Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 118 - Lara's battle

Lara who was running around getting into position to attack felt a little bit excited. Now that she was alone she didn't need to worry about defense and can go all out. When she was attacking with the others a portion of her attention was directed into protecting the warriors fighting beside her. So now that she was given the chance to finally let loose she was truly utterly excited.

When she was inside the dungeon she couldn't go all out since they were underground and she was scared of causing too much damage and breaking the dungeon making them unable to leave. Also, the enemies at that time were really strong, making her feel unsure of how strong she really was. So now that she was in a bigger field above ground, with numerous enemies that were basically small fry, Lara couldn't help herself as she felt super excited.

Even though she continued to show a stoic expression, a smile escaped her lips as she started to jump up onto the tree branches. While jumping Lara started to chant, once she was near the middle of the enemy army's formation Lara jumped down smashing her fist onto the ground.

With a majority of her mana placed onto her fist, that one move was able to pulverize dozens of undead while creating a crater in the middle of their formation. As the undead mages were about to counterattack, Lara who chanted a delay spell moments ago, unleashed it.

A huge rotating column of air descended from the heavens tearing apart the undead mages. This was the spell [Tornado] a high-intermediate spell. Once she was done releasing the first spell, Lara proceeded to activate her second delay spell. The ground then started to burn with small flames, this was a low-intermediate spell, [Scorch earth]. Lara then combined her two spells creating a whirlwind of fire, which turned those undead bones into ashes.

The combined spell lasted for only ten seconds, but the results were devastating. Lara alone was able to destroy a few hundred of the undead. She made sure to incinerate their bones so that the elder lich wouldn't be able to use them again.

After finishing her initial attack, Lara did a quick check on how much mana she had left and decided not to use any big spells for a while. While Lara was thinking about retreating for a moment and attacking later, she saw that the undead released two monsters from their shackles.

These monsters were, inhumanly large and tall and had a disproportionately large head, with abundant hair, and unusually colored skin. Their bodies which were covered by bronze armor looked to be sturdy. This race of monster was called an ogre.

An Ogre was a B ranked monster, and the higher rank of this race was called ogre king which was classified as an A rank monster. Two B rank monsters would be pretty hard to face in her current situation as she was in the middle of enemy forces, but she didn't want to retreat. So, instead, Lara shouted at her enemies.

"Come then, face me! I'm Lara the number one woman of Ren 'the blade of death!'" The nickname blade of death wasn't Ren's adventuring nickname but was the nickname granted to him but the people of the underworld. Rumors about him were spreading to all the underworld organizations of the Reschbeauch Kingdom. Learning of what he has done in Grenton, the story of how he conquered Grenton's underworld has been grossly exaggerated which led to his nickname. Lara who gained the information about this nickname felt like it sounded really cool.

...

After she shouted her affiliation, Lara charged at the ogres, who were wearing bronze armor, and had very large maces as their weapons. One of the ogres saw that Lara was charging towards it, so as a response it lifted its mace and swung it down trying to hit the approaching Lara.

With quick and fluent movement Lara jumped to the side avoiding the mace, she then jumped upward aiming for the ogre's head, once she got close enough she kicked the ogre's head. The ogre was slow to react and was unable to block Lara's attack, which pierced its right eye. The ogre then screamed in agony as it flailed its mace around hitting the nearby undead. The other ogre seeing its companion running amok roared at it, forcing the first ogre to calm down.

Lara didn't miss this opportunity when the two ogres were distracted as it climbed behind the first ogre. Lara has no real knowledge of ogres and only knew of their name and appearance from the fairy tales she has heard. Still, Lara who was trained by Ren was able to notice a spot in the armor that was heavily protected, which was the back of the neck.

It was obvious to Lara that was most probably the ogre's weak point, so when she started climbing the back of the ogre, she headed straight for the back of the neck. Lara then gathered her mana within her fingertips, she then stretched her fingers outward making her right hand look like a spear, she then pierced through the armor of the ogre and was able to penetrate through it and dug her hand into the back of the ogre's neck.

Lara then jumped down, as the back of the neck of the ogre started to spray blood. The huge body of the ogre fell to the ground with a thud, crushing some of the undead. Enraged by seeing its companion dying the second ogre roared louder than before.

The second ogre charged at Lara swinging its mace left and right, downward, digging the ground. Lara seeing its enraged attack wanted to take some distance from it, but it was too late, the ogre was moving faster than she anticipated.

Lara gathered most of her remaining mana and [enchanced] her legs, and arms. She lifted her left arm to block the swing from the left side and was in a horse stance as she received the ogre's mace. The strength of the swing was able to push Lara, making her slide a few feet to the right. Once she was able to fully stop the attack, Lara punched the gigantic mace breaking it apart.

Now weaponless the ogre held its two hands together and smashed downward. Lara lifted her right arm catching the ogre's hands, she then clenched her hand making her fingers pierce into the ogre's skin. Now that she was able to hold onto the ogre, Lara lifted the monster that was seven times her size and pounded it to the ground.

The ogre same as a human coughed up blood, and could no longer stand. Lara then grabbed onto its head and separated it from its body.

The whole fight only took two minutes, in which time another batch of ogres was coming towards Lara. Knowing that she couldn't face them in her condition Lara quickly retreated. The undead surrounding her were unable to stop or even delay her.

Lara who was retreating into a safer location was feeling something weird. The feeling of being able to fight like that was making Lara feel something foreign to her. She wasn't sure what this feeling was, but this might be what Ren felt as he viciously smiled in battle. Knowing that it was possible that she and Ren felt the same way as they fought made Lara feel even more motivated.

Once she was sure that she was in a safe spot, Lara started to meditate trying to replenish as much mana as she could, so that she may attack once more.
