Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 581 I gotchu bro.

He coated his arms with his flames and seized the wings, before violently ripping them off from its quivering body, the gruesome act unfolding in a raw and savage manner that sent chills down the spines of both allies and enemies.

'8'

On to the next target, Evan jumped off the bleeding wingless wyvern's body and onto another one flying below, using Vindiction's strike to launch a beam from below that knocked its body upwards, while he met the creature's skull with a punch from above, his energy swirling around his fist in a mini vortex.

**BOOM-BAAMM!!

'That worked better than I thought. Anyway, that was 9.'

His grey eyes turned towards the tenth Wyvern, the leader who had been fighting off four A rankers on its own and was actually dominating the battle.

Using the corpse of the wyvern he was standing on as a boost, he launched his body in its direction, spinning his body around mid-way and unleashing a high kick towards the side of the monster's head.

"GAAKK?!"

"?!"

Evan's eyes widened when he saw that the creature was only knocked back a bit, his eyes narrowing as he pulled back immediately.

"I'd freeze you human brat!"

The creature ignored its former opponents and directed its focus at Evan, opening its jaws and releasing a breath attack in the boy's direction.

The breath surged through the air like a relentless gale, billowing forth and plummeting the surrounding temperature in its wake.

Even the A rankers who were engaging the monster were knocked aside by the shockwaves released when the breath surpassed the speed of sound.

In response, Evan silently held up his palm and condensed his energy rapidly, conjuring a massive orb of prismatic flames in it.

'Mesarthim; Red: Inferno Comet.'

He propelled the blazing sphere forward at blistering supersonic speed, the sheer velocity creating a resounding boom and leaving behind a short radiant trail of fiery brilliance.

Due to the speed of the two attacks, the collision happened almost immediately.

***KAAABOOOOMM!!!!

The clash between the two sent shockwaves rippling through the airborne battlefield, disrupting all the aerial combatants; monsters and sentient humanoid fighters alike, causing some to veer off course, struggle to maintain altitude and lose their bearings in the maelstrom.

The battle between the two elemental forces was as short as the time it took them to clash, with the flames surging forth and much to the wyvern's astonishment, engulfing its icy breath.

With an explosive burst of energy, the flames hurtled toward the wyvern and smashed into its face, shattering scales, searing flesh and inflicting grievous wounds upon impact.

Without hesitation, Evan blinked towards the top of the wyvern's head and then used void step to create a foothold which he kicked off and descended in a rush.

"Hero's!—"

"?!"

"—Axe Kick!"

The heel of the Hero's shoes mercilessly drove into the head of the wyvern, but Evan wasn't done just yet.

"Collapse!"

This particular wyvern was stronger than the others, presumably a floor boss or something; as such, it needed to be dealt with using stronger methods.

And Evan chose a particularly gruesome one.

A ripple of seismic waves emanated from the spot his leg had hit, crumbling the wyvern's scales, teeth, and bone into a chaotic maelstrom of blood and brain matter.

The creature could not even let out an agonized roar as its head ceased to exist, reduced to nothing more than a swirling cloud of blood, flesh and bone fragments.

Its body, now bereft of its vital organ, lost all semblance of coordination and plummeted from the sky, crashing towards the ground below.

"10!"

Evan shouted out as he opened his inventory and let its corpse fall inside, before quickly looking at the system time as he disabled BoD.

"Damn it, I was eleven seconds out!"

He clicked his tongue as he spoke, wiping off the sweat and blood on his face while he tried to calm his laboured breaths.

Seeing his aura receding, the City Defence force member near him thought the boy had burnt himself out, but when he suddenly turned towards two wyverns having similar thoughts and held up his palm that was encased in Mesarthim's prismatic flames, that thought left their minds.

"Milena and Kuro's presences are drawing nearer. They seem close though…maybe Greed and Liz met up.

As for Pride…she's not too far off either."

He muttered to himself before kicking off his void step and blitzing through the sky as a streak of gold light, heading towards the Command Centre Area.

Evan had a smile on his face as he kicked off subsequent void steps, satisfied with his earlier power display.

The Irregular Hero had left one hell of an impression on everyone present and those who were watching the happenings on the battlefield from outside the barrier.

The sight of the boy ending the lives of ten monsters over level 360 in just a bit over a minute, and still have 'a lot of energy left', had been ingrained in their minds permanently.

His array of skills and techniques, Elemental Mastery over flames and ice, as well as sheer physical strength and speed, were all the kind one would not expect from a boy his age.

Heck, even some S rankers who were present thought that though they could achieve similar results, they certainly could not do so within such a short time frame—that was only natural, as the boy was already as strong as a beginner S ranker in his base state; it made sense that not many people present within the Barrier could match him in his BoD state that tripled that power.

All those who had thought the rumours of Evan's strength were just a hoax, had been given a front-row seat to a showing of irrefutable proof that they were not.

Even if it was obvious to them that he had boosted his power with a skill, it did not change the fact that he was still on the level of the most powerful grandmasters of the continent.

While not even being a grandmaster himself.

◇ ◇ ◇

The golden streak of light that was Evan blitzed across the now clear skies, with him kicking off multiple void steps to maintain his speed and altitude until he reached the Command Area where the highest ranked members of all the forces here present were.

One particularly strong giant crocodile burst through the defensive line and dashed straight towards the people standing there, its body glowing with the light of a skill.

Just when one of the S rankers was about to take action and end the creature's life, he suddenly sensed something descending from above, looking up in time to catch the sight of Evan's figure crashing down towards the monster's body.

**BAMM!!!

The boy's legs landed on the monster's back, breaking its spine due to the force of his landing and collapsing its body on the ground.

"GWOOOTT!!!"

Hearing the strange roar it had let out, Evan tilted his head to the side with confusion and asked.

"Hot? You're feeling hot?"

As he spoke, he used his Harbinger of Ice skill to freeze the monster's body from neck downwards, encasing it in a thick layer of very dense ice.

"GWOOLL!!"

"Now, you're cold?"

The ice enveloping the giant crocodile's body melted as its body was engulfed in bright prismatic flames that burned through its scales and flesh with ease.

"GWOOOTTTT!!!!"

"Not hot enough? Worry not. I gotchu bro."

**BZZTT!!

Golden tendrils of lightning snaked across his legs and towards the monster's body, mixing with the flames already present and igniting into a bright explosion of odd-coloured smoke and flames.

The monster's death throes were overshadowed by the sound of the blast, while the S ranker in front created a simple aura barrier that blocked the shockwaves from reaching him and those behind him.

Emerging from the blast while reabsorbing all the magic power, Evan held up a peace sign towards the man while greeting him.

"Sup."

The explosion behind him died down as the energy supporting it had been reabsorbed, and condensed into an orb of magic that floated beside him.

"Here, a little gift."

Evan continued his words, stuffing the magic stone of the crocodile into the S ranker's hands before tapping him on the shoulder and walking towards the others.

The Brigadier General in front narrowed his eyes lightly as he noticed something new on Evan's bloodstained shirt.

'That badge brooch, it wasn't there when he first landed.'

The beastman instantly got the assignment and uncrossed his arms, holding out a hand to Evan as he spoke.

"Greetings, Count Bourne. Thank you for your earlier assistance."

He addressed Evan in his official capacity while offering a handshake which the young Hero accepted.

As for the other part of his statement, it wasn't just lip service as Evan had actually saved the asses of some A-rank-level adventurers and lots of soldiers with his actions of keeping most of the wyvern's attention in the skies.
