Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 424 Kill Steal

The attack still damaged his hair and gave him a weird haircut though.

"Aaaa... Oooooooooooogh!"

He cried in pain again, loudly at first before the cry beca suppressed. Altashia was confused by it. Surely, a berserker like him shouldn't cry about his hair getting cut mid-battle. But then she adjusted her specs in a geeky way and looked at the scene carefully.

Eren had appeared in between the two opponents and was seen standing over the axe that had struck Sid in his shoulder. With his other foot, the butcher had practically stepped on Sid's face. It suppressed his scream because the heel of Eren's footwear was right inside the berserker's mouth.

The wound on Sid's shoulders worsened because Eren had stepped on the axe with his other foot. In addition, he refused to allow Sid to relieve the pain by putting his shoes in his mouth. If Sid could die of embarrassnt and uncontrollable anger, he would have died many tis by now.

"Purple Reaver!"

Eren used the heel of the foot that was placed over the axe as an axis and spun rapidly before launching his weapon attack. As Sid was unable to anticipate an attack from the orc leader, the latter was also unable to anticipate an attack from soone like Eren right when he thought he had the berserker.

Eren had used the sa diversion tactics the Orc Leader had employed. He had used Sid as the bait to launch a surprise attack on the orc– knowing full well that his teammate was going to get brutally injured because of this. But the sa tactic allowed him to cut both of Orc Leader's arms off in one swift attack.

Breeeeeeeee!

This ti it was the orc's turn to wailing in agony. His eyes turned red and his already-opened mouth opened exaggeratedly as he looked hatefully at his newest assailant. He used his movent spell to retreat while gilding the nearby golems that were surrounding the trio to attack both of the human rankers.

"You are on your own now."

Eren said to nobody in particular. But the one the ssage was ant for heard it loud and clear. The next mont, Eren disappeared from his position.

'Eren oh Eren… how can you be so petty even during the battle? Hehehe!'

Altashia laughed when she saw what had unfolded on the battlefield. She had to admit that the butcher had indeed saved the guy's life. But he had also made sure that the berserker received his not-so-subtle response to all the slanders Sid had thrown at him.

Next, she saw Eren focusing on the retreating Orc Leader. He now had a bunch of fire snakes surrounding him that followed him in his pursuit. They would engage with any golem coming his way– allowing him to continue the chase.

The battle progressed as both of Altashia's teammates gained their advantage back. Soon, Eren disappeared from his position and appeared right in front of the now-handicapped orc, like so ghost.

Swish!

An orc was decapitated the next mont while Eren was seen spinning in front of the now-cut body like a mini fire and lightning typhoon. Blood gushed forth in a fountain and reached for the sky before bathing the butcher in its shower. At least that appeared to be the case.

But the monster's blood fell to the ground without touching any part of the butcher's body. It was then made clear that the mini typhoon was an afterimage and Eren had again disappeared from his position.

'Hmm. Roo Roo, did you an to say that Eren is as good as as a ranker?

It's unbelievable that he has progressed so much in the way of the elents at his age without any firm background. He is indeed admirable.

Sorry for doubting you, dear. Hehe! You are a good boy!'

Croak! Croak! Croak!

The baby crow started croaking frantically as if he had sothing to add to his owner's assumption. But all he received was a gentle tap on its head. So it stopped croaking and indulged in being petted by its master.

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

There was another human ranker Vs Ord Leader battle going on in the other corner of the battlefield. It was between earth-elent ranker Lyon and a hamr-wielding monster who had a diamond-elent affinity.

Lyon Muff Dyke was Team Altashia's tank. Although he had one of the most common elental affinities, his inherent nature 'Absorb and Repel' made him special. He could create walls and use them to defend himself and his teammates just like any other earth elental tank. But instead of hardened walls, the walls produced by Lyon were more rubber-like.

His inherent nature had allowed him to use his opponent's physical attacks on him. Any attack that was sustained by one of his walls would be converted into a stationary force inside the wall by it getting depressed at the point of impact. Then it would release a burst of dense mana pulse from the sa spot the attack had landed on. This dense mana pulse was powered by the opponent's force itself.

Lyon would convert that mana pulse into a spectral punch by coating his earth elental mana over it. This way, the opponent would be forced to fight with themselves every ti they fought with the tank.

The Orc Leader that was battling with Lyon was frustrated by now. He had various blunt injuries on his body even though he had a diamond-elental defence spell active. This was because his offence as a diamond elent monster was much more prominent than his defence.

Lyon observed the situation at hand and thought that what he had done so far in playing safe was good enough. Now he needed to wrap up his battle.

For the first ti since the start of the battle, Lyon summoned his weapon– a pair of runic gauntlets. The runic details shined when the tank put them on. He struck his fists at each other before launching an attack on the ground.

Lyon struck the ground with his fists with an exceptional force that seed to be generated out of nowhere– with no montum backing it up. And yet, the ground didn't seem to have gotten affected. The force just seed to have seeped right into the ground without leaving any trace behind. It only generated a light mana pulse as a response and the ground beneath his feet seed to have turned jelly. But that was it.

But the next thing the diamond-elent monster saw was that his vision was changing as he was taking a flight in the air. His nervous system took so ti to process the impact. But the next thing he felt was a huge force ramming just below his chin, which was the reason behind the guy's sudden flight.

'Hehehehe! It always gets them.'

Lyon thought to himself and chuckled as he watched his opponent getting thrown off about 30 feet in the air. Now he only needed to give a finishing blow to the orc.

But then, he opened his eyes wide as he saw sothing. He made an unsightly face as he shouted at sobody that was also seen in the air like a ghost just behind the in-flight orc.

"Damn it, Eren! No kill-stealing, you **** thief."
