Chapter 1669 Terminating the Faustian Contracts by Force

Scree!

"My liege… forgive me. I… I didn't recognize you."

"My liege, I was bound by the Faustian contract into listening to those witches' orders."

The demonic beings halted in their steps as soon as Eren deployed his multi-layer domain. Some of them screeched while the others managed to form coherent sentences in demonic language.

They all looked at Eren with expressions of shock and horror, asking for his forgiveness with their words and actions. Their voices sounded demonic but the fear they felt in their hearts was no less than that of mortals.

Eren didn't have time to deal with the demons residing within the bodies of Helenbora members. He snapped his fingers and made the demons leave the shells they occupied. Some of them turned into wrath flames while the others turned into pearls of gluttony, harming the bodies of the host as they left.

Some demons just got themselves out of their respective hosts' shells, leaving the original back in control of their bodies once again. All of this happened within a few moments, making it difficult for the witches to understand what had happened to their subordinates. The subordinates that they had nurtured for so long.

Sedating Gaze.

Life Drain

Hero's Heart

Sedating Gaze.

Unlimited Weapon Works.

Swoosh. Zoom. Chop.

Eren used his punching daggers to perfection once the demons left the bodies they occupied. The world around him blurred as his consciousness entered a near-stagnant gray world that was devoid of bright colors.

"Aaaaargh!"

"Sis…."

"What is ha…. uuuugh!"

The original owners of the bodies were still distraught and unable to deal with the situation at hand. Eren used this timing to deal with them one by one. That too in such a way that their bodies fell to the ground, lifeless, before they could realize that they had not only been forcefully exorcised but also killed in the process.

Swoosh. Chop. Drop.

The severed heads flew off and the chopped-off limbs littered the grounds. The torsos of the Helbenbora members were soon riddled with gaping holes as the punching daggers were used as skewers on their unprotected flesh.

One could see that the flesh of some of the bodies had been turned into something strange. It was as if the blood from some of these bodies had been extracted before turning them into mummies with chopped limbs and exposed organs.

"Spare m—"

"Who the f—"

Unlimited Life Works was wielded precisely to the point of perfection by Eren. it was as if his daggers had come to life when they were used in conjunction with a weapon-specific Ability.

These Hex Artifacts allowed Eren to channel his anger. Coated in Wrath Mana, these conductors of the intent-based magic were unlike the denizens of the Labh Salem had ever seen. They sliced and chopped, separating meat from the bones. They hacked and punctured, giving Eren a bloodbath in the process. A bloodbath made with the blood of his enemies who had been exorcised not too long ago.

Sedating Gaze was an Ability Eren had synthesized by using two of his go-to time-element spells– Sedated Perception and Stunning Speed. As such, through the use of the Sedating Gaze, he could achieve the same effects as if using these two spells in conjunction.

However, this time, Sedating Gaze wasn't used to attack the targets' consciousness. Instead, it was used to enhance Eren's speed and agility. The level of swiftness Eren achieved with his Ability was so overwhelming that only one in a million people in Labh Salem could keep up with it using a specific set of Skills or Greater Skills.

Additionally, Sedating Gaze also enhanced the effects of the Unlimited Life Works because the latter Ability dealt with maximizing the weapons' acceleration. As Sedating Gaze was a time-element spell, it ended up augmenting the effects of the weapons-specific Ability Eren had.

Of course, Eren felt that it was a bit difficult for him to deploy his Abilities here in Labh Salem because of Menaka's Mesh. He even found it difficult to exert his physical prowess. After all, he and his body were still getting used to the natural suppression of the advanced world that was Labh Salem.

This was why Eren had also used Hero's Heart and Life Drain in conjunction. It allowed him to ignore the various suppressive effects he felt, allowing him to make full use of the limited time window he had been allotted.

It was clear that their Life Force had been robbed away from them in their final moments. This siphoned Life Force was used to heal Eren's injuries and restore him to his peak condition. Hero's Heart helped the butcher digest this surge of Life Force in a better way, allowing him to accommodate and use all of the Life Force he had robbed from his fresh victims.

Robbing of one's Life Force was not a new thing for people in Labh Salem. It had many demonic entities who practiced similar arts. However, these demonic arts always had some repercussions and side effects. And for the most part, these demonic arts couldn't be used in live battles as digesting a foreign Life Force wasn't something one could do on the fly.

As such, Eren's use of the Hero's Heart and Life Drain combo exceeded the expectations of the Helenbora Coven. Before any of the witches could intervene and prevent more of their subordinates from dying vainly, Eren had managed to deal with all of the small fries effectively.

The witches were still in a daze after realizing that Eren had managed to deploy not one or two but all of seven Sin Series domains on the scene. For some reason, they had pulled away from the domain's range and were afraid to step in.

Unlike the Rankers of Anfang, the witches knew how demonic domains worked and were afraid to contend with someone who could deploy seven different types of domains at the same time.

A thick stench of blood and exposed organs permeated the surroundings. By the time witches could understand what had happened, all of their subordinates had been neutralized.

The demons whom they had signed the Faustian contracts with had been reduced to become spectral demonic flames, which were levitating near the respective fleshly husks they had previously occupied. Whatever remained of that husk that is.
