Virtue Encounters Sin

Excitement, fear, anger, and sorrow; these were the emotions that gathered into a singularity, ready to be clutched by a single greedy palm.

Zing!

The collapsing of oxygen in the air provoked a high-pitched pop to sound, and as this happened, so too did the hearts of everyone who surrounded him collapse.

"Urgh—!"

"Ack—!"

"Hurrg—!"

"Hic—!"

The four perpetrators surrounding him fell to the floor, grabbing their chests in pain. In the center of it all, a man grinned at his revitalization in power from the event.

"So exciting, you're all brimming with emotion today... This tournament's going to provide me lots of power…"

Midas unsheathed a knife from his holster that he'd held onto for some time now, and jabbed it into the hearts of each victim that laid before his feet. This put his killcount at four.

"I might as well say it now before you all bleed out; I am the Sin of Greed, and it's unfortunate you've all deemed yourselves irregularities before this tournament. I usually have a hard time taking the life of an innocent, but you've all made it too easy for me to choose."

The four had no air left to reply. Their bodies lay lifelessly at a dangerous embodiment who'd now made his presence apparent in the tournament.

"You say you're the Sin of Greed, huh?" Another male from afar called out.

Midas turned around, not expecting to find a familiar sight that began to approach him. With combat armor equipped to his chest, and a blue theme of handles running down his palms, the vengeful embodiment of diligence flipped his knife and hatchet in hand and launched a sprint at Midas.

"I'm Axel, the Virtue of Diligence, and I'm going to kill every single one of you Sins even if it's the last fucking thing I do!"
