Reincarnated Hero System

451 Seventh Finger, First Hero III



Before Abigail could even compute what the spell was, a long tentacle-like appendage of darkness-infused demonic energy burst out of the ground and latched onto her arms, dragging her towards the ground faster than she could react.

**BOOM!

Abigail's body slammed onto the ground with enough force to create a massive crater of at least half a kilometre in diameter.

More tentacles of darkness burst out of the ground and latched onto her other limbs, and torso, restraining her movements entirely.

"Come on. I know I'm a big-breasted Elf, but really? Tentacle pl-?!"

The Elven girl could not even complete her little joke as she instantly sensed danger, infusing more magic power into the thin layer of destruction essence wrapping around her body and enhancing its durability.

In that same instant, all the long smooth tentacles of darkness wrapping around her body instantly turned into razor-sharp jagged saw teeth and began rotating as if trying to shred her body into pieces.

At the same time, the ground underneath her cracked open and multiple jagged earthen spears shot forward, trying to pierce her body from under.

Dozens of forked blood-red lightning projectiles descended from above, along with Kethryllia who was shooting down with her spear thrust forward.

It was then that the smile on Abigail's face faded as she muttered to herself.

"Well, I guess I should behave myself now."

The ancient language inscriptions within her purple eyes that had been dull since the beginning of this battle lit up with a golden light right after she spoke, and then-

**KABOOMMM!!!!

A pillar of crimson energy surged up into the skies, creating a huge explosion that swept through the entire area.

A massive shockwave spread out first, accompanied by a loud 'boom' that could burst the eardrums of weak master-level existences.

Following this was a mighty wave of flames and the trees of the forest around that were already partially destroyed instantly turned to ashes.

Kethryllia coated her body with demonic energy and stabbed her spear into the ground to maintain her footing, but even that ground was melted from the heat of the flames that burned through everything.

The Demonic Hand executive took to the skies immediately, spinning her spear around and holding it in a stance while gazing at the figure of the Elven girl that was also floating in the air with her.

'She finally activated it, huh? Her Mystic eyes.'

Kethryllia thought to herself as she spat out a bit of blood, before flicking her fingers and activating multi-elemental magic.

'Lava Fusillade.

Multi-Lightning Bolt.'

Dozens of spears of molten earth shot out from the ground and into the sky, towards the Elf, the skies turned dark and bolts of blood-red lightning descended from above towards the Elf.

In the face of this, Abigail only looked up and calmly waved her hand, coalescing the essence of destruction and mixing in her magic power to create dozens of flaming spears, each of them brimming with enormous amounts of energy.

"So, this is the power of the new generation 'First', huh?"

Right after Kethryllia spoke, Abigail snapped her fingers and the flaming spears all shot towards the incoming lightning bolts and molten earth projectiles.

Just when Kethryllia prepared herself to activate Arc Lightning once more, she noticed that to cancel out just one of Abigail's flaming spears, she needed three or four bolts of lightning.

"Tsk…"

She flared her aura, releasing a burst of demonic energy and magic power into the surrounding, which then condensed right in front of her spear as she activated her unique skill once more.

"Crimson Fulgur."

The gigantic glaive of blood-red lightning swept across the sky, colliding with Abigail's flaming spears and blasting them apart in a single swing.

**BOOM!! BOOM!!! BOOOOM!!!

Multiple explosions rang out in the sky as the glaive of lightning destroyed all the Elf's projectiles, followed by Kethryllia blitzing through the air towards Abigail.

With her opponent closing fast on her, Abigail stretched out her hand and her spear flew into it. Grasping it tightly, she infused it with the essence of destruction while raising it to collide with Kethryllia's incoming spear.

*CLANGG!!

What followed was a spear battle with both combatants stabbing, thrusting and slashing at each other at near sonic speeds.

The two flew through the air as they fought, their every strike releasing shockwaves that rent the ground and ravaged the earth underneath.

From afar, they only looked like two crimson streaks of light flashing through the sky, requiring grandmaster-level existences with good kinetic vision to be able to perceive their movements.

In the end, Kethryllia's spear techniques superseded Abigail's and the elven girl lost out, with the demonic hand Executive twisting her spear and knocking the Elf's weapon out of her hands.

She followed it up with a kick to the torso, sending Abigail flying through the air and crashing down onto the ground.

By the time the teenager could find her balance again, Kethryllia had already appeared right in front of her and thrust her spear out.

Her charge was so fast, as though she was the wind itself given physical form. Tendrils of lightning snaked around her body as she closed the gap between them in a moment, her spearhead approaching Abigail with fierce momentum.

Surprisingly, Abigail only tilted her neck to evade the spear at the last second, showing that her body's reaction speed was fast enough to react to the sonic speed spear thrust.

Kethryllia only twisted her lips into a slight frown as she followed the attack with a three-thrust step, increasing the speed and force behind each thrust per strike.

**BOOM!

An omnidirectional shockwave spread out as Kethryllia's spear tore through the sound barrier, moving so fast it seemed like the weapon had split into three.

However, again, Abigail evaded the three thrusts with minimum effort, doing so while advancing a step towards Kethryllia for each thrust evaded.

Abruptly, Kethryllia infused lightning into her arm and pulled back her grip on her spear, sending out a fourth thrust that reached Abigail's shoulder faster than the girl could react to.

Unfortunately, the essence of destruction that coated the Elf's body protected her from Kethryllia's strike that sacrificed power for speed, only knocking her back a bit and piercing through her energy coat, but not deep enough to reach the skin underneath.

Kethryllia wasn't even surprised by this and instantly pulled back her spear, flipping it around and using the shaft to slam into Abigail's torso, sending the Elf flying through the trees and into a nearby rock.

Just as Abigail tried to flip her body and land with her feet on the rock, Kethryllia had already blitzed in and was about to stab her right in the chest.

"Reequip."

With that command word, threw her hands up in the air, just in time to grab onto the handle of the gigantic Warhammer that appeared right in the air above her.

She infused it with her power of destruction, causing the dull grey runes on it to light up, before slamming it down towards Kethryllia.

**BOOOOMMM!!!!!

A massive explosion rang out as the Warhammer slammed down, blasting apart the nearby trees and giving the Dalburn forest another giant hole in the ground.

When the dust died down, the scene of Kethryllia holding up the head of the Warhammer with a single arm could be seen, along with an expression of slight shock on Abigail's face as she had never expected the Demonic Hand executive to risk soul damage to block her attack.

"I missed."

Kethryllia said to herself as she looked at the vanquisher spear that was embedded into the torso of the Elven hero.

Blood trickled down her arm as she held up the Warhammer, with the ground under her feet cracking as despite having a spear of demonic energy embedded in her torso, Abigail was still trying to force down the hammer on her.

The red-haired woman infused more demonic energy into her spear, rotating her grip as she tried to twist the weapon, but Abigail realised what she intended to do, instantly reversing hold on her hammer with speed and flipped it, slamming it into Kethryllia's side and knocking her off the ground.

She then dropped the hammer and used her hands to pull out the spear from her torso before the infused demonic energy could reach her body and toss it to the side.

The instant the spear was pulled out, the flesh around the wound in her torso wriggled slightly, before closing up in just a second, showcasing Abigail's astonishing regeneration speed.

As for Kethryllia, the woman tossed away the trees that collapsed on her and got to her feet, holding her side slightly and spitting out blood before muttering lightly.

"Might have broken a few ribs."

She recalled her spear into her hands and gripped it lightly, exhaling a deep sigh as she stared at the Elf who now had two black gauntlets with runic carvings on her arms.

'Well, I guess her relationship with the 'Smith King' is a lot closer than I had expected.'
