Reincarnated Hero System



Anyway, minus the fact that he had used the Poison Cephrodite's energy stone for the Frozen domain, the intimidation effect he unleashed to keep them in place long enough to do that consumed a sizable amount of energy.

This was natural, as it was capable of pressuring these grandmaster-level existences so much that they saw hallucinations of death.

It also should not be forgotten that Evan was fighting against two of the fake heroes and multiple demonic Hand members before this, all of which were over level 300.

Even in his BoD state, he had consumed a great deal of energy.

So how did he still have energy left in his body?

For starters, Evan wasn't just throwing out attacks willy-nilly, but was occasionally downing energy potions to replenish his energy, using mostly aura-based attacks and using his magic power to power the BoD skill.

Plus, the buffs to energy quality they had just gotten should not be forgotten, so he could use three times less the amount of energy others were using and achieve the exact same results.

If he used to use the exact same amount they were used, then he was bound to achieve more than three times the result.

Due to this, his energy consumption wasn't actually as much as one would expect. Since his energy was superior in quality, he was using less of it.

Even so, he still snuck in the occasional energy potion to speed up his recovery.

Although he still had Limit Break, he didn't want to unleash that yet as there was still the fifth Fake Hero who was hiding somewhere and the Leader of this attack Squad, the one the Demonic Hand members called 'Senior' had not shown up yet.

So, until then, Evan did not plan to go all out yet.

Naturally, this meant that his battle with the demons and the Fake Heroes would be harder, evidenced by the cuts and scratches he had all over, plus the injury on the side of his face and his torn clothes.

'If things go as they did in the game, I'm going to need every single drop of power to fight against those two.

The Spirits of the Underground Cove have to pitch in to help too.'

He had even told the spirit trio that although they should take their opponents seriously, they should not go 'No Holds Barred' on them.

The number of Demonic Hand members who had attacked them was exactly 120.

Among them, 50 were grandmasters, and the remaining 70 were superior stage masters.

As for the number that had died, Evan could roughly count more than 45, while the others were still in battle with Kayla and Milena in the distance.

Some were warily watching him from the sky, not daring to come close due to the aura of destruction and the Frozen domain, while the remaining 12 were on the floor.

The remaining ones, most of which were grandmasters, still had sizable amounts of energy left to fight, especially considering they had multiple energy types (Magic, Aura, Demonic Energy).

So, to keep on fighting for a longer time, Evan was going to 'borrow' some magic power and Aura from them.

As for the means?

"Everlasting Chains."

The frozen ground quivered as he unleashed the power of the skill. With a single gesture, dozens of gleaming chains erupted from the earth, their links interlocking with precision as they slithered through the air like serpents of shimmering metal.

With unerring aim, they wrapped around the dozen Demonic Hand members on the floor, with some shooting into the air to entrap the flying demons, tightening and binding them in an unbreakable grip with each coil.

But the chains' purpose was not merely restraint, for as they held their targets captive, subtle energy transfer took place as their energies were slowly drained with each passing moment.

Those who had received the full brunt of Evan's destructive intimidation were the ones who were most easily ensnared, and even though they tried to break free, Kuro's shadowy restraints didn't let them achieve that so easily.

Although the energy he was getting from them was lower in quality than his, he didn't really mind as he was going to expel it very, very, soon.

Now then, even if this absorbed energy was 'lower in quality' compared to Evan's, it was still fairly high as they had all gone through the energy compression Evan had done too.

So compared to normal grandmasters, their energies were higher in quality by at least two times. This was within expectations, as they were Elites from the First Division of the Demonic Hand.

Sadly, Evan's was higher, plus, he had his numerous buffs that were even more effective on them due to their designation as 'World Enemies', making everything Evan did against them have 25% increased efficiency and power.

His stat bonuses, class bonuses, Reincarnated Hero System Benefits, Eliza's buffs etc when added together, resulted in Evan dominating his battles, even when faced with two Fake Heroes who were abnormally powerful among grandmasters.I think you should take a look at

But without all these coming together, or if his companions were not stronger than normal, he didn't have the help of the ambient spirits, then they Evan would not have been able to deal with this many above average opponents.

Looking at Evan who was using the Everlasting chains to swat the flying demons like flies while holding down the other demonic hand members, Eliza heaved a soft before putting the Memoria in her interspatial ring and jumping towards Evan casually.

Even though he was about a hundred meters in the air, Eliza just causally jumped that height without stress, crossing that distance in a single instant.

With her A+ agility, even though her acceleration was leagues below warrior classes on her level, she could still reach Sonic speed, so crossing this small distance in a second was nothing.

And there was no way that Evan would miss the sight of his girlfriend jumping towards him.

He turned in her direction and caught her with his hands, taking care to prevent his sword from touching her as he wrapped his arms around her waist and dropped her feet on a void step.

She then placed her hands on the sides of his head before smiling slightly and speaking.

"I understand you got pissed for my sake but I could have handled them myself, you know?

Besides, this is a 'Life and Death' battle. It's kill or be killed, anything could happen."

"Yeah, yeah. I know."

Evan rolled his eyes as he replied, making multiple gestures with his fingers and directing dozens of rainbow-coloured flaming projectiles to shoot towards the airborne demons, keeping them away from him as they were scared of these flames that could ignore durabilities and burn grandmasters to ashes.

While he did this, Eliza only chuckled lightly in response to his reply before using basic water magic to wipe off the blood on Evan's face.

He had quite a few injuries when faced with the Elite Demonic Hand members, causing damage greater than his Paladin's limited healing could deal with.

The two charges of Healing magic Eliza had given him, represented by the two rings of light on his right wrist, were not present anymore, showing that he had used the charges up to deal with two serious wounds.

He even had a cut on his cheek, moving diagonally from the area under his eye to the left side of his face, and it was teeming with demonic energy that prevented the wound from healing.

Eliza, who didn't like seeing her boyfriend's handsome face marred with wounds, did not hesitate to use her breath of life on him, purging the demonic energy with her life energy and healing all the injuries on him.

At the same time, she used a different spell, one Evan noticed and questioned her about.

"Is that Serenitatem?"

Having expected Evan to notice it, Eliza didn't deny it.

"Yes.

You're not calm right now.

Not being calm when faced with multiple grandmasters is not exactly a good idea."

She replied as she kept the Serenity inducement magic active, while Evan only chuckled lightly and let her do what she wanted.

"Besides…"

Flashing Evan a bright smile that mesmerized him for a moment, she continued.

"I like you best when you're calm."

Now, seeing the couple carry on with this public display of affection in front of them, waves of fury swept through the ranks of the demonic hand members and the demons themselves.

Sure, some of them were taking advantage of Evan's obvious lack of attention to recover a bit from the grievous wounds he had given them, but still!

Those bound on the ground erupted with surges of magic power and demonic energy, breaking free from the shadowy restraints and everlasting chains that held them captive.

Simultaneously, some of the Demonic Hand members jumped up towards their airborne contractors and activated the technique Evan had prevented them from using earlier.

Demonic Fusion!
