Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 294 An Angry Kayla



"Now then, the quests I took pertain to the monsters on the fiftieth to sixtieth floors, I can't get held up on the fortieth now, can I?"

As he thought about the floor where one could find trolls in this dungeon, he activated his elemental shield with the ice element to protect himself from the barrage of water bullets that were fired against him.

"How did he do it again? Was it like this...?"

He held up two fingers in front of his mouth as he spoke, simultaneously activating a skill; the same skill he had just copied from the guild master earlier in the day.

Dozens, nearly a hundred swords of bright red flames manifested in the air behind and above Evan, with the charging gorillas taking a step back upon seeing the array of blades.

"I wonder, since these are swords made of energy, would my class bonuses apply?

Let's find out."

He spoke with a grin as he launched the rain of swords towards the monsters in front of him, an action that signified the battle between a family of gorilla monsters and one lone hero.

Year 1052

"It's nearly 11 pm, huh?

Just how long have I been inside here?"

[Nearly 10 hours.]

Hearing Artemisia's reply, Evan flicked off the purple blood on his sword with a look of slight surprise on his face.

"That long?"

As Evan spoke, he dashed towards the large green-skinned troll in front of him, his feet sliding across the ground as he dodged the creature's titan punches, jumping up and running up its arm that was now stuck in the ground after failing to pulverize the boy's body.

However, the creature easily pulled its arm out and swung it to the side, flinging Evan off while its other hand glowed with the light of magic as it threw out a punch towards his airborne body.

[Yes! That Long!

Kayla was worried for master, you know?]

The voice of his contracted lightning spirit who was pouting while floating in the air beside him rang out, with a wry smile appearing on Evan's face as blinked out of the Troll's punch trajectory.

'Air punch, huh?'

Seeing the shockwave that was sent flying through the air from the troll's fist, Evan decided against getting the skill since he could easily achieve the same effect with his magic and aura, his mind going on to think about how to pacify the displeased girl who was floating in the air atop the roasted corpse of another troll.

It had been nearly three hours since the spirit had met up with Evan in the dungeon, killing everything in her way as she followed the connection between the two of them to find his location, only to start scolding him for going off without telling them and overworking himself.

Evan chuckled lightly as he infused his sword with aura and released a single blade cannon that went on to bore four holes in the troll's body, before slicing it in two from head to crotch.

[Level Up.]

The experience he got from the troll was just enough to slightly push him over to the next level, with him being awarded an extra skill slot for mimicking skills.

'Maybe I should have gotten that skill?'

[Masterrrrrrrrrrr....]

Evan flinched upon hearing Kayla's displeased voice, turning around to the girl and asking her while sheathing his sword.

"Kayla, you do realise it's impossible for me to get tired after just a few hours of killing monsters, right?"

[Says the person who nearly colla-]

"Oh! Yeah! Artemisia!

About that matter we spoke about earlier, relating to the bishop in Bonas."

Evan interrupted the goddess who was about to rat him out, while avoiding Kayla's suspicious gaze as he tossed the unforged into his inventory.

[Big sis, what were you about to say?]

The young spirit didn't let it go as easily as Evan had expected, asking the goddess directly while Evan internally begged Artemisia not to speak.

"She was talking about how I planned to collaborate with a few other adventurers after we encountered a family of enraged gorillas, nothing much."

Kayla narrowed her eyes at him in silence for a few minutes, before deciding to go along with his excuse.

[We're going back now.]

The spirit reverted to her larger form, before using her body transformation skill to increase her size even more.

She then proceeded to grab the surprised hero and begin dragging him out of the dungeon, throwing a giant lightning bolt at the unfortunate troll that came in through the door behind them and ending its life instantly.

Seeing the spirit casually end a level 230 monster's life as easily as one would swat a fly was enough to snap the young hero out of his daze.

"Wait, Kayla!

I still have to pick up the quest materials. Just one more troll!"

The spirit turned to glare at him, before dragging him towards the corpse of the troll she just killed and gesturing for him to take it.

"..."

Evan didn't know whether to laugh or to cry upon seeing Kayla's pouting expression as she folded her arms and glared at him while tapping her foot impatiently on the floor.

Tossing the whole corpse into his inventory, he checked his new level and decided to call it a day, having levelled up more in the past two days than he had in the past three months.

'Well, I did focus more on sightseeing and enjoying myself rather than levelling so it makes sense I only got around 25 levels then.

But just in two days, I ended up killing thousands of monsters, then I killed a demon that was 20+ levels higher than me, and then another level 235 monster with Pride and Eliza's assistance.

After that, I spent nearly 10 hours in a dungeon, killing everything in my way from floors 25 to 39.

Adding on my level boost, if I didn't pass level 200, then it'd be a problem.'

Seeing the number 220 sitting in his level tab and the 'B-' stats that decorated his stat board brought a smile to Evan's face.

'I wonder how much destruction I would cause if I were to go all out? Oh well, I have a lot of chances to test that out.'
