82 – Greed, Grid (complete)

A hideous hand moving hurriedly,

The black scum that arises as a result.

As I was looking at the black object that thickly surrounded the grid without any gaps, a thought occurred to me.

‘You don’t want to die either.’

Seeing as he mobilized all his magical energy to defend against my blow.

‘That’s okay.’

It was an instant. Countless black energy poured out from the numerous cracks that appeared on all sides of the grid, and pure white solid lines began to be engraved on the thick black surface.

“···!”

Grid’s eyes filled with astonishment can be seen between the black water that is splitting soundlessly.

-Gurgling!

A terrible sound is heard as the thick black slurry completely splits apart.

“Ok…”

What you see between them is a grid with solid white lines drawn on the body.

“Kwaaaaak!”

Is it because I was surprised?

Or is it because it really hurts?

Grid screamed as if his eardrums were torn, exploding all the magical energy in his body.

-Quaaaaang!

Then, the pure white solid line that was drawn is swept away by the shock wave.

A strong wind spreads through the vacant lot, and dust rises from the ground.

“Heh, heh… hee, hee hee!”

Do you think you completely blocked my attack?

His body was in tatters due to cuts here and there, and Greed smiled at me even as he was breathing hard.

As if to say that it is now his turn.

As if he was certain that I would be torn apart by his own hands.

When I saw that, I laughed and muttered.

“Hey, it’s not over yet.”

When I explained it kindly, Grid, who was running towards me with a venomous expression on his face, turned his head back.

“···!”

After discovering the only crack that did not disappear and still remained, Grid was astonished and quickly tried to wave his hand like before.

But.

-Ssassy!

The first transparent sword strike with the right hand made a quiet sound and flew towards Grid.

“Uh…”

Grid looked at the faint solid line engraved on his neck and looked vain.

-Chaaaaa!

Black sediment begins to spurt out along the solid line.

Grid’s face falls to the ruined floor with an expression that makes it seem like he can’t understand this situation.

“Quaaaaah! Ah, it hurts!!!”

Despite his neck and torso being separated, Grid cried out, his tears streaming down his face.

“Does it hurt?”

I squatted down in front of her face and asked with a grin.

Do I even feel afraid?

Grid started begging me with a pitiful expression filled with tears.

“Say, save me. I, too, was a vessel like you. I didn’t become one of the Seven Deadly Sins because I wanted to! Huh, huh! Please…”

“I know.”

“What?”

“I know. Yes, complicated situation. “She was the eldest daughter of an extinct family.”

“Then…”

As I said that, Grid’s face, which was once filled with despair, began to appear filled with hope.

‘It was pitiful.’

What kind of strange story has this person lived?

What a painful time she had.

I know everything.

There were times when I felt pity for that reason.

“But you should know that.”

“What, what…”

“Everyone you killed did the same.”

After saying that, I stabbed Grid’s forehead with a sword filled with starlight.

“Oh, no…”

With his forehead stuck in the sword, Grid blurted out his words and slowly closed his eyes.

Is it because the core made of demonic energy has broken?

Grid’s body and head turned into black dust and began to scatter into the air.

-Tuk.

And then a black bead fell on the floor.

“Huh…”

I was about to sit down and had to stop for a moment.

Because I was worried.

Should I look at the notification window floating in the air first?

Or pick up the marble that fell on the floor first.

After thinking about it for about a second, I took the beads and put them in my arms, then started checking the notification window that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

[‘Seven Deadly Sins – Greed’ has been defeated.]

[Level up! Lv has risen to 36!]

[Level up! Lv has risen to 37!]

[Level up! Lv has risen to 38!]

[Level up! Lv has risen to 39!]

[‘Sinful Thought – Greed’ has been acquired!]

“Huh.”

When I checked the notification window, I was so dumbfounded that I made that sound.

It was worth it. In my entire life, I have never experienced a level up like this other than through quest rewards.

“Was it something like that?”

More than anything, I was happy to know the identity of the orb obtained by defeating the grid.

I was wondering where to collect the thoughts, and it turned out that all I had to do was defeat the Seven Deadly Sins.

“Ha, haha!”

Is it because I found a clue that was unclear? Laughter suddenly burst out.

That wasn’t the only happy fact.

“Let me take a look.”

Since your level has risen by 4, your abilities will also have risen.

For reference, in the game, abilities rose steeply starting at level 35.

Even so, I had a greater increase in my abilities than the game character.

So, it was natural to wonder how much more his abilities would have increased.

I opened the status window like that.

—-

[Name: Camel Hyacinth]

[Age: 17 years old]

[Level: 39]

[Strength: 52]

[Stamina: 58]

[Agility: 56]

[Horsepower: 43]

[Characteristics: Vessel of sin, deceiver of balance (lv.9), Astronomical eye (lv.9), Swordsmanship (lv.17), Divine sword (lv.Max), starlight (lv.7)]

—-

‘Crazy!’

I couldn’t help but feel happy inside.

This is because the overall stats, which had only increased by 1 by leveling up until now, have increased by 12.

‘Every time the level goes up, all stats go up by 3?’

Considering that the overall stats of the characters I was playing increased by 1 every time they leveled up after level 35, the increase was ridiculous.

At this point, it’s impossible to predict.

I wonder how much stronger I, who is already playing munchkin, will become.

“Oh, fuck.”

As I was looking at the status window with pride, I felt my excitement subside all at once and I had to curse.

—-

*If all the dishes are broken, you will die. (Durability: 75/100)

—–

Obviously it was 89 at first. Before I knew it, durability had decreased by 14.

“···.”

It felt more shitty than I thought.

The spark of my life is expressed in numbers, and I am watching that number decrease with my own eyes.

‘···What can I do?’

Try to deal with unpleasant feelings and change your thinking.

I like it or not, but the reason its durability has decreased is because I fooled the balance.

I couldn’t blame anyone. This was something I did entirely of my own will.

‘It’s okay. ‘I just need to catch the rest quickly.’

I try to compose myself and run the calculator in my head.

The remaining seven deadly sins are five.

And until I defeat one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the durability consumed is 14, and the remaining durability is 75.

‘If you catch 15 each…’

It fits perfectly. But I am not optimistic. According to Lily, the speed at which the dishes are breaking will gradually accelerate.

‘Even if I save on durability, I have to come up with a plan.’

Suddenly, I remembered the dragon blood water I took while dealing with Mort.

It was truly an unavoidable situation.

When I thought about losing one of my precious cards, I couldn’t help but feel bitter.

“Uh…”

As I was making that promise, a red color came into view. Drops of red blood were falling one by one on the floor.

After seeing this, I wiped my nose and looked at my palm. It’s covered in blood.

“···I wanted to collapse somewhere else.”

I don’t think I can do that.

The reaction seems to have begun, as the sight suddenly tilts.

‘I can’t help it.’

I fell to the floor and thought to myself.

No matter how much of a barrier was spread, it was a given that someone would come here since there was such a fuss.

If someone finds me and reports to the academics, the academics will naturally become suspicious of my identity and it will not be long before they realize what kind of person I am.

‘I have to endure it.’

So, it was an established fact that there would be restrictions and inconveniences in future actions.

It was going to happen anyway, but since I wanted to postpone it as long as possible, I couldn’t help but feel regretful.

‘Well, it’s not like there are only inconveniences.’

If my prediction was correct, many people from the academy would be my helpers.

Faculty members including Professor Dian, who was from the warrior party, as well as Principal Hilda and several classmates.

Maybe the days ahead will be easier.

I was trying so hard to wrap up my situation and was about to close my eyes.

-Rat, rattle.

As my vision blurred, a skeleton covered in a robe approached me.

“Oh, it was you.”

It started making strange noises around its mouth.

“His disciple.”

My body flinches reflexively at the words I hear at the end.

Nevertheless, a question arises.

Is this a dream? Or maybe it was an auditory hallucination?

Other than that, I couldn’t understand it.

Out of nowhere, a talking skeleton appears before my eyes.

“By the way, this bead…”

He searched through my arms and picked up a bead.

“It’s mine now.”

The situation is such that you are talking bullshit.

I don’t know if it’s a dream or an auditory hallucination, but is it over?

Consciousness was cut off, and my vision flickered.
