"Kiyaaaaaah!"
The mutated creature released another scream as it lifted the skewered body of the soldier it had just killed.
Claho wasn't sure if what he was seeing was real or just an illusion conjured up by an illusion spell. Or was he trapped in a nightmare? He couldn't be sure.
He watched as Kelmar turned into a mutated creature. The captain looked on as his former vice-captain attacked his comrade. He watched as the creature lifted the victim's body in the air after skewering it on his fang-shaped bone.
Then he watched as Kelmar tossed it aside like it didn't mean anything to him anymore. He then looked around and saw another ranker that was not far away from him.
"Kiyaaaaaah!"
The mutated creature made its intention known by releasing an angry cry towards its next target. The ranker knew that running away from the creature wasn't going to solve anything.
"Fight… let's fight this creature together. I won't be able to take it down by myself.'
The soldier found the right words to say to the rankers around him. They also understood that they had to put everything aside and prioritize killing the creature.
Kelmar approached the ranker and tried to do the same thing with his new prey the way he had done it with his last prey. Too bad, the ranker used his runic shield and his defensive spell together to tackle the muscle-powered bone-fang.
"Kiyaah!"
The creature released a roar of anger as it found out its prey was trying to evade getting killed. The muscles on its body grew even more exaggerated than they already were as Kelmar indulged in the feeling of wrath.
Claho wet his pants when he saw the mutated creature overpowering the ranker who was well-versed in defence. He watched as the creature got tackled by three more rankers at once. And he watched as Kelamr's body got heated up and released mana-smoke in response to those attacks on him.
Kelmar soon seemed to have killed or incapacitated two more rankers with his inhuman physical power alone. And injured the third one. Only after doing this did his body finally succumb and spontaneously combust.
The shield-wielding ranker was at his limit when the fight ended between the four of them versus the creature. And three of his comrades were already dead. He had thought that it wouldn't take long for the creature to kill him now.
But the shield ranker almost felt like crying with joy when he saw that Kelmar's body had suddenly caught fire. It burned in red flames at an accelerated rate before there was nothing left of it anymore.
The red flame that burned its source wasn't extinguished though. It started compressing and shrinking while releasing a distinct yet weird mana pulse.
The shield guy wasn't sure what he was supposed to do now. But he was glad that the mutant creature was finally taken care of. But something strange happened yet again.
Suddenly, the same red flame that was levitating from the ground flew towards someone that was the root cause of all that had happened so far.
Eren extended his hand as the palm-sized red flame came toward him. It then disappeared into his body through contact with the tip of his index finger.
"Aaaaaaah! These pure feelings of wrath. I like them.
Hehehehe!
Give me more!"
Eren said as if speaking to himself. But somehow his voice was heard by all those present in the Domain of Wrath. They watched in horror as Eren's injuries started healing themselves after the consumption of the red flame.
The wound on Eren's chest stayed open. But he could not feel any pain coming from it anymore. His other injuries were also getting healed. His fractured bones creaked and mended themselves. His ruptured muscles were brought back to their pristine condition. And his open wounds in the other parts of his body stopped pouring out any more blood.
Eren then looked at his cut fingers that didn't heal and realized something.
"I need more."
Eren said and looked at Claho again. He started walking towards Claho at that point. The latter suddenly thought even shitting himself wasn't going to be enough to process the fear he was feeling at the time.
"Stop… stop this devil.
Aaaah!
Team Claho, if you want to see tomorrow's sun, come together as a team and kill him.
He… he is still injured and won't be able to handle all of us."
Claho's survival instincts kicked in and overpowered his fears. He got up and ordered his team to unite under him. The teammates in the surroundings also had come to realize that their chance of survival lay in acting as a team and helping each other out.
Eren was about to be attacked from all sides by the attackers. But they soon heard the voice of the devil as he kept walking towards their leader.
"Heh! Are you sure you can afford to attack me? Look at the bodies of those the creature of wrath killed."
Eren chuckled as he made all the rankers look at the bodies of the Kelmar's victims. Two rankers almost died, while the third one was critically injured.
Their fears came true, as Eren had hinted. They soon started turning the same way Kelmar had passed through a few moments ago.
"Kiyaaaah!"
"Kiyaaaaah!"
"Kiyaaaaah!"
The three mutated creatures released their cries unanimously as they each chose a different ranker to attack. The rankers had to prioritize killing the mutant creatures again because their lives were put in danger all at the same time.
Just like that, the rankers started battling with their previous comrades for the lack of better choices. But it wasn't a fight they could win.
Because they would soon come to realize that the more they fought and the more they got injured, the more the numbers on the opposing side would rise. And even if they managed to kill the creature before it killed them, it would only strengthen Eren more.
In the domain of wrath, the rankers could feel the wrath building in their hearts. And the caster of this domain welcomed this situation with open arms.
Eren was about to burn everyone in the flames of wrath before consuming them as a whole.
