Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

"What the fuck are you waiting for? Kill him. He is already half dead."

Nira's loud command struck her subordinates like a heavyweight hammer pounding on their heads.

They all looked at each other with absent expressions before finally deciding to take action.

They could have never thought that a Grandmaster who had been grievously injured before the start of his battle with Nira would be able to put up such a fight.

Some of the subordinates had exchanged blows with Lemaar before. As such, they felt that the person who fought with Nira was a completely different beast than the Lemaar they had confronted.

As the subordinates started closing in on Nira, she looked at Eren with hateful expressions. She had landed on the ground and refused to crash helplessly in front of her Grandmaster-ranked enemy who had injured her.

Her S-Ranked alchemy body tried to heal the grievous injuries she had suffered because of Eren's vicious attacks. However, the injuries Eren had inflicted on her were too severe. They couldn't be healed easily on the spot.

"Just you wait. Even if you die because of your injuries, we will come to know about you eventually. We will go after your family and friends and make your carcass spill all the secrets you have," Nira spoke venomous words as she looked at Eren's form, which was in an even more precarious condition than hers.

'Got him,' she thought to herself.

It would only take a few seconds for Nira's subordinates to reach Eren's position. As such, Eren knew that his escape was sealed. However, escape was not on his agenda in the first place.

Eren didn't try to run away or fight with the incoming enemies anymore. He just let them approach him as he started taking haggard breaths, his bloody eyes scanning his surroundings with a cold look.

Nira's subordinates landed only a few meters away from him, approaching slowly so as not to prevent any mishap. Nira breathed a sigh of relief when her subordinates managed to create a close circle around Eren.

Nira was about to take a breath of relief when she saw that Eren's way had been sealed and that escape was impossible. She had to say that Lemaar was the first Grandmaster Ranker who had caused her such trouble. The only time she had struggled so much in the battle was when she was in Anfang and was still long away from breaking into the Sage Rank.

The Saint Rank archer had meant it when she said that she would be able to find key points about him even if he were to die because of his injuries. As a demonic Ranker herself, she had various tools and skills available at her disposal that she could use to find out the secret related to Lemaar's strange soul.

"Kekeke," Eren's cackle sounded in the surroundings after he made sure that all of Nira's subordinates had been summoned around him. His Individuality soared all of a sudden, his aura intensified, and his vicious and evil nature seeped into his laughter, causing those who heard it to have goosebumps on their skin for some reason.

It was not that Eren's deteriorating form or his injuries were getting better. However, for some reason, they all subconsciously sensed a mortal threat coming from him.

"You said you will not let me go, right?" Eren looked at Nira before asking her. "To tell you the truth, I'm not planning to," Eren said before using his last vestiges of mana to use a movement-type skill once again.

Eren's right eye had already been damaged because of his using Unique Skill: Unreal Reflection while he was possessing Lemaar's body. Although the Unique Skill was bound to his soul and Soul Imprint by default, the fact remained that it was not his original body. As such, Lemaar's right eye which had been used to activate the Unique Skill was oozing blood and had almost lost its vision.

As such, Eren used the only fully functional left eye of Lemaar to cast his skill again. His target this time was Nira's subordinates.

Sedating Gaze + Spiritual Attack

Nira's subordinates were alerted. Their consciousness had been affected by Eren's Individuality, so they all were a little slow to respond to Eren's moves. Most importantly, Eren was not trying to break away from the siege but was instead trying to approach Nira.

"Hmph! I still have the strength to beat you into a pulp," Nira looked at Eren's approaching figure before aiming at him with her mana gun.

Eren didn't try to dodge, and as such, her mana bullet landed on his chin and pierced through the back of his neck. The force of the mana bullet was such that it broke Lemaar's jawbone, making him open his bloody mouth unnaturally.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Nira shot multiple mana bullets. Some of them were spirit bullets, the same kind Renita had managed to shoot after her Soul Sense Awakening. However, Eren ignored all of the incoming injuries that kept piling on his already battered body.

Nira couldn't get away from Eren because of the Wrath-mana-

infused Agni Chains still shackling her limbs. She also realized that Eren's ocular Skill and his Spiritual Attack had put her subordinates in a compromising situation.

However, she didn't panic and decided to deal with Eren using her own two hands. At this point, she realized that Eren was like a flickering flame trying to survive in the wild. The fight was futile, and he was soon about to succumb to his injuries.

Swoosh.

Nira cut Eren's arm which was still holding the damaged spear that had lost its blade. The arm fell to the ground. But Eren didn't care. He managed to get a breath of hair's distance away from her before wrapping his remaining arm around her brutally damaged waist. He held onto the exposed hip bones, dripping with blood and alchemy materials, before pulling her closer to him.

"You have chosen a worthy enemy, Nira Nightshade. Congratulations," Eren whispered in Nira's ears with a broken jaw and a mouth that kept on spilling blood.

However, what caught Nira off guard was the fact that Lemaar had spoken those words in Anfang's native language.

Before Nira or anyone could anticipate what Eren's next move would be, Eren activated forbidden runes circling his mana core and detonated himself.

This was a fail-safe measure Eren had implanted in every one of his pseudo-avatars. He had made all of them into fully functional suicide bombers.

AN: Eren used the suicide bomber mechanism in chapters 868 and 1393.
