Chapter 444 – The Source of the Seven Deadly Sins (1)

Next to the name of my stat window, an unknown number is written.

[?:5.0001%]

Obviously, 0.0001% when absorbing the magic stone taken from Mine along with Riel.
I remembered that the 5% was up when I killed the demon that attacked Jeju Island and absorbed the source of gluttony.

I’ve always wondered what this number means, but I couldn’t figure it out without any hints.
I didn’t even have heartburn.

“Are you going to give me a hint?”
“Yes that’s right.”

Let’s put aside how we know about these numbers for now.
I don’t think they’ll kindly tell you even if you ask.

So, should I accept this deal?

‘If you know… ‘

Until now, I didn’t know anything about this number, but it didn’t bother me.
Maybe in the future, I don’t know until when.

But nothing bad to know.
No, I just need to know

But before that, two things should be pointed out.

“Before that, just answer one thing.”
“What is it?”
“You… Are you my enemy?”

If it’s not my enemy, there’s no need to be vigilant.

“Rather… I’d say it’s more like a colleague.”

[This is the truth.]

The dragon’s eye was activated, and the woman named Pride announced the truth.

“And those guys?”
“Yes.”

[This is the truth.]

If this were to happen, she did not have to turn down the deal.
Then finally.

“Sister, I think you will be fine.”
“Okay?”
“Yes, but is your sister okay?”

She needed to ask Na-young, even if it was a date that had already been half ruined by the terror of the demons.

“Yeah, of course not. Dating isn’t the problem now.”
“Yes, then I will accept the deal.”
“… It’s good. Then, there is a place that I have seen in advance, so please follow me. Two idiots are following you.”
“Okay.”

She turned on her cube watch in response to Pride’s words.
I’ll have to contact the other kids.
However, the Cube Watch did not pick up radio waves.

“Why are you kissing that?”

Pride asked as soon as he turned on the cube watch.

“I was trying to get in touch… Did you do it?”
“Yes. And you don’t have to contact me. She’s already taken care of the terrorism, so it should be fine.”
“Not that.”
“Is it because of other lovers?”

Replied with a nod of her head.

“Don’t worry, I sent someone over there as well.”

∴

“At this point… I guess.”

After Hyewon and Shinhye joined, they moved to a place where people were rare and looked around, Pride said.

“Are you going to fight here?”

Although it is sparsely populated, there are densely built buildings around it.
It’s not a place for proper sparring.

“Of course not. Please wait for a moment.”

Dark energy, demonic energy began to flow from Pride’s body.

‘For sure… I haven’t felt it at all until now.’

It must mean that I am strong enough to hide the demonic aura.
Then it would be the same for Leth and Envy.

While she was looking at them for a while, her demonic energy that flowed from her began to condense in her air and spread into a small oval shape.

A whirlpool of complete darkness, like a black hole that can only be seen in science films, swallowing up the surrounding light.

I immediately knew that it was a dimensional door connected to another space.

“Let’s go.” “… Okay.”

Can you open the dimensional door?

Perhaps, it is necessary to raise the evaluation of her skills.
You should keep in mind the possibility that you are stronger than me.

“I go first.”

Leth crossed the dimensional gate first, and Envy followed him.
I also crossed the dimensional gate with Nayoung, and Pride entered last.

With a slight dizziness, my vision flickered for a moment, and as I felt a floating feeling as if I was floating on the sea, an unfamiliar place filled my vision.

A rather large cabin.

Outside the window, she could see the black earth and the red sky, and she could feel the circulation and power of mana within her body weakening.

There is only one place that I know of that has such an environment.

“Here… Are you a demon?”
“Yes that’s right.”

When I asked Pride, she immediately replied with a nod of her head.

“With the demons… Connecting the dimensional gates of the human world… ?”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by her answer.

Opening a portal between different dimensions is not a simple task.

In terms of dimensional magic, it was possible only when it reached the highest level.
On the other hand, my dimensional magic is still at the lowest level.

In addition, Riel paid the price for her 100 years of experience as a wizard in order to move from the world of monsters that was her hometown to the present day.

However, Pride simply opened the dimensional object that is connected to other dimensions without any risk and can exceed 5 people.

Even Lilith, the grand duke of lust, would be unable to do this.

“No surprises. Because it’s just an expedient.”
“No, even if it’s an expedient… I can’t understand it with my common sense.”

I don’t know what that expedient is, but if there is an expedient to open a door connecting different dimensions, the human world is already over and there is still a long way to go.

“You are… , You still don’t know much about the source.”
“Source? You mean you opened a dimensional door with it?”
“I will explain that later. I don’t have much time right now.”

It’s a bit annoying to make people curious and not tell them.

It’s not a friendly relationship yet, so expecting a kind explanation would be overkill.;

“So. Where are you going to fight?”
“Let’s go outside.”

She went out of the cabin with her.

When I came out of the building, I began to see far into the distance through the open field of view.

An empty plain where nothing could be seen was spread out, and the mountains at the end of it covered the horizon, and the tops of the mountains were covered with gloomy clouds, and thunder struck incessantly.

“You just have to fight to come here.”
“Hmm…”

Wide field.
It was a good environment to fight without burden.

“Then did I say Leth?”
“Oh, you can fight me.”

Leth stood in front of me and said.

“What are the sparring rules?”
“Why do we need rules? Fighting with all your might is enough.”

A simple yet tough answer.
I’m confident in my skills, so I guess I’ll say this.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

However, Pride simply dismissed Red’s tough words.

“It is true that you fight with all your strength, but I ask that you do not get hurt if possible. Just like normal sparring.”
“Um, okay.”

It was a sparring with nothing special.

“Hey, are you talking a little weird?”

Leth asked in a disgruntled tone.

“What are you talking about? Are you saying that because I think I’m weaker than him?”

Certainly, his displeasure was understandable.

“So are you. Be careful not to injure yourself in any way.”
“… Joy.”

He still snorted in displeasure, but the dissatisfaction seemed to have subsided somewhat, as he was talking about himself as well as me.

“Then… I’m counting on you?”

He turned to look at me and spoke to me with a light smile.
His anticipation was clearly conveyed through his smile and expression.

“Me too.”

I don’t know why you want to fight with me, but I have to do my best as much as I have to receive.

Activated all buff skills.

Berserk and decisive battle, struggle and breaking through limits.
Finally, congratulations.

At the same time as his stats rose, his body overflowed with strength and he felt a sense of omnipotence that widened his field of view.

‘1.1 times.’

In the struggle, the stat correction value changes according to the gap with the opponent.

And the stats raised against Leth were 1.1x.
It’s not that it didn’t go up at all, so the basic spec itself is a little stronger than me.

“Then are you ready?”

Leth said in a confident tone.
Maybe he already knows that he is stronger than me.

But it doesn’t matter.

I’ve fought countless times with enemies whose stats doubled with my fighting skills, and this gap is more than enough to fill with ease.

“Uh.”

He answered briefly and nodded.

He drew his sword from his waist and slowly approached me.

At the same time, the atmosphere changed completely.
The light atmosphere I had felt so far disappears, and I feel seriousness in the eyes that are looking at me while maintaining a certain distance along with a heavy feeling of pressure.

Judging by the close scrutiny of every little movement I made, I was eagerly waiting for an opportunity to enter.

And that’s me too.

“…”

The angle is not easily visible.
The sword held with both hands is pointed at me.

As long as I kept a certain distance, it was obvious that I would be attacked as long as I entered first.

The gap was not easily visible.

Maybe the other person is in the same situation as me, so he couldn’t come in first.

However, I had no intention of engaging in such a boring and time-consuming battle of search and nerves.

‘Hyewon, now.’
-Huh… !

At the same time as sending a signal to Hyewon, the floor behind Leth split.

Through her feet, the demonic energy that had been secretly sent to the ground surged up through the cracks in the floor, and a black aura gathered around my hair, forming an identical clone.

“What… !”

Less, who was suddenly caught behind her, hurriedly jumped up from her spot and at the same time Hyewon swung her fist.

“It sucks.”

Unfortunately, Leth was faster and the preemptive strike failed.

“This… The source of gluttony.”

Less, who distanced herself from Hyewon, muttered softly as she looked at her Hyewon.

“Is this your first time seeing it?”
“What… , Yes. I haven’t even seen her lust yet.”

Dark energy rose from Leth’s body as he answered plainly.

“Then you… Have you ever seen it?”

The black energy that began to coalesce began to take on a human form.
