Chapter 374: Demons Don't Eat Bones
Seven Sins System Chapter 374. Demons Don't Eat Bones
My chuckle escaped before I could contain it, watching Puriel's reaction with amusement. "Jokes on you. It's just a skeleton," I quipped in a casual tone, my lips curling into a mischievous grin. It was true—the skeletal remains lying nearby had likely been there for years, reduced to nothing but bare bones adorned in ragged clothing.
Her response was swift and sharp, hissing with displeasure at my comment. "That's the same thing!" she retorted.
I waved off her protest with a scoff, shaking my head in amusement. "No, it's not. That is only bones; it's barely called a corpse," I countered confidently, as if I were some expert on the subject. From a devil's perspective, it was a valid distinction. A true corpse was adorned with flesh, whether rotten or not—a feast fit for certain demonic appetites. But bones alone held little appeal, even to the lowest of demons.
I continued to explain my reasoning. "See, a corpse still has something to offer—flesh, blood, organs. But bones? They're just... well, bones," I reasoned, the smirk on my face widening at my own audacity.
Puriel regarded me with a mixture of exasperation and amusement, clearly unimpressed by my attempt to dissect the finer points of corpse classification. But despite her disapproval, I couldn't help but revel in our conversation's absurdity.
"But it's human remains," she insisted, her disapproval evident in her expression.
I shrugged nonchalantly, unfazed by her criticism. "Demons don't eat bones. We aren't dogs," I asserted matter-of-factly, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Her reaction was immediate—a mixture of disbelief and disgust as she rolled her eyes in exasperation. "I shouldn't argue with a devil about this," she muttered regretfully, her gaze drifting towards the skeletal remains nearby. "I wonder if they killed her," she mused, her voice tinged with sadness.
