Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 199: Quadruple Spell Stacking

The butcher felt nothing as he looked at the result of using Veronica as his punching bag. She now had black and blue spots all over her body. Her mouth had a cocktail of saliva, vomit and blood dripping from it. Her wet-stained white pants and her now messy hair added to her battered look.

Eren was finally satisfied with this result. He smiled magnanimously towards Veronica as if granting the bitch her most desired wish.

“Byebye!”

Eren said as he grabbed Veronica’s head and executed Blitz Bolt. Veronica Garcia could finally rest as she was sent to feel the bliss of unconsciousness.

Needless to say, all this took place within a span of only a few minutes. Eren took his time dealing with Veronica. But his perception of time would always get skewed while in Sedated Perception. So in reality, not much time had passed since Eren dealt with the cannon fodder.

Eren finally looked up after watching Veronica Garcia fall to her knees before finally sleeping like a baby on the bare ground. He observed that his opponent’s team was not the only one who had its members neutralized.

Ivor had taken down Jake and Becky just the way Eren had taken down Veronica. He could have finished them sooner but he had underestimated Becky’s attacks and suffered a bit because of it.

From that moment on, Ivor acted with prudence and slowly chipped away at their defence until finally neutralizing the team’s tank. After Jake fell, it was only a matter of time before Becky followed her teammate in his footsteps.

Renita on the other hand had still somehow kept Jason pinned with her attacks. But she was soon going to be out of breath and mana as she had expended a lot of them compared to her opponents. The reason for this is that they were waiting for the inevitable to happen. She would soon get taken down by the boy prodigy if things progressed the way they were progressing and there was no external intervention.

He was on the verge of fighting Jason and helping Renita against his pragmatic judgment when his senses told him there would be danger soon befalling him. He looked in the direction of Ivor vs Becky and Jake’s battle spot to see that Osan Jr was rapidly approaching him.

Ironically, Osan Jr had almost the same kind of lightning spells Eren had. That was because they had both got them from the academy’s repertoire. Isen Osan had also pulled some strings to allow his grandson easy access to better spells and techniques.

Ivor was seen executing Blitz Steps. Their eyes met even from a distance. Osan Jr. couldn’t help feeling excited after seeing how Eren fought with his opponents.

“Hahaha! You are doing well, Eren Idril. Very good. This is what I have been missing. Duel with a lightning ranker of almost equal calibre. Don’t disappoint me. Prepare yourself.”

Ivor provoked Eren loudly and made his confidence in him and his battle prowess known to all his fans. The crowd broke into chanting Ivor’s name as they saw him about to engage with the guy who didn’t know how to show leniency to the fairer gender.

‘Another ass who thinks the world revolves around him.’

Thought Eren as he drew his katars out. He didn’t know much about Ivor’s battle style. However, he knew the guy was about to be a pain in the ass to deal with if he didn’t open most of his cards.

‘Blitz Steps.’

Eren activated his movement technique as well and ran in the direction of Ivor’s to meet him head-on. The two lightning element rankers with almost the same type of spells were going to battle it out.

Sedated Speed + Stunning Speed

The world stagnated around Eren as he activated his time-element-specific spell combo. Unlike the rare but natural time element users, he didn’t feel the backlashes of using the spells of the same element no matter how many times he executed them.

So it was not strange that Eren would decide to combo-use his battle centric time element spells without worrying about the aftereffects. But that only made it so that Eren would have only one more active spell before his senses, mana consumption, and mana circuit felt overwhelmed.

Eren had chosen Blitz Steps. He held his katar tight as he aimed at his opponent. But unlike the stagnated world around him, Ivor didn’t feel stagnated at all.

Ivor saw Eren start producing afterimages in his wake and knew his opponent was coming at him with all that he had got. But he wasn’t frustrated or afraid by the latter’s scary speed.

Ivor had his ways to make full use of his speed-centric elemental affinity. He activated the time-element artefact he had worn as a ring quadruple-stacked Blitz Steps.

The F-Rank time-element artefact was a very rare item Isen Osan had bought for his grandson using his reach. The ring had limited usage each day. And each time it was discharged, it would need to be charged with an array that made use of Extols like a fireplace makes use of the wood.

In short, charging the ring was a very tedious and expensive process that the average Joe couldn’t afford to do. But Ivor wasn’t average. He had secured the day’s usage of artefacts on Eren alone. Because he knew his battle with Eren would last only a short while before the latter beat him up.

The time-element artefacts were rarer than the time-element users. That said a lot about their scarcity. So it was nothing short of a miracle when Isen found an apt artefact for his scion.

The artefact’s effects were similar to Eren experiencing Sedated Perception. But unlike Eren who supported the spell with his mana, Ivor’s enhanced perception granted to him by the artefact was autonomous and didn’t require him to regulate with mana.

In short, Ivor was outsourcing Sedated Perception while importing its effects with his artefact ring. But that was not the only artefact he had.

Ivor’s boots were also a pair of lightning element artefacts. Their usage was even simpler. They would help Ivor stack Blitz Steps, enabling him to stack the movement spell four times at once.
