Clear Water City

It's been three days since Artus came back to the Mortal World after being killed and kicked by his father to the void.

At this time, Artus had been fighting and traveling at the same time.

Puchi!

Right now, Artus's body was covered in blood. In front of him was a beast wolf and his hand was piercing through its body.

"This feeling...is so good"

Blood red veins surfaced from his body as he continuously absorbs the life of the wolf in front of him.

Life Absorption

This is one of the abilities he now has for being the bearer of the sin gluttony. He has now an endless hunger that makes him devoured anything whether it is life, power, ability, or even weapons.

As he continues to devour and absorb anything, his strength is also increasing very rapidly.

One must know that before being killed by his own father, Artus was only a One-star Martial Warrior.

But this time, he is already a Three-star Martial Warrior. With his strength still increasing very fast.

Warriors and Mages in this Mortal World are divided into different realms. And a Star Warrior or Mages are only the first stages.

After reaching the peak of the Star stage which is 9 Stars. One will have to breakthrough their limits, which is very hard and reach the next realm, the Moon Realm.

Artus was very confident that he could easily breakthrough his limits with his newly acquired power. He can just constantly devour and absorbs power from anyone and he will eventually reach the next realm very easily.

After absorbing the life of the beast in front of him. Artus felt multiple presences approaching his location.

His figure quickly transforms into a shadow and disappeared.

Seconds later, a group of people arrives at his location wearing sets of iron armors.

Artus appeared at the top of the tree looking down and watching the group. Drew a sinister smile on his face.

Five men, and from their armors, they should be from the Clear Water City. A city that was under the control of the Morrisson Family. And the lord of the Clear Water City is the Haley Family. The family of his aunt Wilma, who is also Leon's mother.

When the five soldiers saw the dead dry corpse of the wolf, they immediately approach it.

"What do you think happened to this wolf?" after examining the wolf, one of them spoke.

"From the whole in its body, it should be pierced by something," a soldier said and crouches down and continues, "Nevertheless, I can't seem to figure out what kind of weapon was used to kill this wolf. It is clearly not a sword because it was too big, and if it is from a sword. There should be a sharp cut in it"

"Yeah, I agree to what you just said"

Above them, Artus listens to their conversation quietly. 'Five Three-star warriors, this would be a good chance to test my strength against humans'

He drew the spear from his back and the black sharp blade at its end was releasing a cold gleam.

Devourer

This is the name of this spear. Like what its name said, this spear has the ability to devour anything that it pierced. Aside from that, because this spear is connected to Artus like it is an extension of his arm. Artus can use the powers absorbed by the spear to increase his own power.

Without hesitation, Artus jumps down and aims his spear towards one of the soldiers below.

Splash!

Everything happens suddenly and the soldiers have no chance to react at all.

One of them has his body cut diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist.

His expression didn't even change as he didn't notice that he was already dead. The upper part of his body just slowly slides down and his blood and insides scattered around.

"Enemy!"

The remaining four seeing one of them died immediately pull out their swords and surrounded Artus while maintaining a defensive stance.

"Who are you?!" one of them shouted.

Artus glance at them and his long obsidian black hair fluttered as the cold wind blows against them.

"I am your death" Artus reply and his voice have no emotion.

"Bastard!"

The four were quickly angered by his reply and attack him at the same time.

"Kid! Die!" one of them slashed his sword towards Artus intending to cut his neck off.

But Artus easily dodges the attack while the Devourer in his hands swiftly moves and block the attack of the other three.

"Weak, your strength is very weak," Artus said as he pushed the four back with a single swing of his spear.

The four were shocked when they felt the huge force that came out from the young man in front of them. They now realized that this young man is definitely not simple.

"Quickly inform the others and send ask for some backup. Three of us will remain here to hold him" one of them shouted.

Upon hearing those words, one of the soldiers quickly withdrew his weapon and started to retreat.

Seeing this, Artus's eyes flashed and he mercilessly attacks the other three, with two of them having their heads pierced by the spear creating a bloody hole.

"Damned monster!" the remaining soldier cursed as he charged again at his enemy. Only ending up being pierced by the spear on his chest.

The soldier glared at Artus with hate as he felt the strength inside his body being absorbed by the spear.

After absorbing the strength of the soldiers around, Artus also devoured their bodies, weapons, and armors using the Devourer.

The black spear suddenly transformed into a vicious-looking black monster with dark spike hairs covering its whole body. Four short legs started to move and a huge mouth about seven feet in diameter opens, showing rows and rows of sharp and dangerous teeth.

The Devourer immediately chomps down to the corpses like a hungry beast and the sounds of bones and flesh being eaten sounded in the area.

Huff!

Huff!

Huff!

The running soldier was breathing heavily as he desperately runs.

He knew that from that short exchange with the young man. The other three have no chance of winning at all. He needed to get some help to the city and rescue the other three before being killed.

He had already seen the tall walls of the city and was about to shout when his vision suddenly darkens.

Appearing beside the soldier was Artus with the Devourer immediately chomping down the head and torso of the soldier killing him immediately.

After devouring the last soldier, Devourer transformed back to spear hanging behind Artus.

Artus could feel an increase in his strength after the fight. Energy from the spear flowing inside his body strengthening his bones and muscles.

'Just a little more, I will achieve four stars' he then walks towards the Clear Water City as if nothing happened.

Clear Water City

Being one of the prosperous cities in the kingdom. The structures inside the Clear Water City is very beautiful.

Surrounded by tall towers and thick walls. This city is said to be impenetrable. Tested in many battles, no army has ever managed to step a single foot inside this city.

Because of this, many nobles of the kingdom live here. They enjoy the life of luxury slightly inferior to the life of the nobles in the capital.

At this moment, Artus who was covered in black cloak walks in the street with a slight smile on his face.

'This place is very beautiful. I wonder what would their expressions be when I destroy their peaceful life'

Because he had already exchanged his humanity to gain power. Artus was no longer a human and his attachment to the human race is already gone.

Right now he was a demon...but not any ordinary demon.

He was a void demon carrying one of the deadly sins.

Gluttony

And with his endless hunger whether it is a hunger for power, food, or war. He will do everything to fill up this hunger inside.
