Reincarnated Hero System-Chapter 314 Eliza Vs Demonic Hand Mobs II
"Flower Cannon."
She deployed her skill once more, with the demonic hand members going on guard as they had suffered the effects of the cannon's concentrated magic power beam more than once and didn't want to deal with it again.
However, to their surprise, Eliza did not aim the cannon at them, instead aiming it at the ground and firing it.
**BOOOOMMM!!!!
Dust and smoke rose up in a large cloud with rocks and dirt shooting in every direction.
Some unfortunate demonic hand members had a fistful of rocks meet their eyes, while some literally ate dirt, however, one thing in common was that they all had their vision obscured.
This was something Eliza took note of as she focused the essence of life around her eyes to enable her to see their life signs clearer, having her flower cannon launch another two beams of concentrated magic power, one in the direction where she sensed multiple life signs clustered together and another towards the ground.
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine and ducked to avoid the sword that sliced through the air above where her head was, rolling on the ground to avoid the double overhead slash that came right after.
'Great. There just had to be people who wouldn't fall for the simple smokescreen.'
While remaking to herself internally, Eliza took a stance with her spear and shot forward, heading straight for the one with the dual swords.
However, to his surprise, Eliza suddenly threw her spear forward like a javelin, forcing him to make the split-second decision to not deflect the weapon with his own.
The two rings of green on Eliza's arms disappeared and reappeared on her legs, making it so that she had four rings of light on each leg.
Naturally, that also meant that her speed had been boosted to a totally different level as the dual sword wielder instantly lost sight of the girl's figure.
"Wha?!"
Before he could even understand how she had suddenly moved that fast, he sensed her presence right beside him, with his eyes widening as he tried to swing his blades.
However, Eliza's current movement speed was leagues ahead of his reaction speed, as even if he was at a higher level, he could not react fast enough to her actions.
By the time he had begun moving, Eliza's fist was already right beside his head, with the four rings of light disappearing from her feet and reappearing on her wrists at the last second before her fist collided with his head.
**BAM!!
The man's body was sent flying into the air, while Eliza leaned back to avoid the diagonal slash that came from above, grabbing onto the arm holding the sword with both arms and squeezing it tightly.
**CCRACK!!
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
The sword wielder who she just discovered was a woman, let out a gut-wringing scream as Eliza' shattered the bones in her arm, before leaning forward and flinging the swordswoman over her shoulder.
**BAM!
Right as the demonic hand swordswoman's body slammed onto the ground, Eliza punched her head with her strength-enhanced fist, turning her skull to a bloody paste instantly.
A new dozen-metre-wide crater formed on the ground underneath, with the blonde battle priestess' sapphire pupils darting around to look for her spear.
'There it is.'
She enhanced her speed once more and shot forwards towards the spear, dodging the attacks of the other demonic hand members who could now see her as the dust had cleared, and forcing orbs of concentrated magic power down the throats of a few.
Small explosions rang out behind her as she detonated the orbs simultaneously while reaching for her weapon, turning around and facing the demonic hand members who were looking at her with fear-filled gazes.
"Hmm? Did some run away?
Oh well, less work for me."
Eliza dismissed all the level-up notifications hovering in her field of vision, cracking her fingers as she locked gazes with one of the magicians in the distance and spoke.
"Thanks for not attacking me in the meantime.
As a reward, I'd kill you all quickly."
◇ ◇ ◇
While Eliza was massacring the demonic hand members above ground, the situation below ground wasn't much different.
In fact, it was worse as all the demonic hand members who came to help Faerora were all crushed, broken to pieces, riddled with holes and split, or rather, ripped apart.
Each and every one of the high demon Greed's attacks went for the kill, as he did not intend to let any of the lower-ranked members interrupt his battle with the senior member of the demonic hand.
**BOOOM!!!
The underground basement of the temple in this town was quite large and sturdy, as it was able to withstand multiple of Greed's attacks and not cave in.
**CLANNGG!!!!
A loud sound rang out as Mammonas collided with Faerora's unnamed spear, with shockwaves spreading out into the surroundings and causing untold destruction.
"Guh!" 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
The senior demonic hand member grunted in pain as the sensation transmitted up her arms after clashing with Greed's demonic energy-infused great sword made her momentarily lose all feeling in her hands.
Just like Pride's Vanitas, Greed's Mammonas had the attribute of increasing overall attack power when infused with demonic energy, so one can only praise Faerora for the feat of not having her arms broken.
She instantly pulled back and tossed the damaged, half-broken spear on the floor, pulling out another one which she infused with her brown aura and shot forward once more.
Greed on the other hand simply coated his weapon in demonic energy and swung it downwards, with Faerora moving to the side to avoid the attack as she boosted herself forward with wind magic.
She thrust her spear towards Greed's unguarded head, but at the last moment, a wall of earth rose up and blocked the spear tip followed by Greed swinging his arm to the side and slamming into her body faster than she could react, sending her flying through the air and crashing on the ground.
Faerora's body rag-dolled for a few metres before finally stopping, with her forcing herself to get back up right after.
"Don't you have any other good weapons on you besides that spear?
Or is the thing I sense on you not a weapon but a different kind of artifact? Either way, it is valuable so I want it."
