Chapter 1408 Sedating Gaze's Failure: Dragonkind's Spiritual Might

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

The wind-element arrows whistled through the air, creating an illusion of countless projectiles converging on the wyvern from every direction.

Renita's mastery over the wind-element had unlocked a unique Aspect, enabling her arrows to replicate themselves just moments before striking the target. Each arrow multiplied into two or three replicas, a mesmerizing display of precision and power.

But the true marvel was what happened upon impact. Upon piercing the wyvern's scaly hide, the wind-element mana of the arrows that had found itself inside the beast's body multiplied once again as a form of foreign mana invasion, unleashing a chain reaction of destructive force within the creature's body.

This was no ordinary attack; it was a symphony of elemental destruction. Even Nira Nightshade would have taken Renita as her disciple upon seeing the latter's potential.

In the past, Renita's attacks had been impressive, yet the additional damage dealt was limited. With her regular artifacts, the beast's formidable defenses proved challenging to overcome. However, the introduction of Nira Nightshade's transcendent-grade bow changed everything. The bow enhanced Renita's attacks to new heights, breaking through the beast's near-impregnable draconic skin and inflicting cellular-level damage.

As the wind-element arrows found their marks, the wyvern roared in agony, its once-imposing form now struggling under the relentless assault of Renita's attacks. The sheer intensity of her assault left the creature reeling, its ability to retaliate greatly hindered.

With Renita's wind-element arrows striking with devastating precision, the beast found itself staggered and vulnerable. Eren, a skilled Ranger himself, provided cover fire with his own crossbow, aiming for the wyvern's exposed weak spots created by Renita's barrage of attacks.

As the battle raged on, Renita's confidence grew, and she allowed herself to be consumed by the flow of combat. She moved with grace and precision, never missing a shot, and drawing on the bow's strength to augment her spells. The battlefield became a canvas of explosive power and strategic maneuvers, with Renita at the heart of the storm.

Amidst the chaos, she stole glances at Eren, who fought alongside her, his support bolstering her resolve. Their unspoken understanding and shared goals ignited a spark of determination within her, fueling her desire to push beyond her limits.

The two Rangers coordinated seamlessly, taking turns in their relentless assault from a safe distance. Each of Eren's shots was meant to deal critical damage to the enraged wyvern, who retaliated by casting devastating elemental spells in a wild display of fury.

Amidst the chaos, one of Renita's arrows found its mark, piercing through the wyvern's eyes. The beast let out a deafening roar and went berserk, its rage overpowering the elemental chains that bound it. With a mighty force, it tore the chains apart, freeing itself from their constraints.

It seemed that the wyvern had lost all sense of reasoning as it launched itself toward the source of the long-range attacks it was facing.

'This… I was waiting for this,' Eren muttered under his breath before changing his battle style yet again.

Bear's Hex Gear + Berserker Class + Wrath Mana

Eren and the mighty wyvern charged at each other with an electrifying intensity. The Hex Armor manifested around Eren, exuding an aura of power as he locked eyes with the formidable dragonkind.

Sedating Gaze𝒏𝑶𝓋𝑒𝑙𝐮𝑠𝕓.𝒞𝑶𝓂

Eren's ocular Ability ignited, turning his eyes devoid of irises. The butcher attempted to ensnare the beast's consciousness in an illusory world. However, this was no ordinary opponent; it was a dragonkind, possessing a spiritual force too immense to be easily swayed.

Sedating Gaze failed on the wyvern.

As Eren's eyes turned crimson, tears of blood streamed down his face, the pain of his Ability failing evident in his expression. The wyvern's resistance to his ocular prowess was unprecedented, leaving Eren in a state of physical and mental agony he had never experienced before.

Yet, this unexpected setback did not surprise the butcher.

He had suspected that the wyvern's vast spiritual force might surpass his Ability's influence. Dragonkinds, born with prodigious spiritual reserves, dominated other creatures through intent-based magic, casting spells of unparalleled strength. Their potency was such that conventional defenses simply crumbled in their wake.

Despite this knowledge, Eren had chosen to employ Sedating Gaze as a tactical move.

He aimed to create a momentary diversion, a brief window of opportunity amidst the beast's resistance. His ultimate objective was to unleash a lethal attack, a move he had meticulously prepared ever since he set his sights on acquiring a wyvern's soul for his Hex Gear.

As Eren charged towards the wyvern, a magnificent and otherworldly form materialized around him—a resplendent red bear, majestic and fearsome. In a mere fraction of a second, he seamlessly merged with the illusory bear, transforming into a towering and awe-inspiring beastly berserker. The bear's ethereal presence enveloped him, elevating his stature and infusing his mana with a beastly aura. The onlookers stood in stunned silence, captivated by the sudden metamorphosis.

Witnessing Eren's dramatic shift left Altashia's teammates bewildered, their minds racing to comprehend the spectacle before them. Their gazes darted between one another, seeking confirmation that what they were seeing was real. The fame of spiritual and Hex artifacts had spread far and wide due to the ongoing wars across Anfang, but none had ever heard of a Hex Gear capable of such a formidable transformation.

'This man, he sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. He has all the money and connections he needs to get something like that for himself.'

Altashia remarked, sighing as she relinquished the idea of boasting about her recent breakthrough to Master Rank in front of her man. Eren's display of power was humbling, leaving no room for vanity. His current state hinted that he could effortlessly best her, despite her higher rank. It was a testament to the vast arsenal of abilities he had at his disposal.

The battlefield crackled with energy as Eren's transformed figure charged toward the wyvern, infusing his attacks with the bear's might. In a seamless display of exceptional agility despite the overbearing physical form, the bear climbed onto the wyvern's back.

The red bear joined his hands together as he sat on the back of the wyvern's stretched neck and struck with all his might. Eren's strike reverberated with raw power, causing the wyvern to reel from the onslaught.

Eren's new form allowed him to unleash a ferocity that seemed to transcend human capabilities, and the spectators couldn't help but feel awe-struck in the presence of this seemingly invincible warrior.

Having meticulously planned his attack, Eren knew that the wyvern's neck was vulnerable from the previous barrage of long-range assaults done by his and Renita's combined efforts. It was now time to capitalize on their attacks and deliver the final blow. His majestic red bear form granted him formidable strength, and he utilized his beastly claws to exacerbate the dragon's injury, tearing through the tough draconic skin.

Sensing the imminent danger, the wyvern attempted to take flight once more, hoping to shake off the relentless assailant on its back. But Eren was not done yet. Swiftly reaching into his storage, he retrieved a vial containing a potent RDX potion– its modified form specially tailored for the use of a wyvern.

With a precise thrust, the butcher embedded the vial deeper into the wyvern's wounded neck, ensuring it couldn't escape the devastating effects of the explosive concoction.

Knowing the risks involved, Eren made a split-second decision. He jumped down from the wyvern's back and laid flat on the ground, positioning himself on his tummy.

The terrorist's heart pounded in anticipation as he waited for the sound of detonation.

Swoosh. Zoom. Boom.
