Reincarnated Hero System

Tyvi retreated, the light on her sword flickering as she recalibrated her energy infusion, while Tyn charged in her place, infusing his great sword with Earth law energy.

Though he swung it with enough force to collapse a mountain, aiming to overwhelm Evan with sheer power, the Rogue Hero summoned a massive spike of ice that met his blade mid-swing, halting Tyn’s attack entirely.

The Earth Law energy clashed with the destruction-infused ice, but it was the latter that triumphed, splintering Tyn’s energy apart and forcing him back.

Snapping his fingers, Evan sent shards of the crimson-gold ice flying towards the siblings, activating his Burst Cannon skill to increase their penetration power and damage potential.

Tyvi’s barriers of Ice Law energy disintegrated under the barrage, and Tyn’s attempts to block with Earth constructs met the same fate.

Looking at the two dragonslayers knocked back, Evan waved his hand in a seemingly random direction, sending an Elemental Projected weapon flying.

It tore through the air and pierced the invisible head of an Aramisian trying to sneak up on him, exploding in a burst of ice that blew their head to smithereens.

“Now then, how about I try my Elemental Destruction Fusion, but with laws.”

Evan’s Elemental Destruction Fusion was a mix of his Ice, Destruction and Fire powers respectively, in their purest states.

He first layered the ice, then used destruction as a barrier between them before adding the flames as the final layer.

This made it appear as if his sword was just flaming, but anyone thinking this could not be any more wrong.

‘Still, this is law energy, not magic power. If this fusion were to destabilize…’

Evan remembered how the ice sphere he created had exploded earlier, and he feared that happening to him, especially since Destruction was in the mix.

“I’d rather avoid that.”

Instead, Evan summoned his ‘Factor Mimic’, a Mimic of himself with 50% of his base power. It enjoyed the same stat bonuses as he did, but those bonuses scaled off the 50% it possessed.

As the mimic materialized, Evan conjured a strong sword with a good amount of magic power and tossed it to the Mimic.

“Alright. Show me if this fusion holds.”

Evan stepped back as he said that and the Mimics body surged with energy as it attempted the fusion.

The air around it warped as the conflicting energies of ice and fire were being drawn to the same source, layered atop one another.

It then charged towards Tyvi and Tyn who exchanged a glance, before moving to intercept the mimic without a word.

Tyvi struck first, her blade flashing with a surge of sword law energy as she delivered an overhead slash.

The mimic parried with its sword, but the still unstable fusion of law energies on the blade caused the weapon to crack slightly under the impact.

Tyvi followed up with a sweeping kick, forcing the mimic back and Tyn took the opening, his great sword glowing with Earth and Water Law energy as he delivered a crushing strike.

Although the mimic managed to block, the force of Tyn’s attack sent it skidding across the ground.

The mimic retaliated, releasing a blast of destruction-infused frostfire at the siblings, but Tyvi easily deflected it with her Ice Law barrier, while Tyn countered with a wave of water that extinguished the remaining flames.

Not letting up, Tyvi lunged and struck the mimic’s weapon, shattering the fragile fusion of energies around it and Tyn followed up with an upward arcing slash, sending the mimic airborne.

Before it could recover, the siblings delivered the finishing blows—Tyvi’s energy-charged blade sliced through its body while Tyn’s great sword crashed down from the opposite direction to end the fight.

Unable to withstand the dual attack, the Mimic disintegrated in a shower of light.

Evan watched impassively as his mimic was defeated in ten strikes, before sighing and dismissing the sword he had given it.

“That didn’t end well. The Mimic is too weak to deal with them both.”

The boy pressed his fingers to his chin as he sunk into his thoughts, but it didn’t take long for him to make a decision.

A decision that only took a second in reality as he used Time Difference.

“In this case, I might as well just test something else. Two birds with one stone, or so they call it.”

As Evan said that, the ground behind him ruptured violently, sending jagged shards of earth, and spears of water and ice hurtling towards him at supersonic speed.

Without sparing the attack a glance, Evan leapt into the air, backflipping over the projectiles and landing behind the attack’s area of effect.

As his boots touched down on the ground, the boy continued speaking to himself.

“As I’m level 705 now, I should be able to use this without the aid of the Akashic Page.”

Evan held up his hand and a series of concentric magic circles materialized on his palm. The topmost circle was the largest, radiating powerful and law energy; the second, significantly smaller, pulsed lightly with magic power and the third, mid-sized, swirled a mix of colours inside.

Above his head, an identical array of circles formed in the air, mirroring the ones on his palm. They released a light that scanned his body from head to toe, their colours changing to match the hues of his Unique Skills.

Finally, Evan spoke.

“World Magic: Spell Number 9: Einherjar.”

A blinding light engulfed the area, causing Tyvi and Tyn to halt their attacks and shield their eyes.

When the light finally subsided, the concentric circles above Evan’s head shifted to the empty space beside him and descended toward the ground. As they descended, they generated a humanoid entity, and by the time they touched the ground and vanished, a second Evan was left behind.

This second Evan—the Einherjar—was completely expressionless.

Its cold gaze met the dragonslayer siblings with no trace of emotion, as it was an echo of Evan’s form stripped of personality.

“Here.”

Evan tossed his sword, the Unforged Vale, to the Einherjar and it caught the blade mid-air without even looking at Evan.

Seeing this, Tyvi’s lips twisted into a frown as she spoke.

“Another clone?”

Beside her, Tyn gripped his great sword tightly and narrowed his eyes. He could sense that this ‘clone’ was vastly different from the one Evan had summoned before.

‘For starters, I can’t sense the depths of its magic power…’

Such a thought crossed Tyn’s mind as he activated his Unique Skill and spoke.

“This one’s not like the last. It’s got something else. We’ll destroy it before it can use whatever special powers it has.”

Tyvi nodded and immediately, both of them charged towards the Einherjar, while Evan watched them and sighed.

“A pity.

Then again, I can’t blame you. There’s no way you’d know.”

Evan spoke to himself as the Einherjar charged forward, closing the gap between itself and the siblings in an instant.

Their expressions morphed into ones of shock at its speed, and Evan simply created a shield to block the shockwave the sonic boom the Einherjar created left behind as he continued speaking.

“That Einherjar is incapable of using any magic spells or my Unique Skills. But in return, for every Unique Skill it cannot use…”

The dragonslayer siblings tried to twist their bodies to attack the Einherjar, their instincts screaming danger as it raised its sword.

“…It gains raw power.”

Evan finished his words, his tone laced with finality.

“In other words, my Einherjar is a purely strong version of me without my weaknesses.”

The Einherjar swung its blade faster than the sound of Evan’s words could reach the ears of those he spoke to.

No skills activated, no techniques used, no elements infused, no law energies either—just a simple horizontal swing.

**KAABOOMM!!!

An explosion of pure magic power erupted from the swing, a blast so immense it tore through the area like a force of nature.

The detonation that made nuclear weapons look ‘cute’, splintered the ground and sent shockwaves tearing through the air.

Over a thousand Aramisian soldiers nearby, and even the Gozonians they fought perished in an instant, and they weren’t even the targets!

As for said targets, they were sent flying through the air like ragdolls, before crashing into the scorched earth, bloodied and disoriented.

Looking at the giant crater left where the Einherjar’s swing had landed from above, Evan rubbed his chin and mused aloud.

“That’s far stronger than I expected.”

He sipped a potion juice pack to replenish the magic power he consumed on the World Magic spell, before commenting on the energy cost.

“It costs almost as much as my Nether Cage. Makes it both suitable and not suitable to use as a trump card.”

Sighing, Evan descended from the sky and onto the ground, landing with his feet atop Tyn’s stomach. The force of his landing shattered the dragonslayer’s ribs, making the broken bones pierce his internal organs and forcing blood up his mouth.

“Einherjar, deal with the other one.”

By his command, the motionless Einherjar moved and swung his blade down onto Tyvi’s body, just missing by a hair’s breadth as the woman barely rolled away to dodge.

Evan ignored that scene and focused on Tyn, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up, before slamming him down on the ground and dragging his head across the earth for over a kilometre in an instant.

He lifted Tyn into the air once more and flung him down on the ground, before proceeding to rain down punches on the poor dragonslayer.

The impact of his strikes cracked bone and sent a spray of blood into the air, but Evan didn’t stop until the dragonslayer was on the brink of death.

He activated Electroflame, and as the rose of flames bloomed on Tyn’s chest, Evan activated fracture and brought his fist down.

But before his punch could connect, a brilliant glow suddenly erupted from Tyn’s chest. A hidden artifact embedded into his armour activated, unleashing a sudden blast of water and earth law energy.

Evan barely had time to react as the twin forces slammed into Evan at point-blank range with the force of a hurricane.

Crossing his arms in front of him, he braced against the torrent, but the sheer force sent him hurtling backwards. His body skidded across the ground, carving deep gouges into the earth.

When he came to a stop, his coat was in tatters and his skin was marred with bruises and lacerations.

Evan pushed himself up to his feet, his eyes narrowing in annoyance. Blood trickled down the side of his face, but his expression was rather calm.

“This is what you get for messing around too long, I guess.”

He took a step forward and vanished, reappearing right in front of Tyn and grabbing the wounded man’s leg. Flames erupted from Evan’s hand, engulfing Tyn’s body in a firestorm as Evan lifted him into the air and slammed his body down into the ground.

The impact shook the earth and Evan did it again.

And again.

And again.

Each strike carved deeper into the ground until Tyn’s body was little more than a limp, battered husk.

Finally, Evan released him, letting the half-dead dragonslayer drop unceremoniously to the ground.

“Mesarthim: Green.”

The boy ditched his torn coat as he used the flames of life to heal himself, before shifting his gaze in the direction where the Einherjar had beaten Tyvi.

Using his Farsight to zoom in, he grabbed Tyn’s leg and teleported over there.
