Volume 4, Chapter 25 – Power Of Gluttony

“Come on! Let me see what trump cards you Fallen Angels have!”

The Black Dragon King Xingousa wore a vicious expression, and the mighty aura belonging to a Throne-tier covered his entire body and pressed down over everything.

Facing this scene, Tianyin decisively handed control of her body over to Samael.

『I’ll leave it to you, Samael!』

「Don’t worry… with the power of three Original Sins, even if I can’t defeat the Black Dragon King, it’ll be hard for him to defeat me!」

Her purple eyes slowly turned blood red. In that instant, Tianyin entered the full state of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The battle began that very second.

Rumble—!

Throne-tier aura enveloped the heavens and earth of this stretch of the Abyss. After a deafening crash like thunder, whether Fallen Angels or Black Dragons, every gaze converged uncontrollably on the very center of the battlefield.

A small silver-haired girl held her stance with sword thrust straight forward, while opposite her, the Black Dragon King Xingousa had his right hand clenched into a fist, the fist covered in strange scales pressing right up against the tip of her sword.

In the instant that no one could clearly see, the two of them had suddenly clashed.

Invisible shockwaves rolled out from where they stood and spread toward every direction.

The “aftershocks” caused by a battle between two Thrones made the Fallen Angels and Black Dragons closest to them lose their balance on the spot under the impact.

“As expected, she has power beyond Throne-tier… so she’s been hiding her strength this whole time?”

Watching Tianyin’s figure in the center of the battlefield, Mihiel narrowed her eyes slightly, looking deep in thought.

“Although I still don’t know what your goal is in seeking out Lady Lucifer… but if you’re willing to use your strength to hold off the Black Dragon King… then we Fallen Angels will repay this favor!”

Of course, Tianyin was already fully absorbed in her battle with the Black Dragon King and did not hear Mihiel’s words at all.

However… in this fight against the Black Dragon King, even though it was Samael controlling the body, in the end it was still Tianyin’s own body. So to a certain degree, the pressure Samael felt coming from the Black Dragon King, Tianyin was feeling as well.

And this Black Dragon King before her… could be said to be the very first opponent Tianyin had ever faced who was this troublesome.

Wrath, Greed, Gluttony.

She clearly already possessed three powers of the Seven Original Sins, but even if she unleashed them at full force, she still could not inflict any damage on the Black Dragon King before her.

What made it even more frustrating was that the Black Dragon King had astonishing resistance to some elemental and magic-type attacks, including special attacks imbued with the power of the Original Sins.

It would not be an exaggeration to say he was outright immune to that kind of damage.

Of course, even that might have been fine, since Tianyin’s strongest fighting style was physical attacks, close-quarters combat.

But the Black Dragon King in front of her was even more proficient in melee. His speed was not as fast as Tianyin’s, but in terms of strength and combat skill, he was completely overwhelming her.

So…

Only a few minutes had passed since the battle began, and Tianyin had already noticed that Samael had been drawn into a difficult struggle.

『Are you alright… Samael…』

「I’m fine, it’s just that the Black Dragon King truly lives up to his name… I’m still not his match right now…」

In her mind, Tianyin and Samael spoke with each other.

In reality, as Tianyin fought the Black Dragon King, the Fallen Angels also launched into battle against the remaining few hundred Black Dragons.

Because of the Fallen Angels’ advantage in numbers, the Black Dragon clan was clearly at a disadvantage.

However, the Black Dragon King Xingousa did not seem to care much about the disadvantage his Black Dragons were at.

On the contrary, he looked Tianyin up and down with great interest.

“Interesting… you have the same Original Sin power on you as Lucifer… but it’s not the aura of Pride, so which one could it be…”

“Since you can’t guess it, stop guessing. And your eyes… really disgust me!”

Samael controlled Tianyin’s body to quickly close in on the Black Dragon King, then swung the knight’s sword in her hands, the one called the Victory Golden Sword, in a vicious slash toward him.

Vast Original Sin power covered the blade, and as Tianyin swung, that power surged toward the Black Dragon King with a world-shattering force.

“You don’t learn, do you? You already saw in our fight just now that the power of Original Sin has no effect on me, didn’t you?”

The Black Dragon King was utterly disdainful. Faced with Tianyin’s imposing attack, this time he did not even bother to block.

As expected, after taking Tianyin’s powerful blow, the Black Dragon King did not suffer any real damage at all.

“Foolish… battles for our Black Dragon clan have always been settled fist to fist! Fancy-looking attacks don’t work on me at all!”

“Is that so, Black Dragon King!”

Tianyin’s blood-red eyes narrowed, her expression somewhere between a smile and not.

The next second, the Black Dragon King’s expression suddenly darkened.

“My power… you can actually steal my power! Damn… damn it! A mere human dares to steal the power of a dragon!”

With the power of Gluttony, Tianyin could devour another’s strength to temporarily enhance herself. Not only that, it was also a way to weaken powerful enemies at the same time.

Right now, Samael, in control of Tianyin’s body, was using the power of Gluttony to forcibly seize the Black Dragon King’s power and use it to strengthen herself.

Realizing his strength had been stolen, even if it was only a little, the Black Dragon King clearly could not accept it!

As if provoked, the Black Dragon King launched a raging storm of blows at Tianyin.

His scale-covered fists swung again and again, his figure dragging countless afterimages through the sky. Of course, Tianyin, whose speed was even faster, left behind even more afterimages.

From an outsider’s perspective, the very center of the battlefield looked like countless Black Dragon Kings and countless Tianyins were all fighting at once…

As the battlefield between two Thrones, the sky over this stretch of the Abyss let out a strained wail, and crack after crack in space kept appearing and vanishing over the battlefield.

“Human… you… have succeeded in angering me!”

After his flurry of attacks were all blocked by Tianyin in time, the Black Dragon King Xingousa let out an enraged roar…

The next moment, the middle-aged man in Tianyin’s sight vanished, replaced by… a gigantic Black Dragon, whose vertical pupils alone were unimaginably huge, a dragon far larger than the frost dragon Ysera Tianyin had seen before!

『This is… wait, that’s his true form!』

Seeing the furious Black Dragon King reveal his real body, Samael, in control of Tianyin’s body, had nothing but grimness in her eyes…

「Xiaoyin… it looks like what’s coming next is our real hard fight…」
