Seven Sins System

Seven Sins System Chapter 302. Fake Lord of Wrath

Aria's annoyance was palpable as my reminder grated on her nerves. She clenched her teeth, struggling to contain her irritation. I knew it was the most practical choice for both of us, but Aria had always been one to consider her options thoroughly.

A sly grin crept across my face as I decided to sweeten the deal. "I have interesting information. I bet you never heard of it," I tempted her, my expression laced with a smug confidence that was hard to ignore.

She couldn't help but snort in annoyance, her resistance slowly crumbling. "Fine," she relented, her voice carrying the weight of a reluctant agreement. " But that doesn't mean I will hesitate to stop you if you try to hurt mortals," she warned, pointing an accusatory finger in my direction.

I couldn't resist a chuckle at her threat. "Aria, that's a cruel slander," I replied, feigning hurt as I raised an eyebrow. "I am a doctor, after all," I continued with an innocent smile that would have made any mortal trust me implicitly. "There's no way I would harm a mortal."

Aria's sarcasm hung heavily in the air, her disbelief evident in the way she scoffed at my response. "Oh, please," she retorted, her tone dripping with cynicism. "That Theo guy. It's you who killed him, right?" she accused, her eyes narrowing as she locked onto mine.

I couldn't help but shake my head from side to side, my expression casual and nonchalant. "Not me," I replied with a shrug, as if discussing some trivial matter.

Aria's skepticism only deepened, and her eyes bore into mine with a piercing intensity. "Do you honestly think I'll buy that excuse?" she questioned, her voice taking on a tone that I recognized all too well—a tone she reserved solely for our interactions.

I couldn't help but grin at her skepticism, reveling in the banter that had become a staple of our exchanges. "Yeah," I affirmed, my tone equally casual. "The agreement doesn't allow me to do such things, remember?" I reminded her, my words carrying a playful undertone.

Aria's initial suspicion and disbelief seemed to gradually fade into the background. Her eyes, once filled with doubt, now bore a different expression—one of cautious curiosity. With a hint of uncertainty, she ventured, "So, it's not you?" Her voice carried a glimmer of hope, as if she desperately wanted to believe my words.

I leaned back in my chair, maintaining a relaxed demeanor as I confirmed, "No, it wasn't me." My tone was light, almost indifferent, as if we were discussing the weather rather than a life-altering event. It was the mischievous smile that danced upon my lips that revealed the devilish truth. "But I was the one who threw him into the monster nest," I admitted.

Aria's eyes widened in sheer shock at my admission. "You... you threw him into a monster nest?" Her voice was tinged with a mixture of disbelief and displeasure, her gaze locked onto mine as if searching for any signs of remorse.

I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction, my amusement bubbling to the surface. "Well, yes," I admitted with a playful shrug. "But hear me out. He was endangering the students, and his intentions were far from noble. He had summoned my sister, and his one request was to behead me," I explained, as if these reasons justified my actions.

Aria's inquiry hung in the air, her words laden with a seriousness that demanded my attention. "What about that other paladin?" she pressed, her eyes fixed firmly on mine as she sought answers.

I tilted my head slightly, feigning ignorance for a brief moment. "You mean Gem?" I clarified, my voice casual despite the gravity of her question.

Her gaze didn't waver, and she nodded solemnly. "Yes. You killed him too, right?" Aria's voice now carried a weight of accusation, her suspicion clear in her piercing stare.

I didn't evade her question. Instead, I met her gaze head-on and confirmed, "Yes, I did."

Aria's gasp cut through the tension between us like a knife. Her reaction was visceral, a mixture of shock and disappointment that manifested in a swift and unexpected movement. Once more, she pointed her sword directly at me, her intentions unmistakable. But as our fates were intertwined, the threads of fate reacted just as they had before. My thread shielded me, providing an invisible barrier of protection, while hers seemed to restrain her, holding her back from launching an attack.

I remained perfectly still, not yielding an inch.

"So, you did kill a mortal," Aria finally spoke, her tone filled with displeasure.

I held my ground, locked in a tense standoff with Aria, her sword still pointed at me, our threads of fate pulsing with energy.

"Not only him, but also his subordinates. But they weren't mortals anymore when I killed them," I finally spoke, breaking the silence.

Aria's frown deepened as she absorbed my words. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity and a hint of skepticism.

I cleared my throat before elaborating. "They had used the crystals to transform their bodies. Their intent was to eliminate me, and they had even gone so far as to kidnap one of the academy students."

Aria's grip on her sword remained unwavering as she processed this new information. "Which crystals?" she inquired, her eyes never leaving mine.

I could sense the lingering tension between us, but I continued to explain. "The dark ones," I replied, my voice steady. "They harnessed the power of those crystals to transform into demons. The ones I ended were no longer mortals but had become my own kin, demons."

Aria slowly lowered her sword. Her eyes, however, remained fixed on me, scrutinizing my every word.

I seized the opportunity to divulge more about the situation. "They also say this has something to do with the Lord of Wrath," I revealed, watching closely for her reaction.

Aria's frown deepened as she absorbed this new piece of information. She sought confirmation, her voice laced with a mix of skepticism and concern. "They mentioned your name?" she asked.

I nodded, not hesitating to share this revelation. "Yes, they did. And to top it off, they had the audacity to label me a fake. Quite sad, don't you think?" I responded, my tone tinged with disappointment yet underscored by a layer of sarcasm.

Her curiosity was piqued, and she pressed for more details. "Then what else did they say?" Aria inquired, leaning forward slightly.

I considered her question carefully before responding, my tone more measured. "Well, if you want more information from me, you're going to have to give me something in return," I asserted, raising an eyebrow. "After all, you've been here longer than I have, right?"
