The voice stopped abruptly.
It almost stopped abruptly.
The oppressive, grudgeful aura even quietened down.
Time felt like it had stopped.
All that was left was the roar of the devil and the moans of the cardinal sins.
Kieran grabbed the captive's head and lifted him up from the ground, looking at the captive at eye level.
He didn't say anything but his calm gaze said it all.
The aura vanished without a second thought, much faster than when it appeared.
As the aura vanished, the captive that Kieran picked up also melted into a puddle of liquid.
Looking at the puddle of liquid on the ground, Kieran's left hand shone brightly.
Tsss!
The puddle of liquid swiftly vanished.
Kieran then turned around and continued to pay attention to Bloody Mary.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But …
How was this possible?
The target that he had been waiting for had appeared, how could he sit back and do nothing?
…
A secret place in the big city.
Lines of runes were branded on the ground.
The rune pillars were so thick that it would take two men to wrap their arms around them, they were glimmering in a dark, ominous glow.
A statue was placed in the middle of the room.
A man in a priest robe was praying there.
But all of a sudden, the statue started to shake violently.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
The man who knelt in front of the statue asked in fear.
"Leave!
Leave now!
"Take me to the shelter!"
A hurried voice came from inside the statue.
The man who knelt in front of the statue ran over, grabbed the statue and ran outside.
However, just as the man went through the rune pillars and reached the outside, a breeze blew.
Fuuuu!
The wind was blowing the priest's hair.
The wind was blowing the edge of the priest's robe.
The priest's head fell to the ground.
Fresh blood dyed the priest's robe red.
The statue in the priest's arms flew up into the air, but it didn't fall to the ground, instead, it was caught by a hand.
The moment the hand touched the statue, a thick black smoke came out from the statue and black lightning bolts were shuttling back and forth in the black smoke.
Chi!
The palm that came into contact with the statue quickly withered, unable to hold onto the statue at all. The statue fell from the sky.
Buzz!
The statue that had escaped from the palm suddenly lit up with black lightning. Like a black hole, the statue drilled into it and quickly disappeared.
The owner of the palm let out a sneer.
Then, dragging the withered, resin-like palm, he disappeared.
Croak!
About ten seconds after the owner of the hand left, the growling of hunger was heard, followed by a series of slobbering sounds.
"Hungry, hungry."
Gluttony said in a low voice.
"Control, you have to learn to control yourself."
"This will be of great help to your growth."
Sloth explained, but at the next moment, he brought Gluttony back to the hidden spot where the statue was placed.
Without waiting for Sloth to say anything, Gluttony pounced on it.
The runes on the ground were licked clean by Gluttony.
He opened his mouth and bit down on the rune pillar on the ground, snapping it into two. Then, without wasting a single bit, he stuffed it all into his mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls, as if he was eating a delicious crispy bone.
Sloth, who was standing beside, was deep in thought with his head down.
When the last bit of food was licked clean by Gluttony, Sloth and Gluttony vanished on the spot.
…
"An unexpected discovery!"
Kieran squinted his eyes when he heard what Sloth told him. He knew there was someone behind Aligino, but he didn't expect there to be more than one.
Kieran turned around and looked at Gluttony and Sloth.
"Did you remember the taste?"
Gluttony nodded. The unexpected dessert made him very happy.
"Did you remember everything he did?"
Kieran asked Sloth.
"Of course."
Sloth smiled.
"Very well.
"Then we shall wait and see."
Let's see what these bastards are trying to do. "
Kieran then looked at Bloody Mary.
The battle between Bloody Mary and [Voodoo Pillar] had entered its final stage.
Bloody Mary was covered in wounds.
The pitch black [Voodoo Pillar] was also heavily damaged.
However, the difference was that Bloody Mary's aura was getting stronger while [Voodoo Pillar] was on the verge of collapsing, like a candle about to go out.
Especially the drawings of the ghost faces, all of them were gone.
Bang!
Bloody Mary's palm was pressed hard on [Voodoo Pillar], its sharp palm slowly sinking into the center of the pillar.
[Voodoo Pillar] seemed to know it had reached a critical moment of life and death, its battered surface started to distort and then … it exploded.
KABOOM!
The sturdy surface exploded, forming an airflow in the room. Debris flew everywhere and a black light wanted to escape into the void.
As soon as it came into contact with the void, the black stream of light trembled.
"I've been waiting for you!"
Bloody Mary, which had turned into nothingness during the explosion, revealed itself again.
It widened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and sucked.
The black light was sucked into Bloody Mary's stomach.
After that, Bloody Mary turned to Kieran.
"Boss, I need some rest."
Bloody Mary said.
"How long?"
Kieran asked.
"Around a week."
Bloody Mary answered.
It tried its best to make its voice sound normal and empty its mind, thinking it would be foolproof.
After all, it had just gone through a 'life and death battle'.
"It's too long.
You can only rest for so long. "
Kieran said and put up a finger.
'So it was exposed?'
Bloody Mary sighed and changed its pitiful look back to its original state.
However, one day was one day.
It was better than nothing.
"Fine, one day is enough."
Bloody Mary accepted its fate.
"Who told you it's one day?"
Kieran raised a brow.
"T-Then how long is it?"
Bloody Mary was nervous.
"One minute.
And … 20 seconds have passed, you still have 40, no, 39 seconds left. "
Kieran answered seriously.
One minute?
One minute!
Bloody Mary widened its eyes, wanting to say something but when it caught Kieran's gaze, it gave up and laid down on the floor.
One minute it was.
At least this one minute was its own.
It could still lie down.
Even without a bed and pillow, it was good enough, wasn't it?
