Chapter 168 - Special Soul (2/2)
After breaking off Avarice’s demon horn, Roy had still not vented his anger. He looked at Avarice, who was constantly waving his claws to try to scratch him, and sneered. He stretched his hand out and broke off his other demon horn!
Generally speaking, demon horns had a thick layer of cuticles that constantly piled up. The horns usually did not have too many sensory nerves, but this was only under normal circumstances. Roy’s brutal actions of breaking off Avarice’s demon horns also affected the roots of the horns. Avarice screamed in pain as black blood kept flowing out from his forehead.
Seeing Avarice’s miserable state, Roy finally felt relieved. After using Psychokinesis to choke Avarice in the air, he released his hand and took a few steps back.
As he retreated, Julia appeared from behind. This time, she did not show any mercy. The sharp sword in her hand flashed with cold light, and with a swift slash, she split Avarice in half!
Julia was petite and light-weight, so it was often easy for her to lose when facing opponents with immense strength. And it was not just her. Almost all angels were similar to her. In battles, angels usually used skills and magic power to defeat their opponents, and they rarely fought their opponents with strength, so Julia was extremely angry when Avarice sent her flying twice. She felt that it was slightly embarrassing in front of Roy, her partner, so she directly killed Avarice.
Roy had stepped back and gave way just now because he had noticed Julia’s thoughts and gave her a chance to salvage her face…
After being split in half, Avarice finally stopped struggling. However, his body was clearly dead, but his bright red eyes were still staring intently at Roy, as though he wanted to bring Roy, the enemy who had taken away his gold, into Hell together.
Dear Heavens, that gold was clearly Roy’s…
Julia swung the longsword in her hand and shook off the black blood beads on the sword. Then she walked up to Roy and said, “Did you notice? This guy’s strength fluctuated a lot…” “Yes!” Roy nodded. “It seems I stimulated him when I put away the gold.” “I don’t know much about the Seven Deadly Sins, but…” Julia said thoughtfully. “From Avarice’s situation, certain emotions seem to increase their strength?”
In Fury’s words, the Seven Deadly Sins that escaped from the Charred Council’s prison were not demons but aggregations of specific negative emotional forces, and they existed in the form of souls. After escaping from the prison and coming to the human world, they chose different bodies to possess. Avarice had possessed this goblin, but because goblins did not know how to use magic power, which was the case in many worlds where goblins existed, in the battle with Roy and Julia, this goblin had not used magic power to attack.
However, without using magic, it had immense strength and agility, especially the last burst that forced Roy to use Bloodlust to hold on to it.
After a brief exchange with Julia, Roy immediately understood that perhaps the source of the power of the Seven Deadly Sins was the corresponding seven negative emotions. Once they produced or absorbed these negative emotions from other places, it was possible to increase their strength.
“We have to hurry!” Roy said. “Now that this world is in the End War, the negative emotions born under the stimulation of the war are definitely very strong. This is when the Seven Deadly Sins are absorbing power. No wonder they come to the human world. If we ignore them or put it off for too long, their strength might increase to the point where we can’t handle them…”Julia nodded in agreement. She knew very well that as long as creatures had intelligence, they would inevitably produce all kinds of emotions. This point was the same for humans, angels, and demons. Happiness, pleasure, fear, greed, anger, and so on, without these emotions, intelligent creatures could not be called intelligent creatures, and they could only be regarded as puppets.
Precisely because of this, even though the population of the humans in this world had been greatly reduced, the Seven Deadly Sins could still obtain and absorb these negative emotions from angels or demons, thereby increasing their strength and breaking through their shackles to become more powerful existences. At that time, it would be troublesome.
After talking for a while, Roy found that despite the goblin being dead, Avarice’s soul had not been exposed.
After thinking about it, Roy took out the Talisman of Sin and activated it with magic power.
A dazzling light flashed and turned into a bolt of lightning that connected to the goblin. Under the power of this Talisman of Sin, Avarice, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, was finally pulled out of the body!
It was a special soul that was constantly distorting, and countless faces emerged. Every face that appeared on the soul had a greedy expression, but this scene only lasted for a moment before the Talisman of Sin drew out the soul.
“Ah-!” Roy did not know whether it was an illusion or not, but the Talisman of Sin even let out a satisfied sigh.
Seeing this, Roy suddenly had a thought and stored the Talisman of Sin into the system space. He wanted to see what Avarice’s soul was in the system…
