We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconsistency of character pronouns, particularly for the Entities (ex. The Greedy Predator). In Korean, pronouns are rarely used, making it challenging to ascertain a character's gender or identity until later narratives unfold. Given this is a guest-funded site, the time to backtrack is better used to keep other works' going. On a more important note, refrain from sharing this work on social media to ensure our survivability. Thank you for your cooperation!

Seora contemplated the sins that imprisoned Monique Ribery, the Healer at the core of this raid team. Pride seemed fitting, but Julian was an even better match. Considering Garcia’s desire for revenge after being defeated by Julian and Ali, if not wrath, then his was surely envy.

That left sloth and gluttony.

Seora knew little about Monique and Ali. However, she was certain of one thing: Ali was far from lazy. The Entity of Captain Ali Russo was the war goddess Athena of Greece, who was associated with justice and protection. How could someone who led a global mercenary group and personified those ideals be lazy? Yun Jaeheon, the branch manager for Asia, had little time to spare in Korea due to the group’s busy international operations.

Thus, it became evident that Monique Ribery was trapped in the sin of sloth. While everyone else focused on gluttony, Seora’s attention was solely on sloth.

Gazing at the gleaming deep blue crown before her, Seora smirked. “They say, ‘If you want to deceive your enemies perfectly, start by deceiving your allies.’ It’s not without reason.”

Clutching the crown tightly, Seora fired her gun. Bang! The crown shattered into dust, accompanied by the sound of breaking glass.

<Kiaaaaagh!>

【The crown of ‘Sloth’ has been destroyed. Awakened ‘Monique Ribery’ has been freed from ‘Path of Sin’.】Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Bingo. Seora swiftly leaped off the chaotic blue head. She had considered severing another head, but it proved challenging to withstand the relentless onslaught from the others.

Moreover, she was no longer alone; she didn’t need to shoulder all the responsibility.

“Seong Jarim! Destroy it!”

Seong Jarim’s scythe radiated a fiery golden light as the immense power of the one who had led a planet to destruction descended upon the dragon’s head. Scales split open, and blood spurted out in a gory display.

<You damn bastard! How dare you!>

【Activating skill ‘Spear of the Slaughterer’!】

【Drain the health of the enemy. Restores 50% of allies’ health.】

A surge of vitality coursed through the fatigued bodies of the Hunters, revitalizing them. Seong Jarim, fueled by even greater mana, unleashed another attack at the partially severed neck.

Splat, thud! The head, its eyes wide open, plummeted downward, accompanied by a crimson liquid resembling lava.

【The head of ‘Glutonny’ has been destroyed. Awakened ‘Ali Russo’ has been freed from ‘Path of Sin’.】

Upon witnessing the message that appeared alongside the falling head, Seora beamed with satisfaction. Everything had unfolded exactly as she had anticipated.

<You filthy vermins!>

Seora encapsulated the severed head within a cube and reached out to grab Seong Jarim’s hand as they descended. The dragon’s tail, capable of toppling stars from the sky, swooped toward them. However, they remained unfazed. They had witnessed that attack pattern far too many times.

“A clash between spear and shield. I wonder which side will prevail.”

Seora stuck out her tongue and swiftly swung the decapitated head, using it to block the incoming tail. A fierce crackling sound accompanied by a tingling shock passed through.

<Kiyaaaah! Aaaaah!>

“Oh, so it’s a draw?”

Both the already lifeless head and tail were now more than halfway crushed. Seora easily evaded the attacks, chuckling as she reached her hand toward the sky.

“Yun Seora!”

Like the main protagonist, Kang Sejun appeared and grabbed hold of Seora’s and Seong Jarim’s hands in the nick of time, ensuring a safe landing for all three of them.

“What were you thinking, doing something so dangerous!?”

Seora plugged her ears with her fingers, shielding herself from the barrage of nagging. “Well, thanks to that, we managed to free two people at once. But I refrained from severing the head because it seemed like I might actually die.”

“Wow, Miss Monique, your healing is incredible.”

“You think I’m an L-class Healer for no reason?”

“Did you mean to say ‘Zombie Nique’?”

“Shut up, Ali. And thanks, Headbang. You’ve given me the opportunity for revenge.” Monique’s expression of gratitude had its own unique flair. Seora nodded in acknowledgment. “Now that I’m joining the battle, don’t worry and give it your all. Any wounds? I’ll take care of them. If anyone is within my reach, I guarantee they won’t die.”

‘Wow, that’s so cool.’

Seora’s heart involuntarily raced at Monique’s cocky stance.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“Sure. Trust me and go for it.”

With Garcia being someone who anyone could rescue, Seora decided to focus her attention solely on the green-headed one. She was determined to give that wicked head, who had the audacity to accuse her of succumbing to lust, a stern scolding.

<You bastard! If it weren’t for you!>

The dragon, now half-mad from losing nearly half of its heads, caught sight of Seora charging toward t.

Once again, the tail swung toward her. It remained a formidable threat despite being battered and torn from the previous collision with the dragon’s head. However, this time there was no head to act as a shield.

“Yun Seora! You’re out of your mind!” Kang Sejun, who had been hurling fire spears at the dragon’s neck from above, anxiously shouted.

“Hey, don’t worry. Just focus on the enemy in front of you. I’ll protect the rear as the team’s Healer.”

A chain with shining white metal materialized, intercepting the tail. Multiple chains with attached blades sprouted from Monique’s body.

【Activating skill ‘Brilliant Glory’.】

The glorious chains soared through the air, tightly entwining around the thrashing tail of the dragon.

<You think you can stop me with just that...!?>

“Let me point out one thing. These chains are infused with my mana, so even touching them will heal your wounds and restore your vitality.”

Monique effortlessly silenced the dragon’s exclamation. As she had stated, the tail, which had been hanging limply like a rag, now rapidly regenerated.

‘What are you doing?’

Seora, barely able to process what had just transpired, was left dumbfounded. Yet, Monique’s words didn’t cease there.

“But what if the wounds continue to heal even after they’ve been restored? What if we forcibly amplify the regenerative power of the cells?”

<Argh, ugh! You! What are you doing...!>

The tail, which had been instantaneously healed, suddenly began to tremble and rot. The dragon writhed in agonizing pain, but the chains firmly held onto the decaying appendage.

“Granting an excessively heightened regenerative power will ultimately lead to its own destruction. Excessive healing is not a boon.”

<Guaaaaaahh!>

With a forceful swing of the chains, Monique abruptly tore off the tail. The dragon thrashed even more violently than when its head had been severed.

It was to be expected. While each head acted as an individual, the tail was shared among them all. The remaining four heads bore the brunt of the damage.

“Wow, that’s...terrifying,” Seora trembled as she witnessed the tail disintegrating from decay.

Unbelievable. Inflicting cellular necrosis through healing in a continuous manner. What kind of fearsome Healer was Monique? Seora had encountered several Healers during her time as a government official, but she had never witnessed anyone capable of such a phenomenon before.
