Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

I released the Requiem sword and when I held the sword in my hand its sheath I had on ,y waist turned back to shadows and vanished away.

'Now time for buffing myself.'

The first thing I did was to activate [Foresight] and claimed the ability to see 0.1 seconds into the future. After that I stimulated the mana inside my body, and directed it toward my sword's blade.

"Magiken!" I said.

A ton of pressure was released from the blade and pitch black shadows covered the sword, enveloping the blade in darkness. I felt the power of magiken spreading into my body; even though I was knew I had gotten somewhat used to it.

The cloak I wore flickered back due to the air and I held the sword straight toward the beasts. I set my stance, in a way I could both counter the demons and be there to protect my parents.

"Lightning!" I said and pointed the sword at one of the beast.

A magic circle opened at the edge of my sword and a surge of lighting was blasted at the beast with a loud crackling sound. It hit the running beast right in the face and exploded, but the beast came out of the smoke totally unscathed.

'Knew it. Low tier spells aren't going work on them.'

I changed my strategy and shifted with the sword as main way to offense as I waited for the beast. They didn't make me wait for long.

One of them came at me from the front while the other one climbed on the walls on my right side.

I stepped forward and dashed in full speed, leaving a trail of air behind. I titled my sword to an angle as I leaped below its giant body and gushed open its chest with a clean cut while it tried to smack and rip me with its claws.

The [Foresight] told me the next upcoming attacks and I dodged them accordingly. While I may this, it wasn't exactly as easy as that.

Although I was able to see the future with my skill, these demons were so fast that if I was late to react for even the thousand part of a second, I would take the hit.

I was pushing my body to its limit.

Just as I ducked under a swing of the demon's arm I saw and opening. Quickly pushing myself in the air and dashing forth I lowered myself to the ground and sneaked right below the demon's body.

"Fuck you!" I said and used elemental magic.

I produced the most powerful flame's I've ever did. A tornado of fire rose around me and was blasted up in the air. In no time it covered the beast above me itself.

The fire was so strong and concentrated that instead of burning its skin, the flames acted like a blade and opened a wide hole in the center of its chest and penetrated through.

As soon as I was sure that the beast was dead I calmed the flames down to nonexistence—while they were powerful, I was also taking the damage even after standing in the center of the tornado.

The second I got out from under the dead beast's I looked for the other one. I wasn't coming for me, and that's why I was scared.

I turned and ran in the direction where my parent's stood and there I saw the beast closing in toward them.

"You fucking piece of shit!" my brows furrowed as anger and fear filled me at the same time.

The beast jumped to stomp on them. I used elemental magic again and a great wall of thick ice rose between my parents and the beast.

It crashed directly with the wall and was put off balance for a while. That was enough of a time.

"Thunder!" I said and pointed my sword toward the demon. A magic circle opened at the tip of my sword and below the demon's feet.

There was a loud rumbling of clouds and the next second lighting fell from the sky and onto the beast, burning and melting its skin.

'Thunder. This was the upgraded version of Lightning, I thought it might work. Seems like I was right.'

However the beast was not dead yet, and I knew this would happen. Using a spell like that was not the right way to kill it, after all. I had only meant to slow him down. And it did successful.

No time was wasted. Before the beast could recover I was already running toward it at my full speed.

I jumped in the air when I was a few meters away. Raising my sword up with its tip pointed downward I landed on the beast's back. Setting on feet on the two of its shoulders, I stabbed him in the back and dug the blade deep inside its body, right in the center of its chest.

I directed my mana toward the blade.

"[Dark Edge]" I said.

Its whole body shook as a pulse of dark light was transmitted through its body. I heard a slight crackling sound and the beast didn't move after that. A few moments later is body split apart in two parts from the middle and both the pieces fell on opposite sides.

I jumped out of its corpse and reached for my parents, they were safe.

[Releasing Dark Edge when the blade is already inside its body, that's a clever way to do it…and cruel.]

'Cruel? Showing mercy to these beasts will be the last thing I'll want to do.'

"Are you fine?" mother asked as I stood next to her.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

I was displaying my powers openly in front of them, and I feared that they might start to question me about it but they didn't. Perhaps they knew this was not the right time for things like that.

"I'm sorry, but I guess we have some visitors coming," father said, pointing toward the horizon of the road.

There were a hundred, no. Probably a thousand demon beasts running straight toward us. I looked up at the sky, the number of portals had increased.

'Well, this was bound to happen.'

I stood straight and strengthen myself to face the wave of death. I had my [Foresight] activated, the Requiem sword was on magiken, and I had my elemental magic. There were no excuses, I had to do this. I had to protect and get them out of here.

'Heh, talk about a thrilling experience.' I couldn't help but sweat in fear.
