Reincarnated Hero System

**BOOOOMM!!!!

The sudden explosion at close proximity only made them run faster with the knights channelling their magic power to create a barrier that shielded the few remaining evacuating civilians.

Sadly, this barrier only served to last for a short moment as the shockwaves from the explosion shattered it to pieces and sent the bodies of the knights flying into the air.

They stabbed their swords into the ground to prevent themselves from being tossed into the air once more, but right before they could do anything else, they all suddenly lost all strength in their bodies and dropped to their knees weakly.

Even the people who were running for their lives suddenly lost the strength to move their legs, falling down to the ground with some getting injured as a consequence.

'This, the range is wider than the reports said!'

**BAAMM!!

Those were the thoughts of one of the knights, right before another loud noise rang out and dark storm clouds rapidly gathered above a certain part of the city.

In the next moment, a large golden bolt of lighting dropped to the ground, resulting in another loud explosion, with resultant shockwaves that shattered every bit of glass or similarly fragile materials in the area.

Protecting his weakened body with magic power, the knight looked up at the sky and was met with a sight that left him slack-jawed.

Streaks of gold and red flashed around in the sky, occasionally colliding with loud noises that sounded like thunder.

'Are they...flying?'

His assumption was not far off from reality, however, only one of them was flying, and that was Terence who was equipped with a flight artifact.

As for Evan, he was using the tall buildings in the area as a foothold to jump back into the air and attack Terence, while sometimes teleporting right in front or beside him to unleash attacks before teleporting out.

The contractor of Greed was armed with a plethora of artifacts, ranging from support to defensive and even attack-type artifacts, and he did not hesitate to use them.

So far, Evan hadn't actually dealt any major damage to Terence, as the man's defensive artifacts and sturdy armour had taken the brunt of it all for him.

They exchanged blows occasionally, with Evan having to enhance his body with paladin and coat his hands with aura, just to be able to match Terence's fists without breaking his own arm.

Normally, a C+ strength stat would not be able to match a B- so easily, but Evan's stat boosts made up for the difference.

Evan had also seen that the Tier 2 Earth magic that Terence possessed, wasn't just for show.

**BAMM!!

Terence's bare fist collided with Evan's aura-coated fist, with Terence grabbing Evan's arm with his other hand and flinging the young hero towards the ground.

Right after, he punched downwards in the empty air and screamed out.

"Terra's Rage!"

A two-ringed brown coloured magic circle manifested in front of the contractor of Greed's clenched fist, with enormous magic power simultaneously condensing on the floor in front of where Evan's body crashed.

The ground cracked open to reveal a gigantic earthen armoured arm-shaped construct, with a length of close to a hundred metres long.

The construct clenched its fist and punched down towards the body of the young hero, intending to crush him to smithereens.

"Elemental Shield!"

"Tsk..."

Terence didn't know what kind of ability 'Elemental Shield' was, however, the amount of energy he sensed gathering on the ground told him that it was definitely enough to counter his 'Terra's Rage'.

**BOOM!!!

There was a loud explosion of dust and dirt, with chunks of earth flying out in all directions as the gigantic earthen arm slammed into the ground in full force.

More than half of the buildings in that entire city block crumbled to the ground, joining the multitude of earthen chunks that filled the newly formed crater on the ground.

At the centre of this crater, one could see a brown spherical-shaped shield of earth-infused magic energy, surrounding the body of the surprised Hero of Mimicry.

The reason for his surprise, was the spider-web-like crack spread out from the point where the gigantic earthen arm had collided with the shield.

However, he quickly collected himself and generated a small wind orb in his arm which he released into the surroundings after deactivating the shield.

The orb exploded, creating a gust of wind that blew away all the dust clouds that obscured his vision, allowing him to see that the gigantic earthen arm wasn't done with him yet.

Although its fist was cracked and the amount of magic power in it had decreased, it still thundered down towards Evan with the force of a subway train.

Despite this, Evan wasn't even looking in the direction of the incoming attack, as his pupils darted around looking for Terence's figure in the air.

He didn't have to look for long, as the gigantic brown two-ringed magic circle floating in the air was very hard to miss.

'There.

Fire Magic: Prominence of Hell.'

The young hero flicked his fingers and two double-ringed red magic circles appeared, right before activating his concealment skill and hiding them from existence.

'I'm happy I learnt this from Pride.'

Evan thanked his stars as he kicked off the ground and dashed towards what was left of a nearby building, dodging the earthen fist that slammed down on his previous position as he ran up a fallen pillar while activating his paladin skill.

​ Reaching the tip, he crouched for a short moment, jumping up immediately after like a spring and shooting into the air.

Terence saw Evan's attempt to gain altitude and snorted, before manipulating his flight artifact with wind-infused magic power and flying higher into the sky.

However, Evan just grinned evilly before disappearing from his field of vision.

'?! His teleportation!'

Terence momentarily paused his spell casting and spread out a wave of aura, intending on sounding out Evan's position.

"...what?"
