Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 152: Et Tu Ari?

Chapter 152: Et Tu Ari?

“Too late for that.”

This was the last line the guy in his early 20s heard. After that, his vision got darker and he stopped feeling his body.

This was because Reen transformed into her original form and attacked the weakest link of the duo, as taught by her master. She spread her slimy ma.s.s and coated the guy’s entire body within it. The guy had almost died inside, making little to no movements when trapped by a C-Rank beast. It was just his body getting dissolved inside.

The guy that was with him was horrified by the scenes unfolding in front of him. A mana beast of unknown rank had attacked them. And it was devouring one of them like it was no big deal.

He tried to run away. But Reen created a rope from her slimy ma.s.s and extended it towards the man, tying his legs up as quickly as the guy thought of escaping.

“Help! Someone, please help us.”

The guy started shouting and calling for help. Someone in the shadows was irked by his actions.

“Reen, from now on, you are to prioritize your food doesn’t talk when it is being had. Target its mouth first to achieve that.”

Eren came out of hiding after saying that.

“You! Brat, come here and help me. I’ll give you all the money and resources that I have.”

The cultist tried his last resort into tempting someone who unbeknownst to him was his attacker. The latter laughed after hearing the deal he was pitched:

“As cliched as it may sound, you can not bribe me with something which is going to be mine anyway. Reen, quick, we are on a schedule here.”

Eren ordered his demon beast to hurry up who was playing with her food. The side dish didn’t stop striving for his chance to survive through:

“Motherfu*ker! Who are you?

Wait…

Are you saying you control this horrible creature? Please I’m begging you, don’t do this to me. If it’s wealth you want on me, I can give it to you…”

Eren didn’t want to answer the guy but he kept on yelling in his direction. Reen was too engrossed in having her current food that she ignored her master’s order of shus.h.i.+ng her side dish.

So the dark knight had to say something to shut him up.

“You misunderstand. What you have on you might be tempting. But it is not our main goal, Mr.cultist. What my demon beast want from you is your body. She is starving you see.”

Only now did the captured cultist realize that these attackers were looking for him. They were probably a part of the squad from the city of Silvermoon.

The cultist knew the chances of his survival were low if he didn’t do anything about his current situation.

“Aren’t your protocols dictate that the cultists should be taken prisoners first to draw the information from them. I have a lot of information about the current plan the cultists have regarding the city of Silvermoon.”

The guy tried to milk the fact that he was needed by these rankers to investigate the cultists’ activities. Too bad, he met with a certain someone who didn’t care about any of that.

“Yeah. Not interested. Keep that information to yourself and die with it for all I care. Reen, hurry up girl.”

The cultist almost spat blood after hearing Eren’s response. He hadn’t come across anyone from the rankers’ faction who breached the protocols a.s.signed to them so brazenly.

“Wait. I know who we are supposed to meet. I haven’t told this to anybody because I only heard my leader say this in pa.s.sing. I can tell you…”

The cultist tried to sell the most important information he had in exchange for his life. He thanked his stars he hadn’t signed a mana contract with his cultist organization because of his F-Rank. Otherwise, he would have died before leaking such information. Too bad, there was no buyer to what he was trying hard to give on discount:

“My man, do you even understand what I just said? We are not interested.”

Reen finished her first meal. The trace of the first guy she had eaten was nowhere to be found except the ID Stone on him. Then she started enveloping her tentacles onto her next meal.

The meal-to-be cultist knew this was a life and death moment for him. He didn’t care about the attacker reciprocating his wishes or not and said what he knew as a last resort:

“Hold on. Listen to me. The person who we are supposed to meet has an exclusive stock of Frostfoam elven ale. This is what I know. Now please…”

The guy gave out the information he had once heard by chance to his attacker. Hoping the attacker at least takes him under custody after hearing that. But opposite to what he was expecting took place at that time.

“Fuc*k, fu*k, fuc*k. Your dense motherfuc*er. I had told you I don’t want to know. Yet you still gave me the worst information I could ask for. Reen, kill this fuc*ker this instant for me.”

Erens’ anger irrupted after hearing the guy’s response. He didn’t want to involve himself in this shadow brawl between the cultists and the city of Silvermoon. And yet this idiot of a cultist who just had to value his life more than the information he had came clean to Eren against his wishes.

Reen felt a strong surge of hatred her master had for this guy in her psyche. That prevented her from taking her leisure time to having her food. She quickly snapped the guy’s neck with one of her tentacles and absorbed him into her slimy ma.s.s next.

“What do we do now, Erni? Should we give this information to that Marla woman?”

Reen a.s.sumed her young girl form after having two human nuggets. She adjusted her clothes while asking her master about their next set of plans:

“Why the fu*ck would I say anything to Marla? It’s her fuc*king friend Arizihana Agnoth who is involved with the cultists if what the guy said was true. I’ll just let the woman do her dirty work in the background. Why the fuc*k should I care about what happens to the city of Silvermoon or its citizen?

Now let’s clean the traces you have left on the field, collect the ID Stones, and get away from this place asap.”

Eren ordered his demon beast with a grim face and foul mood. He had figured out who the trojan’s horse was inside the city of Silvermoon as soon as the guy talked about the stockpile of Frostfoam ale.
