Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 421 Captain's Orders

Chapter 421 Captain's Orders

Eren then looked around and saw his squadmates still battling with their respective opponents. Since he didn't want to work harder than he had to, he lit up his Sativa stick and smoked it as he observed those battles.

He first focused on Sidro Zas, who was battling an Orc Leader.

The berserker of Eren's team had worn army-issue armour that had various gems embedded in it connected by a series of runic inscriptions. He was carrying an Ace Rank spear.

His opponent was an Orc Leader that seemed to be focused on defence. He was seen carrying a large s.h.i.+eld that boasted the monster version of strange runic inscriptions.

Breeee!

The Orc Leader let out a battle cry and raised his free hand. Three earthen golems appeared in front of him that had the same appearance and shape as the caster.

The golems soon acquired earthen armour. Unlike Eren who didn't let his opponent cast her spell at all, Sid preferred focusing on executing his spells and making this battle as epic as possible. His motive was clear. He wanted Altas.h.i.+a, their captain to understand how powerful he was compared to Eren. He was so driven by the thirst to fight a flashy battle that he didn't pay attention to Eren who was already done with his duel.

Sid focused on his transcendent spell and released it when he was done with it.

Beast Contract Spell!

Lightning Bull!

***************

Sid was also a lightning element user like Eren. But unlike Eren's speed, the latter's inherent nature focused on the element's destructive properties. Plus, he had access to the beast contract spell that he had gained after joining the army.

Sid was a normal ranker who had joined the Edinburgh army when he was an unranked boy. He had slowly climbed up the army ranks and became a part of the cleaning crew division.

The army squad that was made to explore and manage the Badlands was given more resources than their normal counterparts. In addition, special spells such as the Beast Contract Spell were easily available to them after they acc.u.mulated certain merits.

This was the biggest advantage the army would have over the academies. While the academies focused on the overall progress of a ranker as a whole, the Army focused on only one aspect of the individual ranker– explosive power.

That's why most army squad members who were used to entering the Badlands would have Beast Contract spells and deadly army-issue weapons. They wouldn't be allotted to someone like Claho or his team this easily.

Red Lightning Bull!

Sid cast his Beast Contract spell. A dark brown bull covered in red lightning appeared in front of Sid. He let it attack one of the golems. He, on the other hand, focused on strengthening his features with his beast contract spell.

Sid's arms grew at a visible rate. His size suddenly changed. His stature also increased quite a bit.

Breeee!

A distinct mana pulse was released in the surrounding area. It indicated that Sid's opponent had entered his rage state.

Sid laughed louder when he saw that his challenge had stepped up his game. To him, it meant that he would have more room to show his awesomeness to his crush and captain. One had to say, Sid was a believer in fairy tales. He wanted the proverbial happy ending with Altas.h.i.+a. And he was ready to extend to any lengths for that to happen.

The Orc Leader saw that a bull beast with the mana body was approaching him so he yelled out and sent one of his golems to meet the incoming enemy. Meanwhile, he strengthened his defence position some more with two more summoned golems.

'd.a.m.n. Hats off to this delusional fool. He surpa.s.sed the limits of idiocracy I had a.s.sumed for him.

Because of this, I had directed you to focus on the Orc Leaders from the very beginning of the battle. The more evolutionary stages they pa.s.s through, the higher their potential to birth something unexpected mid-battle. The number of golems this Leader can summon is just unreal.

Monsters are even more unpredictable than mana beasts when it comes to casting spells and the limits of their battle potential. Heh! The guy can go ahead and die for all I care. I just hope he doesn't create trouble for me.

Heh! Wishful thinking, Eren.'

Eren thought to himself as he watched the battle with his enhanced perception. These days, he was consciously making efforts to test the limits of his time-element spells. He wanted to see if they could give him the supposed side effects or if he was completely immune to them even after extended usage.

Furthermore, Eren had come to realize something after he had used his sin series ability: Domain of Wrath. For a spell to become an ability, he either needed extreme luck or intervention from someone way stronger than him. OR, he needed to get familiarized with the spell so much that it would become second nature to him.

So now, he would often execute Seated Perception at random. He wanted to make conscious efforts to make the spell into his ability as soon as it could.

Clas.h.!.+

The red lightning bull clashed with the golem and tried to lift it using the lightning-clad horns it had. Too bad, the earth-element golem didn't receive any damage from either the lightning or the physical force with which the bull had charged it with. It just allowed the bull's horns to pa.s.s through its torso before restoring the torso that was just destroyed with more earth-element mana.

Now the bull's horns were stuck in the golem's torso which it couldn't get out no matter what. It continued to release more lightning element attacks but in vain.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The bull's st.u.r.dy back was hammered by the golem's hands locked together. To make matters more complicated, another golem appeared beside the previous one.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

It didn't take long for Sid's bull to get sent back to him soon after he had cast it. But he didn't have time to look into that matter. Because he already had his hands full with the golems protecting the defensive specialist Orc Leader.
