Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 480 - I Will Annihilate You All

The Head priest Baldur continued to rant on and on about how Ren was stupid and ungrateful. As he continued to talk more and more wyvern knights started appearing beside him. Baldur wasn\'t sure how strong Ren was, but he was confident in the wyvern knights that dedicated their lives and souls to their beloved Goddess, not to mention he as an individual was a powerful person.

Ren might have some fanciful title such as the Strongest Mortal Soul, but that might just be him being the strongest in a one-on-one scenario. Unlike Ren who stood alone, Baldur had with him the strongest army in the continent, the army created for the most astounding of Goddesses.

Baldur felt like Ren\'s pride was his undoing, for Ren came here alone believing he could destroy them by himself. Baldur didn\'t really believe that Ren could handle everyone present. So he continued to berate Ren since for some reason berating someone as powerful as Ren felt extremely satisfying. As Baldur continued to speak, Ren suddenly started moving forward.

Several wyvern knights went forward to protect Baldur and block Ren\'s path. It was at that moment Baldur felt something ominous and quickly stepped back. As he was confused as to what that feeling was Baldur heard Ren\'s surprised voice.

"Oh, so you were able to dodge that." Once those words came out of Ren\'s mouth the bodies of the wyverns and the heads of the knights riding them fell to the ground. They were all sliced in half, that cut was so clean and precise that no blood burst out, it just started dripping a bit.

"All units attack! Don\'t give him any room to do anything and press on and attack! Kill this heretic, kill him now!" Baldur was the first to react as he gave his orders while retreating. On the other hand, the wyvern knights charged forward.

Ren sighed as he watched Baldur retreating, he wanted to end the noisy priest in one shot. Yet he had made a mistake in his action. He should\'ve waited for a better opportunity before he attacked.

\'His irritating voice got to me, I got too impatient and attacked too early. Well, whatever, I just need to kill him now.\'

Ren evaded the tail whip of one wyvern, he then caught its tail and swung it around hitting the other nearby wyverns. Ren then tossed the wyvern towards the direction of the fleeing Baldur. The tossed wyvern moved so fast it was nearly about hit Baldur, but before it could even get close a wyvern knight intercepted it.

Seeing the head priest once again escape, Ren clicked his tongue. He then closed his eyes and breathed in and out, once he cooled down he showed his vicious smile to all and shouted.

"Fine! I don\'t care how lucky you are! I\'m going to annihilate you all, it doesn\'t matter if you flee now since in the end, you are all going to disappear today! So struggle all you want and come at me with everything you have, and know true despair!"

When Baldur heard what Ren said he gritted his teeth in frustration. It was like Ren was indirectly telling him that he was a coward. Baldur wanted to charge at the heretic but knew, that the moment he did so, he would die. In the few moves Ren made, Baldur quickly understood the difference of power between them. Still, that was alright since he still had an army with him.

"Use the cannons and bombard him!"

The cannons that were set on the airship were all aimed at Ren and they started firing at the same time. The sound each cannon made was like the roar of thunder. Seeing the incoming metal spheres falling towards him, Ren summoned Snertal and sliced the metal spheres before they reached him.

The moment Snertal sliced through the metal spheres they exploded. The power of each explosion was similar to a mid-tier spell.

\'Oh, those things aren\'t mana cannons nor are they holy cannons. Meaning those things aren\'t powered by mana nor divinity… I see, same as all the things here they created in this place, it\'s a weapon anyone could use. How truly wonderful this place is, if only they weren\'t worshiping such a worthless Goddess.\'

Ren continued to slice the incoming metal spheres, as they continued to fall he couldn\'t find an opportunity to attack back. So as he swung Snertal, Ren created numerous spears made out of pure mana. After a few minutes, there were now several mana spears floating beside him. Ren made the mana spears rotate as fast as possible which he then launched towards the airships.

"Intercept those spears!" The wyverns used their wyvern breath to attack the mana spears, but all that did was slow the spears a little bit. The cannons were then used to intercept the mana spears, they were somehow able to stop the mana spears from reaching, but they gave Ren enough time to counter-attack. Ren quickly summoned actual spears and threw them at the airships. Unlike his mana spears, the speed of his throw had created a sonic boom, pushing away anything that got near.

The airships started to fall down one by one like wingless birds crashing down towards the buildings below. It was at that moment Ren noticed that he had been surrounded, several hundred knights in full armor had gotten near him.

"Now this is what I\'m talking about!" Ren stomped on the ground which started cracking. As the ground shook some of the knights who were close to Ren had become unbalanced. It was at that moment, Ren stomped on the ground again making spears of earth pierced through the nearby knights.

Many had died in that one instance, but none of the knights loyal to the Temple of Light backed away, instead those that survived charged forward. Ren then returned Snertal into his shadow and summoned a long halberd which he started to spin around. Ren holding the halberd was like a hurricane of death, as he ripped apart the incoming knights.

Kim Chul who had successfully evacuated the citizens of the lower district to a safe place, came back to help Ren, but what he saw had him dumbfounded. As blood and flesh flew throughout the battlefield, you could hear the cries of pain of the knights and the laughter of joy of a certain man.

\'If I didn\'t know how this conflict started it would look like Ren was the bad guy.\'
