Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

Three beasts charged toward us at once, two came for me but the other one flanked from my side and headed from where my parent's stood.

I took on the two in front of me with the Requiem sword, both of them brought their claws down but I intercepted them with the blade.

At the same time I used elemental magic and created a protective wall around my parents; I covered it from the top while invoking spikes on the outer side of the walls, and I made it thick enough so no demon beast could break it easily.

Not until I was done with the other two, at least.

Two big and bulky beast's released the weight of their bodies as they pushed me back with their claws pressed against the blade of my sword. I was forced back, my feet slid backward, but I didn't let go of the stance.

Frost started to pile around the feet of the beast's as I used elemental magic and made movement difficult for them. They noticed this and started to jerk their bodies violently.

"[Dark Edge]," I said.

An arc of pitch black light was blasted off the sword's blade and straight toward the demons.

Though since they were moving their hands frequently it didn't connect where I'd intended but it was not a complete waste either as the right arm of one of the beast's was cut apart.

'The one that'd went for my parents will attack me from the back. A powerful swipe of hand aimed for my chest.'

I was using [Foresight] without stopping, thus predicting the attacks was a little easier. Although not as much as I had expected because the demon beast's were fast, so fast that even the delay of millisecond could get me killed.

My body was hardly keeping up.

I jumped up and the beast's bulky hand whipped the air where I stood a moment ago. I performed a back flip in the air and landed on the beast's shoulder. Without a second's delay I buried the sword deep in the back of its neck.

"Dark Edge."

A black flashed edged out from within the demon's body and I heard a faint crackling sound, soon the bulky beast was divided into two. Before its body could fall to the ground I pressed my knees down and then kicked off, launching myself up in the air.

Spinning in a full three-sixty-degree circle I swung my sword as I came down on the other side and decapitated the beast that was still within the grasp of my ice.

Its head went spinning in another direction and I landed behind the demon. I stopped to take a breath—be as it may, I was not much of a athletic. And that's where I made a mistake.

The [Foresight] skill showed me the events happening in the next 0.1 seconds, but I wasn't fast enough to respond.

A log of flesh connected to the side of my stomach, the impact was so powerful and hard that I could feel the cracking of my ribs. I was able to see from the corner of my eye, and it was not a "log of flesh". But the arm of the demon I'd decapitated.

'Well, of course it's still alive. I haven't destroyed its core yet,' I thought as I was flung back in the air at an intense speed.

I flew for a few seconds and then crashed onto the ground, rolling on the grass and dirt I managed to stop myself soon but not quickly. I'd gained quite a lot of damage. My ribs were broken, that's for sure.

Still, I pulled myself up ignoring all the pain and the first thing I did was to increase the thickness of the wall around my parents. Now that I was at a distance, I couldn't comprise on their safety.

Although both of the remaining beast's had freed themselves from my ice and were running toward me. But still, I couldn't take any risks about their safety.

I gripped my sword tightly and took a step forward and prepared to run, but before I could dash forth a painful stinging sensation spread in my head.

"Ahhh!" I couldn't help but groan, even though that was something I didn't do often. I held my head and smacked it a couple of time in hope of getting rid of the pain.

Though nothing happened, the pain was still here. No, that's not quite right. The pain had been there for a while now, and it was I was constantly using [Foresight] for over an hour now. I was using it without stopping, despite it being an active skill I was using it on 'always on' like a passive one.

Along with that I was continuously using my magiken and elemental magic for the same amount of time. After all, only because of doing this had I been able to get my parents out of the Roswell city.

We were outside the walls of the city and in the grassy plains and grounds. But doing that had cost me dearly.

Now the pain was spreading from my head and to my eyes as well; I felt as if someone was crushing my head and my eyes would pop out soon.

Unfortunately, I did not have to the luxury to worry about that. The two beasts had already closed the distance.

I jerked my head left and right and tried to ignore the pain. Dashing toward the demon's I engaged in a combat. However, this pain had started to affect my accuracy.

When I was fending off against the demon whom's head I'd cut off, the other one came behind me and stood on two feet.

It brought forth its hand and held me within its grasp, the one in front also came and stood just a feet away from me and began to prepare for a final blow.

I could've freed myself from the demon's grasp but chopping off its hand but…

'Actually, this is not as bad,' I thought and raised my sword straight toward the sky and closed my eyes.

"Wrath Of the Sky. Resistance III."

I said and opened my eyes. Two magic circle with different runes appeared before the tip of my sword.
