Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil
chapter-1650

Eren turned into a towering giant within a blink of an eye.

He stepped forward and caused a mini earthquake that the Sages and other Rankers surrounding him could feel in their bones.

Reen was with Eren.

She chose not to show herself because she didn't think she needed to confront the Sages personally.

However, she transformed herself into an Elder Seed armor and allowed Eren to become a dragonoid as well. All without Eren having to say anything to her.

Roar!

Eren screamed at Sage Zavir and Hansen, which was turned into a draconic roar thanks to the dragnoid armor. The roar was so intense that it caused some Master Rankers in the far back to lose consciousness just by being in the vicinity.

The Grandmasters struggled to stop their legs from shaking. And even Sages had expressions of worry and fear etched across their faces as they looked at Eren.

'So our assumptions were right. He was the one who subdued the Witch of the Enderflames.'

Sage Zavir gulped empty air as he looked at Eren's dreadful dual transformation. He knew that Eren was trying to intimidate them. However, it didn't stop him from having goosebumps on his skin.

When Sage Zavir blinked again, Eren had returned back to his normal form. The whole transformation was so surreal to Zavir and the rest that they had to look at each other's face to verify the fact that it actually happened.

'Damn it. This transformation forces me to go naked in front of my opponents,' Eren cursed the Titan transformation as soon as he returned to his normal form. 'Thanks for covering for me, Reen,' he said to his ex-demon beast companion turned Elder Seed Artifact spirit.

'Hehe. don't mention it.'

Reen responded in Eren's mind. She chuckled after imagining how things would have turned out for Eren if he had held diplomatic talks with Zavir while being buck naked.

Eren snapped his fingers and a set of clothes appeared under his artifact set. Only then did he ask Reen to retract herself.

"What do you have to say about now?"

Eren asked as he looked at Zavir and others with eyes that said "try me."

"How… How did you turn into a Titan? Are you originally from Allansia?"

A Sage asked Eren with a serious face. However, the subtle shake in his voice let Eren know how much internal turmoil he was facing at the time.

"Was it you who defeated the Witch of the Enderflames?"

Another lady Sage asked while looking at Eren warily. They had heard that a Titan had defeated Eliza Samael after everyone was gone from the battlefield. Of course, nobody could actually confirm after the events unfolded during the Great Shattering.

Eren smiled at the lady Sage. 'Now that's a good Sage bod. Truly S-Rank,' Eren said to himself as he stared at her contours from afar.

"What do you have to say about now, Sage Zavir?"

Eren did not answer the questions thrown at him by the remaining Sages. Instead, he decided to strike a conversation with Zavir who was clearly the leader of the Sage gang and the other Rankers present at the scene.

"You… are you from Allansia?"

Sage Zavir asked Eren in a serious voice. If Eren was indeed from Allansia, there was no use trying to pressure him into striking deals with them. There was no use trying to bargain for ranking resources. Sage Zavir would have told all the Sage Rankers to launch an attack on Eren directly without worrying about the consequences.

This was because Sage Zavir had read about the people from Allansia. He was asked by his seniors to never allow the denizens of Allansia to step foot inside Anfang.

"No. I was born and brought up in this soil. Anfang is as much as my home as it is yours," Eren said in a serious voice. It was as if he could read what Sage Zavir was thinking about and decided to calm his nerves.

Sage Zavir wanted to ask Eren how he could transform into a genuine Titan if he was from Anfang. If he was able to acquire the method that could allow the Rankers to transform into Titans, it would be a big win for the Anfang Alliance.

After all, the divine formation had already shattered, barely clinging on as a residue. The Titans from Allansia were bound to visit Anfang one day. If the Rankers from Anfang could turn into Titans, it would provide the denizens of this land to pose an actual threat to those accursed otherworlders. That too without having to sacrifice thousands of Rankers in the process.

Incidentally, this was what the Clean Slate Project was all about. House Samael was tasked with finding a way that could allow the Rankers from Anfang to turn into Titans using the Titans' bloodline as a driving force.

The creation of an artificial demon beast was the solution House Samael had come up with at the time. It was just that the denizens of Anfang never got to know about House Samael's findings before it was destroyed.

Sage Zavir realized that asking Eren how he found a way to transform into a Titan was useless. Eren wouldn't tell him because he asked nicely. After all, this was a crucial piece of information and they had come here to bargain with Eren in the first place.

"I see that you indeed have a trump card to carry on with your threat," Sage Zavir took a deep breath and said. "However, do you believe that we can still kill you by using S-Ranked battle formations? No matter how many of us get killed in the process, we can ensure that you don't see tomorrow's sun," he said to Eren calmly.

"Hahahaha," Eren started laughing.

"Do you think we are not capable of doing that?" Sage Hansen asked, not liking the fact that Eren was laughing in their face.

"No. I believe you. Why wouldn't I?" controlling his laughter, Eren responded.

"However, you can only kill me if I decide to fight with you till my last breath. Do you think I'm some ideological idiot who'd fight a battle he can't win and wager his life while doing it?"

Eren asked as he looked at the Sages with a gaze that challenged them to act.

"I'll just run away from here and find a safe spot. Then I can just take my time planning my revenge on you guys. I still have Sansara Sage's space element runes on me. Nobody can stop me if I want to leave this place unscathed."
