"Get off of me you fucking go...!"
Tohir couldn't see what had happened to Yako because of the Igni Wave that had hidden his condition in a layer of fire-element brilliance. As a result, he thought that Tohir was simply launched into the air by Eren's attack before dragging him back with him.
Tohir was about 24 meters away from his previous position. Yako's slightly moving body was on top of him. So when the vector force finally stopped acting on both of them, Tohir tried to get Yako off of him while cursing him for his incompetence.
However, he soon realized that Yako looked at him with a horrified expression. There were tears in his eyes that reflected the two moons shining in the sky. His mouth opened and closed in succession as if he wanted to say something.
Tohir was too afraid at this point. He felt something warm drench his pants. He followed Yako's gaze and looked at Yako's half-missing abdomen.
The blood, intestines, and other muscles of the abdomen had already been either evaporated or splattered everywhere by the Igni Wave. But Yako's body still managed to drench Tohir's pants with blood.
"I...."
Yako was about to say something. But his body gave up on him before he could express his thoughts to his party members. Since Igni Wave had been detonated inside his body, the pain receptors were too overloaded for Yako to feel any pain. One could say that he died relatively at peace.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
Tohir threw Yako's body away as if it was a time bomb. He had tried to get up earlier. But his legs had suddenly lost all the strength they had within them.
Tohir had been into a fair share of brutal fights at this point in his life. He had seen a fair share of blood and gore. But he had never seen a bloodfest unfolding in front of him. All done by a single man who was approaching him one step at a time.
Eren had already killed three opponents using every trick on his sleeve. He had sent his mana circuits into hyperdrive to achieve enhanced output for his Hex spells. And that combination had paid off well. However, he was a bit out of breath and his mana circuits had been affected.
But Eren knew it was all worth it. A dragged-on fight would have been detrimental to him when he was supposed to deal with seven enemies at once. He couldn't let his enemy surround and attack him from every angle by joining forces.
Thus, Eren cranked up his offensive at the expense of feeling burnout. Long-winded, he retrieved an all-stats recovery potion and gulped it down as he continued walking toward the dart shooter ranger.
"No... stay... stay the fuck away from me... you devil!"
Tohir started panicking when he saw Eren walk towards him with his bloody visage. He then looked at the bodies of his party members and felt a shiver run down his spine.
Eren's attack was too brutal and unpredictable as a result of the Jeet Kune Do and mana-based martial arts. As a result, Eren developed a distinct form of battle style that was scary to look at for his enemies. It was only natural that his spectators stopped considering him human.
Eren spat in contempt when he heard Tohir call him a devil. However, he didn't see the need to reply to him. The ranger-in-distress spread his mana sense and waited for help to arrive.
Two presences soon surrounded Eren between 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock. Another person approached Tohir as he was trying to get away from Eren while still sitting on the ground.
"Lagartha!
Oh, Lagartha. Oh my goodness, you are still alive!"
Tohir recognized the touch he felt on his shoulder and looked back. He saw Lagartha staring at him with a concerned gaze. The guy couldn't help feeling some sort of comfort after seeing a familiar face.
Tohir felt like he was meeting Lagartha after a long long time. It was as if Tohir had been processing the nightmare unfolding in front of him with an altered perception of time.
"Killed!
That devil killed everybody.
Not even their souls would remain intact after being killed like this."
Tohir said to a grim-looking Lagartha in a shaky voice. In response, she slapped him to bring him back to reality.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Lagartha slapped her team's ranger a few more times before she saw the light of intelligence return to his eyes. Tohir finally started looking at her with his teary eyes as if he was finally seeing her for who she was.
It was hardly a minute after Mia had managed to escape from Spiders' grasp. A minute before, Eren was having a hard time dealing with his four opponents at the same time. His battle prowess was unleashed after the explosion caused by spell spamming, however. It meant that he had come up with a strategy at a moment's notice and executed it to perfection.
The battle was almost over before Lagartha could catch a breath and join her party members in killing Eren. Lagartha wasn't a newbie to being overwhelmed by the carnage unleashed right in front of her eyes by a single man. She had come to know how devious he was in using the spells in the way he had used them. He really was as devilish as Tohir was painting him to be.
However, Eren was a lot more than his devilish personality and gory image. Lagartha had taken into account everything that had happened so far and concluded that there was something off about him.
The guy was supposed to be suffering from a debuff that would make him run on fumes after the execution of a few spells in a limited capacity. Eren had used his spells in a way that didn't concern him with mana consumption.
It was as if he didn't give a damn about running out of mana right in the middle of the battle.
"You... you have some huge secret on you, don't you?"
