Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 162 - What do you want?

While Wang Lin sat in a daze, Silika who was watching at the side was in awe of what she saw. One of the twin moons was cut in half. It was so cleanly cut that it just looks like there was a line separating the two pieces. The two pieces of the moon were so close together that it didn't feel like it was cut. But what was even more surprising than that were the stars that were in the path of the slash they all disappeared from the night sky.

Silika always believed that Leo was the strongest of the incarnations, but upon witnessing the might of the first incarnation she knew that she was sorely mistaken.

While Silika was looking at Ren(?) in awe, a rain of blood came falling down. It would seem that one attack of Ren(?) killed anything that was in the path of the sword slash.

...

In different places of the continent, a rain of blood came down from above. In some places, some wyverns and even dragons were killed by that one attack. This made the people fearful, and they all asked were the Gods fighting? If so which Gods were in the midst of battle? But the people also found it weird, since even Gods can't kill a dragon so easily, yet four have died in that one attack.

If that wasn't enough most people noticed that the moon above their heads was sliced in half. Even the bright stars in the sky have faded. Most of the mages were in awe of the sight, as they wish to learn what kind of spell was able to create such a display of might. They would never believe that this was created by a sword technique since to them any sword technique could never be able to reach the destructive capabilities of magic.

The temples created by humans to serve the Gods and Goddesses were also panicking, as they thought they were about to go to war with another temple. Since to them, the only beings capable of such a feat were the Gods. Yet it only took a few minutes for the Popes and the holy maidens to receive divine revelations telling them that the Gods weren't responsible for what happened.

Instead, they were told that a being of unimaginable strength that they couldn't pinpoint was the one who did this. Some of the Gods and Goddesses can guess as to who it could be since they knew of Ren's other incarnations personally. The other Gods and Goddesses, on the other hand, couldn't find any trace of the being who did that attack.

This was one of the passive skills that each incarnation had to elude the senses of diving beings. They needed this skill to give them enough time to grow before they faced the enemies that needed to be dealt with. Usually, an incarnation of Ren was already the strongest right from the start, but as of late each incarnation was getting weaker. The influence of the ORIGIN was finally affecting them, but because of their unnatural strength, they were still able to withstand it.

...

The elves that were most in tune with the world, upon witnessing the scene of one of the moons being cut in half and the rain of blood that came afterward worried them. There were four races of elves in the continent and each one of them was worried about different things. The dark elves and the moon elves who draw power from the moon were worried about the effects of one of them being cut in half, and questioned if this will this also affect their powers?

The wood elves were worried about what would happen to the ecosystem of the forest since a dragon the apex predator within said forest just died.

On the other hand, the high elves, the oldest and fewest of the elves were having mixed emotions at the moment, but most of them were worried. They knew of the person who had cut the very stars themselves. Every time that person appears it would mean something that affects every living being was about to happen. That was the kind of being that person was, he was both the savior and the bringer of death.

...

The dwarves who were holed up in their tunnels weren't able to witness the spectacle of the sliced moon. So they continue with their lives unperturbed.

...

The demons especially the higher-ranked ones were wondering if the prophecy of the late demon lord was about to come true.

...

The other races, on the other hand, felt like that the slicing of the moon and rain of blood was a sign of an upcoming apocalypse.

...

At the very edge of the world, a very familiar being looked up at the night sky and cried. She smiled ever so weakly as she witnessed the moment one of the two moons was sliced in half, and the stars were destroyed.

"Still the same as ever..." The person weakly spoke before going back to sleep.

...

While everyone was rattled by the event that transpired, the one responsible for said event sighed. He looked a bit melancholic as he simply stood in one spot unmoving.

...

Ren who was witnessing the whole thing inside the realm of his soul was still a little shocked. He was already expecting the original to be strong, especially knowing that he was the strongest incarnation. Ren already knew how strong Leo was and that guy said he wasn't even within the top three in strength. So Ren was already expecting the original to be unimaginably strong, but seeing it first hand was something else.

"Every time I get to witness his power, it just makes me excited!" Leo and the other incarnations that were beside Ren who were watching the fight(?) were all trembling in excitement. All of them no matter which incarnation were all battle junkies. Since the base of their personalities all stems from the original. There may be some differences depending on how each incarnation was raised but that excitement they had for battle can never change.

They were all thinking the same thing, 'I want to fight the original.' It didn't matter if they had no chance, it didn't matter if victory was impossible, actually that made it even more exciting. They knew that even if all the incarnations attacked the original, they won't even last a few seconds. They knew this, but their lust for battle made them want to fight.

They wanted to fight the so called strongest, the first swordsman, the original mortal soul. They really wanted to fight the original, as their battle spirit rose.

...

While all the incarnations were getting rather excited, the first incarnation looked at Wang Lin. His eyes upon looking at Wang Lin contained neither arrogance or contempt after winning the battle. All Wang Lin could see in Ren's(?) eyes was sadness and disappointment. Wang Lin could understand the disappointment, but he couldn't understand why he saw such deep sadness in Ren's eyes. While Wang Lin was thinking, Ren asked him a question.

"So do you wish to continue?"

Hearing Ren's(?) voice shook Wang Lin awake, he then chuckled awkwardly at what Ren(?) said. 'Continue? Continue to fight this monster? Even with a thousand of me can't even touch his hair. After I started living as Lance Resteti I always thought I can become the strongest in this world. Yet with him here, I stand no chance.'

"I give up, kill me if you wish." Wang Lin was full of regrets and he didn't want to die. He still wanted to show his parents of this life a brighter future for his family. He wanted to wipe away the sin his current family made. He wanted to get back at the arrogant royal family that stole away his younger brother. Yet what can he do, in front of someone like this, even his trump card was worthless.

"What are you saying? I do not wish to kill you." Ren(?) spoke confused as to why Wang Lin thought he would kill him.

"Huh?"

"If I wanted to kill you, then the moment you told me who you were, was the moment you should have died. But here you are still talking to me, alive, aren't you?"

He was right, if Ren wanted him dead with how large the difference in skill and power between them was, he should've been dead the moment he attacked Ren.

"Then, what is it do you want from me?"
