Chapter 1420
Chapter 1420
Wrath and Greed suddenly broke into a fight. Like two people playing musical chairs, or predators fighting over the same prey, they skipped any and all discussion and immediately tried to tear each other apart.Just because they were both part of the seven sins didn't mean they were allies. At the end of the day, they cared only about themselves. It was to be expected, given sins weren't exactly synonymous with unity and collectivist values.
Darian's inner world was a complete mess.
Crash!
Greed, which had already emerged the moment Darian logged into the virtual space, pushed Wrath back with a peculiar power.
Clink! Rattle!!
Accompanied by the sound of falling coins, Wrath’s form began to be ruthlessly crushed. Every time it made a move, the sound of coins dropping only grew louder.
Naturally, Wrath unleashed overwhelming power in retaliation and pressured Greed. True to its name, most of its strength came from its fury. The sheer intensity of its rage felt like the roar of a terrifying apex predator.
Wrath let out a mysterious flame that rapidly burned Greed. Wrath tried to rip Greed apart, while Greed barely managed to defend against the onslaught.
At first, they looked evenly matched, but as time passed, Greed seemed to be getting pushed back.
Yet, that turned out to be a false observation.
“Heh. Hehe.”
Greed let out a strange chuckle as it fought in silence. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit into something.
Surprisingly enough, the mysterious flame Wrath had created was effectively scattered by the blow. After that, the same kind of flame then began to blaze around Greed's hands.
It ate its opponent's power and made it its own. It looked similar to the authority of Predatory Assimilation, but it felt too different for it to be the actual Predatory Assimilation.
True to its name, Greed sought to take everything for itself. Its bizarre power allowed it to steal the strength of others. Each of their powers was based on the original influence Darian’s potentials held.
Even after Greed stole its power, Vrath didn't stop charging at it. It instantly lunged in and overpowered Greed, pinning it down.
As Greed flicked its hand, the sound of coins clinking rang out once more. Wrath staggered heavily once again, but Wrath was similarly abnormal and powerful.
Whether its arm was burning or twisting up with a weird noise, it didn't care. It climbed on top of Greed and maniacally hammered down on it.
With every hit, the surrounding terrain crumpled and scattered as if being pulverized into dust.
Greed struggled desperately to hold on, but it couldn't steal Wrath's power again. Its ability apparently had some kind of cooldown before it could be used again.
After getting slammed over and over, Greed strongly clapped its hands together, and the sound of many coins falling echoed once again.
As a result, Greed blocked Wrath's punch head-on for the first time.
Boom!!!
Wrath flinched in surprise at Greed's sudden boost in power, and Greed wasn’t the type to let such an opening slide. It slammed a powerful hit back at Wrath before putting some distance between them.
Wrath looked down at its hand. Greed hadn't simply stolen its power like it did with the flame. Instead, it looked like it obtained what it craved—something that didn't belong to it.
“Hah. You've gotta be kidding me. You're that greedy for someone else's power?”
“Ugh. Heh. It’s your fault for having such power. It was making me mad.”
