The girl closed her mouth. "Everyone knows, they know he's here. What will you do, Lilith? Can you protect him from all of us?" the girl asked as she sat on the floor, lifting her head with a small smile. "Everyone wants a piece of him, even you."
The girl put on an adorable smile, walked calmly to the chair, and sat down carelessly. "I want to know why you're trying so hard to protect him. You weren't before… Did you change because of that boy? That would be very interesting to investigate. Of course, for me, it's quite the opposite.
In the end, the only thing I care about is filling the void of my existence." The girl frowned, eyeing the teapot, and in one gulp, devoured everything on Lilith's desk. On her side, Lilith impassively watched the girl's actions.
The girl in her office was one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the sin of Gluttony. She pursed her lips. "I didn't expect them to find out so quickly," she thought, that idea echoing in her mind. Lilith walked toward her seat, sat down, and looked at the mess caused by Gluttony.
"Tell me, Lilith... Why did you bring him back?" Gluttony asked again, clearly very interested in why that smart woman had brought the young man back to Hell. Lilith looked at her deeply. "Nothing in particular. He had some things that could only be found in Hell. Once he finds them, he'll return to the human world."
"Human world..." Gluttony muttered to herself, lowering her gaze a bit. "Envy will definitely go after him. I would like to go too, but... I don't want to ruin my relationship with you. It's complicated enough..." Her eyes darkened. Raising her gaze again, she continued, "What's so good about the human world?
You're always leaving Hell. When I left, I ate a few humans… they're disgusting, especially those believers from that church." Gluttony made a face of disgust and stuck out her tongue slightly.
"Why do you say Envy will go after him?" Lilith ignored most of Gluttony's words but raised an eyebrow at her confidence regarding an attack from Envy.
Gluttony gave a knowing look. "Envy, the sin of envy, you know how he is, and you know what he thinks of you and everyone else. But especially you..."
Lilith clicked her tongue. "That damn snake..." she muttered, conjuring cookies out of thin air and calmly offering them to Gluttony, who accepted them without hesitation. "That's how things are, Lilith. You'd better hurry before it's too late. The pull is very strong, terrifying even."
Lilith stared out the window for a few moments in silence. "Why did you tell me about this?" she asked again. Gluttony could easily take advantage of the situation and devour part of Arthur's soul. Lilith was a bit suspicious of her.
The girl's eyes widened at Lilith's question, her cheeks puffed out with cookies. "I know it bothers you when people touch what belongs to you. I'm very sensitive to that, but in the end, you're my only ally," Gluttony shrugged. "I couldn't form good relationships with the others; they're all a bunch of bastard jerks," she said indifferently.
Lilith gave a small smile. "We can't kill each other. Immortal beings, cursed beings, unique beings... each of us carries a sin imprinted on our souls. If one of us disappears, it will be the beginning of the end for ourselves," she said as she looked out the window again, her eyes shining as they fell upon Arthur. A broad smile appeared on her lips.
No matter how hard she tried to look inside, deep into Arthur's soul, the only thing she could see was a void. But in that void, seven essences flowed quietly in complete harmony. "The original sin..." she thought to herself.
"Thank you for the warning. I'll go right now..." Lilith stood up and slightly lowered her head.
"Wait! I want to go too!" Gluttony also stood up, saying she didn't want to miss the moment.
"Do what you want," Lilith finally agreed, unable to refuse her. After all, Gluttony wouldn't stop until she got a yes in this matter.
The sins of Lust and Gluttony nodded, and their bodies vanished seconds later.
"This place is too dangerous!" Arthur quickly moved his hands. Right in front of him, a large shadow rushed around in a frenzy, filled with complete madness. In his quick reaction, he created a blue flame orb that shot forward at great speed.
"Not at all! This is too much fun!" Violet couldn't stop moving from side to side. A wide smile was plastered on her lips as she wreaked total carnage in the depths of the cave. Her hands were stained with blood, and instead of normal hands, she now had large claws, nearly a meter long. Her eyes were two shining points that glowed brightly in the darkness.
Arthur gave her a grim look before scanning his surroundings. Further ahead, Slyv was there, wielding a spear. Her impressive skill with the spear left Arthur speechless, her lethal precision in facing a large horde of corrupted creatures with just a simple spear...
As he had thought before, they were in the deepest part of the cave, a very dark place with only a small lamp on his wrist providing any light. His field of vision was extremely limited, and he was constantly being taken by surprise, forced to fend for himself.
"According to Slyv, the flower I'm looking for is just up ahead..." Reflecting on this, he glanced again at the two women, but this time focused on their strength. Taking into account what he could observe, they were the same age as him, and their strength was comparable to Leslie and Evelyn… In short, they were monsters!
He was sweating profusely, struggling to keep up with them. And it wasn't like they were protecting him either… He had a few injuries on his body, but nothing serious. As long as his body remained intact, he'd be fine. He took a deep breath.
"Eh?!" His eyes widened as he looked down. A small green snake slithered on the ground. The snake was a light and dark green color in certain areas, making its way toward him...
