However, one point: there are three Archbishops of Gluttony. The one coming this time is Roy Alphard, representing [Feast] among the trio of Satiation, Gluttony, and Gourmet.

Another point is that the steps for using their Authority to devour are threefold.

First, call out the target's name, and it must be their true name, otherwise it fails or causes vomiting.

Second, touch a part of the target's body with a hand.

Third: lick the palm.

Additionally, they also possess a second Authority, which complements the first: [Eclipse]! Specifically divided into [Solar Eclipse] and [Lunar Eclipse].

[Solar Eclipse]: Based on the devoured [Name], reproduces the victim's entire existence onto oneself, taking on the victim's appearance.

[Lunar Eclipse]: Extracts skills and knowledge from the devoured [Memories], making them one's own. Because it's merely extraction, it doesn't have the effect of enhancing physical abilities, and the likelihood of perfectly using the victim's abilities is very low.

As for Gluttony, Takeru believed Ram alone could easily defeat him. After all, even Rem could barely contend with Gluttony in the original work. It was only after Regulus used [The Lion's Heart] on Rem, immobilizing her, that Gluttony managed to devour her [Memories] and [Name].

Hearing Takeru's description, Ram was stunned. She hadn't expected such overpowered abilities.

Although Ram's power was immense, it was very direct. Against rule-based Authorities like Regulus's, simple attacks would be ineffective.

As for Regulus's own strength, it was weak. Even if he managed to kill Reinhard once in the original work through his Authority and threats, he himself couldn't even make the Dragon Sword unsheathe.

After explaining the two's abilities to Ram, Takeru fell silent. He didn't have to wait long. Soon, two figures appeared in his perception.

One was a man with white hair and pale skin, dressed in simple shirt and trousers, wearing a blue teardrop-shaped accessory on his right ear, with no embellishments.

The other was a short-statured boy with knee-length, deep brown, dirty, messy long hair, a hunched posture, wearing tattered clothes, with grime on his exposed limbs.

"Ram, prepare for battle." Sensing their arrival, Takeru stood up and looked into the distance.

Soon, the two figures quickly appeared within Takeru and Ram's line of sight.

"Ara... ara ara, so it was you who killed the White Whale? It seems you were even waiting for us here!" Upon arrival, Regulus looked at Takeru and Ram and spoke in surprise.

"Yes, members of the Witch Cult." Hearing his words, Takeru replied calmly.

"Hmm, you seem to know us. Looks premeditated." Hearing Takeru reveal their identities, Regulus expressed surprise again.

"I heard our pet was taken down, so I came to see. Looks like there will be a big harvest this time. After all, defeating that rampaging 400-year-old White Whale should be quite a dish, right? It didn't disappoint. Good, good, wonderful, splendid, not bad, also good..."

Looking at the seemingly insane [Gluttony] Archbishop, Takeru remained calm. After all, generally speaking, crazy people tended to be quite strong.

"Ram, you handle the Gluttony Archbishop. As for the other one, leave him to me." Looking at the two, Takeru directly addressed Ram beside him.

"Yes!" Hearing Takeru, Ram's gaze turned serious, and her Oni horn manifested on her forehead.

"Don't worry, I'm completely different from him. I detest conflict the most. Hunger and desire? Such lowly personal desires have nothing to do with me." Watching Takeru and Ram slowly approach, the Archbishop of Greed, Regulus Corneas, slowly spoke.

"Is that so? Then let's watch their battle from here, shall we? Regulus Corneas." Hearing his words, Takeru directly called out his name.

"Ara, truly remarkable. You actually know my name?" Hearing Takeru, Regulus frowned at him but quickly returned to normal.

Hearing him, Takeru simply gave a faint smile and looked toward Roy beside him.

"Good, good. Such spirit! Then I'll help myself without holding back!" Roy, seeing Ram's demonized form, felt his fighting spirit peak. He then charged at Ram frantically, displaying incredible speed.

"Hmph, is that all the speed you have?" Seeing Roy's speed, Ram showed a disdainful smile.

Then, with gale winds enhancing her, she vanished from her spot the next instant, appearing above Roy.

"Have a taste of my gale!" As she spoke, Ram spread her arms. Then, the sky filled with dense wind blades.

The next moment, under Roy's astonished gaze, countless wind blades flew toward him.

Seeing this, Roy didn't dare underestimate. He drew his short sword, swinging both hands rapidly, breaking through several wind blades with the sword while constantly leaping to dodge.

Two minutes later, amidst continuous blocking and dodging, Ram's wind blade attacks hadn't touched Roy at all.

"This is just the beginning!" Seeing the wind blades ineffective, Ram in the air spoke indifferently.

As Ram's words fell, wind blades appeared in the air again, this time double the previous number.

Seeing this, Regulus frowned, 'If this continued, that guy Roy might lose. But then, what did it matter to me?'

Roy also realized something was wrong. If he kept dodging, even he would make mistakes over time.

Thinking this, after dodging another dozen or so wind blades, Roy closed the distance with Ram, then leapt high, charging toward her position.

Facing the barrage of over a dozen wind blades, while moving at high speed, he swiftly swung his short sword, dispersing the wind blades. However, due to the close range and being in mid-air, he was still struck by two wind blades, instantly receiving two deep wounds, blood slowly seeping out.

But Roy paid it no mind. He was now less than a meter from Ram. In another second, he could tear Ram's body apart with his short sword, then freely devour her memories.

"Hmph, too naive." Regarding Roy's rapid approach, Ram revealed a scornful smile.

"Storm Gale!" She spoke softly. Before Ram, a massive amount of wind rapidly gathered, forming a violent storm containing numerous wind blades. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Roy in mid-air hadn't expected Ram to have this move. In mid-air, his posture was hard to control. He was then enveloped by the storm, directly taking the brunt of the wind blades' slicing.

However, Roy didn't give up. Even struggling to adjust, he managed to block the attacks, avoiding vital spots.

"Hmph, the final move. Vanish completely! Tornado Hurricane." As her words fell, a tornado rapidly formed.

Below, Regulus narrowed his eyes and finally acted. An invisible attack flew swiftly toward Ram… his Authority. If it hit, it would stop time for Ram.

Seeing this, Takeru reacted promptly. A prepared spell was instantly cast on Ram. "Absolute Defense Magic!"

A barrier, faster than Regulus's [The Lion's Heart] Authority, enveloped Ram. Then, the Authority's attack was easily blocked by the barrier.

This was the Yin magic Takeru learned from Beatrice, interfering with the time and space around Ram.

During the spell's activation, Ram couldn't move but wouldn't be affected by anything outside the barrier.

Seeing his attack blocked, Regulus paused, then looked at Takeru in surprise.

As for Roy, he was completely swept into the forming tornado hurricane, thoroughly torn apart within the raging tornado's center...

"This isn't what we agreed on, Regulus." Sensing Roy's demise, Takeru turned to look at Regulus, speaking indifferently.

"Oh? Is that so? But I never agreed to your terms, did I?" Looking at Takeru, Regulus spoke nonchalantly despite Roy's death.

"Of course. I never thought you, the Archbishop of Greed, would agree to my suggestion. But you staying put quietly for so long was really helpful." Hearing his words, Takeru replied with a light laugh.

"Oh? Were you brewing some big move? Or do you think blocking one time-attack means you can defeat me?" Hearing Takeru, Regulus showed a disdainful expression.

"Ah!" However, as soon as Regulus finished speaking, he felt immense pain. He discovered his [Little King] had failed.

His heart, having stopped for over five seconds, caused unbearable pain. [The Lion's Heart] automatically deactivated, instinctively returning to Regulus's body.
