Sebastian was maintaining all four dinsions with great concentration. As a result, although he could still converse like normal, he couldnt move from his current spot.
The enemies who had snuck into the gathering party clearly saw four of the Five Dragon Warlords being swallowed into the gates. The obvious action they took imdiately was attacking Sebastian, who was floating in the sky in the middle of the party. It was apparent to them that this butler was the spellcaster behind their leaders' disappearance.
Sebastians body was pierced by several arrows and bombarded by magic, turning him into a ragged hedgehog. His body beca bloody but a smile was still hanging on his face.
The undead race had no vital spots. For them to kill Sebastian, they would have to keep attacking until his health points were depleted. As a Lord Rank monster, Sebastians health pool was considerably high. It would take at least half an hour to kill him.
Nevertheless, what the opposing players aid for was breaking Sebastians focus. For most continuous spells, the caster had to constantly expend magic power in order to maintain them. If the spellcaster was injured during the process, there was a high chance that the spell would get canceled.
Unfortunately for the players, Sebastian had a secret side of him that only his close friends like Franz and Asura were aware of. Not only he was a sadist who liked torturing people and watching them writhe in pain, he was also a masochist who liked it when he himself felt pain inflicted by others.
Well, it wasnt that all of the attacks were ineffective. Sebastians concentration almost broke due to the amusent he felt from the pain.
There were many opponents in the gathering party. Naturally, only Varee, Sangdao, and Nednapha couldnt manage to keep them in check since they also had to protect the people who got poisoned. As for Burapha, he chose to act defensively in order to block the attacks aid at Sebastian, though he could only block a third of all the attacks.
The other ones who had it rough were White Swan, Ratri, and Hermit. They did their best to pour the Cleanse Antidote into the mouths of those who didnt drink enough.
Lookhin was floating in the sky, aiming its attacks at one group at a ti. It was feeling upset. If it wasnt for the fact that it had to control its strength in order to not damage the paralysed players, it would have already exerted its full power to sweep away all of the pests below.
Sila jumped out of the first gate, landing on the ground. He looked around and frowned when he found that the battles were still ongoing everywhere.
He fired several suntetsu at the enemies nearby. So took a mont to glance in the direction of the attack, and were filled with confusion.
The dinsional gate behind Sila started to fade. He shouted, Lost Ghost has died! There are only four warlords remaining!!
Simultaneously, everyone took a look at the vanishing gate. Seeing that Sila was the only one exiting the gate with no sign of Lost Ghost, who had disappeared together with him, everyone felt shocked, though there were different kinds of shock.
Both Silas friends and foes were shocked to see Sila only took a short amount of ti to defeat Lost Ghost in a one-on-one fight. So enemies opened their system windows to check Lost Ghosts status, and when they confird that Silas claim was real, their faces turned pale. For Silas friends, they were more surprised than shocked. Sure, they knew that Sila was strong, but they didnt think he would be able to defeat Lost Ghost in just a few minutes. What he did was simply not normal. Moreover, there were no signs of fatigue nor injuries on Sila.
Sebastian smirked as he could guess that Lost Ghost had died while his cards ability was still active.
Did you get the card, sir?
Sila took it out to show it to everyone. The card shone brightly, further backing his claim.
He was able to kill Lost Ghost while the card ability was still in effect? Thats a card from the sa series as Lone Wolfs, isnt it? Wait... Sila has a card too. He might have been able to win thanks to that. Thinking about it, he has never shown his cards ability to anyone. Is he planning sothing?
Ratri wondered about many things in her head. She firmly believed that there shouldnt be soone who was superior to her lover.
Please keep it, sir. Although you cant equip it, its better than losing it to others, inford Sebastian.
I cant equip it? asked Sila.
Yes, sir. You cant have more than one card from the Seven Deadly Sins series equipped at a ti. Mister Sila already has the Greed Card on you, so you cant equip another. However, thinking about it again, I think you shouldnt keep it on yourself. Otherwise, if you die when using the Greed skill, you will lose both cards.
Oh, I see.
Actually, Sila was curious since the Gluttony Card wasnt forcibly equipped. He initially thought that the experience points he would gain in the future would be reduced to a re 1%.
The system adhered to the concept of in the possession. Although he could only use one card, if the remaining six were in his possession and he died while his equipped card was active, he would lose all seven of them. This was precisely why Montra gave one card to each of the Warlords.
As Sila had returned, Lookhin felt more enthusiastic. It hurriedly cut off two players heads using a fla blade and flew to cling onto Sila.
Umm, since I cant use it anyway, should I give it to Lookhin?
Sila extended the hand holding the card to Lookhin, who was looking at it with sparkling eyes.
Will there be a problem if I let Lookhin eat it? Sila asked Sebastian.
Sebastian slightly furrowed his brows. I dont know for certain, sir. Its better than keeping it in your possession, thats for sure. However, the cards of the Seven Deadly Sins are quite special, so I dont know what will happen if Lookhin eats it.
Lookhin offensively pressed its claws into Silas tal arm, though Sila didnt feel it.
Chirp, chirp.
Lookhin tilted its head adorably. Sila wasnt sure if Bluebird was the one who imitated Lookhin, or if it was the other way around. However, one thing for sure was that it was far cuter when Lookhin was the one doing it.
Fine, fine. Just dont bla if your stomach gets upset. Sila handed the card to Lookhin and said, Star Swallow.
While everyone was watching, the black card sprang out of Silas hand and the air in front of him cracked.
Sila stepped back with caution. Both the appearance and the nauseous sensation flowing from the crack reminded him of when he used the Greed skill, and how Mammon tried to break free.
An extrely large group of flies flew out from the crack, covering the entire sky above the gathering party like a black, living cloud. Lookhin flew following the flies in a daze, its eyes glowing with a green light. The sa light enveloped all of the flies. Lookhin then opened its beak and the flies were sucked in at a terrifying speed.
I... wont... I, Beelzebub... the King of... Gluttony one who devours, not the one to get devoured!!
A hoarse voice muttering its lack of consent ca from the group of flies. The number of flies being swallowed by Lookhin was simply beyond its size. Sila couldnt help but wonder where they all went.
Lookhins body glowed green before it spat out a black mist, which spread out and covered its body. The mist kept condensing until it resembled a black bowling ball, and continued to hover above the party.
The system sound rang out in Silas head.
Your pet, Lookhin, has achieved a certain condition. It is undergoing the process of evolution into Lord Rank.
You have gotten Lord-Rank Monster Egg 1 EA.
Sila was shocked at the unexpected developnt. He told Sebastian, It seems Lookhin needs so ti to evolve to Lord Rank.
Thats natural, sir. I heard that evolving to Lord Rank and Emperor Rank are often complicated processes.
Why wasnt there such a thing in Rexs case? Sila argued in his mind.
Actually, in the case of Rex, Rex had attained Level 1000 Marquis Rank for a long ti, so his power was very stable. The only thing he needed was sothing that stimulated his growth.
However, in Lookhins case, its rank started at Squire and unorthodoxly made a big leap to Marquis within a short period of ti. Moreover, its skill pool was too diverse, and severely lacked balance. Therefore, upon reaching Lord Rank, it had to sleep in order to bring balance to all of its powers.
Burapha jumped at Sila. Alas, Big Brother Sila. You shouldve done that after Lookhin finished helping us fight the approaching army first.
Ah, I did it the wrong way. I didnt know this would happen. Well, I will handle them myself.
Sebastian interrupted, Please dont worry, sir. As for that army, I have already prepared a counterasure. Mister Sila should help the others instead.
What counterasure?
Without their leaders, it seed the enemies didnt dare to attempt attacking Sila. They took a roundabout way and aid their attacks at Burapha or Sebastian, leaving Sila to take his ti firing another batch of suntetsu at so of them while conversing with Sebastian.
Over there, sir. Thats my trump card.
Sebastian turned his head to Lomyok, who Sila easily recognized. Presently, Lomyoks handso face was marred by weird characters written all over. In addition, there was black smoke coming out of his body. His eyes were completely shut while he was muttering sothing inconceivable.
Him? Sila asked, feeling concerned. He had seen Lomyoks strength before, and it was simply lacking.
Im with him, so its going to be alright, sir. You can be at ease and help others instead, Mister Sila.
If Sebastian was backing Lomyok, there really shouldnt be anything to worry about. He put the egg into his system window and took a look around.
Burapha was exceptional at defending, partially due to his lance art. He could block attacks by generating waves of energy with his lance. The only area in which he lacked was experience. If he fought with the art more, his application of it would only beco more masterful.
With Twelve Celestial-Traveling-Steps, Sangdao could move freely in the limited battlefield as if she was just dancing around. Her Chinese sword was brilliantly stabbing one opponent after another. Sila could tell that the qi technique she displayed was Ray Assemble. Her blade stabbed only at the opponents vital spots without missing an inch, and her swordsmanship was extrely fast, leaving behind only shadows of the blade, fascinating to the eyes like shining stars.
By far, she was formidable, and the opponents were fully aware of how much of a threat she posed. Her only weakness seed to be the fact that her swordsmanship only worked up close, which her opponents noticed and took advantage of by keeping their distance and bombarding her with long-range attacks. As a result, Sangdao wasted most of her ti dodging and deflecting attacks.
Nevertheless, since she still had her hidden weapon art, Sila didnt think he had to worry about her too much.
Nednapha was standing on the stage, sniping opponents down below. Her bow seed to be a product from Lost Grea City. The bow, attached on her arm, could generate laser arrows. The arrows she fired were like flashes of light. Moreover, they could go straight, zig-zag, and even split into five smaller ones, causing the opponents to have a difficult ti coping.
The most worriso player turned out to be Varee. She excelled at fighting against a group so she had to take a risk by charging into the middle of the enemy group. Her swordsmanship was too quick for the naked eye to follow. If Silas eyes werent playing a trick on him, it seed like Varees Shadow Moon could even cleave magic spells.
However, the problem was that Varee was a nimble attacker who could attack her enemies very quickly, but she lacked damage. With her opponents being Marquis Rank, aning they possessed high health points and were able to strengthen the energy reinforcent enveloping their bodies even more. She had a difficult ti killing them. Instead, she was the one taking damage and having her health points chipped away.
Her attacks are quick, but not lethal. If the opponents properly protect their vital points, she will have a hard ti against them. I guess her psychic power is the type which can boost her speed but not her attack power.
Sila decided to give Varee a hand. He jumped into the fray and circulated Yin Yang Energy. The power of Stellar Wheel was spinning around both his arms like arm guards.
Co closer, and duck!! Sila gave an order to Varee.
Veree slashed at the incoming lightning magic arrow and did as she was told. Then, both Silas arms drew curves, making a detour around Varee and spread out.
Boom!
Amidst the confusion, an explosion occurred, generating fierce winds to blow away everything near Sila and Varee. All the opponents who had surrounded them got blasted away with the impact, receiving severe injuries if not killed altogether.
Miss Julia!
Out of nowhere, Sila shouted, and Julia ran out of the kitchen.
How can I serve you, Master?
Umm... Where have you been?
Ever since a mont ago, Sila had been looking for Julia. He even expanded his sense using Yin Yang Energy to do so. However, Julia was an item, aning Sila couldnt sense her easily.
After collecting money, there were no further instructions, so I was in the kitchen, Master, tasting the dishes. I planned to prepare one or two more dishes before cleaning the kitchen.
E-Eh? Why didnt you co out and help us fight, then?
Thats because Master wasnt in danger, and I wasnt ordered to do so. Master once said that Im allowed to do anything I want.
Sila scratched his head. If there was soone who had a worse grasp over common sense than he did, that person would be Julia. To be fair, she was a maid AI. To her, what would be more important than cleaning, making als, and following her masters instructions?
Anyway, for the ti being, please help Varee handle the enemies.
Yes, Master. As soon as she finished talking, Julia summoned Trickstar in her hand.
People began to doubt whether guns were available in Monster Soul. Soone even thought it was just a model. Monster Souls technology focused more on the fantasy aspect rather than the military one. As such, there were laser weapons available in the ga. However, they had never seen or heard of guns before.
Sila took a glance at the three remaining dinsional gates, contemplating which one he should enter.
Sebastian said, All of them should be fine, sir. Instead, Im more worried about Franz and Asura. Mister Sila should go help them.
Sila frowned. At most, Shuran must be Marquis Rank. How could he handle two Lord Rank monsters?
Sebastian could tell what was going through Silas mind by reading his expression and began to explain.
Its due to the Wrath Card, sir. The Wrath skill constantly deals damage to all beings within the range of its effect. The duration of the skill is uncertain. In the beginning, the damage it deals is negligible, but as more ti passes, the damage increases. I can sense the cards location jumping all over the place. It seems we cant afford to look down on our opponent; he is quite good at keeping his distance while running away, making sure that Franz and Asura are always within range of Wraths ability.
Sila nodded as he understood and circulated Yin Yang Energy throughout his body before leaping to the west. He had to raise his speed to make up for lost ti, since Franz and Asura had left ten minutes ago. He would think about what he should do to help them later while he was on the move.
According to Profound Qi Circulation Arts knowledge regarding the Five Elents, the tal elent is most related to speed.
Sila accumulated Yin Yang Energy into his lungs, the organ of the tal elent, and used the explosive speed to instantly disappear from everyones eyes.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of two gunshots echoed, turning everyones attention back to the battlefield. They easily noticed two players squirming on the ground while screaming in pain. Their heads were burning with scorching fire.
Julia had just shot two bullets made of two bottles of Fla Liquid, one of the products sold in Sebastians shop.
For the record, last night, Sebastian had prepared almost twenty thousand bottles of them, reiterating to Julia that they were for ergency use when the plan went wrong, which she thought was now. Julia couldnt help but admire him. Mister Head Butler was indeed well prepared.
On the other hand, Sebastian thought, Ah? She can use them as bullets? And here I planned to use them to burn all the evidence that might point to .
Suddenly, it struck Julia that this was her first ti using Trickstar in a large-scaled battle. She rembered how the Android King had asked her to help advertise his products so people visit Lost Grea City instead of Zerefs weapon shop. He also suggested that the best way to promote a product was to use the word-of-mouth strategy.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang, and the bullet entered an unfortunate players mouth. He didnt die yet but it seed as if a volcano erupted from his mouth. If it wasnt for the fact that he fell down and was rolling in pain, one would think that he could use so kind of fire-breathing skill.
While the rest of the enemies began to fear Julia, suddenly, she brought out a gaphone and started to speak.
The most advanced weapons in Monster Soul can be purchased only in Lost Grea City, everyone. Please pay a visit if you have ti.
Everybody in the gathering party, both friends and foes alike, were stunned. They all thought the sa thing: This isnt the ti to promote products!!
Julia fired another bullet, again aiming for soones mouth. Sadly, her opponent hid behind their shield just in ti, although the shield beca scorching hot, forcing him to throw it away later.
Varee took the chance to co forward and behead him in one move.
Word of mouth is quite hard, I see.
Julia thought to herself and continued firing bullets. Sebastian giggled at such an interesting developnt even though his body was covered in blood.
