"You came here to close the rift, but it seems your plan has failed."
That was right, the heroes came over to close up the dimensional rift to prevent more high-ranked demons from coming through.
However, the Seven Deadly Sins got word of this and left their positions on the front lines of the war, speedily returning to the dark continent to prevent this.
The end result was obvious; a beat down.
A serious beat down.
The heroes could barely cast any magic or skills, they were that exhausted.
Even Second who had the most energy reserves only had enough energy left to activate the sealing magic required to close the rift.
The rift looked like an elliptical tear in space and was continuously expanding ever so slightly.
The amount of magic power that poured out of the rift constantly was enough for even the seven heroes who were among the strongest fighting force in Aidos to feel chills down their spines just by being there.
The seven deadly sins stood with backs facing it, staring at the pitiful appearance of the heroes who failed to defeat them.
**HUMMMM!!!
At that point, the rift expanded a little more and a demon came out, another peak rank demon casually took his first step into the world of Aidos.
Pride looked at the new demon and asked,
"Name and rank?"
"Kethul, Lesser Colonel."
"Ohh, your station is southeast, now scurry along."
She then turned around as the demon began to move, that was why she was late to notice it. The other members of the seven deadly sins paid the demon no attention in the first place so they did not even realize it.
The demon unsheathed his sword and stabbed Pride in the back, literally.
She let her guard down because she never expected the demon to literally backstab her.
Even if he did, she was confident in her defenses, however, the demon was prepared, no, the 'demons' were prepared.
Nearly ten high-ranked demons rushed out of the rift instantly and attacked the seven deadly sins.
"You bastards!!"
Pride was enraged, wrath fed on that rage and boosted his strength to attack them.
Greed sapped all their physical strengths, Gluttony devoured all their magic, Envy negated their known skills, Lust drained their stats and Sloth blocked their attacks.
Another fierce battle broke out, however, it was over quickly.
The seven deadly sins were demons who were the incarnations of the seven mortal sins.
They were sovereign realm existences with levels over 700. Defeating a group of high-ranked demons was not so difficult for them.
Killing them, was even easier.
And that was exactly what their opponent aimed for.
**BOOMMM
The moment they killed a demon, its body exploded into a poisonous cloud, poisoning the seven deadly sins that were closest to the demon.
Normal poisons could not work on them and their opponent knew that, that was why they used an abnormal poison.
Two giant glowing red eyes appeared from the other side of the rift, they were just a projection, however, it was enough for the one projecting to achieve what they wanted.
"Soul Poison."
A deep voice resounded, a voice that each one of the seven deadly sins recognized.
Wrath bellowed in rage, he tried to force the poison out of his body. However, the poison was one that affected the soul directly, the root of one's existence.
The seven of them dropped to the ground, if it was one demon that died, then they could have resisted it.
However, all ten were linked together, the death of one, meant the death of the other 9, all of which had soul poison stuffed in their bodies.
Looking at the weakened seven deadly sins, Second made a decision. Sealing the rift was impossible, the existence on the other side would not let them, however, he could seal away the seven deadly sins.
He needed a conduit for the seal, but they had nothing to use, nothing except their weapons. He activated the sealing magic.
Multiple Tier 6 magic circles spread out of the ground, Pride realized what he was about to do and tried to stop him but failed.
The magic was a pre-casted magic, all he had to do was activate it at the time he wished, he sealed the seven deadly sins into the weapons they wielded.
The seal was completed easily because the seven deadly sins were unable to resist, they were already preoccupied trying to prevent themselves from dying to the soul poison.
The moment he sealed them, he dropped onto the ground, he was still wary of the existence on the other side of the rift but he was not scared.
He knew that being could not come over, not at that time, they were far too strong to come over through the small rift.
They heard a deep voice at that time.
"Wise decision."
Right before he lost consciousness, he used the last of his energy to activate his appraisal, to appraise the being behind the rift.
He succeeded, but till the day he died, he wished he never did.
He wished he had lost consciousness and remained ignorant of that existence, not just Second but the rest of the seven heroes too, they all did.
They didn't know if it was because it was just a projection, but they could only see a few lines from that being's status board. However, those lines were all they needed to know to figure out this being's identity.
