Reincarnated Hero System

"Wait a sec, KuroOOEEEYOUCH!!!!"

Evan's scream of pain overshadowed the sound of the shadow spirit using his solidified shadows to snap the young hero's dislocated elbow and shoulder bones back into place.

In the next moment, Kayla forced one of the healing potion bottles into his mouth, before tossing the other one to Kuro who quickly poured it on the boy's injured arm.

Evan coughed and was about to speak once more, but suddenly widened his eyes in shock as his head turned towards the right.

"Elemental Shield!"

"Ice Crystal Shield!"

The young hero activated a skill and a spell with the two spirits simultaneously creating barriers of pure elemental energy right above his own.

**SWOOSHH!!!

All these actions were taken just in time to block the aura-coated gigantic great sword that cut through the clouds of smoke beside him and sliced down towards his body.

**BAMMM!!!

The familiar-looking massive two-edged, two-handed great sword, broke through the two elemental barriers created by the spirits, before going on to shatter Evan's ice shield spell and the spherical earthen shield behind it.

'Blink!'

Evan did not hesitate to activate his skill, teleporting about ten metres to the left, and dodging the large 70-inch-long blade that slammed into the ground where he was just a moment ago.

'Kayla! Kuro!

Blink!'

Just as he appeared after teleporting, he called out to his contracted spirits, transmitting his will directly to them and pulled back his left arm before using blink once again.

He reappeared right in front of the wielder of the great sword who suddenly found that they could not move after being restrained by dozens of shadowy tentacle-like appendages.

[Electroflame!]

"Fracture!"

Evan and Kayla activated their skills simultaneously, as a rose of flames bloomed on the side of their target's head, right before Evan's left fist slammed towards it.

Having the punch of a level 189 existence, enhanced with a skill with its damage tripled by the combined effect of another skill, slamming straight into one's head, was not an experience to be wished for.

Even if they were a level 195 existence with a 'C+' durability stat, that kind of attack was sure to take them down for the count.

One needed to remember that Kayla's skill was called 'Electroflame', meaning it was a multi-elemental attack of lightning and flames.

Coupled with the extra lightning from the synergy between Evan's fracture and the skill, the end result was sure to be an overloaded explosion that would burn off the entire right side of the target's face, and go on to crack their skull greatly, causing heaven knows how many brain contusions, with a high probability of the target instantly dying from having their entire head burst into pieces.

However, all these, are under the assumption, that the attack hits the target in the first place.

'?!

Kuro! Get back!'

Evan instantly pulled back his fist and called back the shadow spirit into his shadow, before jumping backwards while ejecting the remaining magic power in his arm as an orb of lightning and flames that shot forward to his target's unprotected torso.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he used his left hand to balance his body, before opening his inventory and pulling out three different potions.

He poured the contents of one onto his injured right arm and downed the other two as fast as he could, choking a bit due to how fast he drank the two liquids.

However, his gaze remained locked on the person in front of him who had nearly split him in two with the familiar-looking great sword.

'That weapon...There's no doubt about it.

It's Mammonas.'

Evan's eyes narrowed as he stared at the figure obscured in smoke, recalling the feedback he received when he attacked just now.

'It didn't feel like I hit a head, it felt more like my punch was caught in a palm.

More importantly...'

[Master. Something blocked the second part of my skill.]

Kayla's voice rang out inside his head, causing him to frown as he made a guess of exactly what that 'something' was.

The voice he heard next, confirmed it.

"Really Terence?

I decide to sleep for a bit and I wake up to see you almost get your head blown to pieces.

Tsk."

A sinister aura spread out in all directions, sending a chill down Evan's spine as Kayla who was floating beside him suddenly dropped on his shoulder weakly.

The smoke around Terence's body cleared up, revealing the red-haired man's appearance. The side of his face along with a part of his hair, joined his lower face and neck in being burnt.

The clothes on his upper body were pretty much rags at this point, with it being a miracle that they hadn't turned to ashes.

His left arm was covered in various bruises and burns, while the underclothes cloth and skin from his wrist to halfway in between his elbow and shoulder was charred black.

Right beside his head, however, was a third arm that extended from behind his back; the arm responsible for blocking Evan's earlier attack from dealing near-fatal damage to Terence.

The arm made a small grabbing motion but caught empty air before bursting into a blood-red magic mist and floating towards the side.

The mist trembled slightly, then the ambient magic power began to visibly condense, with the bloody mist melding together with the condensed magic power that took up a humanoid form.

Evan watched as the condensed magic power manifested a physical body slowly dropped to the ground on its two feet.

It was a tall handsome adult man, with a lean, muscular, and slender frame, dressed in all black. He had a waistcoat, worn atop a long-sleeved collared shirt that was tucked into long black trousers.

Multiple demonic runes momentarily flashed across his belt and shirt cuffs.

On the back of his left hand, was a crest of an upside-down Great Sword inscribed in a circle with the number '7' in roman numerals written in small, barely visible text under it.

His long black hair was tied up in a ponytail with a ribbon as red as his eyes, while his long bangs hung over his face, parted to the left.

"Too much smoke around here."
