Chapter 384 The Seed Of Greed
?[I have been conducting a lot of researches based on your past relationship with the abyss]
[I must say, you are one hell of an oddball]
Her monotonous voice sounded a bit lively than usual.
"Eh? Why did you say that."
[Just as you suspected. The dark sea was a corruption left by the abyss]
[After I finished my analysis. I came to this conclusion]
A slight frown creased on Raith's face as sage's monotonous voice continued.
[The dark sea must be destroyed]
[However, if not done right this could cause overwhelming damages to your soul]
[If care is not taken. Perhaps you could die]
"So what do you think I should do in order to increase the chances of this not failing"
[Our best shot is using the error code of greed]
"That? Isn't it something that was just supposed to help me negate the influence of the abyss to a certain extent... now that I remember it didn't do shit. It was all a lie. That darned abyss"
[The error code can be used to interfere with fundamental laws of nature. The degree of interference however is based on one's authority of sin. Also your sphere of influence is greatly determined by the sin you rule]
"Oh oh... this is sounding interesting"
Raith rubbed his chin as he acknowledged.
"So, in order to break this place I have to use the error code."
He raised his head.
"You probably know what my next question is..."
[The error code should be the easiest thing for a ruler to use. Don't ask me that!]
Raith almost felt offended by her response. She sounded irritated of some sort. Letting out a helpless sigh, he straightened and took in the still expanse. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Maybe with an even stronger influence than before.
The thought of it made him shudder. This primordial is the worst. Seriously, he was going to kill it, he would not rest until he did. With how much he had suffered? Nah, I'm not letting that bastard off the hook. Now, that he had vanquished the seed of the abyss...
"What do I do with it..."
Raith suddenly heard a slurping sound.
He squinted his eyes for a couple of seconds, staying silent to be sure he heard right.
The sound came again... from behind him. Raith hopped to the front in a scare, hands folded to a fist and ready to pummel a blow into what it was.
To his surprise... it didn't seem harmful.
This thing in front of him. Strangely, this was the first time both of them were meeting but he knew it so well. On the first glance, he undoubtedly knew what it was.
It was a small mass of darkness two red hollow glow burning in its center. For one, it seemed unstable but alive. Another thing Raith noticed was a set fine white teeth and tongue, both feature very humanlike.
His eyes was calmly focused on the mass of darkness.
Raith cautiously looked at the mass of darkness. The thing's attention was undoubtedly fixed on what was in his hand. It was voraciously staring at it while floating.
"Greed?"
It's burning red eyes shifted course, so did its whole body. They were now looking at Raith.
'Damn... it actually is greed. What is the seed doing here, why is it like this?'
This was the seed he spent so much effort trying plant in his soul. The seed of greed. Because of what it was, there was an explicit familiarity between the two of them.
Did it finally sprout? Come to think of it... while he was expunging the dark see, it rather felt like he was feeding it to something else.
Did the seed gain enough growth energy from the expunged darkness... and now it's hungry for more?
Raith looked at the thing in his hand. He didn't have a use for it anyway. He stretched it forward and ....
The mass of darkness swiped it off his hand immediately, gulping it down its cloudy mouth. Strange, it didn't fall off.
'Where did it go?' Raith wondered, looking under the thing.
Greed let off a satisfying belge as it digested the black seed. A second later the mass of darkness began to shiver, the red hollow blaze that served as its eyes dimmed and was almost giving out.
But slowly, its cloudy body thinking into a glossy darkness witn white stripes running over it. It's eyes was now red with a definite form like ruby. It's teeth even whiter and tongue maroon.
"....okay... what is happening here?"
