Usage of power

「 That is not a problem, your highness. You have me. 」

Hearing this, Crocus froze to his game dimension system. Scratching the back of his head while remembering the game difficulties he faced in the past.

"You are right, those games are so hard and the only time I won was because of the luck that I have two souls. However, I accept they humbled me."

「 That is not your only problem, your highness. 」

"What do you mean by that?"

「 You can choose whoever demonic powers you like, your highness. It is Pride, Wrath, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, or Greed. And every use of them will have you subjected to becoming a demon if you have too much sin in every use. So be careful of using any of these sinful powers. 」

"I see no wonder I have seven hearts. So, what are the abilities of those demonic sins that I can use?"

「 Sin demon: ' Wrath ' -

「 Ultimate Demonic Eye: While it grants Wrath an extra-sensory vision of his general surroundings, the Eye's true ability is precognition, allowing Wrath to perfectly and efficiently expect all variables and his opponent's attacks and take action with absolute efficiency with no effort. 

「 Wrath's body would transform into a demon. His demonic body would release dark magic and whenever he damages an enemy, he will put them in a curse that digs deeper wounds in the enemy, causing consecutive attacks to the same enemy to deal more damage with the use of unlimited mana. He would die if the main body of the seven demons dies. 」

"Wait... Wait... What is this demonic Wrath transformation?" 

Crocus said as he wondered and imagine what was that.

「 Answering your highness, it's just like Pride that will transform into a winged black angel creature. 」

"Cough... Cough... What the! Are you sure?" 

「 Yes, your highness. 」

"Okay.... *Cough* What about the next one?"

「 Sin demon: ' Envy ' -

「  Idle Transfiguration and absorption - allows the user to reshape or absorb the soul of themselves or anyone they physically touch. The shape of the body depends on the shape of the soul, so if the soul is distorted or absorbed, so is the body. Therefore, someone using Idle Transfiguration and absorption can disfigure and absorb their target's body into something grotesque by warping their soul's shape with just a touch. 

「 Envy can only absorb anyone weaker than it if he transforms into his second form fleshy demon. Can use unlimited mana but would die if the main body of seven demons dies. 」

"This one is a little scary... But wait, what is this with unlimited use of mana?? I thought I could only borrow their powers for a time being? Can it be used with limitation or duration?" 

「 Your highness, they can use unlimited mana outside as long as you don't die. However, they can also die like 'Wrath'; he may see attacks and evade them easily, but if he encounters creatures with blood bending or any controlling power, he would die. 」

Crocus had a look of confusion on his face. 

"Wait... Wait... Wait... I'm a little confused. Can you tell me what and how my powers can be used inside random game dimensions and outside of it?"

He asked.

「 The usage of your powers inside a random game dimension would be random too, your highness. Since you have me serving you, it's my responsibility to tell you whenever you meet a random spatial crack... I mean game dimension. There are game dimensions that want to use only one sin demon power. There are two, there are three, and more... 」

"I see... then what about outside? How do I use my powers?"

「 To your sin demon powers on the outside, where there is an old system like me. There are two ways: First, release all the demon spirit eyes you conjured in the outside world. It will spread and search for the greater host and you will get clones you can control whenever you want.

「 Second is turning yourself into a seven demon permanently. Seven heads and twenty-eight limbs are kinds of demons.

「 Once you choose your path, there is no turning back. 」

The hair of Crocus's skin stood up when he heard the Game Dimension system's second option.

"I choose the first one of course! There's no way you'd turn me into a demon with lots of limbs and faces."

「 You'll be much more powerful in the second option, your highness. Plus, you can all have seven demon powers while using only minimum mana. 」

Crocus rolled his eyes.

"I want to be a King of humans, not demons. Plus, I can't accept having an ugly demon face. I bet even more demonic Pride spirits wouldn't like it."

「 To demons, the more head and limbs you have, the more handsome you are. 」

"No... Can... Do... I need to test my powers and release the seven demons outside, right?" 

After all, to Crocus. It's more important to train before jumping into danger and war.

「 Your highness, when you said that you choose the first option, the seven demon spirit eyes already departed from your body. Plus, you don't have the time to test your power, your highness. 」

"It's so fast, I didn't even feel it. What do you mean I can't test my powers?"

「 When you were here talking to me, the seven demon spirit eyes phased through the time-space and already found hosts on their own. And I'm saying you don't have the time to practice because the timer of the 'All system' is nearing the start of the zombie apocalypse.

"How many times have I left?"

「 About 10 minutes and 23 seconds. 」

"May I at least know what the zombie varieties are?"

「 Your highness, you need to improve the level of your cultivation before you know what those things are. 」

"Oh... Shoot... Why not here?"

「 This place's spatial cracks have been replaced by you already and it needs a month before it opens again. Now you need to find another location to play again. 」

Crocus didn't understand what this game dimension is always saying.

"What? The spatial cracks? In the game dimension."

He asked with confusion all over his face.

"You, the user, are fixing spatial cracks that have a high amount of wasted mana. To fix them, the game dimension would create a game sequence or instance for you to complete. Once you beat the game, you have fixed the spatial cracks and have taken the excess mana that is on those cracks."

However, Crocus is not focused on it as he was thinking about how to survive the incoming apocalypse.

"Really? By the way... How can I gain the seven demon sins' power or abilities permanently? And not for the time being?"

「 To have the power permanently, you need to choose a demon that will reach a hundred to gain it permanently. However, you can only copy one of its abilities. 」

"I see. So if I made my four sin demons improve to a hundred levels, then I can have four of them."

「 Yes. However, your level needs to be at least at the same level or higher than theirs to use their powers, or even possess them or control them completely because they can improve their level without them knowing. You are the only one capable of seeing their level once they are tagged as an anomaly. 」

Seeing it all, Crocus couldn't help but feel complicated.

"That's a hard sh*t. Is it possible to lower their level?" 

「 Your highness, you only have 7 minutes to prepare for the apocalypse. 」

"Please answer."

「 It's not possible for your highness but you can improve your level by focusing the experiences on one of them only. 」

"I see, that's good."
