The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 210 - Explosion



The first demon Evan summoned was the 72nd demon, Count Andromalius. He was the weakest of all the 72 demons, but the price for his power was also the smallest. Of course, each demon had different levels of sigils, and the cost could vary.

By far, the strongest demon Evan summoned was the 70th demon, Prince Seere. Even considering Evan\'s current strength, this demon\'s spear was worth three years.

As Evan prepared for the battle in the forest, he drew two sigils on the palms of his hands. One belonged to - 70 demon Prince Seere, and the other belonged to 69th demon Marquis Decarabia.

Evan didn\'t want to use this sigil because the cost was quite high, but he had no other option. The monster was using his special ability, and Evan needed something equally destructive in return.

When Evan activated the sigil, his mind was transported to Nirvana. A demon was already waiting for him, strikingly different from all the previous demons.

It was a five-pointed star hovering in space. At its center was a large human eye, staring intently at Evan.

Evan calmly said: "Give me the power to kill it."

The star spun, and yellow energy began to emanate from it. It slowly transformed into a beautiful number, 33.

That was the price for the incredible power this demon could provide. Evan frowned but agreed anyway, he had no other options.

<Hmm, my current life span is 500 years, but considering the years sacrificed, I\'ve already spent 125 years of my life. I still have 375 years left, that\'s not too short, but I need to get as strong as I can right now.> Evan thought.

The next moment the life force began to leave him. Evan had gotten used to this procedure a long time ago, but it was still very unpleasant.

When the price was paid, the demon disappeared, and Evan returned to reality. Between the monster\'s horns was already a large crimson sphere. A huge amount of energy was concentrated in it. But now, Evan had something to answer with.

Evan put his palm forward, and it glowed bright yellow. The next moment a golden pentagram appeared in front of his palm. The pentagram became more stronger with each passing second.

After a while, the pentagram was only half the size of Evan himself. At the same time, the monster also finished its preparation.

The Crimson sphere glowed and transformed into a massive beam that flew toward Evan.

Whooosh.

The pentagram flashed, and a golden beam headed toward the monster. Each beam contained a massive amount of energy, and the moment they reached each other, there was a deafening explosion.

The winner would be the one whose attack was stronger. If Evan\'s beam cannot suppress the monster\'s beam, then Evan would be burned to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Boom.

Gold and Crimson energy clashed with each other. A shockwave spread out from the explosion site tens of meters away. The wave caused the trees to sway from side to side and small boulders to be pulverized.

Half of the lake was destroyed, and the water evaporated, and 90% of the village was burned. It was an unprecedented power that changed the landscape of the area.

Only one of them could survive. When the dust settled, you could see a figure standing upright in the vast crater. It was a monster, but its body was no longer ablaze. All his flesh was burned away, leaving only a bare skeleton.

The wind blew, and the skeleton fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Crackling.

A crackling sound was heard on the opposite side. The black-haired young man slowly rose from the ground and dusted off his cloak with a calm gaze.

At the very last moment, the golden energy absorbed the monster\'s energy and came down on him with all its power. The monster was instantly killed, and Evan was tossed aside.

Evan looked at the monster\'s remains and muttered: "Damn, not only did he force me to use this demon\'s power, but he didn\'t leave anything useful behind, either."

The monster Evan fought was a triple evolved, and one of those evolutions was special. If he sold this monster\'s carcass, he could make an astronomical amount of money. The chance of encountering such a monster was about 1 in 1000. It was a real rarity, any appraiser would want the carcass of such a monster.

"Huh, looks like I got lucky today." Proclaimed Evan looking at the shiny stone beneath the monster\'s skeleton.

It was the "Monster Core," and it had miraculously survived. Evan walked over to the corpse and picked up the core. It was different from all the previous ones Evan had seen.

The more evolutions the monster went through, the more saturated the color of its core became. But, the core of a monster that had undergone a special evolution had a faint hue.

The small crystal in Evan\'s hands was a rich green color with a slight blue tint. Evan looked at the crystal through the sun.

"It\'s really beautiful, huh?" Suddenly the sun was obscured by dark clouds, and it started pouring rain. The crystal stopped shining as beautifully as before. The rain made everything around it look sullen and dreary.

"Eh, okay, time to head back." Mumbled Evan as he headed towards the village, or rather what was left of it.

The village had been destroyed because of Evan\'s battle with a monster and a crocodile. Monsters were known as the greatest enemies of humanity. But, the monster killed about a third of all the inhabitants, while Evan killed the rest. They just happened to get hit by him, and the recent explosion left no one with a chance to survive.

The saddest part was that most of the inhabitants died simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. In order to heal, the monster killed and ate about 20 residents, less than a tenth of the entire population of this village. The rest died by coincidence.

Step. Step. Step.

Evan walked slowly among the burned and destroyed houses. All that was left of them was rubble and embers. At that moment, Evan had no feelings about what he had done. He was well aware that innocent people had died because of him, and he could have saved them if he wanted to. But he didn\'t care about things like that.

<Hmm, I need to do some experiments with "Gust" for that I need quite a few people, I think I can get everything I need at Inlas. What? Did someone manage to survive?>

Evan thought, looking at the black-haired girl. She was the only one who had managed to survive this terrible disaster.

The girl was on her knees crying. In an instant, her world was destroyed, and all that was left was ashes and destruction.

When Evan approached her, she looked at him with her blue eyes and whispered softly: "Help... me..."

She was broken, she had no strength left.

Evan looked at her and said quietly: "Do you realize that it was because of me that this village was destroyed? The monster came here because of me, and I killed most of the villagers?"

The girl did not know what to answer. She only mumbled like some madman, "It\'s you... it\'s your fault... you killed them... you..."

Evan\'s "Warp" spun, and darkness enveloped his palm. He was going to kill this girl she had no chance of surviving anyway. This area was filled with monsters, the girl would just get eaten.

Evan\'s palm slowly moved down to the girl\'s neck, and at that moment, her eyes lost their blue color. They became black and empty like the abyss itself.

The girl stopped crying and said in a strange voice: "No, it\'s not you, it\'s not your fault, it\'s this world\'s fault."

Tremble.

Suddenly a terrifying aura began to emanate from the girl.. It was the first time Evan had ever felt fear in this world.
