With renewed vigor and confidence, it flapped its majestic purple-black wings, dashed towards the angels that tried to spear it.
Its transformations surprised the angels but it was nothing new compared to what other abilities demons had. The angels with spears coordinated with one another to try and encircle the mutt.
"Hmmm I'm not as fast as I used to be.. but it will suffice", the mutts form wasn't exactly the most aerodynamic, and it was more than enough to deal with the angels.
It pounced on a nearby angel, its middle head sunk its fangs into the angel, with its other 2 spewing flames to the side killing 2 more.
Ding! 503,738, sin points acquired!
The soul of the angels simply rushed back to the heavens while the system converted the remnant energy to sin points.
"Hmmm, is there a permanent way to kill these bird people? How annoying!", it wanted revenge for these lessor god to kill a distinguished god of Egypt!
Author: You were just smooching off Horus and Isis...
The distinguished god: I am a GOD!!!!
at the thought of it, a new transformation emerged.
It was small and unnoticeable to outsiders, but the mutt felt a dangerous power emit from its mouth.
"Arf?", the mutt tried to feel around its mouth with its tongue at the new intrusion of the mysterious source.
"Ow!", it brushed its tongue against the wall and roof of its mouth, but when it swept towards one of its canines, it cut its tongue!
"How sharp! Ouch!"
On the mutts tongue is an inch deep cut! How frightfully sharp! The most surprising thing was that the wound wasn't healing with its superb body's regenerative properties!
While it was distracted more angles swarmed it. The mutt let out black flames and several angles perished, but like an arrow out of water, a high rank angle cleaved the flames apart unharmed!
"Warning, an archangel class is heading your way!"
Blindsided, an angle with larger wings and halo than the standard foot solider angles stabbed its flaming sword into the left head of the hybrid beast! Intense pain coursed through its body.
"Analysis of weapon, a replica of the sword that once guarded eden. Beware of its flames!", the Thoth system said.
(In the bible god gave a cherub a flaming sword to guard paradise)
The mutt retaliated by spitting flames at the angel, but its armor seemed to be quite high tier as well and didn't even burn it at all!
"That was what made it immune to my flames!", how will it pierce the arch angel's armor!?
"Scanning of enemy equipment, complete! Holy armor blessed by a virtue class angle. Warning, escape now! You can not penetrate its defenses!"
The mutt: Dame you, pay to win players, you cant cheat with such op equipment!
Author: What about your necklace?
The hypocrite: Thats different!
In an act of desperation it frantically clawed and spit flames to no avail, as the armor brushed off all its attacks even with its new power up. A few seconds passed and the angel had plenty of time to lope off one of its heads the mutt let out a howl filled with pain with the loss of a head.
One distinguishing trait of demons were heartless and mostly cared about themselves, so there was no way any demon was going to help it. It could only rely on itself, as it and the angle plummeted to a deserted area. The angles thought the demon was done for and no demon went to help it, not that any of them are likely to defeat the archangel.
Author: Also cuz you were shamelessly scrap picking and leeching of the others...
It felt like it had lost the essential part of its body and the sudden loss the head no longer fed it essential senses and information. In a last-ditch attempt the demon mutt bit the angel knowing it was futile.
It thought it's other head would be next. It closed its eyes and prepared for its teeth to feel the metallic texture of the armor and to be repelled.
Clink!
"Eh?", the mutt heard the distinct puncture of the armer.
"Eh? It worked?", the mutt slowly opened each of its eyes slowly, only to see the archangels astonished figure.
The mutt felt a particular fang pierce through the angle with relative ease, puncturing its deepest part of its very being. The archangel lost its strength and plunged down with the mutts vice grip bite.
Just like that the angle died. Like really dead. Its body disintegrated into light, but the core, the soul of the angle, interestedly was skewered onto the fang.
The mutt instinctively swallowed the soul and it Immediately felt like it ate a satisfying meal.
"Ding proficiency in the sin of gluttony gained!"
Ding! Gained 108,756 sin points!
"Whoa! That gave me a hundred times more than usual!"
Examining its body it felt incomplete with it's missing head, but unlike a normal Cerberus it did not have three personalities it was one single entity but it still felt weird missing one head it's balanced with offset what's the missing weight of the head. A fleshy nub with scorch marks and burned flesh was prudent on its body
The fang eventually sunk back into its gums as if it never happened.
"Uhg, im suddenly so tired...", the fang must have had a cost alot of energy. Everything had a cost, but it had much more pressing matters with its wound.
"How do I close this wound?", holy flames and the unique purification powers of angles seeped into it like poison.
"Do i need to use my precious tears?", now that it was a dog it could no longer shed tears with healing powers. "I would prefer to not use it if possible..."
Subconsciously as if its body was responding to its suggestion, flesh started to churn and reconstruct its body. The wound started to visibly close up, like gum in your hair the flames refuse to be put out. It used the sin of pride to keep the holy flames at bay, but the flame was quite stubborn and attempts at regenerating were being obstructed by it.
In a stroke of luck, mutt coincidentally tried the other sins to see if it would help. Greed did nothing, but the sin of sloth actually accelerated the healing and snuffed out the flames more effectively than the other sins!
The strange sin of sloth was much gentler then the other sins and made the flames enter a slumber, they slowly flickered and fade away. This was great it found a way to heal itself without relying on the ever important life saving tears!
"Ding! Proficiency in the sin of sloth gained"
"Oh im getting quite sleepy...", in addition of of the fang consuming its powers, the sin of sloth had a side effect of making the user sleepy... The sin of sloth cloaked the mutt and it slowly closed its eyes and layed down...
While the mutt could no longer resist the temptation of rest, a small light that looked like a sun poked out of its body and sighed. The sun then transformed into a figure of a old man...
"This little rascal is too carless...", the figure waved its hand and debris buried the sleeping mutt to conceal its body.
"This little guy sure has lots of surprises, to think he would have the god killing fang of Fenir..."
"The sin power used by the demons are quite interesting... the sin of sloth can hid its presence to some degree but its not enough...", the old man pointed his finger and white mist was transferred to the mutt to strengthen the sin of sloth. The cloak of sin was even more dense with the help and the old man looked weary and his figure dimmed.
"Hopefully that snake wont notice...", the old man turned back into a blinking light and went back into the mutt.
Unknown to the sleeping beauty, the act of killing the archangel was not unnoticed. The big players of both sides were slightly alarmed. The throne angle blinked its eyes, but mostly looked expressionlessly. Mammon raised its eyebrows and the gold coin he was twirling around fell onto his pile of treasures. The big guys were intrigued...
