Chapter 513: Pride
The Devil of Pride.
The member of the Seven Deadly Sins said to be the most powerful in terms of combat power. A swordmaster who was not included among the ten great swordmasters of the continent, yet the devils already considered him the most powerful swordmaster on this continent.
That was the information Aldrian got from the memories of the Envy Devil at that time. As a fellow member of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Envy Devil knew just how powerful the Pride Devil was.
To be honest, Aldrian had to admit that it was true after seeing how powerful Pride was within the memories of the Envy Devil.
There was one time when Pride tried to spar with Wrath and Gluttony, but the result was that one of Wrath’s arms was cut off, and Gluttony received heavy injuries—not only external, but also to his soul—because Pride’s technique had damaged both his body and soul.
The Pride Devil’s sword technique is focused on obliteration and destruction, with each of his swings capable of cutting through an entire mountain range or even splitting a sea. His attainment in swordsmanship is so high that he has even comprehended techniques that allow him to attack an opponent’s soul directly.
He can also strike without anyone noticing the presence of his devil energy—another example of how advanced his mastery is. His sword intent and technique are refined to the point that they completely mask the subtle devil energy hidden within his attacks.
However, despite all the qualities of a powerful swordsman, his morals and character can be described as twisted and cruel—though all members of the Seven Deadly Sins are like that. But Pride’s cruelty is of a different kind. He is someone who takes pride in himself and his sword technique. He searches for anyone who can defeat him in swordsmanship, and he does so by any means necessary.
He did not hesitate to kill anyone as long as it allowed him to prove that his swordsmanship was the best. Even if it meant slaughtering an entire family just to show that his sword was "sharper" and "greater," he would do it without a second thought.
He had actually wanted to challenge the ten great swordmasters of the continent for a long time, but the Devil Lord never allowed him to go wild beyond his orders. Because of that, he never had the chance to seek them out and challenge them across the continent.
A solitary man and a sword maniac who did not see others as "living beings" but as objects to sharpen his swordsmanship.
