Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Chapter 131 We Have just begin

As Aldred fought the forgotten warrior, he didn’t know that many people were watching him through technology and trinkets.

These devices were tiny, mobile, and hidden from plain sight. A lot of people were watching him because of his power. They had to know his capabilities before deciding to befriend or eliminate him.

One such device was owned by Thinker. He was currently watching the battle unfold between Aldred and the golden warrior.

…

“Fire Combustion!” Aldred shouted and the golden warrior was engulfed by flames. Yet it did not stop the warrior from killing his undead.

Bartrem also struggled to keep the warrior in check. The chains did not work effectively as he expected.

Aldred did not think much about it. He hadn’t even used his main skill yet. He wanted to play around with his armor first to know what it was capable of.

“Blood Cloning.” Another Aldred popped out and attacked the golden warrior at the same time.

They used the rare grade swords to attack, sending arc after arc at the enemy which was blocked by the spear. Blue lightning blasted everywhere, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions.

Aldred laughed. This was such an exciting battle. He approached his enemy from the side and blasted a flame jet on his waist. The warrior was sent flying, but his clone ran at the enemy and sent out a storm of fire bullets.

Like a roaring machine gun, the fire bullets were like a heavy rain as it constantly hit the warrior. When his clone got close, it opened its palms and shot dozens of fire javelins that stabbed through the armor.

The warrior swung his spear and blasted all the fire javelins away. The clone smirked and leaped to the side, revealing a gigantic fire fist that came from behind, slamming against the warrior before exploding.

The warrior was knocked back by a dozen steps, but he did not fall. He looked up and saw two Aldred with large fireballs on their index fingers.

They both grinned. “True suns.”

The two large fireballs came like a giant sun. It slammed into the warrior as if it was a bowling ball and then exploded.

Bella, Mira, and Sophia cast magic shields around the soldiers to protect them.

Flames were burning all around the arena. After it dissipated, Aldred noticed the crystals on the armor dimmed. Though there were no cracks or scratches on the armor, the warrior had been weakened.

Yet, the warrior raised his runic spear, and said something for the first time. “Judgment.”

A loud sound came from above, and thousands of giant golden swords fell like raindrops.

“Shit! Protect yourself!”_-.

Mira, Bella, and Sophia casted another layer of magic shields. Aldred casted his water shield for them as well, but he did not enter the shield, instead, he charged at the flying swords and blasted them with his fireballs, bullets, fist, and sword art.

Teethless flew into the sky and sent out fireballs to blast the swords away. Some swords slipped through them and fell on the magic shield. A few penetrated through, but thankfully Bartrem had ordered the soldiers to raise their shields, and they successfully deflected the swords.

But there was one sword that went straight for Mira. Aldred gritted his teeth, but he couldn’t stop it or else more swords would fall down.

“I have to use that.” Aldred pulled the Ring of Doarus, given by the empress. Then he threw it at Mira.

“Mira! Use that ring!”

Mira caught the ring just moments before the sword was about to kill her, she channeled her mana into it, and black mist engulfed her before she vanished, and the sword hit at the place where she was before.

Seconds later, black mist appeared and Mira was back. She looked at the ring, wondering what it was.

Aldred was still deflecting the swords, but in the background, everyone that spied on him with their mobile devices were staring at the ring.

Thinker’s device was a mechanical fly with numerous eyes. It was scanning the ring on Mira’s hand, and Thinker’s eyes gleamed in red. “New mission: Obtain the ring. Difficulty: Hard. Requesting support.”

…

After a few minutes, the rain of swords stopped. The warrior was about to cast another skill, but Will, the beast slapper, used his tentacles to slap him in the face.

“Good job, Will.”

Aldred approached the warrior. He wanted to give the man some nightmare first, but then he was shocked to find out the man wasn’t a man after all. It was just armor with no soul or blood.

“Wait, there is a strand of soul on the head.”

The soul beckoned for him to get closer as the armor lay on the ground. It whispered inside his mind. ‘I have found you worthy.’

“I know,” Aldred said. “But tell me about this princess of yours. Is she hot?”

‘You have great potential and this battle gear couldn’t accompany you forever, but I hope you give it honor as part of your journey.’

‘This set of armor is called Golden Battle Gear, and it is not yet complete. Go to Paphia and visit the Lair of Treasure. It’s a Gold Rank Dungeon. Defeat the guardian and take the shield. Only when you complete the battle gear can you harness its full power.’

“Alright, I will.”

The soul seems to be happy. “And yes, she is beautiful. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in this world.”

The soul disappeared.

“Wait! Does she have big peaks or a flat airport? You need to tell me this before leaving.”

Mary could only sigh and shook her head while Mareona was fuming puffs of smoke off her head and hit his head.

“Ow! That hurt.”

“It better be hurt or I won’t stop hitting you.”

“What did it say to you?” Mary asked.

“Something about Gold Rank Dungeon and that I will find a powerful shield in there.”

“Maybe we can go there after we climb down the mountain.”

Aldred nodded.

Suddenly, the battle gear shattered into dozens of pieces before it clad itself into Aldred. It fitted into his small size which meant that the armor could morph accordingly.

Aldred morphed into his adult form and sure enough, the armor morphed to his size. He morphed into a bunch of other creatures such as Bajaragon, Phantom Claw, Velobra, and Gargant Eagle, and the armor kept on morphing along with him.

“This is incredible.” Aldred returned to his normal form and picked up the spear. He realized he could manipulate blue lightning with this gear on although he needed to practice for a bit to master it.

[Golden Battle Gear]

-Reduce damage by Acid

-Reduce damage by flame

-Increase strength by 90%

-Increase agility by 90%

-Flight

-Self repair

-Manipulate blue lightning produced by the crystals on the armor.

“Battle gear? An interesting name.” Aldred chuckled.

Mary and Mira flinched.

“Did you say battle gear?” Mary asked, staring at the golden armor that wrapped around Aldred.

“Do you know something about it?”

“I read from books, but never got to see one. It was said that battle gear can never be made, can never be looked at, but it can only be found by great luck. Many tales of legends described battle gear as the armaments of gods because it allows warriors to manipulate certain elements according to their will. As you know, only heroes are capable of doing that, but the power of this element is proportional to the warrior’s strength, so to a certain extent, the armor grew alongside the warrior.”

‘So it’s just like the All Devouring Stick,’ Aldred thought. Now that he thought about it, could he devour the battle gear into the stick and then use it again?

Mira caressed the armor. “The bible also described the armor as such. When the gods send an emissary down to enforce his rule, they come with powerful battle gear that push out all evil. Some scribes said that their armor was so bright to the evil eyes that they became blind.”

“Is that why when the warrior first appeared it sent out a blinding light?” Aldred asked.

“It’s possible. Even though I guided many heroes to power, I never saw battle gear before.”

Aldred looked at his own armor and wondered if he could absorb it into his stick. If he could, that would be very convenient.

Should he do it?

After some consideration, Aldred decided to do it. He tapped the armor with the stick, and it melted before being sucked in by the stick.

Mira and Mary looked like their souls were just pulled out of their bodies.

That was a battle gear. A legendary battle gear that only exists in legends and stories!

“Aldred, what are you doing?” Mary was horrified.

“It’s fine,” Aldred said. “Check this out.” He flicked the stick, and then it transformed into the golden battle gear that wrapped around his body immediately. At the end of the transformation, the runic blue spear came out of his right hand.

“Now, I have a portable Golden Battle Gear that I can bring anywhere without being stared at by people.”

“That’s smart,” Bartrem said. “If you go out with that armor, people will try to rob you.”

Mareona raised an eyebrow. “Will any robbers dare to do that?”

“Not just any robbers. I am talking about nobles and powerful scions who would like to grab your gear for themselves.”

Sophia nodded in agreement. She didn’t want anything bad to happen to Aldred.

Aldred smiled. “I don’t have to worry about robbers. I can keep the gear in my inventory, but it’s more convenient if my stick can absorb it, and so I did. To be honest I was really nervous that it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, it did just fine.”

“So what do we do now?” Mareona asked.

Aldred looked at the dice. The green arrow had turned into a small button. When Aldred pressed it, a powerful light covered their body, and they felt something rushed inside.

[+7,000 EXP]

[+7,000 EXP]

[+7,000 EXP]

[+7,000 EXP]

[You have level up]

[You have level up]

The soldiers, the undead, Mary, Mira, Sophia, Mareona, Bartrem, Joseph, Jeffery, Pongo, and everyone here all level up and got even more powerful than before. His 76 Silver Undead broke through the gold rank, and so he now had 176 Gold Rank undead.

Aldred checked his status.

All of that and he only got two levels, but the increase in attributes was crazy. His intelligence even went up to 326 because of Mount Fargon.

Joining the treasure hunt was beneficial. Even if they fail, the amount of stats they earned was too good.

“The journey itself is a treasure,” Aldred said.

Everyone nodded in agreement after feeling their new power.
