Chapter 560: Merman’s Meat
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
A faint smoke flowed out from the Jar of Sealing Fiends.
Kieran carefully backed up to the wall as he witnessed the scene.
Although Lee had been evasive about the jar before, according to the information Kieran gathered throughout the night, the jar was exactly what he had first speculated: a treasure chest.
The treasure chest was passed down from an unknown era and what it held inside was anyone's guess.
In simple words, the things inside might benefit fiends or humans.
Though, according to the books, most items that benefited humans would cause damage to fiends and vice versa.
There was also the exception that the item might benefit both sides but to determine what it was, it would depend on one's luck.
However, it was not exactly Kieran's assumption.
Even though the books didn't have a clear record, after that many decades and based on how special the jar was, there must be some conclusion concluded by some intelligent folks. Yet, the jar was in the hands of a certain faction and by that time and most people didn't have access to it.
A simple example was the latest owner of the jar, Ling.
Luck wasn't really applicable to her case judging from how she held tightly to the jar. She must have understood some things about the jar and was able to verify what was inside.
That was why she held it tightly in her arms even during the battle with Kieran.
Since that Ling was a fiend, Kieran had to be extremely careful.
Not only did he avoid the smoke but he also held his breath, staring at the jar with a heavy gaze.
The unsealed [Jar of Sealing Fiends] slowly dissipated in the air but the smoke from inside didn't spread out nor disperse.
The cloud of smoke turned into a single ball, looking like cotton candy or even a real cloud in the sky.
Then, a great aroma came from within the smoke, causing Kieran to gulp down his saliva uncontrollably.
Greed and Gluttony inside him were almost going out of control, following by the others.
Other than Pride, even Sloth was staring at the cloud of smoke before his eyes.
The Eye of Chimera's energy was beating vigorously in his heart.
"What is this?"
The unusual reactions of the cardinal sins made Kieran reach out his hands into the smoke.
He maximized his own will and sanity to restrict himself from swallowing what was inside the cloud.

...
"Merman's Meat?" Kieran was stunned.
Then, a sudden realization hit him. The only thing that could cause such a ruckus in Ling's heart who longed for life more than anyone, other than this piece of meat, there wasn't anything else.
Kieran then squinted his eyes at the [Merman's Meat].
Even though Greed and Gluttony were screaming in his heart, "Eat it! Eat it!
