Reincarnated Hero System

"Fuck, he's already here!"

A man wearing a hooded dark robe, cursed loudly as he stared at the scene of the wyvern battling in the distance.

"Guh!"

Beside him, a grey-skinned man with pointed ears, dropped to his knees as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Thoruul!!"

The hooded man instantly turned his attention to his kneeling companion, activating a skill with his magic power in an attempt to heal the large slash wound on his grey-skinned man's torso.

"U-Ulmoch, we have to retreat! Fast!!"

"Huh? My men have already gotten into the city, they should get to the dungeon so-!"

"Didn't you see him or sense his demonic energy?! The demon you came to find isn't in the dungeon anymore! He's out there fighting!

Just what were you doing while I was unconscious?!"

The eyes of the hooded man, Ulmoch, widened in surprise as he thought back to the waves of demonic energy that he had sensed multiple times since the beginning of the battle.

He had originally wanted to go and check on it but because he was keeping watch on the demon with him, Thoruul, who had been unconscious while recovering from the lethal injury that had been inflicted on him, he didn't go to confirm the identity of what demon or demon contractor was fighting against the monsters.

Leaving him with the wyvern also wasn't possible as Thoruul's control over the monster had weakened due to the demon's loss of consciousness, so he wasn't sure if it would suddenly turn on Thoruul and attack him.

"If only that damned guild master didn't suddenly become a grandmaster level inside the dungeon, our plan would have worked and the city's strongest forces would have been wiped out in one fell swoop!"

"Forget about that Ulmoch! We have to leave here now!"

Immediately after Thoruul shouted at his contractor, the two heard a voice coming from behind them, prompting them to turn around as they hadn't sensed any presence until the voice spoke.

"Senior Member of the Demonic Hand, Ulmoch and his contracted demon, Thoruul.

In the game, Ulmoch and his brother were two early mid-bosses that I really didn't want to fight in reality.

Thankfully, Osto's guild master has saved me the stress of having to deal with one of them."

The two saw a boy standing at about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches, wearing a plain black shirt stained with green blood, and similarly coloured trousers, with brown arm guards on his wrists and partial armour covering his crucial points such as his chest and joints.

For some reason, there was a contradictory mix of excitement mixed with distaste in his eyes as he stared at them, but Ulmoch's attention was drawn to something else in his eyes, and not the gaze he was giving them.

'That's-!'

His thoughts could not be completed, because he sensed another, far more sinister presence suddenly appear behind him, causing him to turn back to meet with a young woman that looked like she had just come of age, dressed in a brown shirt and black trousers, with similarly coloured knee height boots, all stained with the blood of various monsters.

She stabbed her eerie sword into the ground and used her hands to tie up her long black hair while speaking to the boy who appeared before her.

"I don't think this is the right time for your incomprehensible monologues, Evan. Don't forget your skill is active."

"Oh, that.

I turned it off the moment I started speaking.

Kind of pointless to keep it on while I'm talking."

Thoruul's eyes widened to the limit upon seeing the woman who showed up right after Evan, he instinctively backed away with a fear-stricken gaze and screamed out.

"Impossible!

I could understand if it was 'him', but you! How are you here?!"

Seeing Thoruul's strange reaction, Ulmoch couldn't help but ask why, but although Thoruul gave him a reply, the demon was breathing heavily, almost hyperventilating.

"L-leader of the D-deadly Sins.

That's the Demon of Pride herself!"

Ulmoch's expression contorted upon hearing Thoruul's words, meanwhile, the demon was internally panicking.

'How the hell is she here?!'

Even though his senses and the rational part of his mind was telling him that the current Pride in front of him was weaker than he remembered, the fear of the High Demon was borne deep into his soul, deep enough for it to affect him greatly even after a thousand years.

His instinctive reaction the moment he saw her, was to run for his life, however, he then remembered that there was someone behind him.

'He's working with the Deadly Sin? Is he her contractor? In that case, he's definitely not normal!'

If Evan knew his thoughts, the boy would question why everyone who discovered he was Pride's contractor automatically assumed he was not normal simply because he was her contractor.

Thoruul used lighting magic to cauterize the wound on his stomach again, before flaring his demonic energy.

'She's weakened greatly! If so, I might have a chance against her!'

The full pressure of a lower middle-rank demon spread out into the area, bearing down on Pride and Evan.

Pride's brow twitched in annoyance as she spoke with an annoyed tone.

"You dare attempt to intimidate me?"

The high demon used her demonic energy to press down on Thoruul, shockingly forcing the demon's knees to buckle despite the level difference.

The Pride that came to Osto, and the current Pride who had been killing monsters for the past hour, were on two totally different levels.

At that same instant, Evan activated limit break once more, releasing a burst of aura into the surroundings, before calling out to Kayla and blinking towards Thoruul.

"Vortex."

The boy calmly activated his unique skill, decoding not to hold back as even though he was currently injured and weakened, Thoruul was still a demon at level 227.

As the spiral mass of aura was sending the demon's body flying, his other hand stretched towards the stunned Ulmoch's chest and released an energy blast.

**BAMM!!!

The beam of aura knocked his body into the air, causing him to cough up blood mid-flight, at the same time that a gigantic energy limb manifested in the air and caught the airborne Thoruul's body, before slamming him onto the ground.

"Kayla."

Responding to his call, was a bolt of lightning that descended from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud sound.

The lightning bolt's true identity was naturally the great spirit of lightning that Evan was contracted to, in her full 3 feet tall form.

"Hold this guy off while Pride and I take out his contracted demon."

[Okay!]

After that order, Evan kicked off the ground and shot forward with the speed of a bullet train in the direction where Pride had tossed Thoruul's body.

Ulmoch who had gotten back to his feet, spat out blood to the floor and attempted to chase after Evan, however a wall of lighting suddenly appeared in front of him and attempted to fold in on him.

He reflexively backed away, finally noticing Kayla's presence with a frown appearing on his face.

[I'm just going to get serious from the start.]

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, causing a bolt of lightning to hit his arm, with a rose of flames blooming on his arm at the point of impact.

The flames mixed with the lightning, resulting in an elemental reaction that triggered an explosion on Ulmoch's arm.

"GAAK!!"

He screamed out in pain, a few seconds before dousing the flames of the explosion with water magic.

The man then summoned a magic catalyst and roused his magic and demonic energies, however, Kayla just tilted her head to the side and spoke.

[Did you think I was going to let you?]

Another finger snap activated her Pseudo Authority of lightning, with a gigantic pearl of lightning appearing in the air and then going on to rain down bolts of lightning on Ulmoch.

Meanwhile, Evan and Thoruul were exchanging full-powered blows, with shockwaves spreading out at the points in the air where their fists collided.

Thoruul suddenly threw in a high kick, which Evan saw coming with his kinetic vision and dodged with his limit-break-enhanced body, before spinning his body and delivering a punch to the demon's back, knocking him to the side.

Pride then appeared beside his body, with her fist covered in a smaller energy-constructed limb of sin energy, delivering a punch using the full power of her C+ strength stat to Thoruul's head.

**BAAM!!!

The disoriented demon drew a parabolic arc as his body flew into the air, however, he regained his bearings mid-flight and flipped his body, landing on his feet before slamming his hands into the ground and piercing the earth with his fingers to prevent his body from sliding any further.

But the moment he looked up, he was met with a short jump kick to the side of his head, that knocked his body onto the ground once more, causing him to ragdoll on the floor for dozens of metres.

Following up with Evan's kick, Pride appeared above him with a ball of dark flames in her hand, one which she slammed into his chest, causing him to scream out in pain.

She then grabbed him by the neck with her barely flaming hand and flung his body into the air.

A trail of golden light blitzed past Pride, before shooting up into the air and clashing with Thoruul's body.

"Energy blast" X2

Two beams of aura slammed into the demon's shoulder bones, right before Pride unsheathed her sword that was engulfed in black flames.

"Flames of Hubris."

**SWISHH!!

**PLOP!!

The severed arm of the mid-rank demon dropped to the ground, followed by its owner's scream, however, as if intending to give him more things to scream about, Evan launched a blade cannon towards his left leg, drilling four holes into the limb before the aura slash that sliced it into two.

"GGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
