Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil



The butcher was not sure what had happened to the witch.

He had cooperated with Clauria's inspection fully. But he could tell that Clauria was experiencing some kind of backlash after using a soul inspection Skill on his divine soul.

'I can't blame everything on luck and lack of knowledge as well. On second thought, letting her examine my soul was a bad idea. I… I should be careful from now on,' the butcher thought to himself and shook his head in disappointment.

'Mistakes are stepping stones to success as long as I'm willing and able to learn from them,' he consoled himself.

"Kill him! Kill him now," Clauria screamed and ordered her coven.

"He… he is not human. He… he can't be. There are Sin Series Marks on him. Many. many complex marks. Demonic runes. The kind of Marks I haven't seen or dealt with yet. He… Aaaaargh… he is all of seven Demon Princes combined into one. ALL OF THEM!

We need to kill him and capture his soul. He has what we were looking for. Aaaaargh! My head…. Kill him now."

It seemed that Clauria's backlash wasn't just physical. Her soul had also received some damage when she tried to peer into Eren's divine soul which had been marked with Sin Series Marks. The kind of Marks that one couldn't find on an ordinary demonic Ranker.

As a result of her probe on Eren;s soul, Clauria's own Soul Space had been hurt. She would have died on the spot if Eren's Spiritual Force had not been retracted.

"I told you guys this man is bad news. You wouldn't listen to me," Leesha got up from her position as she said looking at Eren. "We should have used him as a sacrifice for our ritual from the moment we laid our eyes on him," she said while taking out her staff from her personal storage facilitated by Menaka's Blessing.

The other five witches also stopped tending to Clauria and got up. The sixth witch who happened to be Clauria's lover stayed by her side, allowing the other witches to deal with Eren.

"You… need… rethink," Eren said to the witches and the demonic beings who seemed as if they were gearing up to launch their attacks on him all at once. "I did… no… do anything," he decided to put forward his case no matter how vain it might seem even to himself.

"Shut the fuck up. I am sick of listening to the way you butcher Labhi," Harleen spoke up, sharing the rage Leesha had towards Eren. The witches did not doubt what they were supposed to do anymore.

Clauria's orders were clear. She wanted to kill Eren and capture his soul. The capturing part of the soul could be dealt with later on as long as they managed to do the first step right.

As such, the witches were driven to kill Eren for more than one purpose. First, they wanted revenge for whatever he had done to Clauria. And secondly, they wanted to use his soul for their own purpose.

"Come then. What are you waiting for?"

Eren spoke in his own tongue and flashed a smile. He was sure that his new enemies would get what he wanted to say to them all the same even if they couldn't understand Anfang's native tongue.

This was because he had also summoned his punching daggers in both his hands. Diceros Left and Right– a pair of Katars he had been using for a very long time.

Of course, they had been turned into Hex Artifacts by this point.

Swoosh. Zoom. Boom.

"Raaa!"

[Skill: Incinerate]

[Skill: Shock Therapy]

[Skill: Demonic Wind Blades]

[Skill: Purple Ice Blood]

[Skill: Hundred Hands Attack]

A lot of Skills were unleashed on Eren at one go by the witches while maintaining their safe distance from Eren. At the same time, the demonic beings attacked Eren simultaneously, approaching him from every direction. They had sealed his way of escape with the way they approached him.

"Aaaargh!"

This time, it was Eren's turn to cry in agony. The sheer bombardment of multiple Skills was too much for him to handle. The worst thing about the Skill deployment was the fact that he could not sense their activation until the moment they acted on him. He could not track their trajectory the way he was used to doing with his enemies' spells. 

It was as if Skills were a natural phenomenon that appeared as a debuff on his body out of nowhere. Eren couldn't counter them using his means. He learned the hard way that only Skills could counter other Skills. This was the reason why the witches were so confident in taking him down even though he appeared stronger than them individually.

Eren's body was attacked from multiple directions at the same time. The demonic creatures found the opening they were looking for and launched their physical attacks on Eren with their multiple weapons.

When things started going downhill for Eren, his body was suddenly protected by a silmy substance that covered him from head to toe. It grew multiple arms and pushed the demonic beings aside. In the next moment, one of the arms extended outward and grabbed onto debris found in the city square before pulling Eren's body towards it.

Reen protected Eren just when things started looking too dire for him to handle all by himself. If she hadn't shown herself to protect him, he would have been gravely injured.

"Fuuuuuck!"

Eren cursed as he tried to shake off the debuff of the Skills he was still feeling. He could feel that the effects of the Skills had been reduced ever since Reen had shown herself, protecting his body. 

"I am going to fuck you up now,"

Eren's voice turned cold as he looked at his enemies with signs of anger on his face. In the next moment, he gripped onto his Katars before deploying his Sin Series Domains all at once.

Domain of Wrath.

Domain of Pride.

Domain of Gluttony.

Domain of Lust.

Domain of Greed.

Domain of Envy.

Domain of Sloth.
