Reincarnated Hero System-Chapter 255 Vs Terence, Again! I

"You guys were having a bit of a happy reunion there, so I was kinda at a loss on how to draw your attention.

Ended up choosing this means though."

Evan spoke while scratching his head, while Greed's eyes were trailing across the ground, from Terence's feet to Evan's feet, or more precisely, their shadows.

'Can he see Kuro...?'

The young hero noticed this and raised his guard but Greed said nothing and turned to Terence, before speaking.

"Terence, can you get keep this kid busy for a bit? I have something to discuss with my sister, in private."

'Also, watch out for his shadow. There's something there, and there's another one on his shoulder too.

I just can't properly perceive what they are.'

Hearing the warning from Greed, Terence narrowed his eyes and subtly glanced at Evan's shadow, something that didn't escape the notice of the entity within it.

[Master, he knows.]

'Tsk...'

Evan clicked his tongue internally before suddenly letting his body fall backward, disappearing into his shadow instead of hitting the ground.

Seeing this, Terence's eyes widened and he instantly turned around and punched with his fist, just in time for Evan to spring out of the man's shadow.

However, the young hero disappeared before Terence's fist could connect, reappearing a few seconds later atop a nearby pile of rubble.

"Really dude?

You just found out that I could use shadows to attack and you were definitely on guard about it. Did you really think I'd still do the same thing again?

If you thought so, then I fail to see how you can 'keep me busy' like Greed said to."

The young hero spoke while shaking his head with a look of disappointment. He then activated his concealment skill at full power, shocking Terence and Greed as his figure and aura completely disappeared right before their very eyes.

He then reappeared at an even further distance, waving at Terence as he shouted.

"Hello!

I'm over here!"

Disappearing once more, he reappeared even further and screamed out.

"Dude! I'm over here!"

Are you not seeing me?!"

He then repeated the same set of actions, causing Greed to facepalm before saying to Terence.

"He's trying to lead you out of the city, just follow him."

Terence nodded in response and kicked off the ground, dashing towards Evan and causing the young hero to get serious and run towards the city gates.

Left alone, Greed turned towards Pride with a smile as he spoke.

"Now then, sister."

Although he wore a bright smile, it did not reach his eyes at all. Seeing this, Pride rolled her eyes and sighed internally as she thought.

'Ah Shit. I knew this was coming.'

Greed instantly closed the distance between them, leaving no gap as he was so close to her that their bodies were pressed against each other.

He then rose his hands, grabbing the sides of Pride's face and tilting her head upwards a bit and staring into her blood-red eyes.

Looking into his eyes, Pride could see a myriad of emotions swirling within them, shock, anger, curiosity, and a hint of disappointment.

"Tell me, my dear sister.

Would you mind telling me why I haven't been able to sense your 'power' since earlier?

I'm dying to know just what reason you have for me."

◇ ◇ ◇

While Pride was being interrogated by her brother, Evan and Terence, were wrecking things as always. Just that this time it was the nearby forest right outside Osto that was suffering from their actions.

"Have you ever fought a contractor who can't use their contracted demon's idiosyncrasy before?"

**BAMMM!!

The young hero dodged Terence's fist right after asking that question, with the air pressure from the punch going on to slam into the tree right behind him and erasing it, along with every other tree within a fifty-metre radius, from existence.

Wood splinters flew in every direction, with Terence flicking his fingers and using wind magic to send them all flying towards the grinning Evan's face.

"Als-pfftt!!!!"

Naturally, the young hero who was about to continue blabbing was fed a mouthful of wood. He momentarily paused in shock and Terence's fist came flying in his direction in that short pause.

However, right before he got his skull caved in, he suddenly dropped into his shadow and reappeared from the shadow of a nearby tree, allowing Terence's fist to once again cause environmental destruction.

[Master, be serious.]

Kuro's exasperated voice rang out as Evan was spitting out the pieces of wood. The young hero pulled out a can of water from his inventory and washed his mouth while running away from Terence's incoming rock spears.

"Finally. That was playing dirty bro."

"Shut up!" f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Terence finally had enough of Evan's bullshit and screamed out in anger, with a brown magic circle appearing above him and shooting out a flame-tipped earthen spear.

"Well, since Kuro said so, I guess I'd stop joking."

The moment Evan said that, his mystic eyes reappeared and a replica of Terence's magic circle formed in front of him, shooting out the same kind of flame-tipped earthen spear.

**BOOOMM!!

The two spears exploded on collision, releasing shockwaves that knocked Terence back a bit. Before he could even stabilize himself fully, a serious-faced Evan burst out from the smoke, with the unforged in his hand.

Floating around him were three other magic circles of differing elements. Darkness, Ice and Lightning respectively.

'Dark Blast

Icicle lance

Lightning Spear.'

Three elemental projectiles shot out towards Terence simultaneously, causing the contractor of Greed to activate a skill in response.

"Earth Tide."

The earth underneath his feet shattered into pieces of rocks that surged forward like a tidal wave. This wave of rocks collided with Evan's projectile magic, resulting in an explosion that sent chunks of rocks and ice flying.

However, the young hero moved through this unhindered, his whole body covered in two layers of white and golden light respectively.

"Earthen Sword."

His ears captured the sound of Terence's voice, making the young hero frown slightly as Terence activated his class skill.

Without hesitation, he spun around and swung his sword wildly, activating multiple aura slashes while concealing some of them.

This was just in time to block the flurry of red-coloured aura slashes that flew towards him.

Evan, however, did not wait to see the outcome of the two sets of slashes meeting, kicking off the ground and jumping into the air.'

'Damn Flight artifact.'
