Reincarnated Hero System

616 Third Sovereign of the Day

Though Evan had blacked out, the boy was still standing, just that his eyes were closed.

However, Pride and the Spirits contracted with him quickly realised that the boy wasn't conscious anymore.

Eliza who had wanted to rush to Evan earlier, flared her aura and broke out of Kuro's shadowy restraints, but almost immediately, she was restrained once more by Kuro, Milena and even Pride.

"What the hell guys?!"

The Battle Priestess rarely felt true anger, and now was one of those rare moments, with the emotion being targeted at her companions.

Contrary to her current state, Pride remained calm and explained the reason why she had stopped Eliza from getting to Evan.

"He's in a volatile state now…you would not like how his body would react if you were to go near him now."

"…what?"

Just as Eliza asked her question, they sensed a surge of energy coming from Evan's direction, turning to see the boy enveloped in a mass of world-law energy.

His body floated into the air and curled up in a fetal position, after which the world law energy solidified, forming an opaque cocoon of multiple colours.

The cocoon's shape was roughly an oval, with a majority of its surface being 'Golden' in colour. A portion of it was 'Grey', another was 'Red', there was also a 'Light Blue' and one portion of the cocoon was multi-coloured, like a 'Rainbow'.

Seeing this, Evan's companions quickly understood what the colours meant.

"His aura…the essence of destruction, and his unique skills."

As if confirming Pride's mutter, a portion of the golden part of the cocoon suddenly seemed to liquefy and swirl around in a small vortex before resolidifying once more.

Concluding the cocoon's transformation, was a thin layer of red light that surrounded the entire cocoon, a little bit of 'protection' from the law of destruction itself.

Eliza twisted her lips in light annoyance when she saw this, remaining stationary even though the spirits had released their restraints.

[Don't worry, Master is fine.]

Kayla spoke towards the teenage blonde who was still clearly worried, especially as she knew that Evan had overused BoD to the point where the destruction essence should have lashed back at him.

[Remember when he said there was something stopping him from achieving grandmaster level? He's fixing it now.]

The spirit knew this due to Artemisia who was watching Evan's evolution closely, so there would not be any mishaps of any kind.

Her words, however, sent waves of shock rippling through the crowd around them, as she had just indirectly stated that Evan was NOT the grandmaster everyone thought he was.

"He isn't a grandmaster…and he was that strong? That's bullshit!"

One of the Living Legends even directly refuted Kayla's words, but the spirit only turned towards him with blank eyes and asked a single question.

[Did he ever say with his own mouth, that he was a grandmaster?]

Her question filled the area with silence as never once had Evan stated he was a grandmaster. Even when asked, the boy just ignored the question and let people assume whatever they wanted.

[You're the ones who called him an 'Irregular'. Why are you so surprised that he had the power of a grandmaster when not being one?]

Kayla shook her head as if she could not understand how ridiculous their thoughts were, before returning her focus to Eliza who still had her gaze locked on the cocoon.

[Don't worry, he'll be fine.]

Eliza silently heaved a sigh, releasing her fist that had been clenched so hard, her fingernails had wounded her palms.

She looked at the blood flowing from the wound and in barely a second, the excessive life energy currently in her body washed over it and healed her arm.

Just as she turned around and was about to return to where the healers were treating the wounded combatants, she heard gasps of surprise ring out from behind her.

Upon looking back and tracing the gazes of those around her to the skies, she was met with the figure of the last person she could have expected to see here.

It was a white-haired old man with eyes as green as her life energy, floating in the sky and looking right straight at her.

"Gra—?!"

Her words, however, were not completed as another green-eyed man suddenly appeared behind her and tapped the side of her head with a palm coated in life energy.

Instantly, her eyes glazed over and she lost consciousness, but before she could fall into his outstretched arms, spatial energy wrapped around her body and teleported her away.

"…what are you doing, Laneford?"

Dandeyr's voice rang out as he moved his gaze from the unconscious battle priestess who was in the arms of her boyfriend's contracted spirit, and towards the grey-haired man who had knocked her unconscious in the first place.

"I have no reason to explain myself to you, Beast keeper."

Eliza's uncle, George Kaur didn't seem to have any intention of talking, instead fixing his gaze on Eliza whom Kayla was holding onto tightly.

The lightning spirit glared at him with wariness in her eyes, and as if taking that as a cue, all the ambient spirits in the area manifested their physical bodies, directing their hostility towards the man.

"Stand down, George. The spirit is simply protecting her Master's companion."

The voice of the white-haired man in the sky rang out as the man's aura burst out of his body and swept across the entire Buffer Zone.

It was then that the attentions of the others who had not noticed his appearance were called towards him, and the reason why the Living Legends had gasped in surprise when he appeared was revealed.

"Sovereign…"

Three of Aidos' Sovereigns had made appearances at the same place, within the span of a few minutes.

Leaving aside the Vaeri whom barely anyone knew about, the other two were people with great reputations that stretched back over a hundred years.

Dandeyr, a relative of the 'Beast King' and one of the Beast Keepers, was the one who identified the second.

"Head Elder of the Laneford Clan…Alden Kaur…"

He ignored the commotion his mutter had caused, and quickly looked towards Eliza and back at Alden.

'As I thought…the girl is a Laneford as well.'

Alden momentarily glanced at Eliza, but before he descended to the ground, he decided to offer the Beast Kingdom a little 'help'.

"Life Manipulation: Resurgence Wave."

His words invoked the energy of the World Law of life, sending out a radiant surge of vibrant energy from his form and rippling across the expanse below him.

The undulating waves of energy reached out with a gentle, yet potent touch, sweeping across the tens of thousands of wounded combatants in the Buffer zone and knitting together their wounds.

Tired bodies were revitalised, and vitality was breathed into those whose lives were hanging by a thread.

The entire battleground was covered in an ethereal glow, which cast a serene ambience over the area. Wounded soldiers watched their injuries close up in real-time, even those whose limbs had nearly been torn off from their bodies saw as their flesh reattached itself.

A chorus of sighs and murmurs of gratitude echoed through the air as the Life Law Resurgence Wave completed its benevolent dance, leaving in its wake a field of revitalised combatants.

However, this act was not done simply out of Alden's good will, but simply because of Eliza.

The girl was clearly intending to go on with healing the wounded combatants, even though she herself was fatigued from the overload of Life energy.

Her body had served as a conduit to absorb life energy from monsters and redistribute that energy to the combatants fighting the monsters, and she had done this so many times that the strain had built up considerably.

George had knocked her unconscious simply because he was worried about her and wanted her body to rest and recuperate naturally.

Alden had simply healed the others because his granddaughter had intended to do so herself, so he did it in her place…and on a far larger scale than she could have imagined. It did take a lot of energy, even for a Sovereign like him, but the man wasn't too bothered.

He was going to make the Beast Kingdom owe him a favour as there were thousands of soldiers among those whom he had healed.

The man took a deep breath before descending to the ground, but before he could speak to Dandeyr, David spoke up.

"Your aid, Sovereign Kaur, is most appreciated."

Handing the communicator that he held to one of the Beast Kingdom's 'Living Legends' nearby, the boy approached Alden.

"Before we delve into further discussions, I wish to notify you that Evan Eris and his companions are esteemed guests of the Barthmont Palace."

David cast a sidelong glance at the Beast Kingdom officials and attendants who had accompanied him and his sister from the capital and continued.

"Any disrespect towards them will be considered a 'Crime against the Crown'."
