"I can explain, I-"
Puk!
The moment the owner of the walnut tree opened his mouth, before he could finish, Bloody Mary decapitated him with a chop.
His head flew up high and fell to the ground. The owner's face was frozen with shock and confusion, as if he couldn't understand why Bloody Mary didn't even give him a chance to explain before killing him.
Bloody Mary curled its lips in disdain as it looked at the bloody head.
It didn't have the time to waste words with the owner.
Since they were enemies, it was fated that one of them would die.
Maybe Bloody Mary had a lot of dissatisfaction towards its contractor, but it acknowledged Kieran's point of view.
A good enemy was a dead enemy.
Bloody Mary shook the blood off its hand and a straight line of blood appeared on the ground. Then, it licked its lips and scanned its surroundings. With a gloomy voice and overflowing killer intents, it said, "Those who cross the line … Die!"
The forest went silent.
The peeping gazes that were lingering on the side quickly disappeared.
Bloody Mary knew the first part of its little trick worked. Those greedy bastards were frightened by how it killed its opponents consecutively.
However, all it would take was some time for those greedy bastards to come back to their senses.
Bloody Mary knew full well that those greedy bastards wouldn't back down willingly under the influence of greed. They would take another risk.
Therefore, Bloody Mary couldn't afford to give them time to breathe.
"I'll guard this place. Go find those bastards and …"
"Kill them!"
Bloody Mary said to Canberlanor, showing a cruel smile on its face.
Looking at the smile, one would think they were looking at a butcher or an executioner.
Not only did the greedy bastards in the forest think so, even Canberlanor, who was pointed out by Bloody Mary, shared the same thought.
Canberlanor opened his mouth, but when he saw the three bodies, nothing came out. He grabbed his black walnut tree staff and walked into the forest.
It was obvious that Canberlanor was frightened, he didn't dare to resist Bloody Mary.
However, Bloody Mary wouldn't explain itself in this kind of situation. After Canberlanor went into the forest, Bloody Mary slowly walked towards Kieran.
When it got close to Kieran, it disappeared just like that.
It was as if he had disappeared into thin air. It was more like he had merged with Kieran's shadow.
This scene made the surrounding greedy fellows even more bewildered.
Therefore, when the Canberlanor Old Book approached them, they chose to avoid him.
They had no idea what Bloody Mary was trying to do.
To lure them out?
Or ignore them?
Or was there some kind of conspiracy?
All kinds of thoughts appeared in the minds of these greedy people.
They became hesitant.
It was exactly what Bloody Mary wanted.
Turning into nothingness, Bloody Mary, who was hiding in Kieran's shadow, heaved a long sigh of relief. It knew it had succeeded.
Next?
It all depended on his contractor.
Bloody Mary was very confident about it.
It firmly believed that Kieran would succeed.
Even if Kieran didn't look too good at this time.
In fact, Kieran's situation was worse than it seemed.
Pain!
The pain that came from the soul far surpassed the pain of the flesh. The pain made Kieran's veins bulged on his forehead as he felt like his flesh and blood were being ground down bit by bit. He clenched his teeth so hard that it made crunching noises, as if he was going to crush them at any moment.
Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
However, other than the initial grunt, Kieran didn't make any other noise.
He had his own pride.
He would never let the so-called pain defeat him.
He wouldn't allow himself to make a sound of pain.
He wouldn't allow himself to faint either.
Feeling Kieran's condition, Pride, who was standing on top of the Devourer's head, couldn't help but curl his lips into a grin. Why was he willing to follow Kieran?
Other than the fact that he came from Kieran's heart, it was more of a similar feeling.
Maybe his pride was obvious at first glance.
Maybe Kieran had always been cold and calm.
But deep down, they were the same.
Huuu!
Black flame burned on Pride's body, it was twice as strong as before and it was poured into the head beneath his feet.
"Sss!
Slow down! Slow down!
I need to adjust my rhythm! "
Sloth, who was standing in the middle of the Devourer's body, gasped in cold air and cried out in shock repeatedly, but his face was still as lazy as ever.
It seemed like everything was under his control.
The Cardinal Sins Force, under Sloth's control and Gluttony's energy source, started to grow rapidly.
'Greed', 'Wrath', 'Jealousy', and 'Lust' all grew in such a way, and they all felt a sense of sluggishness after satisfaction.
They had never experienced such a feeling before.
But soon enough, they became dejected.
Because the Cardinal Sins Force was thinned out.
The Cardinal Sins Force acted as a medium, gushing into the heart without holding anything back, but the heart wasn't damaged at all.
Quite the opposite, under Sloth's control, the Cardinal Sins Force started to change the heart.
Dong, Dong, Dong!
The heart beat again and again, it didn't speed up but it was getting stronger and stronger.
From the initial normal beat to the beating of war drums, it only took two to three breaths' time.
And it was just the beginning.
Using the other cardinal sins as a medium and the heart as the starting point, the Cardinal Sins Force fused into Kieran's blood and as the heart beat, the Cardinal Sins Force started to flow into his body.
Sloth was meticulously controlling everything.
But even so, the pain was getting stronger.
If it was just his flesh being ground up before, now, Kieran felt like his organs and bones were being crushed as well.
It was as if his whole body had been thrown into a mill and was continuously being crushed.
Kieran's breaths unconsciously hastened.
The Dawn Force that had been flowing in his body started to speed up, the warmth slightly alleviating the pain in Kieran's body.
But right after that, an even greater pain assaulted him.
Sloth sped up the process.
Completing the 'metamorphosis' in the shortest time possible was Sloth's plan. It wasn't just because his stamina could not support such a meticulous concoction for a long time, it was also because Gluttony, who was stuffed to the brim, was still eating.
Even though he couldn't eat anymore.
Still, he didn't give up.
Sloth had never seen such a stubborn fella before, he might even be an idiot.
"You bastard, do you really want to eat until you're full?
Don't you know how to take a break? "
Sloth rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Break?
No! "
Gluttony rejected Sloth's suggestion.
However, certain words in Sloth's words attracted him.
"P-Full?
Full? "
Gluttony stuttered to himself.
Then, while he was stuffing himself, he suddenly realized the scene before his eyes changed.
The delicious meat was gone, replaced by a bridge.
An old lady was boiling soup on the bridge.
His nose sniffed the soup, and without a second thought, Gluttony walked over.
"Drink it.
"Forget everything."
Let the past be buried in the earth. "
The old lady showed a kind and kind smile, scooped a bowl of soup and passed it to Gluttony.
