Demon Lord's Reincarnation - Chapter 668: This can't be the end
Erste was caught by surprise as the so-called New God had moved in a way that he could not capture with his eyes. The strike was aimed at his heart if it would hit Erste was sure that he would have died without knowing how, but before the New God Re’ Khe Hata’s hand reached him his body moved unconsciously and he had evaded the strike.
“Hoh, I guess this hunt is more interesting than I thought.”
After he was done speaking Re’ Khe Hata once again appeared behind Erste ready to strike, this time Erste no longer had any messy thoughts and instead followed his instincts without hesitation. Erste kept on dodging each attack Re’ Khe Hata made, and the expression on Re’ Khe Hata’s face turned into confusion.
…
‘What is this? This human is weird, very weird. It’s not like I haven’t seen human warriors that could dodge my attacks every now and then, but even the best of them could only barely evade, but this human can evade it so easily. Not to mention there’s this familiar feeling I sense within him…’
While Re’ Khe Hata was deep in thought he stopped moving but despite him doing that Erste did not dare make a sudden move. It was a good thing that Re’ Khe Hata stopped since all he needed to do was delay him until Nikki and the others are done with contacting whoever it was on the other end of the radio.
Re’ Khe Hata looked at Erste once again no matter how he looked at the other party all he could see was a normal human.
…
Erste looked at Re’ Khe Hata who continued to simply stare at him without moving. Even though he knew that waiting like this was to his advantage, somewhere deep inside Erste he wanted to attack he wanted to have a hearty battle.
It was taking a lot of effort for Erste not to make a move and attack he was now sweating. On the other hand, Re’ Khe Hata who saw the sweating Erste couldn’t help but chuckle as he thought that the other party was sweating because of his fear of him.
The two locked eyes for a few seconds and then Re’ Khe Hata suddenly tossed a fireball at Erste who rolled on the ground evading it.
“Heh, so you could even dodge that. You really are an interesting human, how about we make a deal? If you promise to be my servant and do whatever I want I might consider sparing you classmates and bringing them back to your reality. So what do you say?”
“… I refuse.”
“How selfish of you. Since you refuse then there’s no point in continuing this game of ours. It’s time to burn your body and recycle your soul.” A dozen balls of flame appeared around Re’ Khe Hata and with a wave of his hands, they fell onto Erste like rain.
Erste tried to avoid the incoming rain of fire but it was futile, upon hitting him he could feel his body burning as he flew backward. Upon hitting a wall he stopped, his consciousness was becoming blurry as he looked at the smiling New God, instead of fear all he felt at this moment was anger.
‘Is this it, is this how my story ends?! I haven’t done anything, I haven’t brought those guys back home, I haven’t fought to my fullest, I haven’t found Elena, and I haven’t fulfilled any of my promises! This can’t be how it ends, this can’t be!’
…
Re’ Khe Hata looked at the burning Erste and shrugged his shoulders. For some reason, despite killing the human in front of him, Re’ Khe Hata felt a little disappointed.
‘I don’t what I expected from a human… I wonder… Let’s see what he was trying to protect.’
Re’ Khe Hata was about to enter the radio station when he suddenly stopped. Re’ Khe Hata felt an immense, powerful, suffocating aura from behind him. His entire body was actually shivering and if he could sweat he would’ve already sweated buckets. Re’ Khe Hata found it hard to breathe as an intense feeling assaulted him. This reminded him of what he felt when he considered challenging an Ancient God.
‘It can’t be did an Ancient God suddenly appear here?!’
Re’ Khe Hata turned around but he saw no one, still, that pressure was not going away. As Re’ Khe Hata was growing even more confused he saw Erste’s body had stopped burning.
“How is this possible?”
Re’ Khe Hata looked at Erste in horror, the powerful aura he was feeling was coming from Erste, he could feel mana flowing out of the human boy. Despite looking like he was barely able to stand in the eyes of Re’ Khe Hata, Erste became something horrifying. In front of Erste, a sword of some kind appeared in his hands. Seeing the sword in Erste’s hand Re’ Khe Hata’s entire being was telling him that the sword was extremely dangerous, it was something that could actually kill him even if he removed the restrictions on his body.
Re’ Khe Hata could now hear the sound of his heart beating faster and faster as Erste was slowly walking toward him. At this moment Re’ Khe Hata wanted to run but his body was not responding. The pressure coming from the human being he so despised was so intense that he was drowning in it.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Re’ Khe Hata knew he needed to remove the handicaps placed on him for this game, and the moment he did so not only will he be ridiculed by the other New Gods, but he would also be punished. Still, even knowing all that Re’ Khe Hata decided to remove them as his instincts were telling him he needed to get rid of the human standing in front of him.
A burst of energy burst out of Re’ Khe Hata as the restrictions on his body were removed. Upon gaining his full power back Re’ Khe Hata quickly summoned blue flames and used them to attack Erste. The blue flame that erupted from his hands engulfed half the city into a sea flame.
As Re’ Khe Hata felt that he was victorious he saw a sudden flash and his head fell to the ground.
Erste who had successfully sliced off the head of the New God Re’ Khe Hata fainted, and the sword he was holding disappeared from his hands.
