished casting a death-hollow magic spell.

“Tsk…didn’t get her in one hit, seems her gravity distortion barrier is a passive that does not consume her own energy. My hollow bullet’s power was reduced by half when it got within a few metres of her.”

[You can finish her off while they are still in shock, I’d send out more undead.]

Dominik in response to Zacular’s words, was about to take a step forward only to feel a sharp pain in his chest, causing him to drop down on one knee.

[Dominik?!]

“…Backlash? She actually managed to break my domain?!”

He turned his head towards Eliza’s direction, locking gazes with the battle priestess whose life aura was far more dense and powerful than before, despite the fact that she was supposed to be weaker after having sustained her domain for so long.

The two undead knight corpses at her feet that were slowly melting under her domain instantly let Dominik realise what just happened.

[She killed them and became a superior stage!]

Indeed, Eliza had successfully reached the final stage of the master level, taking advantage of the momentary burst of power and Dominik’s distracted state to force his domain back and even manage to break a part of the network of energy that made it up.

Of course, the only backlash Dominik felt was just a sharp pain, showing she really did not do much, but it was enough for Dominik to reach the limits of tolerating her.

“Shadow Knight.”

A masked light-armoured undead knight with two short swords at its hips emerged from the domain around Dominik and silently dropped to one knee.

“Kill the girl.”

Upon receiving the command, the shadow knight nodded and leaned backwards, falling on the ground and melding into its own shadow.

Travelling through the various shadows cast on the ground, the grandmaster-level undead crossed the distance between Dominik and Eliza within mere seconds, arriving within a hundred metres of her as it began condensing magic power around the blade in its right hand.

However, it let out a surprised voice as the eyes of the cat on the girl’s shoulder turned his gaze in its direction and locked eyes with it.

Half a second later, it found itself forcefully ejected from the shadow of the holy knight it was in, its inferno sights narrowing slightly before swinging its sword and beheading the poor knight.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl as the holy knight’s head flew off its neck and slowly began descending towards the ground.

His boosted life force was useless against instant beheading, but it kept the knight conscious to see the events that played out within the next five seconds.

Dozens of shadowy appendages stretched out towards the shadow knight but its death energy-coated sword cut through all of them with ease.

The shadow knight then unsheathed its second blade and coated it with death energy before flinging it in the direction of the lightning spirit that was charging towards it from afar.

Kayla who had unknowingly taken distance from Eliza’s position and was trying to return upon sensing the shadow knight, was momentarily stopped in her tracks by the shadow knight’s sword, along with the large mass of death energy swirling around it.

A sphere of black light appeared in the air and was about to release a blindingly fast beam of dark light, but the shadow knight’s reaction was faster, instantaneously launching a dozen death energy spears towards Kuro’s ‘Brightest Shadow’, piercing through the sphere and forcefully cancelling it out, momentarily stunning the shadow spirit.

Next was a burst of death energy that knocked back all the paladins who were around Eliza, with magic spears of the same energy being launched at the ones who stood their ground.

The paladins who were weaker than normal after having spent the past hour passing their energy into Eliza to help her heal thousands of combatants, took longer than usual to deal with the shadow knight’s magic.

Eliza herself did not just sit back like a damsel in distress to be protected, instantly activating her flower cannon skill behind her, at the same instant she generated five translucent barriers of light in front of her.

Sadly, the shadow knight had expected her to at least ‘do something’ to protect herself, so it was not caught off guard and calmly swung down its death energy-laden sword, releasing a projected slash that sliced through Eliza’s hastily made barriers with relative ease.𝗈𝓋𝐋xt.𝒸𝑂𝑀

Eliza had tried to use the barriers to buy time for her flower cannon to charge up, but that plan was rendered void when she saw the projected slash tearing through her barriers like paper.

Right before it sliced through her last barrier and just when she let Kuro’s shadows drag her body out of the way to make her dodge the slash, the translucent barrier was suddenly infused with more energy than Eliza’s maximum amount.

**BOOOMMM!!!!

The slash collided with the strengthened barrier at the same instant that the severed holy knight’s head dropped to the ground and life went out of his eyes.

[What?!]

The shadow knight let out a confused voice, its inferno sights widening in shock as it truly did not expect a miracle to happen at the last moment and save Eliza’s life.

[Wait…that energy is not hers!]

It believed it was Eliza who strengthened the barrier with life energy, however, it realised a second later that although it was the same life energy Eliza used, its source was different.

In the next second, the barrier transformed into a giant palm construct of green light that grabbed the shadow knight’s body and squeezed tightly.

**SQUELCH!!

A bizarre sound rang out as the shadow knight’s body, accompanied by the undead creature’s screams as the sheer amount of life energy in the energy construct squeezing it was too much for even a grandmaster-level undead to take.

The energy construct then burst into green flames, and within a few seconds, the body of the grandmaster-level shadow knight became ashes that were blown away by the wind.

Everyone nearby was naturally shocked by this strange occurrence, they looked towards Eliza but the look of shock on her face told them she was not the reason.

Her eyes then narrowed a moment later as she turned her gaze into the sky, just in time to catch the figure of a man who was looking straight at her, right before his body was covered by a passing dark cloud.

“…Uncle…”

The battle priestess muttered to herself as she recognized the identity of the man floating in the sky.

As for the man himself, he turned his gaze towards the direction where the Gravity Mage who now had a hole in her torso was being healed by a mage while her party members surrounded her to protect her.

A fleeting glance was thrown in Dominik’s direction as he saw the Deathlord being attacked by a certain troll emperor, with two A-rank adventurer corpses laying not too far from their location.

“The Mage first, I guess.”
