Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

The ground started trembling. It was as if there was an earthquake in the place—everyone fighting lost their balance. The warriors tried to hold onto the ground, trying to balance themselves.

Instead of calming down, the earthquake only intensified as time passed.

Both the sides of Elves were slightly surprised at the sudden earthquake which had interfered in their battle. Despite the earthquake, the battle didn't stop even now.

The bad blood between the two sides was so deep that even in this condition, the fighting continued as each side tried to destroy the other side when they had a hard time balancing themselves.

"The more intense the earthquake, the more their numbers." Azekiel was quite pleased with the intensity of the earthquake since it implied that he was successful.

He held a nearby tree, keeping himself balanced, observing the battlefield. He hoped for the earthquake to get even more intense. One Sand Demon meant a slight trembling under the ground since the Sand Demons traveled underground. But when there were more Sand Demons traveling together, it resulted in an earthquake.

The more there were underground, the more their numbers.

The ground soon started splitting apart. At many places, there were massive cracks on the ground; they only became wider.

The cracks were over ten meters wide at places and went on for over a hundred meters in length.

Through one of the cracks, a strange creature made an appearance. A massive snake-like creature came out of the cracks.

The strange creature had the body of a snake, but it had shells all around its body as if they were his Armor to protect his body.

Moreover, unlike the snakes, the strange creature didn't crawl. It had legs that helped it walk. Its thousands of legs helped it move much faster than it should've been able to move.

The creature had a two-meter thick body which went on for up to twenty meters in length.

The creature straight went on to the nearest dead body and ate it, swallowing directly. He didn't even wait for a second before moving into the next body. Each body eaten by the Sand Demon was transformed into strength for it.

Not long after the first creature came out, there came a second and then a third.

The earthquake was still getting more intense. The cracks in the ground also started increasing as more Sand Demons came out.

Within a few minutes, the battlefield had over twenty Sand Demons, and it didn't stop. In the next five minutes, twenty turned to forty and then to seventy.

Azekiel only needed fifty of them. Initially, he was even worried if he was going to have enough, but there appeared to be more than enough, even surpassing Azekiel's expectations.

There were around a hundred Sand Demons on the ground before the earthquake actually stopped. All the Elves were stunned to find their battlefield being overrun by the Sand Demons.

Fortunately, the Sand Demon wasn't attacking them. They were just eating the dead, not caring about the battle. They ignored the living.

Unlike the Sand Demons, the Lords weren't here to avoid the Sand Demons. Seeing so many Sand Demons, the Lords were excited. Even if they exclude around fifty for Azekiel, they still had a lot they could kill. In fact, it was also possible that another one of them could clear the floor right here as well.

The Lords started attacking the Sand Demons.

The Sand Demons were mostly ignoring the people that were alive, but after they came under a barrage of attacks, the Sand Demons appeared to become crazy as well. They started attacking back.

All the Sand Demons screeched at the same time. A barrage of sand came out of their mouth, creating something akin to a sandstorm.

Their attack forced everyone to close their eyes to avoid the sand getting in their eyes.

"Lia, Raphael, get ready. It's time for us to get involved."

*****

Three hours passed since Azekiel decided to join the battle. The sandstorm had calmed down. A dead Sand Demon's body lay under Azekiel's feet.

There was complete silence on the entire battlefield. The Dark Elves stood as if frozen at the amazing display of Azekiel.

Even the Nature Elves were amazed. When the Sand Demons started attacking them, they also attacked back, but the shell of the Sand Demons was just so strong that even their strongest attacks had a hard time penetrating their shell. On the other hand, Azekiel...

Azekiel held a black Ax in his hand. The blood was dripping from the ax, belonging to the last Sand Demon that he had killed.

All the Lords stood in a group, just observing Azekiel. In the last three hours, the ten of them managed to kill only one sand demon, and even that took them so long. All of them had to work together to kill a Sand Demon.

On the other hand, in just three hours, this was Azekiel's seventieth hunt! The rest of the Sand Demons had already escaped. Despite that, just the fact that he managed to kill so many alone that in itself was more than enough.

What surprised the Lords even more was the Ax which seemed similar to the Weapon of Sin that was used by the Lord of Lust. There were only a few minor differences.

The shell that was so hard to break for them... It looked like child's play for that Ax.

"So that's the strength that can kill even Kings... The Strength of a Kingslayer," the Lord of Lies stated. "I guess we really choose the right side. The person before us... He is quite special."

"He is. He seems to know things that even we don't know, despite us being here for years. It's like he can see the future," Yoan also chimed in.

"His strength, his knowledge... Everything about him is incredible. I wonder just how he gained all that knowledge and strength despite starting so late. Just what is his system like?"

"I doubt we're ever going to know. All I know is that he shines the brightest in the Tower at the moment," Layim responded. "There are times when the ones who shine the brightest are also the ones who fall the fastest. I hope that's not the case for him."

"Hah, I don't think it'll be. Just look at him! He is like a god of the tower. He is the Kingslayer. No king can compare to him, let alone be able to kill him. As for the Trials, the way he clears them, it's like he has no weakness. A person like him can never fall," the Lord of Theft firmly stated.
