Reincarnated Hero System

In a little under six hours after the GEE Emperor's sudden Declaration OF War on Wolfen, Five of the Country's states had fallen under GEE control.

This was the news that people of other countries woke up to.

A sudden War that took the world by storm.

People didn't even know which piece of news to be shocked by the most; The GEE's motive, the fact that a Major World Power was initiating a war, or the part where it was stated that there were Heroes who supported this.

Fremond, Xuudrora, Zaalgow, Flirstead, and Tomond, were the five Wolfen States which had quickly fallen to the GEE's surprise attacks at 12:30 am.

Tens of thousands of soldiers marched into the states and the Wolfen military forces were subdued easily.

Martial law was declared, and all movement in and out of the states was restricted by the GEE Army.

The Trains in these states were then commandeered and used to send reinforcements to the places where the Wolfen Military Resistance was heavy.

The GEE's title of 'Major World Power' wasn't just for show, and they proved this to the world in the way they subdued these five cities.

In reality, however, while the GEE had indeed invaded five states, only four of them were actually taken over by the GEE soldiers.

This was not something the World was going to know until a day later when more ground-breaking news headlines were going to fly around.

As the other Nations of the Alpha continent received recordings of the GEE Emperor's broadcast, they had a variety of mixed reactions.

Some of them in particular, were not so surprised about this, as they had already been informed about this War beforehand by a certain hero.

Beast King Kolvar, Chief Grand Magus Gavin, and GWE's Emperor Rudeus all had the same question running through their heads when they received the news of this war.

'Evan had been waiting for this War for a while now, so exactly where was he while all of this was happening?'

The answer to that question lay in the fifth Wolfen State that fell to the GEE; Tomond.

Firecrest Camp

Tomond

Republic of Wolfen

June 15th

Year 1053

"…what the actual fuck are we looking at?"

Such words escaped the lips of a GEE soldier as she stared at the scene of devastation in front of her.

The woman was sure she wasn't the only one with such thoughts, evidenced by the looks on the faces of her fellow soldiers.

The Firecrest Camp of Tomond was one that boasted over 3500 ELITE soldiers strong, so they had attacked with a force of 5000, led by one of the Seven Star Generals.

Yet, none of them even had the chance to lift a finger.

The female soldier cleaned her eyes with her sleeve just to make sure she was seeing correctly.

Dozens, perhaps over a hundred giant icicles erected from the ground and pointed to the skies.

Within each of these icicles, were the half-frozen bodies of soldiers wearing the Wolfen army uniform.

Countless more lay on the ground unconscious, while some had tendrils of golden lightning sparking across their bodies occasionally, having been hit with enough lightning to electrocute a normal human on Earth V.

Golden chains bound the powerful grandmaster realm soldiers to giant pikes of ice that shot out from the ground. Though they were fully conscious, their petrified limbs prevented them from making any attempts to struggle.

The temperatures of the icicles were low enough that the soldiers felt like they were thrust right into the middle of an icy blizzard with nothing but their underwear, yet their bodies never got cold enough for them to have frostbites due to the brightly coloured tongues of flames that licked the base of the icicles.

The soldiers were either half-frozen, lying on the floor paralyzed, chained to icicles, half-petrified, half-buried under the ruins of the collapsed military base buildings, or just straight up unconscious.

Groans of pain rang out from all areas, but it was precisely because of these groans that the GEE soldiers could tell.

None of the Wolfen Soldiers was dead.

This trail of devastation led straight to the centre of the Camp where the main command centre building which had been cleaved in two was.

Getting closer, one could see that there were close to a dozen Commissioned military officers on the floor, at the feet of a teenage boy who was holding up a One-Star general in a chokehold.

"Your men have been vanquished, General.

Do you surrender, or die?"

Evan asked that question with a cold smile on his face, as he hoisted the Brigadier General up in the air, enough that he could see the devastation all around him and see his defeated soldiers.

"As you can see, I have not killed a single one of them. However, they would continue fighting as long as you have not given the order for them to surrender or retreat.

Good soldiers, the lot of them. Very valuable fighting force against the Invaders if they were to stay alive.

So do you give the order for them to surrender so they remain alive, or die?

Choose wisely."

The hero spoke as he let his crimson aura of destruction slowly flow up his wrist and to the Brigadier General's neck.

Evan's power control had increased to the point where he could subtly control his destruction essence without fully activating BoD.

It was a very limited control and did not have the Soul Damage attribute, but it was still enough to ignore a percentage of his target's durability and affect their health values directly.

'I only used Limit Break against these soldiers. They are a potential fighting force against the Demons and I would not like for too many of them to die.

But this is war now, I would only give them this small grace. If they cross my line, then to the afterlife they go.'

"Hahahahahahaha!!"

While he was lost in his thoughts, the General whom he was holding suddenly started laughing and Evan gave him a gaze that questioned his sanity.

"I don't know how many monsters you've killed to gain your power, but it seems you're still a naïve brat who doesn't dare to kill huma-!"

"Energy Blast."

**BOOOMM!!

"I asked a simple yes or no question and he started droning on about rubbish."

Evan clicked his tongue as he looked at the blood that splattered on his palm after he had blown the general's neck to oblivion and sighed before turning towards the next highest military officer present.

"Since your superior officer is dead, you are to automatically assume command of this Base.

Yes or No?"

"Yes!!"

The Colonel quickly replied to Evan's question while nodding, completely fearful of the boy after seeing how little hesitation he had in killing the Brigadier General.

"Do you surrender or do you wish to join your superior?"

"Surrender! I choose surrender! Please spare the men!"

"Wise choice."

Evan replied to the man before jumping down from the table he was standing on, while the Colonel quickly infused his voice with magic power and called for surrender.

Not like there was anyone capable of fighting left though.

The Hero walked out of the room while yawning, bumping into Beluar who was standing by the door.

"I'm done here, you handle the rest."

Beluar looked at his pocket watch that had the two hands in a vertical line and sighed, before snapping his fingers to teleport five GEE army officers into the hallway.

"You know what to do."

The Five Lieutenant Colonels nodded and rushed into the room Evan had just left while Beluar walked with Evan out of the half-

crumbling building.

"When you said you wanted to do this without killing a single person, I honestly thought you were being delusional."

"Of course, you did. Who the hell goes to war without the intent to kill?"

"You?"

Evan smiled wryly and shook his head as he refuted the older man.

"I have the intent to kill, it's just limited.

Anyway, it was kind of a little training for me. Going up against a Battalion without intending to kill anyone is a lot harder than doing so while aiming to kill them all.

I have to fine-tune my power such that I deal enough damage to leave the soldiers incapacitated and not dead. It was a workout."

Beluar looked at the boy who considered going up against over 3500 people (grandmasters included), and attempting to subdue them all without a single death to be a 'workout', wondering if he was really all right upstairs.

His focus, however, quickly shifted to something more important than Evan's workout plans.

"Like your Limited Killing Intent, we had very Limited desire for War prisoners, and now you have given us over 3500 War Prisoners with this."

"Not keeping Prisoners? Why? You could do hostage exchanges and stuff if any of your good men get captured."

The Star General nodded when he heard Evan's words, before repeating that they only intended to keep a limited number just in case of such situations.

The goal was to take the more valuable Commissioned officers as prisoners, and not everyone down to the foot soldiers.

"The Costs of maintaining prisoners of War are not ones we wish to incur. We cannot let them starve to death, or-"

"Who said you're gonna be the ones feeding them?"

"…"

Beluar raised a brow in question when Evan suddenly cut him off with that question, but the young Hero only raised his finger and told him to wait.

Evan then pressed his hands to his head and used his link with his contracted spirit.

"Kuro, am I still within range?"

[Yes, Master. Should I send over the group that Roselia got?]

"Yep."

As soon as Evan gave confirmation his shadow suddenly began wriggling, before expanding to over three times its original size.

There was a surge of magic power and Beluar who was very spatial attuned noticed that something was being teleported via Evan's shadow.

A few seconds later, a group of six men and women wearing corporate clothes and holding notepads and cameras emerged from Evan's shadow, with it quickly returning to normal afterwards.

"Thanks, Kur-"

"Heeee!!!!"

Evan was interrupted by the scream from one of the members of the group that just appeared, and when he turned towards them, he saw the reason why they screamed and jumped back in fear.

There was a wolfen soldier who had his legs petrified and his arms and torso charred black on the ground not too far from them.
