Demon Lord’s Reincarnation

Ren who was closest to the ball of mana and blood felt the powerful aura that it was emitting. If it were anyone else they would’ve already burst into a bloody mist by the sheer pressure that was coming from the ball of mana and blood.

Ren used his mana sensing to see if there were still people in the city. After a quick scan, Ren was able to sense a few people still moving around in the city. He wasn’t that worried as he knew most of the people still present in the city, and all of them were powerful enough to be able to escape if need be.

So without worrying about the people in the city Ren continued to wait for his opponent to fully materialize. After a while, the ball of mana and blood shrunk considerably. It was now taking a different shape. The blood now had a human shape and the mana covered the blood and it slowly turned into something similar to skin.

What materialized took shape of a human male with flawless skin that was practically shining. He might look like a handsome human male wearing a dark green robe, but anyone who saw him would never believe that this person was a human. The aura he was emanating was so intense that even Ren was affected by it.

Once the being had fully formed he stretched his right hand to the side and summoned a long staff with a multicolored crystal on top of it. After doing that he finally took notice of Ren who was floating in front of him. The pupils of the man look like tiny stars swirling around the galaxy. The moment he laid eyes on Ren it was as if he could see through his very being in an instant.

“Hmph, so this is your current form o’ mortal who challenges the Gods.”

Before Ren gave a response he extended his right hand and a portal appeared where he pulled out Snertal and placed it on his shoulders.

“Oh it seems like you know me but I don’t know who you are. It would be better if your name yourself now, so I can remember your name after you die.”

“Arrogant human, even though you have the irritating title of the Strongest Mortal Soul, you are in the end just a mortal. So you need to show your respect to the God that stands before you and kneel!”

The moment those words came out of the God’s mouth it was like a mandate from heaven as the clouds grew darker and a pressure like no other assaulted Ren. Yet instead of going down and kneeling as the God wanted, Ren instead showed a vicious smile and remained floating in the air.

“If you want me to kneel, then you would need to force me to do it. Come on New God show me your might!”

“Hmph, very well. I shall show you the disparity between you a mortal and I a God.”

The unknown God raised his staff and dark clouds started to rumble and the sound of crackling thunder could be heard. The New God then pointed his staff at Ren which made numerous thunderbolts rain down on Ren. Seeing the incoming thunderbolts Ren did not move an inch nor did he use a spell to block them, instead he received all the thunderbolts with his body.

The God who watched the entire thing frowned and as the smoke cleared he saw Ren with small black marks on his body but overall no damage.

“HAHAHAHA! It’s been so long since I last took real damage! That would mean that you are capable of harming me, that means this will be a real battle!” 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨

The excitement in Ren’s voice was like that of a happy child. He then taunted the God by making a come-on gesture while his sword was still on his shoulders. Seeing Ren’s blatant disregard of his authority the God spoke in anger his voice was like booming thunder.

“You dare, you dare mortal! For you insolence your death is not enough. I will break apart everything you worked hard to create, I will destroy everything that you hold dear, starting with this city of yours.”

The God pointed his staff on the city below and an invisible force of pure mana descended onto the city flattening it to the ground. Just like that the glorious capital of the Empire New Grenton was no more. Yet unknown to the New God one building actually survived that blast, the pub known as the Lonely Cat had survived.

“See how powerless you are! You can’t protect anything, and this is but the first of many things I will take from you. If you kneel and beg me now I might feel benevolent enough to just kill you and be done with it.” As the God looked at Ren smugly he was surprised to see Ren who was seemingly unaffected by the flattening of the city.

“Blah, blah, blah, you know you talk much for someone who came to kill me. So how about you stop talking and come try to kill me!”

“Don’t you care about the city you created or the people in it?”

“… Oh, that’s surprising a high and mighty New God like you actually cares?” Ren shrugged his shoulders before he answered the God’s question. “Well, I guess I can answer your question since you asked nicely. A city to me is just a pile of rocks, you can just rebuild it. As for the people in it, do you really think that the citizens who live in my city are so weak?”

The God then looked below and was surprised to see that what Ren said was true, the buildings might have all been destroyed but the people in them were able to escape. The God could sense a spatial spell was used to move the people that were in the city.

“Hmph, very well, they have just extended their lives for a little while. Once I’m done with you I’ll not only kill your citizens but I will extinguish their very souls so they would never be able to reincarnate.”

Once the God was done speaking he made a circular motion with his staff, and a magic circle appeared below him. The ground then shook as a large portion of land was lifted from the ground. It was a like mountain was now above Ren’s head.

Seeing the spectacular scene before him Ren’s vicious smile grew ever wider as he finally removed his sword from his shoulders and pointed it at the mountain above his head.

“NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!”
