Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Chapter 1806 Reloaded: Eren vs Nira P2
1806 Reloaded: Eren vs Nira P2
Barely two minutes had elapsed since Eren and Nira engaged in combat, each with distinct objectives in mind.
Nira aimed to capture Eren alive as a favor to Sansara Sage, while Eren fought to bring her down.
Their attacks vividly reflected their intentions; Nira's attempts were geared towards restraining Eren, while Eren's Skill executions sought to inflict serious harm if not outrightly kill her.
Fueled by berserking potential and intent-based magic, his attacks were potent enough to gravely injure an ordinary Sage Ranker in the Initial Stage.
Nira, however, was no pushover. Faced with Eren's relentless attempts to close the distance, she abandoned her bow and arrow combo, opting for a short sword in one hand and a mana gun in the other. Though unconventional, she managed to make this combination work, showcasing her adaptability.
Despite her Ranger Profession, she proved equally skilled in handling mana guns and short swords, a testament to the extensive experience she had gained over her long life as a Saint Ranker.
Nira utilized her mana gun for mid-range attacks and wielded her sword when Eren closed in. Taking the fight seriously, she ceased underestimating his attacks, recognizing the importance of capturing him alive.
When she fired her mana gun, it emitted no sound, releasing a barrage of wind-element bullets that left Eren's body riddled with holes and injuries.
Eren's berserker body fought to heal and close his wounds, countering the harm inflicted by Nira. Without robust armor and the support of berserking potions, he would have faced a severe health crisis at this point.
Nira found herself in a compromised state after an extended battle with Eren. His unpredictable attacks had caught her off guard, resulting in numerous serious injuries. Despite being a Grandmaster Ranker, Eren's potential and the lethality of his assaults were evident in his ability to harm her.
Recognizing the challenge, Nira realized that no other Grandmaster Ranker could match Lemaar's prowess. Even with three Grandmaster Rankers and seven Master Rankers among her subordinates, the chances of Lemaar surviving a concerted effort from all of them attacking together weren't negligible. To capture Eren alive, she needed to sacrifice some of her subordinates.
The ongoing conflict between Nira and Eren had transformed the battlefield into a desolate landscape, marked by flames, gusts of wind in the form of white balls, pits, rifts, and intense mana fluctuations.
They constantly shifted positions, utilizing the terrain to their advantage, engaging in ground and aerial combat with a symphony of clashing weapons and mana fluctuations that threatened the stability of the spatial fabric.
The sudden darkness in the sky signaled the clash between S-Ranked mana-fueled attacks and A-Ranked mana-powered Skills and Abilities. The Master Rankers risked severe injury just being in the proximity of these powerful clashes.
Realizing the difficulty of capturing Eren alive, Nira decided to unleash her most lethal attacks within three minutes of continuous confrontation. Despite her Sage Ranker status and the support of her subordinates, capturing Eren alive seemed nearly impossible.
Observing her intensified assault, Eren prepared for the impending battle by injecting berserking potions hidden in his arm bracers for the second time. These potions, along with custom-made Hex arm bracers, were provided by Eren to Lemaar, who had never used them, opting for a cautious approach as Eren's pseudo-avatar.
Eren, originally a Berserker in his first timeline, had perfected the berserking potions to suit his and his pseudo- avatar's needs based on his potion-making experiences. Additionally, he inherited Ivor Ironside's legacy from Sansara World 1.0. Consequently, the explosiveness and ferocity displayed by Eren as a Berserker far surpassed what Lemaar could manifest on his own.
Swoosh. Zoom. Miss.
Eren manipulated Lemaar's spear as if it were his own. Utilizing the Unlimited Weapon Works Skill, he accelerated, halted, rotated, attacked, pulled back, and operated his weapon stances with even greater speed and efficiency than before. Despite having fewer Skills due to being in a pseudo- avatar's body, he compensated with increased effectiveness in Intent-based magic and weapon-handling ability.
Clang. Clang. Clang.
Eren deflected the mana bullets coming his way. He then used Nira's incoming Wind Blades as a platform, and his own spear as a launching baton, to throw himself towards Nira. Coating his entire body with fire-element mana, he spun around mid-air with unbelievable momentum and precision as he headed toward a stressed-looking Nira like a meteor.
"Don't get too cocky, brat," Nira screamed as she prepared, pointed her mana gun at Eren, and brandished her sword in front of her in defense at the same time. She believed that Eren had finally given her a window of opportunity to land a decent attack on him.
However, before she could react to Eren's incoming attack, a cluster of Agni Chains sprouted from the ground and latched onto her limbs. It did not help that she was flying too close to the ground in order to attack Eren better.
It was as if Eren wanted her to be in the position so he could lock her in position at the expense of exposing a flaw in his battle style.
'This scheming bastard… When did he plant these? And wait a minute. These chains… This is Wrath Mana. He… he is the wielder of the Seven Sins Marks!'
Nira realized too late that Eren had made use of the trump card to lock Nira in his position. These Wrath chains mixed with fire-element mana were planted by him all over the battleground in a dormant form as he fought with Nira.
These chains weren't enough to kill Nira or harm her directly. However, upon tactical use, they could provide Eren with an opportunity to land a brutal attack on the Sage.
Furthermore, all seven of Eren's pseudo-avatars could bear one Sin Series Mark each. Eren had thus diversified his perma-clones by providing them with differing Sin Series Marks according to their needs. As such, Lemaar had been marked with Sin of Wrath to better match his Berserker Profession.
Eren's seven clones therefore presented all seven Professions and seven Sin Series Marks separately. It allowed his pseudo-avatars to access a form of Intent-based magic they had never used before.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
When she concluded that she wouldn't be able to get away from Eren's attacks on time, Nira decided to make use of the genuine flaw Eren had shown to trap her as leverage and attacked him without holding back. Eren's body was riddled with potent S-Rank mana bullets. However, he didn't let Nira's attacks stop him from attacking her.
Swoosh. Zoom. Pichuk.
Eren attacked from a weird angle. He headed towards the ground before jumping back in the air in Nira's direction. Using Unlimited Weapon Works, he managed to accelerate his spear to such an extent that Nira couldn't do anything about it. His Weapon Intent managed to breach through her Natural Mana Defense.
Eren's spear impaled Nira's right thigh before being pushed upward. It impaled her pelvic girdle and poked through the waist, almost skewering Nira as if she were a kebab. The butcher didn't stop there. He injected his Wrath Mana into the weapon mixed it with his Weapon Intent and activated forbidden runes planted within it to burst the weapon when it was lodged inside Nira's body.
The weapon imploded, and Nira's lower part of the body was burnt away. Her posterior muscles blasted off, exposing her butterfly-shaped sacrum bones of both legs. "You… vile brat!"
Nira screamed at Eren, her eyes bloodshot with the humiliation of being attacked in such a manner.
"You… you will not get away with this," she gritted her teeth before turning her gaze towards her subordinates, coldness and hate seeping through her gaze.
"What the fuck are you waiting for? Kill him. He is already half dead."
Eren's form was bloody and battered as he looked up at Nira from his lowered position. He jumped upwards, coming face to face with his opponents, and presented her with a bloody smile full of viciousness.
