Reincarnated Hero System

"Let's be positive."

With those words Evan placed his palm atop the ice block on the ground and generated a full elemental shield around him with the ice element, he then took a deep breath and activated blessing of destruction.

As the red aura of destructive essence surrounded his body, he activated the third skill on the list of skills he planned to use to end this lich's life while simultaneously dispersing his ice magic.

"Energy Blast."

***BOOOOMMMM!!!!!

The elemental shield that he had put up to prevent any disturbances easily shattered into shards of ice because of the shockwave that spread out for hundreds of metres.

Both undead and allies alike were knocked off their feet because of this, with the attention of the remaining forces on the battlefield being turned towards Evan's direction.

As for the one who caused this phenomenon, he was currently at the bottom of a six feet deep crater, holding his smoking palm over a bunch of broken bones.

Where the lich's ribcage once was, there was now a large gaping hole that went on to bore into the ground for heaven knows how many hundred metres deep.

The lich's inferno sights flickered for a short moment before permanently dimming, after which Evan cursed out loud.

"Fuck Positivity."

The notifications floating right in front of him were confirmation that his earlier gut feeling was 100% accurate.

|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered.

|Isolating the Energy absorbed from Level 305 Existence; Greater Lich Beg'dikeec|

|Isolated Energy would not be used as Experience for Increasing Host's Level.

Channelling the Energy into Unique Skill: Adaptive Evolution. |

|Hidden Condition Met

Kill and Absorb the Energy of an Existence over Level 300-?|

"And here I thought that'd be my ticket to ascend a few dozen levels at once."

Evan picked up his fallen transmitter and jumped out of the crater before dusting his overcoat. He felt a lot of gazes on him and was about to speak, only to suddenly sense a huge number of incoming presences.

His gaze snapped towards the side and his eyes darkened, moving a hand towards the transmitter on his ear and speaking into it.

"Evan Eris here.

Majors? Mind telling me what position is South-west of our location on the map?"

[Southwest? That's Position J, Lord Eris.]

"Well then…I guess we know where the undead missing from position J are, huh?"

[Missing undead? Sorry, can you exp-! Oh, my goddess!!]

Evan chuckled lightly as he heard the Major's exclamation of surprise upon finally noticing the incoming swarm of undead creatures.

He pulled out actual magic and strength-enhancing potion bottles, downing their contents, before doing the same with a few stamina potions.

Evan heard a loud screech and looked up to see multiple bone wyverns, along with a few other airborne-type undead flying into the area.

However, two particularly strong presences that he detected atop two of the wyverns made his eyes widen in shock.

Without delay, he pulled out his other communicator from his pocket and spoke into it.

"Guild Master Dasyra? You there?"

There was a short silence before the half-beastkin woman's voice came through, with Evan heaving a sigh of relief as he spoke.

"Can you send 'him' to Position A. And tell the Duke to give the Brigade Captain Level Knights the go-ahead to move."

[Huh? What happened?] _{𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂}

"Well…I thought that the undead from Position J moved over to A as reinforcements, but the presences I just sensed told me otherwise.

We're facing a new wave of undead monsters, and there's a high possibility that they were sent by the Eighth Finger himself.

The presences of those two Death Knights proves it. There weren't supposed to be any Death Knights at Position J, after all."

[!

I'd send 'him' to you immediately!]

"Also, send a message to the other positions to inform them of the possibility of reinforcements to the undead's forces."

Evan acknowledged her words before switching channels to the one that the A-rank adventurers at Position A were currently on and speaking into it.

He informed them that an S-rank adventurer was incoming and that they only needed to stall for time against the two Death Knights, all while preventing said Death Knights from attacking the weaker adventurers and soldiers.

After getting their affirmation, Evan took a deep breath and roused his magic power, before opening his mouth to call out to the spirits in the area.

"Spirits of Flames, Spirits of Lightning, Spirits of the Earth, Spirits of Water, Spirits of the wind, and Spirits that reside in the darkness and shadows.

I call out to you all."

His voice wasn't too loud; however, it was enough as the spirits who were closer to him, called out to the ones further away, who then called out to the ones even further away, and in the next minute Evan was surrounded by hundreds of low and mid-ranking spirits, both the ones that were originally in the battlefield, and the ones that came over after sensing their brethren coming towards this direction.

The concentration of ambient energy around Evan instantly quadrupled, grabbing the attention of both the Death Knights who were readying their weapons to clash with the A rankers, the A rankers themselves, the bone wyverns, and pretty much everyone capable of sensing energy on the battlefield.

Evan looked at the two high-ranked Earth and Water Spirits that hovered around him multiple times, before finally speaking.

[You human…you have the mark of one of the Great Spirits on you.]

"Yeah, I do.

She's not here now, though. She's probably having fun roasting a few hundred kilometres away from here."

Evan replied to the Earth spirit as he cracked his knuckles while taking slow steps forwards, however, before the spirit could say anything more, the boy continued.

"This isn't the time to talk about what Great Spirit I'm contracted to.

We have a lot of creatures who have exhausted their subscription to 'Life', trying to kill us, and most of my allies are exhausted from fighting since morning.

I'm going to need you guys to help to assist them in dealing with the reinforcements."

[…]

[I wanna blow away undead!]

[You idiot! Your measly wind can't blow them away. My flames would burn them all!!]

[Whoooo!]

[Everyone shut up!! The Higher ranks are talking.]

[I feel like eating wyvern meat for some reason.]

[Those things are all rotting flesh and bones, sure you wanna eat that?]

[Of course, he would, earth spirits eat everything!]

[No, we don't!]

[Kukuku, owner of a strong power calls me.]

[Destruction. Flowing blood amidst ear-splitting screams. That is what I want.]

[There's no blood, you edgy darkness spirit. They're undead!]

The high-ranked earth spirit remained silent after his words while the mid and low-ranked spirits happily flocked towards him while chattering about happily.

Evan patted the heads of a few of the lower ranks who snuggled up to him before looking at the incoming waves of undead creatures and saying.

"My magic energy is an offering to you…go wild."

The first half of his statement was directed at the two high ranks, while the second half was directed at all the spirits present.

Immediately after he spoke, there was a sudden silence as all the spirits unanimously kept quiet.

The next moment, they all flared their auras wildly, causing a suffocating pressure to descend upon the area.
