Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1891 Nascent Demon Emperor Lending a Helping Hand

1891  Nascent Demon Emperor Lending a Helping Hand

Only a few seconds had passed since Jolly had decided to sit cross-legged right in the middle of nowhere in the Wrathful Red Forest.

While he was contacting Eren, the enemies in front of him were confused by his actions. However, the Lust Mana and Wrath Mana affecting them didn't allow them to think complicated things for long. By this point, even Gunthor thought that it would be quicker to get rid of Jolly and satiate their feelings.

When they realized that no attack was coming from Jolly and the two S-Ranked ladies who had flanked him from either side, they screamed and launched themselves toward them.

However, their initial hesitation was enough for Eren to completely possess Jolly's body and take over his consciousness.

Demonic Takeover!

When Jolly opened his eyes, he was Jolly no more.

***

"Jolly… What... what the fuck is he doing?"

Shaai questioned her husband's actions silently as she watched him assume a meditative position just as their enemies were about to attack. She was on the verge of asking him to explain when Yona intervened.

"Let him contact the new Demon Emperor. It'll be much quicker if he lends us a hand," Yona informed Shaai, leaving her even more perplexed. 'Hm? Who is this Demon Emperor? And what does he have to do with my husband?'

Unfortunately, this wasn't the ideal time for Shaai to interrogate her husband. She chose to set aside her questions for the moment and focused her attention on the adversaries before her.

At this point, the demonic practitioners from the Helenbora coven and their allies had spread out, encircling Shaai, Yona, and Jolly. The two S-Ranked demonic practitioners positioned themselves at the front and back, while the rest of the group arranged strategically, making it difficult for Shaai and Yona to escape.

The B-Ranked and S-Ranked demonic practitioners maintained the siege, while the A-Ranked ones were the first to approach Jolly and the others, attempting to launch the initial strike.

At this point, Jolly was seen opening his eyes, clearly under the influence of Eren's consciousness.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

The Sin Series Mana in the surroundings riled up. The winds made howling noises and the streaks of lightning crackled from nowhere.

It was as if the ambient light had been devoured, turning the ambiance of the entire region a little dimmer. It was as if this part of the forest had been carved out from the rest and summoned into a weird twilight zone.

It was as if this part of the forest was paving the way for a grim dawn to appear in the skies above.

"What… What is happening? Is it…. This... this is demonic possession! No, wait. There's something different about it," Shaai thought, her eyes widening in surprise.

As a member of the Darkmoon Fellowship, she could sense that something akin to demonic possession had occurred with Jolly.

However, she also sensed that Jolly wasn't truly possessed by a demon. After spending so much time together, she would have recognized if Jolly was a demonic practitioner or not.

As soon as Eren took control of Jolly's body, Shaai felt something distinctly different about him—something more primal and demonic than any demon she had encountered before.

Eren didn't immediately rise from his position. Instead, he smiled wickedly as he observed the A-Ranked demonic practitioners approaching.

"Kekeke. I needed more Faustian Rune Fragments anyway. How generous of them to hand them over with such enthusiasm."

With a sinister grin, he raised his hands and clapped them together.

Sin Series Authority Domains!

One after another, the Sin Series Domains materialized out of thin air.

Simultaneously, Jolly's appearance underwent a drastic transformation. His hair was whitened and lengthened, cascading down to his waist, while demonic runes manifested all over his body in the form of tribal tattoos. His eyes shifted to icy blue, and countless stardust-like manifestations of the elements surrounded him.

Jolly's transformation bore a striking resemblance to Eren's usual appearance, altering his Individuality and completely changing his original aura and presence.

Step. Step. Step.

The approaching A-Ranked practitioners soon discovered that their feet were ensnared. Looking down, they found human and non-human mouths emerging from the ground, latching onto their legs and preventing them from advancing even a single step.

These spectral mouths were unmistakably Mouths of Gluttony.

"What... what the he—" An A-Ranked demonic practitioner was about to voice his surprise, but before he could, the Spectral mouth enveloping his feet suddenly expanded, swallowing his entire body.

"Hehehehe," the Mouths of Gluttony cackled as they devoured the demonic practitioners whole, leaving them no chance to retaliate.

Though not as formidable as the S-Ranked entities, the A-Ranked practitioners possessed their own pride. They were not easily defeated, even by most initiated stage S-Ranked entities.

However, after Eren completed his possession of Jolly's body through the Demonic Takeover, he stirred unrest among the demons inhabiting the bodies of the A-Ranked practitioners. Before they could seize control of their vessels and plead for survival, Eren unleashed the Mouths of Gluttony, consuming them without mercy.

In a matter of seconds, Eren dispatched all of the A-Ranked practitioners within the group without lifting a finger.

"This... this is not good," Ganthor's expression twisted into one of fear and panic as he witnessed Eren's effortless disposal of the A-Ranked practitioners. He glanced at his S-Ranked ally, who mirrored his panic-stricken gaze.

"Let's… let's get the hell away from that man."

Though affected by the Wrath Mana, Ramov sensed a drastic change in Jolly. His survival instincts urged him to retreat.

However, before Ramov and Ganthor, the two S-Ranked demonic practitioners, could flee, they felt their legs ensnared by something. Spectral Chains had emerged, draining their vitality and clouding their rationality.

Chains of Avarice!

Shroud of Lethargy!

Flames of Wrath!

Seeds of Jealousy!

Eren's Sin Series powers manifested one after the other.

Shaai was shocked beyond her wildest imagination. Whereas, Yona looked at Eren curiously, as if she was already expecting him to wield his Sin Series abilities in this way.

'I guess I made the right choice,' Yona thought to herself as she watched Eren's back with many thoughts running in her mind.
