Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 613 Evan’s Dread

[Crimson Fulgur.]

The woman didn’t even hesitate to activate her Unique Skill, swinging her spear down as a giant blood-red lightning glaive of celestial energy manifested from the tip of her spear and swept across the entire area.

“Barrier!!”

“Elemental Shield”

“Crystal Wall!”

“Earthen Guard!”

**BOOMM!!!

Kethryllia’s’ spear, without regard for their efforts, cleaved through all their defensive spells and techniques with ease as If they weren’t even there.

The attack was slowed down considerably, but that didn’t mean much when you considered her lightning-fast attack speed.

However, despite this; despite the fact that the sheer amount of power she poured into the attack was enough to deal with her targets in their weakened states, Kethryllia did not feel any feedback.

Or rather, she felt some feedback, but it was far too little.

She waved her hand to clear the dust and smoke, revealing the appearance of the two Heroes who were breathing heavily, down on their knees.

‘How did-? Perhaps, teleportation? No, there was something else. I sensed demonic energy as well.’

Her gaze moved towards the two deadly sin siblings in the area, lingering a bit longer on Pride before she sighed and pulled back her spear.

[I don’t know or care how you survived, but there would not be a second time.]

Even as she spoke, she was already loading her spear with celestial energy, and by the time she was done, her hand had already motioned to swing it down.

|¬Hey, Kethryllia. Are you sure you wanna try killing us now?!¬|

Evan hurriedly spoke up, the strange nature of his voice that was currently infused with destruction essence at the moment making her reflexively flinch for a second.

It was just a second, but in that second that she stopped her movement, she lost the window of opportunity she had to deal with the two Heroes.

***DUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!

The loud sound of something impacting against the World Isolation Barrier rang out, and Evan’s lips curled up into a grin as he spoke.

|¬Your experience with Abigail should tell you what to expect when dealing with children of ‘The Five’.¬|

‘Shit!’

Kethryllia thought she had fortified the barrier enough, hence the reason she had left it and came here, but the impact that just rang out didn’t sound good at all.

***DUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!

The whole of Lacertilia shook heavily, with the earth trembling so much that even Level 690+ adventurers on the brink of becoming Living Legends lost their balance and fell.

**CRRAAACCKKK!!!

Massive cracks spiderwebbed across the entirety of the dome-shaped barrier, riddling the barrier with fissures in nothing but a second.

Without hesitation, Kethryllia who initially attempted to cut her link to the World Isolation Barrier; made the split-second decision to instead release the entire barrier, but she wasn’t fast enough.

**BOOMMMMM!!

Something impacted against the barrier once more, and this time, the force was enough to shatter it completely.

The World Isolation Barrier was broken, so what would happen to the person who had cast the barrier?

[GAAAHHHH!!!]

Like every mage whose spell was broken mid-way, she received backlash.

Hers was even worse, as it wasn’t just any spell that was broken, but a ‘World Magic’ spell.

The same way her aura had covered the entire area earlier, this time, a massive presence that seemed to cover the world descended upon Lacertilia.

All the remaining monsters in the city were forced down onto the ground and crushed underneath the pressure.

The energy of the World Law of Gravity coalesced around their bodies and squashed them with force, turning them all into misshapen pieces of bone, flesh and blood.

Be it level 200 or Level 400; from the dungeon or summoned later by Faldo; it did not matter. All the monsters were squashed together.

Evan suddenly sensed a presence right next to him, and when he looked up, there was a burly lion beastman standing there, with the half-dead corpse of a Demonic Fused senior member from the Sixth Division in his hand.

“How are you, your highness?”

The man spoke to David with a polite tone that did not match his appearance, startling the boy lightly as his brain hadn’t even processed the man’s presence yet.

“Oh! Uncle Dandeyr. I’m fine, handle the others quickly.”

The man, Sovereign Dandeyr Eladi, a distant relative of Beast King Kolvar, nodded lightly before summoning the energy of the World Law of Gravity once more.

It wasn’t like Evan’s destruction aura that was just a normal aura attributed with the properties of the law of destruction, but the genuine bona fide law energy itself.

Infusing a bit of his consciousness into his aura, Dandeyr spread it out in waves, scanning the entirety of Lacertilia in seconds and locking down on any presence with Demonic Energy traces on them.

He then held out his right hand and ‘pressed down’ on the air before turning to David and saying.

“Done. All Demonic Hand members in the City have been subdued.”

Evan turned towards the man dumbfoundedly, with an expression that asked the question he didn’t voice out.

“Just like that?”

Indeed, it was just like that.

The power gap between the Intermediate Sovereign Dandeyr and the Peak Grandmaster/Inferior Epic Senior Members was just too great.

All he needed to do was just to lock onto them and then use the law of gravity to dramatically increase the strength of gravity in the selected areas.

Any objects or persons there would be slammed onto the ground unceremoniously and rendered immobile.

“Good. Now, deal with her as well.”

David spoke while pointing at Kethryllia who was breathing heavily while using her spear to prop herself up and keep her body from falling to the ground.

But before Dandeyr took action, someone landed on the ground in front of them, before charging towards the Demonic Hand Executive.

Evan recognized her.

It was Selah Herrera; Princess Malaya’s personal guard.

Her sword was coated in spatial attributed magic power and her unique skill was active as she blitzed towards Kethryllia so fast Evan could only see her movements as a blur.

However, also in that same moment that she made contact with the ground, that same moment that Evan caught sight of her appearance, he also sensed it.

His whole body trembled instinctively.

His Series skill began resonating.

His Hero title activated on full overdrive.

The Reincarnated Hero System ‘Survival Enhancement Mode’ Activated automatically.

Danger Sense began blaring alarms in his head, telling him to ‘GET THE FUCK OUT’ as fast as possible.

With the loudest voice he could muster, the boy shouted out to Selah who was about to attack Kethryllia.

|¬STOP!!!!!!!!!!!¬|

His voice, infused with the essence of the law of destruction, had a double grating effect, ringing out both in one’s ears and in their head at the same time.

It also held a commanding tone that made Selah cease her movements mid-sword swing.

*TAP!

“?!”action

Selah’s eyes widened in shock when she sensed it.

Someone’s hand was touching her sword.

Her sword which was coated in dense spatial magic power that could cut through space itself, was being held by someone’s bare hands.

**CCRACK!!

Effortlessly, the fair and slender arm broke the blade of her sword off its hilt, before proceeding to squeeze it and shatter it to pieces.

Selah’s instincts and intuition told her she had two options.

Run, or DIE.

Naturally, she embraced the first one.

*VUP!!

The woman teleported back a dozen metres, her eyes locked onto the person who had suddenly appeared in front of Kethryllia.

Even Dandeyr showed surprise, as even he did not sense that person’s presence.

David blinked once, and suddenly someone was standing in front of Kethryllia, holding the woman’s body that fell forward unconscious.

“…Evan…what the hell is going on?

What on Aidos, is ‘that’?”

Evan had shouted at Selah to ‘stop’ when the cat beast woman charged at Kethryllia earlier. This meant that he knew something was about to happen, and stopped her to save her life.

“Didn’t I tell you earlier? No matter what we did here today, Kethryllia Keasatra will NOT die today.”

Certainly, Evan had said something like that earlier.

And now, looking at the person in front of them, all his companions could understand why.

It was a purple-haired woman, dressed in a casual pair of black shorts, a white shirt, a black jacket and similarly coloured cap and boots.

Her appearance was one that resembled someone taking a stroll on a summer afternoon.

When she turned around and looked at the lot in front of her, they finally got a good look at her.

When she looked at them with those X-cross-shaped pupils of hers, everyone felt like she was looking right through them.

She was beautiful, terrifyingly so.

A beauty everyone present saw as dangerous.

After all, they could all feel it.

Her aura.

Her imposing presence that overshadowed even that of the Sovereign Dandeyr.

The sheer amount of magic power and demonic energy that rolled off her body, so dense it distorted the space around her.

David’s hair didn’t need to stand on end for him to know the danger.

He didn’t even need his hero title or appraisal to tell him who she was.

He could tell instinctively.

Everyone in the know could tell.

They wished that it wasn’t what they were thinking, but as if to crush that futile hope, David’s lips parted to speak three words.

Three words that best described what the entity they were looking at was.

“Peak Ranked Demon.”
