A hot flame came into my right hand then solidified and formed a sword. Soul Sword, Muspel. First Form, Blaze!
A strong chill came to my left hand and formed ice that turned into a sword. Soul Sword, Nifl. First Form, Ice!
The two opposing forces, heat and cold, were both currently in my two hands.
I who currently shouldn't be able to evoke the power of Soul Weapon to the fullest but thanks to the pill I ate, I was able to maximize this Soul Weapon.
[Return To That Day:

A few seconds later, Dark Wolf's Slime attack headed towards my head, the previous me might be dead but the current me was different.

With this kind of status, it's easy for me to kill this thing and it doesn't even need 5 minutes, 1 minute is enough if my body is fully restored.
Although it restores my physique to the old days, but it seems that fatigue and wounds are not healed. Well, just restoring 20% of my physique at the end of my life was more than enough.
"Nifl!"
"Ready, my new master!"
I shouted the name of Soul Weapon Ice, Nifl replied and froze herself to deflect Slime Dark Wolf's attack. Due to the strong pressure, Soul Weapon Ice was knocked away.
But my attack wasn't over yet, so I called out the name of Soul Weapon Fire.
"Muspel!"
"I know!"
I used my other hand to slash at Slime Dark Wolf's eyes. But feeling a little traumatized by Signe's attack, Slime Dark Wolf immediately retreated.
(It seems like he was afraid of an eye attack, as expected of a bar-bar person. Even after death it still gives fear. I thank you, Signe)
With the gap created by the monster's retreat, I used the fire and ice on my legs that exploded to propel me quickly towards the Slime Dark Wolf.
The Slime Dark Wolf tried to attack me as I quickly approached.
Before the monster's attack approached, I used the 'Kai' technique of 20% to the feet then I pushed my feet into the air to avoid the monster's attack.
Despite successfully dodging the first attack, the second tail attack attacked me from the side. I then used 40% to my remaining hand to backhand the tail.
(Now!)
I then drew the Soul Weapon Fire sword, using the remaining 40% into this attack!
"This is for Signe!"
I launched an unusually hot fire attack from Muspel's soul weapon into the monster's eyes.
"Graugghhh!!!"
The monster's face was instantly burned by mine and Muspel's flames. The monster screamed in pain and retreated and thrashed around but because the cave was small, the whole place shook.
If the monster was buried in this cave, I wouldn't have to do anything but I wasn't satisfied.
(No, I'm not satisfied yet.)
Then I started to raise Muspel's sword and used all the Mana I had into Muspel, the fire that was hot before became extremely hot. The true form of the First Form, Blaze!
"This is for my squad members...."
Then I thrust Muspel into Slime Dark Wolf's abdomen, that way he would burn and die agonizingly.
"Graugghhh!!!"
It took a few minutes for the sound of the monster's screams to disappear into ashes.
[You've Successfully Killed an Irregular Monster That Gained the Blessing of the Vice Of Deadly Sins Gluttony!]
[You Receive 5000 Villain Points!]
"What?"
I was surprised by the contents of the notification I received from the system, not with the points I got but about the Vice Of Deadly Sins.
(So the monster is the creation of that crazy bastard! No wonder it has the ability to mimic monsters that are eaten)
I'm well acquainted with the Vice Of Deadly Sins, Gluttony. He is not only crazy but dangerous. Anyone other than The Evil One is considered prey even fellow Vice Of Deadly Sins.
But I didn't expect his creation to be the mastermind that traumatized me in my childhood.
(For now, the Vice Of Deadly Sins should not have fully mobilized, after all, only 3 members have been appointed at the moment. Wrath, Gluttony and Greed.)
Even so I must not let my guard down, it's possible that one day I'll meet a potential member or the Vice Of Deadly Sins itself, right now the most important thing is to be strong to fight against one of the Disasters that will appear in a few years.
Just as I started to calm down, my body suddenly became weak and weak.
"Has the effect worn off? What a pity..."
"Woah! Why did your fire affinity suddenly become weak?"
Suddenly, a small flame emerged from my body and began to speak in a loud, energized voice. That little flame's name was Muspel, the Soul that inhabited the Soul Weapon Fire.
"Instead of weakening, it's returning to the beginning."
"Back to the beginning? What does that mean?"
"Does that mean the high affinity earlier was the result of the pill the master ate earlier?"
Then an icicle appeared out of my body asking in a calm and gentle tone. The ice's name was Nifl, the Soul that inhabited the Soul Weapon Ice.
"Yes, as expected of Nifl, Nifl is very intelligent compared to that stupid older brother."
"What are you saying!"
Me and Muspel a little fight.
Despite meeting for the first time, we became very familiar quickly thanks to the help of the pill. With the increase of one's affinity with the elements, it was able to bring one closer to the elemental spirit or the elemental soul weapon.
Although it was only a short time, the relationship between me and Muspel with the help of the pill.
"But why did only big brother's affinity increase so much? Does the master hate me?"
With a sad voice, Nifl asked.
"A-ah that's not it, Nifl. It's just that there are some circumstances, I'll talk about them after I get home."
Then a faint light appeared from beyond the horizon.
"Looks like it's getting morning... Ah, bad..."
Suddenly my vision became very blurry, it seemed like I had completely used up my Mana in the fight just now.
"Sorry, Muspel, Nifl. It looks like I'm going to pass out, but don't worry, I've already told someone that if I haven't come out of the forest in a day, someone will be assigned to look for me... so have a good night."
"Wait! Haa...He's already sleeping..."
"Aha...master seems to be very tired."
The two looked at Zend in their own way, then Muspel began to speak.
"Hey, Nifl. Why did you choose Zend as our contractor?"
"Fufu...isn't it obviously the same as big brother's reason?"
"I see... it seems we feel the same way..."
"Yes, the master has a soul similar to 'He'."
...
In an unknown place, in a very ancient castle, there was a round table.
And there were three people sitting there with darkness covering their faces.
"What?"
Then one of the shadows that looked very thin looked surprised to make a sound.
"What's wrong with you? Are you starving again? Just so you know, I'll kill you if you dare to eat my things again."
A shadow in luxurious clothes like a high-class nobleman asked with some annoyance to the thin-looking shadow.
"My Familiar suddenly died."
"Familiar? Which familiar? You created too many unsightly familiars so I can't remember which one."
"How dare you insult my children!"
"Children? You only think of them as your hunger. When they grow up, you'll eat them again won't you, don't confuse your hunger with parental love."
"Y-you!"
"What? Want to fight?"
"Shut up, Gluttony, Greed."
A voice that felt terrifying. The two instantly fell silent at the words of the last person there.
"Which Familiar is dead?"
The voice began to ask Gluttony.
"A-ah, the Slime-type familiar that I put in the area adjacent to the Wolfled Family Territory."
"That family huh... Continue."
"It's just that, I sent that Slime with an Alpha monster, even if the Alpha monster dies, the Slime can eat it and become stronger. But from the latest information, Aamon Wolfled only killed the Alpha monster and left the border region after that."
"Hmm, there seems to be another strong person in that place."
"B-but don't worry, it won't interfere with our plan. No matter how powerful they are, when you intervene, everything will be fine!"
"...If you underestimate them too much, you'll die when you let your guard down..."
The man stood up and began to turn towards the exit.
"I will take care of the Western region for 5 years as planned. I want you two to take care of the members who will be coming soon and take care of the resurrection of 'The Evil One'...I'll be back in 5 years, if nothing goes according to plan...I'll remove your heads from your bodies...remember that..."
"U-u-u-understood! Wrath!"
"U-u-u-understood! Wrath!"
...
In the darkness, I saw many deaths of someone precious to me dozens, no, hundreds of times.
I thought that my heart wouldn't feel sad anymore at a breakup but it seems that human emotions must always exist deep down in one's heart.
Seeing someone die in front of my eyes again is already painful let alone someone who died protecting me.
In these three lives, I always tried my best but in the end there were always regrets, that's why I think in this fourth life, I at least want to do what I can without regrets.
Isn't that so, myself who doesn't know anything?
I saw myself in front of me, Zend Wolfled.
Although I split my soul into two, in the end one of my souls will definitely return to this place.
"What can we do, we can't go back anymore."
I then saw a light come to illuminate my other self.
"Looks like it's time for you to wake up. I leave the world and our desire for freedom to you. You must win this gamble, for this is our last chance."
This journey will be a bit long, but it will be an enigmatic journey either for you or for those who read our story but I believe that you will find the truth at the end.
"Be strong! Until you are able to kill a New God when this story ends! Fight! Myself!"
