GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The sergeant was also at rank 3 and had three rank 2 godclads with him, but Legion didn’t think they were enough to kill a rank 3 mutant killer without some casualties.

It was the mutant’s identity as a killer that made them wary, so they continued to follow Captain Sheckel. Captain Sheckel led them towards the mutant giant.

She did the same thing she did to the killer to the giant. She bound it with white chains after pointing her finger at it. That was the rank 1 divine ability of the path of justice.

She said to the last sergeant, “Kill this one. The rest should follow me.”

Legion decided to stop here. They had many reasons for doing so.

Of the three mutants, they were most optimistic about defeating the giant, even though it was the strongest and most difficult to kill.

Secondly, they didn’t want to fight together with Captain Sheckel. They had too many secrets that they didn’t want to expose to her, so it was best for them to stay away from her.

Other godclads didn’t have the same idea as them. Many people wanted to follow her, but of the seven godclads that remained, four had to stay behind while the remaining three continued ahead.

Only two godclads could follow Captain Sheckel while the other four went to fight the giant. Even before Captain Sheckel began to fight the mutant traveler, Legion knew that it was going to be very difficult.

A rank 3 traveler is already fast enough, if not faster than, a rank 4 godclad. A rank 3 mutant traveler will definitely be faster than a rank 4 godclad.

Plus, travelers at rank 3 finally have a means of attacking, and it is powerful too. The advantage of speed and attack won’t be easy to defeat.

They are sure that Captain Sheckel will win the fight. They are sure of that because an epic being is not so easy to deal with. But those who follow her to fight won’t have it so easy either.

From the first battlefield, the first problem had appeared. Legion heard a loud cry of pain, which made them glance over.

The mutant killer was still shackled. But its immobile state didn’t affect the movement of its tentacles at all. One of those tentacles struck a woman’s arm and cleaved through it.

It wasn’t this injury that caused the woman to cry in pain. The woman had been stunned by the killer’s rank 3 divine ability, which made it impossible for her to move. So she couldn’t cry even if she wanted to.

The person who cried in pain was the guy who tackled the mutant killer in order to distract it from killing the injured woman.

The man had succeeded in distracting the mutant killer. As a reward, the woman was spared from certain death, and a tentacle had pierced through her chest and came out from her back.

Legion chuckled inwardly and said to themselves, “What a noob.”

It is common sense not to let a killer touch you. The difference between life and death can be a single touch from a killer. This is especially so when they reach rank 3.

The rank 3 divine ability of the pathway of killing is Stun. Anyone they injure will be stunned mentally and become frozen.

Once they are stunned, enemies won’t be able to move or dodge. This will allow the killer to easily accumulate death marks on them.

This is just the result of a single touch. The man had managed to get a tentacle stuck within him. It is clear what his fate will be.

The other three rushed to save him. But the tentacle lit up with a red glow and split the man from his chest to his head. Blood spilled everywhere, and screams of pain abound.

Legion didn’t want to end up like him, so they turned to focus on their own fight.

The giant was the one most restricted by the Shackles rank 1 divine ability. It didn’t have tentacles, so it needed its arms and legs to attack and move.

While the giant was immobile, the four lamp bearers surrounded it and began to attack it. Legion joined in the attack too.

They activated Sever on their hand and used it together with Death Mark to attack the stuck giant. Their hand slashed the skin of the mutant giant open. This was the most severe injury it had suffered. It screamed in pain.

The giant’s hardened body made it difficult for it to be injured by the other lamp bearers, but Sever didn’t care about anything. As long as a defense isn’t the Aegis Shield, Sever will slice it apart.

Legion didn’t go for any lethal injury. They didn’t aim for the giant’s heart like they normally would because they didn’t want to get stuck to it like a certain fool and because they weren’t sure that a crushed heart would kill the mutant.

They weren’t even sure it still had a heart. So they stayed cautious and made themselves content with causing minor injuries all over its body.

They were slowly accumulating death marks. While this was going on, the sergeant that went to fight the mutant killer had activated the rank 3 divine ability of the pathway of justice on the killer.

The rank 3 divine ability of the pathway of justice is Fire of Sin. This is a fire that can’t be put out. The fuel of the fire is sinful acts, so it will continue to burn as long as there is sin to burn.

The damage of Fire of Sin is directly proportional to the number and quality of sins that the target has committed in their life. Murder is the most serious sin. But the murder of a lamp bearer is a deadly sin.

The mutant had killed many people before the fire struck it. No matter how powerful the mutant is, it will lose at least half of its life because of those crimes.
