Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 339 - Witch Of The Enderflame

Chapter 339 - Witch Of The Enderflame

"Yes, boy. It's me you are talking to. A ghost from the past, if you will, fukufukufuku!"
Eren dared to look at the Mummy's face when he heard the voice again. The skin on the mummy's face was almost superficial at this point. But the dark green eyes told him a different story.
They looked as if the drive to live and survive was burning within them. Eren could feel his eyes and his entire being burning just by staring at those eyes. He looked down and tried to snap out of the unintended intimidation again.
Eren realized that the high-ranked entities would have advanced their rankings and their use of elements to an unprecedented level. Their powers and their moods would unintentionally affect the surroundings around them. No matter how careful they were not to let their emotions affect their surroundings, they were still walking death sentences to low-level rankers.
Eren didn't speak. He didn't know what to say at this point. This was the first time he had seen or met up with a Sage ranker. Although she appeared to be barely alive, the first Sage ranker he had met was a terrifying being.
Eren still couldn't get rid of the feeling of helplessness he had felt a few moments back. He felt like days and weeks had passed while he was in that state. In that state, all of his past traumas came back to haunt him.
That helplessness was now mixed with the feeling of innate fear he felt towards this terrifying existence. So his emotions and his thoughts were all over the place at this point.
The sage ranker could guess what was happening to him. She pondered a bit and shakily raised her hands before snapping her fingers. Immediately, an array appeared under the giant's skull and teleported it away along with the chains that were supposed to come from the ground.
A gorgeous woman in her late 20s was standing in the place of the skull. She was wearing a sensual leather bodice along with a full set of armour consisting of an armguard, leg guard, and waist gear. A simple-looking gladius was seen hanging from the waist strap.
This young woman had white hair. Her eyes were dark green like the most precious emerald.
She had a petite nose and an elegant oval-shaped face. Her clear skin had a tinge of red on her cheeks.
Her small lips were the colour of red cherries. Her height seemed to be 5 ft 10 inches. But because of her slender figure, she looked much taller.
This young woman with a mesmerizing look had an equally hypnotizing figure. She had ample proportions and curves in the right places. In more ways than one, she was the epitome of feminine beauty.
"This should do it. Little boy, don't get crazy on me just yet. I have a lot of tasks to assign to you."
A soft, young voice filled the giant hall. It was the most pleasing sound Eren had ever heard in his life. But it also carried a kind of authority in it that couldn't be questioned by someone like him.
Eren looked at the source of that voice and was surprised by the beauty of the young lady he was seeing in front of him. He looked around and found out that there was no sign of the giant's skull, the throne, or the chained mummy in the hall anymore. It was just this gorgeous lady who had mesmerized him with her effortless charm.
"Who… who are you?"
Eren asked as drops of sweat trickled down his face from his forehead. He wasn't sure why, but the lady's pretty figure was even more intimidating to him than the mummy. That was because the vibes he was getting from her, even with her seemingly utmost constraints, were that of a high-ranking entity who was at her peak.
"Little boy, has the outside world's way of life fallen so much that the rankers don't abide by the rankers' code anymore. Who gave you the right to ask about me without introducing yourself."
Eren felt like his body was burning in some mystic green haze just after the Sage ranker spoke to him. He shook his head and found that to be just an illusion. But his head was starting to come to its usual place now that the potion's effects were starting to kick in.
"Please accept my humble bow, Lady Sage. My name is Eren Elijah Idril. Your shadow alone is a blessing to my puny existence. Kindly forgive my rude behaviour. I didn't mean to offend you."
Eren controlled his almost powerless body and made a deep bowing gesture while sitting down at the same place. This was the kind of bow a Sage ranker like her deserved. This was the respect her rank carried in the rankers' society, no matter which faction she belonged to or what intentions she carried.
"Hmm! This is much better. I knew your name, boy. I had been keeping tabs on you after all. Maybe it is normal for your generation to skip on etiquettes. But I was raised differently.
Different times, I guess.
My name is… hehe!
It's so odd to say my name now. I feel weird for having to introduce myself to an Ace who hasn't come out of his shell.
I'm sure my name has been removed from the annals of Anfang's history completely. But there was a time when I was referred to as the monstrous prodigy by the whole of Anfang.
My name was…."
Eliza stopped when she felt like she was tooting her horns. Her prideful nature stopped her from continuing any further on those lines. So she took a deep breath and continued:
"Never mind.
Name's Eliza.
Eliza Samael."
Eliza paused and gave a bewitching smile to Eren before continuing:
"They used to call me… Witch of the Enderflame."
'Enderflame!'
The sight of the devastating green flames filled Eren's vision when the name was mentioned. He knew that if it wasn't that the beasts were slow in their movements, he would be turned into a charred body by those flames as soon as they surrounded him.
And that was the attack of the low ranked mana beasts.. What if a Sage Ranker like her decides to unleash those flames? The butcher gulped as he became even tenser in his current situation.
