Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 179 A New Resistance

|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered. |

|Mental resistance has been acquired. |

The moment that notification showed up in front of Evan, his head became clear and all the warped thoughts disappeared, retreating back into the deepest recesses of his mind.

"Evan?!"

He looked up with glowing eyes and he saw Eliza and Pride staring at him warily. Pride had summoned her weapon and filled it with demonic energy, however, one of her palms was pointed backwards and a spear of flames had manifested in front of it.

Amy who was on her shoulder also had her gaze facing backwards, seemingly staring at nothing.

Meanwhile, Eliza's barrier was active with her staff coated in magic power pointed at him.

Even Kayla who had said she didn't want to talk to see anymore had materialized her Physical body and was staring at him warily.

"Huh?"

He was initially confused why they were reacting like that, but the moment he turned his gaze to himself, he understood.

**BZZZTT!!

His body was surrounded by tendrils of golden lightning and orbs of red flames floated in the air around him.

In his right hand was his weapon, the unforged, with a violent mass of magic power swirling around its blade.

A thin layer of white light that laid just above his skin, covered his body from his head, down to his feet.

His shadow was wriggling about creepily, with the occasional spark of while light around his feet.

In his left hand, was an orb of pure energy ready to be launched, the initial state of his energy blast skill.

His muscles had bulged up considerably, enough make the straps of the partial armour on his elbows to snap off and his shirt to begin tearing.

When he thought about how chaotic his thoughts were and considered the resistance he just gained, the young hero sighed heavily as he begun to deactivate his skills one by one.

Black blood dripped from his nose to the ground, showing the strain his body was currently under due to having so many skills active at once.

**WHOOSHH!!!

A fierce gust of wind blew as he forcefully scattered the magic power swirling around the unforged into the surroundings, taking care not to accidentally detonate it.

His arms returned to normal size and the glow in his eyes dimmed as the number of skills and magic he was using continued decreasing.

Eventually, only his Energy blast and Paladin skills were active as he was relying on Paladin's limited healing to deal with his internal injuries.

As for the Energy blast, he had other plans for it.

"Hey, Pride. Let me deal with that bastard, will ya?"

Hearing his question, Pride heaved a sigh and disabled her flame spell causing the spear of flames to scatter.

She then patted Amy on the head as the spirit turned her gaze back to Pride and then to Evan.

[Master...]

Kayla called out to Evan with a pained expression on her face. As Evan's contracted spirit, she could feel his emotions just the way he could feel hers and she could tell that Evan was currently very angry, at himself.

'And here I thought I had strong mental fortitude...'

The young hero casually remarked to himself as he took a step forward, and then disappeared.

Approximately thirty metres from where Pride and Eliza were standing, he reappeared, his eyes cold as he gazed at the floating creature that was hiding itself in the shadows.

"KWEEE??!!!!"

Upon sensing Evan's teleportation, the creature instantly turned around and cried out, activating multiple skills and magic at the same time.

|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered. |

|Mental resistance has increased. |

The same instant Evan saw those notifications in front of him, magic power swirled in the air above him as the temperature of the water vapour in the cooled to the point where it became Ice.

Around the floating creature, a thin light blue barrier began to materialize, increasing the chill in the air as particles of Ice began to appear Evan's body.

Evan summoned a small ring of flames on his arms to warm his body up, while swinging his left arm that was still holding an energy blast towards the creature floating in the air.

Three large Icicles manifested above his head and dropped towards him in the same instant that his palm slammed into the monster's chest.

**BAMM!! **BOOOOOMM!!!!

The next moment, an explosion rang out, releasing shockwaves into the surroundings as spider web like cracks spread out on the right dungeon wall.

Pride waved her hand and a gust of wind blew away all the smoke from the explosion, revealing the sight of Evan's face covered by red blood.

His left hand was slammed into the wall, with a crater about 3 metres wide and high around it.

**PLOP!

Two short legs, all that was left of what was once the culprit for his earlier state, slowly dropped onto the small pool of blood on the ground.

Evan took a deep breath and ran his right hand through his hair as he disabled his paladin skill. He then pulled his left hand out of the palm sized print in the centre of the crater on the wall and turned towards Pride, or rather, the spirit on Pride's shoulder.

"Thanks for the help."

Amy only nodded in acknowledgement before closing her eyes and going back to her usual relaxed position on Pride's shoulder.

"...what just happened?"

The only person who still didn't understand what completely went on, Eliza, asked after a while as she alternated her gaze between Evan and Pride.

"...That thing Evan just killed, it used some sort of mental ability to mess with Evan's mind, that was the reason he suddenly activated a lot of skills earlier. It was trying to get him to attack us."

The battle priestess' eyes widened in surprise as she hadn't expected that to be the real reason for his weird behaviour.

She recalled the series of events that led to the current situation before asking another question.

"Did it try to mess with our mind's earlier?"

"Yes, it did."

Fully understanding what just happened, would require one to start from the moment the trio encountered their first monster on the eleventh floor.
