Demon Lord’s Reincarnation

Ren’s consciousness was getting a little hazy, his right arm was numb, and his breathing was becoming unstable. Still, the smile on his face never faded, he even became more excited as his regeneration was no longer able to help him keep his wounds in check.

Even though Ren could already use summoning spells, and could summon an army to fight for him, he did not do so. The reason for that is because this was a test the original incarnation gave him, well that’s what he tells himself, but the truth is he didn’t want anyone helping him in this enjoyable battle of his. Ren wanted to enjoy this battle with his body, and as he expected it was a thrill like no other. Ren looked ahead and saw that the hundreds of Demi-Gods he was facing were now left with only three people.

These three remaining Demi-Gods were the strongest of the lot, so even with the others being dead it didn’t get easy for Ren in fact it became even harder to fight with his current condition. Due to Ren’s injuries, his consciousness was flickering. This would’ve been the most desperate moment for anyone else, but to Ren, it was the most exciting moment, this was the moment he could very well die.

Ren went back to using the Death Scythe as it was his best weapon, and unlike before he was just fighting three people now so he could use the death scythe more effectively.

The remaining three were a Demi-God with the power to control space to a certain extent, the other could summon instantaneous strength that could match and even surpass Ren’s own strength but it can only last for a few seconds and he needed to wait for a few minutes before being able to use it again, his normal strength was also good but nowhere near Ren’s. Lastly, there was the most dangerous Demi-God that Ren perceived, throughout the entire fight she only made two moves, and both times were the two times Ren nearly died.

Ren had no idea what kind of ability the last Demi-God had, and that made her extremely dangerous. Also, unlike the other Demi-Gods she seems to retain a bit of her sanity and only moved when she found the best timing. Ren had no idea what was going on with her, but that just made it even more fun.

The two Demi-Gods rush at Ren, and as Ren was about to slice through the enemy he felt something squeezing his body locking it in place. At this moment when he could not move the Demi-God with instantaneous strength appeared before Ren and was about to slam at him with all his might. In normal times Ren would’ve accepted such a blow with relish, but in his current condition getting hit with that kind of power might end his life.

Ren quickly checked what he could use and in the end, he found that he could only move his left hand. Ren saw the incoming Demi-God about to hit him and the smile on his face became even more vicious. The very second the Demi-God was about to hit, Ren moved his hand and placed it forward. The Demi-God who was charging at Ren collided with Ren’s left hand.

After the collision, the space lock was dispelled and the outcome of the attack was seen. Ren’s left hand had bent in an odd way, on the other hand, the Demi-God with instantaneous strength had a hole in his abdomen.

“Heh, my aim was off, oh well.”

Ren kicked his bent arm pushing it back into place and then he charged at the Demi-God in front of him. As Ren was about to slice th Demi-God with instantaneous strength, the Demi-God suddenly disappeared. The other Demi-God who controls space had teleported his ally.

‘So I need to get rid of that guy first.’

Ren threw his scythe at the Demi-God that controls space, and the Demi-God unconsciously reacted by stopping the scythe with his space lock, it was then Ren appeared beside him and struck.

Ren’s fist pierced through the other party’s body, and the Demi-God’s heart which was hit exploded on the spot. The Demi-God as he was dying had a moment of clarity the link between him and the ORIGIN disappeared, and the Demi-God smiled peacefully as he faced his own demise. It was at that moment Ren sensed danger he stepped back and a knife slashed through where Ren’s neck was before jumping backward. The Demi-God that hasn’t made a move for a while finally acted. It was surprising that even Ren wasn’t able to detect her presence before she struck.

“Heh, you really are the most dangerous.”

While Ren was speaking he grabbed hold of his scythe and swung it behind him without even looking. The Demi-God with instantaneous strength was sliced in half with a shocked look on his face.

“So… It’s just you… and I left.”

As Ren was speaking he was having a hard time focusing and he was already out of breath. It has been a long time since Ren was in such a dire situation, the last time he was in such a situation was the time when he faced the avatar of the ORIGIN. His body was screaming in pain, Ren almost knelt on the ground but he used his scythe as a walking stick to remain standing.

“This will be the last strike!”

Ren shouted at the enemy and also at himself to wake himself up. After the last attack, he had already guessed what kind of ability the other party was using. The Demi-God before him was able to jump a few seconds forward in time. This was the reason why no matter how hard he tried he could not detect her until she made a move. So the only way to hit her is the moment when she attacks.

Despite being barely conscious Ren waited patiently for the other party to make a move. Ren was already showing a lot of openings but despite that, the other party doesn’t seem like she wants to attack. The female Demi-God might have been in a maddened state but she still retained a bit of her rationality and she knew that an opponent like Ren showing so many openings meant it was not safe to attack.

‘I can pretty much guess what she’s thinking. I was trying to preserve some energy but I guess I have no choice.’ 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹．𝗻𝐞𝘁

Ren with some difficulty took a fighting stance, and the openings he had disappeared except for one area, the opening was barely there. Seeing that tiny opening the Demi-God finally made a move. The two of them looked like they just passed by each other but the truth was that the two had already attacked.

Ren knelt on the ground panting, on the other hand, the female Demi-God was sliced clean in half. Ren looked behind him and bowed his head.

“Thanks for the battle.”

Ren was about ready to fall into a deep sleep when a huge tear in the space before him appeared, it was then he suddenly felt an overwhelming presence. Something was coming, something much much more dangerous than the Demi-Gods he had fought.
