Reincarnated Hero System

"Stay a few metres behind me and watch the situation until I take action.

Your job here is to either restrain or kill the second person who I don't attack.

If you see a red aura on my sword, kill them as fast as possible, otherwise, capture them alive.

Ignore everything else that happens until then."

Evan only had time to tell him that as the two of them reached the town walls almost instantly, with Evan making a quick internal apology to the town lord while dipping his hand into his inventory.

'Found it.'

He pulled out a partially torn black hooded and bloodstained robe from his inventory and donned it, right before throwing a fireball towards the town walls and blowing them up.

**BOOMM!!

The dust of the explosion covered up his next action of smearing his face with a bit of blood from his inventory.

'Now then Kayla, action!'

◇ ◇ ◇

Like Evan had guessed, the owners of the two auras who were standing right outside the town walls were indeed a senior member of the demonic hand named Methik and his contracted demon.

They were wondering why no one had come over to check out why the flesh golem had risen again beside the town guards and weaker adventurers who were closer to the walls.

Methik who had knocked these weaklings unconscious, was trying to think about why there would be sudden explosions within the town's walls at this time.

'Could it be they are still fighting those undead? But Isn't the Duke there? How come he hasn't taken action yet?'

Right after he thought that, he felt an enormous pressure descend onto the area, before sensing three approaching presences speeding towards the walls.

'Someone's coming!'

He instantly got on his guard and got ready to activate his skill and proceed with his plan, only for the walls to suddenly explode.

Methik's eyes narrowed as he and his contracted demon simultaneously jumped back to gain distance from the smoke of the explosion while keeping their gazes on it all the while.

Nevertheless, the figure who 'fell' out of the explosion was not one he had expected in his wildest dreams.

"GAARGH!!!"

Although they both worked for the same organization, he and this person, definitely weren't on the best of terms.

"Ulmoch?!"

He couldn't help but call out after seeing the injured appearance of his fellow senior demonic hand member, who coughed out a mouthful of blood while staggering to his feet.

"Geh!

The necrophiliac's goon?!"

The man's brow twitched as he heard Ulmoch not forget to call his direct superior a necrophiliac even when he looked to be on the verge of death.

However, he held back his anger and roused his magic power as he could tell that Ulmoch definitely did not come flying through that wall of his own will.

The current Ulmoch looked like he had seen better days, with his usual hooded robe being tattered and torn, while the man himself smelt like dried blood and had fresh blood dripping from his forehead and into his eyes, preventing him from properly opening them up.

'He looks like he's been blinded in one eye already…'

**BOOM!!

The sound of another explosion broke Methik out of his thoughts as a wolf jumped out of the smoke while firing an orb of lightning from its mouth towards an incoming fireball.

The sheer amount of dust and smoke on the wolf had dyed its golden fur grey, however, its presence made the Methik's contracted demon's eyes narrow in suspicion.

"Ulmoch! How are you even he-"

His question was cut short as his contracted demon instantly sent him a warning message.

[Something's wrong! I can't sense Thoruul's energy on him!

That wolf isn't a tamed monster either!

Get away from him or activate your skill!!!]

The senior member of the demonic hand had his eyes widen in shock upon hearing that warning message, unfortunately, he could neither take any of the actions his contracted demon had told him to.

There were two reasons for this.

One; his legs had been restrained to the ground by something he could not see.

And as for the second reason.

"GUK!"

A black liquid spurted from his mouth and splashed all over, as he gazed at the person locking eyes with him with a look of shock.

"y-you..n..o-ot..Ulmoch…"

"Took you long enough to figure that out, Corpse Doll Methik."

'Ulmoch' replied to the shocked 'Methik' while twisting the sword covered in a red ominous aura that was currently piercing through 'Methik's' body.

"Met-!"

His contracted demon tried to move but a frightening presence suddenly appeared behind him, with the demon's head flying into the air in the next moment.

'Ulmoch' then held out an arm towards the Demon's body and launched a beam of concentrated energy, no different from the red aura that enveloped the sword piercing 'Methik's' heart.

The beam bore a hole right through where the heart of the demon was, with the demon's corpse falling to the ground right after.

At this time, 'Methik' had gotten a good look at the eyes of the person stabbing him, with the crests within their two pupils being all too familiar to him.

'A Hero crest?!

I have to report this to Lord Velak!'

Unfortunately for him, the 'Hero' in question wasn't going to let him report anything to anyone.

"Too bad this isn't your real body. It would have been nice to get rid of you permanently.

Even so, I won't be letting this 'you' go back.'

The next thing that rang out was Methik's pained scream as the red aura on the sword piercing his chest intensified.

Wirth the last dredges of his consciousness, he tried to activate his skill, even managing to partially succeed.

However, his assailant somehow noticed this and coated their palm in aura to form a blade which they used to cut off his right arm.

Before the arm dropped to the ground, a streak of gold flashed and grabbed the arm, flinging it up into the air almost immediately.

**KAABOOM!!!

The light of the large explosion and the shockwaves it spread out omnidirectionally were the last things that 'Methik' saw and felt before the sword in his chest finally reaped his 'life'.
