Chapter 1363 Beastly Fury
Chapter 1363 Beastly Fury
Eren stood firm in the face of his adversaries, a total of nine opponents, including the formidable Lysa.
They moved with precision and displayed remarkable teamwork, coordinating their attacks to create a seamless flow of offense and defense. Each opponent supported one another, skillfully covering their comrades and alternating their positions to maintain a relentless assault on Eren.
Lysa, utilizing her expertise in battle formations, bolstered the defenses of her teammates who dared to engage Eren directly. This came at a cost, weakening those who were forced to remain in the defensive position.
Two of Eren's enemies donned sturdy armor, reinforced by layers of mana defense granted by the battle formation. They stood as a formidable front, determined to withstand Eren's onslaught.
Meanwhile, the remaining adversaries unleashed a barrage of mid-range and long-range attacks. Eren found himself engulfed in a storm of flying weapon slashes, accompanied by a volley of arrows released from crossbows and bows. It seemed as though he was being drenched in a torrent of diverse and potent assaults from every direction.
Eren's Wrath mana surged forth, its malevolent energy infecting any opponent unfortunate enough to come into contact with it. The wounds inflicted by Eren's Labrys festered, the Wrath mana wreaking havoc within their bodies, disrupting their mana circuits in a relentless assault.
It was only because of the battle formation that they could put up such a fight against Eren even after he had worn the Hex gear. Despite the onslaught, Eren's Hex armor remained impregnable, deflecting and absorbing multiple powerful attacks.
However, the sheer force behind the relentless strikes, amplified by the battle formation's buffing effect, began to take its toll on Eren. The armor, though sturdy, started to yield, inflicting blunt force injuries upon him. With each intensified blow, Eren's form underwent a profound transformation.
This was when the butcher decided to wake up the Hex spirit within the gear. A spectral manifestation of a large red bear materialized, lending an air of primal danger to his already imposing presence. It was as if Eren himself had become a fearsome mana beast, ready to unleash untamed fury upon his adversaries.
As the crimson-red bear's soul surged within, a resounding roar echoed from the depths of Eren's being, reverberating through the battlefield. The presence of the bear's essence permeated his consciousness, melding with his own identity. Aware of the influence of the Hex Artifact, Eren willingly relinquished control of his body, allowing the primal instincts of the bear's soul to guide his movements on the field.
With a swift flicker, the Labrys in Eren's hands vanished, replaced by the imposing sight of his transformed bear paws. His once-human nails extended into lethal bear claws, gleaming with a crimson hue that hinted at their deadly purpose. Each claw spanned a meter in length, resembling naked blades honed for battle.
As the spectral form of the bear materialized more tangibly, Eren's stature expanded, his size once again transcending his previous boundaries. He felt a peculiar detachment, as if he had switched to autopilot while piloting a flying artifact.
It was an otherworldly sensation as if he had become a foreigner in his own body while simultaneously embracing the feral instincts that surged through his veins. With each step, Eren's movements mirrored those of a large and menacing red bear prowling the domain of Lysa's battle formation.
The bellowing roar that erupted from the bear's throat reverberated through the air, rattling the eardrums of Eren's adversaries. The sheer power imbued within his mana-infused voice was enough to send shockwaves of terror coursing through the hearts of those unfortunate enough to stand in his path.
The battlefield quaked beneath the weight of this transformed being, a creature driven by instinct, determination, and the fierce power of the crimson-red bear. As Eren closed in on his opponents, a primal aura enveloped him, an unyielding force that would bring about a tempest of destruction upon those who dared to stand against him. The clash of his claws against armor and the reverberating roars filled the battlefield, leaving an indelible mark on the memories of all who witnessed this fearsome spectacle.
The ground beneath quaked, yielding to the relentless onslaught of the bear's thunderous charge. With unstoppable momentum, the colossal creature closed the distance, closing in on an opponent who desperately sought escape. In a display of immense strength, the bear effortlessly seized the man by the back of his neck, its grip unyielding.
With lightning-quick precision, the bear's free hand launched a ferocious assault upon the man's exposed back, its razor-sharp claws slicing through flesh and sinew with chilling ease. A shrill cry pierced the air as the bear's claws cleaved through the man's body, akin to a hot knife effortlessly cutting through butter, rending him asunder.
Yet, even after the victim's death, the bear's relentless fury persisted, undeterred by the lifeless form it held. Ignoring the onslaught of attacks raining upon its crimson fur, the bear continued its brutal assault, undeterred by pain or hesitation.
With primal strength, the bear seized the mangled body, tearing the head from its shattered frame. With a fearsome display of power, the severed head became a projectile, hurtling through the air with unimaginable force, creating a thunderous boom that reverberated through the battlefield. The gruesome impact struck its intended target, piercing flesh and tearing through the man's abdomen, leaving behind a gaping hole of devastation.
Still consumed by its relentless bloodlust, the red bear showed no signs of satiation. Summoning the Labrys once more, it deftly wielded the massive weapon with a single hand, displaying an uncanny mastery that transcended its bestial form.
Unlike Eren, the bear executed the intricate maneuvers of the Axe Arts effortlessly, its free hand ready for swift and calculated maneuvers, adding an element of agility and adaptability to its already overwhelming might.
A chilling aura of horror gripped Lysa's heart as she bore witness to the gruesome spectacle unfolding before her eyes. The red bear, now an embodiment of relentless savagery, unleashed its devastating power upon her hapless teammates. It was as if the attacks that had once troubled Eren were now rendered utterly futile against the wrathful beast.
Either that or the red bear simply disregarded the pain inflicted upon it, pressing on with its relentless assault.
