Reincarnated Hero System

Webb quickly raised his sword to block her slash before countering with one of his own, the power behind it not being enough to push her back.

The next moment he released a burst of magic power, creating a shockwave that sent Pride flying dozens of meters and creating a crater easily ten times that distance.

A golden haze rose up from his body as he flicked his fingers, causing multiple six-ringed magic circles to appear around him.

From each magic circle, a variety of lightning magic shaped in many forms emerged, from lightning spears to lightning whips.

A few of circles even spouted lightning beasts that blitzed towards Pride at lightning speed with their jaws wide open.

He didn't sit back and let his spell do all the work, attacking Pride himself.

**BOOMM!! BOOMMM!!! BOOOOMMMMM!!!!

In response, Pride released her black aura and let it rampage around her, reducing the lightning magic beasts to nothingness and blocking the lightning spears.

She grabbed the whips of lighting with her bare hands and hijacked the magic, turning it against its caster as she used it to mess with the trajectory of Webb's sword mid-swing.

**BAMM!!

Pride then took advantage of his crumbled balance to send a fist full of condensed demonic energy to his torso, slamming into him with enough force to misalign his internal organs and make him cough up a mouthful of blood.

'What? I was sure I had her...'

Those were Webb's thoughts as he was sent flying by a few dozen meters before abruptly coming to a stop as the hijacked lightning whip spell wrapped around his leg and pulled him back to Pride where he received another fistful of demonic energy, this time to the chest.

The demon's fist punctured his flesh, shattered his ribs and nearly pierced his heart but he released a sudden burst of celestial energy infused lightning that burnt Pride's arm, making her reflexively pull her arm out and take distance from him.

"Tsk..."

She clicked her tongue as she looked at her arm which barely had any flesh left and was just charred bone, before infusing magic power into it to enhance her regeneration.

Webb on the other hand was down on one knee with his hand on his chest as he casted healing magic on himself while downing multiple magic potions.

A beam of white light descended from the sky onto his body, something he recognized to be healing magic sent by the magicians who were setting up the magic formation he had ordered them to.

He thanked them for it as he spat out a bit of black blood before dashing towards Pride with the greatest speed he could muster as he tried to prevent her from healing her arm.

For some reason, the healing magic casted by nearly a dozen magicians was not as potent as he had expected, and he was barely feeling the effects but a part of his mind told him that it being like that was normal and there was nothing wrong with the current situation.

He felt something was terribly wrong but his senses perceived nothing amiss as he continued his charge towards Pride.

The Demon noticed this and stabbed her sword into the ground before making various gestures to activate multiple magics of various attributes.

The ground trembled as rock spears erupted from below and the skies darkened with black lightning dropping down.

Accompanying this lightning was a rain of ice and flames that crashed down on all areas of the battlefield.

The winds raged and turned black, swirling together to create a gigantic sword of black wind tens of meters long above Pride's head.

She then grabbed the wind sword with her free hand and swung it down in Webb's direction.

**CCRACKLEE!!!

The celestial Hero tried to counter the wind magic sword with spells of his own but discovered that the wind sword had the ability to absorb other spells as his lightning was absorbed and added to the attack.

The wind sword that now had Lightning crackling around it crashed down from above, landing on the ground and splitting the earth.

**SWOOOOSHHHH!!!! BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

The lightning exploded, accompanied by a gust of wind that spread the effects of the rain of flames and ice.

Multiple heroes had to activate barrier magic of many kinds to prevent themselves from being damaged by the spell.

Pride, however, paid this no mind and searched for the figure of the celestial hero in the raging whirlwinds and rain of ice and flames.

She suddenly sensed magic power building up from above the clouds and looked up to the sky, a loop of shock appearing on her face as she saw the bloodied celestial holding up an enormous bullet of concentrated lightning streams amidst the rain of ice and flames.

As if emulating her spell's effect, she noticed that the bullet of lighting absorbed the droplets of fire and ice that touched it, making the spell even more powerful and dangerous.

"I should probably avoid that."

Pride was about to make her move when she sensed another source of magic from the ground, her eyes instantly locating the source.

"A Magic circle? Did I just get caught in a trap? Worms not even worth my time dared to trap me? Who gave you the permission to do so?"

The moment she spoke, waves of magic power and aura poured out of her body, instantly overloading the magic circle on the ground and shattering it.

**SHINKKK!!!

"Huh?"

It was then that Pride realised that the first circle was actually a decoy to hide the real magic circle underneath, the circle formation that Webb had told them to create before he went off to attack Pride single-handedly.

"Sir WEBB!"

"Do it NOW!"

Webb screamed out as he locked his sights on Pride, noticing that her arm had not yet healed and she only had one hand to take defensive action with.

'Soon, she'd have none.

We'd restrain her and I'd defeat her, then afterward, I would use my remaining magic power to end her life and absorb her skills for myself.'

He grinned to himself as he began imagining the treatment he would receive when he was done dealing with Pride while watching the magic formation's first effect begin.

Chains of light erupted from the ground and blitzed towards Pride but the demon frowned in annoyance as she controlled her aura to form barriers that obstructed the chains while she used her magic power to attempt to hijack the spell circle.

She could see seven rings on the white spell circle with a crest inside the innermost circle that signified the word 'Bind', written multiple times in a plethora of languages.

The chains of light multiplied instantly, becoming more than five times their original number as they attempted to constrain her entire body.

Pride tried to slip out of the ones that caught her but their attempts to hold her down were not going to end there.

"Not going to let you go!"

"Just stand there obediently."

This time, the chains bound her entire body and she couldn't move. Having two layers of chains coiled around her body and even her legs, even standing still became difficult.

Nearly twenty spears of magic of different attributes appeared around her, the magic power in them being something that the heroes saw Pride's face express wariness in response to.

She controlled her aura to increase her body's defences, reactivating her Contempt of the many and tuning her passive skills to maximum efficiency.

After making sure she could survive the attacks, she gave up resisting and shook her head in disappointment as she gazed at the heroes who didn't realise that they had long been caught by her skill.

The heroes, however, misinterpreted this as her giving up on life and their confidence in defeating her grew to new heights as they poured more and more of their magic power into the spears of magic that surrounded her.

One even exhausted all his magic power but kept on trying to squeeze out more magic power, even going as far as to convert his life force into magic power, an action he normally would never take.

Another who was responsible for maintaining the chains that bound Pride, infused more energy into the magic circle while she smiled to herself, a hundred percent assured of their victory.

Meanwhile, Webb who was floating mid-air while holding the enormous bullet of lightning, activated his magic eyes and realised something weird.

'The magic in their attacks is far less than planned, what the hell?!!!'

He noticed that one of the heroes had even ignored his remaining reserves of magic power and was converting his life force to magic power when not necessary.

The hero who was responsible for restraining Pride with the chains was loosening them instead while smiling to herself.

'The fuck?'

He saw another hero who was just stretching his hand towards the magic spears in the air but wasn't even attempting to add his magic power to it, and he had more than half his magic power reserves left!

'Something is definitely wrong!'
