Demon Lord's Reincarnation

The Chains were only able to delay him for a short moment but that was enough for a distraction as the tail that could wrap around the solar system swiped towards Erste who had no time to dodge.

So instead of dodging or defending Erste decided to attack. Erste pulled back his hand holding the blade and with a swift motion pierced forward. The forward pierce had accumulated a lot of power which was rupturing everything in its path.

This was one of the techniques he created to fight against the planet-sized Godsm which he named [Heaven Piercer].

The Dragon Tema\'s tail whip and Erste\'s [Heaven Piercer] collided with each other causing the dimension they were in to instantly break and they were now floating in the space in between dimensions. The confrontation between their attacks ended in a draw as neither was able to deal any damage to the other.

The two of them then arrived in another dimension where they both landed on a large piece of land.

"Sgnneebbuuccaasg."

Once the Dragon Tenma finished speaking Erste found that the gravity had increased pushing his entire body downward and destroying the ground beneath his feet. Despite the gravity had increased to a terrifying degree Erste continued to smile that vicious smile of his as he raised his soul sword upward pointing towards the heavens and swung downward.

This was Erste\'s technique [Godslayer] that releases a powerful energy at the opponent.

The technique was able to hit the Dragon Tenma but unlike the Gods that were hit by the same technique and died the scales of the Dragon Tenma were only slightly damaged. Seeing that his technique was ineffective didn\'t dampen Erste\'s spirit in fact it made him even more excited.

"HAHAHA!!! This is the best!"

Erste changed his stance as he once again took out a different sword that was on his waist and positioned it behind him. The reason he took out this sword instead of continuing to use the soul sword was because the next technique he was going to use needed a physical sword.

The sword in Erste\'s hand was enveloped by a bright light that extended outward creating a sword that was nearly as big as Tenma. This was Erste\'s new technique which he named [Star Breaker].

Erste swung his sword upward easily cleaving the ground he was standing on. It was a good thing that he was not standing on a planet with a core since his technique [Star Breaker] would easily slice the planet in half which would be bad.

Unlike [Godslayer] the Dragon Tenma actually felt some threat from this attack. As a Dragon, Tenma had a physique that could nullify most mana-based attacks, and even most physical attacks were useless against him, so he usually wouldn\'t bother defending or avoiding an attack but this time he felt he needed to do so.

"Eligne ve de levnim!"

Several layers of a crystal-like barrier surrounded the Dragon Tenma. This was a draconic spell of protection that could even affect causality. Under normal circumstances, this spell would make any attack miss the target. It\'s not because of any outside force it is because it\'s the fate of the attack itself or so the Dragons believe.

Tenma who believed that Erste\'s attack would deviate from its course was surprised to see that it did not do so.

If Erste and the Dragon had fought before Erste defeated his first Old God then this trick of Tenma\'s would\'ve worked, but now that Erste had surpassed Fate such a defense that relied on the effects of causality will no longer work on him.

Still, even if the effect of the spell was not able to achieve its desired effect the defensive qualities of this spell were still better than most spells. Erste who hit the crystal-like barrier stopped but then the attack was slowly cutting through.

"Nice, but I\'m not done yet!" Erste roared even louder as he released more of the energy that was hidden within him. The sword light sliced upward going through the crystal-like barrier, Tenma was then forced to evade the attack.

Even though his attack had missed and was sweating while panting a little, the vicious smile on Erste\'s face grew wider. Tenma who had evaded the strike felt his pride had been damaged so he roared angrily as he pounced at Erste.

Seeing the gigantic Dragon Tenma with its open maw pouncing at him Erste laughed heartily as he took out the mana-destroying sword in one hand and resummoned his soul sword in the other.

Tenma swiped his claws at Erste who blocked it with both his swords and then tried to push the claw away. While Erste was trying hard to push back Tenma gathered flames into his belly and expelled the flames at Erste.

Tenma knew that this was not enough to do anything to Erste so he stopped expelling the flames and as expected Erste was able to survive the flames. Since Erste can disrupt attacks of causality and his mana-destroying sword can slice through any spell, Tenma decided to do things the old way which was attacking physically.

Tenma used his tail claws and even his mouth to attack Erste who was so much smaller compared to him. It was as if a large planet was fighting against an ant. After several exchanges Erste was finally able to damage the scales of the Dragon, as he was about to continue his assault the voice of the Dragon echoed in his mind.

{You have proven your strength, I shall now listen to what you have to say.}

"You want to end this fight now?..."

Erste spoke looking at the Dragon confused. It took several seconds for Erste who was in a battle state to understand what was just said. There was a pause but in the end, despite hearing what the Dragon Tenma said Erste wanted to continue fighting but then Schlau spoke in the device that was placed inside of Erste\'s ears.

"Sir Erste, I heard that the Dragon wanted to stop fighting. I know you\'re thinking about continuing the fight but I hope that you\'ll be able to hold yourself back. If you do something that offends the other party we might not be able to get another chance."

Schlau and the others were watching the fight back in HQ. This was possible because of the two devices they gave to Erste. One was a communicator that was installed in Erste\'s ear, and the other was a camera installed in Erste\'s eyes. Both of these equipment were created using a combination of rune spells and technology.

The group had been watching Erste\'s interaction with the Dragon, and despite not hearing the Dragon\'s voice they could guess what was said by listening to Erste\'s responses.

Upon hearing what Schlau had to say he gnashed his teeth and after a while sighed. It took Erste more effort trying to stop himself from attacking than when he was actually battling the Dragon.

"Alright, then let\'s talk."
