Chapter 558 Digesting Gains

Eren had been prioritizing dealing with Langdon while not forgetting to keep tabs on Tim. Plus, his contract bull also shared updates with him in real-time.

"Aaaaaaaargh!"

The white flames that the animated beast had cast from its mouth had found a target that was not meant for its attack. After being electrocuted, Langdon was now roasted by his teammate.

'Now's the time.'

The butcher thought to himself before drawing the space-element dagger from his storage space. He gripped its hilt hard and pursed his lips. Then he looked at his targets cruelly before driving the dagger through his heart.

Argh!

The butcher grunted in pain when the tip of the dagger pierced his heart without leaving a mark on his body. When he opened his eyes, they had changed their color. His hair started turning white and tribal tattoos appeared all over his torso.

Mark of the Seven Sins: Domain of Wrath

The butcher activated his sins series ability and targeted Langdon who had suffered the most in his attacks. And since he was also attacked by Tim who had gotten a bit distracted dealing with Ertaur, the butcher guessed that it wouldn't take long for him to convert Langdon into a creature of wrath. For all his miseries, the guy had to be angry about someone or something.

"Aaaaaaah"

In the next moment, Langdon's anger peaked and he started turning. The butcher thought that Langdon would be angry with him for subjecting him to such hardships. Tim for not retracting his attack. But he was angriest at himself for sticking with Tim despite his initial plan of withdrawing from the scene. Only now did he understand the warning given to both of them by the butcher at the very beginning.

Just like that, a creature of wrath was created at the scene, leaving Tim dumbfounded and scared when he looked at the process. Even with the animated beasts surrounding him, he didn't feel safe anymore.

***************

Tim Westmoor was getting tortured to no end.

"Aaaaaargh!"

A mournful cry sounded from Tim's mouth as his right hand's fingers were first bitten clean off by his raid partner. He then chewed them up while looking like he was enjoying them.

The next to be served as food for the creature of wrath was his left hand's fingers. This time, the creature of wrath didn't have to do the grunt work. The butcher had chopped them off from him using his sword.

Tim was lying down in his pool of blood. There were a lot of sword cuts he had suffered all over his body. The creature of wrath was sitting over his chest, drooling with his hideous mouth open wide.

Ertaur the red lightning bull was standing not too far away from Eren. He was prepared to use his Red Bull Rush once again in case Tim tries to pull something off despite his depleted and damaged mana core.

"Aaaaaargh... You monster… just... just kill… kill me."

Tim spoke with a fit of pent-up anger in his eyes. But the butcher wasn't satisfied with this level of anger. He had been keeping his domain of wrath active for quite some time now. He had fought with Tim and Langdon quite a bit since his battle with Tim and Langdon began.

The butcher also had a lot of burnt marks because of Tim's spells. His clothes had become ragged too. His White Haired Transformation had lost its edge as he looked tired and worn out battling with two rankers. Plus, he was reaching his limit before he lost control over himself and indulged in his wrath.

Eren controlled himself and looked at Tim with his red iris, which were surrounded by the red veins in his eyes. He controlled the creature of wrath and asked him to attack Tim's solar plexus next.

A wave of immeasurable pain ran through Tim's body as he felt his solar plexus being hit by the creature of wrath's brutal punch. He couldn't help but yell in agony once again. He started cursing Eren while his eyes were filled with tears. His anger at this time in the domain of wrath was unprecedented. The peak of his anger made Tim bitter about his circumstances, making him lament over his actions.

'Haaah! Finally.'

The butcher thought to himself and exhaled loudly before walking closer to Tim. He squatted near his head and kept his hand on his head before using his ability. Meanwhile, Langdon's body had reached its limit. It exploded into multiple pieces of meat before leaving a calm white flame behind.

When the butcher stood up again, both of his opponents were dead. They left their ID stones and wristbands behind them-- souvenirs for him to collect. Furthermore, two white flames were levitating around him calmly, waiting for him to get assimilated.

Eren had made sure that he angered Tim till he couldn't feel anger before using his ability on him. Therefore the flame he had left behind was the purest and calmest of the two.

He decided to consume the gains left behind by Langdon first. He raised his hand and commanded the smaller, less pure flame between the two to come to him. When it landed on his palm, it was absorbed and instantly disappeared.

Way of water!

When the butcher closed his eyes, he gained attainment in a new element he hadn't gained in either of his timelines before. As his mana core spun around rapidly, it tried to break the small barrier between it and the solid stage core of the Ace rank.

Langdon's experiences as a water-element ranker were substantial. As a ranker who had stayed till the finals in the Titus competition, Langdon's achievements in his element weren't to be scoffed at.

A cloud of Ace rank mana was created around the butcher once again. He also kept on processing the water-element attainment with his eyes closed as he tried to progress further in his ranking journey.

Eren's burn marks were healed first. His now shoulder-length white hair was moving in the wind as a gentle gale was caressing it. Then his internal organs were nourished and his fatigue was taken care of. His almost empty mana storage was also replenished as if he had practiced his ranking technique with 100x speed.

And yet…

Sigh!

Eren opened his eyes after a while when he digested the gains coming from Langdon. Having failed to break into the solid stage, he sighed in disappointment.

'Never mind. I still have this.'

The disappointment on Eren's face was washed away when he looked at the flame that Tim had left behind. He couldn't help but smile mildly as a result.
