Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

The Sansara Academy had its own ways of nurturing rankers of different backgrounds.

pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com It allowed its students to pursue other classes while empowering them with the study of arrays. The concept of arrays itself did not have any restrictions so to speak. So it was possible to use it any way one wanted it to be as long as the array was well designed for the purpose.

This ranker from Sansara Academy was not a typical assassin. He was less dependent on his gear and his assassination skills and more on the array imprints he had all over his body. He could even store the neurological signals of various muscles inside his array imprints. This allowed him to automatically perform various types of actions suited to a range of scenarios.

The stored neurological signals were based on the movements of exceptional assassins. It was a geek's way of imitating assassination skills without having to work for them.

As opposed to learning skills from various classes and professions manually, the rankers at Sansara Academy studied arrays instead. The result of all this was a ranker who could move and perform like a veteran assassin within set parameters.

Lightning struck and Eren moved. He and the assassin from Gondel's team fought at their full strength while Gondel's team tried to launch a sneak attack on Eren. Gondel and the team didn't try to approach Eren carelessly while he and the deviant assassin were fighting. They knew that doing so might jeopardize their own teammates' lives.

The landscape started changing as the Expert-ranked entities fought. Greenery was destroyed and the ground was covered with craters of various shapes, sizes, and depths. Various mana fluctuations started spreading in the surroundings, creating a variety of elemental manifestations in the process.

Eren and Gondel's side came to understand one thing after fighting with each other for a few minutes. Both sides underestimated each other.

Eren and the deviant assassin used multiple Sansara Perks to empower their offense and defense while they fought. The butcher didn't have a problem handling his opponent. But he had to remain wary of the attacks initiated by Gondel's teammates, which were distracting.

The butcher had to say that he had underestimated the geeks. He had thought that they would be easy to deal with since how easily he could kill the three rankers. But it turns out they had Trump cards of their own they could use against him after being made aware of his presence.

The class of assassin wasn't really meant for frontal combat anyway. So the butcher decided to pull back.

Blitz Sheild

Blitz Storm.

Beast Contract Spell.

Blink.

Eren coated himself in a lightning cloak. Bitz Storm served as a diversion and a second line of defense for Eren. He summoned Ertaur and made him attack the assassin before finding a breather to use Blink.

Ertaur bellowed as soon as he arrived at the scene before using Red Bull Rush on the assassin. The latter was caught off guard by Eren's sudden diversion and retreat. He couldn't avoid Ertaur's charge at him. The next thing he knew he was thrown 100s of meters away from his position– with streaks of red lightning trying to invade his mana defense.

Eren was still besieged by Gondel's team at this point even if he had managed to create distance between himself and the assassin. Still, nobody else approached him carelessly. A couple of them were busy securing the assassin from Eren's potential follow-up attacks, while others were wary of Ertaur.

Eren was no longer interested in continuing his endeavor, contrary to what they thought. He wanted to quit while he was ahead.

"It was a pleasure meeting you guys. But… I'm short on time.

I think I'll take my leave from here. Unless… you want to know me better and want me to stay. What will it be?"

Eren said and smiled at Gondel while maintaining a safe distance. His message to the geek was simple– he didn't want to engage with Gondel's team. But he would go all out if forced.

"You fucking creep… you think you can just kill three of our teammates and we will let you go…"

One of the rankers from Gondel's team was pissed at Eren for even thinking of retreating at this point when the conflict had registered casualties from their side. But Eren didn't have to say anything to the angry ranker. He was forced to stop talking by his captain-Gondel the geek before Eren could say something.

"Let… let him go."

Gondel spoke with some difficulty. He had clenched his hands so hard that his nails had dug deep into his skin– his fists dripping blood on the ground. It was clear that the geek didn't want Eren to escape scot-free either. And yet, he had decided to make a compromise for greater interest.

'But Captain Gondel….

'Shut the fuck up. We will talk about all of this later. Let him go first. Don't fucking attack him.'

Gondel spoke over voice communication with conviction and shushed his teammates' objections to his decision. The butcher, on the other hand, smiled at Gondel before calling Ertaur back. He dispersed the Beast Contract Spell and waved at the geek before putting on the beaked mask.

In the next moment, Eren vanished from the scene. Not only was the combination of the beaked mask and Blink extremely effective in the assassination, but it also enabled one to get rid of one's pursuers effectively. Gondel's team couldn't follow Eren's trail at all after he made his exit.

Gondel used a few Perks and made sure that Eren was not in the vicinity before breathing a sigh of relief. The assassin who had been thrown away from the battlefield returned to Gondel in a less-than-ideal condition.

The red lightning bull's sudden attack had really done a number on the assassin. Plus, the defense wasn't his strong suit because of his agility-focused class. Still, even he did not like that Gondel had given up fighting Eren this early.

"Gondel, I think we should follow him. Let's forget about the siege. I am sure I can follow him if I try. That Beast summon surprised me. But I won't let that happen to me next time."

Gondel shook his head in denial and sighed before revealing his thoughts.
