Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil
chapter-410

"Stay… stay the fuck away from me, you abomination! You won't get away from casting this devilish magic, you know. You will get hunted for…"

Claho started talking and shouting with mana imbued in his voice. He hoped that some ranker group would take notice of this battlefield. But then he remembered that he had chosen this spot specifically because it was barren. Only lone rankers like Eren who wanted to travel to the city of Osan at the time of lockdown would choose this way.

But this realization didn't stop him from screaming his heart out. He dished out a lot of threats directed at Eren with his scared voice. Sadly, the so-called monster approaching him didn't seem to care.

Meanwhile, Layla had thoughts of her own when she witnessed how the mark of wrath had manifested in Eren's case. This was the most powerful manifestation of the Sins series ability she had seen so far in the Ace rank. She couldn't believe that power like this was granted to someone in just the Elemental Condensation stage.

It may be that the way this freak chose to bind this power to him was the reason for such a crazy ability granted to him. The world's will involved in the equation must have been pleased by the freak's resolve.'

Layla concluded as she watched the events unfold around the battlefield. She was partly okay with Eren unlocking such power for himself. It only meant that her master's plans would have higher chances of success. But she was also partly worried because she had come to realize that the guy would never allow them to treat him as a pushover.

'Wait. He has indeed acquired a troublesome ability but there's no need to panic. He can't do anything in front of my master. I just need to keep closer tabs on this guy.'

Layla concluded and let the topic rest. She didn't have to maintain the array anymore because the array had been broken by force, thanks to the release of Eren's Domain of Wrath. But she still chose to stay at her place and watch the show.

"Would you shut the fuck up already? If you want to call me names, pick one and run with it.'

Eren disappeared from his position only to appear in front of Claho who had never stopped retreating step by step. He choked the guy's neck with his hand and continued:

"I meant every word I said, you know. I'm thankful for you guys. You have cleared my head and helped me get rid of all my doubts."

Eren said while flashing a gentle smile at Claho. Eren had started to pour the wrath mana inside Claho's mana circuits through his grip the moment he was caught in it. As a result, Claho couldn't cast any of his spells due to the foreign mana invading his body.

Eren tightened his grip around Claho's throat and brought him closer to him before continuing further.

"I accept the evil that's part of me now. I won't lose my shit again no matter who stands in front of me.

Your threats don't matter to me. Whatever happens to me, know that none of you is making it out of here alive.

And don't worry about me.

Heh. One way or the other…

My evil will not only survive in this world but also thrive here. No matter if it stays under the veil or comes out in the open."

As he said it, Eren imbued all the anger that he felt because of experiencing his weakest moment in Eliza's presence into his heart. The same heart that was powering his domain.

Eren's anger was a crucial element in keeping the Domain of Wrath active. The more he tapped into his anger, the stronger it became. And the more he used this domain, the more his anger would be zapped away from him. He could feel happiness after releasing all his rage in that way.

Eren had to say that the feeling of using this ability was intoxicating. He felt like he was releasing all his anger into the world. And the guy had a lot of it pent up in his heart.

Claho started changing under the influence of wrath mana that he had injected into his system by force. He released Claho's neck to observe the transformation closely.

Meanwhile, almost all of Claho's teammates were busy with the creatures of wrath that were getting out of their hands. Some of them had started to get out of the domain using various methods instead of running blindly as Kelmar had done.

But no matter what trick, artefact, spell, or potions they used, they would always get repelled by the barrier at the last second. Then the wrath mana would invade their bodies and make them experience uncontrollable anger towards everything and everyone around them while affecting their mana circuits and mana cores.

The deserters would turn into creatures of wrath soon after getting infected by the otherworldly mana. And it won't take long for them to either kill their opponents or get killed in the process.

A bunch of wrath flames flew towards Eren. He accepted them into his body while watching Claho transform. But suddenly he felt that some weird and unexplainable thoughts were forming in his consciousness.

Eren closed his eyes again and processed those thoughts only to find out that they were not his own. They were the thoughts and experiences of his victims burnt to cinders by the flames of wrath. All the experiences that they had felt related to the feeling of anger or wrath were now being processed by him.

That was not all.

In addition, Eren began to analyze the weapon masteries of his victims as well as their progress in their respective ways of using the elements. He processed them like they were his own. Or more accurately, Domain of Wrath had enabled him to digest his victims' experiences as rankers and turn them into his own.

Eren was only beginning to understand the true potential of his ability as he started processing those experiences. He couldn't help but open his mouth and mumble to himself when he realized what was happening.

'Phew! No wonder Arthur wanted this power.'
