The Villages Destruction, New Skills
The next morning was a sad sight, Laziness was actually crying, the hard prickly bed had basically prevented him from getting any sleep. After returning to the table of sins and hearing of the current plan, out of grief he agreed with it wholeheartedly. If someone stops Laziness from sleeping, he would put them in a permanent sleep 6 feet under the ground.
The plan was plain and simple, each sin would be ready to take control of Crimson at any moment that they were required to, Wrath would begin and the brutal murders would soon ensue, After careful analysis they estimated the village population to be around 500 people in total.
Although Crimson had high attributes, and all of them could be used by just one sin, each of them had only mastered one attribute, so switching between sins depending on the attribute needed at the time was very efficient, considering the extremely low amount of time it required.
(Authors note: Please don't expect there to be much mercy and kindness in this novel, things like baseless murder and more will appear in the future.)
*Laziness switches with Wrath*
Staring at the room door, Wrath had decided to use his most prized possession. The Katana Of Wrath.
A blade born and raised from the blood, deaths and wrathful thoughts of others, any normal person who came into contact with it, would have their mind overcome with the spirits of the dead, their bodies would become possessed, the spirits would then command the person to either kill themselves with the katana or to go on a merciless killing spree. And with their feeble mind unable to resist evil power of the katana, they would have no choice but to comply.
The only person able to wield this katana was Wrath himself, a person formed from the very essence of the blade. Although the katana carried many drawbacks and perquisites for use, it also carries incomparable power, its sharpness could slice through anything materialistic without a single hinderance, but its most powerful aspect was blood control.
Currently, Wrath was unable to control the power of blood, fortunately this blade could, but his control over blood even with this blade was very feeble, but it was still enough to completely decimate any mortal competitors.
After bringing it into the real world from within the table of sins, the katana could finally be seen. The blade was dyed completely red, the same as its tsuba (the guard in-between the blade and handle), The handle though was made from the scales of a black dragon. While holding it, a dark aura emanated from within filled with regretful spirits and bloodthirsty wrathful thoughts.
Wrath blasted his room door open with a powerful kick, creating a resounding noise throughout the hotel. 3 people opened their own doors in rage looking for the person who caused such ruckus, all to have their throats slit in the same instant, all of them looked at the culprit with wide eyes full of shock and disbelief, refusing to believe they would die in such a way.
Meanwhile, Wrath looked at them with a devilish smile, fit for someone from hell itself, as he watched them fall to the floor in agony. Once they died, he did something weird. He stabbed the blade inside one of their hearts, in the next moment blood started to run up the blade with immense speed defying the laws of gravity and sunk inside, when the body was completely pale and devoid of all blood, a red visible soul got released from the body and also seeped inside the blade.
The last amazing thing about the katana of wrath, was its ability to increase its many power features via absorbing blood and souls with endless rage and regret, souls with incredible amounts of regrets and rage would be even more effective, the same thing went for beings with powerful bloodlines. A blade of evolution.
Wrath then started barging into rooms one by one before leaving a second later another life leaving this world, understanding that he didn't have enough time to take the souls and blood of everyone, even with the katana's fast absorption speed he decided to come back later, the amount of time it took for spirits to naturally leave the body was about 1 hour, and blood took about 1 hour to fully dry.
After finishing upstairs, he headed down the stairs, Wrath then sliced the throat of the female attendant, who wasn't that pretty so lust allowed it to happen.
*Wrath switches with Greed*
Greed then quickly went on a collection spree, taking all the money and other valuable items before storing them inside the storage ring, Greed being an advocate of robbery developed an eagle eye for determining the value of items, reached a very high level of accuracy in his judgement. After stealing everything of possible value, Greed dashed out the door at high speeds and looked around at the commoners walking around calmly.
In a second he appeared in front of 2 people, unfortunately for wrath just as he was about to switch with Greed, Lust shouted.
"NO, they're to pretty" The other 5 looked at him speechlessly
It was indeed 2 beautiful girls, who right now looked at Greed with a questioning gaze on why he stood in front of them. Noticing that Wrath wasn't trying to take control Greed worked out the reason in his head.
'damn that idiot lust, all he thinks about is woman' Greed thought inwardly while secretly mocking him.
Then just as they saw Crimson's handsome face and were about to talk to him, he disappeared from his spot with incredible acceleration, leaving them both disappointed and shook, Greed, not wanting to take the risk this time sought out a male target instead which wasn't very hard.
*Greed switches with Wrath*
What followed for the next 10 minutes was constant bloodshed and murder, the calm village was now filled with endless screams of fear, blood ran through the streets, bodies were sprawled across the ground split into separate pieces, over the entire period multiple swaps kept happening.
*Wrath switches with Greed*
*Greed switches with Pride*
*Pride switches with Envy*
These 4 kept on switching constantly showing a wide array of attitudes before victims, each getting incredible boosts towards breaking their part of the seal.
165 corpses lay on the ground, most of the village population caught wind of the situation and managed to flee in separate directions, significantly lowering the number of kills Crimson could get, after taking the souls and blood of the corpses, the sins then checked the system.

Innate abilities: weak blood control, small eternal treasury
Innate skills: Godly sin absorbing vortex, Blood shield, Blood hardening, Touch pickpocket

Weak Blood Control:
Description: Wrath has developed a talent for the control of blood, he is now able to weakly control the blood flow of his current perception range and form it into a solid flexible material at a slow pace.
Innate skills unlocked: Blood shield, Blood hardening,
Current blood control area = 1 meter

Innate skill unlocked: Touch pickpocket
Current storage area = 5 square miles
Energy used per second = 300
These new abilities were very useful, blood control could be used for multiple things whether it be defence, attack or something else, its only two downsides were its high energy usage and slow movement speed, but given the time to form it could become a major weapon.
Small eternal storage was also useful, although its space was smaller than the storage ring, it was very secure and safe, which made up for the lack of space, not that they even needed that much space yet anyway, the storage ring ran the risk of getting robbed which although unlikely may still happen.

These new skills would also be very useful in certain situations, closing the system, Wrath was forced to stick to the deal he made with Pride.
*Wrath switches with Pride*
Pride walked through the streets, while staring at the dead bodies feeling haughty.
"weak peasants, thinking they could face of against us, laughable thoughts" he mumbled under his breath arrogantly.
Many of the commoners had clubs, old swords, bows and more in their hands obviously those who tried to contend with Crimson but seeing their current state that plan didn't seem to turn out to well.
After untying the horse from the stables, Pride leapt on top of it, after watching Greed fail miserably he knew what to do while ridding it. The horse was currently shaking in fear as it strode out of the village, it had just watched its rider slaughter above a hundred people like livestock, believing him to be an incantation of the devil.
'I cant believe I even thought about running away from this guy, holy crap he's strong' thought the horse inwardly. If anyone were to focus, they would notice yellow liquid spilling out from its underbelly.
"come on horse, its time to find someone to humiliate" Pride spoke while pulling the reigns.
