Reincarnated Hero System

"Esoteric Ice Magic: Freezing Field."

The tip of the girl's staff which was pointed towards the incoming monster, released a stream of energy that formed a two-ringed cobalt green magic circle, with a third ring glitching in and out of existence.

A wave of cold energy was released from her body, spreading omnidirectionally and drastically reducing the already low temperature of the surroundings.

Next, dozens of explosions began occurring at random points within the area of effect, blasting apart random monsters that unfortunately happened to be nearby, and succeeding in blowing off four of the Cephrodite's tentacle limbs.

[GUOOO!!]

The monster roared in pain as it swung three of the remaining limbs coated in an ominous purple layer of energy towards Eliza, however, the girl did not make any attempt to block.

Before the tenacles could even reach her, a dozen thin lines of golden light flashed across them. A second later each tentacle had been sliced and diced into thirteen nearly equal pieces.

Evan shot forward, the ring of light on his arm granting him immunity to the ice explosions as he infused more energy into his elemental projected weapon and released a slash towards the root of the monster's tentacles.

However, the creature reacted quickly, twisting its massive frame out of the way and sending pressurized streams of purple liquid towards him.

'Elemental Shield.'

A spherical barrier of ice surrounded Evan's body at the last moment, right before he was bathed in purple poison that melted the ice he protected himself with faster than he could infuse it with energy.

Not wanting to know the effects of this particular Cephrodite's poison, Evan shot out of the affected area and rose his left hand, summoning a dozen massive swords with the weapon projection skill and launching them with the force of torpedoes.

It should be noted that despite this, icy explosions were still occurring as Eliza's spell was still in effect, and would only stop after exactly 150 icy explosions had occurred.

Eliza dismissed the notifications in her field of vision, not caring about the other unfortunate monsters that had been caught up in her AOE spell.

She watched as Evan's projected weapons crashed down on the parts of the Cephrodite's' body where explosions were about to happen, with the young hero studying the flow of energy and spotting the point of the explosion and sending the projected weapon there a second before they happened.

**BOOOM!!! BOOOOMM!!

Explosions of ice rocked the body of the Cephrodite who let out an enraged roar before using magic to forcefully regenerate all its severed serpentine limbs and launch them towards Evan.

"Wait what?! My life ice should make it unable to regenerate so easily…"

"The monsters here are resistant to Esoteric abilities."

"That so…let's see how it's gonna resist this."

As Eliza spoke, she roused her energy and activated Child of Life, consuming one skill charge and shooting through the water, heading straight for the incoming Cephrodite.

It launched a dozen pressurized streams of poison towards her but she most of them narrowly, using her barrier to block some as she reached its gargantuan body and stabbed her weapon's spear tip on its scale.

*KANG!!

Much to her surprise, the Memoria bounced off the Creature's scale, leaving only a few scratches.

But before she could even say a thing, Evan appeared beside her and rose his hand up, activating a skill he had stolen from Vazgan close to a year ago.

'Vindiction's Strike.'

A portal of dark gold energy opened up and launched a condensed beam of golden magic power onto the creature's head, smashing through its scales and blasting apart its flesh.

As the creature roared in pain, Eliza swam to its head and stabbed the Memoria into the injured flesh, infusing the life essence directly into its body and activating 'Anti Regeneration'.

She then consumed another charge and slammed her palm on its body once more, using 'Stat Reduction' on its Health Stat.

Before she could do the same to its durability, Evan's warning came in and a chain of golden energy wrapped around her torso and pulled her away, mere moments before the creature's black blood that filled the area she was in began bubbling.

"Thanks."

"No biggie."

Evan replied and deactivated his Everlasting Chains skill, projecting another dozen swords and launching them as projectiles towards the Cephrodite.

"Divergent Wards."

Tiny barriers of green light appeared in front of the Weapon's paths, and as the weapons seamlessly phased through these barriers, they all doubled in size and energy, gaining a ribbon of life essence swirling around them.

They also gained increased speed that allowed them to reach the Cephrodite faster than it had expected.

"Hollow Magic: Hollow Cannon."

While it was writhing in pain having a few limbs blasted off, Evan launched a massive bolt of super condensed non-attributed magic power towards it.

The creature showed its adept manoeuvring abilities and twisted its body to avoid the Hollow Cannon, but Evan snapped his fingers and made It explode the moment that the Cephrodite dodged it.

**KABOOOM!!!!

Shockwaves spread oud omnidirectionally, knocking Evan and Eliza back by a few metres, but they flipped around and regained their balance before charging towards the Cephrodite again.

The creature swung its serpentine limb towards them, but its speed was noticeably slower, an effect of the Life Ice used in Eliza's initial magic attack.

They dodged it effortlessly, and Evan's sword arm slashed through the water at breakneck speed, slicing the limb to pieces with freakish movements.

'Ice blast.'

Eliza launched a simple Tier 2 Spell as the stump of the limb, using her life Ice in an attempt to further wound the creature, and increase the debuff effects of her life ice (Slows movement & attack speeds, lowers maximum vitality values & health regeneration, and reduces the durability of affected areas.)

'Endless Ice Fangs'

More magic power was consumed to generate over a hundred spiky green icebergs, with numerous icicles that inflicted, blunt, cutting and piercing damage all at once.

"Ha!"

With a shout, Eliza launched all these icebergs at the Cephrodite who roared and generated ice magic circles of its own, launching massive chunks of singular spiked ice that smashed the icebergs to bits.

'Blade Cannon.'

Evan launched dozens of fist-sized aura bullets, each group accompanied by a slash of his golden aura that perforated the Cephrodite's tentacles and riddled it with holes.

It tried to use magic to regenerate once more, but Eliza's Anti-Regen stopped it from working, much to the creature's surprise as its regeneration magic circles kept breaking apart midway.

[GUOO!!]

Understanding that either Evan or Eliza had done something to it, it roared loudly before barrelling towards them with its full speed, however, due to Eliza's life ice, it was much slower than before.

And if Evan and Eliza could dodge it when it was at top speed, they were obviously capable of doing so when it was lower.

Evan activated paladin and used a void step to boost himself through the water, changing directions midway to throw off the monster while Eliza sent a few Cutting Waves to its limbs, severing two more of them and reducing the monster down to eight left.

With another roar, dozens of deep purple magic circles appeared around the Cephrodite, and from them, multiple crocodiles composed of poison, with sharp teeth capable of chewing through a human body with ease, emerged and swam towards Evan.

The monster then swung all of its remaining serpentine limbs towards Eliza, once from each side, intending on capturing her in a pincer attack.

Evan created an ice bow of pure magic power with his skill, taking aim and releasing arrows of light that froze all the poison crocs to Ice, while Eliza decided to break out a Tier 3 spell.

'Let a chilling breeze blow across this, sending it into a deep freeze.

When this spell is through, then my target shall be frozen.'

A massive magic circle with a diameter the size of a football pitch appeared around her, with the Cephrodite pulling its limbs back as it instantly sensed the danger.

Especially after it noticed that this circle, had three rings of light surrounding it.

Sadly, Eliza's spell activation was faster.

"Ice Magic: Ice Nova."

The spell didn't even wait for her words to finish, releasing a blinding flash of light that disoriented the Cephrodite's senses and momentarily paralysed it, keeping it in place long enough for the spell to unleash its full might.

Eaves of ice surged forward omnidirectionally, encasing four out of its eight serpentine limbs in layers of spiked and jagged ice.

"Vortex."

A whirling mass of golden aura spiralled down from above, smashing through the layers of ice and shredding them to bits, along the four serpentine limbs that were trapped in the ice.

[GRROOUUUUOOOO!!!!!]

The monster released a roar of pain and swung its remaining four serpentine limbs towards Evam, a wide-ranging attack aimed forward but it failed to reach him.

Evan was not foolish enough to let that touch him after seeing the ominous purple light coating said limbs.
