At noon, above the city of Troon, a blazing white sun and a blood-red full moon faced each other, covering their respective halves of the sky with white, blue and crimson. The boundary between them was clearly defined and not distorted, as if the two forces were competing with each other.
A pure white light man formed by holy light floated in the air, staring at the black-winged demon shrouded in black fog opposite.
Pitch-black wings embraced the demon, and thick black fog obscured its features, leaving only its short light golden hair and blood-red eyes vaguely visible.
The black fog around the demon gradually condensed into complex symbols, and seven colors of light, red, orange, purple, green, golden, light blue, and dark blue, lit up behind the demon’s head, and condensed into different magic circles, like a crown of nothingness worn on the demon’s head.
The light man’s blue eyes turned slightly solemn.
Seven Crowns of Sins!
In the world defined by God, the seven original sins of pride, anger, greed, lust, gluttony, envy, and sloth were innate to human beings. They must be washed away through prayer and redemption in order for them to become innocent people who could enter paradise after death.
Most demons in the Demon Realm, existing as the opposite, possessed a specialized quality of original sin. The five demon lords, however, were at the pinnacle of demonic power, carrying such intense original sin that a crown of sin could be condensed upon their heads.
Ordinary people would be corroded by their own sins as soon as they took one look at the Crown of Original Sin and would be completely corrupted and degraded into a demon-like existence, which even the holy light of the Church might not be able to resist.
Different demon lords symbolized different original sins, but the most powerful one, the Black Winged Lord, had never shown his Crown of Original Sin to the Church.
Now Anos knew: this demon lord who looked like a fallen angel actually possessed the complete Crown of the Seven Sins!
——Unfortunately, it wouldn’t work on me.
The light man was not affected by the Crown of the Seven Sins at all. Thus the illusory wings of light flapped gently behind him, and then a blazing holy light appeared out of thin air and fiercely bombarded the black-winged demon!
Seven colors of light magic circles spread out and reorganized in front of the demon, like an indestructible wall, easily taking the attack of holy light.
Rays of holy light continued to pour down, but the Crown of Seven Sins remained unshaken.
Behind the demon, the pure black and blood-colored arrow was slowly growing larger.
The corners of his lips, shrouded in black mist, curled up in mockery.
Holy light did indeed restrain demons. As an earthly angel, Anos’s Holy Light power was nearly limitless… but so what? He knew almost no complex divine arts and could only attack with the most wasteful methods… Ha! With the sin and negativity of the entire Principality of Perde, the gap in “quantity” between them was eliminated, and the gap in “skill” was highlighted!
The light figure seemed to realize this as well. So he didn’t waste any more Holy Light attacks. Instead, he lowered his hands, his eyes as blue as the sky staring silently at the demon opposite him. He then clenched his hands, raised them upwards, and chanted in a low voice, “God, bind me!”
This was a kind of word magic.
The blazing white sun above his head suddenly brightened slightly.
Then, the light emanating from the light man suddenly and slowly converged, and the whole person became solid and pure from being too dazzling to be seen clearly. He no longer glowed, but became like a solid entity, and every detail of his handsome face was clearly revealed.
Then, he rushed towards the black-winged demon like a bullet.
The Seven Crowns of Sins reacted extremely quickly and moved in front of him.
The corners of the light man’s lips curled up slightly, his arm muscles then bulged, and he punched the devil’s crown that condensed countless original sins!
“Crack!”
A crisp sound like glass breaking was heard, and cracks slowly appeared on the Crown of Seven Sins.
The Black Wing Lord was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the light man had already thrown more than ten punches in a row!
With an even harsher cracking sound, the Crown of Seven Sins completely disintegrated and dissipated into thick black mist!
The light man looked calm, then without hesitation, he punched the Black Wing Lord at an almost invisible speed!
The demon’s dark wings were raised horizontally to take the punch but were knocked back more than ten meters.
The light man did not continue to attack. Instead, he flew up with the force of the rebound, straightened his right leg, and swept it hard at the arrow that was still growing bigger!
The arrow aimed at the light domain barrier could not withstand this force and turned into thick black mist like the Crown of the Seven Sins.
The light man exhaled softly and looked at the culprit, but his eyes froze immediately.
The wings that had previously wrapped around the body of the fallen angel-like demon were blown apart by the attack just now, and the black mist that enveloped the body was mostly dispelled, revealing its hidden true face.
He had light blond hair and eyebrows, and a face as beautiful as an angel, but his blood-red eyes looked evil and cold.
Anos was very familiar with this face.
It was his own face.
At this moment, the pair of eyes that were exactly the same as his, but with a different color, looked over from afar, overflowing with malice and hatred as if they were real.
The light man floated in the air, silent for only a second, his eyes filled with calmness and determination again, and he flew towards the other party quickly.
——Think about other things after solving the problem!
The Black Wing Lord suddenly sneered, and a complex magic circle appeared in front of him, with a bright red scale in the middle.
In an instant, the magic circle and scales merged into his body.
Thick black fog then surged towards him and became part of his power.
The light man’s punch arrived just at that moment and hit the demon in the face!
The force that was able to knock the black-winged demon away before was now like hitting a solid iron plate!
No, it was not an iron plate, it was like scales!
Pitch-black scales quickly grew on the Black Winged Lord’s face and body, and the wings on his back also transformed into scaly wings. His body also grew larger, and a long tail swung out from behind his waist…
Right in front of the light man, he turned into a pitch-black dragon!
The figure of the light man was reflected in the bright red reptilian pupils, and a cold voice sounded at the same time: “You know how to make up for your weaknesses, and I know it too.”
Behind the black dragon, an arrow aimed at the light domain barrier was condensed again.
….
Luo Mi had already landed on a tower, looking at the battle between the two people in the sky from afar.
After the Black Wing Lord turned into a dragon, Luo Mi was surprised at first: “Is the Black Wing Lord a dragon? Isn’t it said that only the Red Horn Lord is a dragon?”
[The Black Wing Lord must have used some kind of magic, using dragon scales to transform into a dragon for a short period of time.]
After the system’s voice sounded, Luo Mi was a little surprised, but also felt dissatisfied and asked: “What were you doing just now?”
[The system also has its own rest time, the host should not be too unreasonable.]
What kind of rest does the system need! Luo Mi muttered to himself, then asked, “Can Anos win?”
The system hesitated:
[From the setting, the power of the Son of God himself is the strongest.]
Luo Mi did not ignore the word “himself”: “But now Anos’s real body is still blocked in the church, using only the power separated from the angel’s arrival; and the Black Wing Lord is still absorbing this strange black energy.”
He couldn’t help but look towards the palace, thoughtfully, “If I can find the source of the black energy absorbed by the Black Wing Lord, can I help Anos?”
[…Have you, the host, made up your mind to side with the Holy Son?]
“Now that Anos has been called out, is there any other choice?” Luo Mi sighed deeply. “If one is not completely loyal, then he is completely disloyal. Anyway, the target of the mission is the Son of God, not the devil… I can’t just watch everyone in Troon City die, right?”
The system fell silent.
After a moment, it said:
[According to the energy flow detected by the system, it should be in the direction of the palace.]
“That’s right. He definitely didn’t play William II just to satisfy his desire to be king…” Luo Mi muttered, then he flapped his wings and flew low to the ground towards the palace. “It’s also a good opportunity to see what the statue of Divine Wisdom in the palace looks like.”
….
The holy city of Bethlehem.
The elderly Pope sat in a soft red velvet high-back chair, looking ahead silently.
In front of him, the holy light had condensed into a huge illusory mirror. Under the white, blue and crimson sky in the mirror were two fighting shadows.
Pope St. Gregory III stared at the mirror for a moment, then gently shook the papal scepter in his hand.
The image in the mirror disappeared and soon turned into another scene: it was a succubus flying close to the ground, slowly approaching the palace of the Principality of Perde.
The succubus landed in front of the palace, looked up at the sky, and then carefully stepped into the palace covered with black magic circle symbols.
He held the black bracelet on his wrist with one hand and carefully approached each person in a stiff state and then came to the meeting hall where the nobles stood.
The nobles were surrounded by complex and strange black magic symbols, with thick black mist bubbling above their heads. They were obviously in a different state from the other controlled people.
The succubus circled around the nobles several times, seemingly looking for a solution.
Soon, as if he had received some kind of warning, he walked behind the throne. His figure quickly became transparent, like a phantom, penetrating the floor behind the throne and slowly sinking.
During this process, the Pope clenched the papal scepter several times, as if he was considering a difficult decision.
After a long time, the old pope sighed softly and said, “Perhaps this is a good change.”
He raised his hand, as if wanting to make the sign of the cross on his chest but finally forced himself to hold back.
….
Originally, Luo Mi couldn’t pass through completely opaque solids, but now he was in a state of overflowing magic power, and with the blessing of the blood moon in the sky, he could barely pass through the floor tiles – but he couldn’t see the direction at all on the tiles, and walking was very difficult.
Fortunately, under the guidance of the system, he finally arrived at his destination.
As soon as he emerged from the wall, Luo Mi couldn’t wait to regain his physical form. He then leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. “I’m so tired. Is it so tiring for all the phantoms to pass through walls?”
[Otherwise, how could it be one of the lowest-level demons in the Demon Realm, alongside the Succubus?]
“It’s such a powerful ability, but the magnitude is so small…” Luo Mi shook his head, and after barely recovering some strength, he raised his head and observed the situation in this secret room.
The layout here was identical to a regular church prayer room, except that the cross that once represented God had been replaced with a pure white stone statue. Meanwhile, the walls and floor were covered in black patterns and symbols, very similar to what Luo Mi had seen around the nobles in the palace’s meeting hall.
Perhaps by breaking these magic circles, we can interrupt the magic of the Black Wing Lord.
Luo Mi took two steps forward and stopped in front of the stone statue.
The stone statue depicted a faceless figure with six pairs of wings extending from its back, four pairs obscuring its body and two pairs held high. Although the figure’s face was unclear, it still gave Luo Mi a sense of holiness and purity.
“Is this the statue of the angel ‘Divine Wisdom’?”
Luo Mi blinked and observed attentively.
He found that this pure white statue was not stained with black magic circle symbols like other places in the prayer room, and it was still pure and flawless. All the magic circles seemed to disappear at his feet.
Luo Mi didn’t understand magic, but his intuition told him that this statue must be closely related to everything that had happened in Troon City.
He reached out and touched the statue, then withdrew his hand with a hiss: “It hurts!”
After touching the statue, it felt like touching charcoal!
“Can this angel statue do this much damage to demons?” Luo Mi muttered, and then became troubled: If he couldn’t touch the statue, how could he try to destroy the magic circle?
After thinking for a moment, Luo Mi’s eyes suddenly lit up: “System, can you put this statue into the system space?”
The system hesitated for a moment:
[According to system detection, this statue’s position is quite special and requires a separate system space to store it.]
“It’s okay. I have 60 points now!” Luo Mi was quite generous. “Open one if you want.”
The system paused for a moment:
[Already enabled for the host, consuming 3 points.]
Luo Mi quickly touched the statue with his fingers again and then blew air on his fingers with a “hissing” sound.
But now the pure white angel statue had disappeared.
After the statue disappeared, Luo Mi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Below the angel statue, there was a deep entrance!
Those strange magic circle symbols all looked to be coming out from the cave!
T/N: What do you think: which color corresponds to which sin?
IMO, red=anger, orange=gluttony, purple=pride, green=envy, golden=greed, light blue=sloth, and dark blue=lust
P.S. The pope watching the fight as if on Youtube, swiping to different videos with his wand….hehehe
