Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin-Chapter 143: 143: Rage

So far, Azekiel had shown a lot of prominent sins in his personality, and it was as if even he didn't know about them. And those sins were increasing as time passed, becoming even stronger. It was as if the Tower was affecting him like that... As if the Tower was corrupting him. But why?

Even the other King of Sins showed some small signs of Sins, but none of them showed any other sin to an extent that it could compete with their main sin.

Even the King of Pride got angry at times, but not to the same extent. Even the other Kings had some Pride, but not to the extent that it could overshadow their main sin. And those other sins of theirs hadn't increased throughout the years, but with Azekiel, it was different.

The Sins of his were increasing, and they were Major Sins as well. It was as if all seven Sins were trying to lure him to their side, to select him for something.

So far, the only sin that Azekiel hadn't shown any signs of was Sloth. Other than that, he had started manifesting all other Major Sins of Kings.

Raphael thought really deeply about it as he followed Azekiel. He had met Azekiel when he had just started, and he was sure that this wasn't his personality…

Azekiel dragged Leor with him, advancing straight to the Domain of Triads. He wanted to do things the easy way before without creating much commotion, but he has had enough of waiting.

Deep inside the forest, the Triad Queen stood up. The plant was still before her, but she could feel that the connecting plant had been destroyed. Now she finally understood why she had lost her control over Azekiel's mind.

"That idiot! She couldn't even keep one plant safe!" She exclaimed, feeling angry at her sister, who had only one responsibility... To protect the plant, and she failed even in that!

"I was so close!" The Triad Queen stomped the ground in frustration.

She was sure that Azekiel knew about her now. As for his reaction, she couldn't expect. She didn't know what to do now. Should she fight an unknown enemy alone in a place where there was no first, or should she bring more people to fight beside her?

Before she could even come to a conclusion, Azekiel came out of the part of the forest that had been burnt.

The Orcs were shocked to see him leave. However, they also accompanied him, feeling as if he was going to war.

Half the Orcs followed Azekiel along with the Orc Head.

"He's leaving the place where he has an advantage?" The Triad Queen weirdly looked ahead, not understanding Azekiel's actions.

Through her plant along the way, she could see that Azekiel was walking in her direction and that he wasn't alone.

The Triad Queen clenched her fists, seeing how her sister was being disrespected, but she was also pleased that Azekiel was inside the forest. This was the best place for her to fight back.

She was the strongest here. And even if Azekiel was a King, she wanted to teach him a lesson.

She stayed where she was, but she also made all the trees around her come to life. Thousands of trees came to life, but they didn't move. It was as if they were waiting for something.

As Azekiel came deep inside the forest, she finally saw the Triad Queen, who stood with her arms folded.

"Is that the Triad Queen?" All the Lords also noticed the lady at the same time as the Triads. However, only Azekiel knew for sure that she was truly the Triad Queen.

"Don't tell me you missed our lovemaking so much that you came here to continue our session?" The Triad Queen asked as if mocking Azekiel.

"Honestly, it was funny to see you that weak... Your eyes that were almost pleading for me to stop while also wanting me to continue." She licked her lips as if remembering a fun moment. "Too bad, our session was cut short. But if you want us to continue, I might listen to you on one condition."

"Release my sister and kill all the Orcs. And this time, we won't do it in dreams..."

"If you don't listen to me, let alone me being yours, you won't even be alive to be able to hold me anymore." The Triad Queen glanced around.

Thousands of trees started moving, surrounding the group from all sides. "Decision is yours, sweetheart. You want me to show you heaven, or you want me to show you hell..."

Azekiel tossed Leor toward the Triad Queen in response.

Seeing Azekiel listening to her, the Triad Queen was slightly surprised but felt inside; she felt as if this was inevitable. Even though she couldn't show him what she wanted to in the dreamland to control him entirely, whatever small amount of pleasure she gave him was enough to make him lust after her.

Moreover, the Orcs were just strangers to him. If he could get her in exchange for some orcs, then there was no way he was going to reject the offer.

"Men are so fickle," she licked her lips before placing her hand on her sister's shoulders.

She helped her sister up. "See, I told you, sometimes schemes are better than frontal attacks. Today it's proven that I'm smarter than you, Leor."

After helping her sister up, she further focused on Azekiel. "Good work, darling. Now kill all the Orcs, and swear your loyalty to me. I'll be yours forever!"

Azekiel looked at the Triad Queen from top to bottom before he turned around, glaring at the Orcs.

All the Orcs were stunned to see Azekiel listening to the Triad Queen. Had he lost his mind? How did he become the servant of the Triad Queen?

The Triad Queen burst into laughter at the sight of her command being followed again. She couldn't believe she was afraid of a man like this who had such a weak mind!

"Kill her." As Azekiel's back faced the Triad Queen, his voice echoed in the forest.

The Triad Queen's laughter stopped as soon as she heard the command. A sharp knife stabbed her next, right in the middle.

The Triad Queen's face turned pale as she noticed who had attacked her. Leor stood behind her. Her hands were covered with blood. As for her face, it was covered in blood. She wanted to speak, but no words came out of her lips.

The Triad Queen understood everything... This was a plot! This was a plot to kill her! She couldn't believe her sister had worked with the enemies!

"Trai..to...r..."

The Triad Queen struggled to speak when she noticed a mark on her sister's body. She had completely forgotten about that mark! The Mark of Servitude!

That's why her sister had tears in her eyes. She was probably commanded to not speak at all and do this.

Blood trickled down the throat of the Triad Queen as she turned to Azekiel. She couldn't even curse him as her vision started turning dark. All she saw was that Azekiel was standing only a few inches before her.

"You tried to play with my mind... I played with yours," he whispered in the Triad Queen's ears. "We are almost equal..."

The Triad Queen dropped to her knees as she kept bleeding. Her eyes finally closed as she lost her life.

Azekiel placed his hand on the Triad Queen.

"Soul Snatch!"

He used the Soul Snatch, not missing out on the Soul Energy of the Triad Queen.

Just as he expected, the Triad Queen had lots of Soul Energy... Even more than what the Kings had. She was the queen of the nature!

Azekiel's stats shot up by quite a lot, giving him even more strength which he was after. He wanted to be the strongest when he left the Trial on his next mission, and this Soul Energy helped him

Azekiel's Soul Bar was also filled already. The Soul Energy couldn't fill his Soul Bar more than it already was, which made all the soul energy go to excess Soul Energy.

He wondered if the excess Soul Energy was going to reach the level that he needed for getting an excess summon. If it couldn't even now, then he could only lose hope about ever getting excess summons again.

Surprisingly, something finally happened with the excess Soul Energy.

A notification appeared before him.

[Excess Soul Energy reaching a high level. Do you want to receive the Soul Energy or reject it?"

Multiple options appeared under the question.

'The notification this time is different from the Excess Summon notifications, but it's still asking me if I want to use it. Why won't I?'

Azekiel pressed yes under the notification, making the screen disappear.

As soon as the notification disappeared, a beautiful black card appeared before Azekiel. Unlike with Excess Summons, there was no choice this time which made Azekiel wonder if this card was actually a Summoning Card or something else?
