Chapter 1478: Chance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gluttony overate?
Most of the time, Gluttony was in a constant state of hunger. Even after he devoured a large amount of food, it only slowed the speed of hunger. It would be quite rare for Gluttony to feel full for even a little bit.
Overeating was definitely a first for Kieran.
Kieran strode over to the Devourer and before he truly got closer, he tried using [Mardos Lair] and [Devourer Shadow Mail] to test the snake body, wanting to check whether the other two equipments had any reaction.
Unfortunately, without the ‘user’ behind the Devourer, the two items didn’t react at all, forcing Kieran to his backup plan.
He waved at Nelson, signaling to the Outpost Master to bring everyone away.
The electrifying scene that had happened just now made Nelson stand behind Kieran after he walked out.
The conspiracy of God of Lightning, the fallen Gods, and the demigod who tried to stop it with all his effort.
With the knight’s way in Nelson’s mind, he looked at Kieran with a fanatical gaze after the series of events.
Kieran fit every single criteria of the image in his mind and the image was the person that he would follow and serve for the rest of his life.
“Everyone, move out! Now, leave this place at once!”
Nelson shouted his orders and the knights in the area quickly moved out. The civilians didn’t voice any objection, neither did the traitors.
The moment the Devourer appeared above the sky, the traitors had plunged into panic, at a loss of what was happening, but they understood how powerful Ryan the demigod was, since he was able to kill the God of Lightning.
How could a mere mortal oppose a God?
Therefore, the traitors who originated from the temple itself were more obedient than common civilians.
The area was emptied out swiftly.
Nelson bowed again before being the last one to leave.
After making sure Nelson and the others had left the place, Kieran’s hearts moved.
Pride walked out with his heads up and Sloth followed behind him.
Greed, Wrath, Envy and Lust appeared too but they were looking ugly and didn’t hold back their clamours. However, when Pride glanced over his peers, the others shrunk into their necks, becoming quiet and scared like quail, not a single one of them daring to breathe loudly.
All of the cardinal sins were no longer the same.
Since the dreamy scene of breaking through the building, all of them had changed from ‘it’ to ‘him’.
All of them were propelled to a new position that they would never get to themselves, especially when the roof was broken by Gluttony back then. Despite all of them still being blurred and blank, they sensed something with their natural instinct and their instinct told them obeying and complying would be the best for them.
“Is that bastard really an idiot? How can he put everything he sees into his mouth? Isn’t he scared of dying due to overeating?”
Sloth was yawning and pouting as his hands moved back and forth in a flurry. The motion of his hands was the reflection of the calculation in his heart.
Sloth knew why his host had called all of them out. Likewise, he didn’t want anything to happen to Gluttony.
The last time was purely luck. Sloth wasn’t so naive to think that luck would always favour Gluttony. More so, Sloth tended to work things to the best of his ability with his own efforts.
The cardinal sins were born from Kieran’s emotions, although they were still affected by other kinds of emotions, and something deep down in the root were still the same.
Sloth was serious like never before.
“Let them go. Don’t hold them back, let them wreak havoc and let them have their way. It may be a chance for the four of them. You go to the head and I’ll go to the middle part,” Sloth said.
He then turned around to Kieran, “Boss, you might feel a little rough later, I suggest you find something to stuff in your mouth. Of course, that’s just my humble suggestion.”
Sloth quickly added more under Kieran’s cold gaze.
“How big will the gain be?” Kieran asked Sloth.
“Very big!” Sloth said surely.
“Then… I’ll be fine,” Kieran emphasized.
He started to concentrate his aura and raised it higher. His powerful aura rapidly grew to the point that it was pressuring for any man who laid eyes on him.
A special something in Kieran’s body started to burn and boil, even hotter than the Devil Flame!
“Okay, you are the boss!”
Sloth shrugged and looked at Bloody Mary, who just came out from the Devourer’s body.
Bloody Mary reeked of fishiness, its eyes showing disgust.
“Don’t look at me like that! Do you think I like it this way? That hungry bastard caused a mess inside, and I’m dragged down to the intestines!” Bloody Mary ranted.
“I’ll take it from here from you. We don’t trust anyone else,” Sloth told Bloody Mary.
Bloody Mary pouted and looked unwilling, “Fine, I know. Every single time, it’s me all the way.”
The High Demon the waved its hand.
“Be back quickly!” Bloody Mary told Sloth and the other sins.
It then walked over to Kieran’s side and saw Canberlanor, the Old Book, who was shivering beside Kieran. It raised a disdainful brow.
“Follow my lead, understand?”
Bloody Mary acted like it was handling a newbie on the team.
“Understand! Understand!” the white haired Canberlanor nodded repeatedly.
Until now, Canberlanor didn’t know what was happening, but he knew the God of Lightning and the Devourer. He knew neither one of them was something that he could afford to provoke.
But those two powerful beings had fallen, one killed and the other one … eaten?
Despite knowing the person he currently served was powerful, Canberlanor didn’t expect this kind of sheer power.
The Old Book suddenly realized he had made the best decision in the past few centuries.
He felt like he had hit the jackpot, a golden drumstick presented before his eyes,.
So, what else did he have to worry about?
A black long staff made out of walnut tree appeared in Canberlanor’s hand. He looked stern as he stood behind Kieran on the right; together with the High Demon on the left, both of them saw the cardinal sins vanish before their eyes.
The night breeze continued.
The southern night breeze wasn’t as chilling as the northern one. The night breeze was slightly warm and carried the smell of the forest.
It would be a pleasant feeling but Kieran couldn’t savour it at the moment because he felt pain!
Ugh!
A cold grunt later, Kieran’s body started to quiver.
Further away in the forest, a bunch of figures hiding in the dark saw everything. Their gaze became hot and their mind filled with greed.
“Our chance is here!” said the owner of the walnut tree.
“Yes! The chance is here!”
“Kill…”
The owner of Dal Stream and Dolder Caves smiled in a malicious way.
Then…
Pak!
A pair of hands went through the chest of the owner of Dal Stream and owner of Dolder Caves.
These two so-called ‘Gods’ looked down at the hands in their chest in an inconceivable gaze.
Bloody Mary shook its hands and flung away the two bodies. It widened its mouth and showed a ‘kind’ smile to the owner of the walnut tree.
“What are you people trying to do to my contractor? I didn’t get it the first time, can you repeat?”
