Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1638 Bisha's Predicament

'Keke. I don't have to keep on maintaining new Hex Artifact sets for myself anymore.'

Eren thought to himself as he looked at Reen's progress.

Earlier, Eren had plans to construct separate Hex artifact sets that would suit his Ranking Classes and battle styles. The Dragonoid artifact set was just the first invention that he had managed to tick off his to-do list. Many projects needed his attention.

Eren was worried about donning these sets in succession after he managed to craft them for himself. After all, the emotional and mental turmoil they would cause after donning them wouldn't be something he could easily shake off of him.

However, with Reen added into the equation, the butcher did not have to worry about donning these artifact sets or using them for prolonged periods. He could alter between these sets at the flick of his fingers and the change wouldn't negatively impact his battles in any way.

Eren had decided. He would either keep on creating new artifact sets for himself. Or he would find existing HEX artifact sets in otherworlds before feeding them to Reen. This was the best course of action to increase his powers while supporting Reen's growth.

'Feeling and intents are important in casting the immortal magic,' Eren thought to himself as he watched Reen tame one Hex artifact spirit after the other.

'At the time of creating Asura, I was focused on creating an artifact that would allow me to wield my Sin Series Mana with better efficiency without casting the required domains. This was why Asura turned out that way.

In Reen's case, I thought of creating an Elder Seed Artifact that would grow with me. An artifact spirit that would be as free to forge her path ahead as me. This is why Reen turned out the way she has now.

I wonder what would happen if I wielded my divinity while creating Hex Artifacts? Will they produce high-caliber artifacts or high-tier artifact spirits? Will Reen be able to tame them in that case? And will such artifacts allow her to progress at a rapid rate?

Hmm. Her growth is not my only concern. I also have to ensure that she keeps her identity intact as she keeps on devouring more artifact spirits.

I wouldn't get affected after using the Hex Artifact sets through Reen. but it doesn't mean that they also wouldn't affect her in the long run.

We need to find a balance. I'll probably need more Hex artifact sets for that. Too bad the world of Anfang doesn't have very many Hexes for us to experiment on.'

Eren pondered in his head as he looked at Reen intently.

He had to think about Reen's path well in advance. This was because she did not have a mana core anymore. She could only galvanize the surrounding mana around her or use his mana to power her abilities. This was a form of blessing and curse for the current Reen.

Since Reen didn't have a traditional mana core within her, she did not have to think about her Ranking Path anymore. She didn't have to act like a demon beast and keep on devouring beasts and humanoids to support her growth. This was a blessing.

However, Reen had lost her right to make use of the Elemental Attainments traditionally because of the lack of the mana core. A lot of her elemental abilities had been restricted because she wasn't used to casting them by galvanizing the surrounding mana. This was her curse.

Thus, Eren needed to plan Reen's growth in such a way that it wouldn't restrict her later down the line. All while ensuring that Reen's psyche stayed the same while unlocking new abilities for herself.

Bisha slowly opened her eyes in her confined room. She felt as if she had a massive headache.

"That bastard. When… will my suffering end? Haaah!"

The Oni woman cursed as she got up from her bed. She massaged her forehead with her right hand as she walked towards the spacious balcony to which her prison-like room was attached with.

Bisha leaned on the deck as she looked at the expanse of the farm lands in front of her from her multi-story high position. She felt like escaping to the distant corner of the world to escape from this prison.

However, the runic shackles on her body didn't allow her to step a foot outside her room. If she tried, she would have to face serious consequences in vain. She had learned this fact the hard way after trying many times.

Bisha had been a prisoner inside this lavish private chamber for the last nine months. She had to say that she had chosen a pretty nasty time to get inside Anfang through the Immortal Plane she had access to.

Bisha was caught by the monsters of the Oni dungeon as soon as she arrived. She was then later handed to Agatha by the monsters as a gift from Eren's monster army.

Agatha had managed to get Bisha to cooperate with the White Raven Guild as soon as the latter's custody was handed to her. As a gesture of goodwill, Agatha had then allowed Bisha to stay inside this lavish chamber to spend her days in peace. For the most part that is.

Bisha's biggest headache was Eren, literally and metaphorically speaking. He had indeed visited her a few times to interrogate her. However, he didn't ask her any questions. He didn't have to.

The butcher would just use his bloodline Ability Memory Extraction on Bisha, learning more about the Continent of Echidna with each of his visits to her. And in the process, he would give her headaches and occasional blackouts. She wondered if the man had also devoured some of her memories for good.

Just as Agatha had warned her, Bisha found out the hard way that Eren was no ordinary Elder Seed inheritor. She had to say that the Land of the Faithless had produced a fearsome contender for God Aleph's potential inheritor.

Of course, she didn't know about the fact that Eren had already managed to claim Aleph's throne for himself.
