Chapter 155: Link Between Beast Contract Spell & Therianthropy

"Exactly. We cultists don't seem crazy now, do we?"

The slave smirked at her master with that retort. But Eren gave her no response, indicating that she should proceed further.

"Yes. The Beast contract spell is an inferior version of the path of therianthropy. The ability to call forth the beast soul and make it inhabit the semi-corporal body made of mana might look like an advantage the contract spell has over Anthropos, but trust me when I say that it is not.
