A Certain Hero Candidate POV
"You Higiro Nagami have been chosen by the holy ones to possess the sins of the demon as weapons against them."
"Yes father." A young boy about age 16 replied while on his knees.
"Please just refer to me as pope Shaman. Leave father for the unworthy peasants who come here on the gods holy ground the seek forgiveness. But you are speacial my boy, with the holy stigma of bonds and harmony, you could bind seeds to your stigma and get rid of the vile existence, the demons."
"Now rise my boy and go get washed in the holy water And let the blessing begin!" The pope expressed out loud two nuns approached me along with a bishop carrying a small glass of wine.
....
After drinking the wine and bathing in holy water I was placed on a stone table as I laid bare the pope and his bishop entered.
Unrapping four glowing stones each of a different colour, red black blue and purple.
Each colour has a specific meaning Nagami:
Red is Superbia (The sin of false hope, dark light the sin that governs supremacy, the sin that wants to rule over all).
Black is Acedia (the sin of sloth, laziness, eternal rest or true death or false peace).
Blue is Ira (The sin of destruction division false unity distrust the ultimate sin for calamity.)
Purple is Luxuria (The sin of false love, dark birth and unlimited respawn. The ultimate sin for lust).
"Usually these sins oppose the other, because superbia want complete control it despises Acedia the sin of sloth and lazy who don't like to be ruled and hates to work. Then Acedia want eternal rest and would go to any lenghts to achieve such to which it causes true death, it is opposed by Luxuria the sin of false birth to which brings back life in a non ending cycle, then there is If a the sin of destruction and calamity that opposes all the sins listed above but is also close in meaning to Acedia."
"But Pope Shaman in the holy text it says there are seven of these sins what happened to the other three."
I asked still laying flat on my back bare.
"Ah so you have done your studies there are three sins that have been sealed in purgatory and without one of the four sins it is impossible to break the seal on the others.
GULA (the sin of greed and false nourishment the ultimate sin of consumption).
Invidia (The sin of false blessing also known as the sin of Curses and Hexes. The ultimate sin of witchcraft).
Avarithia (The sin of false bonds the sin of domination and leadership. The ultimate sin of Ownership)."
The pope spoke putting the four coloured stones across my chest the were so small the size of peas.
"So basically what the pope is saying Higiro each sin or false divinity has a specific trait that separates them." The bishop intervened.
"Superbia rules everything and is hated by Avarithia who Owns everything and also Acedia who brings death to everything.who intern is hated by Gula and Luxuria because gula wants to consume everything but Acedia bring death to them. And Luxuria brings life to everything and is also hated by Acedia who wants peace so he bring death to the spawns. Then there is Ira who brings destruction and calamity to everything and it's hates Acedia because Acedia brings death to the things it want to destroy. That leaves Invidia who curses everything and such she has no real issue with the other sins so it developed envy and such it's called the sin of witch craft and envy."
"Ah I understand now."
"Come bishop let's start the Ritual."
The bishop walk to my head and used his index and middle finger from both hands to hold an opposite side of my head with each hand. The pope held my ankles with each hand.
They began to chant some words that I couldn't hear but it was obvious given the movement of the Bishops lips. The four sin pebbles on my chest began to glow even brighter and I couldn't move an inch I was frozen. The stones got hot almost as if it was trying to melt into my flesh.
I laid back and endured the pain unable to move as the pebble sunk and disappeared into my chest. My hero stigma of bonds and harmony activated and binded the sins to my body.
.....
"You may return home now Mr. Nagami. Please try not to use your powers until ten days time. During that time you may stay home and rest or even go to school."
I exited the church feeling normal except for the lingering feeling like the stones were still warm in my chest.
"Taxi!! A cab pulled up to my feet and I got in and drove home."
-Meet this hero-
"My name is Higiro Nagami. It may be hard to pronounce so here is a break down.
HE JI RO(HIGIRO)
NA GA MI."
"I Am 17 years old and you might already know am a male. I am a college student and during my first year of college. I was scouted by the church in the centre of the city because of my ability to see spirits of the dead and there I was told I was born with an hero stigma."
"At first the church used me as an Exorcist the put down rouge dark spirits and spirit hunters from purgatory. It was then my stigma awoken to it's potential and I was now a prize to the church, yesterday after college I was called in by the church to aid in a ritual they entrusted four of the great demonic sins to me and also the mission of ending the demon race for good."
... Back to Hisoka and his current challenge at hand.
Hisoka's POV
I used mana drain on all the knights at the entrance of the castle thanks to my evolved stealth skill I could now touch people without worrying if my stealth will deactivate, the catch I had to do what I had to before ten minutes time or it will automatically deactivate with a one minute cool down period.
...
"Hey where is he?!"
Some knights ran past me.
I turned the corner trying to find the stairway to the second floor and I was greeted by a giant room filled with knights and mages. There was about 25 knights and 15 mages.
I stepped into the room and out of nowhere the entire room was engulfed in flour and with my stealth on I stood out like a sore thumb.
