Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 72 Adaptive Evolution To The Rescue



The spiders, perhaps sensing Merle to have the most energy amongst the quartet and deeming her a greater threat, fired streams of white spider webs like bullets, aimed at her.

Iolana stepped up with shield in hand as she activated her protection skill and attempted to block the web bullets, however, her movements seemed more sluggish than before.

'Something's wrong...'

**BOOMM!! BOOMM!!

Before Evan could address his suspicion, the sound of a cannon shell colliding with metal rang out consecutively, surprising Evan as he did not expect such destructive power from a mere spider web bullet!

Appraising one of the spiders, Evan barely held him self back from cursing out loud.

'In what world is that the status of a Level 90?!

So many skills! Who the hell buffed this thing?!'

Evan screamed internally as he took note of the spider monster's various skills and their effects.

'Huh? Poison Mist...?'

|Poison Mist;

Type: Rare Active Skill

Effect;

By mixing the user's magic power with the ambient magic power, this skill allows the user to release an odorless poison in the form of mist into the atmosphere.

The Poison's effects range from nausea to paralysis and in the worst-case scenario, death. |

The name and effect of the skill sent chills down Evan's spine as he remembered seeing some mist in the area before he forced the spiders out of the ground with his energy blast.

"Shit! Everyone! Take an antidote now! We've been poisoned!"

'Kayla! Kuro!'

Evan called out to the young great spirit who responded by activating her newly acquired skill.

[Electroflame!]

[Shadow Bind!]

Kayla's Electroflame summoned bolts of golden lightning that descended onto the spiders' bodies while Kuro utilized the spiders' shadows to hold them in place to prevent them from moving.

The moment the bolts of lightning hit the immobile spiders, a rose of flames bloomed on the bodies of the spiders at the point of impact.

The flames mixed with the lightning, resulting in an elemental reaction that triggered an explosion on the bodies of the three spiders.

*KIEEEEKKKK!!

*KIIIEEEEKKKKKK!!!

The spiders screeched in pain as the ground cracked open, revealing another trio of spiders that shot out streams of white web bullets.

"Hup!"

The attacks from the new enemies caused Iolana to drop the antidote bottle she was about to drink from and rush forward with her shield, activating two of her skills simultaneously.

"Protection. Blazing Defense!"

**BOOMM!! BOOMM!!

Her face was a little pale as the effects of the poison had started showing, her physical strength not being enough to avoid getting knocked back by the bombardment of web bullets.

"Argh!"

She grunted in pain as she fell to the ground, her grip on her shield loosening, causing the shield to fly out of her hands.

The sudden appearance of a notification board in front of Evan, caused him to make the decision to dash towards her in the next moment, as Nodin slammed his spear into the ground and released a shockwave that knocked back the two trios of spiders.

[Die Pests!]

"Fire Magic: Spear of Retribution."

Kayla screamed out as dozens of lightning bolts manifested in the air and launched towards the spiders.

Simultaneously Merle rose her hand in the air and a giant two-ringed magic circle appeared. A spear of flames emerged from this circle, crashing into the midst of the spiders.

***KAAAABOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

The explosion, was a matter of course as three of the spiders, having been damaged by Kayla's Electroflame perished instantly.

"Haaaatt!!"

As for the other three, one had its head pierced by Nodin's spear as he charged through the flames with a shout.

Evan reached Iolana and opened up his antidote bottle, forcing her to drink the contents while Kuro ran over to her shield and pushed it closer to her hands.

This small action was only noticed by Merle who worriedly looked in her sister's direction but had to turn her attention back to the quartet of spiders that came in from various directions the moment after.

"I-I'm fine, so take care of the spiders!"

"Got it!"

Evan replied to Iolana as he clenched his fists and charged at one of the giant spiders in charging towards them.

Nodin was also shooting out shockwaves at the other giant spiders, handling two at the same time. He used his shockwaves to make them lose their footing, taking out two or more of their eight legs before charging forward with his spear and coating it in magic power before swinging it.

A slash of pure magic power was released from the swung-out spear, going on to slice off the front legs of one of the spiders and leaving a gash on its belly.

**KIEEEEKKKK!!!

The spider screeched as it created a magic circle in front of it, intending to fire blobs of poison. Sadly, Merle's flame lizards incinerated it before it could launch its magic.

On Evan's end, he charged toward the spider with Paladin activated, closing the distance instantly as he slid underneath the four-meter-tall creature and sent a lightning infused punch to its belly.

The force of his punch, with his strength being enhanced by his paladin skill, was enough to lift the spider off the ground temporarily, giving him enough time to charge a small energy blast and launch the skill towards the spider's head.

**WOOONG!

He rolled out of the way just in time to avoid the corpse falling on his head, hurriedly standing up to avoid the sharp spider leg that came from above.

The large spider screeched at him, perhaps enraged at the death of its brethren but it never got the chance for revenge as Merle's flame lizard set it ablaze in the next moment.

Evan clapped his palms together and slowly separated them, revealing a small ball of lighting formed in between his palms.

His destructive energy circuit wildly circulated his magic power as he grabbed the ball of lighting and slammed it into the head of the spider.

'Shit!'

Evan cursed internally as the ball of lightning exploded, along with the rest of the spider's head, causing small chunks of flesh and disgusting fluids to splash on his face.

[Level Up]

[Level Up]

'About time.'

◇ ◇ ◇

The party finally had the chance to rest as they had exterminated all the groups of spiders that attempted to ambush them from underground.

Merle, who seemed to be angry that her sister was 'hurt' by the spiders, commanded her flame lizards to burn them to ashes as she downed potion after potion to recover her magic power.

Evan on the other hand relished the feeling of being Level 80 as he punched through the spiders' heads with lighting infused gauntlets.

Kayla flew around and dropped lightning bolts on the spiders, sometimes paralysing them while occasionally turning them to charcoal with her Electroflame.

Nodin displayed a level of mastery in the spear that Evan had to admit was far better than his as the bearded young man sliced and diced the spiders with finesse.

Eventually, they succeeded in exterminating all of the Royal Guards that they came across, going deeper and deeper into the dungeon.

By this time, three hours had passed making Evan think that they would be meeting the boss of the dungeon soon.

"Are you sure you're okay? I saw you give her your antidote."

Merle asked when the group stopped to rest as she noticed that Evan had not taken an antidote during the earlier battle against the spider royal guards.

"I'm fine. Let's just say I'm a bit resilient against poison."

"If you say so."

Merle shrugged her shoulders as she went back to checking her little sister's body all over for any injuries of any sort despite the younger girl saying she was fine.

Evan on the other hand, turned his attention to the blue notification board that had been floating in front of his face for a while now.

'About time you showed your effects.'

|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered. |

|High Level Poison resistance has been acquired. |

|Variation in poison type required to acquire complete Poison Immunity. |

The newly acquired poison resistance was the reason he did not take the antidote and instead used it on Iolana.

He had already become highly resistant to the poison, as such, he did not see the need for an antidote anymore.

'Still gotta be careful though. After all, it's just resistance, not complete immunity.'

Evan warned himself as he took a look at his status board to admire his rapidly rising Level.

'I fought a bunch of level 90s, it'd be weirder if I didn't level up. The extra efficiency is very useful too.'
