Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1627 Mythical Beast Vs Walking Calamity

"This… how… how did he turn into a Titan?"

Leela asked herself in a low voice as she watched Eren's Titan form.

Eren had turned into a giant of about 100 meters in height, towering well over Eliza who had tapped into her bloodline transformation and became a dragon.

Incidentally, Eren still had his Hext Armor Set on him, turning him into a Titan Dragonoid who looked as vicious as he was intimidating. The wings on his back were as big as Eliza's and his draconic face looked full of hatred and anger.

Eren's mana signatures had completely changed to make it look like he had really turned into a Titan, preventing Eliza and other witnesses from assuming that this was an illusion or a spell-driven transformation. It was as if the Titan from the Calamity Era had been left behind in the Land of the Faithless and he was suddenly showing himself out in the open.

The dragon roared and the Titan summoned roared back in his guttural voice.

Eren summoned his demonic saber which changed its size and shape to match his current needs. After all, Asura was an Elder Seed Artifact. Changing its shape to suit its owner's needs was almost like it's second nature.

"Layla, why didn't you inform our master about this?" Leela turned towards her sister and asked in a shaky voice. The latter shook her head before answering.

"Do you think I wouldn't have let our master know about this monstrosity if I was aware?" Layla asked her sister in a frustrated voice. "I only thought that we were planning to steal the layout for the Soul Seed Insertion Array from the City of Lancelot. But I guess Eren had planned to steal something else from House Lancelot as well."

"That robbery to get the Soul Seed Insertion Array!" Leela realized what Eren had done, widening her eyes in surprise. "He must have gotten his hands on the Titan's corpse that was killed by the Titan Slayer Shallot Lancelot."

Layla nodded her head, supporting Leela's conjecture. "I didn't know Eren's bloodline could assimilate with a Titan from Allansia as well. This… this is huge. No wonder Master Eliza wanted to trigger her bloodline evolution using Reen. She could have reached greater heights than her peak in the past had she succeeded in her plan. Alas," Layla sighed in disappointment as she looked at the sky that had become the battlefield for the two giant entities.

One of the biggest advantages of tapping into a bloodline transformation was the fact that it would refill one's mana core instantly, giving them additional time and fuel to keep on fighting. This was the reason why Eliza hadn't used her dragon transformation against Demonmir even when he made her desperate to do so.

Eliza didn't want to waste the one-time opportunity she had to refill her mana core on Demonmir only to be outfoxed by Eren in the end.

Eren had something similar going inside his head as well. He knew about the bloodline transformation quite well.

Eren could guess that Eliza would tap into her bloodline transformation when she was in her most desperate situation, to potentially turn the tides in her favor. Thus, he saved this trump card for last as well and only revealed it after his enemy turned into a dragon.

Another benefit both Eliza and Eren enjoyed by tapping into their respective transformations was related to how they could galvanize the mana around them. As their size and stature increased, the sphere of influence within which they could make the mana in the surroundings obey their will also increased exponentially. Meaning, that both of them could cast elemental spells that dealt hundreds or even thousands of times more damage than before.

This was the reason why the Rankers feared dragons and the Titans from the Calamity Era. The Titans were called the Walking Calamity because they only needed to cast single and most straightforward spells they would have in their arsenal to destroy an entire region completely. This was also the reason why fully-grown dragons were deemed mythical beasts that needed countries to come together and open a united front to combat them.

The physical form of destruction that both fully grown dragons and Titan could bring about was a separate matter altogether. This was why creatures like these were treated as a catastrophic level threat by the Rankers of the Land of the Faithless.

Sometimes even the most potent forms of spells or Array Formations were not enough to stop a casual attack from these monstrosities. The Battle Formations only prolonged the inevitable for the Rankers fighting against such creatures. Not even Sages were enough to deal with such entities all by themselves. They needed to battle in groups, preferably using the Battle Formations, to even stand a chance to pose a threat to them.

One could say that the Sages from the Anfang Alliance were fortunate. They were not present on the battlefield, sparing them the dreadful sight in front of them. Otherwise, they would have lost their cool seeing a Titan appear in the Land of the Faithless for the first time after the Calamity Era.

The sky of the battlefield was lit up like never before. The view of the Divine Formation that had appeared in the sky was blocked as the two A-ranked giants cast their respective spells.

It was as if waves of green and azure blue flames were clashing against each other. Incidentally, the area of influence for these flames had exceeded the size of the battlefield.

The potency of these flames had also increased. If these flames were to be cast on the ground at this point, it would have turned the two big regions from Edinburgh and Layos kingdom into wastelands. Not that the two regions weren't barren to begin with.

Roar!

The dragon tried to bite and tear through the Titan's flesh with its maws and giant beastly claws. However, it had to be wary of the Titan's saber which could cut through its defenses and even manage to hurt its dragon scales.

Eliza attacked Eren with her fire breath as well as her physical attacks. She had stopped using the Sin Series Mana in her attacks, taking the lesson from her previous experience with Eren.

"Grgrgrgrgrgr. You have just made a fool of yourself by turning into a Titan, Eren. I am called the strongest Titan Slayer of Anfang for a reason," Eliza's thunderous voice boomed in the surroundings as she spoke to Eren while stabilizing herself in the air using her giant wings.

Getting past her initial shock, it didn't look like she was afraid of Eren anymore. If anything, she saw Eren's figure as a challenge for herself, a challenge she was ready to face without there being any hesitation. For her, defeating a Titan was an aim that she had already achieved in the past. She just needed to relive her past glory.

"That may be true. But you are mistaken about something here, witch" Eren responded in an equally menacing voice.

"I am not a Titan," Eren said before wielding his saber in front of him.

"I am Eren."
