'Phew! No wonder Arthur wanted this power.'

Eren said as he watched Claho shed his epidermis and start transforming into the creature of wrath. He had remembered that Eliza had stated that Arthur was eyeing the true reward of Purgatory from the very beginning. Now he understood why that was the case.

It wasn't that Eren could grasp everything about the rankers' experience through his ability. He could only retain a portion of those experiences and make them his own. But the fact that he could do that was revolutionary itself.

Eren could now practically master many weapon arts and battle styles if he accumulated and grasped enough experience about them the way he did. Then all he needed to do was fine-tune them with some real-life practice. This is easy. As a result, he would be able to master a particular weapon or battle style within a few weeks. This is in contrast to the years normal ranked soldiers spend in training.

Then there was the matter of the multiple ways of the elements and their respective progressions that he had to account for. Eren wasn't sure how he could make full use of all of those experiences. However, he could use the progress he had made in the fire element, lightning element, and time element.

He needed quiet time to process these gains. It wasn't something he could do right off the bat. At least the ability hadn't progressed enough for him to do that.

But with bigger rewards came increased risks.

'This ability also has some risks.'

Eren narrowed his eyes on the creature of wrath that was standing in front of him like it was waiting for his command. Eren didn't say anything. He just looked at his body while pondering over the risks of using this ability to its fullest that he had learned subconsciously.

"Go kill your fellow soldiers."

Eren said to Claho now that he had now become a creature of wrath. Although he couldn't understand human words anymore, he could still process Eren's emotions as the caster of the domain.

It immediately left its place and moved towards the nearest battle between the rankers and the creature of wrath. Eren then closed his eyes and was about to harness the power of wrath flames. But then he sensed something and ducked.

Eren's mana sense in the Domain of Wrath had been amplified by many levels. Yet it took him time for him to sense the life-threatening attack that was executed on him just now.

Eren looked and found out that it was the bowsword woman who had used her special runic projectile sword against him. She wasn't as impulsive as Kelmar. As a result, she wasn't as desperate to fight or flee from the creatures of wrath as the others.

She instead concentrated all her efforts on killing the root cause of these events. One had to say that her strategy was right on the mark. Her timing was apt. Plus, the gear she had used was an ideal tool. Too bad, she hadn't understood the full scope of the Domain of Wrath.

"You… This is the Domain of Wrath, you know. Try not to provoke me too much. Otherwise, it would be disastrous for both of us."

Eren said that while clenching his fist. He tried to calm himself and not let his anger take over.

"Then again, it is already bad for you no matter what you do. So I understand your struggle. Hehehe. Let me give you the relief you want."

Eren said and cast his spells.

Blitz Bolt

Blitz Steps

Sedated Perception

The bowsword-wielding ranger saw that Eren had disappeared from his position and immediately became wary of him. She cast her AoE as soon as she understood the severity of her situation. She had never thought that Eren would be able to dodge the unique assassination tool, which she had saved for emergencies like these.

A small dome of water-element mana was created around the ranger woman. Sword projectiles were soon going to appear in that domain that would target her approaching foe.

But what she hadn't realized was the fact that she had underestimated Eren's current form and his stats while in the Domain of Wrath.

The flames of wrath did not only heal Eren's body completely but also boosted his stats temporarily. With the absorption of each flame, each stat would be boosted further. That meant that he would get stronger the more he kept on killing foes that were inside the Domain of Wrath.

Currently, Eren has consumed around 10 wrath flames. So his stats were boosted way more than his normal levels. So when he executed his movement spell, the butcher was already within the striking distance behind the ranger's back even before her AoE was perfected.

Eren wasn't someone who would wait for his enemies to make a move. Particularly when he was using the Domain of Wrath. He feared that he would lose control over his anger once a successful blow landed on him.

Pichook!

Eren didn't waste time. There was no exchange of words. There was no stare down. Just a simple form of efficient killing.

The ranger woman was already weak in close combat. Plus, thanks to Eren's boosted stats, the game was already over before it began. Eren pushed ahead and crushed the ranger's head with his vice-like grip alone.

Just like that, both the rangers of Claho's team along with the leader himself had turned dead within a few moments of the butcher's domain expansion. There were only a few rangers that were fighting a vain battle with the creatures of wrath.

Eren looked at his bloody hand which now had some grey matter sticking to it. The hand immediately caught fire and red flames could be seen burning every bit of that matter along with the ranger's blood into cinders. The dead ranger's body also began to burn, and the flames rising from the body of the dead ranker were soon absorbed by Eren.

'No. my approach needs to be improvised. Too much anger is bad. But what if I can control my anger and put it in the right direction?'

Eren thought as he watched the red flame disappear into his body. At that moment, he decided to test the limits of his ability by experimenting on himself as well.

The butcher let his anger consume him.
