163 Let This Rain Wash Away All My Pain of Yesterday

Eren squashed Geer’s neck with bare hands once he figured out his mana defense layer had gotten compromised. As a result, his dead body started to bleed from various orifices.

Geer’s eyes had bulged. The blue and dark red veins on his face were distinctly visible as his flesh was subjected to such a brutal form of attack. The blood poured from his nose, eyes, and ears.

Geer’s mouth had painted Eren red with blood. The vocal cords and other muscles that were part of his neck had spilled out of his mouth too because Eren had clutched the guy’s neck so hard.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Tohir, the dart shooter finally managed to get hold of Eren while he was busy killing Geer. He shot a bunch of darts toward him. He was still not aware that his leader had died because Eren’s back was blocking his view and he still tried to maintain a safe distance.

Yako was the fourth party member that was assigned to handle Eren. The guy was approaching Eren from a different direction. He was a gorilla-like Wesen with close-range expertise. So he closed in on Eren without any fear.

Yako was planning to use Tohir’s attack as an opening salvo for his attack. That’s why he watched the darts approach Eren while he followed behind them. Both Yako and Tohir were yet to know about their team members’ conditions as they were busy coordinating their own attacks.

Eren knew that he wouldn’t be able to dodge the darts in time now that he had stopped to kill Geer. Thus, he counted on his bear armor’s defensive properties to perform magic.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The darts clashed with the heavy armor and bounced off as Eren managed to manifest the armor set in the nick of time. He had also managed to generate a thin mana layer around him using the armor, rendering the attack completely null.

Yako, the gorilla-type Wesen, got within striking range as soon as the darts bounced off. He could see that the darts did not affect Eren due to the sudden emergence of his armor. But at this point, it was too late for him to retreat. He continued his attack by enhancing his punch with earth-element mana.

Zoom. Swoosh. Boom.

Yako had a smile on his face as he felt the feedback of his punch. It looked like his idea to target the back of Eren’s head had paid off. Because he felt that his punch had managed to hit the flesh before pulverizing it into smithereens.

Yako was a gorilla-type Wesen. So his punches already had exceptional power when he was in his Woge form. The Woge form meant that the beastkin was displaying some characteristics of their beastly lineage.

Yoko had a bit of gorilla-like facial features. His arm was covered in black fur when he had landed his punch. As a result, a huge amount of blood that was released due to heavy blunt force landed on his black fur and made it stick to his skin underneath.

“Hahaha. I killed…”

Yoko was about to say ‘our target’. But then he saw what was in front of him and that had him confused for a bit. It took him a while to realize what he had punched.

Eren was waiting for Yoko’s attack. He turned around just in time to receive his punch. And he let it land on Geer’s head. He only dropped Geer’s body when it became headless due to Yoko’s brutal punch. He was bathed in blood, which made his bloody visage even grimmer to look at.

“This fucking ba…”

Yako was shocked to the core when he realized what had just happened. He couldn’t believe that Geer would die by his punch. But before he could fully process and verbalize his thoughts, he was attacked by two axes getting swung at him at breakneck speeds.

Yako’s liver was cleaved when one of the axes landed under his rib cage from the side. One had to say Eren had used Yako’s utter shock that he was feeling against him. Due to his unstable mental state, he couldn’t control his mana defense layer properly. As a result, Eren’s ax received the least amount of resistance when it attacked Yako at an odd angle.

Igni Wave.

Eren let out a flying attack when the ax was still inside Yako’s body. To launch the spell more quickly, he used it as a Hex spell. The force of his swing was still acting on Yako’s body. The spell’s effect was added to that force and lifted Yako’s body from the ground.

Only a second or two after he had reached Eren, Yako flew up to 5 meters away from the ground. The Igni Wave that was still active inside the beastkin’s body reached a critical point before making a part of his torso explode.

Yako had lost a significant chunk of his abdomen after Igni Wave was detonated right inside his body. When that happened, blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Some of it fell on Eren like it was raining blood and flesh.

‘Let this rain wash away all my pain of yesterday.’

A thought rippled in Eren’s mind as he looked up to see the effects of his attack take place in the air. Igni Wave had lit up the sky, engulfing Yako’s silhouette in brilliant light.

Yako’s half-dead body cut through the air while it was being subjected to the Igni Wave. The bright orange-red light that was Yako approached Tohir who was stationary not too far from where Eren was.

I was shocked by the entire chain of events that had happened in a short period. He was too stunned to say anything. He was too scared to move away from his current position. And he was too confused to cast a defensive spell.

Zoom. “Oh, my g…!”. Boom.

Yako’s body crashed onto Tohir at a meteoric speed. This could only blurt out two and a half words before he was dragged behind by sheer force acting on Yako’s body.
