1806 Reloaded: Eren vs Nira P2
Barely two minutes had elapsed since Eren and Nira engaged in combat, each with distinct objectives in mind.
Nira aimed to capture Eren alive as a favor to Sansara Sage, while Eren fought to bring her down.
Their attacks vividly reflected their intentions; Nira's attempts were geared towards restraining Eren, while Eren's Skill executions sought to inflict serious harm if not outrightly kill her.
Fueled by berserking potential and intent-based magic, his attacks were potent enough to gravely injure an ordinary Sage Ranker in the Initial Stage.
Nira, however, was no pushover. Faced with Eren's relentless attempts to close the distance, she abandoned her bow and arrow combo, opting for a short sword in one hand and a mana gun in the other. Though unconventional, she managed to make this combination work, showcasing her adaptability.
Despite her Ranger Profession, she proved equally skilled in handling mana guns and short swords, a testament to the extensive experience she had gained over her long life as a Saint Ranker.
Nira utilized her mana gun for mid-range attacks and wielded her sword when Eren closed in. Taking the fight seriously, she ceased underestimating his attacks, recognizing the importance of capturing him alive.
When she fired her mana gun, it emitted no sound, releasing a barrage of wind-element bullets that left Eren's body riddled with holes and injuries.
Eren's berserker body fought to heal and close his wounds, countering the harm inflicted by Nira. Without robust armor and the support of berserking potions, he would have faced a severe health crisis at this point.
Nira found herself in a compromised state after an extended battle with Eren. His unpredictable attacks had caught her off guard, resulting in numerous serious injuries. Despite being a Grandmaster Ranker, Eren's potential and the lethality of his assaults were evident in his ability to harm her.
Recognizing the challenge, Nira realized that no other Grandmaster Ranker could match Lemaar's prowess. Even with three Grandmaster Rankers and seven Master Rankers among her subordinates, the chances of Lemaar surviving a concerted effort from all of them attacking together weren't negligible. To capture Eren alive, she needed to sacrifice some of her subordinates.
The ongoing conflict between Nira and Eren had transformed the battlefield into a desolate landscape, marked by flames, gusts of wind in the form of white balls, pits, rifts, and intense mana fluctuations. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
These chains weren't enough to kill Nira or harm her directly. However, upon tactical use, they could provide Eren with an opportunity to land a brutal attack on the Sage.
Furthermore, all seven of Eren's pseudo-avatars could bear one Sin Series Mark each. Eren had thus diversified his perma-clones by providing them with differing Sin Series Marks according to their needs. As such, Lemaar had been marked with Sin of Wrath to better match his Berserker Profession.
Eren's seven clones therefore presented all seven Professions and seven Sin Series Marks separately. It allowed his pseudo-avatars to access a form of Intent-based magic they had never used before.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
When she concluded that she wouldn't be able to get away from Eren's attacks on time, Nira decided to make use of the genuine flaw Eren had shown to trap her as leverage and attacked him without holding back. Eren's body was riddled with potent S-Rank mana bullets. However, he didn't let Nira's attacks stop him from attacking her.
Swoosh. Zoom. Pichuk.
Eren attacked from a weird angle. He headed towards the ground before jumping back in the air in Nira's direction. Using Unlimited Weapon Works, he managed to accelerate his spear to such an extent that Nira couldn't do anything about it. His Weapon Intent managed to breach through her Natural Mana Defense.
Eren's spear impaled Nira's right thigh before being pushed upward. It impaled her pelvic girdle and poked through the waist, almost skewering Nira as if she were a kebab. The butcher didn't stop there. He injected his Wrath Mana into the weapon mixed it with his Weapon Intent and activated forbidden runes planted within it to burst the weapon when it was lodged inside Nira's body.
The weapon imploded, and Nira's lower part of the body was burnt away. Her posterior muscles blasted off, exposing her butterfly-shaped sacrum bones of both legs. "You... vile brat!"
Nira screamed at Eren, her eyes bloodshot with the humiliation of being attacked in such a manner.
"You... you will not get away with this," she gritted her teeth before turning her gaze towards her subordinates, coldness and hate seeping through her gaze.
"What the fuck are you waiting for? Kill him. He is already half dead."
Eren's form was bloody and battered as he looked up at Nira from his lowered position. He jumped upwards, coming face to face with his opponents, and presented her with a bloody smile full of viciousness.
