Reincarnated Hero System



The man jumped back to take distance from the explosion as he sensed that the energy from the explosion seemed 'off', courtesy of the debuffs that Eliza had infused into her cutting wave.

Even so, Eliza was undeterred by this.

She spun her body around to generate momentum before launching her spear in the direction of the Fake Hero.

'It's not fast enough.'

That realization struck her the instant she threw the spear—it wasn't fast enough to achieve the effect she sought.

Without hesitation, Eliza kicked off the ground while applying speed and acceleration buffs on herself, catching up to the spear and spinning her body around once more.

She delivered a straight kick to the butt of the spear, propelling it forward and tripling the force with which it hurtled through the air, enabling it to achieve transonic speed!

**BOOMM!!!

A deafening noise resonated as the dozen earthen walls of magic conjured by the Fake hero were pulverized nearly instantly, but that did little to reduce the speed of the spear.

Nevertheless, the fake hero was an Epic Level existence.

Just because he put up defences, didn't mean he was afraid of the attack, but was simply a strategic choice.

It was just a situation of even if he could tank it with his durability, why should he when there was the option of defending?

But seeing as the defences he put up were neutralized, he heaved a light sigh and rose his right hand.

With a little bit of effort, he caught the transonic speed spear in his hand, the demonic energy coating his palm and fought for dominance against the ether imbued in the spear.

Debuffs of all kinds threatened to latch onto him, but he roused his energy and forcefully dispelled them, noting that this was only possible because Eliza had let go of the spear.

'If she was still actively channelling energy into this, her debuffs would have actually afflicted me!'

His eyes widened in realization of this fact, once again confirming that the abilities of this battle priestess, were far higher than he and the Demonic Hand had estimated.

'No wonder Lord Eighth hunted down and killed the previous wielder of the 'Child of Life' skill.

They're too dangerous.

I can feel my life force being contaminated just by merely holding this.'

Eliza's life manipulation abilities were simply too dangerous to be underestimated.

Seeing as the spear was her main weapon, the Fake Hero wanted to place it in his magic pouch to deprive her of it, but he then noticed the Spear had markings he found Familiar.

'This…it's the same as Lady Seventh!

This spear is a Vanquisher series weapon?! If so, I don't dare to place that in my magic pouch!'

Unbeknownst to him, the effect he was scared of was only something that was applicable to Phase 2 Vanquisher weapons, but the Fake hero was naturally unaware that Eliza's Memoria was still in Phase 1.

He chucked the spear aside, using enough force that it was sent flying hundreds of metres away, travelling all the way over to where the S-rank adventurers in the distance were.

One of them nearly got impaled in the head by the spear, and if it wasn't for his sharp senses and quick reflexes, he may have met his death!

Without paying any mind to the fact that he nearly killed an unsuspecting S ranker with that action, the Fake Hero rose the sword in his left hand to counter the next set of attacks Eliza sent his way.

Eliza grabbed one of the short spears hovering behind her, imbuing it with Life Ice before throwing it.

Then she threw the next after imbuing it with light magic, the next after imbuing it with another set of debuffs, and the last with water magic.

The Fake Hero didn't dare catch them for fear of what strange debuffs she applied, swinging his sword to knock the spears away.

**BANG! BANG!!! BAMM!!!

The first one was knocked away easily with a swing of his aura-enhanced blade, the next with another casual swing, but by the third he noticed the force behind the spears had increased.

As for the fourth, He didn't attempt to strike it down and jumped out of the way at the last moment.

***BOOOOMMM!!!!

The spear struck the earth behind him with a resounding impact, sending tremors through the ground.

A deafening explosion erupted from the point of impact and the earth trembled beneath the power, leaving behind a smouldering crater as evidence of its destructive might.

'I knew hitting it was a bad idea!

This girl's power has reached S rank levels already!'

The Fake Hero made the assumption as he blocked the combination attack of the two spirits, waving his hands and drawing a third-tier darkness magic circle in the air.

Another explosion rang out, and the Fake Hero actually dashed through the explosion, his body coated in a defensive aura as he blitzed towards Eliza.

Seeing the incoming threat, the battle priestess slammed her hands on the ground and manifested a gigantic flower shoot with vines wrapping around it.

Immediately after, magic power concentrated on the flower bud as it bloomed and launched a beam of concentrated magic power from an opening of the petals.

The beam carved the ground as it beelined towards the Fake Hero, but the ash-haired man only snorted and swung his sword downwards.

This simple-looking action released a devastating slash of demonic energy that surged forth tremendously, splitting the beam of magic in two and going on to do the same to the flower cannon that fired it.

**BOOM!!

Flames licked the air, engulfing the surroundings in a fiery inferno. The force of the explosion sent dirt and debris flying in all directions, creating a chaotic whirlwind of destruction.

The ensuing plume of smoke obscured his vision and the Fake Hero momentarily lost sight of Eliza, however, his instincts screamed out to him, sending warning bells of the impending source, or rather, sources of danger.

His senses captured four projectiles heading towards him at sonic speed, and he made the split-second decision to kick off the ground and jump into the air to avoid them.

Just when he thought the four projectiles would collide with each other, they changed directions at the last moment and followed him to the skies.

The four gleaming projectiles covered with dense ether emerged from the smoke, allowing him to see their appearances.

'The short spears she threw earlier! As expected, she's not stupid to discard her weapons without a means of making them come back.'

He readied his sword to attack, only to notice a small pale blue flame appearing in front of him.

'Shit!'

He hurriedly wrapped his body in a spherical shield of demonic energy, just in time for all the oxygen and hydrogen molecules around him to rapidly concentrate.

And when ignited by the blue flame, a blinding flash of light illuminated the surroundings.

**KABOOOM!!!

The air erupted with a thunderous roar, sending shockwaves rippling through the atmosphere.

A streak of black light shot out of the explosion, straight towards the spirit that caused it and grabbed her neck faster than she could react.

"Milena!"

Eliza's worried voice rang out but the battle priestess was too far away to do anything.

The Fake hero effortlessly plunged his sword into the Water Spirit's chest and infused demonic energy into the blade, before pulling it out and tossing her body to the side like a dirty rag.

His body was covered in bruises and burns, showing that the oxyhydrogen explosion had actually dealt a lot of damage.

Plus, he had two stab wounds courtesy of Eliza's spears, and he noticed that there seemed to be something interfering with his regeneration.

'Tsk…I messed up.'

He wiped the blood that trickled off his face, mixing with sweat before scanning the battlefield for the shadow spirit.

On the other hand, Eliza hurriedly switched to support mode, and consumed her last charge of Child of Life on Milena, attempting to heal the spirit before her life faded.

"n..o…"

Before Milena could get the words out, the Fake hero had already appeared behind Eliza, swinging his sword infused with enough energy to flatten everything within kilometres.

Kuro appeared, activating five skills and magic simultaneously, shrouding the area in a cloak of obscurity, plunging the surroundings into a realm of perpetual twilight.

However, before the skills could be deployed fully, the Fake hero grinned evilly as he spoke.

"Got you."

He spun his body and delivered a kick that smashed through Eliza's barrier and sent the battle priestess flying, before unleashing a third-tier spell.

Darkness gathered and swirled in a concentrated mass, and then erupted in a powerful explosion with a resounding boom.

The dark light projectile swords shooting towards him were engulfed, and the force of the blast shattered nearby objects and sent shockwaves rippling through the ground, leaving behind a scene of desolation.

When the explosion died down, the Fake Hero saw the shadow spirit lying on the ground weakly, about to take a step towards it when he noticed the skies suddenly turn dark.

Looking up, he saw a gigantic magic circle that sent chills down his spine just by merely looking at it.

"How the fuck does he know that spell?!"
