Chapter 825 Taking Hostages P2
Eren could control his summoner class better after he had digested Rey's experiences. The way with which he had digested them allowed him to use them as if he had been using them for a long time like his own spells.
He was able to switch between his summoner class and his close combat class without much hassle. This was due to the training he received from Alephee regarding the control of his mana circuits.
He was sure that the more he got through with his training with Alephee, the more he would be able to tap into both classes with equal ease.
While Krista was suffering through her ordeal, Lambert and Rupen were getting attacked by a bunch of woodland creatures that had appeared all around them. Unlike Krista who was destroying the Earth Spikes in her path, the male rankers of the Blood Punisher Force were trying to find their way around them.
As a result, both of them were surrounded by them as Eren summoned them through the Earth Spikes. Lambert repelled one of the woodland creatures coming his way. He controlled his spell and pulled him towards the other woodland creature coming his way. However, he had to fight with the third creature that had gotten too close to him.
"Fuck these monsters!"
Lambert was finally overwhelmed with frustration when the woodland creatures started tag-teaming him. He tried to attack them using his staff and his weapon mastery. But the woodland creatures simply regenerated themselves before attacking the rank with newfound vigor.
Lamber raised his right arm to cast his repel spell on all three of the woodland creatures at the same time. But just then, he received a threatening sensation.
Bzzt. Swoosh. Chop.
Eren attacked Lambert while he had his hands full with his summoned creatures. He chopped Lambert's right arm from his shoulder before retreating into the air once again. It was only after Eren displayed the arm that Lambert was able to know what had happened to him.
Another round of loud screaming and cursing followed. The butcher just ignored them and carried on with his attacks. He had concentrated on the relatively weaker rankers first before taking care of Rupen.
The last thought Lambert had before being forced to sleep was about Eren. He wondered and felt afraid of the versatility Eren had shown him fighting with them. It was like he had many alter egos of himself.
He had taken care of Krista using a metaphorical low-blow attack. He had effortlessly countered his spells after seeing them only for a short time. And the man could summon monsters of this level while being a deadly close combat expert.
Lambert didn't understand what kind of bloodline would grant Eren powers like the ones he had displayed so far. But he knew that if he were allowed to grow any further than what he is right now, Eren alone would be able to wipe out the Blood Punisher Force all by himself.
Boom.
Rupen released another stored fire-element spell he had kept in his special spatial mirror storage. He had spell effects of various elements stored inside his special storage. And thankfully, the fire-element spells were the most plentiful among them.
However, Eren's woodland creatures were persistent and downright immortal. They would regrow their bodies and attack him even if only a tiny amount of their bodies were left after his attacks.
The most threatening thing about the woodland creatures was the fact that they were not summoned using the mana body. Their organic bodies were pumped with wood-element mana, making them as tough as normal rankers.
Rupen couldn't mirror most of their attacks with the same intensity because of their physical nature. As a result, he was forced to use the stored spell effects. The fire-element effects gave him better results. But he knew that as long as the summoner remained unscathed, the summoned creatures would just keep on coming at him.
Rupen tried attacking Eren throughout his struggle for survival. But Eren refused to engage him in close combat anymore. He was therefore unable to use the trump cards he had stored in his storage reserved for Eren.
The white-haired flying summoner knew what Rupen was thinking thanks to his soul sense. The guy wanted him to come down and attack him personally so he could use his special artifacts on him.
The butcher just smirked and watched Rupen get exhausted by his summoned creatures. He drank another vial of mana recovery potion to keep up with the excessive consumption.
Rupen looked in Lambert's direction in shock when the latter was put to sleep by another female treant. He could sense that both of his team members were still alive and taken hostage. And that made him even more fearful of the butcher.
Rupen had a cold shiver run down his spine when he started imagining the horrors Eren could inflict on them. He had seen the Grim Pillar Eren had erected for the House Remus too. He knew nothing positive would come out of getting kidnapped by such a vile evil ranker like Eren.
Rupen decided to commit suicide as a last resort. Sadly for him, Eren read these thoughts as soon as Rupen thought of them.
Eren landed on the ground at a distance from Rupen. The latter was still battling with a bunch of his summoned creatures while keeping an eye on him.
Sin of Wrath
Eren used his Sin Series Ability without summoning the domain. He injected the existing woodland creatures with wrath mana and made them more aggressive, making their attacks even more potent.
Lambert didn't even get the chance to commit suicide. The wrath-powered woodland creatures overwhelmed him so quickly that he had his eyes closed before he could figure out the changes behind them.
The wrath-powered female treant tried to suck more life essence out of Rupen's body than she was told to. The guy would have perished if Eren hadn't forcefully dispersed her.
When Eren realized that the battle was over, he put his weapons away. He had successfully managed to take three rankers from the Blood Punisher Force hostage.
"Hmm. Now... what should I do with them?"
