Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 614 Vaeri Soliana Valren

The ranks of demons corresponded to their strengths.

For the world that Aidos' invaders came from:

Master Levels and Below were Low-Rank Demons.

Grandmasters and Epics were Lower and Upper Mid Rank Demons.

While Legendries and Sovereigns were High Ranks.

The Peak Rank was normally reserved for Transcendents.

However, there were special circumstances, when Sovereign Level Demons attained Peak Rank status.

In a way, these Peak Rank Sovereigns were actually more dangerous than their Transcendent counterparts.

Take the Deadly Sin Siblings for example. They were so strong that even Transcendents were wary of them.

The woman right in front of them was definitely a Sovereign, but the fact that she was Peak Rank showed she was just as nonstandard as the Deadly Sin Siblings.

Dandeyr's muscles bulged up, and his aura surged. The man was clearly on guard against this newly appearing demon, especially as he knew instinctively, that if it came down to a fight.

'I wouldn't win.'

No one needed to tell him that.

But despite the presence of a fellow Sovereign, the woman didn't seem bothered. In fact, when she glanced at Dandeyr, her eyes held indifference.

Evan understood why Dandeyr was on guard, but since he knew who this person was, he had to make sure that the Lion Beastman didn't do anything crazy.

And besides, he saw this as an opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, the boy bowed lightly and spoke words that shocked the shit out of everyone who heard.

|¬The 'Harbinger of Ice', greets the 'Harbinger of Space and Gravity'. ¬|

"""??!!"""

He called her a Harbinger!

A Series Skill holder.

And not just one, but two skills from the same series.

He was using style to inform those present, of what powers the woman held, as well as another terrifying fact for everyone who knew how Series Skills worked.

Series Skills Resonated with each other and empowered themselves, so when there were series skill holders nearby, both parties were empowered.

Evan and David were prime examples, as the two had exhibited power they did not originally possess due to their Resonance.

Of course, their Hero titles had a hand in this, but it was still Resonance all the same.

Anyway, it should be noted that what Resonated, were the 'Skills' themselves, not the wielders.

Meaning that even if both skills were in the same body, they would still Resonate.

Long story short, this woman was perpetually in a State of Self-Resonance and could exhibit more than 100% power at all times.

This wasn't taking into account the Pseudo-Authority that Kayla could sense from her, though.

After Evan spoke, the woman's attention turned towards him, and the pressure the boy felt from her gaze overwhelmed him.

'So, this is Vaeri Valren in person, huh? I was right to be wary.

And it frightens me to think 'that person' is even stronger than this…'

Vaeri silently looked Evan over, noticing the destruction essence the boy carried, as well as his Unique skill before asking.

"If I recall correctly, the Harbinger of Ice skill was supposed to be with that 'oversized bird' who nests near the house of that 'snake'."

Most of the people who heard what she said did not understand her fully, but Eliza and the spirits who followed Evan to Duscon quickly got the meaning of her words.

The 'Oversized bird' was Silverwing, and the 'Snake' was Hydran.

He was actually a kind of dragon but she didn't really care.

|¬Well, unfortunately. The 'Oversized Bird' is dead, and it seems the power chose me as its successor. ¬|

"Is that so?

Oh well, it doesn't really matter either way."

Indeed, to her, it didn't matter whether Evan was the Harbinger of Fire or Ice. From her point of view, he was still weak all the same.

Now then, considering that she was a Demon, obviously affiliated with the Demonic Hand whose plans Evan and David had majorly messed up by killing Faldo; one would expect she was going to try and take them out.

That was why Dandeyr was on his guard after all.

With her power, she could instantaneously create a singularity between Evan and David, and it would suck their bodies into it faster than Dandeyr could do anything.

But did she do it?

Nope, the thought didn't even cross her mind.

She was only here to retrieve Kethryllia, and that was all she was going to do.

Everything else didn't matter.

"Thagol."

"Yes, My Lady."

Kethryllia's contracted demon suddenly appeared in front of her, dropping down on one knee with his gaze facing the ground.

Vaeri cast a glance at him before properly carrying the unconscious Kethryllia and asking.

"Have you retrieved the items?"

"Yes, I have retrieved the nodes and the other items."

Thagol replied, confirming that all the spell nodes for the World Isolation Barrier that were still in place had been retrieved, along with everything Demonic Hand related in Lacertilia.

When she received this confirmation, Vaeri nodded before finally turning her gaze to the one person she hadn't looked at since she appeared here.

"Mistress Roselia."

Evan raised a brow in light surprise, confused about who she was talking to; but he quickly traced her gaze to the figure of the Demon of pride who wasn't standing too far from him.

'Pride's other name?'

"Ich zolle dem Oberbefehlshaber der Sündenlegion meinen Respekt."

Evan could almost see the question marks that appeared on the heads of those present as they did not understand what she said, and even more so when they saw this woman bow in Pride's direction.

"Ich nehme deine Begrüßung zur Kenntnis, Vaeri."

Pride replied to Vaeri's words, which were just her officially paying her respects to the 'Supreme Commander of the Sin Legion', using the same language of the world where the two demons first met over 1100 years ago.

Still, no one understood exactly what she said, except for Evan and David who possessed the Language Comprehension skill, Greed who had also learned that world's language when he was there, and for some reason, Kayla as well.

The moment Pride was done speaking, Vaeri raised her head before turning her gaze to the empty space beside her.

Her cross-shaped pupils lit up with a light glow, and the space in front of her distorted.

An X-cross-shaped tear in space manifested, breaking open into a full-blown spatial gate which she then proceeded to walk into with Thagol trailing behind.

She casually took the main Demonic Hand executive responsible for this entire incident away, and no one could say a thing about it.

No one dared to say anything.

When the Spatial gate closed up, silence pervaded the area, until Eliza broke it with a question.

"Who was that?"

The question was directed to Evan, the one person who knew beforehand that Vaeri was going to be present there.

In response, the boy turned to Pride and continued the analogy he was making earlier in the day when they were still in the Boss Room.

|¬If your younger sibling was in a place where she could have a Sovereign Level existence after her life, and you knew this beforehand, you'd naturally take action to protect them, wouldn't you? ¬|

"…of course."

|¬But what if you are occupied with something and cannot go in person, but happen to be contracted to the most powerful demon on the entire planet?

You'd send them instead, wouldn't you?¬|

The reason for Vaeri's presence was explained with his question. She was here to save Kethryllia, her contractor's younger sister.

But this then brought up another question.

"Who is Vaeri's Contractor?"

When Pride asked this question, Evan gave a wry smile while rubbing his arms, as if trying to get rid of the goosebumps he felt.

|¬Who else, but the person you've known I've been the wariest of. The one I called the 'Strongest Entity' and have avoided speaking about unless completely necessary.

The 'Second Finger of the Demonic Hand'. ¬|
