Chapter 1761 Guaranteed Hits Within the Pseudo-domain

?'What... What is this creepy sensation? What kind of ocular Skill is this?'

Gooseb.u.mps formed on Yugi's skin as she found herself thrust into an alternate reality by Eren's Unique Skill.

It felt as though every fiber of her being was urging her to escape this zone Eren had conjured around him. It was an environment she instinctively knew she shouldn't confront head-on.

'Is this a domain-type Skill? But there's no barrier.

A pseudo-domain maybe. I can see the normal world outside this weird zone. That means we can get out. As long as I step outside this zone– everything will be fine. But the problem is– how can I move?

I… I hate to admit it but I… I'm scared.'

Yugi's intuition compelled her to come to a halt, preventing her from charging toward her opponent, Vasco from Eren's team. Fortunately, Vasco had also ceased his movements, indicating that she wouldn't face consequences for her momentary inaction in the battle—at least not from Vasco.

Step. Step. Step.

The sound of Eren's advancing footsteps echoed through the eerie zone, captivating everyone ensnared within its confines. Yugi and the others turned their heads, their attention drawn to Eren as he nonchalantly approached Raif.

The few steps he had been pushed back by Raif's flying slash attack were retraced by Eren, leaving a distinct trail etched into the ground by his own footsteps. The butcher stretched his arms as if he had just woken up from a nice slumber, walking casually in a haunting world he had created around him.

This zone was the reflection of his Individuality. And he was certainly not fearful of his own Individuality– his own reflection. He liked himself and accepted himself for who he was.

A smile was etched on his handsome face as he looked at the effects of his own Unique Skill with a sense of awe and wonder. One could tell that this was his first time seeing the effects of his own Unique Skill as well.

He was experiencing [ Skill: Unreal Reflection ] for the first time along with his allies and enemies. As such, he chose to remain silent for the time being and observed the degree of change he could inject into his current reality.

Behind Eren materialized a runic wheel, reminiscent of an ancient Array Formation. Unlike human-crafted arrays, this formation seemed to be an intrinsic part of the Existential Concepts, following the fundamental Rules of Creation.

Within this mystical array were two Array Eyes, peculiar circles created by ancient runes and magic signs of unknown origin. These Array Eyes had a diameter of around two meters.

As Eren blinked and offered a smile, his own eyes seamlessly replaced these Array Eyes within the formation. His emerald-green eyes expanded to the size of his body inside the Array Formation floating above him, a.s.suming a runic form above his head.

These eyes seemed to possess an otherworldly sight, gazing in unison with Eren, penetrating through everything, including the very souls of those ensnared in the altered reality crafted by his Unique Skill.

'Raif… run. Run away, d.a.m.n it,' Yugi silently screamed within herself as she witnessed Eren closing in on her teammate. Strangely, her voice seemed imprisoned, stifled as if her very soul was coerced into a forbidding silence. She had lost the ability to move a step away from her current position as well. It was as if the spatial fabric around her had been altered, robbing her ability to walk freely in the zone.

Unbeknownst to Yugi, Raif was desperately attempting just that—struggling to create a safe distance from the approaching Eren. However, an unexpected hindrance thwarted his efforts.

Despite the mix of panic and desperation etched on his face, he had tried to act cool. But the closer Eren got the more panicked he felt in his heart.

'Why… why the f.u.c.k can't I get away from this demon?'

Raif looked down and discovered that fleshy arms, composed of bones, limbs of otherworldly creatures, and spectral hands had emerged from the ground. These arms and weird extensions had imprisoned his legs like shackles.

The arms multiplied exponentially within moments, like a grotesque manifestation preventing him from taking a single step back. They grew in size and the power they exerted over Raif's body made it difficult for him to remain standing on his legs.

It felt as though the entire world conspired to immobilize Raif. His strong muscles and pro-testosterone body could do nothing to fight against Eren's control over the psycho-

domain.

He could intrinsically feel that he needed Eren's permission to move in this altered zone. And something told him Eren wasn't just going to give him one just because he asked nicely.

Eren halted within arm's reach of Raif. Although his face lacked eyeb.a.l.l.s, his emerald-green eyes, now part of the Array Formation, fixated on Raif from the s.p.a.ce above Eren's head. The gaze held a deity-like air, treating Raif as nothing more than an insignificant ant.

"Water accepts all gifts from living beings, but it always gives back what it takes eventually," Eren cryptically stated to Raif, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

Raif, along with Eren's other enemies and allies, found themselves baffled, unable to grasp the meaning behind his words.

In the ensuing moment, their confusion deepened as they witnessed Raif's earlier flying slash being summoned back into existence with a mere wave of Eren's hands. It materialized in the s.p.a.ce between Eren and Raif.

This reappearance was mysterious, mirroring its disappearance moments ago.

This rejuvenated flying slash carried an even more substantial amount of water-element mana, surpa.s.sing its initial creation by Raif. It now bore the added complexity of Eren's Elemental Aspects related to water, acquired through his Elemental Attainments.

"Here. I give you what belongs to you."

Eren declared with an indifferent gaze fixed upon Raif. The water-element slash attack, once again, vanished into thin air. However, what followed were distinct thudding sounds that echoed one after another, perplexing Yugi and the rest.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

Yugi's horrified scream pierced the air as she grasped the reality of what had transpired. The flying slash attack manifested as a phantom between Raif's corporeal form before the rules dictating its existence underwent a profound transformation.

In an eerie turn of events, the flying slash transitioned from its phantom state to a tangible form just as it intersected with Raif's body like an illusory overlay, resulting in a vertical split that cleaved him into two distinct parts. The unsettling thud sounds that echoed were the echoes of Raif's divided form colliding with the ground.

Jen and Yugi, gripped by horror, shared a chilling realization. Eren's Unique Skill conferred upon him a formidable capability—

the a.s.surance of guaranteed hits for any of his attacks on adversaries within the pseudo-domain.

There was no way for anyone to avoid being hit by Eren's attacks as long as they were within the range of [ Unique Skill: Unreal Reflection ].

Unlike most ocular Skills, this Unique Skill affected everyone who could be seen by the pair of emerald-green eyes hanging over Eren's head inside the Array Formation.
