Reincarnated Hero System

Wyverns. Estimated levels: At least 360.

The appearance of the Wyverns had the Military Commanders send orders for the A-rank level combatants in reserve to prep themselves to join the fray.

They certainly were not foolish enough to throw out all their forces in one go, so naturally, there were adventurers, mercenaries and soldiers who were in reserve.

It was a unanimous decision between the Brigadier General, the City Defence Force Vice-Marshal, and the Internationally Famous S-rank Adventurer party who were in charge at the command centre to call upon them now.

But just as they agreed on that, a transformation gripped the skies as a thick blanket of clouds suddenly shrouded the bright afternoon sun.

“What?! Rain?!”

All of them agreed without question, that rain falling at this juncture was among the worst possible things that could happen.

Fire Mages who had great destructive power with their spells would effectively become useless, lightning mages would also have to cut back on their spells for fear of accidentally electrocuting allies with AOE attacks.

The ground would turn swampy, combatants might have their feet stuck and many other problems.

All these potential problems passed through the head of the Brigadier General in a flash, and just as the man began racking his brain to think of anything, a loud voice suddenly boomed across a large portion of the Buffer Zone.

[My Dearest Wyvern friends who are just joining us, did you get the weather forecast today? It’s Cloudy with a chance of Rain.]

The voice preceded the sound of rumbling thunder, after which rain began pouring from the sky.

But it wasn’t water that rained down, but fire and lightning.

[“Multi-Combination Magic: Infernovolt Rain.”]

The clouds churned and rumbled, spitting out bolts of searing lightning wreathed in swirling tongues of crimson flames.

These projectiles lanced down from the heavens towards the newly emerging wyverns, striking the creature’s wings with frightening accuracy.

In the same instant of contact with their targets, the twin elements ignited, converging in a fiery explosion that rent the skies with explosions.

[Wow, it’s twice as powerful than it was in theory.]

“Indeed, it is.”

The two responsible for this spell, and the Tier 4 Magic circles spinning in the skies behind the obscuring shroud of dark clouds, spoke casually as they watched the wyverns crash down to the ground after losing their wings.

Some were even unlucky and were hit with multiple bolts on the head, and the simultaneous explosion sent a wave of experience points in the direction of the two perpetrators.

“Thanks for the help, Artemisia.”

[You’re Welcome.]

The clouds covering the skies and obscuring the Combination Magic spells in the sky from being seen by the airborne monsters which obviously weren’t natural, were the handiwork of Artemisia.

Given that Aidos was under her domain, it was a walk in the park for her to alter the weather in a certain area, and there were no rules stating she could not add a bit of magic obscuring clouds if she wanted.

On a side note, she also made sure there would be a 0% chance of rain, for the same reasons as those of the Brigadier General.

Anyway, the help she offered Evan did not end there.

She had locked on to the magic signature on the Wyverns, part of the reason why the World Isolation Barrier ignored the monsters from the dungeons, and with the help of Evan’s Track Down skill, the Infernovolts raining from the sky only targeted the monsters and did not accidentally strike any of the mages and adventurers who were flying.

With all these factors combined, Evan had successfully routed the first wave of Wyverns that emerged from the dungeon, even succeeding in killing some of them as well.

“Sup, my fellow A rankers. It’d be in your best interest to steer clear from me as what I’m about to do would make the next wave of wyverns come at me like I killed their mothers.”

Evan, from atop his void step, spoke to the other A rankers who were fighting airborne battles with winged serpents and flying lizards, stretching out his hand to send an energy blast of lightning towards one of the monsters that attacked him from behind.

Kayla who was on his shoulder, snapped her fingers and activated her Electroflame, blooming a rose of fire on the winged serpent’s head in the same instant that Evan’s energy blast hit it.

With the explosion and subsequent death of the monster as a backdrop, Evan casually continued speaking to them, throwing in a self-introduction in the mix.

‘It’s time to make an impression on the world as the ‘Irregular Evan’.’

He thought that as he looked at the A ranker who was descending towards where he presumed was the command centre of operation on the city wall, before opening his inventory and infusing magic power into his voice.

‘Now, let’s max out the Intimidation effect.’

“?!”

“!!”

“??!”

All the grandmaster-level existences on the battlefield instantly felt a sharp chill down their spines, their attentions being attracted by the essence of destruction Evan had infused into his intimidation skill.

The effect was clear for all to see, as even some of the frenzied monsters momentarily turned towards him, before quickly returning to their battles right after.

Evan didn’t care about those ones though, as his main targets were the newly emerging blue-scaled wyverns that roared with ferocity.

They quickly flapped their wings and tried to beeline toward their comrades who were being mobbed by A-rank adventurers after their wings had been blown off by Evan’s sky-scraper-crumbling explosions.

However, the boy’s intimidation effect focused on them diverted their attention just as quickly.

And as soon as Evan got the attention he wanted, he dipped his hand into his inventory and pulled out a corpse.

It was one that some of the Demonic Hand Senior members who were watching from afar even recognized, as they had seen that particular form in the past.

It was the corpse of the Demonic Wyvern Craitid, with his head held in one hand, and the rest of his corpse held in another.

All the S rankers present quickly realised with a glance, that the corpse of that monster in Evan’s hand was not something that was within the realm of grandmasters like them.

Even if the creature was dead, the residual energy coming from it was still enough to tell them that much.

[Hey, you overgrown lizards! Your friend over here put up quite a bit of a fight before I turned him into a trophy. And a side snack too, wyvern wings are a lot tastier than I expected.

I was wondering where I’d get more of them; thankfully, you guys offered yourselves up.]action

Wyverns were intelligent monsters, and like most monsters at the grandmaster level, they were more than capable of understanding the speech of sentient humanoids and also capable of speaking too.

Naturally, they understood that Evan was insinuating they were all nothing more than snacks, and him holding up another wyvern’s corpse did not make matters any better.

“RROOAARR!”

“GRRRRAAAWWLL!”

“SCCREEEAAACH!”

Roaring out in rage, the wyverns enveloped their bodies in aura and magic power before charging towards Evan at near-sonic speeds.

“That fool!”

“We gotta help him!”

“Someone get that kid out of there!!”

Naturally, the adventurers who could tell the strength of these creatures and knew they were a bit stronger than the first wave, all thought Evan was seeking death.

“Let’s keep this within 5 minutes.”

Evan muttered as he tossed Craitid back into his inventory and activated his Blessing of Destruction skill, causing his aura to surge, signifying the overall power boost he had just received.

Even the adventurers who were coming to his aid were dumbfounded by this sudden power increase, along with that feeling of dread that the essence of destruction gave them.

One of the blue-scaled wyverns who was upfront in the charge noticed this power increase, but it gritted its teeth and sent more magic power to its tail, beating its wings and spinning its body around at the last moment.

Its barbed tail coated in dense magic power was swung towards Evan, but the boy’s body faded out like a mirage when it hit.

‘Such speed?! Where did he go?!’

The monster’s thoughts were answered in the next moment when it suddenly felt something grip its tail tightly with enough force to stop its body’s motion.

“Wh-what?!”

Evan tightened his grip around the wyvern’s tail and spun his body the void step he was standing on, slamming the huge mass into that of another wyvern that had been heading toward it with breakneck speed.

He heard something that sounded like the sound of bones breaking, but he paid it no mind as he held up his palms and unleashed energy blasts in the direction of the two monsters.

Since his energy blast skill fell under the category of ‘destructive’ skills, it enjoyed all the boosts from his Destructive Energy Circuit and BoD.
