Chapter 181: 181 Incredible and Unbelievable

A week after Eren killed Geer along with five of his party members.

Stardust Guild’s lobby.

Eren was discussing stuff with three ladies. Reece, Miranda, and Mia. he was just about to leave on his solo mission when he was surrounded by a bunch of rankers.

A muscular man who was taller than Eren came out of the group surrounding him and stood in front. He had paler skin than Eren. With sharp features, his shoulder-length red hair cascaded down his face. He had completely red eyes with no sclera. And his ears were a bit prominent.

The man had all the characteristics of a human. But Eren could tell he was not completely human by the way his presence felt to him.

“So you killed six out of seven Spiders that had ambushed you? And that too when you were debuffed by the opponent’s dart?

Were you tussling with six kids by any chance who hadn’t stopped drinking from their mamas’ tits? Call me crazy but I find it a bit difficult to believe someone like you could survive the ambush of six Spiders all by yourself.”

Faim was the one who voiced his opinions about Eren. But he could tell some of the Stardust guild members were also thinking along these lines.

Eren had reported his kill to the Stardust guild, receiving a total amount of 850 Mana Quartz as a reward for all his kills. The reward he had received was so much bigger than Mia had initially thought.

Compared to that, the reward he received from completing the mission and selling the corpses of Slaadi was abysmally low. It was natural that Eren would target Spiders from now on.

At this point, Stardust and House of Spiders were in open hostility with each other. Neither cared if their mission revenues were affected or if the rankers under their control were targeted. Both guilds wanted the other completely eradicated.

Neither guild could directly attack the other without the kingdoms imposing sanctions on them. So the rankers from both sides were given some basic dos and don’ts.

First and foremost, they should never cause a conflict within the city. No matter what kind of city or even town it was, since it would be backed by the kingdom’s forces, any conflict inside the habitat area would result in serious repercussions from the kingdom.

The second priority for both guilds was to secure the resource-rich lands they both already owned. That’s because these lands would be the first to get targeted by the opposing force if left vulnerable.

Both guilds had three Arch rankers. They couldn’t be used to deal with lower rankers as both served as deterrents against each other. Plus, the unwritten rankers’ code of conduct wouldn’t allow them to attack their juniors anyway. Not unless they wanted their reputation tarnished.

Both guilds had assigned their key assets to the resource-rich areas under their control to guard them against their enemy. As such, the ones who were truly battling it out were the relatively small fries who didn’t hold sufficient ranking status.

Mia had attained Awakened rank in the morning after her first intimate night with Eren. She was teased a lot by him because he said it was his ‘efforts’ that elevated her to Awaneked rank.

Eren and Mia’s return was a hot topic in the discussions conducted by Stardust guild members. Mia breaking into Awakened rank and becoming the guild’s valuable asset was one thing. The other was the fact that some random guy had managed to solo 6 Spiders all by himself.

Eren had never fought with the Spiders before this. But others did. Some of them were aware of how Spiders operated. The members of their enemy guild weren’t easy to deal with. Most of all, their doctrine was to always use ambush and debuffs to their advantage.

The Spiders had a lot of debuff experts. Their ambush was on point and very effective. Plus, their teams were always balanced.

Thus, some of the Stardust guild members who had fought with Spiders before found it really hard to believe that someone like Eren could solo kill 6 of them.

But when they heard the kill amount Eren had received from the guild, they were even more shocked. Because that amount told them that Eren couldn’t just kill anyone from Spiders. But he had slayed some of the most powerful rankers within their class.

It was natural that Eren would receive such a backlash from his own guild members. He just found it stupid that the idiots were busy fighting with each other when an enemy was targetting them.

“Yes. they were all kids. Because they called me daddy before I killed them.

You will call me daddy too if you don’t get the fuck away from blocking my view.”

Eren said casually with a poker face. He knew that his will was getting exerted into everything he said and did ever since he had started using Hex spells. As a result, his primal feelings would easily surface.

However, Eren was already doing his darnedest to keep his emotions in check. He didn’t want to escalate the situation. But the way Faim said those things to him didn’t help him stick to his previous plan of keeping quiet.

Of course, he had realized that he needed to visit the Hexers’ testing grounds and meet Kino. she could help him get his emotions and feelings in check. It was not worth losing his cool-headedness for a dominant will. That’d be counterintuitive for him.

However, Eren knew that he was not ready to face the remaining two stages of the Hexers’ testing grounds Kino had in store for him. He needed to master a certain spell before getting back in there.

The rankers surrounding Eren were a bit shocked when they heard Eren’s witty reply. They then looked at Faim and saw his tongue-tied expressions. Therefore, they couldn’t help looking at each other. Their target of mockery seemed to be Faim.

“Bastard, who do you think you are…”
