Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Novel

Chapter 1747 Elementalists, Seraphs, and Angels P2

Elementalists also used a special set of Tantras to cultivate their Path.

Their Tantras often required them to be immersed in or stay in the vicinity of the element they were supposed to wield. For example, a fire-type Elementalist would often prefer to stay in the volcanic region, naturally or artificially created. An Elementalist with a water-type element would be found in a large body of water.

The F-Ranked Elementalists were recognized as Neophytes while the E-Ranked Elemnatlists who could battle on equal grounds with Ace Rankers were referred to as Tyros. The title of Scholar was given to D-Rank Elementalists whereas Elite nomenclature was used for C-Ranked entities.

The titles of Maestro, Savant, Eminence, and Seraph were given to Elementalists who broke into B-Rank, A-Rank, S-Rank, and +S-Rank respectively. It was said that some capable Seraphs could get rid of their mortal shells if they wanted to and still survive using their Mana Bodies.

Such Seraphs were considered pseudo-Immortals. After all, they could survive indefinitely as long as their souls were not dispersed because of internal or external influence. They were often used as representatives of certain Immortals because of this aspect, ensuring the faith they represented remained strong within the masses for generations after generations.

The Elementalists attaining the esteemed Seraph rank, serving as emissaries for the Immortals they embodied, were commonly known as Angels among the populace of Labh Salem.

These pseudo-immortal beings were considered bearers of the faith they personified, earning profound respect from both their patron Immortal and the devout followers of the corresponding belief.

The B-Rank was a huge turning point for Elementalists who kept on walking forward in their Path.

All those who could achieve this Rank were able to transform their bodies into compatible elements at least partially if not entirely.

As such, they were hard to kill. The B-Ranked and beyond Elementalists often came out unscathed even when confronted in close combat.

After all, the Elementalists who could turn their bodies into their compatible elements could not be dealt physical damage. They were impervious to all forms of slash attacks, bludgeoning, and physical weapons as long as this elemental transformation was active.

They could also use this Mana Body Transformation to increase their agility and intelligence. They could fly in the air with greater versatility than their counterparts from other Paths.

As such, those who battled with Elementalists could imbue their attacks with potent Spiritual Force to hurt them. The Skills or weapon-type attacks coated in a dense amount of Spiritual Force were fatal to the Elementalists.

However, the Elementalists were the masters of wielding the Spiritual Force to begin with. Almost all of them had higher reserves of Spiritual Force, sharper Spiritual Sense, and a more well-defined Soul Space than Rankers, Body Cultivators, Witches and Warlocks.

Only Dreamweavers were somewhat considered a threat to the Elementalists when it came to battling a Spiritual Force battle. But Dreamweavers were not that common. Thus, their weakness to the Spiritual Force-imbued attacks was not considered a weakness at all.

After all, only those with higher amounts of Spiritual Force than their Elementalist opponents could actually make use of this well-known weakness. Most were not even capable of withstanding a Spiritual Attack initiated by their Elementalist enemies.

The only advantage the Rankers had over the Elementalists were their relatively sturdier bodies as well as their in-depth Weapon Comprehensions. The Elementalists usually did not have time to master their weapons arts to their utmost because they were busy practicing their Tantras in a compatible element-rich environment.

Horen was busy planning his strategy for the upcoming round when he heard Vasco's question. He pressed his lips against each other briefly before answering.

"Well… to be honest, I don't think anything of that guy," Horen said to Vasco Joel in answer, a smirk playing across his lips. "And you shouldn't take him seriously as well. He'll soon be history now that he has messed with all the big-shots."

"That may be true," Vasco nodded in understanding before speaking further. "But since he claims to be the true Inheritor of the Elder Ichor, I suspect that he has one of the most powerful or versatile Elder Seed Artifacts. At least one of them, possibly two if his claims have any real merits to them.

We could become Elder Seeds as well if we were to kill the guy and take his Elder Seed Artifacts for ourselves," he said as he looked in the distance in contemplation.

Horen was stunned by his peer's assessment. "I never thought of this," he said after thinking on the matter for a bit. "So you think we should join the hunt?"

"Yes," Vasco responded quickly. "It'll be better if we could clear the final round and become a bonafide Demon Slayers. That way, we'll have the means available at our disposal to carry out the hunt," he said as his gaze landed on the Dimensional Gate once again.

"Who are we hunting?"

Suddenly asked a voice behind the duo.

Horen and Vasco were both caught off guard when this happened. They couldn't believe that someone had managed to sneak up behind them. Both of them turned around instantly to look at the man who had just appeared on the scene.

"Who… who are you?"

Vasco didn't like that the man had almost scared them to death with his sneaky approach. It also seemed that he was listening to their conversation. Plus, he couldn't believe that he was able to interfere with his Spiritual Sense to turn himself invisible.

Both Vasco and Horen felt no threat coming from Eren. For a moment, they felt as if they were facing a mortal man who was not even a low-level Practitioner. But that's what terrified them the most. They could instantly sense that Eren was more than he let on.

"He… he is a Ranker," Vasco opened his eyes wide and spoke a bit louder than usual. This was the shock he had after realizing Eren's Path.

As an A-Ranked Savant, he was supposed to have a more dominant Spiritual presence compared to a Grandmaster. And yet, the emerald-green-eyed man in front of him wasn't intimidated by the spiritual suppression he was exuding at the time.
