Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 209: OP Ramy?

Chapter 209: OP Ramy?

‘Ramy Richards, you are doing well. But I’m too selfish, you know. I won’t allow you to come out in a better light when you are fighting against me.’
Eren thought to himself as his punch hit the intended spot.
But it seemed that Ramy was expecting this. Because he had already executed another sound-element spell on his body that would allow him to send invisible sound waves through his attacker’s body at the point of contact.
The sound waves flowed through Eren’s arms that he had used to punch Ramy. In the stagnated world, he could sense the sound waves vibrating his skin as they passed through his body. This caused his muscles to be unable to maintain the force they were backing the punch with.
‘With such debuffs put in place, even hitting this guy is a sin now. Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve created a monster with an always-smiling face?’
Eren did not regret improving Ramy up for real. But he regretted the fact that he wasn’t completely immune to the guy’s effect despite having a transformed body. That would only mean Ramy’s attacks would be even more effective on normal rankers. Which in turn could mean the sound-element knight getting more zealous towards him.
The punch finally showed its effect on Ramy who was now curling forward to deal with the blunt force’s impact. But even with that natural reaction taking place, Ramy didn’t forget to use his sword to swing at Eren.
Eren parried the sword with his katars easily. Due to his time element spell combo, he did not need to worry about the guy just experimenting with his newfound tuning.
Or so Eren thought!
Ramy’s silent incantation was taking place right behind him. Eren could see the runic patterns getting printed in the air Ramy. The guy had been using silent casting ever since his match started with the butcher.
Eren didn’t panic. Ramy’s punch would cause him to be interrupted, and consequently, fail to cast his spell. Or at least that’s what the butcher was hoping for.
But he had underestimated Ramy’s resolution. The guy bit his lips and endured the pain caused by Eren’s punch. Then the Blitz Bolt affected him. In addition, the opponent’s lightning spell also helped him feel less pain at the point of contact due to its inherent stun effect. This resulted in him being able to endure the pain without breaking his spell execution.
Eren’s onslaught continued in the stagnated world. Ramy endured all the punches and slashes, coordinating his counter and strengthening his defence over time.
It would have been easy for Eren if he had targeted Ram’s vital spots. But he didn’t do that. The butcher was trying to test his knight’s potential in close range battle after all. It would defeat the purpose if the fight ended too quickly.
Ramy shouted to his heart’s content after sustaining a barrage of attacks from Eren. his silence casting had been completed. He now had multiple sound swords levitating around him, ready for his beck and call.
The sound-element ranker didn’t wait for the blurred opponent that was Eren to hit him some more. He willed some of the sound swords in front of him to attack the butcher while he kept some around himself to act as the first line of defence.
‘Impressive. This guy can become more overpowered than me when fighting with multiple opponents.’
Eren cancelled his time-element spell combo and thought to himself. He realized that Ramy could tackle multiple opponents of the same rank simultaneously without losing his ground thanks to his unique battle style.
The surreal sound sword spell allowed him to manifest multiple swords made of compressed sound waves that would hum with a distinct sharp noise around him. These swords could be used for an attack as well as defence, making it easy for him to handle multiple enemies while ensuring his safety.
The line of swords Ramy used as a defence made it difficult for Eren to approach the guy. Plus, the swords he had used for the offence were easy to break. But there was a catch.
The swords were meant to be destroyed by Ramy’s enemies. Once the sword is destroyed, there would be shockwaves of compressed sound waves getting spread in all directions. It was enough for the opponent’s auditory and other senses to be affected by the sound waves being emitted so close to oneself.
That’s what happened with Eren. A sound sword would come his way, and he would try to parry it. But even with his most efficient parry move, the said sound sword would then just detonate right after the point of contact with Eren’s katars.
The sound waves would travel through Eren’s weapons and wreak havoc inside his body starting from the hands he was using to hold his weapons. It would also affect his senses, making it easy for other sound swords to approach and surround him.
The biggest advantage of silent incantation was the fact that it wasn’t entirely dependent on the caster’s mana. While maintaining the caster’s mana consumption under control, it could tap into the surroundings’ mana and enable them to get more out of their spells.
The disadvantage of silent incantations having longer casting time was already taken care of by Ramy’s fine-tuned battle style. And he didn’t forget to maximise his advantages as well. Whenever a sound sword would get destroyed, he would just manifest two more to take its place.
As a result, Eren was soon surrounded by an array of sound swords aiming at him. The butcher didn’t panic. He straightened up his back and looked at Ramy with a smile:
“You have improved quite well, Ramy. I must give you that. But there are a few things you need to learn as well.”
Ramy felt like he had achieved something monumental after hearing praises from Eren. he knew Eren was kinda going easy on him. But he also knew the guy wasn’t a type to praise someone just like that.
“What is it, Ewen? What do I need to do to improve?”
“Well for starters, don’t give your enemy a chance to talk mid-battle.”
Ramy heard a voice behind his ears and then his legs became limp. He fell to his knees while still looking at Eren in front of him, which soon turned out to be his afterimage.
