Chapter 28 Sin of Greed, Avaritia! (1/2)
Endrun's red eyes shined. Although the vampires were weak against spirit techniques, now that he himself had was only a spirit, he believed that he could help Xue Ren. But soon, that feeling disappeared. The figure that was slowly appearing had both spirit and energy. It was as if the physical body has entered Xue Ren's soul room...
'What the hell is going on?'
Soon, Xue Ren appeared in his soul room as well. He was breathing heavily and sweating a lot. Since this was his soul room, he had no wounds. His mind was simply exhausted... Now, both Xue Ren and Endrun stood next to each other. If one looked at them, one could notice a several similarities.
The dark energy moved freely. It was forming a humanoid figure. Xue Ren and Endrun both had no way of stopping this. With hopeless expresions, they could only look... When the shape finally formed, Endrun has stepped forward. Seeing this made Xue Ren's heart warm. Is that how it feels to have big brother? Anyway, it wasn't time to think about that...
The humanoid figure had the face of frog. It truly looked grotesque, but what was even more disgusting was its laugh...
”AHAHAHAHA!” The frog laughed!
”Another madman...” hearing Xue Ren's voice, the monster turned his big eyes to him...
”Boy, good job beating Li Rong like that. Even with my power, you have beaten him.”
”What are you?” the young man ignored his 'congratulations' and immediately asked the most important question!
The humanoid frog seeing his impatient look smiled strangely. It was then, he finally noticed Endrun.
'Is that remnant of soul?' There were a clans or families or another forces that passed down remnants of souls of their ancestors in order to help and lead the younger generations. Such assumption wasn't bad at all, even though it was wrong here.
”What am I? Hah! I am sin! Sin of Greed, Avaritia!” the monster proudly declared!
”Sin?”
”The higher existence! The existence that goes against divinity! Since we are sins, we live by using other living beings, the hosts! We use each other to grow. It's fair contract, don't you think?”
”...” The monster talked loudly and did his best to be very convincing. But Xue Ren ignored him...
”Accept me and you will get another power. The power to stand at the top!”
The frog mouth never stopped. Did he really believe that Xue Ren would simply accept him? The young man knew that this monster was strong. He saw his power on Li Rong, and if it could grow to the level of Divinity... 'Wait, grow?' Xue Ren thought...
”I see, so the potential of Li Rong is already done. You can't use him to grow, right?” Xue Ren smirked. He knew that he guessed properly by looking at the frog's face.
”So what? Your potential is on whole another level. We can have a long contract and then, we will simply part ways.” his voice was imbued with energy. It was invisible, but Xue Ren could feel it had effects similiar to dark energy. It was greed... Xue Ren's emotions got shaken. But then, he remembered how disgusting was Li Rong when they had fought. 'I want this, I want that' The young master wanted everything... It was truly disgusting sight...
”Fuck you and your contract.” Xue Ren refused him! He didn't let the greed overcome him. Was it because of the fight he had or his will has become stronger in such dire situation? Anyway, he refused! Such words of course made the monster angry, but he didn't show it.
