Chapter 204: Concede

‘Ok. That’s enough to get a sense of how things are. Reen, prepare yourself.

Faux beast contract spell.’

Eren shouted in his head as he saw Ivor’s fist drawing close to him. Reen started the job she was assigned to do and Eren’s transformation started taking place.

Eren didn’t expect the beast contract spell would elevate one’s body stats to this level. Otherwise, he would have executed the beast-contract spell long ago.

Eren’s transformation followed the same route Ivor’s had. His skin had manifested scales that were nearly identical to the one Ivor had.

Eren somehow got out of the opponent’s attacking zone for the time being. Then he used his buffed movement speed to create a distance between the ranker, his beast, and himself to complete the transformation.

Eren transformed a touch quicker than Ivor, which could be attributed to the former’s mastery and compatibility with the spell. He too started looking like a snake-man clad in lightning.

Then there were his elevated body stats. Reen had done a fine job mimicking the effects of the beast contract spell. Because he knew she could have jumped overboard and boosted his body stats more than the spell allowed for. But she didn’t do that. Instead, she had chosen to keep it as real as it was possible.

‘Your pet is quite capable of listening to your orders.’

Eren suddenly heard Alephee’s remark on Reen doing her job well. But he ignored it. Because the snake and its master were drawing close.

The purple lightning snake was first to arrive.

Eren again dodged the snake’s biting attack and decided to counter it with his attack. Ivor was running in his direction too. So he was the one to execute the Blitz Storm this time just as Ivor got within the range.

The AoE kicked off with Eren as the centre. The beast with mana body got the most brunt of it. Ivor was relatively safe but this was still a significant blow to him.

Eren finally decided to end the task of testing the beast contract spell’s effect by getting serious with Ivor. he knew Alphee’s buffs wouldn’t last long. So he needed to wrap this battle soon.

The next couple of moments were kind of a blur for Ivor. That was because Eren had suddenly burst with exceptional power and control over his beast contract spell. It almost felt like he could be close to being an E-Ranker.

Eren returned every punch and blow he was dealt with. He too beat Osan Jr. to a sorry state before launching the Blitz Bolt over his face to finally neutralize him.

Eren had to admit Osan Jr. had a monstrous talent. It looked like Eren had an upper hand in the battle. And he did. After considering his battle history from his previous timeline, he was projected to win by a wide margin against the guy.

Yet Ivor Osan had closed the gap pretty well using his time and resources. Plus he had Isen Osan behind him backing him up. Not to forget the fact that Ivor was extremely talented.

Eren knew that he would have been long beaten to a pulp even if he had the same elevated perception of time he was feeling when dealing with Ivor. if he didn’t have his experience, Eren knew Ivor would have come out on top even with all his buffs remaining active.

Ivor collapsed on the ground not long after Eren decided to end his battle. One could say that Ivor’s agony that came with the realization of not being the leading lightning-element close combat expert of his generation would keep his mood foul for days on end.

But Ivor was not the only one who was neutralized by his opponent. There were sounds of another two bodies dropping on the ground. Eren looked in the direction of the sound and found out that his team’s berserker and ranger had been finally neutralized by Jason.

Jason too looked at Eren and then all the unconscious bodies laying around the battle ring. If this was a real fight, Eren would have the most number of kills by now.

But that didn’t prevent Jason from approaching the guy.

“You were as good as I thought you would be, Eren. However, if you kept swimming in the small pond, you would always remain an average nobody. Before we resume our battle again, I was wondering if we could chat for a while when the match gets over?”

Jason asked Eren with stoic expressions. But alas, a certain someone was in the mood to talk:

“We might meet, Jason. But that won’t be today. Let’s just get this shit over with.”

Jason heard Eren’s reply and sighed. The guy was still as slippery as an eel even now. The least he could do was show him that there was a sky above the sky.

Jason soon geared up another intensive battle. He prepared his mana circuits to cast his go-to spells. Eren made a statement just as he was about to attack. Not to him. But to the referee of the match.

“I wish to forfeit White Raven Crew’s win after my team’s active participation. The reason being is that I’m bloody, beaten, and exhausted.”

Eren said nonchalantly and then looked at Jason who was too stunned to reply anything. Almost half the people in the audience wanted to fight with him because of his exceptional performance and some guiding words he would offer sporadically to his opponents.

What Eren had said was an only half-truth. He was indeed bloody and beaten. But he could have still carried on with the match. Or at least tried to play another round with him.

‘I should just stay as far away as I can from this guy.’

Thought Eren as he started to walk towards unconscious Renita to check up on her. This was after the referee approved his request. This was the first time White Raven Crew had conceded a match of its initiative. And it would be it’s last as well.
