Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Seeing how powerful the current incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul was, Richard felt relieved. It seems that the upcoming battles weren't so hopeless after all. As long as Ren fights with all of his power defeating the other party isn't as absurd a thought as before.

"I can already guess what you're thinking, and I hate to break it to you but the truth is, the battle against the ORIGIN will be despair inducing even for someone like me. It's normal if you think about it, what I want to fight is the creator of all things in our multiverse. Since you want to be a part of this fight doing your own thing, I want to emphasize once again that this is a battle that must be fought, but it is a losing battle. I will remind you one last time, defeat means extinction and victory means wishing for a miracle. So do what you must with the resolve of total demise."

Richard's mood which was getting better once again sunk, but after a while, he just sighed and smiled at Ren. As Richard was about to say thanks, Ren raised his hand. A vicious smile appeared on Ren's face.

"Hehe, it would seem that the after-meal exercise isn't over yet. Richard this time you need to head northwest from here, the next battle is for me alone to have."

When Richard heard what Ren said he used his divine sense to see if there were any people in the surrounding area, but no matter how hard he tried he could not sense anyone, but still he did not doubt Ren's words. Richard took out his twin blades and was ready to fight side by side with Ren.

"Ancestor please allow me to fight alongside you."

"You really are an idiot. Did you not understand a word I said? I told you to flee northwest and leave me be, these guys are mine to fight... Besides didn't you say that you have things to do, this is not the place for you to fall."

'I see... The approaching enemies are too strong for me, the Ancestor is doing this to save my life. It seems I really am too weak.'

Richard gnashed his teeth in anger, what pride of heaven, what heir of the Tranor Clan, what genius of the era? Right now he was nothing more than a hindrance, a weakling. Richard bowed his head in frustration and shouted.

"Thank you, Ancestor! I promise I will do my best, this will be the last time I will ever flee from battle!"

After he was done shouting Richard fled toward the northwest he no longer looked back as he dashed at full speed. Ren also did not look back as he spoke in a murmur.

"Hmph, why are all the descendants of past incarnations such showy fools? I wonder where they inherited that from."

Ren chuckled as his shadow expanded covering a kilometer of the surrounding area. Ren took out the death scythe since this was a battle he needed to take seriously. The aura of death enveloped Ren turning it into a cloak that covered his entire body. Ren was getting even more excited as he could sense that the approaching enemies were powerful.

Ren waited for the enemy to arrive, and after a while in the distance, he could see a wave of people whose auras were stronger than the two Grand Elders he fought. They were coming at a breakneck pace, Ren felt ecstatic since these guys were beings that could actually kill him.

The very moment the first Demi-God stepped on Ren's expanded shadow the shadow grew tentacles and tried to entangle the Demi-God but it failed as the aura of the Demi-God tore the shadow tentacle apart. The charging Demi-Gods were only delayed a few seconds by that move, but Ren already expected that.

As the Demi-Gods got nearer to Ren they all stepped on his shadow, Ren smiled viciously as he spoke.

"If you people are able to survive my next move that means you are truly worth fighting!"

Ren shouted at the incoming enemies and from within his expanded shadow various weapons burst upward, these were all the weapons he had hidden within his shadow. Each weapon darted out with unimaginable speed, and some of the Demi-Gods that were too slow to react were sliced into pieces.

The other Demi-Gods were able to block or evade the surprise attack. After all the weapons flew out the entire area was destroyed, and what remained was a field full of Ren's weapons. It was quite the sight to behold dead bodies on the ground with numerous weapons everywhere, from demonic weapons to legendary weapons, and even divine weapons. These are Ren's weapons that he has collected over the years.

The Demi-Gods that survived the onslaught of weapons continued to charge at Ren with crazy momentum. Seeing this scene Ren licked his lip as he got into a fighting stance, Ren swiped his scythe horizontally. The charging Demi-Gods did not even think of blocking the attack and simply evaded it by jumping or rolling, some of them who were late to move have been cut down.

Despite more and more of them falling the Demi-Gods continued their crazed charge until they were finally close enough that Ren could see the madness in their eyes. One Demi-God punched the ground causing a miniature earthquake, Ren was unbalanced for a second, seeing this the other Demi-Gods charged at a faster speed. The booming sound of breaking the sound barrier erupted from all sides.

Each attack the Demi-Gods made surpassed the speed of sound making numerous booming sounds echo throughout the area. One Demi-God enveloped himself in lighting and summoned lighting to attack, another enveloped himself in fire and the heat of the sun radiated from his body attacking Ren from high above. The others were also using their unique abilities as they fought close range after the two long-range attacks failed to hit.

Ren was having quite a hard time dodging their attacks, and even if he does successfully evade the wind pressure from the attacks still does a bit of damage to him.

Ren controlled the cross-shaped needles of the death scythe to attack the surrounding Demi-Gods. It was pretty difficult to hit one since despite their obvious madness they were still coordinating in such a seamless manner. Some of the Demi-Gods were supporting the others by using spells from outside Ren's range of attack, and the others were sticking to Ren fighting him in close-quarters combat. The way that Demi-Gods keep on attacking gave Ren no room to counter, once he escapes the close combatants he would be bombarded by long-range attacks, but still Ren laughed out loud in joy.

Ren released his Death form and placed the death scythe back into his shadow, he then changed his fighting style. Ren used mana strings and stuck them to the various weapons on the ground and manipulated those weapons into attacking the Demi-Gods. Seeing the change in tactics, usually, the other party would shift from offense to defense, but the Demi-Gods were in a semi-mad state and started attacking even harder than before. Ren who was now able to fight back laughed out loud.

"HAHAHA!!! I apologize for thinking this is just an after-meal exercise. No, this is an actual battle, and all of you are worthy!"

The moment Ren said those words, it was as if all the restrictions in his body were removed and a burst of Qi flooded the entire area.
