Reincarnated Hero System

85 Unexpected Interference

**BOOOMM!!

He ignored the 'small fry' and turned his gaze towards the young hero who was bleeding from the side of his head while glaring at him with eyes shining a golden light.

Stretching out his arm, his eyes flashed with a fiery red light as he called out a spell.

"Fire Magic: Spiral Flames."

Flames were generated from the palm of his hand, coming out in a spiralling motion, which created a tornado-shaped blast of flames.

The flames' intensity was enough to incinerate anything in its path, and that it did, until it was stopped by a similar spell fired from the both hands of the young hero.

'He copied my spell? Pointless.'

Xakon kicked off the ground and dashed through the flames, his increased resistance and magic armour protecting him as he arrived in front of the shocked hero instantly.

Without waiting for him to react, he stretched out his right hand to grab the boy's head once more, but his hands grabbed empty air as the boy disappeared from the spot.

'Teleportation again? His magic power should be low, so he can't go far. In his situation, I would attempt to launch an attack that would disorient my opponent and give me time to recover.

The best place would be...here!'

Xakon instantly analysed things from Evan's standpoint (except that the spirits were supplying him magic power) and stretched out his right leg to the side, just in time for Evan to re appear beside him.

"GUH!!"

The bottom of his foot slammed into Evan's torso as he twisted his body and used the back side of his outstretched right hand to slam into the side of Evan's head.

"That was quite the awkward posture."

He remarked to himself as he put down his legs and walked over to the boy collapsed on the floor and grabbed his head.

'Hmmm?'

Sensing movement behind him, he turned around and saw Pride struggling to get up. He also noticed his discarded weapon not far from her location.

Seeing this, an idea came to Xakon's mind as he grinned sadistically before spreading out his wings and kicking off the ground in Pride's direction.

He grabbed the face of the injured Pride and kicked off the ground into the air, flying up for a few metered before abruptly dashing back to the ground, slamming the two in his hands on the cold hard ground.

**BAMMMMM!!!!!!

Without even waiting a bit, he ran towards the direction of his weapon while dragging the both of them in the sand.

Upon reaching his destination, he pulled them up abruptly and slammed their bodies together before tossing them in opposing directions.

"Now then. Shall we conclude?"

He spoke with a grin as he picked up his sword and turned to walk in Evan's direction, however, the sudden surge of magic power he felt behind him made him turn around and rouse his demonic energy in response.

"Flower Cannon!"

***WOOOONGGG!!!!

A beam of concentrated magic power crashed into Xakon's body, knocking him back by a few meters.

Although the attack was unexpected, it did not possess enough power to deal any major damage to him, especially in his powered-up state.

"Breath of Life!"

He heard a feminine voice scream out as a wave of magic power spread out from a point in front of him, phasing through his body as it travelled towards it target behind him.

"Royal Knights Bladework: Ark!"

A voice screamed out as a wave of aura crashed into the side of his body, sending him flying into the air.

**BAMM!!!

He regained his bearings mid air and managed to coordinate his landing, his gaze locking on the culprit, a man wearing a full body armour like his.

The difference was that this man's armour was silver in colour and had a crest he recognized on it.

'Why the hell is a royal knight here?!'

Although he was stunned at the appearance of the royal knight, he snapped out of his surprise and scanned the area for more enemies.

'Six royal knights? What are they doing here? And who was the one who launched the beam attack earlier?'

His pupils darted around as he found the answer to his question in the next moment, catching the sight of a blonde-haired figure casting what he believed was healing magic on the young hero he was about to kill.

"Are you for real?!"

He screamed out in rage as he kicked off the ground and dashed towards the Blonde, intending on killing her alongside the hero.

"You shall not pass!"

One of the Royal Knight's screamed out as he utilized a Royal Knights Shield technique to halt Xakon's dash.

**BAMMM!!

Xakon slammed into the shield and was knocked back a bit, not having any time to rest as three other knights simultaneously used bladework techniques on him in the next moment.

"Royal Knights Bladework: Gant!"

◇ ◇ ◇

"Breath of Life!"

The blonde figure who was kneeling in front of Evan while using a 'Breath Series Skill' to heal him, was none other than Eliza, the priestess that Evan met in Luka some months ago.

She poured as much magic as she could into Evan's body, trying her utmost best to brink him back from the brink of death.

"Didn't...e-expect to see you so soon."

"Shut up and let me heal you.

Breath of Life!"

[Yeah! Shut up!]

[If it wasn't for us, you'd be dead. Let her heal you.]

Eliza scolded Evan and used her skill once more, causing colour to finally return to the boy's complexion as he pacified the spirits who were screaming at him in anger.

'Those little critters are as loud as ever, still, it's thanks to them that Pride and I aren't already dead.'

"Lady Eliza."

One of the royal knights that Laurene sent along with her called out to her with Pride's injured body in his arms.

"Cough!!...w-what?"

Evan, who could finally move properly, looked up to meet Eliza's sapphire eyes that had teardrops spilling from them.

His gaze then moved onto Pride's unconscious body, his eyes widening as he grabbed Eliza's hands that were about to cast her healing skill on him once more and turned them in Pride's direction.

"Wha-!"

As she had already used the activated the skill, the healing light fell on Pride's body as to Eliza's surprise, her wounds began healing at a visible rate.

'Even with my skill, its not supposed to be this fast.'

Evan didn't even bother to think about how or why Eliza was here, only thinking about healing making her heal Pride so they could execute the plan they had prepared.

"You can put me down now, human."

The knight was stunned as the person he felt was unconscious suddenly spoke to him. He reflexively dropped her on the ground, earning a glare that sent chills down his spine.

Pride got on her feet and looked at Eliza that was staring at him with a stunned face.

"Oh, the priestess from that time."

"Huh?"

Pride ignored Eliza's shout and turned her gaze in the direction of the five royal knights who were doing their best to hold off the demon Xakon who was trying to get to them.

"One of them is a master level existence, no wonder they can hold on."

She then stretched her hand into the air and called out to her sword.

"Vanitas."

**WHOOSH!!

The sword of Pride flew back into her open hand at a speed that Eliza could barely catch. To her surprise, Evan took a similar action as he called out the name of his weapon.

"Unforged."

Albeit at a slower speed, the blade flew into his hands as he grasped it tightly and turned to Eliza.

"Can you layer as many buffs as you can on us, we're gonna kill that thing now."

"What do you mean 'You're gonna kill it'? You're injured! You're in no state to fight."

Eliza shot back in anger as she got up from the ground and glared at Evan. However, the young hero only sighed and replied.

"I don't have time to explain why but its impossible for those knights to beat that guy. They'd die.

If you don't want that, then buff us so we can kill him quickly."

Evan's voice came out as a bit harsh but he couldn't help it. He was worried about Kayla as he felt she was injured through their link and wanted to attend to her, but killing the demon came first.

It was now or never.

"You have a lot of explaining to do."

Although she complained, Eliza picked up her staff and activated her support magic skill as she began preparing various buff magic.

Evan forced a smile and patted her head before turning in Pride's direction only to find the demon staring at him with a dead gaze.

"What?"

"Nothing."

A wave of green light washed across Evan and Pride as they felt their strength being enhanced and their magic power rising.

The two nodded towards each other as Evan began the chant Pride had taught him earlier.

"Discarding that which is just and embracing the fragment evil, I, Evankhell, summon forth the Demon Superbia into my vessel.

Demonic Possession."
