Chapter 411: [ Gluttony ]

What!?

Innumerable blurry figures, no, they were all mirage!!

Allen’s body jerked forward abruptly, his footwork seemed elusive and strange to the four monsters, which started to feel dizzy as their eyeballs struggled to trace Allen's movement.

Each step taken by Allen carried a strange if not eerie quality. As once hailed as a martial arts prodigy in the previous world, Allen had seen many different types of foot movement or movement type martial arts and incorporated it all into one martial art, that is the [ Phantom ]. Calling it footwork was far-fetched; it was simply an incoherent and disorganized shuffle.

"Curse you!!!" The other unscathed high-level demon cried out in alarm.

He was a very powerful demon general and could adjust to any contingency. He had been startled by this, but he hadn’t panicked. He immediately leaped forward. His speed was quite fast. His powerful leaps could cover over twenty meters of space.

He anticipated that he’d be certain to avoid that youth’s pursuit and attacks. However, he unexpectedly felt the eerie cold wind behind him again. In fact, it had surpassed its previous level.

This is…!?

Then suddenly, a soft voice spoke to his ears out of nowhere, "Where are you going?"

The demon’s mind blanked out.

He felt that there was someone right beside him. It was as if this individual were talking to him while walking with him… as if they were right next to his ear. But, he couldn’t even see a shadow of anyone’s figure beside him.

“Get out of here you damn monster!!!” The demon finally showed a trace of panic and unease. He dived to the right. However, the cold air followed him like a shadow. Then, he went left… but the cold air was still there… same as before…

The Demon then rushed out, and his figure began to fade. He was at his fastest as he sallied forth to attack and defend. A voice snorted beside his ears and the Demon seemed to have a misconception as if the owner of the voice was just beside him. Then, suddenly, the owner of the voice sent out an explosive punch.

Boooom!!

“Damn you!!”

The Demon quickly stepped-back, attempting to evade. In fact, he slid away like a slippery fish and retreated to one side. Then, at this moment, a figure had appeared behind the Demon. Suddenly, two fists shot out towards Allen from the Demon’s retreating back.

Meanwhile, Bleeze employed his quickest speed and soared into the sky at the fast-possible speed as this happened. He then slashed his sword creating black arcs of light that seemed capable of cutting everything it passed through. Even a mountain would be beheaded if he met this slash head-on.

At the side, the winged woman’s long and glittering blade was unsheathed once again. It went drilling from beside the demon’s waist and proceeded straight towards Allen’s chest. In fact, this attack enveloped around five meters of the area around Allen’s torso.

The four demons had attacked without prior discussions, but their attacks were flawlessly coordinated. Their attacks had seemingly proceeded towards Allen.

The spectators located in the City Wall were also covered in cold sweat; especially the arrogant young demon, and the white-winged woman at this very moment. Their stares were so wide that it seemed as if their eyes would pop out.

That youth’s speed was certainly like a ghost!!

These attacks looked quite simple at first. But, Allen was well-aware that they could turn into a torrent of complicated strikes later on. He would be trapped by one of his opponents within a short period of time if he wanted to clash head-on.

And then, the remaining three would use their respective trump cards to get rid of him while one of them had him trapped. Thus, “Shinra Tensei—!!!” Boooom!!

He pushed them away—Literally, just to break their supposed to be momentum.

Attacking with everything they got, but before they could reach him, a massive pushing force strikes them and sending them flying away like cannonballs.

“Guha--!!?” One of the demons who was the nearest towards Allen spat out a mouthful of blood due to the damage he had received.

At the center of them all, Allen’s head turned around and his gaze locked on the demon who had vomited blood and a cruel smile appeared. Flash! He then disappeared into his position only to reappear beside the demon.

The demon had retreated to the side. But, he quickly spun around as this happened, and returned to the fold with great speed. Then, at this very moment, it noticed Allen’s intention due to its high-level awareness and this caused him to become pale instantly.

He bolted like a cat with its tail stepped on and immediately activated his highest speed and flew around like a scared cat.

Unfortunately, for him, the youth followed the demon wherever he goes and under their stunned gazes, Shining!! !! A blinding light reflected on something with a shiny surface causing their eyes to slit a bit. But before they could see what it really was, “Gyaaaaaaahhhh!!!” the demon cried out in pain.

When they finally restored their vision, they saw a large strange hilted sword pierced the demon’s chest.

The youth pulled out the sword and slightly rotated in the air, raised his right foot and swept in front of the demon. Suddenly, a tornado stirred, but it was no ordinary wind, but a tornado with an arc of electricity dancing in them!

The tornado swept across the land and immediately left behind burned marks and scratches in its wake. The monsters swallowed by the tornado of lightning shook violently and got burned, which showed how ferocious the lightning arcs were in the tornado!

A smile suffused across Allen's lips. Dark blue blood covered the large sword as Allen swung it sideways, causing it to splatter the blood away.

“Damn it!!” As if desperate, the arrogant young demon gritted his teeth and shot himself towards Allen.

“Wait!” The winged woman tried to stop him but she was too late. Thus, she could only grit her teeth as well and plunged towards Allen’s direction.

Following the two people, the other demon also plunged towards Allen, using the striking technique called [ Demon’s Blade Dance ]. This was the most important and dangerous battle of his life. He wasn’t about to be stingy with his treasured skill to hide it anymore.

Seemingly simple and unflattering, this technique could strike fear into an opponent’s heart when used right. The demon pulled a sword for who knows when and delivered the impeccable deathly consecutive blows which formed a straight line that pointed towards Allen, even the time intervals between the quick strikes were precisely the same.

This was the demon’s coup de grace. The demon uses it this early because he wanted to finish this battle quickly and splendidly with a total victory –if not, he feared that the longer the time spent in fighting, the lower their chances of winning becomes!

Unfortunately for Allen, although he had an almost invincible logia body, this [ Demon’s Blade Dance ] was a combination of the Demonic and dark power, residing on each strike. This meant that once these blows had reached him, he will not escape unscathed.

Even soul type and ghost type beings are killed by this attack.

And Allen had surmised it from seeing the blade’s malicious and malevolent aura. And he had never second-guessed his instinct and intuition. Damn thing always saves him!

Allen didn’t dare be careless about it. He roared loudly as his body started to spin. First, he avoided the young arrogant demon’s sword strikes. Then, his black robe whirled in the air as he missed the thrusting blade-attack from the the winged woman by the smallest of margins.

After that, he turned around and leaned to the side in a simultaneous motion. Then, employing his [ Phantom ] to its highest capability, he left dozens of afterimages, evading the Demon’s prided sword technique—All the while, slashing his sword at the Demon to attack back.

He snorted at the young arrogant demon that was planning to sneak attack him as he focused himself on the opponent in front; he raised his left hand and launched a Blue Firebolt— a combination of Blue Flames and Lightning, striking towards the approaching bastard.

Allen was quite calm in the face of the combined attacks from the four Great Demons. He had negated their attacks in the blink of an eye. Moreover, he hadn’t taken these attacks ‘lying down’, and had managed to counter attack instead.

Seeing this, the demon’s eyes widened in shock, “...they missed?” He fell into a state of disarray as he once again swung his sword. The Demon’s aim was evidently true, but how come the blows had barely even grazed Allen’s body?

Allen didn't pay attention to the blade that had just passed his body. He stepped casually to the side and delivered a blow towards the Demon once again.

The Demon hastily pulled back his sword, wanting to block Allen’s sword. He was currently extremely upset and surprised that his coup de grace had been evaded and had been utterly defeated.

The demon glared at Allen but then saw the red blood eyes of Allen that seemed to have a single ink black comma in each of them, staring at him. A chill crawled on his spine.

Then, Allen’s strike fell silently; the Demon’s face was frozen as he heard two words from Allen’s mouth, "Too slow."

One moment the Demon’s body was still upright and the next moment… Bang!!!

His body was erect no more, and his sword shattered.

Everything happened too fast!

The Demon could only stare at his sword wide-eyed. Allen was about to finish him when he felt movements from his back.

Puchi!!! Two sharp swords pierced through him from his back.

It seems like he had given all his attention to the Demon in front of him a bit too much now. Allen disregarded their attacks due to his body but then he suddenly discovered, at the edge of the blades was a small wriggling darkness that seems to writhe like a living thing and seeming to possess a tangible body of its own, giving him excruciating pain, as if something was eating him inside.

What the heck is this…!!?

Allen was alarmed and immediately turned around, lightning sparks crackled around him. He raised his leg and swept towards the people on his back. The swords impaling him immediately draw back. It was then that moment, Allen saw where the dark strange thing was from. The arrogant young demon’s sword…

A black hazy mist covered the demon’s body.

“Who are you?” Allen’s eyes narrowed. “Why do you have the power of Beelzebub…? Gluttony?”

It was a bit weak but Allen can indeed feel the existence of Gluttony. The power that can devour everything and anything regardless. No matter what it is, they would be devoured by it.

The arrogant young demon snorted. “It seems like you know of my father…”

!!? Allen’s body trembled. What? Father…?!

“That is right! I am Bleeze, Demon Prince Beelzebub’s one, and only successor!! Hmph, now it’s too late to feel fear! I, the great Bleeze, will tear you apart and devour you whole! Be honored, you mere ant!!”

He was still arrogant. However, it seems like his arrogance wasn’t unfounded.

For Beelzebub to have a kid and worst is… he actually managed to inherit Gluttony… that is bad!

Now, Allen determined to kill him even more!

In this world, the powers that Allen can’t let exist freely were none other than the 7 deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Greed, and Sloth!

These seven deadly sins were cardinal sins or capital vices and taught that they could not be forgiven. However, in truth, these sins manifested in different kind of abilities that far outclassed many powers.

Even Satan in the Ancient war had one of it, giving him ultimate power that had almost conquered the entire Celestial realm. Besides, the True God had once said that when these powers become one, they would become unstoppable!

The greatest evil and the greatest power…

The One True Sin!

The Original Sin!

Thus, Allen can’t let anyone hold this kind of power. He had Envy and Asmodeus had Lust, it might be selfish but he has no problem with it for now. Since he had it and Asmodeus was his… he can control them…!

However, for other people especially a demon, Allen wouldn’t let them possess this kind of power. It’s just too dangerous!!

As the arrogant young demon; Beelzebub’s son, Bleeze showed a ‘Fear me heathen and bow to my greatness’ kind of expression, suddenly—

“Then, I guess I can’t let you live…”

The voice that sounded like chiming heavenly bells resounded in the air. However, this voice was low and deep. It was hard to tell what kinds of emotions were raging in the owner’s heart.

A familiar pressure burst out like a dam exploding. It was then accompanied by a cold and extremely powerful murderous aura bursting out from his body and spiraled towards the heavens.

Suddenly, Allen’s thoughts finally subsided. Nothing flowed from his eyes anymore.

His wild emotions vanished with abnormal speed. With a mind as calm and clear as the surface of a lake, Allen raised his head and stared at the demons in front of him.

On the other hand, Beelzebub’s son, Bleeze and the winged woman felt something changed. They noticed that the youth’s eyes suddenly turned even brighter, and his breathing was calm.

He looked very composed as well.

But the thing is, the more composed he looked, the greater the danger they felt. Their bodies couldn’t help but stopped in moving as they looked at the youth’s sudden change.

“Very good, and here I thought I had already erased Gluttony in this world. Fine, this time I won’t miss!”

Allen snorted. Then, he slowly raised his hand and took out his ‘face’ off.
