Reincarnated Hero System



'Well, I guess her relationship with the 'Smith King' is a lot closer than I had expected.'

Kethryllia had noticed that all the weapons that Abigail had pulled out were very similar, and they all had the insignia of one of 'The Five', 'Smith King' Vulwin.

'But weapons aside, she hasn't done anything that I can relate to her mystic eyes yet. And here I thought I would be able to get some intel on her abilities.'

Surprisingly, Abigail was also thinking something along the same lines as Kethryllia.

'I haven't gotten any valuable battle data except the two skills she used. That weapon of hers is a series weapon but she has not used the weapon's special ability yet.

She does not seem to be going all out at all.

As expected of the Seventh Finger of the Demonic hand, she still has a lot of power left and she still hasn't resorted to calling out her contracted demon.'

Abigail cracked her neck and her fingers, before getting into a combat stance, holding up one arm forward and one leg slightly extended backwards.

**BAAM!

She kicked off the ground in the next moment, her legs digging into the earth as she shot towards Kethryllia who twirled her spear and used it to block all the incoming punches from Abigail.

The demonic hand executive then grabbed Abigail's arm and spun around, flinging her into the air, but the Elf only flipped mid-air and punched the empty air in front of her, releasing shockwaves from the pressure of her fists and sending them flying towards Kethryllia.

Kethryllia swung her spear rapidly and blocked the shockwaves with relative ease, twisting her body slightly to dodge the ones she sensed were imbued with destruction essence.

Abigail landed on the floor and stomped her foot on the ground with force, infusing her magic power into the ground and uprooting all the trees within a hundred-metre radius of her.

She then flicked her fingers and the trees rotated horizontally, before launching towards Kethryllia.

"I thought you elves were supposed to love nature…"

'Wind Magic: Shredding Cyclone.'

The demonic hand executive flipped her spear and stabbed it into the ground, generating a huge whirlwind of demonic energy that swirled around her body and shredded the trees to pieces as she continued.

"…you certainly don't seem to have any qualms about destroying it."

"Pfft…"

Abigail only chuckled lightly as she jumped into the air with her arms spread open before replying.

"Oh please. I love Nature.

I am the 'Child of Nature', after all."

"…Huh?"

It took Kethryllia a moment to understand that Abigail had casually injected a skill activation into her reply, her senses screaming at her as she immediately coated her body in lightning and shot up into the air.

**BOOOM!!!

Several thick three roots burst out from the ground and shot up into the air alongside Kethryllia, slamming towards her body in an attempt to swat her out of the sky.

The demonic Celestial infused her spear with aura and swung it rapidly, shredding the tree roots into pieces of wood, however, that gave the other humanoid wooden golems the time needed to catch up to her.

With clenched fists, they slammed down on Kethryllia's body and sent her crashing back to the ground.

The demonic hand executive crashed back onto the floor with so much force that her body bounced back up into the air.

A giant wooden arm emerged from the ground and grabbed her body mid-air, before reforging into a giant tree that enclosed her body entire body, save her head in its trunk and shrunk itself, restraining her and attempting to crush her body.

The three then sunk halfway into the ground, putting part of Kethryllia's body underground while the other trees in the forest around her all experienced a spurt of rapid growth, with their very genetic structure being rearranged as regardless of what type of tree they were, they all turned into bright yellow flowered trees.

Multiple branches shot out and wrapped around the tree enclosing Kethryllia's body, increasing the restraints around her, while the flowers released deadly pollen into the atmosphere.

The Demonic Hand executive sensed the danger in the pollen and held her breath while trying to gather energy to break free from the restraints, however, she had already accidentally inhaled a small bit of the pollen and the effects showed themselves instantly.

She didn't know exactly what it did in her body but it caused dark blood to drip out of her nose and onto her lips.

Feeling the liquid trickling out of her nose, Kethryllia exploded the energy she was condensing, blasting apart everything from the tree holding her to the genetically manipulated trees around her.

Blood-red lightning descended from the skies and onto the trees, setting them ablaze while she used wind magic to create a barrier around herself to prevent the pollen from getting to her.

She then shot out of the forest fire she had created and into the air, only to be met with the open jaws of a giant serpentine wooden dragon with a trunk-like nose.

Energy condensed into the dragon's maw and within seconds it was a giant crimson beam of light shooting through the air.

***KAABOOMMM!!!!

The beam of light crashed down on the ground and ravaged the earth from one end of the forest to the other, destroying monster nests and animal habitats alike.

Standing atop the head of this dragon, was the blonde-haired Elven girl who was twirling around a ring of strange multicoloured energy around her finger.

The crimson glow of the aura of destruction on her body was no more, however, her power did not seem to have waned in the slightest.

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' states that using 'that energy' would be most unwise at this juncture.]

[He further states that you should wrap things up before your natural energy reserves are depleted, implying that defeating the entity 'Kethryllia Keasatra', is currently impossible for you as she is an entire existence level above you.]

Two message boards appeared in front of Abigail's vision, momentarily surprising the girl as she did not expect that being to be watching her fight.

"Fine…I'm at least aware of the fact that she's only fighting me because she wants to glean information about my mystic eyes."

Abigail replied as she dismissed the notifications, relinquishing her control over the multi-coloured energy ring in her hand and letting it disperse back into the atmosphere.

"Arc Lightning!"

Her eyes widened upon hearing that shout, instantly jumping off the wooden dragon construct she was on right before a spear of red lighting flew right into its open jaw and pulverized it.

**BOOOOMM!!!!

As the wooden dragon turned to ashes, Abigail summoned her twin pair of swords and kicked off an aura foothold, shooting down towards Kethryllia who was blitzing towards her.

**BOOM!!

Another explosion rang out as the two collided with each other, beginning a high-speed battle with weapons and magic.

The Elven girl gave Kethryllia a bit of a hard time as she kept switching weapons every minute, making the redhead unable to guess which weapon she was going to bring out next.

Each of these weapons was coated in her destruction essence, and she even pulled out an unorthodox weapon like a morningstar and at one point, even wielded two different weapons at once

She also didn't forget to toss in magic of various elements, allowing Kethryllia to verify two things about Abigail's magic.

One was that she could use almost every mainstream element.

And the other was that any 'destructive' type spell she cast, had two times as much power than normal.

If only she knew that Abigail was also casting these spells for half the usual magic power cost.

Multiple explosions rang out across the forest, each one blasting apart a new crater in the Dalburn forest and releasing shockwaves that spread far out of the forest.

Bursting out of the smoke rising into the skies from one of such explosions, Kethryllia thrust her spear forward, intending on stabbing Abigail.

But just before the tip of the spear reached her heart, Abigail twisted ever so slightly and evaded, then, keeping the spear under her arm, slid down its length until she was nose to nose with Kethryllia.

The woman tried to extricate the spear from Abigail's arm, but much to her surprise, it didn't budge even a bit.

"Don't be too surprised, it's just simple body-strengthening magic."

Abigail spoke as she absorbed more strands of the strange multicoloured energy that Kethryllia could neither see nor sense into her body to strengthen it.

The Elven girl then looked down at the little gap in between their bodies, a smug grin appearing on her face as she looked up to Kethryllia and spoke.

"Hehe… I'm Bigger."

Kethryllia didn't need to be a genius to understand exactly what Abigail was talking about.

The redhead's brows twitched in annoyance but just before she could do anything else, she felt chills bear down her spine as her instincts screamed at her.

And the decision she made next, saved her life at the last second.
