Watching Adina's pale expression, Kent knew sothing was amiss.
"What is wrong, Adina?" he asked, holding her trembling hands.
"One of my sisters is in danger."
Kent raised an eyebrow and was about to enter the tower to check, since, in his mind, her sisters were Elina and the others. However, Adina stopped him and pointed into the distance.
"I can sense her life fading away."
This ti, Kent beca genuinely confused. "Do you have other sisters I don't know of?"
Adina managed to smile, though her pale expression showed she wasn't in a happy mood. "I am the Sin of Lust, Kent. That ans all the other Seven Sins are my sisters. Right now, I can sense Sloth is in danger."
"Oh, you should have said that from the beginning." Kent smirked, grabbed her by the hand, and sped in the direction Adina pointed.
As soone who knew how dangerous the seven sins are, he knew that if sloth is pushed to a corner, she could send everyone to eternal sleep.
So saving her would be of outmost importants now.
Princess Euren was locked in battle against the three demon generals, her body battered and bruised, yet she still held her ground, one arrow after another speeding toward her opponents.
Those who managed to get close to her were t by the sharp edge of her short sword. The more they clashed, the more she felt her energy draining.
If it were rely a battle between herself and the three Demigod demon generals, she would have managed to kill all three of them. However, she had to keep the portal open as more of her nightmare creatures flooded the battlefield.
Of course, they had underestimated the sin of sloth, just as she, too, had underestimated the Supre who wanted her life. Even so, as more of her nightmare creatures were being killed, the impact on her soul and energy started to show.
Seeing this, the Lone General laughed. "Give up and surrender, or else you will die and the rest of your people will be slaughtered or enslaved."
"Over my dead body." Princess Euren unleashed an arrow, letting it fly toward one of the Demigods. Just when the arrow ca within striking range, Princess Euren swapped places with the arrow, and her short sword stabbed forward, embedding itself in his chest.
"AaaagggHHH"
The demon general let out a painful scream and pushed back, causing the space around them to crack. From within the void, a thin spear stabbed forward.
Princess Euren sensed danger, so she pulled back her sword and swapped places with the arrow again. However, the Lone General was there to greet her.
His hand shot forward, and before Princess Euren could twist her body to defend herself, a black, inky hand burst out from the ground and grabbed her leg, pulling her down and slamming her into the ground.
Just when she landed, dozens of hands burst out and tried to pull her into the ground.
However, a white-haired young man appeared, and his sword sliced through the hands, freeing the princess.
But before the two of them could move, a large net made from one of the most durable ropes fell on them, trapping them. They tried to tear through the net, but it beca clear they couldn't.
It was a Supre Item given to them by the Supre who sent them. The mont soone was trapped inside, freeing themselves beca next to impossible.
"Hahahahahaha! Looks like our job has been made simple for us," the Lone General laughed.
Princess Euren tried to free herself from the net, but she soon found herself becoming weak. Her brother, Prince Letharion, one of the finest swordsn, also began to feel his energy draining.
"It is of no use. The mont you get trapped in the Energy Suppressing Net, there is no way you can free yourself unless we free you," one of the demon generals laughed and turned toward Queen Llythia, who was flying toward them with a furious expression.
"Looks like Mama is here to save you, Princess."
"Bastard, leave my mother alone!" Princess Euren shouted, but she felt more of her energy drain away. This made her grit her teeth and turn to her brother.
"I am sorry, Big Brother. I should have left this place long ago."
"Don't be stupid, Euren. This is your ho. Where else would you have gone? Or do you think just because you are a Sin, we would abandon you?"
Prince Letharion pointed around them. "Just look around. Do these people look like people who would abandon their princess? They all want to protect you, so stop saying nonsense and use that big brain of yours to think of how we can break free."
Princess Euren allowed herself to smile a little. She didn't spend much ti awake; however, whenever she did, she made sure to spend ti with her family, especially her brothers.
They loved her despite knowing she was lazy and liked to sleep a lot. Now, even after learning she was the sin of Sloth, they still chose to stand by her and fight for her freedom.
"Technically, if I pour the rest of my energy into your sword, you will temporarily beco a Sword God. Would that be enough to cut through this net?"
Prince Letharion didn't answer imdiately. He first ran several scenarios through his head before responding. "I am not sure it would work, Euren. The net is a Supre Treasure; cutting through it would require a lot."
"I figured as much." Princess Euren thought for a mont, and another idea ca to mind.
"I could activate my bloodline, and with our energy, I will go to sleep. However, it would allow to tap into the Realm of Dreams and send us both to the Desert of Dreams.
"But it would be akin to abandoning our people since we wouldn't be able to return until one of us beca a god. It is a terrible plan, but at least we would live.
"However, I don't plan on doing it, so how about I send you away instead? I will figure sothing out," she said faintly. "I can seal this entire planet within the Realm of Dreams, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. That would save our people, but they would beco Dream Elves for the rest of their lives."
"Yeah, all your plans are terrible." Prince Letharion laughed, tapped into his core, and winked at Princess Euren. "But if I ignite my core, this net will be blasted into bits, and you will be free."
"No, Big Brother," Princess Euren panicked, and so did the three demon generals. Clearly, a Demigod detonating his core was bad news.
"Bastard," The Lone General exploded with anger and lunged forward, or at least tried to. Just before he could move, Kent and Adina appeared before them, and Kent grabbed his head with his clawed hand.
His knee moved, and like bones breaking, he landed a powerful kick on the Lone General's face, cracking his skull.
"AAAAGGHHHHH!"
His painful scream brought the battle to a halt, and everyone turned in the direction the scream ca from. When they saw the Lone General being held by the head, many paled.
Kent ignored everyone and landed another kick, knocking the bastard out. His skull cracked, and brain matter splattered out, a clear sign that he would never wake up again.
Kent let go of him and allowed his body to drop to the ground.
Turning around, his voice spread across the battlefield. "You all have five seconds to leave this planet, or don't say I didn't warn you."
The second demon general pointed furiously at Kent. "Bastard, who the hell do you think you are? You dare get in the way of a Supre mission."
Kent smiled and flicked his hair. "Oh, I am nobody special, but you can call Kent Madson."
Everyone beca pale.
