Chapter 99: Diceros Left & Right (1/2)

Chapter 100: Transfor cry echoed through an untamed wilderness, away froht was barely keeping away the dark conjured by the forest’s dense vegetation

A boy in his teens could be seen struggling with soly nowhere in the middle of the wild

He looked to have short stature His wavy black hair was abuckets all over Of course, he seemed to have already anticipated his situation and therefore was only wearing his pants

The ground beneath hied in an array That light generated by array activation was the only source of luminance in the pitch-black cave

It looked like so on Eren’s skin, slowly e part of his torso and limbs This very act seereen eyes had been gloith emerald luminance His sharp but siven him a kinda handsome yet boyish look

But all that char e of transformation

This was none other than Eren Elijah Idril He had been going through a beast contract spell inside the Lionhearts Beast Sanctuary

He had chosen an isolated spot for hih with the process safely, away fro eyes He had laid the spell’s array after confir that the cave was safe for him to cast the spell

The butcher’s condition was special The den the beast contract as already tah the blood ritual He didn’t knoould happen if he decides to proceed further with the spell But he had concluded that it wouldn’t be anything normal

Plus, he needed to keep Reen’s identity hidden Therefore, he couldn’t perforuessed that the process would garner attention So it was better if he did it in the wild

And so far his guess had been spot-on, even more so than he had previously anticipated

Eren knew about the normal beast contract spell It would allow the ranker to form an unbreakable bond with their tamed beast

But the spell itself was very simple The ranker only needed to lay down the array that had two array-eyes positioned in the yin-yang style Then the ranker needed to stand inside one of the eyes and chant soht had vanished needed to stay inside the other eye

The array would be lit up and the spell would activate after everything has been done correctly The array would start shrinking The runes present in the array would climb over the ta the process

At the end of the spell’s execution, the beast would have its body et attracted towards the ranker standing inside the other array eye

The essence would e with the ranker on a superficial level It would for beast tattoo over the ranker’s body, indicating that the process had been successful All this would happen in the case of beast contract spell getting performed normally without any blood ritual involved

The normal beast contract spell would destroy the body of a beast forever Only its soul would remain trapped inside a runic tattoo that would have its visual features

In return, the ranker would gain so upon their elemental and inherent nature compatibilities

That’s why rankers would perform the spell on the beasts who had the same elemental affinity and inherent nature as them A synched contract between the ranker and beast would ensure that all the beastly powers get acquired by the foret preserved without any abnorue But generally, a ranker with ferocious inherent nature or battle style would prefer the beast of the same kind And a ranker with sneaky attributes would choose to form a beast contract with an equally stealthy beast

The beastly features could be covert or overt depending on the way the ranker handled them Some rankers who had made use of the beast contract spell would prefer to show their beastly features while the others would keep them hidden

But that was not all A ranker could choose to invoke the soul residing in their tattoo through the beast manifestation It was another part of the beast contract It would create a semi corporal body out of mana for the beast to te

It didn’t ot destroyed The beast would return safely to itsretracted into the tattoo Or the ranker could choose to do it willingly after cancelling the beast manifestation of their accord

The spell was advantageous to rankers in many ways First, their bodily resilience would increase So the rankers to gain a one-ti journey

Second, the rankers would gain the natural talents of the beast while keeping their intelligence intact It allowed for better use of the sa the overall battle prowess of the ranker in one go

Third, the mana body of the beast in the beast manifestation would only be lirant their beast a body made of F-Rank mana But the beast would be able to exert the maximum potential of that particular rank with the body manifestation

That e could have a trustworthy, undying coe of the sa as they could support the mana consumption

This also meant that the beast contract spell did not have a rank restriction Its rank would automatically rise with the ranker

Plus, once cast, the beast contract spell would remain active until the user decided to end the contract with their current beast Upon contract termination, the beast’s essence would disperse in the thin air and its soul would be released fro

The beast that had its contract terminated won’t be able to be suression in their ranking journey But the side effects won’t be too severe for them

Therefore it could be concluded that there were ales of the spell It allowed a ranker to a any apparent consequences

The beast contract spell wasn’t called a transcendent spell for a show

But so entirely different to nor to Eren and Reen

Reen had been blood bound to Eren through the blood ritual So the array couldn’t treat her as a different existence to Eren

The spell didn’t destroy her body Nor did it do anything to her soul

A fusion of bodies was taking place instead of the fleshly essence of the beast turning into a beastly tattoo The se up was Reen herself She was getting fused with Eren’s body

The whole process was extre on both Eren and Reen The foretting dissolved in acid And the latter just sent distress signals to her master via their mental connection

Eren couldn’t see as happening to him because he had closed his eyes and bit his lips to sustain the severe pain he was feeling But he could feel that his fleshly essence and Reen’s slih the spell execution

All of Eren’s spells were inadvertently gettingmechanism kicked in That manifestation destroyed his clothes and made him butt naked

It took a while for the process to get finished Eren was then seen laying on the ground with his hands spread apart His eyes were closed

He wasn’t unconscious Just severely exhausted from the whole ordeal

Eren stayed that way and fell asleep He had already closed the only exit the cave had His cynic, paranoid nature had forced hierous beast So he didn’t have to worry about his safety

The dawn of the next day had just startedits presence knohen Eren opened his eyes He first looked around hihts and blurry vision

The cave was still dark But there were rays of lights piercing the makeshi+ft closure made out of rocks and leaves

“Eren, are you awake now?”

The butcher heard a voice conised it to be Reen’s so he started to look around some more to find her

“Reen, where are you?”

He couldn’t help but ask His disorganised thoughts were slowly cal down in his head

“I’m here!”

Said Reen And i out of his pal But he didn’t feel any pain

The sliot concentrated and for into the body of a beautiful fe Reen take a corporal body that wasn’t a mana body formed due to beast manifestation

Reen’s body wasn’t destroyed in the beast contract as it normally should be, thanks to the blood ritual with Eren But that was not all

When Eren tried to get up, his hands and feet became jelly This was the beast contract spell’s effect taken to the extreme

Normally, the appearance and manifestation of beastly features on ranker’s body had a limit They couldn’t cross certain boundaries set by the ranker’s body

But what Eren was seeing right noas the breach of those very boundaries
