Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 209 A Different Kind Of Boss Battle



The 'Tenth Finger' of the Demonic Hand cursed her ancestors with all her might for using up all the luck in the bloodline and causing her to end up in a situation like this.

Looking at the purple-haired and golden-eyed man who was causally looking through one of her magic pouches while standing atop a small hill made of the corpses of her most trusted subordinates, the amount of fear the elven woman felt broke through to new heights.

'Shit! Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!!!

It wasn't supposed to turn out like this!!!

Why the fuck is he still on this continent??!!!'

She gazed at the handsome face of the man standing not too far from her, with slightly tanned skin and a muscular build.

His long unkempt purple hair hung loosely on his shoulders, with a few strands blowing in the wind.

This man was none other than the youngest member of 'The Five', the strongest beings in Aidos.

The Transcendent Level Human who had gained the title of 'Strongest Human'.

Rathal.

Although he looked like he couldn't really care less about her existence, her senses told her that if she took even a single step backwards, she might as well forfeit her life.

[Fighting is futile, don't even entertain the thought of clashing against him for even a microsecond.

The best option is to instantly teleport away using that teleportation stone you were given.

Fusing would only make him think that we intend to fight and that's the worst possible scenario.]

The voice of her contracted demon rang out in her head, but the demon's words sounded like distant whispers to her as her mind was clouded by fear.

She was one of the few beings in Aidos who truly understood just how nonstandard the existences of 'The Five' were, this was precisely why even she who had not cowered when faced with a Legendary Level Existence of her race in the past, was currently paralysed by fear.

Meanwhile, the object of her fear had only just been trying to satisfy his curiosity, nothing more and nothing less.

Rathal Cox had always been a very curious person, and he was someone who would pretty much stop at nothing to satisfy his curiosity.

In the original timeline, Rathal was supposed to be currently in a dungeon in the Beta Continent, attempting to gain a glimpse of one of the universal law doctrines that held the secret to him elevating his existence level to the next.

However, Evan's action of killing Xakon, a demon from another world, got him thinking about how this thirteen-year-old was able to somehow take out this demon.

He wanted to know what was so special about this 13-year-old who was not even Level 50 a few months earlier, that made him capable of killing a demon above level 100.

The man wanted to see this boy for himself, to see if he could tell how he managed to get that strong in just a few months.

Even if it was a low-level demon, one had to consider the fact that the demon was a master-level existence.

To the other members of 'The Five', it may have not been anything much, after all, Xakon wasn't the only low-level demon to slip through the cracks within the past few decades, and he definitely wasn't the only one who had been killed.

However, no demon had been killed by someone as young as Evan.

For the rest of 'The Five', the only curiosity they held towards Evan was just their desire to know if he was among the new generation of Seven Heroes.

And Rathal declaring his intention to check personally, made them turn their attention elsewhere, after all, the rest of 'The Five' were busy people. Each of them was the leader of a nation after all.

So Rathal came over, and discovered that Evan was indeed a member of the seven heroes, and just to mess with the young teenager, Rathal decided to give him a little 'scare'.

Afterwards, he was planning to return to the Beta continent, but on his way out of the Great Western Empire, he was randomly snooping around the 'underground world' and ended up discovering the suspicious movements of a certain group of people he identified to be from a group of demon worshippers, the 'Demonic Hand'.

With his curiosity ignited once more, he decided to tail them for a few weeks and discovered all their plans, with them none the wiser that a transcendent level being was within their midst.

He discovered that they were planning something they called a 'Disaster' and it was apparently a backup plan they had in the event that the original 'Disaster' plan failed.

Further research showed that the reason the original disaster palm failed, was because one of the main catalysts for the plan, was stolen from the dungeon in Merdin.

He saw the lists of people, who held both high combat and political power, and were their suspects for taking away this catalyst they needed. There was a second list that had only the names of those on the first, who had entered Merdin's dungeon within the week of the 'theft'.

And on that list, two names caught his attention.

'Evan Del Eris.'

'Laurene Val Hayes'.

The name of the boy who had killed the demon Xakon, and the boy who from the reports he had, possessed an ominous jet-black one-handed sword that occasionally had red lines running through it like veins, just like the sword that the Demonic Hand Executive, the Sixth Finger was supposed to retrieve from Merdin.

He was reported to be in the dungeon, exactly twenty-four hours before the Sixth Finger reported that the Sword was missing.

And he was seen there along with another person who 'The Five' had pretty much concluded was a member of the new generation heroes due to the fact that she openly revealed her mystic eyes in public recently, Laurene Hayes.

'This...is too good to be a coincidence.'

The moment he found out all he wanted, he decided to bring his undercover mission to a close, a decision which led to the current scenario of him standing on the corpses of both senior, middle and junior members of the Demonic Hand who worked under the tenth finger and their contracted demons, while being gazed at by the fear-stricken 'Tenth Finger' of the Demonic hand.
