Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 711: Clone of Death

Erste woke up from his dream-like state and noticed that his companions had surrounded him creating a wall to protect him. Every member now had multiple wounds on their bodies and their mana had weakened greatly.

"You're finally awake sleeping beauty." Frieda who was breathing heavily smiled as he looked at Erste.

"Hmph, I don't know who you were talking with but it had better be f*cking important." Blod who had the most wounds complained.

"Sorry I just had a chat with an old friend, and she told me how to defeat this Ancient One."

They were all communicating using telepathy so that the Ancient One could not listen to their conversation.

"Alright, so you want to try and change the plan from distraction to killing? I don't know who you talked to but you better be sure that whatever information you got is accurate." Tenma warned Erste.

"Trust me, I will kill Death itself and fulfill my promise. So how long before the others take the heart of the Mother of all Dragons?"

"The heart is hidden in a pocket dimension hidden within this universe, Skatt is already prying it open but it might take a while. Also, I'm sure that Death might have noticed what they're doing already."

"Then we need to create a bigger ruckus to get most of Death's attention, as for how to kill him I'll do it myself so don't worry about that."

That vicious smile on Erste's face appeared as the power emanating from his body was released outwards causing the very space he was in to fluctuate.

"Well, this is interesting, unlike the others it seems that you are a real threat to me." Death appeared with a scythe at hand, and unlike the hazy form before this one looked a little more complete, also unlike the other forms of Death this one felt more powerful than the others.

"Come on Death come and play with me!"

...

Before Erste awoke from his sleep the other team was trying to crack open the pocket dimension where the heart of the mother of all dragons was hidden. Skatt was doing his best to crack it open but it was taking longer than he expected.

"What do we have here some naughty little thieves have sneaked in. How disappointing, I never expected the proud Dragons to sneak around like mice. I thought you would go in an upfront manner and take what you want with overwhelming might. It seems that over the years your prideful nature has changed greatly."

Skatt did not bother to answer as he was concentrating on breaking through the pocket dimension, on the other hand, the generals went into a defensive formation. Each of the generals knew what was facing them now was something they could never hope to defeat, but even so, they were ready to fight.

"How surprising the weak humans are going to defend a Dragon. Today is a day full of surprises."

The five generals had fought many battles most of them had already seen Old Gods, and in the past years, they were able to kill a few Old Gods as a team with Frieda. So they felt that they had grown incredibly strong and could take on any God, but after seeing the Ancient One who governs over death, they found out how foolish they were.

Just standing in front of the being called an Ancient One was causing them to see a few hallucinations, their five senses were not working properly. The group then used the power from the sea of chaos borrowed from the mother of all dragons and enveloped it around them.

The effects of the Ancient One's presence became bearable but there were still some effects on them, still, it was not enough to cause problems in battle.

The five then looked at each other without even speaking just by eye contact and a few subtle gestures they understood what they wanted to say to each other.

"The power from the sea of chaos? You humans have been approved by the mother of all dragons."

After he spoke Death created four clones of himself and was about to fight each general one on one but then the other clones disappeared only leaving one and the size grew smaller.

"I apologize it seems that one of your fellow humans needs most of my attention, so for now, I need to focus on him, but I will at least leave one of my clones with you." Once Death was done talking the aura emanating from him weakened greatly but it was still powerful enough to handle the five generals.

Death's clone had a scythe at hand, but it didn't have the same effect as the one held by the original. Now with a scythe at hand Death swung at Skatt, but the attack was intercepted by Jonathan who used a new technique that increased his muscle mass to the maximum making him grow into a giant.

Even though he was still smaller than the clone of Death he was able to successfully stop the attack and grabbed hold of the scythe.

The other generals used this chance to initiate an attack, but as soon as they got close they felt something eroding their very souls, it wasn't a problem for now, but they knew the longer they stayed close to Death the more their souls would be eroded and they were not sure what will happen if their souls are fully eroded.

Still, the generals did not stop and continued their assault on Death, but despite using their most powerful attacks while enveloping their weapons with power from the sea of chaos, they were not able to do any significant damage to Death.

Jonathan could no longer hold onto the scythe and was pushed away by Death, and now there was a huge wound on Jonathan's chest. If it was any other general they would have died from that wound, but Jonathan's prided muscles were able to diminish the damage he took.

Still, all that did was delay his death, Jonathan could already feel that he was nearing his end and he could not stop the blood from flowing out of his body, so he used every last bit of strength he could gather and charged at Death while roaring.

Death once again slashed at Jonathan, but the other party did not block or evade instead he took the hit and continued charging at Death. Jonathan tackled Death and stuck to Death without letting go as he gathered all the power he had and focused it on his core.

"It was an honor to have fought with all of you, may our glorious rebellion succeed!" With one last shout, Jonathan exploded with a power great enough to destroy an entire galaxy but concentrated into one single area.

The generals quickly used every means they had to defend themselves and Skatt from the explosion. It was a good thing that Jonathan pushed Death farther away if they were closer to them it would have been difficult to fully defend themselves.

Seeing that one of them just died the remaining generals had no time to mourn as they were not sure if that explosion was able to defeat the clone of Death. Schlau who was looking at his surroundings shouted at Sayaka.

"DODGE!"

Sayaka who heard Schlau's command was about to dodge but it was too late, the blade of the scythe had pierced her abdomen. Death's clone had survived the explosion and had successfully sneaked behind Sayaka.
