Return of the Unrivaled Spear Knight

Side Story Chapter 174

Side Story Chapter 174

Joshua was right. Perchilin and Tschary had found a way to undo their Overlord Symbolsor more accurately, they knew from the very beginning.

-Im sorry for calling you a creep, Tshchary. I never imagined your research would be so useful.

-Are you going to reward me then?

-Hmph, you perv. Since you death reapers dont even have genitals, you wouldnt want my body. How am I supposed to satisfy my death reaper?

-Im not really interested in your wiggling lumps of fat.

-Youre boring.

While Perchilin and Tshchary whispered to each other, they were getting stronger because Altheon was at the final stage of turning the chamber into the Demon Realm. The two demons were returning to their natural environment.

-Ugh!

Urus went flying across the room, making Perchilin burst into laughter.

-Hahahaha! That pompous idiot is getting humiliated by mere humans. If things keep going this way, we might not even have to bother with them.

-The name of the human driving Urus into a corner is Cain, and hes quite strong. The red-haired man next to the human cant be taken lightly either.

-Theyre still humans.

Perchilin scoffed and activated the power of Lust, shrouding her in pink energy. The more charming the owner was, the stronger the power of Lust was. As Perchilin believed her to be the most beautiful one in the world, the power was perfect for her; it made her almost invincible when she had to fight against many opponents at once.

-Im looking forward to the day all men in the world prostrate themselves before me.

Tshchary could only sigh at Perchilins daydreaming.

-Live your fantasy later and focus on the job at hand now. If he finds out that our Overlord Symbols are useless, our plans will be ruined.

-His instructions were to protect his people, so we wont have a problem as long as we dont let them die. In any case, lets stop with this boring talk and tell me what Evil Sin you want. You could have had the power of Gluttony, but you didnt take it.

Perchilins eyes sparkled. Tshchary quietly looked over at the silver-haired demon who was using his demonic power to turn the floor into black land.

-Why are you suddenly looking at Altheon Ah!

-Youre right. Ive only ever wanted Pride.

-Youre so greedy! Do you want to be a new king of the Demon Realm or something?

Compared to the other Evil Sins, the power of Pride was special to demons because it was the first Evil Sin of the Shining Darkness, who overshadowed even the Demon Realms god in a world where the strongest took everything.

The Shining Darkness had united the entire vast Demon Realm with only Pride. Although he had later acquired the power of Greed and one other Evil Sin, they were merely trophies because the Shining Darkness had pierced the almighty Demon Spirits before the other two Evil Sins had come into his possession.

-It wont be easy since Altheon seems to be hiding the Pride inside him

-So I would like your help on this one. If he tries to use his power of Evil Sin, stop him with your power of Lust.

-Do you think thats possible? The power of Lust is certainly a great ability, but its only the best for me. I dont think its greater than Pride.

Despite the concerns Perchilin raised, her eyes were sparkling. Tshchary instantly knew what she wanted.

-Once we successfully eliminate Urus, Ill hand Sloth over to you.

-My! Do you mean it? I was fine with you undoing my Overlord Symbol!

-Enough. Dont say things you dont mean. Is that enough reason to help me?

-Hahahaha! Its only natural I should help the wisest general of the Demon Realm. Lets stick together until the end, Tshchary!

Altheon suddenly emitted an immense amount of demonic power, completing the chambers transformation into the Demon Realm.

-Hahahaha!

Urus distanced himself and burst into manic laughter. He looked hideous. His arms and horns were severed and he was covered with weeping cuts. He had been constantly on the retreat from Cain and Ulabiss joint attacks, but he was laughing now.

-Ill rip all of you to pieces!

The shocking sight unfolded right afterward.

Agh!

Uruss forehead lit up with a blinding light, making Cain and Ulabis reel. His horns started to grow back from their freshly cut stumps. A demon's horns stored their power, much like a humans mana hall or mana circleit was supposed to be impossible for them to grow back after they were cut off. Nevertheless, Uruss horns were growing back bigger and sturdier than before, almost as if they hadnt been ruined at all.

-Grrrrr.

Urus growled like an animal.

His horns werent the only parts of his body that recovered; his amputated arms also grew back. Uruss resilience exceeded that of a trolls.

-Its the power of Sloth.

The desire to have the Sloth emerged from deep inside Perchilin. The power of Sloth had a straightforward ability.

-The Evil Sin grants their owners wish even if they didnt do anything.

It didnt matter if the owner was lazy. In fact, the lazier the owner was, the more the power of Sloth liked it. The power allowed the owner to manifest their will only with their fingers, surpassing the level of Dragon Tongue.

-Rise! Stronger! Sturdier! Hahahahahahaha!

The storm of demonic power intensified, and Altheon was getting ready to join in on the fight. With Urus and Altheon distracted, Tshchary and Perchilin looked at each other and nodded. This was their only opportunity.

-Tshchary! Perchilin! I wont ask why you betr!

Uruss lips trembled. When he looked down, he saw slim fingers protruding out of his chest. The fingernails were sharper than any beasts claws.

-Per chilin. You bitch!

-You let your guard down.

Perchilin licked the back of Uruss ear with her scarlet tongue, with a grin. The vulnerable moment right after the activation of his Evil Sin, the cumbersome flies before him, the confidence sprouting from his new power, not expecting his colleagues to ambush him in a time like this Everything had conspired to take Urus off guard. Above all

-When did you get Lust?

After activating the Evil Sin that he had sealed inside of him, Urus could feel that Perchilin had acquired the same kind of power.

-Are you surprised?

Perchilin giggled. Among the Seven Evil Sins, the power of Lust was the most subtle; even the energy that it exuded was invisible to the naked eye.

-Gah. This is nothing!

Uruss chest muscles flexed. It looked like he was going to use his super-healing ability with Perchilins hand still inside his heart, but she and Tshchary werent going to let that happen.

-So long.

A shadow loomed over Urus as Tshchary decapitated Urus with his scythe. The red devils head flew into the air, his eyes filled with disbelief.

-Hahahahaha!

Perchilin burst into laughter with her hand still left in his chest. The best part was still to come.

-Now, come to me, Sloth.

A ferocious storm of demonic power erupted once againthis time it came from the hole in Uruss chest.

* * *

Joshua stopped when he arrived in front of the vault hidden underneath the Palace.

Youre back.

Crevasse. Joshua nodded.

A man stood there, looking at Joshua as if he had been waiting for him. The man was Crevasse, the black dragon.

The undead that used to pack the vault were gone, but Crevasse remained.

Youre still here, Joshua said.

Aisha Sestropi has someone to protect, but not me. I have no reason to leave this place.

Is that so?

Of course, if the houses owner asks me to leave, I will.

Joshua looked straight into Crevasses eyes and smirked. Why would I, if you pay your rent on time?

Are all humans thugs like you? I dont think rent would be necessary after all Ive done for you.

It looks like you have something I want, Sir Crevasse.

Crevasse flinched and then nodded.

I think I have an idea what that is. Im sorry. I wont be able to pay the rent my landlord demands; that would be daylight robbery.

Can I ask why you hid the Demon Spirits legacy, even from me?

Crevasse was silent for a long time before he was enveloped by a black light that gave way to reveal a colossal black dragon.

-Although I used to call knights pea-brains, I think that Im starting to understand why theyre like that. Did you say that you want the Demon Spirits legacy I have?

Joshua nodded.

Yes, he quietly replied. I must have it.

-Then bring me to my knees. Then youll be able to get your answer and the legacy.

Joshuas eyes narrowed.
