Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Even as Jack and the others were watching it with their own eyes they could not believe it. Erste who only recently acquired mana was able to not only use it so efficiently but was able to use a complicated technique like Mana Coating, even though it isn't as complicated as Mana Coating he was also able to use Mana Emission. Those two techniques might be the basic skills of an advanced warrior but it took them years to even do the basic Mana Emission and Erste did it in a glance.

As the one who was facing Erste, Allan felt like sh*t. This was supposed to be a match where he would show the newbie the harshness of this world, but it turns out he was the one who's being shown the harshness of the world. 

There have been many so-called geniuses that came and joined the rebellion. Many of those so-called geniuses thought they were the chosen ones able to defeat the Gods and free the helpless humans, unfortunately, they weren't. 

Those so-called geniuses either die on the battlefield, supposedly after a glorious sacrifice or they would lose and never recover from that loss. Yet today Allan and all those present had seen a genius like no other, in just a couple of moves they felt like they had never seen a genius like Erste. 

...

"Come show me more!" 

Erste smiled so happily as his excitement rose. In the beginning, he was simply planning to have a little exercise also he wanted to see what kind of facilities they had for sparring, after which he wanted to know if anyone had seen Elena, also he wanted to ask more questions about the new leader of the rebellion. 

There were so many thoughts swirling in his mind before the match and even during the match, but all of those messy thoughts were blown away as the match progressed. Now all Erste had in his mind was to fight more, to see more techniques, to feel even more excitement. 

Erste had a vicious smile on his face as he got ready to strike at Allan, but then to his surprise, Allan's offensive stopped. When Erste saw the look on Allan's face it was a look that he would never forget even across all of his reincarnations. Allan raised his hand and spoke the words Erste never wanted to hear. 

"I surrender." 

"Huh?" It was only Erste who was surprised by what Allan said but everyone else could understand why Allan surrendered. 

"Why did you surrender?! I don't accept it! I can't accept it! Fight me more, show me more, make me feel even more excited!" 

Nikki, Tala, and Miguel were quite shocked when they saw Erste's outburst. This was the first time they have seen this side of Erste, he was like a child throwing a tantrum. 

"I'm sorry I can't continue." 

"WHY?!" 

When Allan saw the screaming Erste who was full of anger he could not help but sigh. Erste might have been the most incredible genius they have ever seen but it seems that he still has a bit of immaturity in him. 

"I can't win, so I surrendered." 

"That's unacceptable! In a fight, until it's over nobody can tell who the winner is or who the loser is so continue! Fight me, and let's determine who the winner and the loser is!" 

Seeing Erste being so adamant about the entire thing Allan once again sighed as he raised his hands into the air. 

"I already said that I surrender, I lose." 

"And I said that I don't accept that!"

The ground where Erste was standing started to crack as an even more powerful force erupted from Erste's body. Jack and the others protected Nikki, Tala, and Miguel as that simple burst of power could potentially harm the three that didn't have any mana in their body. Allan's two companions were also getting ready to intervene if Erste did anything excessive, while Allan himself continued to raise his arms. 

Erste gnashed his teeth and suddenly disappeared from everyone's view. No one was able to follow Erste's speed as he was already in front of Allan just an arm's length away. Allan's companions were not even able to react as Erste's fist was about to hit Allan's face. 

Allan did not move a single inch as he stared at the incoming fist without even blinking. Even with the mana shield and the defensive power of Allan's body Erste's fist was too powerful to block. If Allan does not dodge his head would most likely explode from the force, yet despite slowing down his attack Erste saw that Allan had no intention to evade.

Before Erste's fist was about to touch Allan's face it stopped, not only did Erste's fist stop but all the force released dissipated showing the degree of control Erste had. It had only been a few hours since he gained mana but the exquisite control he showed was unbelievable. Seeing this just made Allan fully accept his loss even more than before. 

"DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! Who else wants to fight come I'll take you all on!"

Erste shifted his attention to others who were watching the battle, but they responded by shaking their heads. Seeing this just made Erste feel even more frustrated. 

"Hey, you said to meet your leader I needed to make that person notice me, so all I need to do is kill more of those so-called New Gods, right? Alright then, show me were I need to go I'll battle those New Gods now!" 

"It's not that simple, first you and your friends need to do some basic check-ups, and then you have to be registered into the hunting group. After that there's a basic training course, then you'll form a team with two others, then and only then will you be able to go do missions and raise your reputation." 

Hearing Jack's explanation just made Erste feel even more frustrated. Seeing that Erste was about to explode from rage, Jack told him something to calm him down. 

"If you want there's also a place where you can release your frustrations by destroying a few training dummies." 

"Show me where."

Jack guided Erste and his friends out of the room. Once Erste's presence was no longer there Allan fell to the ground sweating profusely as he was breathing erratically. Despite not being hit by that last attack the pressure was incredible, that it took Allan's entire willpower simply to stop himself from fainting.
