Chapter 1624 Dragonoid Vs Dragonoid

"All seven of them," Eren replied nonchalantly.

"I… I was right. This man… he has all seven Sin Series Marks on his soul," Eliza received another shock from Eren.

"How is that possible? How is his soul not destroyed by now? Even during the Calamity Era, the number of demonic Rankers who could carry more than two Sin Series Marks on their souls were considered elites. I was the only one here in Anfang who could wield three Marks.

I was told that even outside Anfang, the demonic Rankers who could wield four Sin Series Marks on their soul without losing their ident.i.ty in the process could be counted on one"s fingers and considered as the true demons.

Then what would they say to this brat who has all seven of the Sin Series Marks on him?"

Eliza felt like laughing sardonically at the number of times Eren had managed to astonish her. This was the first time she felt as if she was nothing special compared to Eren.

Eliza felt that her soul was bound to face the repercussions after the battle because her pride was genuinely hurt. But she suppressed the feelings of inferiority for the time being before they could consume her mind.

Eren pressed his lips together in contemplation before responding to Eliza.

"I indeed received all seven of the Sin Series Marks. But I think you are mistaken about something here. The seven Sin Marks have little impact on the way I feel about things. Err… I mean they can only affect me when I allow them to," Eren said and smiled.

"It"s not because I became what I am today because I received all seven Sin Series Marks. It"s because I am like this that all the seven Sin Series Marks were accepted by my soul," Eren said and canceled the weapon-like transformation of his limbs.

In the next moment, Eren opened the palm of his right hand and summoned Asura in its regular form. He changed into his Berserker Cla.s.s before commenting further.

"It"s simple really. My emotions don"t control me. I control my emotions.

That being said, it is easy for me to feel wrath and hate towards you if I allow my mind to feel. But I guess… be careful what you wish for."

Eren said in a casual voice before closing his eyes. When he opened them in the next moment, Eliza could sense boundless wrath within him directed towards her.

Mark of the Seven Sins: Domain of Wrath

The Wrath Mana domain was subconsciously deployed by Eren when he allowed himself to feel the rage directed toward Eliza. It was as if he had willingly flipped a switch inside him that made him suddenly cultivate the emotions of anger and revenge.

"Can he really be called a Demonic Ranker at this point? I doubt even the Seven Demon Princes would be more demonic than this man."

Eliza asked herself as she started harnessing her Wrath Mana as well. She could tell that there was a sudden mood s.h.i.+ft within Eren. she could instinctively feel that this was not very good news for her.

What Eliza didn"t realize was the fact that once Eren allowed himself to be consumed by the feelings of Wrath, it was very difficult to flip the switch inside him and come back to his usual self. It was as if Eren had a tap inside him that was easy to open and difficult to close.

Without a moment"s delay, Eliza activated her dragonoid form, growing draconic scales over her skin. Her stature increased and her aura intensified. She grew a tail behind her that could act independently. Her limbs were injected with draconic strength and her soul felt a little less troubled than before.

"This… the headache vanished after I used my bloodline Ability to partially transform. I get it now. The vessel"s original soul... It can"t contend to take over my body if I use my bloodline Abilities to transform."

Eliza finally realized the trump card she was looking for. A knowing smile graced her lips when she realized things had finally started to work out for her.

After using the dragonoid form against Demonmir, Eliza was a bit hesitant to use it against Eren because of the kind of pressure it put on her body as the aftereffect. However, if Eliza could fight Eren peacefully without having to worry about how she should suppress a foreign soul fused within her, she could really bring out her A-game.

Swoosh. Zoom. Boom.

The Berserker Cla.s.s Eren and Eliza clashed with each other once again. This time, Eliza was able to push Eren back by 100 meters with her pure physical force alone. She didn"t let Eren have a breather and followed right behind him.

Clang. Clang. Clang.

It was now Eren"s turn to go on the defensive as Eliza launched her a.s.sault with fearsome draconic might. Each of her sword strikes cut through the Earth Walls Eren had created around him in defense. She let her sword slashes cut through his elemental summons and effortlessly breached his safe zone.

"Hmmm!"

Eren groaned in pain. Eliza"s sword had managed to lodge through his abdomen and carve out a part of his flesh, making Eren flesh above his right waist. It also made his right thigh vanish into thin air as it was separated from his body and consumed by the Enderflames.

Since Eren could use his severed flesh to mend his wounds, Eliza had decided to destroy him bit by bit. She decided to hack Eren"s body part by part before burning away his flesh pieces, not allowing him to heal himself as quickly as before. She also injected her Wrath Mana into the wounds, causing a more potent form of Foreign Mana Invasion than before. 

Before he could effectively make use of his Wrath Mana or his Berserker Cla.s.s, Eliza in her dragonoid form had managed to overpower him effortlessly. For some reason, she was even stronger than before when she had fought with Demonmir in her dragonoid form earlier.

Eliza realized during mid-battle that the curse of soul fusion Eren had embedded within her was also a form of blessing when it came to using her bloodline transformations. This was because she had to fight another battle with the beastly consciousness within her bloodline to be in complete control of herself. It was part of the bloodline shackles after all.

However, Lady Zee"s soul had become an anchor that allowed her to keep her senses and not get consumed by the beastly consciousness. And since Lady Zee was not a half-blood when she died, her soul could not contend to take control of her body. As such, all of Eliza"s debuffs were removed by default and her perks were enhanced.

Blink.

Eren disappeared from his position before Eliza could hurt him more. He looked even more battered and b.l.o.o.d.y than before. It was as if a surgery had gone horribly wrong and his body was missing flesh from various parts as a result.

"Fufufufu. Little kitten, I feel great now," Eliza chuckled as she saw Eren appear at a safe distance away from her. "Why are you running away from me now? This is where the real battle begins you see," she said as she leisurely walked towards Eren.

"Yeah?" Eren seemed unbothered despite the kind of grievous injuries Eliza had inflicted on him. "Then I guess I need to get serious as well," Eren said in a cold and callous voice, a sight of him that he was yet to bring out in the battle.

In the next moment, he summoned his Hex gear set and transformed similarly as Eliza.

"No… no f.u.c.king way," Eliza"s confidence felt a tremor of uncertainly once again when she saw what Eren had transformed into. Even without harnessing the draconic bloodline, he had transformed into a draconic being.

Eren had also transformed to become a dragnoid.
