Eren was ready to offer his team most of the other resources he had obtained from Nira''s legacy. The ones he had no use for.
He was also willing to give Renita Nira Nightshade''s transcendent-grade bow. After all, with Alephee around, he didn''t have any problem upgrading his weapons at all.
However, he was intending to use the array disk himself.
His bloodline and constitution allowed him to gain multiple sses. He would be foolish not to add them to his repertoire.
***
Eren was seen standing inside an array.
The array was expanded around him as soon as he sent his mana sense into it and imbued it with his mana. In the next moment, a peculiar mana pulse was released in the surroundings before the array started operating by itself.
Eren had already used his white-haired transformation. His tribal tattoos exuded a faint light. It was as if they were responding to the changes happening around him.
''*Sigh. It''s going to hurt like a bitch again.''
Eren thought to himself before pressing his lips against each other. He then sat cross-legged in the center of the array which was considered the array eye. He closed his eyes and clenched his hands in anticipation of what wasing for him.
Thest time Eren received a summoner ss, it had given him mind-numbing pain. After all, even with his unique constitution, he was transitioning to being a summoner from being a closebat expert. So he had to face the repercussions of introducing major changes to his mana circuits.
Eren had been through a severe form of mana control training under Alephee''s guidance. As a result, his tolerance threshold was much higher than a regr ranker''s. Still, he was unable to ignore the feelings of sufferingpletely.
''Fcck!''
Eren cursed in his head as his mana circuits started getting reforged inside the array. The array started destroying his mana points and mana pathways, forcing him to experience extreme forms of pain.
Eren started sweating all over his body. The skin over his exposed torso and limbs started to rupture, and he turned into a bloody mess all over again. The only reason he didn''t scream like a madman was that he had sealed his lips using a simple rune.
Eren''s constitution started adapting to the ongoing changes in real time. His body started healing his injuries and forming new pathways and mana points, which were moreplex than before. They were also more malleable than before.
? A pool of blood was created around the butcher. He still had his eyes closed. His expressions were distressed, indicating that he was suffering from some form of torture. However, one could also see a tinge of excitement hidden in his expression. The excitement of getting a new ss.
Eren lost track of time in the process. When he finally opened his eyes, he felt like he was in apletely different body.
"Hmm? There are indeed visible changes."
Lightning struck and Eren stood up. However, he felt like he was faster than before. The fluency of his movement spells had increased.
"Let''s see."
Eren started analyzing himself as he stretched his limbs. He started disappearing from one ce only to appear in the other corner of the hall.
"I am naturally leaner and taller in this form. My agility has increased. And I can see more clearly than before. My mana sense is also sensitive to long-range activities.
My mana circuits feel different as well."
Eren started using Ken''s Fist Arts to gauge his strength and found out that it had deteriorated. He also felt that he would have trouble executing his closebat moves with his changed physique and altered mana circuits.
The summoner ss Eren was using before this hadn''t introduced many visible changes to his looks. But that was because the summoner ss didn''t focus on a ranker''s physicality at all. It focused on enabling the ranker to summon better creatures who would fight the summoner''s battle.
However, the ranger ss was different.
Changing into the ranger ss meant that Eren had to focus on executing his long-range attacks all by himself. He didn''t have the ferocity of a closebat expert at his disposal. So he needed to maintain a safe distance from his opponents.
On the other hand, Eren would be able to target multiple targets simultaneously using long-range attacks in conjunction with the ranger ss. He would be able to take care of his enemies without having to face a frontal sh. That is if he used his cards correctly.
"Hm. I have various battle styles at my disposal right now. But none of them would allow me to make full use of this new ss.
I need aprehensive set of spells, weapons, and moves to get the best out of this ss."
Afterward, Eren spent a few minutes moving around in the hall. He felt like the more powerful he became, the more fields of study were opening up to him.
Eren had devoured the experiences of a few rangers by this point. So the transition to the Ranger ss wouldn''t be too difficult for him anyway. He just needed to fine-tune those experiences to make them fit his needs.
The butcher was d for his bloodline at this point. The fact that he could amodate multiple sses was not the only reason. But he was also d the fact that he did not have any conflicts with any element he chose. As a result, no matter which ss he unlocked for himself, he would be able to use a variety of spells to bring more variation to his battle styles.
Eren felt excited about the work that he was supposed to put into honing the new ss. He clenched his fists before speaking to himself.
"I am the least prepared to use the ranger ss to its fullest potential today. So it will be tough to get used to it. Still, I have a feeling all my efforts will be worth it.
Keke. One down. Three more sses to im."
