Reincarnated Hero System

'What if I had just left immediately? He wouldn't have done this, right? So many people would not have died for no reason.'

Evan asked himself these questions but he didn't expect an answer.

This was just his brain trying to distract him from all the death and destruction around him. A scenery he had only seen in games or movies.

He was currently in said scenery, and was obviously at a loss on how to move forward.

His feet were rooted to the ground and he couldn't help but begin to feel fear from the depths of his heart.

Wasn't something like this, one of the reasons he dreaded coming to Aidos?

Another question came to his mind the moment after.

Didn't he come to Aidos to fight demons?

Why was he cowering at the sight of the destruction a single demon could cause?

If so, how was he going to survive against the hordes of them that would soon come pouring through the dimensional rift soon?

The rational part of his mind told him to run.

It told him that defeating that demon was an impossible feat for the current him to achieve alone.

[Master! Please help her!

She said she couldn't beat him, that you should help her!]

Kayla's pleading voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Nevertheless, the thoughts of fleeing didn't seem to want to leave his mind.

He knew who the 'Her', Kayla was talking about was.

If even 'she', someone with hundreds of years of fighting experience under her belt, someone who had seen more carnage and destruction than he could ever hope to see couldn't bet that demon, then wasn't that more of a reason to run away?

He was only a normal kid just a year ago. A normal kid who only wanted to drink his favourite strawberry juice play video games all day in his room.

How could he suddenly try to defeat a creature that didn't even think twice about murdering innocent people who had no relation to his goal, just because he could?

He realized that only survived now because Kuro had put his life on the line to save his ass. That was the reason Kuro was currently out of commission and was recovering in his shadow.

|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered. |

|Fear resistance has been acquired. |

The blue board that suddenly appeared in front of him caused his mind to clear up a bit. His fear was still there, it was still dominating his mind, but his mind wasn't clouded by it anymore.

'So what if I run away?

Wont I just be postponing the inevitable?

If he defeats Pride and comes after me, what would i do?

I can't defeat him alone, that impossible for the current me.

So I should do so now when he has most likely expended energy from battling Pride.

Yes, this is my best chance at beating him.'

The moment he arrived at that conclusion he stuck his hand into his inventory and grabbed as many potions as he could.

Strength potions, health positions, magic amplification potions, energy recovery potions.

He didn't care about their effects, he just drank them all and tossed the bottles on the ground.

His body felt hot, his head felt dizzy but he bit down on his inner cheek to keep himself conscious.

Fallen on the floor a few meters in front of him was his newly acquired sword.

The Unforged.

He walked forward and picked his sword off the ground.

Infusing the sword with magic power, his took faster steps, and then he broke into a sprint.

His destination was the one place where he could hear sounds of battle from.

Upon getting closer, he could see flashes of light flying around as the two demons clashed blades and exchanged blows at a speed he could barely perceive.

**BOOOOMMMM!!!!

A bone chilling energy filed the air, an energy he recognized as demonic energy.

Tornadoes of black flames swirled around the scene of the battle, occasionally shooting out wind blades that were always countered by black slashes of aura.

Evan activated his concealment skill and gazed at the two demons fighting. Although it looked like an evenly matched fight, he knew fully well that Pride would most likely soon be overwhelmed by the level difference.

'Provided she doesn't use her skills, that is.'

He activated his paladin to boost his base parameters and managed to catch a glimpse of the figure in black armour.

The moment he did, he activated his Full appraisal on him.

As soon as he received the appraisal results, Evan began analysing all of the demon, Xakon's skills.

The Prying eyes skill was a skill similar to Evan's full appraisal, it let the user view the status of its target and was very effective in bypassing concealment magic.

His three other skills were self explanatory, with his last skill, Cutting edge, being a skill that granted the user the ability to gather air to give an extra cutting edge to a bladed weapon upon attacking.

As for his unique skills, Detonation was probably what he used to blow up the adventurer's guild building instantly.

Shapeshifting on the other hand, was very obviously what he used to impersonate the probably already deceased 'Baron Geto'.

He was able to use two attributes and although his level was far higher than what Evan could take, he seemed to be missing a few levels, hence the reason why two of his stats were a few sub ranks below what they normally were.

Nevertheless, this was good news for Evan as the demon was not at full power.

'Okay, I'm going all out from the beginning. I'd leave limit break for the final act, just when I know I can end him for sure.'

He took a thrusting stance with the unforged and zoned out from the world around him. Magic power began swirling around the tip of his sword as he pulled his sword arm backwards.

Raising his head, he gazed at the two demons battling and waited patiently. In the process, flickers of red, yellow and brown could be seen in the swirling mass of magic power that was spiralling around his blade.

[He wants to help that scary lady.]

[But that scary lady is fighting for him.]

[So scary lady isn't bad? If so we'd help him.]

[Don't forget me Master!]

[Ohh, a lightning spirit]

The spirits who were usually very quiet around Evan became noisy once more as they began infusing their magic power into the mass of magic power on Evan's sword.

[Don't hit the armour, that armour gives bad vibes.]

[Hmmm...magic around it feels weak.]

'So the armour has some sort of magic resistance ability, huh? True, with such a low Durability, he was bound to have some sort of countermeasures.'

Evan didn't bother to begin theorizing why the demon's durability was a bit too low for his level, he just stared straight at the two while doing his all to maintain the concealment.

After all, with the amount of magic power he was gathering, the concealment skill was the only reason he hadn't been noticed yet.

Evan's destructive energy circuit wildly circulated magic power through his body as Evan decided to do something that he would normally consider insane.

[A skill?]

[But he's already using two?]

[Master...?]

Taking a deep breath, he ignored the blood seeping out of the corner of his lips as he called out softly.

"Blink."

◇　◇　◇

"I don't know what a demon like you is doing here but don't interfere with my plans!"

Xakon screamed out as he rose his sword to block the demonic energy filled blade that came crashing down on him.

"Hup!"

He pulled his left hand backwards and sent a punch to the torso of the sword's wielder before ducking to avoid the wind blade that threatened to lop off his neck.

A few strands of his messy red hair were sliced off but he paid it no mind as he kicked off the ground and dashed towards the demon that was glaring at him with bloodshot eyes.

**SWISH!!! CLANG!!

Closing the distance immediately, the he activated his cutting edge skill and swung his sword twice, nevertheless, he could see the demon's eyes darting around as she sent out wind blades to block his slashes.

He clicked his tongue as he slammed his foot into the ground and cried out.

"Detonate."

Magic power seeped out of his body as the oxygen and hydrogen in the air before him concentrated across a single point.

A small match sized flame appeared in the middle of this point, detonating the concentrated oxyhydrogen.

**KAABOOOOMMMM!!!
