Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 477 - Morning Workout

Kor wasn\'t going to attack so he was looking at Ren\'s movements to see what he would do and depending on who Ren attacks Kor would use his body to defend that person. If it was Kor that Ren would attack, then the others could use that chance to attack Ren.

Mir was extremely tense at the moment as he knew that among the people present here he was the weakest. Not to mention the battle that he had witnessed before where Ren fought an actual Goddess still lingered in his mind. Standing right in front of him was a mortal man who could fight a Goddess and live to tell the tale, this made Mir feel anxious.

While the siblings were trying their best to remain calm as they faced Ren, Valdel was looking for an opening to strike. It was weird as Valdel was able to find a lot of openings. Usually, Ren wouldn\'t have any openings.

\'This is obviously a trap for a severe counter, still, this isn\'t Ren\'s usual style… What happened while he was sleeping?… Is this related to him being the Strongest Mortal Soul?\' Valdel shook his head to get all the unnecessary thoughts out of his head. \'I need to concentrate, one lapse in concentration would be the end. This might be a spar but he did say to come at him with all our might.\'

Valdel started to emit bloodlust which surprised Kor and Mir. Wasn\'t this supposed to be a simple spar, why are you emitting such an intense bloodlust? While the two brothers were panicking, Ren, on the other hand, was smiling that vicious smile of his.

"As expected of the person who\'s considered to be my best friend, you truly do understand me. Come then, let me have a good morning workout!"

Ren\'s shadow then started to expand and several dozens of weapons came out. There were hammers, spears, halberds, maces, daggers, and of course swords. Valdel had already seen Ren use this move and wasn\'t distracted by the weapons as he continued to focus on Ren.

Kor and Mir were rather surprised by the weapons that suddenly appeared, but they didn\'t dare get distracted.

As everyone\'s focus was on Ren, they suddenly saw Ren wearing gloves. The gloves he was wearing had hidden steel wires. Ren was not going to use mana in this fight as he was going to rely purely on technique alone.

Ren\'s hands were at the side as he stood straight, Valdeld then saw Ren twitching his index fingers. It was at that moment he sensed something coming from behind him, Valdel quickly ducked and a spear flew past by. Valdel was surprised as that spear flew without any trace of mana, how did Ren do it?

Valdel looked at the spear closely and with his vision enhanced by using mana, Valdel saw the thin steel wire that was attached to the spear. There was no mana fluctuation coming from Ren, that would mean he was controlling the steel wires with pure skill alone. As Valdel was surprised by that, he saw Ren moving all of his fingers this time.

Several weapons then started moving towards Valdel, Kor, and Mir. Even though the speed of the incoming attacks wasn\'t great it was hard for Valdel to dodge them since they don\'t emit any mana. Valdel\'s usual fighting style consisted of not using his eyes but feeling the mana fluctuation of the opponent. It has been such a long time since he fought using nothing but his five senses.

On the other hand, the beastkin siblings were doing a bit better as their senses were greater than any human, and they were dodging every strike. Still, the three continued to be on the defensive as they couldn\'t get close to Ren.

"Oh, so this much isn\'t enough. Then how about this!" Ren then lifted both his hands and his fingers looked like they were playing an invisible piano. Under the sunlight, Valdel could hardly see the thin steel wires. It was then Valdel felt something wrap around his right leg, not only him but even Kor and Mir had felt the same thing.

The three immediately looked at their legs and saw the steel wires wrapped around one of their legs. Ren then pulled back his hands and the three fell to the ground. Ren wanted to lift them up, but without using any mana and Spirit Aura he could not do it.

Valdel and Mir were still possible to be lifted up, but Kor was too heavy and the steel wires wouldn\'t be able to support his weight. So then Ren changed tactics and used the wires to control Mir. He tried to control Valdel as well, but Valdel was able to free himself from the wires.

Valdel then charged towards Ren, but before he got close enough he saw that Mir was about to collide with him. Valdel was going to dodge, but he once again felt a wire wrapped around his leg. Valdel clicked his tongue as the wire tripped him, making him unable to dodge Mir on time. As the two collided, out of nowhere two swords came flying towards them. The swords didn\'t hit them, but instead, the two swords were planted beside them. If Ren was trying to kill them these two swords could have easily pierced their hearts that neither Mir nor Valdel could have dodged the strike.

As Ren was fully focused on the two, Kor wasn\'t able to move in time. Ren didn\'t even bother to look at him, as Ren knew that Kor would never initiate an attack. Still, even if Kor did attack Ren was also ready for that.

The weapons on the ground were sucked back into Ren\'s shadow as he smiled happily at the three.

"Thanks, guys, for helping me stretch my body. So now that I\'m fully awake, how about we head out to war with the Temple of Light?"
