Seven Sins System Chapter 259. Forgotten Chapter III

The days passed. El and Riri continued to meet at their designated spot in the forest, forging a bond that seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment. They reveled in their shared adventures, exploring every nook and cranny of the enchanted forest. Their laughter echoed through the trees, infusing the air with an undeniable joy.

I, on the other hand, found myself sitting in the middle of a sun-kissed field, my eyes fixated on the two kids as they played with carefree abandon. It was a sight that both fascinated and perplexed me. El seemed to have shed the weight of his demonic power when he was with Riri. He moved with a lightness and freedom that I had never witnessed before.

Their activities were varied and imaginative. They built makeshift forts out of fallen branches, climbed trees with unwavering determination, and searched for hidden treasures in the depths of the forest. They laughed, climbed trees, and watched animals together. And El did everything without his demonic power.

'Well, maybe that makes things more fun,' I thought to myself with a smirk. El's perspective as a human allowed him to derive joy from even the simplest of things. It reminded me of how I found amusement in the trivialities of the mortal realm, whether it was engaging in banter with the trio or simply hanging around with my team. Perhaps that was the reason why I could muster some semblance of kindness towards Conny, despite his incessant pranks.

As the days turned into weeks, nothing out of the ordinary occurred in their routine adventures, except for one peculiar incident. During one of their explorations, the two kids stumbled upon a small, purple stone. Its iridescent glow captured Riri's attention, and El, in his eagerness to please his newfound friend, decided to take it home and transform it into a necklace using his Devil's Craft.

To my surprise, El displayed a level of intelligence and recklessness that I hadn't expected from a child his age. He was well aware that Devil's Craft imbued objects with traces of demonic power, and he recognized the potential danger it posed. In a daring move, he resolved to seek the assistance of a priest in a nearby town, hoping to have the necklace blessed and neutralized.

And the priest at that time had the extraordinary power of blessing, which could neutralize such small demonic power. Something that modern priests didn't have.

Today was like any other day in the forest. El, with the necklace clutched in his hand, eagerly waited for Riri's arrival. His youthful face beamed with happiness, and his eyes were fixated on the shimmering purple pendant. The necklace held a certain allure as if it possessed a secret power that only they could comprehend.

However, fate had other plans in store for El on this particular day.

Out of nowhere, a group of individuals clad in medieval-style hunting attire emerged from the depths of the forest. Their sudden appearance caught El off guard, his smile fading into confusion and apprehension. One of the hunters, seemingly drawn to the gleam of the necklace, swiftly snatched it from El's unsuspecting hand.

"Well, would you look at this? What a magnificent piece of jewelry," the hunter exclaimed with a sly grin, twirling the pendant between his fingers. His voice held a hint of greed, and his eyes sparkled with a desire for possession.

"But that doesn't look like real gold," one of the hunters remarked with a hint of disappointment, closely examining the necklace in his hand. His voice held a tinge of skepticism, casting doubt on its value.

Another hunter chimed in, attempting to salvage the situation. "Well, it may not be gold, but the craftsmanship is remarkable. I'm sure we can fetch a decent price for it, maybe a couple of silvers," he said, his eyes glinting with avarice.

El's anger surged within him, fueling his determination to retrieve the stolen necklace. "Give it back!" he demanded, his voice laced with frustration and defiance. He took a step forward, ready to stand up for his friend and reclaim what rightfully belonged to them.

However, the hunters merely scoffed at El's outburst, their expressions twisted into mocking smirks. "Oh, look at this brave little brat," one of them jeered, emphasizing El's youth and perceived insignificance. Their laughter filled the air, a cacophony of disdain and arrogance.

With an abrupt and forceful shove, one of the hunters roughly pushed El backward. "Shut up, brat!"

He stumbled, barely managing to maintain his balance, and fell.

After their heartless laughter faded into the distance, I watched as the hunter group strutted away, their steps filled with arrogance and ignorance. I shook my head, a mix of frustration and determination coursing through my veins. This was going to be a fight they wouldn't soon forget.

With a deep breath, I focused my gaze on the retreating figures of the hunters. "Well, well, well, looks like you've just messed around with the wrong brat," I muttered, a mischievous grin spreading across my face. I had a feeling this encounter was about to take an unexpected turn.

El rose from the ground, his eyes burning with a fiery intensity. A surge of anger radiated from him, causing his fake brown eyes to shift into a vivid shade of red. He clenched his small fists, determination etched across his youthful face.

Without hesitation, El extended his hand once more, his voice echoing with unwavering conviction. "I said give it back!" he yelled, his voice carrying a newfound strength and authority.

The hunter group halted in their tracks, their casual arrogance momentarily faltering as they turned their attention to the enraged young boy. Yet, rather than fear, I saw a flicker of amusement in their eyes, as if they perceived El as nothing more than an insignificant nuisance. They huddled together, their hushed whispers revealing their devious plan.

Suddenly, one of them stepped forward, clutching the stolen necklace tightly in his hand. He raised it high above his head, taunting El with a malicious grin plastered across his face. "If you want it, you'll have to catch us!" he declared, his challenge laced with disdain.
