“…”
Among the Epic who were properly hit by the quick-fired Bow of Winter, only Calvanas remained.
Everyone except him disappeared, and the condition of the surviving Calvanas was not very good.
Looking at the place where the shock wave swept through, everyone was silent.
Even the furious Silverfang, Hellado, and other wolves.
‘I’m going to die.’
Of course, I wasn’t in a good state either. The amount of energy consumed by the winter bow is terrifying. To the point where he would have died if Zero hadn’t controlled it.
I’m not dead, but my body is tired as if I’m going to die.
However, on the outside, he pretended to be normal and straightened his legs and back.
“Didn’t you tell me? If you attack, everyone will die.”
“This, this is… what is it? what are you?”
Calvanas, whose body had been blown off halfway, knelt on the floor and said,
Unbelievable eyes and facial expressions. He is staring at me with a distorted face in amazement.
This is an unexpected result for me as well.
‘Conditions were good.’
The conditions were good as well.
The Epic voluntarily crawled into the cave. You can’t dodge it even if you shoot straight. Even though only Calvanas reacted and survived, he was driven to the brink of death.
The strategy of freezing the nanomachines with the Cheonma Warlimbo and shooting the bow of winter in a short time after booting is a situation that I have only imagined in my head.
‘If I complete the unavoidable conditions like the cave, I’ll be able to hit the dragon as well.’
Level 130 Calvanas is in that state.
Under the same conditions, I was convinced that I could give Malfiel a good enough hit.
The Heavenly Demon’s lordship causes all nanomachines around it to discharge.
The discharged nanomachine attempts to reboot itself, and at this time, all programs and commands previously applied to the nanomachine are initialized.
In other words, it becomes a state of complete ‘defenseless’.
Of course, the more specialized an entity is in dealing with nanomachines, the greater the damage.
In the case of ‘Epic’, which was derived from nanomachines and awakened, such a tendency is inevitably stronger.
Calvanas and his companions are like that.
The Shadow Brigade made up of Epic.
‘I can’t use it on the same target twice, but…’
Once is enough.
Directing the same situation twice means that I have already lost.
If I use it once in the first place, won’t I also be discharged? Since there was no way to get a second chance, it was a trump card that should only be used in a fatal situation.
It’s not difficult to avoid if you’re determined to avoid it.
For example, if you have trained your body to the limit, you can easily avoid it.
This is because the discharge of nanomachines does not impose restrictions on the body.
“Freezing mana. Are you a dragon? Ha, but even a dragon is like this…”
Calvanas was talking gibberish.
They attacked with confidence, but they couldn’t have imagined that they would be annihilated in one blow.
I slowly approached Calvanas.
Then, Calvanas trembled with fear.
“line. Aren’t you a ‘stranger’ like me? I have lived a life where I have not been able to settle down anywhere and have not been recognized for being ‘different’!”
Even if you exert the power of emotional assimilation, it will not work.
But I got it.
Even though I’m not epic, I’ve lived the ‘life that can’t settle down’ as Calvanas calls it.
Even being enthroned as an emperor in the past was not my own will.
Fingers were pointed across the continent without being understood.
“Whose side are you on? Humans, strangers, or wolves? If not, are you on the side of the Twelve Lords? No, no. I can only empathize with you. If you change your mind even now…!”
“You talk too much.”
I reached out and grabbed Calvanas’s head.
If he had stayed still anyway, Calvanas would have attacked first.
There would be no complaints as it was just a quicker hit than the one being hit.
And from the first time we met, ‘gluttony’ was reacting to Calvanas more than other epics.
[Express process ‘Gluttony’ is running.]
[Absorbs the special process ’emotion assimilation’.]
[Nanomachine energy total increased by 10%.]
“Stop it! quit! Please don’t take me away…!”
Gluttony opens its mouth and sucks in Calvanas.
Zero stole the nanomachines and powers from Calvanas, which had been sucked up by gluttony.
emotional fairy tale. The power to move others by assimilating my emotions into those around me.
At the same time, the ‘memories’ of Calvanas passed through my head.
-Did you hear? Calvanas is not human.
– Calvanas. you are the devil
-Kill the devil! Kill!
-Someone like you should never have been born!
These are memories that I heard and saw a lot somewhere.
It’s like going through my memory.
Now I understand a little why Calvanas was disgusting from the beginning.
It must be because it felt like a mirror to me.
‘Whose side are you on?’
If he had only intended to side with humans, he would have stopped Silver Fang from hunting for humans.
If I had been on Epic’s side, I wouldn’t have killed Calvanas.
If I had been on the side of the wolves, I would have fought with them, but I didn’t.
Twelve? They were the evils of the world that must be eradicated.
‘I am on my side.’
I am not on anyone’s side.
Even though I’m walking a different path from the past, that doesn’t mean my past has disappeared.
Haven’t we seen the ugly side of humans countless times?
So I’m on my side
You can be on anyone’s side except for the gods in the sky, and you can’t be on anyone’s side.
‘This is the second time that Gluttony has absorbed the power properly.’
When absorbing the dragon in the Northern Holy Land and when absorbing Calvanas.
At first, I brought ‘Dragon Armor’ and this time I brought ‘Emotional Fairy Tale’.
This is the second time.
Absorbing other epics has never brought power.
It was just a slight increase in the total amount of energy or the amount of nanomachines.
What is the difference between Calvanas and other epics? strong? Or my feelings?
When I finished absorbing it and looked back, Hella’s expression hardened.
It was only natural to see the words of those who were absorbed by gluttony.
“Amazing. It’s only for a moment, but I thought it would cut off even the power of the seed of the deadly sins…”
Silver Fang murmured.
The wolves around them are clearly embarrassed.
The seed of the deadly sins, Hella’s ability as a queen bee.
The source of the power that makes all the nanomachines around him subordinate to him was cut off for a while.
It is the power that makes you sacrifice everything for Hela.
Is that why? Silver Fang’s eyes lit up a little.
The two dead eyes returned to normal for a while.
Gedda regained reason.
Conversely, Hella’s eyes filled with fear.
“Hella. Because of the ‘power of enchantment’ possessed by the Seed of the Deadly Sins, I regarded you as my own child.”
“…”
Raised humans, not wolves.
The seed of the deadly sins, because of the enchanting power of Hella.
If it wasn’t for that, it wouldn’t make sense for wolves to raise humans in the first place.
Even if he is one of the seven deadly sins.
As Hella fell silent, Silverfang continued.
“You must have known. That all the beings around you are trying to covet you. That I would give everything for you.”
Wolves gathered.
Epic also gathered.
Even the dragons and even the gods wanted Hella.
It is because of the powerful authority that strengthens and binds the surroundings.
So Silver Fang protected Hella. He sacrificed his life to fight the dragon. He wiped out the humans, and as his life drew to a close, he tried to give his life to the guide of gluttony.
But in an instant, the fascination stopped and he regained his reason.
It happened when the guide of gluttony stamped his foot.
I felt all the mana disappear like blank paper in an instant and then come back again.
Hella asked cautiously.
“······ not now? Because I’m not a wolf?”
She too is feeling it.
that the bond has weakened.
The strong bond between the wolves centered around him was severed in an instant.
When the bond was broken, Hella couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Only this bond, which she had felt from the first awareness, kept her at peace. But now that the bonds are gone, Silverfang and the wolves might attack her back.
“Hella, you are my family now and forever.”
Now that I have regained my reason, there are things I can say sincerely.
Even though it started with authority, after that, Hella was a family of Silver Fang and wolves. Even if the bond is broken.
It is a family, not a sharing between humans and wolves.
Family is immortal.
Water droplets formed in Hella’s eyes.
Silverfang then turned and looked at me.
“Gluttony guide. Can you guide Hella to the main body of the Great Sin Church?”
The main body of the Great Sin Church?
How could I know that the Empire and the Sacred Church were not found.
answered truthfully.
“I don’t know where the headquarters is.”
“On the other side of this world… in the Demon Realm.”
······ To the Demon Realm?
Could it be that you are referring to the demon world on the other side of the Dragon Blood Society?
The only entrance to the Pandemonium was blocked by Rod with a curtain of lightning.
Secretly sending Hella beyond that is not an easy task.
“When they arrive at the main altar, even the gods and dragons won’t be able to find Hella. If you lead the other Sin Archbishops there, you will be able to become a Sin Archbishop.”
“Pang can take you.”
“… Hella. Even though reason has returned, my life is still dying out. If I die like this, my ‘factor of anger’ will flow to someone else. However.”
The authority of the Seven Deadly Sins is passed on to others upon death.
I was saying that.
Silverfang looked at me and continued.
“’Gluttony’ is the only one that can store the power of the Seven Deadly Sins. That’s why I have no choice but to have a bad relationship with the other Seven Deadly Sins, and I have no choice but to be weak.”
The power to steal the power of the Seven Deadly Sins.
That is the original purpose of gluttony.
However, the power of gluttony was meaningless unless it was absorbed.
At best, it is all about being free from radioactive materials.
However, it was a power that could become the strongest if it could absorb other powers.
Like absorbing the Dragon Armor and Emotion Fairy Tales.
And if you can absorb even the higher level ‘Power of the Seven Deadly Sins’, you can become the strongest.
“Take Hella safely to the main altar. I won’t ask for more than that.”
“I will.”
He nodded and replied.
If that’s the condition for passing your anger on to me, it’s not a bad deal.
“Gluttony guide. You are the one who can cut off the ‘power of fascination’ that even I couldn’t stand. That’s why you can trust Hella with peace of mind.”
“Pang!”
“Hella. my sweet child My power and will will go with gluttony. So don’t be too sad.”
“ah······.”
In the end, Hella shed tears.
But there is no time.
Silver Fang looked at me and urged me.
“Before Malfiel notices, let’s start.”
*
Gluttony opened its mouth.
In an instant, the factor of anger began to flow into me.
The most corrupt and wonderful power of the Seven Deadly Sins.
My whole body feels like it’s going to be crushed. The mind is filled with anger.
The factor of anger that flowed through his hands was expressed and his body was colored black.
[Absorbs the special process ‘rage’.]
[warning. The energy of ‘Rage’ has exceeded the allowable limit.]
[warning. It turns into ‘Rage’ state.]
[warning······.]
[·······.]
[warning. Malfiel’s approach has been confirmed.]
[warning. Malfiel is manifesting.]
