Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 457 Wind Wings

Chapter 457 Wind Wings

"Where the fuck has he been? Didn't I tell you guys that Eren is a shady man? His eyes… the way he looks at me. And all of you. It's like he doesn't care about any of us."
Berserker Sidro Zas spoke up as he was tired of waiting for the same guy who had become the biggest hurdle in his chances of becoming the vice-captain. He had said half of what he had said about Eren from the heart. The other half was meant to decrease Eren's rapport with other teammates.
"Shut the fuck up and wait for captain's orders, Sid. Bitching about every little thing isn't going to make you a vice-captain.
It's not like you were sent there to look for him. Cap Altashia had been searching for the guy on her mount. At the most, we'll wait here for a few more minutes before heading back to the base. And organise a search party for him."
The tank placed a gag order on Sidro before looking at the sky aimlessly. Most of the soldiers were now by the orc camp's front entrance, waiting for Altashia.
She had been flying around on her demon beast to look for Eren when he wasn't back by the afternoon. It was now close to sunset and they were running behind schedule.
Just as Lyon had said, if Eren doesn't get found in the Badlands by the end of the evening, the army will have to organise a search party for him. And they will have to prioritise since the guy is now the owner of an epic tier demon beast.
Sid didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to criticise Eren some more. So he was about to speak up once again at the cost of offending their always-grumpy tank. But just then…
"Kiyeeeeeeeh!"
Sid heard a distinct eagle cry when he had just opened his mouth. He knew by that voice that the guy he had been badmouthing had finally decided to show up.
*********************
Eren had left the Oni Dungeon after having a long talk with his Lust-bound slaves. The orc ladies told him everything they knew about the subspace without holding anything back. In return, he told them what he was after in the subspace.
Sharog knew more details about the Oni dungeon than her two assistants. She was looking after most of the tribe's affairs in place of the tribe leader after all.
Eren doubted Borul ever since he knew he was hiding his strength from Alephee. So he asked Sharog about it. She straight up told him that he was the real tribe leader of the orc tribe the butcher had found himself in.
Borul's real name was Durbag, the same name his tribe was known as. He had sealed his mana core and suppressed his powers using a technique, which prevented him from being seen as an Orc Lord. it also stopped him from taking the final step into being an Orc Overlord. He had done this to prepare for the Oni Festival that was about to take place inside the dungeon soon.
Eren soon came to know about the guy's reason behind taking this route. He had to admit that Borul Durbag was a crafty guy to have come up with the idea to spoil the Oni festival and take the benefits for himself. Now all the butcher had to do was use Borul's preparations to his advantage.
To accomplish this, he needed to prepare properly before returning to the Oni dungeon. He still had enough time based on his calculations. The main challenge was finding a way into the dungeon in the army-controlled region without raising suspicions. After all, not all of the on-field missions would be placed in the same region and given to the same team.
Alephee came to Eren's rescue at that time. She guided him into creating a relatively short-distance spatial exit array using the Extols he had on him. The butcher had to burn through most of his Extols stockpile to do this. He was glad that he had borrowed a chunk of Extols from Nina before resuming his assignment.
The butcher chose an obscure location for the array inside the cave that served as an entrance to the Oni Dungeon. He only had to build a corresponding entry array to get back to the place without worrying about intruding on the army-controlled territory. He just had to make sure that the spatial entry array gets created within a certain distance from the exit array. This meant that it needed to be created not far from the Orc camp he had raided with his team.
Eren laid out his plans in front of the orc ladies and readily agreed to his every command. The finer details could be worked upon via their mind links. Then he exited the dungeon the same way he had come from.
The butcher had checked the reliability of his mental connection with the orc ladies. He had found out that although they had trouble sharing their senses, the sharing of thoughts itself was no problem.
The second thing Eren did after coming outside the Oni dungeon was contacting Argo. He hoped that the guy had stayed put just the way he wanted him to. Argo answered him quickly with emotions of excitement swelling in his mind.
Argo had made effective use of his free time. He tried to fly solo some more and was successfully able to tap into one of his inherent spells. It was a wind-element spell that was intended to enhance his flight capabilities by strengthening the impact his wings had on his surroundings. Now, he was able to fly at a rapid pace with increased manoeuvrability than ever before while keeping the flapping of his wings to a minimum.
Eren named the spell Wind Wings for his convenience.
The butcher was surprised for a bit after finding out that Argo was a tri-element user. He had only shown compatibility with fire and lightning at first. He suspected that this was also caused by his zero elemental conflict.
Argo soon came to pick Eren up after knowing about his location. The newborn demon beast greeted him with an excited cry but didn't come down right away. He showed the butcher what he was capable of by performing dives and spins in the air. He even tried to mess with him by diving straight at him with his talons stretched as if he was about to grab the butcher.
Since Eren could read his demon beast like an open book, he just lit his smoke up and watched his shenanigans with keen interest. He didn't forget to congratulate Argo by patting him on his head when he finally decided to land in front of him.
