Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 169 Counter For Revival

"This artifact is indeed handy, but you say it's in another county?"

"Yep. A country that's way too far for us to go to. It'd be easier to go to Hobha and then to the Great Western Empire and back than to go there right now.

So, I'm gonna have to bear with it. And we are going to have to level up so we aren't forced to use our trump cards so easily."

"So, about that power levelling thing you spoke of?"

"Worry not Eliza, Pride and I would help you boost your level to over 100 very quickly. You would catch up to where we are now in no time.

Oh and, we're still gonna enter monster rooms."

Eliza's brow twitched in annoyance as she whipped out her staff and flung it towards Evan's head, forcing the young hero to either duck or lose a head.

"What gives?!"

"Did you learn nothing from today?!

You want us to go to another monster room when we've not even figured out how to get out of this one!"

**SHOOWSHH! **BAM!

Her staff tore through the air as Evan rolled out of the way just in time to avoid it from slamming on his body.

"It's more for your sake than mine!

You are pretty much one of our trump cards against that bastard who wants to wipe out millions with undead!

Besides the reason we can't leave here is because Artemisia hasn't unlocked the door, when she does, we can leave with ease."

"Oh, that's good.

p But what's this about me being a trump card? Why don't I know this?!"

"Because I hadn't told you yet!"

Evan screamed out his reply as he twisted his upper body to dodge the radiant codex that came flying through the air, seconds before he jumped to avoid the staff attempting to sweep him off his feet.

"Why hadn't you told me something this important?!"

"Cus I was looking for alternatives!

You being our trump card is like tossing you into a lion's den, putting you in so much danger and I didn't want that so I wanted to find another alternative.

But you just had to go and get yourself a title that literally screamed 'Trump Card against the Eighth Finger'!

It's your fa-OUF!"

Evan's words were cut short when Eliza's fist slammed into his torso, sending him flying a few metres and slamming into the wall behind him.

"...Is this the power of the unarmed combat skill? How did I feel her punch that much when wearing armour?"

The young hero suddenly felt a chill down his spine, his body responding as he tried to run away but he was too late.

**BAM!

Eliza's magic staff slammed into the all on his left side and she rose her leg and used it to block his right side, effectively trapping the poor hero in between her and the wall.

"Evan..."

"...yes, ma'am."

"Explain everything.

Now!"

Upon being caught, the young hero had no choice but to explain his plan to use Eliza's child of life skill to mess with the Eighth Finger's 'real' trump card.

"The truth is, the leader of the ten fingers has a skill that he can use to revive all of the ten fingers at the cost of half to three-quarter of their maximum power.

So even if we kill the eighth finger, his boss can just bring him back."

This was a truth that very few people in Aidos knew of. To begin with, the number of people who were aware of the existence of the 'Demonic Hand' were already few when compared to the population on the planet.

This skill that the leader of the demonic hand possessed, was the reason why 'The Five' referred to the demonic hand as being more tenacious than cockroaches.

As far as the 'First Finger' was still alive, then it was impossible to kill off the demonic hand completely.

"It's a skill that I really didn't understand before, but after gaining information on the worldly law doctrines, I can now understand how the skill works.

It's a skill that utilizes the power of the law of reincarnation to revive a certain amount of people as far as certain conditions are met.

One of the things that can beat that-"

"-the power of another law. Something Eliza can temporarily use with her unique skill."

Pride completed Evan's statement as she tossed all the magic stones Kuro had packed into a small bag, before tossing the bag to Evan.

"If Eliza manages to imbue the weapon of the one who deals the last blow on him with the essence of the law of life, then it is possible to cut his connection to the skill that would revive him upon his death.

That's what I was thinking, but the battlefield where the Eighth finger would be fighting in, is one where any random attack has a 50% of killing her in one shot.

So, I decided to get her to level up for now while thinking about any artifacts, tools or people I could get to that would serve the same purpose and keep her out of danger.

Or I could just do it myself."

""Huh?""

The two stared at Evan in shock when they heard the young hero's words. He had just told them that Eliza's skill was the trump card and then suddenly said he could do it himself.

"Eliza's skill is not the only one capable of countering his revival skill. Anyone with a Series Skill is capable of doing so provided they can use their skill properly.

I mean, his revival ability is the effect of his own Series Skill. So it stands to reason that it can be counteracted with another Series Skill."

'That was the only way to kill him in the game too, with series skills and every player had one since we all had to start out with one of the seven heroes.'

"As for me, I think I need to be in at least stage three of my skill to kill him permanently and this is only if I deal the last blow. I don't know about Pride though.

It's just that Eliza is the best counter in this case since our enemy is a necromancer that deals in death and her skill is a skill that deals with life."

Hearing his words, the two stared at Evan, before looking at each other and then back at Evan.

"Huh? Why are you guys looking at me funny?"
