Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

Chapter 352: Lost Continent Reclamation; Lazy Death



King Pride's rampage continued, still unable to recognize allies from foes. His maws were wide open, scattering a trail of acidic spit wherever he went. He transformed at some point during his rampage, turning into a Chimera.

A goat head grew from his nape, a pair of eagle wings unfurled behind him, and he also grew snaketail. Both the goathead and the snaketail were sentient; by the way, they're capable of releasing attacks to add to King Pride's onslaught.

His transformation caused his already perverted strength to skyrocket even more at an alarming rate. In his previous form, Fiona could still receive a blow from him, but in this state, even a graze would be fatal.

Fortunately, King Pride isn't just a danger to humans but also to his fellow Sin Demons. Even they had to avoid getting in his way, or else he'd tear them apart before they could blink. Continue reading on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

Currently, King Pride is being held down by Charles. Yes, this teenage-looking Superhuman, who looked as if he snucked out of the house, was holding back the rampaging disaster that is this Demon King.

He's able to do so only because King Pride lost all of his rationality. He attacks everything that moves, and that includes Charles' toys. The Tech God was leading the rampaging demon into a wild goose chase using his cleverly placed energy cannons while Charles himself stayed far away from him.

Whenever King Pride was about to attack one of his comrades, Charles would rain down fire on the demon, catching its irritation and anger, which would cause it to chase the machines he made. This gives his comrades more room to deal with the other sin demons around.

While Charles continued to lure King Pride away, the rest of his comrades were busy trying to round up the rest. They knew that they're all needed to deal with King Pride alone, so they have to kill the other Sin Demons as soon as they can before Charles runs out of machines to use.

Raven's pitch black wings released lasers of pitch black projectiles towards his enemies. These projectiles contained the power of darkness laws. It sticks and restricts their movements, allowing others to hit the targets solidly. His projectiles also numb their senses and were also effective in swallowing their enemies, making them more lethargic.

The one that's most affected by this effect was Big Sloth due to his innate sin flaring up.

Big Sloth was already slow. He really didn't want to be here in the first place; he just wanted to sleep and be lazy forever. With the side effect of Raven's Darkness Laws, this feeling became even stronger, making him feel more tired and lethargic. In turn, he's accumulating more injuries compared to the rest of his allies.

Of course, the other sin demons also noticed this. And while they complain about Big Sloth most of the time, he's still a comrade that they've been with for hundreds of years now. Of course, they'd be unwilling to see him die, so they're doing their best to give him some room to recover.

Unfortunately, the humans also knew what they're trying to do, and they're making it very difficult for them to help each other out.

When Gluttony tries to place himself in between Sloth and whatever attack that's about to land on his body, Fiona would casually appear right next to him to throw him on the opposite side of the cage, preventing him from protecting Sloth.

Greed tries to help Sloth; Cassandra summons a literal storm to lift him and that oversized knapsack of his away.

Lust tries to interfere by sending a cloud of pheromones that would energize Sloth. Lissandra will form an arcane barrier around her, one that's made of pure moonlight energy, to keep that cloud in there. Filius will also help out by summoning some strange plants that happen to devour that kind of substance for sustenance.

If Lady Envy tries to interfere herself, Anthony will simply fly in circles around her, leaving behind clouds of metal shards that prevent her from moving any closer, especially if she doesn't want to be pierced by shrapnels.

Garrick and Old Man Jin are also there to dish out lethal attacks when they need to. Unlike the rest, these two are very determined to maul and slice the demons apart.

As for King Pride, they don't have to do anything. In his state of insanity, it'd be a miracle if he didn't attack Sloth himself. Actually, the humans wanted to see that happen the most.

This purposeful and sinister interference from humans caused the rest to feel very anxious. The feeling of seeing their lifelong comrade slowly but surely succumbing to the grip of certain death is something that they never thought they'd experience.

It was enraging. So much so that it's making them feel desperate. They never expected that the locals that they used to look down upon were capable of making them feel this way. If they'd known, they would've never allowed the situation to reach this stage.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for regrets.

And all it took was one slip—a single moment of carelessness—and Big Sloth was done for.

"NOOOOOO!!!!" Lust's roar of grief shook the field.

The Sin Demons watched as Old Man Jin smoothly passed through Big Sloth's body. It's as if that single moment extended for a lifetime. Afterwards, they saw Big Sloth's head sliding down from his shoulders.

His big and lanky body collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, unmoving and unresponsive. His head was caught by the old man and was burned through some special means.

The Sin Demons could feel Big Sloth's soul wailing in pain as he was burned. It lasted for only a couple of seconds before it was completely gone. None of them were able to react to it due to their shock and disbelief, but they all knew that Big Sloth truly died.

The Soul Network wasn't able to recover his soul due to the methods the human used to directly burn his soul. The Flesh Incubator will also be rendered useless since Big Sloth's soul is gone.

Big Sloth died. He died in these foreign lands, and his last moments were filled with pain and agony. Their so-called immortality was rendered ineffective and completely worthless against these locals.

If they never saw it happen in person, none of them would've believed it.

They did, though. And now, aside from grief and anger, they also felt a fear enveloping them.

It was only after witnessing this that they truly felt the weight behind that lady's words earlier when she said that it's either they (Sin Demons) or them (Humans) that will leave this place alive. There's no in-between, no concessions, or any possible negotiations.

One side lives and the other dies. That's it. Plain and simple.

The Sin Demons now realized that when she said the word 'death', she actually meant a 'permanent death'.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!" Sir Greed recovered and roared at the top of his lungs.

His form visibly fluctuated due to the sheer grief and anger he felt. But right before he could say anything more, something appeared right next to him. He was hit and was sent flying, causing him to feel sober.

"Don't be so dramatic," Fiona spat as she rubbed her fist. "It's just death. You're on a battlefield. Shit like that is normal."

"You filthy whore! How dare you kill him!!" Lust responded in anger.

Fiona sneered in her direction and said, "Oh, so it's fine when you guys do it, but when we do it, it's bad? Bitch, you're fucking delusional."

"You guys go through many worlds, causing mindless slaughter and genocide without batting an eye just to fuel your selfish greed for resources and get angry or disdainful when the locals fight back? Holy shit, what kind of logic is that? For someone who claims that they're from a'superior race', that line of thought is pretty stupid, you know?"

Her words rendered her completely speechless. That, along with the sheer killing intent she's exuding as she spoke, made Lust even more fearful of her wrath.

Does she understand what this woman meant with her words? Of course, she does. She's neither a fool nor an idiot. She also knew that this was just the start of their revenge, and they would not stop until every single one of them was dead.

Why else would they imprison themselves with them if they're not determined to trade with their lives for this one chance?

Lady Envy sighed inwardly as she gripped her fists harder. Unlike the rest, she knew that this was coming. Her people accumulated way too much sin and negative karma. And now, their retribution has come, and it couldn't be stopped.

She could smile mirthlessly and tell everybody, 'I told you so,' but she can't. It's way too late for that. Besides, she's trapped here. And with the current momentum humans have, it's very unlikely that she'll leave this place alive.

'I'm sorry, Rom'er. It seems that I'll be breaking my promise to you.'
