Chapter 386 – Sloth (1)

‘…… Who is swearing at me?’

My ears tickled. Dojin scratched his ear and quietly looked down at his chest. Beneath the beating heart- I looked at the skill that did not react easily. Arrogance that was deeply embedded in his chest.

‘It was a strange skill, but…….’

A skill with no explanation. I didn’t know what kind of skill it was. Even when I was able to use that power for a while, it was close to the feeling that the skill possessed an ego and lent me power.

Even now, when I thought I could completely control my body, I couldn’t control that skill.

And Dojin guessed that this skill called arrogance would have a way to break through the hierarchy.

‘Come out – come out immediately.’

Pounding! Only Dojin’s heart pounded and reacted. However, there was no response from his skill. I can’t help it- Do-jin let out a full sigh and touched his chest with a trembling hand.

And the next moment, he stretched out his fingertips and grabbed his heart. The pain pierced through his chest and the feeling of exhaustion created by the flowing blood engulfed his whole body.

‘If you don’t come out, I’ll just die here…’… !’

As if this life-threatening threat had worked, a woman’s voice began to resonate in Do-jin’s head shortly thereafter.

-You crazy bastard! What are you doing!?
‘Oh, you finally popped out….’
─Quickly heal! Even if you want a quick treatment!?
‘Are you ready to talk?’
─I’ll do it! I will!

Oman said so and urged Dojin to be treated. Do-jin, who took his hand out of his heart only after receiving the word, looked at Ade Lange gasping.

“Heo-eok-chi, treatment… !”
“Master, I always feel- the owner is out of his mind.”
“Sir, it’s noisy….”

Ade Lange put her hand on Dojin’s chest. It wasn’t too difficult for her to heal with her own skills while having a relationship with her, but with the help of her blood suzerain her, she could heal at a much faster rate.

Not long after she closed her eyes, the blood on her floor and the torn pieces of flesh on her chest her began to return to their original places.

Looking down at her chest her, which had been cleaned up without a single scar in an instant, Dojin realized that it was not okay to do something like this.

‘What did Eunha do?’

It wasn’t something she could try simply because she felt no pain. Recognizing the greatness of the galaxy, Do-jin spoke to Oman, who had opened his eyes.

‘Well, this is your colleague, right?’
—…… Won’t you treat me like that?
‘Isn’t it the same?’
—Tsk.

Ohman couldn’t deny Dojin’s words and started kicking her tongue out of her. She didn’t like being treated like everyone else, but she couldn’t deny that she wasn’t wrong.

Feeling the modest arrogance, Dojin immediately asked about the seven deadly sins that exist in this class.

‘Here is sloth. Right?’
—That’s right. Did you hear it too? That guy’s voice.
‘I heard you. Then, how can I catch him?’
─To catch him? That’s impossible
‘…… Impossible, why?’
—Yeah, that guy is a [Sloth].

Indolence is negligence, and negligence is the laziness of procrastination. Therefore, no one can kill sloth.

He said that he would feel a sense of loss at the very act of killing sloth – Oman was certain that he could never kill him.

‘So, are we supposed to stay stuck here?’
—That’s right.
‘…… Am I really going to die?’
─Hey, why are you like this? While pleading not to do so.

Ohman left one more word as if he was very anxious.

– It’s not that I want you to stay here. I mean, you really can’t do anything.

‘…… Really can’t do anything?’

─Well, unless you have a will beyond a sense of mission or duty- it will be impossible to break through indolence. Well, as long as you don’t become a being who was created as a hero from birth.

If there is an opponent who was made that way from birth and doesn’t even understand the concept of sloth or diligence, sloth won’t work.

However, it would be impossible to bring someone who is hard to see even from the outside—Oman answered very arrogantly.

However, Dojin listened to Oman’s words and quietly looked at Emilia. An existence that was forged as a hero from birth, forged by God himself.

* * *

“Eh, me?”

“Yes, you.”

Emilia, who was told that she was the key to breaking through this layer, tilted her head and looked at Dojin.

All she knows how to do is wield a sword ignorantly, what on earth can she do? All she could do, she imagined, was slashing clear enemies.

As a hero, the demon king can be cut down, but the back alley criminals cannot be eradicated.

“I don’t know, I can’t. I don’t even know what to do.”
“It’s the same as usual. Find the enemy, Vera.”
“…… You don’t even know where the enemy is now.”

Hearing Emilia’s words, Dojin crossed her head and pointed at her into the sand. It was after he had already told me the identity of this sand and who he created it.

“Dig in here, find the enemy.”
“No… Wasn’t it supposed to touch this?”
“We do. But not you.”

Even though Dojin only touched a handful of sand, he felt a little exhausted. Considering that his will was as hard as steel, the sand that plundered his will was already the realm of power.

However, unlike Do-jin, who felt despondent because she had only grabbed a handful, Emilia was anxious because she couldn’t even guess what she had been taken away from, and she said she didn’t show any abnormalities.

“Because you are a warrior.”
“…… Still.”
“It’s okay, trust me who believes in you. You can do it.”

After a long persuasion, and with the judgment that there was nothing she could do anyway, even if she kept rejecting it, Emilia made up her mind to dig into the sand.

After receiving all kinds of protective magic and blessings from Aderange and Charlotte, she dived into the sand.

Watching Emilia sink into the sand little by little, Do-jin sat in her seat her and waited patiently for her success her.

“—Master, are you okay?”
“Believe. Because that’s all we can do.”
“It’s true to say from a slave’s point of view, but putting your life in someone else’s hands is truly dizzying.”

Do-jin and his party his saved time like that. Praying for Emilia to reach the source of her indolence.

* * *

Digging deep under her sand, Emilia felt countless grains of sand clinging to her own skin her.

It is said to be a magical creature that looks like sand but is not, and steals morale. And she said that she would not be of any use to her because her will her was limitless and never exhausted.

Indeed it was. She had been digging into this sand for several minutes already, but Emilia didn’t feel any difficulty except that she couldn’t breathe.

Repetitive work that wasn’t too hard, paradoxically, became torture. Being alone in a dark and confined space is bound to be mentally stressful.

‘A warrior or something…… Honestly, it didn’t happen because I wanted it.’

Emilia thought so as she moved forward little by little. These sands didn’t take her spirits away, but they did enough to make her feel depressed.

She went on, and she was motivated, and her depression soared to the tip of her head until it seemed like she was about to die.

‘Crazy, crazy crazy- why are you doing this? We’re fighting right now…….’

It didn’t seem that this sand was simply taking away morale and granting indolence. Hey, lethargy also tends to be seen as part of indolence.

She wouldn’t discourage her from becoming indolent, but it would have been enough to make her lethargic. Emilia, who had become so lethargic, lost even the strength to move forward, so she stopped and abandoned it.

‘I can go further…… No…….’

It’s tough. Her shoulders are heavy, and the expectations are daunting.
What could a mere girl do?
Garbage with no value other than being lucky enough to be chosen by God.

‘I want to give up.’

She did She stopped moving forward, and as she crouched down, she quietly began to lose her will.

Her sands her start to weigh her down from all sides. No matter how powerful she is, she can’t survive in this sandy hell where no air can pass through.

Like this, little by little, slowly, and surely die. Feeling her own death, Emilia remembered the person she most wanted to see.

‘Teacher…….’

Dojin’s face naturally comes to mind. The man who had been kind to her and to her her, who had won her the first time and who had let her know that she could become stronger.

Her first love her, her first kiss, her first experience her.
The one who took everything
He said.

—Trust me.

Wiggle!

Arms that had become completely lethargic wriggled. Her dojin in her head looked at her and smiled at her.

─You can do it.
‘…… I can’t, I want to give up right now.’
-You might think so. Then… It’s okay to give up.
‘Really?’

She asks Can you give up?
Do-jin in her head her spoke to her again.

-It’s okay to give up everything. Instead, according to my words. Move like a doll Don’t question, don’t even think – just like a doll…….

Move for me

Do-jin’s voice starts ringing in her ears. Her motivation her is still rocking. Her lethargy engulfed her whole body her.

Even so, her limbs her move.

“Teacher…….”

Emilia is a warrior.
A warrior chosen by God.
So she was God’s puppet until now.

“Hang in there….”

Not anymore.
She follows whoever she chooses.
She follows the will of her chosen one her.

“It’s almost done, because it’s here—!”

The winter sword freezes to the point of being cold. All the grains of her sand rushing towards her from all sides freeze, and she calmly clears her way.

Emilia just moved forward. She moved on and she moved on. At the end—a man of hers was standing there waiting for her.

─What- It’s not arrogance, to some girl…… ?

Her man who looked at her murmured. She arrived Realizing that fact, Emilia shouted loudly.

“Sweeuuuuu!!!”

Her voice pierced the grains of sand and echoed all the way to the ground. The man in front of her looked at her with an expression as if he didn’t know what he was doing.

At the same time, a blue sword split the sky.

“Well done. Emilia.”

Splitting the sand desert, Dojin stood in front of Sloth.
