Chapter 1741 Sin Series Marks V2

?After Eliza's cautionary advice, Layla abandoned the idea of delving into the potion synthesized by Eren.
In her pursuit of concocting something groundbreaking, she had momentarily forgotten the formidable and vicious nature of the individual involved.
"That vile man... we should never underestimate him," Layla murmured to herself, stowing away the potion vial.
The Little Witch's homunculus vessel rendered her unable to personally test the potion. However, Eliza had a cadre of other subordinates available for testing, allowing her to analyze the fiend transformation's effects.
"So that's what he meant by 'trusting in oneself,'" Layla pondered Eren's words.
"But, Master Eliza, this potion has a significant drawback. It severs the users' connection to the gods and demons they worship. Corrupted souls and bodies essentially make them akin to monsters from Echidna.
However, they won't be able to worship the monster gods either due to their distinct bloodline genesis. Who would take such a drastic step, bidding farewell to their existing faiths?" Layla voiced her thoughts, a hint of curiosity and disbelief in her tone.
"Never underestimate the frustration within some so-called unlucky individuals from both factions," Eliza responded with a light smile as she settled into a chair within a meticulously maintained palace garden. Preparing a cup of warm tea, she took a slow sip before continuing.
"Injustice is inevitable within both factions, affecting those who don't deserve it. The followers of Immortals become embittered, feeling suffocated by the hold their factions exert over them.
Eren plans to target this frustrated demographic within both factions, converting them into followers of his own. With the fiend transformation being irreversible, the number of his followers will inevitably grow over time," Eliza explained, savoring her tea while gazing at the Dragon Palace in front of her.
"I… I see," Layla responded as she processed her master's words and found them to be logical. She patted the baby dragon's head with her small hands as she started thinking of various things at once.
Eliza spoke again, snapping Layla from her reverie of Eren.
"Layla dear, those potions were not the only thing he put up in the Menaka's Market. You might want to check the Tools of Liberation section again," Eliza advised as she watched the baby dragon falling asleep in Layla's arms.
'This beast is still too young. I need to find ways to expedite his growth,' the Witch of the Enderflames thought to herself as she looked at the beast she had tamed.
"Hm? Oh right!" Layla smacked her forehead once again as she immediately accessed her Spectral Screen once again. She soon found the entry her master was talking about.
[ Seven-headed Serpent's Bite: A spectral rendition of the seven-headed serpent statue is created for the user. The users could gain altered forms of Sin Series Marks after being bitten by the spectral rendition of the serpent.
The True Inheritor of the Elder Ichor has used his Edict to alter the demonic contracts. As such they wouldn't be called by their regular nomenclature anymore.
The altered forms of the Sin Series Marks would also skip on making the users sign a Faustian Contract with any demon consciously or subconsciously. As such, the users of the altered version of the Sin Series Marks would be able to use their demonic abilities for longer periods without losing their sense of self in the process.
The Seven-headed Serpent's Bite could also be used by entities who currently use Sin Series Marks. If the users decided to proceed forward in this case, their existing Faustian Contracts would get nullified, undoing the existing demonic possession if there's any.
As such, the altered forms of the Sin Series Marks could be used by individuals who want to terminate their Faustian Contracts willingly. The demonic exorcism caused by this feature would not be harmful to the users, allowing them to terminate their contracts with their respective demons without suffering from any short or long-term soul-related side-
effects.
Users are advised to exercise caution – accepting the altered version of the Sin Series Marks permanently changes the user's state of being, transforming them into corrupted life forms. Both their bodies and souls undergo corruption, rendering the faith energy generated by such fiends incompatible with the divine and demonic factions.
Thus, users will be unable to unlock divine or demonic Skill Trees. The existing Blessings from their patron Immortals would cease to work on them. Any additional buffs caused by the Immortals' influence would also be nullified.
The Seven-headed Serpent's Bite could be availed in the form of booking slots, exclusively in Maneka's Market. However, the Mesh can only allow a fixed number of users to avail of this product.
As such, expect cooldown times and waiting periods. Users are encouraged to avail of this product in advance to avoid rushing and overburden the Mesh.
Can only be used by Children of Creation.
A single booking slot per Menaka's Blessing User.
Buyout price: 500 Menaka's Runes.]
"FUCCCCCCCK!"
Layla's vehement curse sharply contrasted with her cute and innocent appearance. Once again, she was taken aback by Eren's audacity in placing such an item in Menaka's Market for his potential followers.
"This man has gone crazy since arriving in Labh Salem," Layla remarked, looking at Eliza with a stressed expression.
"This is the most audacious 'Fuck You' directed at all seven Demon Princes and 72 Ars Goetia Demons. I don't know how he could do something like this, but what I do know is that from now on, all demonic cults will pursue Eren like bloodhounds on a thirst hunt."
The Little Witch predicted, sighing with a sense of disappointment at Eren's apparent recklessness and arrogance.
While the conventional Sin Series Marks caused the user's soul to become increasingly demonised with each use, Eren's version did not carry such a disadvantage. Users would retain control over their will, regardless of how frequently they employed the Sin Series Marks.
The unexpected bonus of the Bite being able to annul existing Faustian Contracts for the users added an element that caught everyone by surprise.
