Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 84 True Form Released



The young hero slashed down with his sword, but Xakon coated his hand in aura and grabbed the blade, using his superior strength to fling both the sword and its wielder in a random direction.

The moment he flung Evan away, he was besieged by a wave of black flames from his left and a torrent of water from his right.

**CCRACKLEE!!!

Xakon spread out his wings and chose to take flight but a pearl of golden lightning suddenly appeared above his head, unleashing a dozen bolts of golden energy on his body.

'Shit!'

He cussed internally as he created a small sphere of condensed ice around him to block the three simultaneous attacks.

**BOOOOMMM!!!!

Flames, lightning and water all collided, resulting in an electrocharged steam explosion that broke the dome of ice Xakon had used to cover his body.

However, it had done its job and protected him. Now, it was his turn to retaliate.

Tossing his sword in the air, he cupped his palms together as a ball of condensed flames appeared in between.

He resultant cloud of steam from the earlier explosion to hide his current location as he condensed enough flames in his palm, before flapping his wings and propelling himself into the air.

Going airborne, saved him from losing his head as a demonic energy filled sword slashed the empty air where he was just standing.

"Die you damned pests."

Xakon rose both hands in the air and the condensed ball of flames that were cupped within his palms, swelled in size until it was nearly five metres large.

He then swung his hands downwards, the ball of flames following suit as it shot towards the ground.

"Hah!"

Pride cried out as she rose her hand in the air and created a complex two ringed magic circle. An illusory third ring appeared around the circumference of the magic circle, causing Xakon's eyes to widen in surprise.

However, he snapped out of it upon reading the magic circle and realising what Pride was about to do.

Flapping his wings with all his might, she flew higher into the air, going higher until he was sure he would be out of range of Pride's magic.

***KAAABOOOMMM!!!

The ball of flames he had created exploded into the air, dyeing the skies red.

Xakon heaved a sigh as he caught his breath before opening his status board and confirming that his level had returned to normal.

'Good. Now I can end this, once and for all.'

Demonic energy churned within him as all his injuries were healed due to the increment of his level. While his health and energy had not recovered, their maximum values were back and to normal.

His intelligence stat that had been lowered by his level reduction had also returned to normal, this meant he could use the spell he had wanted to from the very beginning.

◇ ◇ ◇

Xakon Ilmoth was descended from a prestigious line of demon nobility. In the demon world, his family held a lot of political and military power.

However, although he possessed the Ilmoth family name, he was just the last grandson of a branch family member, as such, he did not enjoy the prestige that the main family members enjoyed.

He left his family and joined the demon army on his own, choosing to join the intelligence division in order to maximize his shapeshifting skill's efficiency.

That was how he came to be sent as a spy into the world of Aidos, to scout the current state of the world for five years and return with reports for the top brass of the Demon Army.

He came into Aidos through a small gap in the dimensional rift that was opened up by a group of beings who seemed to be trying to break the seal on the rift and let the demons come through.

Xakon felt that it was foolish of them to join hands with the beings who were coming to conquer their world but he said nothing about it.

Using them, he was able to gain back ground information on Aidos and knowledge of the major powers here.

He chose to impersonate the second heir of a backwater noble territory that he had studied for over six months and made sure that. He then went on to poison the Baron who ruled the territory and killed off his other children to take the position.

Although this brought a bit of attention towards him, he was able to divert all suspicious towards him and carried on with his duty.

For five years, he ruled as the lord of this territory, while secretly contacting with all sorts of underground information guilds to get as much data on the major powers, their secrets and possible weaknesses.

During the last month of his stay here, he was walking around in the city undercover while gathering a few things for his return.

He entered the adventurer's guild and was met with the scene of a young fourteen boy about fourteen years old, requesting an adventurer rank promotion commission.

Originally thinking it was just another brat who was trying his luck, he intended to ignore it but something about the boy made him feel uneasy.

He then used his prying eyes skill on the boy and was shocked to realise that the boy was one of the 'Seven Heroes', a group of beings known for being the first to ever repel the demon world's invasion into other worlds.

Deeming him a threat, he tried to get the boy killed through different means but he seemed to survive somehow, even when he was matched with a dungeon boss that should have been at least a dozen levels above him.

Xakon was fed up and decided to take matters into his hands, even going as far as to kill all the knights of the Geto territory beforehand, so that there would be no unexpected interferences.

And that brings us to the current situation of him staring down on the boy from above as he casted a spell that could only be used by Noble Demons.

"Release the true Nature of My Soul."

His deep voice resounded in the ears of all those who were on the ground as he chanted out softly.

"True Form Release."

◇ ◇ ◇

"Release the true Nature of My Soul."

The moment Pride heard that line, her expression darkened. She turned to Evan who was receiving magic power from the spirits and asked impatiently.

"Evan!!! What's that demon's last name?!"

"Last Name? It's Ilmoth."

A light of recognition flashed through Pride's eyes as she clicked her tongue in annoyance before screaming in response.

"Why didn't you say that earlier?!"

"Huh? How does it mat-"

Evan was unable to complete his question, the reason was simple. Xakon had suddenly appeared beside him and grabbed his head, slamming him in the ground the moment after.

**BAMMM!!!

The appearance of Xakon was a far cry from what he was previously. He had grown taller, standing at above six foot, with his skin colour now being gray and his eyes turned purple.

Although they were hidden under his armour, his muscles had enlarged considerably and were now brimming with strength.

The wingspan of his bat like wings had increased by another meter, as one could see a glowing magic circle on the interior part of his wings.

On his forehead was a magic crest consisting of a star inscribed in a circle over lapping a triangle, and his red hair had grown to the point where he could tie it up in a ponytail.

Pride roused her demonic energy and tried to attack but it was futile. Xakon grabbed her wrist and broke it with brute strength, causing her sword to fall out of her hand.

With his other hand, he clenched his fist and sent a punch to her stomach.

**DUMM!!!

"GAH!!"

Pride spat out a mouthful of blood as the force behind the punch was enough to send her flying. Nevertheless, Xakon did not stop there and delivered three more punches to her torso before tossing her up in the air and sending a spin kick to her defenceless body.

**BAMMM!!!!!

Pride crashed on the ground at the same time that a bolt of lightning dropped from the skies.

"Just because I can't see or sense you, doesn't mean you aren't there."

With those words, Xakon jumped out of the way to avoid the lightning bolt. Upon landing on the ground, he took a deep breath and released it alongside a burst of demonic energy imbued with flames.

[AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!]

While he did not hear the young great spirit's scream, he received feed back and was sure his attack had hit.

**WHOOSHHH!!!

A flaming arrow flew in towards his head but he only tilted his head a bit to the side to doge. His eyes then flashed with a cerulean blue light as he slammed both hands on the ground.

"Ice Magic: Ice Fang."

Magic power poured into the ground as the earth rumbled in response. Dozens of icicles suddenly erupted from the ground and floated up into the air.

Xakon snapped his fingers and these icicles were launched as projectiles in the direction of the adventurer party of three that couldn't find the time to run.

**BOOOMM!!
