Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 372 - One Sided Attack

The giant blade made out of mana and Spirit Aura fell from above with a thunderous roar it broke through the black dome slicing it in two. Ren who had used the technique didn't know how strong the black dome was since it didn't have mana, so he couldn't adjust the strength of his attack.

It was a good thing that the thin giant blade had hit an empty space of the arena. The blade had actually penetrated not only the black dome but even the ground was visibly scarred. Those that saw the might of that one attack shivered in the thought of what would happen if they were in the way. Everyone then looked above and saw a figure falling from the sky.

The falling figure dropped in the middle of Tsukiko and Nyarlom. Even after falling from such a height, there was no mark on the ground. It was as if a feather had dropped down without making a noise.

The one who appeared was an average looking man, but the aura he was emitting was overbearing. This new arrival was none other than Ren who was now looking at Tsukiko. At first, Tsukiko was surprised by the person standing in front of her. She had thought that she would meet Kretos, or someone closely resembling him. This was the first time she had seen this person, but for some reason, it felt like they have known each other for a long time.

"It's been a long time foolish little fox." Ren smiled gently at the kneeling Tsukiko. When Tsukiko saw the expression on Ren's face and heard the words he just said many things clicked in her mind.

"…Kretos?…" Even though she already knew the answer she couldn't help but ask.

"Kretos had died a long time ago, I'm now Ren."

"I see… It's nice to meet you, Ren. I have waited for a long time, you stupid slowpoke." Tsukiko responded with a happy smile on her face. She really wanted to jump onto Ren's arms but held herself back due to the situation.

"Sorry to interrupt this touching reunion but-" Nyarlom interjected into Ren and Tsukiko's conversation but before he could finish what he wanted to say a sudden flash happened and his body was bisected right in the middle.

Nyarlom couldn't believe what had happened, he couldn't even see what kind of attack hit him. As he was trying to merge his body back together, Tsukiko was amazed by what Ren did.

In the past as Demon Lord Kretos, he would usually overwhelm his opponent with a wild style of fighting, but it would seem now that he was the human Ren his technique had been refined to a terrifying degree.

"Still as powerful as ever." Ren approached Tsukiko and looked at her missing arm.

"Was he the one who did that to you?"

"Yeah, but don't worry about it once I return to the tree of life, I can regrow it."

"I see, that's good to hear."

"Hey you two like I said it's pretty rude to have this kind of conversation right in front of me. Also talking like that right after slicing me in half is pretty bad manners." Nyarlom who had reattached himself once again interjected.

"We'll talk more after I deal with this."

"Don't let your guard down. He might not look like it since he doesn't emit mana but he is quite powerful. He isn't even at full power yet." Tsukiko looked at Ren's confident eyes and shook her head. "What am I saying it's you we're talking about, you should be quite happy to face such an opponent."

…

For the first time since appearing Ren took notice of Nyarlom. When Nyarlom felt Ren's icy gaze on him he felt a weird tingling sensation within him. Nyarlom took a step back when Ren approached. The moment he did that Nyarlom was amazed and then he started to laugh.

"Hmhmhm HAHAHAHAHA! Amazing how wonderful for such a powerful human to appear before me, this is amazing!"

"Oh, you're able to withstand my bloodlust. Also, I can't feel a single bit of mana within you. Even undead have mana… Well, it really doesn't matter what you are. Seeing as you harmed my friends and my women and even made me look like a hero by arriving at the last minute, in my eyes you're pretty much dead already."

"Kekekek HAHAHAHA! How very arrogant of you. This is going to be fun. For someone like you, powerful, full of confidence, and full of pride, it will be a joy to bring you to despair. The malice you would emit once your pride is broken and you lose all hope, that malice should be the most exquisite of all!"

"Fine then, let's see what you've got. Even though I want to kill you now, but you've got me interested. Show me if you have the power to bring me into the depths of despair. Show me that your darkness, your malice could break apart my strength, my pride, my everything!"

"You really are an arrogant human, the most arrogant I have ever seen. Since you want to see my power so much, allow me to show you." Nyarlom's black aura was out in full force. The sky started to darken as Nyarlom's body emitted a frightening aura that made everyone present recoil in terror, all but Ren who simply looked at Nyarlom amused by the power he was using.

The power Nyarlom was releasing was not mana, Spirit Aura, Sword aura, it wasn't even origin energy, it was something new, something unknown to Ren.

"That's rather interesting, show it to me!"

Nyarlom had already recovered around fifty percent of his original strength. He didn't know how strong Ren was, but based on the other humans he had seen of this era even those that have the title of hero, Ren shouldn't be that much stronger than the heroes.

'It is you who should show me, show me the reason why I am experiencing this tiny bit of fear within me… Let's see if you're able to handle this human.'

Nyarlom condensed the malice he was emitting into a spear. He raised the spear and was about to throw it, but then he saw Ren's confident expression. Ren was smiling a very vicious smile, that smile that expression of his it was as if he was about to devour Nyarlom.

Seeing that made Nyarlom a tiny bit irritated, he then tossed the spear aiming at Ren's abdomen. He was expecting Ren to evade or catch the spear of malice or even block it with a spell but he did none of those, instead, Ren simply stood perfectly still.

Nyarlom was confused as to why Ren wasn't doing anything did he want to get hit? No matter how strong the physical body was, no matter how strong a barrier was created, in front of a primordial demon's power of malice, those things could easily be penetrated through.

The spear struck Ren in his abdomen but to everyone's surprise, the spear did not pierce through. Everyone saw that it hit the abdomen and was trying to pierce through but it could not. Ren had coated himself with Spirit Aura and mana, the combination of the two created a powerful thin barrier that covered his body.

After a long while, the spear of malice finally broke through the barrier and it hit Ren. Yet after making a tiny dot of an injury in Ren's abdomen the spear of malice lost power and dispersed. No one could believe what they just saw especially Nyarlom who knew how powerful that strike was. That was something nearing fifty percent of his full power. As a primordial demon that was almost as powerful as a young dragon's breath.

"Oh, pretty impressive to be able to make me bleed a little. So now it should be my turn." When Nyarlom heard what Ren said he quickly put up a barrier and distanced himself from Ren. He concentrated all of his senses on Ren's movement, this time surely he would see what Ren would do.

Ren lifted his right hand intertwined his middle finger and index finger. In his middle finger was Spirit Aura, in his index finger was mana, he fused the two together to create a silver sword. No one other than him could see this silver sword so everyone was confused as to what he was doing.

Nyarlom who was concentrating all of his attention on Ren's hand saw it blur for a second. He was already far away from Ren and he even put up a barrier yet the same thing had happened, no it was worse this time. Nyarlom's whole body was sliced into hundreds of pieces. In but a blink of an eye Ren was able to execute multiple sword slashes and from a distance without no one seeing even the first swing.

Nyarlom quickly reattached all of his pieces but the moment they were about to fuse Ren's hand once again blurred and Nyarlom's body was once again cut into multiple pieces. This cycle repeated itself a few more times before Ren stopped attacking.

This time Nyarlom had no words to say as he looked at Ren with an unknown expression on his face. On the other hand, everyone that watched that fight, if you could even call it that, were in a state of stunned silence… The people didn't know who was scarier the person that can slice you without moving or the one who keeps on reviving despite being sliced apart.
