Reincarnated Hero System

404 Chalres vs Vazgan III



**BOOM!!!!

Vazgan jumped backwards, out of the cloud of dust generated from the lightning bolt that hit the ground and released his left hand from his sword, waving it in a circular arc as he muttered a small chant to himself before activating a spell.

A blackish-red magic circle manifested behind him, with spears of similar coloured flames rapidly firing out of it and towards the incoming Duke Cheverton.

However, his opponent only flicked his fingers and generated similar spears with water magic, launching them towards the incoming flame spears with high accuracy.

The tips of the flame and water spears collided with each other in mid-air, resulting in a large cloud of steam quickly forming in the area.

Vazgan jumped out of the cloud of steam that obscured his vision, narrowing his eyes as he noted that the steam had some perception-weakening properties.

'His water magic is to this level? Is it perhaps on Tier 3?'

Such were the thoughts of the Dullahan king as he landed on the ground and backstepped a bit before activating a skill.

"Cursed Sentries!"

Dozens of dark orange portals manifested behind him, with dozens of horror-stricken faces and chattering skulls emerging from within, releasing loud screeches as they shot through the air with trails of spectral flames behind them.

Their mouths opened up and the horror-stricken faces fired arrows of a viscous amoeba-like substance at high speed towards the Duke, while the skulls attempted to sear him with spectral flames.

'That's definitely not good.'

Duke Charles was aware of this skill, courtesy of a certain hero named Evan, as such he knew fully well that he stood a chance to have any of his five senses deteriorate if even a single ectoplasm arrow was to hit him, and that if any part of his body was seared by those strange coloured flames, then he would either get stunned, lose health over time, or have his speed slowed.

'Debuffs everywhere…though that's expected of an undead.'

The man had those thoughts as he created water barriers to block the flames while slicing through the ghost faces with his lightning-infused blade.

Black blood spurted around everywhere as he cut the ghost faces, causing his eyes to widen slightly in light surprise, but he immediately took action and used discharged bursts of lightning from his body, evaporating the black blood before it could touch him.

'Almost forgot about the rot attribute of the black blood.'

Duke Charles sighed lightly before sheathing his blade and using his two hands to cast an AOE water magic spell.

A flood of water surged forward and crashed into all the incoming skulls and ghost faces, sweeping them away and causing Vazgan who was charging towards him to take distance.

The Dullahan King had learned from experience, that whenever Duke Charles used a large-scale water spell, what followed, was a powerful lightning spell that could kill a level 250 in a single strike if it hit the right places.

Added to the flood of magic-infused water, Vazgan didn't want to know what would happen if it touched him.

The Dullahan King stomped his foot on the ground and activated earthen magic, generating a wall to block the flood of water and nullify the effects of the lightning.

This was precisely why Vazgan did not see what Duke Charles did next.

"Zero Sword."

**SHRING!!

Two words muttered under his breath, followed by the activation of his unique skill, had the Dullahan King feeling the threat of 'death' for a split second.

And in that split second, he trusted his instincts and jumped to the side, just in time for a thin blue slash of light to pass through where he was standing half a second ago.

Cleanly cut stone slabs rose up into the air, as Vazgan saw a thin line of light run through them before they divided into two pieces each.

'This!! His unique skill!'

Vazgan instantly got to his feet and jumped up into the air to avoid the flood of water on the ground, before kicking off the still airborne stone slabs and dashing towards Duke Charles at full speed.

The distance between them became zero within seconds, with Vazgan unleashing dozens of slashes towards Duke Charles, as if trying to shred the man to pieces.

However, the lightning-fast Duke blocked each of the slashes with a slash of his own, their auras cancelling out each other with small-scale explosions that generated sizable dust clouds.

Before said clouds could even clear up, Vazgan was already in the air, spreading out both arms as he called out the name of his skill.

"Vindiction's Descent!"

And thus, the scene from the night of the Falos County attack was re-enacted.

A large orange and black portal appeared in the sky, glowing brightly with a dangerous amount of energy building up inside it.

The whole battlefield could see this large portal, and those who were present on the night of the Falos County attack remembered it instantly, along with the fear they felt when it appeared in the sky that night.

Vazgan didn't let the skill charge up to its full power, launching the dark orange beam of aura towards Duke Charles who was on the ground as the latter only gripped his blade tightly and muttered.

"Zero Sword. Fourth Form."

**SHRING!!

Once again, a sound like two metal blades sliding against each other could be heard, followed by a long blue slash of aura that cut right through the beam of light.

**KAABOOOMMM!!!!

The beam of light exploded mid-air after being cut through by the slash, with the shockwaves of the explosion reaching the ground and shattering the earth below.

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me!"

Vazgan screamed as he burst out from within the explosion, shooting towards the ground and landing down on one knee, with his other foot and one hand touching the ground.

A large crater formed where he landed, but he paid this no mind as he punched the floor and activated another skill.

"Outburst!!"

**DUN DUNNN DUNNN!!!!

The ground trembled beneath him, with magic power rapidly spreading around and causing countless rock shards to rise up from the ground, floating in the air for a moment, before they started flying around randomly.

**D-D-D-D-D-D-DU!

Rocks of different shapes and sizes, with some of them carrying along the nearby trees, corpses of the dead resistance force members and undead, along with their weapons and armour began flying around in random directions like bombshells.

Thankfully, none of the resistance force members was within the next hundred-kilometre squares of the two of them, as such, it did not turn into a scene of soldiers, knights and adventurers being torn to shreds by the rock shards.

However, the sheer amount of distance covered by the skill, was enough to show how destructive it was, and this wasn't even the skill's full power as Vazgan still withheld some of his magic power and aura since he knew that this wasn't enough to take out the Duke.

And indeed, it wasn't.

"Lightning Magic: Lightning Dragon's Fist."

A three-ringed magic circle of sparkling blue lightning high up in the late morning sky, releasing dozens of giant high-speed fist-shaped lightning blasts that dropped down from the sky and crashed onto the randomly flying rock shards.

Upon collision, massive sparking explosions were generated, being too bright for one to look at directly.

Duke Charles flipped his sword and stabbed the blade into the ground, before clenching his fists and saying.

"Just because I'm a swordsman doesn't mean I can only fight with my sword."
