Reincarnated Hero System

A little more than a while before Evan let Kayla vent her unprecedented frustrations on Terence by roasting the poor contractor of Greed with lightning, the conversation between the two Deadly Sin siblings had turned violent just as Pride had expected.

It had pretty much turned into a battle between the 'Power of Wealth' and the 'Power of Hubris', and from the trails of destruction that could be seen in their wake as they moved while fighting, one could tell that they were definitely not holding back at all.

If one saw them now, there was a high probability that they might even suspect that the siblings were trying to kill each other!

And the next set of actions taken by Pride would go a long way in cementing that belief.

"Wrath of flame."

The high demon casually called out with the wave of a hand, generating an omnidirectional wave of ferocious flames that turned all the grasses and trees around her to ash, its intensity increasing with each thing it burnt.

"Rising Meteor."

However, Greed just casually tapped his foot on the ground and spoke, manipulating the ground beneath him to erect a large star-shaped pillar.

The pillar shot rose up into the air, taking him off the ground where Pride's flames charred a second after.

Immediately after, Greed flicked his fingers and generated an intricate array of brown two-ringed magic circles behind him.

Another wave of his hands generated another complex array of green two-ringed magic circles in the air, a second before he activated them all simultaneously.

Dozens of earthen spears and wind blades rained down on Pride who just sighed softly before kicking off the ground, dashing towards Greed amidst the rain of magic.

The high demon moved like she was performing a sword dance, with the way that she easily weaved her way through the projectiles, dodging most of them, slicing apart the ones she could not dodge with her demonic energy-infused sword or her palm coated in aura, and either deflecting or blocking the rest with barriers of wind magic.

Greed showed no surprise, as he had expected this much from the elder sister he respected, silently summoning his own signature weapon and grabbing it tightly.

His weapon was naturally the Great Sword of Greed, Mammonas.

It was a black massive two-edged, two-handed sword with a massive blade measuring about 70 inches long and 8 inches thick.

The sword's brown handle was about 10 inches long, giving the weapon a total of 80 inches in length.

Despite its large size and equivalent weight, Greed casually lifted the sword like it was nothing, infusing it with demonic energy and taking a stance.

In the next moment, he kicked off the ground with enough force to shatter the earthen pillar he stood on, shooting towards Pride with his sword raised overhead.

**CLAAANNGG!!!

The sound of two metals clashing rang out as Pride hurriedly rose her own demonic energy-infused blade to block Greed's sudden attack, her arms trembling as the difference in physical strength between the two was too much.

'Tsk...'

Internally clicking her tongue, Pride titled her sword and let Mammonas slide off it, before spinning her body and delivering a horizontal slash towards Greed's neck.

However, the high demon let his blade fall to the ground, before raising his right arm and hitting the flat side of Vanitas with it, redirecting the sword's trajectory with brute strength and grabbing Pride with his other hand.

But his sister didn't let him get a hold of her, instantly releasing a burst of demonic energy that knocked him back by a few metres.

Greed flipped in the air and landed on the ground upright, before grabbing onto the ground with his right hand to prevent his feet from sliding across the ground.

Simultaneously, his left hand was outstretched towards his great sword, with the large weapon responding and flying back into his palm.

He immediately grabbed his sword and shot forward, dashing towards Pride and clashing with her demonic energy-infused blade.

The earth beneath their feet shattered, with shockwaves spreading into the surroundings, but the two paid this no mind, blitzing through the air as they clashed blades repeatedly.

Greed skilfully swung his great sword, with each strike powerful enough to deal heavy damage to Pride, however, his sister blocked his attacks, avoiding most of them as clashing with his large blade and high strength was not exactly the best idea.

She also retaliated, occasionally coating her sword in dark flames which she swung towards his limbs, though he blocked most of them with the flat side of his blade.

**BAMMM!!

Another clash of weapons between the two of them, generated shockwaves that sent them both flying into the air, however, they easily flipped their bodies and landed upright.

As if they had agreed on it beforehand, they took familiar stances while locking eyes with each other, their figures vanishing in the next moment as they shot through the air, dashing towards each other with trails of light behind them.

"Covetous Blade."

Greed sidestepped a bit to the right, before rapidly dashing to the left and swinging his demonic energy-coated sword in a wide horizontal arc.

Pride tilted her body slightly to adjust to Greed's sudden movement, calling out softly as she swung her sword in an upward arc.

"Origin Sword."

The two blades collided with a loud 'CLANG!', the resultant shockwaves from the clash going on to crater the ground within a fifty-metre radius of their weapons, with the resultant shockwaves spreading out to even longer distances.

However, they weren't done yet as Greed quickly pulled back his blade before thrusting forward multiple times.

Pride responded, spinning her body around and swinging her sword in a wide circular arc moving from left to right, blocking all of Greed's imminent frontal rapid sword thrusts in one fell swoop even though her body was knocked back a fair bit due to the force behind Greed's attacks.

In one fluid set of motions, Greed released a sword thrust that was blocked by Pride, reversing his grip on his blade before transitioning into a wide horizontal slash from his right side (Pride's left side).

He had expected this to catch Pride off guard, given that she was in no position to block as she had swung her sword from right to left (left to right for Pride).

His sharp eyes also caught her arms trembling despite the fact that they were strengthened with aura, something that was expected given his higher physical strength.

However, those same eyes also widened in shock when Pride suddenly used wind magic under her feet, giving her body a large boost which she used to flip into the air over his horizontal slash.

Nevertheless, he was not shocked for long, regaining his calm and immediately devising a means to use Pride's action against him.

'She's off balance. I can get her on the landing!'

With that thought, he coated his great sword in demonic energy and shaped the energy into a longer blade, extending its reach as he pulled it back while taking a stance.

The moment Pride's feet touched the ground, Greed slashed forward, his sword moving so fast it seemed like a blur.

Despite this, the high demon was shocked once again as Pride suddenly spread her legs in a wide-leg position, sliding them apart and dropping to the ground.

Naturally, Greed's horizontal slash went right over her head, missing her completely and instead causing Greed to be off balance as he had used a bit too much force.

The shockwave generated from the air pressure of his sword as it cut through the air, spread out in a wide area and carved the ground behind Pride in a semi-circular arc, creating a depression that was nearly a metre deep.

Pride paid no attention to this, placing a hand on the ground in between her legs on either side of her body to stop her movement, keeping her just a few centimetres short of performing a full split.

She then spun her body, delivering a sweeping kick that sent Greed off his feet and falling with his back to the ground with her left leg.

Her right leg wasn't idle as the moment Greed's body fell backwards, she readjusted the positions of her hands, allowing her to easily shoot her leg out and send a horse kick to his back with the back of her right leg.

Greed felt his body suddenly being sent flying into the air once more, crashing on the ground after a few seconds and rolling on the floor for a while.

He hurriedly tried to get up, with his hand stretching out to call his fallen sword when a shadow was suddenly cast above him.

He looked up and locked eyes with his sister whose weapon was risen overhead and was definitely intending on slashing downwards.

"Aura of Pride: Flames of Hubris."

Upon hearing that technique being called out, Greed gave a wry smile before taking an action that caused Pride's eyes to widen in shock.

Incarnation of Greed.
