Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Novel

Chapter 1544 Lazarus: "You Dare to Mock This Prince?"

Hmmmmmmm!

The very air vibrated as Garos expressed his Elemental Attainments in the most threatening form.

This sudden surge in atmospheric pressure was incredibly painful for Argo. It felt as though he was being crushed under the weight of the deep sea's water, rendering him incapable of swimming or ascending to the surface. The bone-crushing pressure caused Argo to cough up blood and tore through his skin and flesh.

Garos' control over his Water Element Attainments was near perfection for his Sage Rank. However, even he couldn't help killing off a few Rankers surrounding him and Argo as he tapped into his powers vigorously in order to suppress the enemy. The Rankers who died left behind completely hideous forms of remains behind.

It looked as if a bunch of giant tomatoes had been pressured into pulps all around the two S-Ranked entities.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

"Aaaaaargh!"

Argo unleashed a piercing scream and channeled his newfound S-Ranked powers, breaking free from the ethereal restraints imposed by Garos.

Suddenly, the gem nestled in Garos's pendant shattered, and Argo regained his mobility. The gem had evidently been the source of his confinement.

Argo, fueled by newfound strength, lashed out at Garos, wounding the Sage's arm with raw physical force. His claw-like fingers pierced skin and flesh, drawing blood. The potent aura surrounding Argo intensified as he invoked Beelzebub's Soul Fragment within him.

Garos remained stoic, even after sustaining a serious injury, and calmly shifted to his second line of attack when the first had failed to subdue Argo. He summoned a translucent barrier of water-element mana that isolated him and Argo.

Then, he conjured two colossal arms from water-element mana. They mirrored the form of his actual limbs but acted independently as they advanced toward Argo. With a swift, brutal motion, the water arms tore Argo's limbs from his shoulders.

"Aaaaargh!"

Argo howled in agony as blood streamed from his grievous injuries. While Eren had met a relatively peaceful end at Garos' hands due to his pitiful Master-ranked abilities, Argo was not as helpless.

Having the bare minimum ability to survive the torture! Argo's S-Rank powers had become a source of prolonged torment at the hands of Garos's dominance.

Garos was on the verge of crushing Argo entirely with his overwhelming powers. But before he could continue his assault, the atmosphere darkened as an ominous demonic aura engulfed the entire battlefield. Argo had successfully summoned Beelzebub, and the demon was now heeding his call.

"Puny human, you dare to mock this Prince?"

Argo's painful expressions suddenly turned somber as he looked in Garos' direction. He spoke in a voice that didn't sound like his own. His eyes shone with blood red in color.

Argo suddenly stopped struggling. He disregarded the pain that was induced by two missing arms and looked at Garos as if he was looking at a mere ant.

It was clear that Beelzebub's consciousness had taken over Argo. as a result of this, Anfang's World Will was agitated. It was soon about to make its presence known in the battlefield to suppress Beelzebub from interfering in the affairs related to Anfang.

Beelzebub's consciousness was still hazy and the connection with Argo had not been properly established. However, it instinctively knew that the man standing in front of him was his enemy. As such, Beelzebub decided to take action.

Mouths of Gluttony!

Beelzebub's consciousnesses that was currently occupying Argo's body easily separated himself from Garos' clutches. Using the Mouths of Gluttony that had appeared out of nowhere, Argo devoured his own two arms that had fallen to the ground and generated new arms for himself.

In the next moment, Garos lost his right arm without there being an injury on his body. It was as if the very concept of Garos having an arm was devoured by someone. Garos looked like he had no right arm ever since his birth.

"Aaaaaargh! You vile demon!"

For the first time in centuries, Garos let out an excruciating scream as an ethereal claw, composed entirely of Gluttony Mana, was summoned and directed towards him.

When the assault concluded, the left lower part of Garos' torso, left hip, and his partial upper leg region were nowhere to be found, as though a portion of his body had been devoured by the very space he occupied. This time, there were gruesome injuries and Garos' internal organs were exposed. It was only because of his Sage-ranked body that he could still function.

In a fraction of a second, the tables were turned, and Garos looked as if he'd been struck and mauled by a massive force. All of this occurred while Beelzebub's consciousness had not yet fully taken control of Argo's body.

But just before Argo could execute his next move to finish Garos or give complete control to Beelzebub, a sword with an unusual length impaled Argo's heart.

Swoosh. Zoom. Pierce.

Another individual had stepped into the fray during the confrontation between Garos and Argo. This individual, a Sage sharing the same Ranking Status as Garos, had been dispatched by the Anfang Alliance to resolve the chaotic situation.

This newly appeared Sage was as cunning as he was powerful. He didn't say anything to anyone in advance or even let Garos know of his position or plan. He just attacked when he saw the right moment and window of opportunity, taking Argo and even Beelzebub by surprise.

The man who appeared behind Argo seemed to be in his prime, likely in his 50s. He held a remarkably long sword blade without a hilt, grasping it with both hands. The blade had penetrated Argo's heart, causing more blood to flow.

The man's Sage-ranked mana began to wreak havoc inside Argo's body, with the blade acting as a conduit for its direct infusion.

Argo had already suffered numerous injuries before arriving on the battlefield to meet Eren. Traces of mana still lingered within Argo's body, leading to a Foreign Mana Invasion.

He had managed to keep these injuries and conditions at bay, primarily due to his robust S-Ranked beastly vessel's foundation. However, as soon as the Anfang Alliance's man successfully harmed him, all of Argo's accumulated injuries resurfaced to torment him.

All of this had been transpired within only a few seconds after Eren's death. Yet, to the audience, it looked as if they were watching the shocking events unfold in front of them for hours on end.
