Reincarnated Hero System

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Heather rubbed the wolf's chin and it gave a low growl before licking her palm playfully. Since the gaze disappeared just as quickly as It appeared, it helped Luna calm down faster.

She reached where Amiyah was and the General, along with the others got on one knee to greet the Imperial Princess.

After the pleasantries were done and Amiyah wanted to lead Heather into the government house, her brow suddenly raised and she turned her gaze up to the sky.

What followed was the sound of a sonic boom, with a streak of gold light shooting down towards the ground.

**BAM!!

It landed a few metres away from them, and a gust of wind blew away the small dust cloud kicked up.

"I gotta say, the Fifth Army's quite impressive. The Average soldier level is a lot higher than I expected."

Those were the first words Evan spoke; his evaluation of the army that Heather and Lierin had come with.

Todbury as a state was about 10,000 square kilometres large, and Evan had easily flown through half that and back in somewhere under three to four minutes.

Just after he spoke about the Army, the boy turned towards the Princess and his expression changed.

He could not help stop the frown that appeared on his face, not because of Lierin, but because of the Wolf that Heather was riding.

For some reason, looking at it made him feel strange and there was this strange sense of weakness that enveloped him the moment he came within a certain radius of the battalion.

What's more, the wolf also looked at him strangely, before moving away from Heather's side and towards him.

Evan's danger sense skill sent him a warning and immediately, the boy went on guard as it meant that there was something about this wolf that could be a threat to him.

His first action was to appraise it, but instead of a status board, Evan was greeted with a notification that he had never seen before.

|Compiling Data.

'What in tarnation?'

Luna circled Evan like three or four times, much to the confusion of all those who knew it as the wolf didn't usually act like this with strangers.

Evan raised his gaze from the wolf and then turned to Heather before asking.

"Does it usually do this?"

"…No. I'm as surprised as you are."

As far as Heather knew, Luna usually decided if she liked someone or not within the first few seconds of meeting them. The wolf didn't bother with trying to sniff them like she was with Evan which was why she was just as surprised as Evan was.

Just as she replied to Evan, Luna suddenly opened her mouth and attempted to lick Evan's face, but the boy created an Elemental Shield and blocked it as he didn't have any plans of getting drenched in wolf saliva.

"Is this strange as well?"

"…yes.

Luna, come here."

The wolf gave up on trying to break Evan's elemental shield before trotting back to Heather, however, Evan's brow raised when he saw that there was a crack on the shield.

'What…?'

Just before he could analyse it, Heather spoke up once more, offering her greetings to him and he responded with his own. After a short talk, they decided to move into the Government house to continue but suddenly, a familiar notification appeared in Evan's field of vision.

|Connection Activated|

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that it has been a ḷ̴̡̛̟̱̂̊̅̃̇̊̏̆̈́̇̏͗̅̆͘͝ơ̴̛͓̣̭̟̖͔̙̇̆̊͛̿͌̉̀̒͗̀̔́̌̀̀̈́̃̌̌͑͛̚̚̕n̸̛̛̟̺͌̌̒̉̀̾̊̈̈́̆̾͊̽͗͗̕͘g̷̛̞̣͔̱̅̌̄̉̊̇̇͑̓͆̉̏͋̈́͌̍̈́́̃͐͋̋͐̊́̎͌̓̑̑͘͘͜͝ͅ??!!!—

The message suddenly scrambled and before Evan could even be surprised, Artemisia's urgent voice rang out in his head.

|Evan! Get away from that creature now!!!|

"?!"

The Urgency in Artemisia's voice was far higher than ever before, and as if to add to this, Danger Sense blared an alarm in his head.

Around Evan, there was only one entity that Artemisia would refer to as a 'creature' and it was the one thing that Evan just realised, was right beside him.

'When did—?!

His thoughts had not finished forming when Luna who had slipped out from Heather's side and somehow evaded Evan's senses, opened her mouth and playfully bit Evan's hand.

*CHOMP!

"Ow!"

"Hmm? Luna?!"

Heather finally noticed her wolf had bitten Evan and she quickly moved to pull it away. For Evan, however, his expression was one of pure shock, not from the fact that the wolf had bitten him, but from the sensation he felt.

Pain.

Evan could gauge this wolf's strength. It was around Level 300, the bottom rung of the grandmaster level.

It was something he could kill even while half asleep and something that should not be able to cause him damage with such a casual bite.

Heck, Evan had been bitten by a more powerful creature and his only worry was that his normal shirt got torn.

Yet, this particular wolf was able to bite him, ignore his 'S+ Level 60' durability like it wasn't even there and cause him pain.

**BAMM!!

Evan's reflexive action was to fling his arm and this sent the wolf's body flying a dozen metres in an instant. Heather rushed towards it and immediately, a gasp of surprise rang out from beside Evan.

"Evan, your arm."

"What about my ar-?"

Amiyah's words turned Evan's attention to his arm and when he looked at it, he saw a stream of crimson liquid flow down the limb.

'Blood…?'

Luna's bite had somehow bypassed Evan's durability and had even drawn blood from him. Even worse, despite how small it was, the wound did not seem to be healing.

Evan's S+ health stat was supposed to make small injuries like this heal in mere seconds, but even after ten seconds had passed, nothing happened.

'What is this…?'

The answer to Evan's question came in the same second he asked it.

|100%

Displaying Status. |

The status of the Wolf Luna appeared in Evan's eyes, and when he looked at it, his brain automatically ignored everything besides one line.

The strange feeling of weakness he felt, the reason for danger sense warning him, the reason why Luna had been able to wound Evan—the answer was displayed in the Wolf's race tab.

|Race: Half Moon Wolf-Half Dragonslayer. |

'Dragonslayer?'

Evan's thought instantly pulled up the System archive and displayed information on the subject for him; Information that he didn't even know was in the Archive.

"GRRR!!!"

Luna's low growl snapped Evan back to reality and he looked at the Wolf who was trying to rush out towards him before activating his intimidation skill at max potency.

"?!"

All the Generals present reflexively went into battle stance, their very souls screaming out to them to flee for their lives.

Even the wolf who had been growling at Evan, had all its hairs suddenly stand on end as the feeling of existential fear hooked it.

A part of Luna's body and soul roared in defiance, but the wolf's rational mind shut off that part very quickly as it understood that if Evan wanted to kill it, he'd only need a single strike.

"Princess Heather. Watch your pet properly."

Leaving whose words, the pressure Evan gave off disappeared, and the boy himself also vanished a moment later.

◇ ◇ ◇

After a series of teleportations via blink, Evan appeared at the foot of the Cudjour mountains, and he looked at his arm and infused his destructive energy into it.

Very quickly, the strange power that was stopping his wound from healing vanished and his arm returned to normal.

He then took a moment to properly calm himself before pulling up the Archive, however, he sensed a disturbance in the space around him and turned in the direction of the distortion.

'This feeling…it's teleportation…'

He had already drawn the unforged and was ready to strike when the figure of a familiar golden-eyed young woman with black hair appeared in front of him.

"Amelie? No…Artemisia."

"Come with me, Evan."

Artemisia grabbed Evan's arm and teleported them straight to the Rest Area of the Tower of Trials all the way over on the Cloud Piercing Isle in the Divider Ocean.

Immediately they arrived, Amelie's eyes suddenly went dim for a moment, and then Evan heard Artemisia's voice come from behind him.

"It's a little clunky, but it'd do just fine. Thank you, Amelie."

"It is my Honour."

Evan turned to see the real Artemisia who waved her hand and teleported Amelie back to Bonas City in the GWE. The goddess then snapped her fingers and two couches floated over and positioned themselves behind her and Evan.

"Sit. We have quite a bit to talk about.

I should have informed you of this right after your Evolution but a Prime World was destroyed and I was very busy."

The goddess casually dropped this bombshell of information as she sat down on the couch while Kalya manifested her physical body and asked.

[It was a Prime World?]

"Yes. That's why that 'Old fogey' could call everyone."

Artemisia replied before facing Evan and speaking.

"I know you have questions. And I'll start giving you your answers. Starting from the issue of 'Dragonslayers'."

Evan was silent for a moment before he closed the open system tab and replied.

"Okay, I'm listening."
