King of succubus

Chapter 412  I’m Anidas, the seven deadly sins' ruler.

"Thumb?" Darka asks confusedly without leaving his eyes on the enemy before him.

"Um, he's one of the founding members of the order, also one of the most powerful." She says with incredulous and agitated eyes.

But upon hearing her explanations, it was not only Darka who was confused; even the man in front of her had suspicious eyes as if he doubted Reha's intellect.

"Miss Reha, this man's nickname is not Thumb but Index," Darka responds nonchalantly.

But Reha shook her head again. "I had met him millennia ago; this man was the same as the one I had met." She refutes Darka's words.

The latter became uncertain of this information by seeing the conviction in Reha's eyes. 'As far as I can remember, Thumb was a woman. Would she have lost her rank?' He could not help but whisper these words with pessimistic.

But against all odds, the man responds with a mocking smile. "I'm not Thumb, but Index."

"Huh!?" Reha's eyes widened when he heard the presentation of the man who agreed with Darka.

He then didn't give any more explanations, nor did he take into consideration Reha's shocking expression. "Finally, no time for presentations. Let's rather talk about the reason for my presence."

"I have nothing to listen to from bastards who dare to attack me!" Reha retorts immediately as soon as Index finishes his sentence.

'Strange to see her lose cold blood; is it even natural?' Greed, despite being focused on Index, also paid attention to the strange excitement, which was beginning to have warm blood.

But the latter always had his vicious smile on his lips. "You're lying, fairy Reha. Your words are lies."

Reha frowns as strange wrath manifests itself in her heart.

Index then continued. He reaches out to Reha with a soft smile on his lips. "In the war, he always has a winner and a loser." He says with incomparable seriousness in his eyes.

"..."

'What exactly is his problem? He talks about such obvious things with so much seriousness, as if he were talking about a celestial revelation. Is this guy doing well, at least?' Reha had confused eyes when she heard Index's statements.

But the latter did not seem to realize Reha's thoughts. "You must learn something more important than you probably didn't know yet. To dodge any regrets... It is vital to choose the winners' camps. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about...-

Unable to bear his nonsense, Reha interrupts him. "Stop saying things that even magical beasts know the senses. What do you want exactly!?" She retorted in an angry voice.

But seeing Index's confused expression, she frowns. 'He seriously thought he was giving a wisdom class!? Seriously, he really misses a screw in his brain.' An ironic smile but fierce appeared on her lips when she realized this.

But she was still suspicious of the man in front of her.

At the same time, Darka, who had not acted until now, Shawn trouble in his eyes. "Miss Reha, don't answer his words." His expression was black-anchored as he requested Reha.

'I don't know what he's preparing, but it's not a good thing. His powers are strange; I can't grasp the essence.' Darka murmured with dark eyes.

But Always calm, Index continues without the slightest reluctance. " Life is precious; you will realize this once you face death."

"..." Reha grinds her teeth, trying to follow Darka's advice.

"I, having experienced fierce battles, know what I'm talking about. You will see your life pass before your eyes when you face the same life-or-death situation."

"..."

"But hey, I know you're too ignorant to know. It's...-

Finally, Reha succumbed to her wrath! "Stop annoying us with your kid's proverbs!" She draws her blade and teleports to Index, which was always nonchalant.

He did not try to avoid Reha's attack nor take other measures against her.

Seeing his arrogance, Reha throws her blade toward his neck!

But Darka's expression has become crumpled, simultaneously guessing his intentions.

"Stop!" He shrieks and tries to prevent Reha from reaching the man with mysterious powers.

But before he faces anything, Reha's blade neatly beheads Index's head!

"..."

flow out of his body.

But she found nothing strange with her rage nor the disconcerting "What?" Reha asks when she sees Darka silent.

She still had strange anger in her eyes as she watched Index's blood flow out of his body.

But she found nothing strange with her rage nor the disconcerting ease with which she had just killed a high-tier transcendent. She then swings her blade, spraying the Index’s blood she had just 'killed' on the ground.

But the next moment, his visual field turned red when his eyes suddenly turned red garnets.

"Miss Reha, get away from this--

"Don't tell me what to do!" She scolded Darka before he finished his sentence.

"??"

'What a vicious and unworthy trick of a fighter.' Darka murmured as he watched Index's body turn into blood-red smoke.

The next moment, he appeared behind Reha with a vicious smile on his lips.

But even though the latter noticed his presence, she didn't try to attack him, but still had the same rage toward Darka.

Index went towards Reha and made a small cut on her hand without the latter acts. Whatever, this inaction on her part was not crucial for Darka.

The most alarming for him was seeing the same notch on Index’s hand.

Realizing that Darka became aware of the situation, a sneaky smile appeared on his lips as he delighted in the confusion of it while licking his lips.

He then looked at the latter, who always had a blank expression. "You understood what was happening from the beginning. But you didn't intervene to stop me; can I know why?"

Instead of answering his question out loud, Darka used telepathy to answer it. *She has become your puppet since she responded to your first provocation.*

"Ho? So you knew it, huh? Finally, it doesn't matter. Since the beginning, my goal was not you but her."

*How did you master an arcane without being at the supreme rank?

*

"...Haha, it's interesting. VERY Interesting; you are the first person to have been able to resist my spiritual attack. But it's not for long. I have a gift for you, a gift that, I'm sure, will make you drool with ENVY." Just as he finished this sentence, a portal appeared behind him, and a man appeared outside the portal; he wasn't human nor an ordinary demon.

He had long red and smooth hair as if it belonged to a woman—a long red horn on the forehead and blood-red eyes.

But seeing his scale-covered skin and giant draconian wings, Darka forgot to breathe. 'What is...!' For the first time, he showed hysteria in his ruby-red eyes when he met the stern look of the man before him.

"M-Monarch Askald!?" He unconsciously pronounces this name by addressing the man.

But the latter, like the current Reha, was like a golem who had no emotions in his empty eyes.

Index's smile became macabre when he saw the agitation of Darka, who had already warned himself!

'It's not his real body, but a clone. But despite everything, what does his clone do with them?! Was it him that my lord's guest was talking about?' All the neurons in his brain were overheating as he tried to find explanations for the sudden appearance of one of his lord's three strongest subordinates in front of him.

But just as he came back to him, he realized that Reha and Askald no longer blew away alongside Index but above and behind him!

"Let the show begin!" Index laughs joyfully and sits on a chair with a beautiful smile.

Seeing the two simultaneously attack him, Darka didn't care about Reha; he interposed his blade between Askald's punch and his face.

-BAMM!!!

When Askald's blow landed on his blade, the impact force sent him to waltz twenty meters back.

'Ugh! What a monstrous force, even for a clone!' He had a tingling in his spine when he saw the monstrous force of the Askald clone.

Simultaneously, white brambles wrap around his legs and take him backhand by immobilizing him!

But despite Reha’s tenacity, Darka ignores her!

Aware of the dangerous existence that could threaten his life and Reha's link with Index, he could not care for her.

His body turns into a black fog and flies like a wandering ghost who wants to escape from the gates of hell.

But instantly, Askald caught him up despite his perseverance and breathtaking speed!

The latter manifests a mana spear in his left hand and 'softly' smiles at Darka.

-Swooshhh!

A ferocious draft accompanied his spear when he whistled toward Darka!

The latter was intangible, but despite this factor, Askald's spear could reach him by nailing him to the ground!

When Darka took his tangible form, he had a big hole in the middle of his chest, damage caused by Askald's attack.

But the hole cured instantly, even his black jacket under his armor, and the armor had regenerated in a blink!

'It's strange; the strength of this clone is weaker than expected. Plus, if I forget the case of Miss Reha that I had already anticipated, this guy does not seem aware that the current Askald is a clone. But I have to learn more before I fight this boring battle, which has nothing to do with a duel.' He always had clear eyes, as if he were insensitive to pain.

He rises from the ground with explosive breath and looks at Index with dark eyes.

The latter was casually sitting in his chair like a spectator admiring the action film that played VR(augmented reality) before him.

His sneaky smile, which had never left his lips, became more sadistic when he saw the darkness glow in Darka's eyes.

He indexes Darka coldly and says: "You will soon be added to my collection, dear Mr. the Knight with a giant sword."

"Tsk, it's disappointing to see you insulting chivalry so much." His monotonous voice sounds for the first time.

-!!

Index's smile became cynical when he saw Darka respond to his provocations. 'I seized this bastard up!' He screams in his mind!

At the same time, he gets up from his chair and walks toward Darka.

His two bodyguards had also stopped attacking Darka as if they had just received an order not dictated by Index.

“Shit!” Darka shrieks as if he has just realized his mistake.

He became stunned, realizing he could not move after responding to Index. His eyes progressively become blank like Index’s two puppets.

Now affected by Index’s mysterious power, he could see a golden balance above Index's head as the latter’s smile became jubilant.

"You sinned taking my men; you committed a serious crime by daring to point your sword at the supreme judge. As such, my duty is to dictate your verdict." As he quoted Darka's so-called sins, the balance, a crystallization of his transcendent aura, becomes black and leans towards the left side.

"Let me enlighten this empty box that serves as your brain, dear Mr. Knight." He pats Darka's shoulder without Darka being able to move or slay him all at once now that he is within reach of his blade.

"You're wrong in assuming that I mastered an arcane; my skill has nothing to do with an arcane, even if it is not weaker than this one. What you have seen now is only a fragment of my power.

-But before that, let me introduce myself; I’m Anidas, the seven deadly sins' ruler, also nicknamed Index!

-Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Wrath, and Pride; I'm the only one to rule these seven deadly sins. To commit one of these sins before me is to put you at my mercy. This good little chap with his red horn was the proudest, believing he was above anyone. This girl, as you saw her, was wrath with me just because I was wasting her time.

-As for you, Sir, kukukh~, your pride in being an exemplary knight has generated your anger against me, which has turned into wrath because you see me fighting unfairly against you instead of following the rules of an exemplary duel.

-Now, what more can we say except that: You have lost the game, Mr. Knight, with complete armor!
