Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 462 - To Battle A Deity

Ren infused his mana into the spears and with his total control made the spears levitate beside him. Ren then quickly pushed the spears forward making them dart towards the Goddess of Light. The speed of the spears were five times faster than the speed of sound.

The Goddess of Light looked at the incoming spears with disdain, and the moment they were about to hit her, the spears phased through her body. In the eyes of others, the Goddess of Light didn\'t move as the spears simply went through her body, on the other hand, Ren saw something different. The Goddess of Light moved so fast that she was able to dodge the spears with minimum movement and quickly returned to her original spot. She moved so fast that her dodging looked like she was just standing there.

Ren couldn\'t help himself as the smile on his face grew wider. Ren used his mana control to make the spears that went past the Goddess of Light come back, while he charged forward. Ren alongside the floating spears attacked the Goddess of Light. Ren didn\'t give the Goddess of Light any leeway as he attacked in all directions. Yet the same as before the Goddess of Light evaded each strike with the same minimal movement.

"Hmph, can\'t you see that kind of attack won\'t even hit me?"

"Is that so?"

When the Goddess of Light heard Ren\'s reply, she finally noticed that her cheek had a little cut on it. She was truly surprised to see that she got damaged. Even without dodging, there were only a few types of mortal weapons that could harm her, the only reason she was dodging now was to show Ren the disparity between them. Yet now that she saw that Ren\'s weapons could actually harm her she felt a little relieved that she was dodging those strikes.

"Heh, so even deities bleed."

When the Goddess of Light heard what Ren said she grew even more infuriated. As Ren was about to begin his assault again, the Goddess of Light lifted her hands and pointed at mirrors on the walls. A burst of light came flying out of her fingers hitting the nearby mirrors. The light then bounced from mirror to mirror creating a web of light that disintegrated the floating spears.

It was a good thing that Ren was able to guess beforehand why there were mirrors on the walls, in a room that had nothing but decorations that could show one\'s reflection. The moment Ren saw that burst of light he quickly summoned numerous shields from his shadow which covered him, and he did the same for Lara and the others who were at the corner of the room.

The power of that one burst of light almost broke his shields. Just two more strikes like that and Ren\'s stock of shields would be depleted. So before the Goddess of Light could make her next move, Ren quickly summoned several dozens of weapons which he immediately threw at all the mirrors and decorative pieces in the room.

"Hmph, so you\'re not just a brute, you can actually use your head. Still, that won\'t be enough to defeat me."

After she said those words the Goddess of Light\'s hands started to blur as several bursts of light came flying towards Ren. Despite the attacks being literally as fast as light, Ren was able to dodge every single beam. As he was about ready to counterattack, Ren suddenly lost his sight. Still, even without his sight, Ren could sense the area around him. As he was confused as to what happened he heard the Goddess of Light\'s voice.

"Do you understand now? Unlike your title Strongest Mortal Soul, the title of Goddess of Light isn\'t just for show. As a world deity, I have the power of law on my side, as I can control this world\'s light. For as long as you\'re a being that exists in this world, I can plunge you into the darkness. This is the end for you, well it\'s not like I expected you to do any better. Still, even though you\'re about to die now, you should be proud that you were able to wound me."

The Goddess of Light then fired multiple bursts of light towards Ren. She was expecting Ren to die with that assault, but to her surprise even without being able to see Ren was able to dodge all the beams of light. The Goddess of Light then continued her assault but Ren was still able to dodge. After a while, the Goddess of Light who was unable to hit Ren returned the light of his eyes.

That ability of hers that takes one\'s light uses too much divine power and since it wasn\'t working the way she wanted it to, she deactivated it.

Ren who was able to see again smiled. After those exchanges, it would seem that the two were at a stalemate. Ren and the Goddess of Light were having difficulty hitting each other, and it would seem that they were evenly matched to those who were watching.

Yet the truth was Ren was on the losing side. In that brief exchange between him and the Goddess of Light, Ren could already guess how the battle was going to end. Even with his spiritual energy and his physical body getting stronger every second, Ren knew that with his current abilities the Goddess of Light wasn\'t someone he could defeat using such half-ass means.

Ren then looked at Lara and did some cryptic hand signals. When Lara saw Ren\'s hand signals she nodded her head. Seeing Lara\'s response Ren looked at the Goddess of Light while gathering all the mana he had. He even used his Spirit Aura to the very limit of what he can produce.

"As expected of a deity, you\'re harder to deal with than I thought. Still, even you would get hurt if you\'re hit by this…" Ren gathered everything he currently had and circulated it into his entire body.
