Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

1792 Rolce Rahgal Zurich

"Well, let's see what we have here."

Eren murmured to himself with subdued excitement as he examined the statistics of his most recent pseudo-avatar.

Upon dispersing the Echidna's Placenta, he observed a man levitating motionless within the Array Formation. The man seemed to be in his early 40s as per the mortal standards.

This test subject boasted voluminous light brown hair cascading past his shoulders, neatly tied in a bun. Locks of hair framed his handsome and gentle face.

His light brown eyes and light olive skin were complemented by a well-kept Balbo beard, accentuating his square-shaped face. The man exuded scholarly vibes with his looks and Mana Signature.

Clad in a cream-colored light tunic paired with a sleeveless jacket, the premium-looking attire bore the marks of wear and tear, a consequence of spending over a month inside Echidna's Placenta. Eren had subdued the potioner without having to engage him in a frontal combat. Thus, he did not have any signs of battle or marks of injury placed on his body.

Although alive, the man remained in a slumbering state due to the abnormal condition of his soul. Eren resolved to inspect the man's statistics before proceeding to permanently claim ownership of the pseudo-avatar.

"A potioner, huh," Eren mumbled to himself as he read through Rolce's stats. "I remember battling and then defeating this guy a few months back. It took so much effort to subdue him without killing him. I'm surprised he survived the process," he looked at Rolce's sleeping form with a gaze laced in shock.

"Never mind. It's good that he is a Potioner. That was the only profession I didn't have my pseudo-avatars in until today," Eren said to himself and nodded in satisfaction.

Eren had selected his test subjects wisely. He had come to realize over the years that only those who had the same profession as one of his seven professions had a relatively better chance of surviving the assimilation process. As such, he preferred having such test subjects in his sample pool.

Before this day, Eren had one pseudo-avatar per profession. As such, he could control a Summoner, Runemaster, Berserker, Assassin, Ranger, and Close Combat Warrior separately.

The Potioner was the only profession that did not have a dedicated pseudo-avatar. Even in Labh Salem, finding a potioner who Eren could subdue and bring to Sunhaven inconspicuously without altering any potential organization behind them was not easy.

The butcher had to invest a lot of time and resources to abduct Rolce without killing him. He didn't have high hopes from the guy after he checked out his constitution. However, luckily Rolce had survived the assimilation process, making Eren feel that all of his efforts were worth it.

With Rolce's addition, Eren had a pseudo-avatar that represented all of his seven professions. After making sure that everything about Rolce's vessel was in perfect condition, Eren decided to proceed further with the final process of the pseudo-avatar creation.

"Shallot, come out. You are up," he called out to his Elder Seed Spirit Artifact.

Swoosh.

The mirror's Artifact Spirit appeared beside Eren in the next moment. She was in her little girl form as always, wearing a pretty princess dress. She looked at Eren with her curious eyes before landing her gaze on Rolce's slumbering form levitating in front of her.

"Eren, is this your new vessel?" she asked, looking at Rolce carefully while blinking her eyes several times.

"Yes dear," Eren affirmed while caressing Shallot's head.

He then stretched his hand in front of Shallot. "You know what to do," he said. The latter took Eren's hand in hers before closing her eyes. In the next moment, Eren and Shallot both were enveloped in a silvery glow that almost blinded Roza's senses who was standing behind Eren.

It took a while for Eren to create a Soul Imprint using Shallot's help. He had beads of sweat covering his forehead and his breaths were short as if he had run for many million miles without stopping.

Shallot was nowhere to be seen. She had retreated into the isolated domain of the Elder Seed Artifact, which was Eren's sleek-looking bracelet. In her place was a mercury-like substance that looked as if it was alive.

This mercury-like substance stretched and contracted from various nodes in all the directions. It was so mysterious that even one's Spirit Force would have hard time scanning it for what it was.

Eren then stretched out his hand and accessed his Spectral Screen. He converted a significant portion of his accumulated Origin Force Points into pure Origin Force, which appeared in the form of surreal white mist.

Activating the Array Formation once again, Eren made Rolce's slumbering form absorb Soul Imprint and the wisp of Origin Force. He then activated another function of the Array Formation which activated intangible Elemental Clone Skill for him, overlapping over Rolce's physical form.

One could see that Eren had taken inspiration from Eliza's resurrection process, using the data and observations he had collected from the Lazarus Project for his own use. The Array Formation Eren had created to stabilize Echidna's Placenta was integrated with the function similar to Soul-seed Insertion Array.

This function turned Soul Imprint into Soul Imprint Seed before inserting it in Rolce's original soul.
