Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil
chapter-1170

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

This time it was the entire left arm. Reva Rain felt the pain she inflicted on her victims. And it could be said that she was not looking forward to experiencing that herself.

Reva Rain's Ability also worked on Eren this time. His body looked like it was suffering from famine. His cheekbones showed and his arms and legs turned into twigs. His skin had turned yellow as if he was suffering from a severe illness. Plus, his expression would tell onlookers that his body was riddled with various problems.

The butcher had to shake off Reverse Rain's effects on him. Reva Rain used that time to escape him. It could be said that she traded her arm to run away from the butcher.

'That was so satisfying… listening to her screams. I want to hear more. I need to fucking torture her more. Wish I could get room to spend some "quality" time with her by myself.'

Eren looked at the escaping Reva Rain and sighed in nostalgia. As he circulated mana through his mana circuits, he cured himself of Reva's debuff. In the next moment, purple lightning streaks surrounded him before he disappeared from his place.

"DEMONMIR!... HELP ME DAMN IT!"

Reva found out Eren was after her. Unfortunately for her, nobody came forward to support her or stop Eren while they ran through the arena. It was as if everybody had agreed that they shouldn't interfere in the big league games.

***

Demonmir cursed Reva Rain for being so helpless against Eren. He wasn't doing too well against the three female rankers either. He thought he could kill Nina without breaking a sweat. However, the Master ranker healer was as shrewd as Eren, if not more.

Demonmir's biggest headache was Levine de Montmorency. She fought with him to avenge her father. Now that he had defected to the enemy kingdom, she had all the legal grounds to punish him for killing his father and so many other members of her clan.

Magic happens when one does things with conviction.

Levine's preparations finally came to fruition on this day. And despite various injuries, she smiled fighting Demonmir. She even had that crazed look in her eyes as she used collateral moves to hurt him. It could be said that she was so angry at Demonmir that her anger made her smile.

Of course, Levine couldn't be so daring if Nina wasn't supported her. The Master ranker healer used her Nirvana array, using Demonmir's vitality to heal Jiana Jihang and Levine de Montmorency every chance she got. As a result, Demonmir kept weakening the more he fought with the trio of rankers.

Demonmir realized that things were not as simple as they looked in the background reports. No amount of information about female rankers could prepare him for their flawless teamwork. This was something he discovered only after fighting with the trio.

One could say that desperation was needed to find rhythm in what they did.

Of course, Demonmir had a lot of Trump cards he could use against the trio. However, using them here would mean he couldn't utilize them when the third force entered the battlefield.

Demonmir was not attacked on the battlefield because Gregory watched over him. Despite being only verbal, the protection of a Sage held some meaning. That's why nobody wanted to apprehend Demonmir without neutralizing Gregory Grant first.

However, things would get complicated for Demonmir if the third force didn't show up on time and Gregory got beaten by Hansen. The two Sages were still fighting in the aerial space high above the Edinnica arena.

Their battle affected the high-altitude atmosphere, creating various elemental mana storms. Only other Sages would dare to navigate aerial space through these mana storms.

In short, Demonmir would be targeted by Edinburgh forces as soon as Gregory is defeated or the Sage calls it quits on him. That's why Demonmir was not willing to use his Trump Cards in vain.

Demonmir cursed Eren in his head when he found out Eren had used his trick to get to him. And the most awful part about the trick was the fact that he couldn't just let Reva Rain die even if he knew it was a trick.

Lightning-charged winds surrounded Demonmir like a typhoon before he disappeared from his position. He abandoned targeting Nina and others because his critical pawn was about to get diced by the butcher for all the organs she was worth.

Blitz. Clash. Clang.

Eren was thrown into the air when Demonmir attacked him brutally. Ottoman had come in between Reva and Eren just when he was about to harvest another body part.

Of course, Eren saved Reva Rain's organs in his storage. So that he could devour them and gain attainments from them. After all, waste not, want not.

A hive of lightning, wind, and fire shards were created behind the airborne Eren before converting into wings. He had leveled up the wind-fire wings, thanks to the compound elemental fusion he had unlocked for himself.

Swoosh.

Eren altered his trajectory by flapping elemental wings. He used built-up momentum to glide through the winds before changing his direction. The butcher stabilized his flight and remained airborne, looking down at Demonmir with a smile on his face. A smile that was full of ridicule.

"Hmm? Whatever happened to teaching me a lesson? You are here. I'm here. Let's see how many lessons you have in store for me.

I hope it's not a lesson about talking big. I'll let you master that art form."

Demonmir looked up and stared at Eren with hatred in his eyes. This was the first time the Prince of Wrath in him subconsciously felt he was not the rightful owner of the wrath domain. That's because he felt like he was not in control of the anger blooming in his heart.

Demonmir then turned around and looked at Reva Rain with a displeased expression. As if she was the reason behind everything that was going wrong with his plan to deal with Eren.
