Chapter 586.1: Fight With Eternal (part 1)

At the very top of the mountain, there was a marble arena covered with moss and other vegetation making it hard to notice at the first glance - what wasn't hard to notice was the monument right behind the arena - a massive opaque builder that looked so out of place as if it didn't belong into that world at all - a half-digital, half material structure that was already riddled with crevices and the spiderweb-like cracks that let out an enormous amount of red and black light all while giving off horrifyingly overwhelming energy.

"...is this it...?"

Roan felt Mary clinging to him in distress and so he turned to the light-brown-haired priestess and asked pointing at the crumbling builder.

"The seal of the Eternal - so that how it looks while it isn't inside of the blue undead..."

Caramel didn't respond to the prince's words, far too occupied with gazing at the terrifying magnificence of the structure that hosted the most difficult creature that the game had to offer.

"Inside of the blue undead? Why is that supposed to mean?"

The snow-white undead, Claymore furrowed their brows and glared at her with confusion, but they didn't get the response out of her either.

"The priestess is talking about her visions, the Lust family had been informed about it but didn't seem too interested."

The one who did answer though was the tanned, tall, and muscular man with wild black hair that had an orange tint to them, Arion.

"If the future could actually be predicted from a vision there would be a skill that would allow one to do that - and since there is not then such ability doesn't exist. Isn't that what we of the Lust family had answered to this ridiculous claim?"

Still, the snow-white undead didn't get flustered and instead merely scoffed and waved their hand dismissively.

"Then, shell we deal the preemptive strike? The seal is at one percent - it literally will fall at any moment, why should we wait for Eternal to get out on its own?"

The white-haired avatar of wrath, Corvus, asked while clenching his fists as his body started shining with vibrant red light.

"Agreed - wasting such an opportunity would be rather stupid on our part."

The blond prince, Roan, nodded to that and his body began shining with an intense yellow glow while Mary let go of his hand and stepped away to not be a bother.

"True - unbeatable or not, it still should get shocked, maybe even stunned, if it will be greeted by the combined powers of six out of seven avatars of sin."

The tired-looking but shockingly lively avatar of sloth, Severin, stretched his neck and reached out his hand as the brilliant light-blue shine he emitted almost blinded the others around him.

"Sounds good enough from me."

The brown-haired greened-eyed avatar of envy, Mason, nodded his head as he focused on the seal and became enveloped in a radiant green light.

"If Sevie says so, I don't mind."

The avatar of lust, Claymore smiled cutely as their snow-white body released a dazzling blue gleam.

"You all should pay more attention to the priestess's words - do you think that the seal, even weakened as such would fall to our power when it holds down the strongest creature in existence?"

But there was someone who didn't share the initial enthusiasm of the others - and that was surprisingly enough the avatar of gluttony, Arion, standing by the girl's side while crossing his arms.

"No - they are right to prepare - we are all here and that means that the seal will not hold on much longer - you should also get ready if you don't want to die and lose on our deal."

The light-brown-haired priestess of the church of the system's faith, Caramel, shook her head and touched the man's forearm, warning him in a cautious voice.

"...I see..."

"..."

The avatar of gluttony furrowed his brows and glanced back at the nervous brown-haired heroine - who as soon as she noticed him, flipped him a finger in a very rude gesture that should not be used in public - and then his body lighted up with the luminous orange light.

"...you didn't deny that we won't be able to break the seal on our own even if we try, though..."

Arion ended up glancing back at Carmel and muttered, but closed his mouth the moment he saw the nervous expression that the priestess was making while staring at the crystal boulder.

"It's happening...!"

Caramel whispered with trembling lips and...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

*CHOMP*

"!!!!!!"

The odd, unnatural crystal exploded with the power of the gigantic bomb, clearing out the top of the mountain from a great part of the loose rocks and vegetation, but interestingly enough leaving the marble arena intact - now looking spotless as if it was created from some completely different materials than everything else on the mountain that got destroyed.

"IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT?!"

Through the dust settling down and the echo of the explosion, the future king called out in shock while making sure that the heroine was alive and safe behind him.

*gulp*

"Of course, you are all good - I devoured the shockwave that would have hurt you all."

The slightly annoyed voice of Arion answered him after the avatar of gluttony had swallowed whatever happened to appear in his mouth.

*WHOOOOOSH*

Suddenly the huge gust of wind chased away the dust raised by the explosion - revealing for the fighters the figure of their opponent.

A monster - although peculiarly humanoid-shaped one.

The monster was surrounded by such an immense aura of hate, violence, and death, that it simply couldn't have been a creature from that world.

"...you really are going along with this plan...? I would rather see this world get destroyed than allow scum like you to rule it...!

The monstrosity that looked as if it was made completely out of the red and black smoke which was constantly swirling around, ceaselessly contracting and expanding but somehow staying in a clearly humanoid shape let out a growl, moving its featureless head as if it was looking at each and every person that gathered there.

"You...! You puny humans have completed almost all the secret quests?!"

Although its first words were rather calm, at the sight of the snow-white undead the creature spread its arms and roared, clearly recognizing that it was in danger.

"No! I will just kill you all before Zombie will get here - I will not allow him to destroy everything AGAIN!"

The beast roared and...!

*WHAM*

The white-haired Corvus launched at it and unleashed a devastating punch right on the creature's chin!

*WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM*

A single hit turned into a combo and each consecutive punch and kick was getting stronger than the ones preceding it.

"That's it?"

"!!!"

But even after receiving the onslaught of attack that would eviscerate most of the creatures of the world, the only response that Eternal has voiced were the words of disappointment.

"Just die, you annoying speck of dust."

*RIIIIIP*

*CHOMP*

The red and black smoke monster shrugged and waved its hand dismissively, tearing through Corvus's arm as if it was mist - but before Eternal's hand reached the avatar of wrath's torso, the sound of the jaws biting down on the thin air resounded and the white-haired man disappeared just to reappear right by the avatar of gluttony.

*gulp*

'Don't stand there like that! Do something too!"

Arion swallowed the unidentifiable mass that appeared in his mouth after he devoured the space between himself and Corvus and shouted at the other avatars of sin, prompting them to action.

"How about...?!"

"How about I show you what you have to deal with before you decide to make your death the most excruciating one?"

Claymore and Mason were about to use their skills but got surprised by the calm words that came out of Eternal's featureless head.

Before anyone could react, the monster smoke light body lighted up and...

The window with the stats of the monster in front of them suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes and made them stop in place, for the first time making them realize what were they truly trying to face.

"Kneel down and reject the thoughts of ever opposing me and I will lead this world to the better future, a future that will be according to my creator's will."

Eternal declared sounding overwhelmingly proud and fearsome.

"Did this change anything? Bitch I face titan-class monsters every single day - just shut up and die!"

"!!!!!!!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The avatar of sloth rolled his eyes and unleashed the brilliant beam of light that ripped the space apart and crushed against the red and black monster's torso, pushing it back while annihilating everything unfortunate enough to get in its wake!
