Vengeance's Call

Chapter 5: Greed and sins.

I woke up to a cold hand on my forehead. I wake up and see it's Eylul. "Oh uh… I'm sorry!" I can't mess this one up! "No, it's fine! Why was your hand on my head anyway though?" She looks nervous but decides to answer that. "Well, I wanted to see if you had a fever... you know just in case?" It's strange but I don't really mind. I quickly got up and got ready for the fight ahead. My spiritual sword is radiating with energy, and it's a different color than normal. Normally it's a sea teal blue color. Now it's a greenish color. "What happened to your blade...?"

Eylul asks, sounding incredibly confused. "Uh, I don't know..." She looks at me annoyed but walks off. I got up and got ready for the battle ahead. His name is Avarus. He's an annoying one to find because we've been searching for two months but finally recently found him. I only have ten months of my three-year clock left, and I haven't even started killing the seven deadly sins.

I have to get to work. I set off, traveling for two days straight. I finally arrived at where he was last seen. It's a small town with destroyed landscapes, like a ghost town. But I still travel through the destroyed wooden buildings. I see a spider crawling around part of the rubble as a piece of wood falls from a nearby building.

But I saw a man staring at me through a destroyed building. I dashed straight at the building and sent a massive s***h of spiritual energy. It seems I may have overseen my power a little bit and accidently destroyed the entire building. I saw the man who was watching on the ground as he put his hands up and was clearly afraid.

"WAIT PLEASE, I'M SORRY FOR WATCHING PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" Huh? Wait... would the sin of greed try and manipulate me? "Who are you then?" He seemed scared but clearly willing to do anything I asked. "My name is Leto." Alright, so we have a name. "Alright. So where is the sin of-" "WATCH OUT!"

He shouts as he throws me out of the way as someone attacks me straight from behind and smashing through the floor. The rotted wood smashes through the air as I get a slight splinter in my hand, but ignore it. I grip my spiritual blade, it's a deep shade of red now, but I'm prepared for battle. I'd send a s***h straight at the man who attacks before he digs into the ground like a dog. "DAMMIT! I HAVE TO CHASE HIM! STAY HERE LETO!" I send a slice straight to the ground as an explosion clears a path, straight to him. "Gotcha."
