Chapter 197: Staunch Believer of Gender Equality P1

“Lava Shell!”

The lava pond around Veronica immediately started concentrating with her at the centre. Then it took the shape of a sphere with the lava mage standing inside it. The red hot lava unexpectedly cooled down rapidly due to the ranker’s mana interfering in the natural process.

Soon the almost-complete sphere turned charcoal black in shade with bright crimson lines running on its surface like some intricate pattern. This was Veronica’s defensive spell: Lava Shell.

Lava Shell required that the caster first cast Lava Pond so that the lava can be moulded into a sphere-shaped shell around the caster. That requirement made it impossible for the caster to use the Lava Shell without casting Lava Pond first.

But Veronica didn’t mind that the defensive spell had this requirement. She was used to using Lava Pond all the time. So she was glad that the defensive spell played to her advantage.

The shortcoming of not being to be regarded as a standalone spell was balanced by the spell’s casting time. Since the lava was already up for the spell’s taking, it largely cut down on the execution delay while keeping it easy on the caster’s mana consumption.

That’s why Veronica was able to cast Lava Shell with such ease. She was almost secured from external harm if and when the spell completed the construction of the sphere around her.

The inclusion of Lava Shell made Veronica even more confident in using her signature spell Lava Pond. Whenever she felt threatened she’d enter the Lava Shell and spread her mana sense to observe the situation outside.

The spell would buy enough time for her team to deal with the enemy waiting outside while Veronica stayed inside the shell safely. Although rare, Veronica had been saved by the spell several times in her team’s previous battles.

So when she sensed something was wrong, Veronica didn’t have to think twice about which spell she was going to use next. Additionally, the spell was almost complete.

But alas, Eren had been too fast for anyone like the lava mage. It held true even with her preemptive actions and her ideal spell combo. The sphere construction reached her shoulders in height, with only her head peeking outside. Another few moments and she’d be completely safe from external harm.

This was when Eren showed up right above the lava sphere in the air. He didn’t waste any time. Because he knew that if he did, dealing with the bitch would become extremely difficult.

“Blitz Bolt!”

Veronica was almost done with her Lava Shell. There was only a small entrance over her head that was rapidly getting closed on her.

But just as it was about to completely seal her in, a bolt of lightning made its way through the opening and landed on her.

Eren had sent his mana circuits on hyperdrive to get the most out of the Blitz Bolt and extend its range a bit. As a result of its sheer power and stunning effect, Veronica was forced to dispel her defensive shield against her will.

Veronica felt the full burn of the lightning spell. Thanks to her mana layer that she had deployed unconsciously, she was still able to stay awake. Otherwise, she would have been long since passed out. Things could have been much direr had Eren concentrated his attack on her vital organs.

But the butcher wanted to punish the bitch without getting punished for it. So he had chosen the back of Veronica’s neck for the Blitz Bolt’s point of impact.

“Eyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

To cope with the spell’s adverse effects, Veronica screamed. There was no way her Lava Shell spell would be executed properly anymore. So she dispelled it before it was forcefully dispelled.

Veronica’s determination to act under the situation was what helped her regain some control and she cast her signature spell again.

Her almost-formed Lava Shell was cracked before crumbling down. The remains of the shell along with the nearby ground quickly started turning into lava. Veronica now had a brand-new Lava Pond to herself.

The newly created lava whips were created from the Lava Pond. They started their hunt for the vile creature who had hurt their master till she almost soiled her pants. But Eren was expecting this and was already on top of things.

Sedated Perception + Stunning Speed!

Eren also launched an altered version of the fireball spell and coated his feet with balls of fire. The Blitz Steps could not be performed after three spells were active so his trademark lightning feet were covered with only yellow blobs of fire.

Eren had done this to counter Veronica’s lava for a short time. The blobs of fire will have their mana fire, which would prevent the mana fire generated by lava from affecting Eren’s feet, only if temporarily.

Eren only needed to step over the Lava pond for a short while anyway. So he didn’t hesitate to abandon his Blitz Steps and settle for this variation to match the situation.

Now with the distance almost negligible, it didn’t take a long time for the butcher to get close to Veronica. He grabbed her face with his one hand while she was focusing on his afterimage getting pierced by her lava whips.

Eren placed his other hand right over the girl’s stomach and executed Blitz Bolt again while looking at Veronica in her eyes. Her sensitive bladder had a bolt of lightning running through it along with other organs near her stomach.

Veronica had just found the joy of capturing the vile creature with her lava whips. The whips had quickly caught up with her approaching enemy and pierced him.

‘No. This isn’t right.’

Veronica thought and narrowed her eyes on Eren getting pierced by her lava whips. When she observed that it was only the guy’s afterimage that had gotten pierced, she was reminded of a grim possibility. There was a possibility that Eren was faster than she thought and could handle her easily.

Veronica wanted to look around her to pinpoint her opponent’s location. But it turned out that she didn’t have to. That’s because Eren’s cold blue eyes were staring right at her the next moment when she thought of taking countermeasures.

Veronica felt a bolt of lightning pass through her stomach. She was stunned before feeling numb from her waist down.

Plus, Eren’s emotionless eyes made her scared for her life. It invoked the primal fear in her heart that she hadn’t felt before. All this was enough for her to lose control of her bladder.

Veronica peed her pants in the battle ring.

=====================

AN: Hi, there. VEH will have five privilege tiers starting this month. So I thought I should make a few things clear to new readers who aren’t aware of the privilege tiers. Feel free to skip this note in case you already know.

What is privilege?

Privilege lets you see stockpiled chapters ahead of their intended release date by paying coins. However, it is a subscription that is going to run out at the end of the month.

Therefore, it is HIGHLY recommended you buy B-Rank and above privilege tiers at the start of every month as opposed to the end. Though it doesn’t matter for the F-Rank and D-Rank tiers considering how affordable they are.

If you just wish to support the author, buying the F-Rank tier and constantly unlocking the privileged chapters as they come out would be enough. It will contribute to their win-win unlocks, helping them get featured and have a wider audience.

Privilege can sometimes contain a discount on chapter purchases, which means any chapters purchased through privilege will be discounted. This includes any chapters you unlock with coins after the initial privilege purchase.

How to support the author?

In general, reading, as well as voting with power stones/Golden Tickets, helps increase the popularity of our novel. But they do not directly support the author monetarily.

The only way to do this is through spending coins on the novel. Do you want to get more coins while also giving the author the most money you can?

There’s a simple way to do it. Buy coins through Paypal. You can get redirected to Paypal by clicking ‘up to 15% more in the top-up section on your phone.

Android and iOS platforms take their hefty cut if you pay through their app store, making authors only get around 27% of what you spend. If you purchase your coins using Paypal, the author will receive more of what you paid. Plus, you get more coins for personal use as well. So that’s another win-win.

In short, if you spend 100$ through the Android or iOS app store, the author gets $27. But through Paypal, they get $42. This is because the app stores take a massive cut from any profits.

Unlocking chapters, sending Gifts, and buying privilege tiers give the same amount of money relative to the coins spent. But Gifts would have a small bonus on top if they are relatively large.

You get a Golden Ticket that you can manually spend for every set of 500 coins you spend on unlocking chapters and privileges. However, you can get a Golden Ticket for about every 300 coins after buying Gifts.

That’s why a 500 coin gift gives one golden ticket, while a 1000 coin gift gives 3 golden tickets you can place on this book. Or any other book you wish to support.

One of the most effective ways to support the author is by buying a 5000 coin or higher Gift. Because your contribution will be announced globally to all readers in the message section of the All app, enabling them to see the book through your contribution notification.
