Reincarnated Hero System

"That's a bad idea, you know?"

The young hero's free arm was already moving through the air as he spoke, tendrils of golden lightning crackling around his fist as he sent a punch to the monster's arm.

Although it attempted to dodge, it suddenly realised that it could not move as its feet had been held down by its own shadow, keeping it in place long enough for Evan's fist to connect.

Kayla who had been silent from the start poked her head out from above Pride's head where she was talking with Amy and glared at the boss monster.

Her Electroflame skill was activated as a small rose of flames bloomed on the monster's arm, seconds before Evan's fist slammed into it.

**BAMM!!

The rose of flames, however, was only the 'flame' part of the skill, with the 'electro' part coming a second after Evan's fist hit, causing a small distortion in the air as the energy in the lightning flashed back, multiplying the destructive power of the strike by nearly three times.

Even Evan's shadow bind was unable to hold the blade wraith's body in place as it was sent flying into the air, smashing through the bronze throne before slamming into the wall behind it.

Seeing this, Evan and even Pride who was spectating had wide eyes as they had never expected such a development.

"Hey, Kayla."

[Master?]

"Let's try that again."

[Okay!]

Evan smiled upon hearing the spirit's reply, coating his fist in lightning once more as he kicked off the ground and blitzed towards the blade wraith whose body was still embedded inside the wall.

"Hup!"

The young hero pulled back his fist and stuck forward immediately after, with Kayla activating her Electroflame skill at the same time.

**BAMM!!!

Before the poor boss monster could even realise what was going on, the rose of flames had bloomed on its chest, with Evan's fist landing right after.

Right before the lightning on his fist could flow forward, Kayla's lightning came in and the two energies combined, distorting the air slightly as the energies flashed back once more.

The blade wraith's armour shattered effortlessly as Evan's lightning-coated fist hit it straight in its chest.

"GAAAAAAA!!!!!"

The monster let out a scream of pain and coughed up blood in its helmet, its eyes turning red in rage as it activated its magic that it had not used from the start.

Simultaneously, it activated another skill, making Evan who was about to balance himself and attack once more, blink out of the area in haste.

**SWOOSSHHH!!

Right after he blinked away, the blade wraith's fallen sword sliced through the air where Evan was standing seconds ago, his eyes narrowing as he instantly figured out the reason for this.

But before he could take action, the effect of the blade wraith's magic began, with the ground rumbling as Evan found it difficult to maintain his balance.

'Tier two Earth magic, huh?'

A magic circle flashed on the floor as the ground underneath Evan's feet cracked open the moment he had that thought, with a series of large columns easily twice his height protruding from the ground and crashing towards him.

"Barrier!"

Eliza's voice rang out as a translucent barrier appeared right underneath Evan's feet, the young hero thanking her internally as he used it like a springboard to jump into the air.

The barrier shattered right afterwards, however, Evan was already in the air, turning his gaze towards the blade wraith that had pulled its body out of the wall and was glaring at him.

'It has earth magic, weapon control, blade cannon and another skill called swirl.

I want the blade cannon skill as it seems to be a long-ranged aura-based skill, just that, unlike aura slash, this one can be used as a multiple target skill.'

Gravity pulled his body down to the ground but by this time the earth pillars had already stopped protruding so he landed on them calmly while keeping his gaze on the injured monster.

[Evan, Focus.]

'Hmm?'

The voice of the high demon rang out in his mind as he was about to ask what was wrong before noticing it himself.

'Wind...?

The swirl skill!!'

Evan did not hesitate to jump off the column and land on the ground, just in time to see a swirling column of wind appear in front of the rock he was standing on.

The next moment, a small vacuum field was generated and the upper half of the rock was pulled into it before being shredded by countless tiny wind blades.

'Looks nice but it's not my target.'

With that thought, he kicked off the ground dashing towards the blade wraith and releasing an aura slash mid-way.

In response, the injured boss gripped its sword tighter and swung wildly it with movements so fast it seemed to form an illusion with its high frequency.

It didn't just swing wildly, as it also activated a skill, the same skill Evan wanted to copy from it.

"Blade cannon!"

With each swing of its sword, a thick blue aura slash was released. From each of these slashes, smaller fist-sized bullets of aura were launched out, with each slash launching out at least 3 three aura bullets.

_{𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢}

When multiplied by the number of times the blade wraith swung its sword, Evan had to deal with at the very least fifteen aura slashes and forty-five aura bullets.

'Yeah, right.'

The young hero didn't even think twice about activating blink, his destination being the space above the blade wraith as he appeared atop the monster's head and slashed downwards, towards its shoulder with his sword imbued in aura.

'Kuro!'

**BAM!

The blade of the unforged slammed into the boss' armour and shattered it, before going down to cut into its sword arm. The force behind the slash, was naturally too much for the monster going through agony to regain standing, with its body falling backwards and slamming onto the wall.

"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!"

The monster screamed loudly as it felt the pain of the aura-infused blade slicing through its flesh and cutting into its bone.

,m It wanted to flail about in pain and fling the human away but it realised that it could not move as its shadow seemed to have gotten a life of its own and had restrained its movements.

'The human's shadow control!'
