Iustus saw how Chastity took in a big breath of her, what was he going to do? Surely it would be flashy this time around, neither the sin or virtue held any weapon, it was going to be a clash of their powers for certain.
"Blasphemy against God!" distinctively yelled Chastity, Iustus immediately turned his attention to him and Lust somewhat recoiled back.
"I will not look with approval on anything that is vile..." he just kept on reciting something, as he started making his way toward Lust.
"Silence you lunatic!" shouted Lust as skillfully coiled his body around to avoid a blow as the virtue just zipped through the air.
Iustus felt the sin bringing out his sinful power but rather than use it to attack, he kept it thightely compressed around his body.
His way of attacking was, to Iustus, absolutely disgusting, he used his many 'tentacles' to shoot his wondrous milky liquid at the virtue and this substance was actually acidic beyond measure.
The virtue weaved through the attacks without any look of disgust on his face, the way he did so was quite special too, it didn't look like he was dodging at all but rather just avoiding stepping on the puddles while just happening to not get hit.
"...But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful, and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us, from all wickedness..."
With these few words, he open-hand striked the sins long body and sending him flying into the ceiling.
"...Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on God out of a pure heart..."
Iustus could hear Lust screaming from beyond the dust cloud that had been risen from the impact between his body and the ceiling.
"Keep. Silent!" he said as he started clapping his numerous hands in unison, the sound slowly shifting from a simple clapping to the sound of an instrument, it was a cello but Iustus had no idea what even basic instruments sounded like, so he had no clue what was happening.
Iustus felt his mind being drowned in dirty thoughts at the sound of the instrument, slowly ushering him to sleep.
"...So I say, walk by God, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh..." Chastity's voice cut through the instrumental waves like a knife through butter as he kept on reciting his preaching.
It seemed as though his aura was growing denser the more he kept on reciting but it was faint enough that Iustus wasn't sure of it himself.
Seeing his attack utterly fail to do anything against the virtue, it was clear for lust to see what was happening.
Without leeching off many corrupted minds and without his army of offsprings, he couldn't fight equally against his opposing virtue.
So instead of wasting his time against an enemy he couldn't win against, Lust crawled along the ceiling and shot his warm, elixir of life, at Iustus instead, the boy reeked of virtue too and he was much weaker, so weak that he couldn't bring out any of his powers in Lust's dreamland!
Chastity blocked the shots, deflecting the slimy liquid away without even touching it.
"Oi, You're faster than I remember! What happened?"
"Lubricity causes memory loss it seems" simply remarked the virtue before vanishing from his spot, at least from the young hero's point of view, Lust followed the movements and managed to bend his body out of the way before getting hit.
"...The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace..." recited Chastity as he and Lust just stood at a standstill for a few moments.
"Hey, I know we have some disagreements, you and me-" spoke the catterpillar sin.
"That would be an understatement" replied the virtue.
"-But, your god is all about forgiveness right? There is no need for you to act in person at all"
"That is true, God controls everything and thus none will be forgotten and after everything is done to be forgiven, any can access to heaven, though I would recommend confessing your sins while you are still living, for what is neccessary to atone for one sins after death is quite demanding" Chastity surprisingly agreed with Lust on that point.
'When did it go from a fight to the death to a debate?' wondered Iustus and he saw Lust looking at him at his thought.
"How-e-ver, while God will forgive you in the end.."
"I won't" declared the virtue with a hardly describable smile on his face, as if he had just did something that no one else had noticed, Iustus wasn't sure.
"Also, you will live indefinitely in your dreamland, you won't die and be sent anywhere, so don't give me that utter nonsense and raise your fists, fight for your life even if you won't die anyways!"
"What's the point?! You're gonna win anyways! I don't have my shit with me and even when I had it, I managed to lose! You're the one giving me bullshit, I am pointing at your hypocrisy with all of my hands, hands with which, I commited many acts of lust!"
"..."
"..."
"Alright then" uttered Chastity as the fight carried on, they fought as Lust backed off and soon, they were out of Iustus's sight.
He tried to get up to follow them but felt something metallic and cold grab him by his shoulders and dragged him back to reality.
Awakening in his usual spot, Iustus checked if he wasn't dreaming still and allowed himself to sigh in relief once he determined he was actually awake.
Somehow, despite sleeping like a log, Iustus felt incredibly tired, forced to pay attention to every details and listen to the former Lust and Chastity, the sin had a bizarre way of speaking and the virtue wasn't much better, his recitings were hard to follow as he didn't see it fit to link them to one another.
Iustus also wondered what these metallic hands were about, he was certain to have felt them and he doubted it had anything to do with either Lust or Chastity.
