1807 Explosion
"What the fuck are you waiting for? Kill him. He is already half dead."
Nira's loud command struck her subordinates like a heavyweight hammer pounding on their heads.
They all looked at each other with absent expressions before finally deciding to take action.
They could have never thought that a Grandmaster who had been grievously injured before the start of his battle with Nira would be able to put up such a fight.
Some of the subordinates had exchanged blows with Lemaar before. As such, they felt that the person who fought with Nira was a completely different beast than the Lemaar they had confronted.
As the subordinates started closing in on Nira, she looked at Eren with hateful expressions. She had landed on the ground and refused to crash helplessly in front of her Grandmaster-ranked enemy who had injured her.
Her S-Ranked alchemy body tried to heal the grievous injuries she had suffered because of Eren's vicious attacks. However, the injuries Eren had inflicted on her were too severe. They couldn't be healed easily on the spot.
"Just you wait. Even if you die because of your injuries, we will come to know about you eventually. We will go after your family and friends and make your carcass spill all the secrets you have," Nira spoke venomous words as she looked at Eren's form, which was in an even more precarious condition than hers.
'Got him,' she thought to herself.
It would only take a few seconds for Nira's subordinates to reach Eren's position. As such, Eren knew that his escape was sealed. However, escape was not on his agenda in the first place.
Eren didn't try to run away or fight with the incoming enemies anymore. He just let them approach him as he started taking haggard breaths, his bloody eyes scanning his surroundings with a cold look.
Nira shot multiple mana bullets. Some of them were spirit bullets, the same kind Renita had managed to shoot after her Soul Sense Awakening. However, Eren ignored all of the incoming injuries that kept piling on his already battered body.
Nira couldn't get away from Eren because of the Wrath-mana-infused Agni Chains still shackling her limbs. She also realized that Eren's ocular Skill and his Spiritual Attack had put her subordinates in a compromising situation.
However, she didn't panic and decided to deal with Eren using her own two hands. At this point, she realized that Eren was like a flickering flame trying to survive in the wild. The fight was futile, and he was soon about to succumb to his injuries.
Swoosh.
Nira cut Eren's arm which was still holding the damaged spear that had lost its blade. The arm fell to the ground. But Eren didn't care. He managed to get a breath of hair's distance away from her before wrapping his remaining arm around her brutally damaged waist. He held onto the exposed hip bones, dripping with blood and alchemy materials, before pulling her closer to him.
"You have chosen a worthy enemy, Nira Nightshade. Congratulations," Eren whispered in Nira's ears with a broken jaw and a mouth that kept on spilling blood.
However, what caught Nira off guard was the fact that Lemaar had spoken those words in Anfang's native language.
Before Nira or anyone could anticipate what Eren's next move would be, Eren activated forbidden runes circling his mana core and detonated himself.
This was a fail-safe measure Eren had implanted in every one of his pseudo-avatars. He had made all of them into fully functional suicide bombers.

AN: Eren used the suicide bomber mechanism in chapters 868 and 1393.
