Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 252 You are not my match

Chapter 252 You are not my match

While Kretos's fame was spreading in the kingdom of Serbek, at the borders of the kingdom the war was getting more intense. But for some reason, both sides haven't used their strongest units. The ancient mage families from the Serbek Kingdom, and the old warrior families of the Reschbeauch kingdom haven't shown themselves.

The normal soldiers thought that they were fighting valiantly for their respective kingdoms but in truth, they were just disposable pawns in a game. Yet even those that think they were the players were actually also simple pawns to the real players of the game.

...

In one of the frontline battles, Lara was sent out to destroy a supply unit. As she was looking for the supply unit, Lara felt someone was behind her so Lara quickly ducked down and a throwing knife passed by.

"Another person that's able to dodge my surprise attack." When Lara turned around to see who threw the throwing knife, she spotted a maid who wore a shocked expression.

"Well lookie here, now this is a surprise. I thought somebody else was able to dodge my surprise attack turns out it was the same person. Now tell me... How are you still alive after I killed you?" The moment those words left the maid's mouth an intense bloodlust filled the area. Even the maid was shocked by the feeling.

The girl who wore a stoic expression suddenly showed a very demon-like expression that even a true demon such as her was slightly frightened.

'Huh? Am I actually scared of a dead girl?'

"So it was you! It was you who killed my big sis!"

"Oh, so you weren't a resurrected spirit, just a twin. I hope you entertain me more than your sister. She was-" When the maid was about to say more, she noticed an arrow flying towards her. She dodged the arrow that came flying towards her and was about to counter with another throwing knife when she suddenly saw that Lara was already in front of her ready to punch her.

The maid was barely able to dodge the punch and was able to counter with one of her machetes. But then as she was about to hit Lara, an icicle had pierced her back.

'When did she have the time to cast that!' The icicle didn't pierce deep enough to cause any major damage, but it gave Lara enough time to attack the maid kneeing her in the abdomen. The maid was blown away, but Lara didn't let up as she grabbed hold of the maid's hand and pulled her back and punched her in the face.

Lara then started kicking and punching the maid without a pause. No matter what the maid did she couldn't get out of Lara's stream of attacks. The way each attack flowed perfectly made it hard to find an opening to escape.

It was at that moment when Lara felt like she would be able to avenge her sister something happened. Her fist started bleeding and she felt like the body of the maid grew harder than before. She then saw the maid's body change shape. Her maid uniform started ripping and what was seen underneath was shining silver body. The maid also grew a pair of bird wings, and her hands became scythe-like objects.

"How dare you human!" The demonized maid moved after flapping her wings. The moment she moved Lara was unable to follow with her eyes. It was a good thing that her mana sensing has improved and she was barely able to dodge by sensing the flow of mana.

One of the gauntlets Lara was wearing was sliced in half, and even a bit of her wrist was cut. It was then another attack came and another and another. The demonized maid flew in all directions attacking Lara from every possible angle. She was trying her best to finish Lara in one strike, but Lara kept on barely evading. Now Lara was full of cuts as she was bleeding in every part of her body. Seeing this scene the demonized maid smiled.

"Heh, I was going to give you a swift death, but this is so much better. This is what you deserve for harming me, human. Not only that you even destroyed my favorite maid uniform." The demonized maid looked at the barely standing Lara. Seeing the expression on Lara's face was making the maid feel ticked off.

Lara like her sister wasn't showing the face of despair as she was about to die. In fact, Lara wasn't showing any expression at all, which was much worse than her sister Lisa.

"Both of you sisters, the looks on your faces just piss me off... If you meet your sister in the underworld tell her that I was the one who sent you." Lara did not respond as she was looking at the demonized maid with a blank stare.

'Did she faint? Well, it doesn't matter I'll just finish her off now.' The demonized maid flapped her wings and darted towards Lara. With her scythe-like hands, she was about to cut Lara's head off, but then the unmoving Lara caught her hand. She tried to escape but Lara's grip was unmoving.

The demonized maid who was trying to escape Lara's grip was stunned to see that the wounds she inflicted on Lara were slowly healing. They were being stitched together by concentrated mana. Lara then ripped off the demonized maid's arm. Losing the arm freed the demonized maid as she screamed while trying to stop her blood from gushing out.

"Little bird, you have messed with the wrong person." The voice was the same, but the feeling she was exuding made her seem like a different person. The demonized maid was confused as to what was happening to Lara and decided to escape for now. As she was about to fly away an invisible barrier was stopping her.

"Sorry, little bird, you need to die."

When the demonized maid heard what Lara said she gathered mana into her body and was about to use a suicide move. The demonized maid in a desperate attempt unleashed everything she had. Lara(?) was waiting for the final desperate move, but then to her surprise the maid didn't attack her instead attacked the barrier, making a small hole that she used to escape.

...

After watching the demonized maid escape, Lara(?) simply shrugged her shoulders as she proceeded to finish the mission and destroy the supply unit.

'Hmm, my current self seems to be in a coma of sorts. It's still too early for this weak body to receive all of my memories. I cannot fully merge my past self with my current self. I also cannot head back or Silika might notice who I truly am... Better send a message back to them and then try wandering around until my current self wakes up. I guess I'll have to take control of the body for now...'

Lara(?) then wrote a message and met with one of the knights of the Reschbeauch Kingdom and told him to pass the message to Ashley. After doing that Lara(?) decided to train her current body into something that could satisfy her.
