Chapter 504 Enhanced Stats

"Perfect!"

The butcher spoke out loud and flashed a cunning smile. He had an inkling that if he targets any capable lightning or fire element ranker, his attainment, as well as his ranking status, would take a huge boost. But he hadn't expected that it would be to this extent.

"Just what I was in dire need of. Wish there were more guys like this stupid fuck."

Eren looked at a broken armour when he said that. It was the same armour Sid had worn. It had been broken due to the wearer's body shape changing all of a sudden. Eren didn't want to use Sid's armour anyway since it was as risky as it was unneeded for him.

Eren then summoned his status window to take a look at his gains.

'Unbelievable! This puny jackass gave me the same boost those Draconic Lizards had given me at that time when I had used Life Drain on their gigantic bodies.

How… How is this possible? This defies the logic that was already unconventional in my case.'

Eren felt happy and puzzled at the same time. His puzzlement only grew when he looked at his status window carefully.

'What is this? I now have a beast contract spell? Red Lightning Bull? When did that happen? HOW did that happen?'

Eren scratched his chin as tried to remember the state he was in. He could only conclude that he had managed to make the most out of his Sins series ability by angering his victim to no end. He had robbed Sid of all his possessions by taking the beast contract spell from him as well.

'Hmm. I can't use this beast contract spell openly even if I want to. That asshole's disappearance and my usage of the same contract beast as him would raise suspicions. On that matter, I won't be able to use red lightning openly either. At least not right away.'

Eren sighed and concluded that he would gradually make his gains known to people around him. But he needed to test a few things out. Therefore, he clenched his fists and executed multiple spells on both his arms at once.

Purple Blitz Bolt

Red Blitz Bolt

Purple Blitz Shield

Red Blitz Shield

Eren stacked his two spells. And used two different attainments of lightning on each of those, enabling him to virtually execute four spells. Yet, his mana circuits weren't as stressed as they should have been.

'This… this is great. These spells are only stressing my mana consumption. And yet, it is not something I need to be overly worried about. I can use them just fine without having to do any tests.

Heh! This dickface gave me a huge reward!'

Eren couldn't stop smiling when he saw the effects of purple and red lightning spells getting executed by him simultaneously. This was the reason why high-ranking entities focused on the elemental attainments more than fussing over progression in their ranking status. They had come to realize with personal experience that the ranking status would follow suit eventually when one keeps on progressing in the way of their elements.

The progression in the elemental attainment did not only have far fetched gains. They also provided the gains that could be used and implemented as soon as they are made.

For example, a high enough progression in the way of the elements not only enhanced the spell's output but could also make it produce altered output based on varying attainment. If the ranker practised multiple aspects of the same elements, they would be able to cast the same spell with different effects.

Eren ended his thought process and looked around him. There were hardly any signs of battle. He destroyed the overly visible traces with his spells. For the residual man signatures that could be tracked, he had a cure ready in his arsenal.

Eren started pouring vials after vials of potion in various places that had signs of battle. This was the potion Layla had created using team Claho's corpses. It was meant to traumatize the historians if and when they tried to get a read on what happened at the place that was affected by the potion.

The potion contained an abominable mana signature that was the fusion of all the dead bodies of team Claho Layla had put in her witchy cauldron. She had added extra ingredients so that the abominated mana signature starts affecting historians when they cast investigative spells.

Layla's potion was an insidious move on historians. The historians that were employed in investigating the team Claho's disappearance had varying degrees of mental attacks depending upon their ranking status and mastery over their historian class spells.

Even high-ranking entities weren't immune to the effect. It was just that they could shrug off the effects of using the means available to them. But the result was the same no matter which historian it was. They couldn't make heads or tails of the area affected by the potion's effects.

Eren was so impressed by the potion's effects that he named it Potion of Innocence. The moment he confirmed the potion's effects were genuine, all he could say to Layla was "shut up and take my money".

The butcher a drop of such a potion was enough to secure a circumference of hundreds of meters. This was how potent Layla had made the potion to be. Plus, the sheer number of Team Claho members that were boiled and concocted by Layla was enough for the potion to have some serious punch.

Eren was so impressed by the potion's effects that he named it Potion of Innocence. The moment he confirmed the potion's effects were genuine, all he could say to Layla was "shut up and take my money".

Eren knew this was a must-have potion he should have on his person at all times. After all, he never knew when he had to act like the butcher he was.
