Part 1: Fate
Eiji stands up with his terrifying new demonic form.
He snaps his clawed fingers sharply.
A massive thunder blast raised instantly from the dark sky.
Everyone rapidly scrambled to dodge it.
The lightning hits directly on the hard ground.
And the shattering sound of the electrical attack is completely overwhelming.
Leo was still heavily injured, clutching his bleeding side.
"Leo, quickly go away with Haruto!" Ryuk shouts through the noise.
"But what's about you?" Leo says, refusing to abandon his friend.
"Just leave us, we can handle him," Ryuk says with absolute resolve.
Leo gritted his teeth, then runs at full speed to escape the center of the battlefield with the unconscious Haruto.
Ryuk and Marin both focused their remaining energy and comes into their advanced Fusion sword forms.
Ryuk attacks first, stepping forward with speed.
He swung his blade and slash Eiji across his demonic frame.
Eiji's hit body part immediately becomes freeze from the sub-zero energy.
But he instantly got unfreeze by the overwhelming, concentrated heat of his own lightning aura.
Eiji raised his hand, completely transforming his limb into pure, crackling lightning.
And he launched this concentrated energy as a massive, blinding beam.
Marin quickly moves, creating a thick diamond wall in front of Ryuk to shield him.
Marin attacks in tandem, launching a wave of sharp diamond spikes from her position.
Eiji creates a small barrier of lightning around himself and completely destroyed the incoming spikes.
Then, a massive, cataclysmic thunderstorm raised directly on top of them.
It hits without mercy.
It was massive.
It was completely overwhelming.
It was utterly destructive.
A massive, world-shaking 500 million volt thunderbolt cascaded down on the fighters.
Marin got extremely exhausted the moment the current passed through her.
Demons are usually kinda weak against the pure properties of lightning.
And this particular strike is a staggering 500 million volt thunder bolt.
Marin can't able to move her body even a single millimeter.
Looks like her entire body became completely paralyzed by the voltage.
Ryuk forcefully vomit blood, coughing violently as his legs buckled.
His internal organs almost stops working entirely from the shockwave.
He nearly experienced true death in that singular moment.
He somehow manages to stay alive by tightly controlling his internal breathing technique.
Marin is so profoundly damaged that her mind doesn't work properly anymore, her consciousness fading.
Ryuk then desperately counters Eiji to keep his attention away from her.
Eiji casually creates another devastating lightning cannon directly from his hand.
The speed of the projectile was so much that Ryuk simply can't able to dodge it.
Ryuk still stands up on his shaking legs despite the incoming threat.
He knows deep down that Eiji is simply too much for them to handle right now.
But still, Ryuk again attacks with everything he has left.
He creates a wall of dense ice.
He tried to freeze him solid one last time.
Then, a massive, apocalyptic 10 billion volt thunderbolt raised and crashed directly on Ryuk.
Ryuk saw a blinding flash of pure white light.
And he fell heavily on the solid ground, his vision going dark.
Now, the critical condition was dire.
Ryuk was in a state where only his autonomous breathing and his raw survival instinct will slowly regenerate his body.
But if he moves even a little bit from his current position.
He gonna die instantly from internal organ collapse.
He needs absolutely no work.
Only total, unmoving rest.
Even the simple act of talking becomes an incredibly hard work for Ryuk right now.
Ryuk fully understand his situation as he lies in the dirt.
He realizes he can't able to survive another exchange.
Marin also tried to do something, trying to force her paralyzed muscles to move.
But Eiji mercilessly flash another sudden strike of 1 billion volt thunder directly at her.
And Marin instantly fainted on the rough ground, completely unconscious.
If Ryuk and Marin don't get heal by a powerful healing ritual very soon.
In exactly 10 minutes.
No one in this world could save them from cellular death.
They will die for sure.
Leo is watching them from a safe distance, his eyes wide with horror.
Right then, Haruto finally wakes up on Leo's shoulder.
He looked around blearily and asked Leo, "What's happening?"
Leo quickly explained the devastating defeat of their comrades.
And Haruto instantly understand the gravity of the situation.
And he understand that now they have to defeat Eiji at whatever cost.
Then suddenly.
Leo normally looks up at the bright night sky and gazes at the moon.
It was the full moon night.
Leo is just looking at the glowing moon continuously without blinking.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere.
Leo's heavy cleaver released a thick, blackish color aura.
The dark energy spilled out and spread rapidly across Leo's entire body.
Then, Leo suddenly and slowly started to physically transform.
Haruto become deeply confuse and panicked at what is happening to his friend.
And in just a few agonizing minutes.
Leo turns entirely into a massive, terrifying Werewolf.
The Logpost people has an ancient myth regarding the full moon nights.
A legend where they saw a terrifying werewolf roaming the mountains.
Now, Leo becomes the very werewolf of the myth by looking at the moon.
Leo completely lost his human mind to the primal instincts.
In his raging mind, he just wanted to kill Eiji.
He jumps at Eiji with unnatural, explosive speed.
And he grip his neck extremely tightly by using his stronger, enhanced muscle grip.
And throws him away into a very long distance across the rocky valley.
The movement was so quick that Eiji doesn't even understand what is happening to him.
The Werewolf version of Leo got fully covered with a radiant golden-blackish color aura.
And his predatory eyes turns into a bright, piercing red glow.
The Werewolf opens its wide mouth.
And a concentrated, devastating beam released from his mouth.
It's super quick, tearing through the atmosphere.
Eiji got cleanly hit by the direct energy blast.
His entire right hand got completely destroyed instantly, vaporized into nothingness.
And the impact on the surface creates a massive 200 meter, 360-degree large area of total destruction.
Eiji roared in agony and rapidly heals his missing hand using his commander-tier regeneration.
He aggressively attacks back with a lightning cannon beam and a torrent of thunder.
The Werewolf didn't even move to avoid the incoming spells.
It stand there completely fearless in the middle of the storm.
Every single magical attack hits the Werewolf squarely.
But after all of that smoke cleared, the werewolf simply started screaming super loudly into the night.
The terrifying voice echoes and goes to the entire town of Logpost.
The Werewolf runs fast, charging straight through the electrical currents.
His thick fur and body was burning from the residual lightning.
But the crazed werewolf didn't care about the physical pain at all.
It runs fast, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.
And he sharpen its long claws and sharp nails.
And do a powerful, sweeping slash.
It was incredibly sharp and precise.
It cleanly cuts Eiji from the inside out.
Eiji cough up a heavy amount of blood, his balance shattered.
The Werewolf then punched Eiji incredibly hard in the face.
Eiji somehow manages to balance himself in the air using his wings.
Then, he desperately summons a massive storm of thunder.
Multiple thunder strikes lands heavily on the Werewolf every single second.
Each individual thunderbolt was a massive 200,000,000 volt thunder strike.
They hit the werewolf repeatedly, scorching his flesh.
But the werewolf simply open his wet mouth and slowly lick his sharp teeth.
And he make like a creepy, unsettling smile at his opponent.
Like a primal predator who wants to devour a god himself.
Eiji felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
Haruto, on the other hand, is hurriedly using his position to start healing the dying Ryuk and Marin.
The Werewolf then moves fast, disappearing from Eiji's sight.
It slash again.
And again.
And again.
A completely non-stop storm of slashes.
Slashes that deeply pierced Eiji from the inside.
Even his one entire side of human flesh got completely wiped out by the claws.
His white bones and internal organs are completely shown to the open air.
Eiji tries to counter with a desperate thunder cannon.
And throws a heavy thunder punch.
But even though it hits the Werewolf directly.
But it looks like absolutely doesn't happen anything with the werewolf, who ignores the damage.
Then, the werewolf then release another massive beam directly from his gaping mouth.
It was absolutely massive.
The sheer trajectory of the blast destroys 5 entire mountains at once in the distance.
And Eiji got damaged heavily, his energy reserves plummeting.
He bleeds profusely from everywhere on his body.
Giving him absolutely no break.
The Werewolf comes rushing again.
And do a non-stop, localized storm of slashes.
The Werewolf cut every single body part currently visible on Eiji.
Eiji's demonic wings got cut into a million tiny pieces.
And Eiji's dark horn completely breaks off.
Eiji's ruptured lungs and broken bones are laid bare.
And his exposed intestine is fully shown.
And at the absolute end of the combo, the werewolf pierced his whole claw completely out of his chest.
And his long nail goes cleanly from front to back by piercing the skin itself.
Eiji then helplessly fall on the ground, his transformation unraveling.
Then, the exhausted werewolf fall on the ground too.
And got completely fainted, reverting back to a still state.
Eiji, barely clinging to life, woke up in the crater and looks over and says.
"It's the chance...!"
He gathers the last of his strength and uses a sudden thunderbolt to execute them.
And Haruto quickly comes jumping in front of the attack.
He tried to absorb the high-voltage thunderbolt using his special gloves containing the lizam artifact.
But the incoming thunderbolt was simply too powerful.
Although Haruto successfully absorb the thunderbolt into his gloves.
But the fragile lizam artifact stone on his gloves completely breaks under the pressure.
But as Haruto has several open injuries in his hands from the previous clashes.
The shattered stone particles goes directly through his blood vessels.
Because of that sudden invasion, Haruto suddenly feel a blinding, agonizing headache.
His physical body is rapidly mutating at a cellular level.
His human blood started to forcefully adapt to the properties of the lizam artifact.
Because of the intense pain of the mutation, Haruto again fainted on the dirt.
Eiji then looked toward the distance and decided he will first destroy the entire Logpost town, then he will come back and kill them all.
Eiji slowly recovers his ruined wings using his remaining lifeforce.
Then he fly high up into the sky.
And then he summons a massive, apocalyptic lightning storm in the sky.
The entire Logpost sky covers in a dark, deep fog.
Everything looks terrifying and ominous.
Then, powerful, random thunder attacks started to raise and crash down on Logpost town.
The innocent people start running frantically through the streets.
They are running for their very lives in total chaos.
But unfortunately, not everyone got safe from the descending wrath.
Some citizens tragically died during that initial bombardment.
And Eiji is now actively destroying the infrastructure of Logpost.
And from his high vantage point, Eiji saw 4 ancient watchtowers.
And their specific distance between each other creates a perfect square shape over the town.
Then, Eiji started to perform a highly advanced practical ritual.
From each of the four watchtowers, raw electricity comes out and join with each other to form a glowing square grid.
Then, Eiji cast the main core of the ritual.
Then, all the ambient thunder collects on a specific, singular point of the darkened sky.
Then, a massive, legendary thunder Dragon appears from the clouds.
It was super massive, crackling with ancient power.
It slowly comes descending towards the Logpost landscape.
And its total voltage is an unimaginable 10,000 billion volts.
And if it touches the land below, everything in this region is gonna end completely.
Then suddenly, down below.
The fainted werewolf wakes up once more, his survival instinct flaring.
Then, it jumps incredibly high straight at the sky.
And goes right in front of the massive thunder dragon's path.
And use a massive, concentrated beam directly from his mouth.
And that energy beam was so overwhelmingly powerful that it destroys the massive thunder dragon from the inside out.
Then, the giant dragon completely disappeared as the residual thunder goes out into the air.
Then, the werewolf stands screaming there in the sky, loudly declaring his absolute victory.
Then, the werewolf finally transform back into Leo again.
And his unconscious, spent body started to fall helplessly on the ground.
Ryuk quickly moves and catches him mid-air before he impacts.
And goes away quickly to a safe clearing.
Leo was completely naked now due to the violent transformation shredding his gear.
Fortunately, Marin and Ryuk had already been partially healed by Haruto's previous efforts before he passed out.
Seeing Leo completely naked.
Marin immediately hides her eyes with her hands, blushing furiously.
And told Leo to put some clothes on his body right now.
Ryuk looks down at Leo's exposed private part, blinks expressionlessly, and replied.
"Hmm... mine is bigger."
Then, Ryuk casually put some spare clothes on top of Leo to cover him.
Then, Haruto finally wakes up from his brief state of mutation.
And something incredibly majestic happens to his body.
Haruto now fully fused with the lizam artifact.
Means his physical body became a living lizam artifact due to the deep mutation of his blood.
Then, the heavily weakened Eiji appears, dropping down from the sky.
Haruto then instantly uses his advanced Ritual zone.
As Haruto now can freely use eco energy directly from his blood, because the lizam artifact properties now contained within them inside it.
Still, he can't naturally learn or cast complex magical skills.
He could just absorb and discharge energy raw.
Then, Eiji uses his remaining power to launch a final thunderbolt.
Haruto counters instantly with his own raw thunderbolt discharged from his hands.
The two electrical currents clash violently in the middle of the air.
Eiji is now in a very weak, near-death state from the werewolf's assault.
For that specific reason, his current thunderbolt is very weak and unstable.
Haruto's superior thunderbolt overpowers the clash and hits Eiji's body directly.
And due to the massive overload of pure electricity entering his already failing system.
Eiji's body got completely busted from the inside out.
And he died instantly, his lifeless corpse fell heavily on the ground.
They had finally, definitively killed the Sin Commander Eiji.
Haruto walked over, searched the corpse, and look out the key from Eiji's pocket.
Then, he saw Leo finally wakes up, and Ryuk and Marin is warmly praising him for his heroic form.
Haruto and Ryuk then look at each other, walking forward to do a firm handshake.
And they sincerely apologize to each other for their past misunderstandings and conflicts.
Now, it looked like everything finally goes well for the group.
But in a completely different, hidden location.
A mysterious figure is looking down at them in pure anger and intense curiosity.
Then suddenly, right from Eiji's dead sin tattoo.
A mysterious, colossal figure started to physically come out right there on the ground.
It was none other than the embodiment of the 7 Deadly Sins: Sloth himself.
He is coming into their physical plane directly from Eiji's glowing tattoo.
Marin notices the manifestation, her face turning pale with absolute terror, and she tells everyone. "Get down your head!"
Now, if they saw Sloth's true coming form with their bare eyes.
They will die instantly from a powerful, conceptual curse.
It's an absolute curse of the highest order.
Now, the desperate situation is that they simply can't go away or do something to escape.
If they do even a single thing or make a sound, it will be instant death.
Now, they have only one single thing they could do.
Stay perfectly still in the dirt, keep their eyes down, and wait.
For their impending death.
Because now, absolutely no one could save them from the true presence of Sloth.
