"Burn."
He dropped the severed head and gave that command word, prompting a bright rainbow-coloured flame to engulf both the head and the body of the fake hero on the floor.
A vibrant spectrum of colours swallowed the corpse, captivating all those who beheld it as it turned the corpse to ashes within seconds.
It was then that the reality set in on them.
The Fake Hero was a Level 370 existence!
And it was killed instantly, with its corpse being turned to ashes within seconds!
The corpse of an existence with an A-neutral durability stat, was turned to ashes in mere seconds.
In an instant, the gazes of all the Demonic hand members towards Evan changed.
Their assumption of his powers did a complete 180, as even if Evan swore to the gods that he wasn't a grandmaster right this instant, they still wouldn't believe him.
A dozen of them instantly dashed forward at breakneck speeds, unleashing powerful skills and single-target magic towards Evan in an attempt to end him instantly.
In response, Evan put the Unforged back into his inventory, holding up his now empty hand and coalescing crystal blue icy energy into a sword which he grasped tightly.
His energy circuit rapidly circulated energy and the crystal blue ice took on a reddish-gold hue, with the threat of this change permeating into the bodies of the Demonic Hand members.
Before the Grandmaster level ones could warn the Superior stage masters who shot forward while charging their most powerful attacks, Evan's arm blurred.
**BOOOMMM!!!
Another massive explosion rang out as one of the Superior Masters had his body sliced to pieces faster than he could compute, the energy he had charged up exploding with a blinding light that left a massive crater in the ground, one that was several hundred metres in width AND depth.
The shockwaves from the explosion knocked all the others back, sparing them death at the hands of Evan's ice sword.
"A little heads-up next time, Evan."
Eliza spoke as she used the barrier she had conjured at the last moment to push back the dust and smoke from the sudden explosion, revealing her unscathed appearance to their assailants.
The close-range explosion of a superior master was not enough to break through Eliza's multi-layered barrier!
"I'd try to work on that."
Evan's voice rang out as his appearance was revealed, surrounded by a crystal blue spherical barrier that was emitting a frosty haze.
A large crack ran through the barrier, but it still maintained its integrity, showing that the point-blank range explosion could not penetrate its defences fully.
'Elemental Shield + Harbinger of Ice is a nice combo.'
Such was the young hero's thought to himself as he twirled the sword in his hands, glancing around at the Demonic Hand Members in the crater who were either knocked back or injured from the explosion.
The grandmasters were all fine but the most of the Superior Masters had taken great damage. In fact, the only reason the crater they were in wasn't larger was that most of the explosion's force had been concentrated on the bodies of these master levels, leaving only a little to devastate the surroundings.
"Hey Kayla, remember when I said someone from Terrok was going to send a present soon enough?
Here they are.
Go wild."
Evan's sudden words left some of them confused. Sure, the base they had been summoned from was indeed in Terrok, but what did that have to do with the current situa-
[Laser Ring]
Kayla's bright voice summoned a runic circle on the ground underneath her feet, prompting five large 50cm cubes of golden lightning to appear, forming a ring around her.
The next moment, the rings began rotating and just when the Demonic Hand members scrambled to dodge after sensing the building-up energy, the ring radiated a golden blinding light, releasing five massive laser beams in all directions.
***BOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!
In an instant, the area around them was turned into a sea of flames and the screams of multiple demonic hand members rang out as the devastating explosion of energy decimated some of them, leaving only a scorching aftermath.
Evan who had blinked out of the way and Eliza who was within the laser ring itself were unharmed, but the opposite was the case of the demonic hand members.
The quintet that had shot forward in an attempt to attack Evan was obliterated by the lasers, their A-negative disabilities rendered completely meaningless in the face of Kayla's lasers that carried the essence of lightning.
Kayla's opening act was followed by the activation of her body transformation skill, with her taking on the form of a creature that made Evan smile wryly.
"Really? Silverwing?"
The current Kayla had transformed into a golden iteration of Silverwing, with a smaller wingspan of just a bit over fifty metres, but she still possessed the majesty and grandeur of the original.
Without bothering to reply to Evan's words, Kayla jumped up into the air and waved her wings, releasing waves of energy that swept across the entire area.
Golden bolts of lightning fell from the heavens, leaving behind trails of golden lightning that spread out for a dozen hundred metres, setting the trees nearby and setting them ablaze.
Milena and Kuro didn't sit still, as the Water spirit moved to test out her new skill, taking advice from the Automations she met earlier and igniting oxyhydrogen explosions in random directions.
**BOOM!! BOOOMM!!! BOOOOOMM!!!
A symphony of explosions rang out as the Demonic Hand members scampered to avoid the random AOE attacks, but some of them found themselves unable to move even a single finger as their very shadows seemed to come alive, rising up from the ground and restraining them entirely.
The grandmasters easily broke out of the shadow restraints and escaped with mild scratches, but most of the superior masters weren't so lucky.
[Infernal Whirlpool!!]
Using the power of her Aquafire skill and taking inspiration from Evan's own unique skill, Milena unleashed a swirling vortex of searing flames intermingled with water.
This whirlpool engulfed the demonic hand members in a maelstrom of scorching heat and drowning deluge, leaving them helpless amidst the conflicting forces of the two elements.
[Level Up]
[Level Up]
She dismissed the level-up notifications that appeared and held up her hands, about to summon a rain of water projectiles, but her eyes widened in the next moment as she rerouted her energy flow.
**SWOOSHH!! BOOM!!!
A flying demon appeared and swung her weapon, realising a slash of condensed demonic energy that sliced through Milena's airborne body, going on to collide with the ground and obliterate everything for the next few hundred metres.
However, the demon frowned when she noticed that the resistance from Milena's body was not the kind she was supposed to get when slashing a grandmaster.
It was far too weak.
And indeed, she was right to think that.
Right before her very eyes, the two severed halves of Milena's body heated up and burst in a steam explosion that sent her tumbling to the ground.
"Steam? This! It's the Magical Steam from the report! The Water Spirit is here somewhere!"
One of the grandmaster members shouted out to the others as they struggled to block the fierce sword slashes coming from Evan, taking care not to let the sword graze her body.
But that moment she spared to speak was enough for Evan to find an opening and drive his ice sword through the woman's shoulder, giving her a taste of the soul-rending pain from BoD.
"Mind filling me in on this 'Report' of yours?"
Evan asked as he pulled closer, wearing a smile on his handsome face that would have most certainly succeeded in charming her momentarily, if it wasn't for the fact that they were in a life-and-death battle.
"Get away brat!"
She released a burst of demonic energy in an attempt to knock Evan back and gain distance, but the young hero conjured an elemental shield at the last moment to block it, while freezing his feet to the ground.
Seeing that she could not succeed in gaining distance, she coated her palm in demonic energy and used it to grab his sword and try to pull it out while sending another demonic energy sword slash towards Evan's neck.
The boy's grey pupils traced the trajectory of the incoming blade, time difference activating as he analysed it and noted that this seemingly normal attack held enough power to cleave a city block in two.
Golden aura surrounded his left arm and he moved it at near sonic speed, catching the incoming sword in his palm.
**BAMM!!!
The earth around him quaked and the force of the attack pushed him a little bit, but since his feet were still frozen to the ground, he didn't lose his footing.
The ground behind him then cracked open and multiple chunks of jagged ice emerged from within, forcing the two Fake heroes who tried to attack him from behind to dodge.
