Chapter 13: The Seven Demon Kings: 'Sloth'
Arpeggio City, 'Glass Dream' on the 37th floor of the Top Star Tower.
"Then I'll take 'Dantrian' away first, sister 'Saigong'."
The rabbit-eared girl led Heshia away from a bar counter. The cabinets inside the bar were filled with famous wines of various styles. A mature and elegant maid from the Horned Tribe waved to the two of them.
Although they seemed to be very different in appearance, the maid with horns and Heshia were both human beings, but the former was a subspecies called orcs.
After humans came into contact with extraordinary power, various extraordinary races were born. They were all branches of humans, such as the various subspecies of the orcs, and elves and fairies, which were even more advantageous than the original humans, but overall humans still dominated.
"Sister Saigong is from the Horned Tribe, and she is a very powerful bartender. She is also a master of the original Sequence 4. If you are bullied by customers in the future, you can come to Sister Saigong for help." Belfinger told Heshia the key points of working in the store.
"However, 'Danterian' is still young. If Sister Sergio gives you a drink, don't drink it. You will get drunk easily." The bunny-eared girl seemed to pat her chest with lingering fear.
"I'll remember that." Heshia nodded, and the white cat ears on her head also trembled, giving people an unusually cute feeling.
"Well, although it's still the first day, I have already felt the charm of 'Danterian'."
"Okay, let's continue now. I think who is more free at this time?"
"Let's go and see what 'Decrabi' is doing." The bunny-eared girl pondered for a while, then took Heshia's hand and trotted to a corner of the hall.
After a while, the two came to a circular transparent compartment, whose overall shape was similar to Ω. There were many horizontal branches hanging in the space, and colorful birds of paradise were resting on them. Sitting in the middle of the circular space was a petite girl. She was wearing a snow-white dress, her eyes were slightly closed, her hands were clasped together, and she seemed to be praying for something. There was also a faint big five-pointed star in the middle of her forehead.
This five-pointed star is not a painting of colored ink, but a kind of pale golden light that almost emanates from the body, which has a kind of sacred beauty.
"'Decarabia', here I come." The rabbit-eared girl broke the original silence as soon as she entered the circular space.
As if she was a little helpless, the girl sitting in the middle opened her eyes, and the birds of paradise that originally perched on the horizontal branches in the space also flew together, spinning in the sky and making various chirps.
She loosened her clenched hands and gently shook the bell hanging on her side, and then the birds of paradise in the sky also fell again and landed on the horizontal branches.
"You are here."
"Yes, I brought 'Dantrian' to familiarize myself with the environment today. She is a new companion."
"Is that so... Hello, my name is 'Decarabia', the 69th demon god, but I only came two months earlier than you."
Decarabi (Decarabia): The 69th demon god among the 72 pillars of King Solomon, with the image of a five-pointed star and the appearance of a human. Good at judging the quality of gems or birds, and can transform into a bird for the summoner to drive.
"Dekelabi has a high affinity for birds, and is also a rare Light Feather Sequence. It can be said that she is the most angelic among our demon maids." The bunny-eared girl introduced Heshia.
As she spoke, the bunny-eared girl pulled Heshia and the girl in the white dress to sit together. The other party also took out a few biscuits and snacks from the cabinet at the bottom of the wall and placed them on the table.
"Sorry, I didn't prepare anything delicious." Her voice was very light, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"It's okay." In fact, Heshia was a little hungry at this time, after all, she didn't have lunch.
The three of them ate snacks and talked about some things in the store.
"When Rabbi first came here, I also took care of her. At that time, she was more timid than 'Dantrian'. She kept hiding behind me and didn't dare to talk to others..."
"But she is very talented. She is already a Light Feather Sequence 3 at a young age. But she is a little genius in our city. She should be the same age as Heshia."
Then Belfinger asked the two about their ages.
"I didn't expect that 'Dekelabi' is younger than 'Danterian'."
Heshia tilted her head after hearing this, "Is this really not considered child labor?" There are restrictions on minors working in the Federation, and they must be at least 16 years old.
"That's what you say, but rabbi is only a month or two away, and it's legal now." The bunny-eared girl waved her finger, indicating that it was not a big problem.
After that, the few people continued to chat for nearly an hour, and gradually became familiar with each other.
Although Heshia and the girl in the white dress didn't talk much, they had similar personalities. It seemed that they didn't need to say too much about many things, and they could quickly find common ground and share the same feelings. It was like meeting a soulmate.
"Sure enough, you two will get along very well." Belfinger nodded, feeling that he had a unique vision.
"Okay, it's time now, I have to go to work." The bunny-eared girl stood up.
"Want to come and see, 'Danterian'~"
"Me? Yes, but I don't know how to help."
"It's okay, just stand aside and cheer me on." After that, Belfinger pulled Heshia up and waved goodbye to the girl in the white dress.
"Come again next time, Dekelabi~"
Then, the two left in a hurry, leaving Dekelabi sitting at the small white table.
"Really..." Dekelabi shook her head, but seemed to be accustomed to the style of this senior.
She clapped her hands, and the bird of paradise perched in the ring wall flew down, pecking the remaining biscuits and crumbs on the table one by one, and then picked up the tablecloth, put it on the shelf beside, and rearranged it.
After cleaning, Dekelabi tiptoed lightly on the ground, and then her body floated up like a feather, and landed on the main seat of the entire ring space again.
At this moment, she is the owner of this small white feather church, listening to the troubles of each guest, like a pure and flawless young angel.
————
On the other side, Belfinger's exclusive work area, or game area.
In the blue transparent compartment, a dozen guests are walking and waiting.
"Why hasn't Bunny come today? I'm so anxious."
"Isn't Bunny sleeping in again today?"
"I'm still waiting to play against her. You know, this is the deck I've been fine-tuning for weeks." A fat uncle pushed his glasses.
"My sword can't stand it anymore. Last time I played a simulated battle, I was beaten badly by her chaotic cloak hammer. This time I must get revenge."
"How about we play a game first, otherwise it's too boring to wait." The young man squatting in the corner stood up.
"Although it's okay, I still want to save my first time for Bunny."
"Tsk, it's really disgusting, no, you are really good, talking about playing games so elegantly."
...
"Hey, I'm here~" The person hasn't arrived yet, but the sound is heard first.
The exquisite little leather shoes kicked on the smooth ground, and then jumped high. White socks, lively white streamers, and sassy maid skirts, Belfinger did a flexible forward roll in the air, and then landed steadily on the ground, with his hands flat, like a brave man.
"Ah, it's Bunny."
"Good job, Bunny."
"Sister Beibei is finally here."
The guests gathered around, and then Heshia carefully walked into the game area and stood in the corner to observe.
"Who wants to challenge me today~" As he said that, Belfinger took out a large copper coin from somewhere, raised his thumb, and the copper coin flew into the air and kept flipping.
"The same rules, 1200 federal coins per time, double it if you want to renew your life, but no more than three times."
"I'll do it, I'll go first, I'm the first one to arrive." The middle-aged man raised his hand.
"Okay, Uncle Mu."
When the flipped coin fell, Belphegor flicked his middle finger and flew straight to the middle-aged man, who grabbed him in his hand.
"This uncle got there first again, damn it."
"Doesn't he have to go to work?"
"I heard that he was very fierce when he was working, and helped the newly established company to succeed. Then he resigned with a large dividend when he was 40 years old."
"He said that he made enough money, and he won't get married anyway, so he can use it to play for the rest of his life."
"I'm so envious..."
On the other side, Belphegor and the middle-aged man entered the battle field, and the others watched the battle from the side.
"Take a good look, this is my newly formed 'West Wind Legion' deck!" As he said, the man inserted a stack of cards into the battle device on his arm.
[Battle begins, first round]
"On my turn, summon 'White Horse Recruit' 1/1. When it enters the field, it will attack immediately, but it cannot attack the main combatant. But it doesn't matter. For every three 'White Horse Recruit' that enter the field, you can draw a Hero of the West Wind from the deck and put it into your hand, and reduce the cost by 1."
"Oh, a rare card that allows you to select and filter cards." Someone commented quietly.
The card game that the two people in the field are playing is a long-standing and enduring game in human civilization. During its long period of popularity, it has undergone several revisions and changes in the rule system. Now it has become a battle game with infinite possibilities. The characters and arms that appear in the game are all characters from the past history or mythology, full of the charm of time.
"Oh, it seems that the uncle is very confident." Belfinger sat on the box opposite the field, looking at the cards in his hand with interest.
"But you can't beat me just by drawing powerful cards."
"On my turn, I place the ritual card 'Flag of the Chieftain of Gufia'. This card lasts for three turns, and each turn it will randomly summon an Orc Servant Card."
"First, let me see what I'll draw today. My origin is rabbit. If it's rabbit-eared, you're doomed, uncle."
Inside the venue, a large flag with animal fangs in a wild style fell from the sky and inserted into the ground of the green grass. It then fluttered in the wind, and countless cheers and voices rang out. Then a blurry figure walked out from a distance and came to the front of the flag.
"Bristle Warrior, 1/2, the target who attacks this servant will receive 1 damage."
"This is a perfect counter to 'White Horse Recruit', it seems that the uncle will lose a lot of blood in the early stage."
"But, it has just begun, let's keep watching."
Is this a card battle? Heshia sat in a corner on one side, watching the two people fighting in the field. In fact, she had seen her classmates talking about it, but this kind of battle game is still a bit luxurious. It costs a lot of money to open a card pack, and only a few people in the class can try it.
...
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the middle of the battle.
"Humph, it's my turn, summon 'Quenching Battle Veteran'!"
After saying that, a warrior wearing armor full of scratches and potholes stepped into the battlefield. His hair was gray, one hand was holding a helmet, and the other hand was holding a flagpole.
"When 'Veteran of the Tempered Battle' enters the field on 3/5, summon two 'New Soldiers who Admire Legends' on 1/2, and then I summon 'White Horse Recruit', plus the one 'White Horse Recruit' on the field, a total of five followers."
"So, I use the effect of 'Great Hero·Lagfengs'. When there are five followers in the West Wind camp on the field, they enter the field immediately without any cost!"
"Come out, the heroic horse on the battlefield, the hero of dawn cheered by thousands of people, Lagfengs!"
The war horses neighed, and the illusion of countless soldiers emerged on the battlefield. They held high their weapons, white and red streamers and flags. Amidst the flowers and cheers, an extremely tall hero rode into the field on horseback. His figure was majestic, he held a huge spear, and he was wearing a dancing red cloak, which was dazzling.
"'Big Hero Lagofengs' can attack upon entering the battlefield on 8/10, and can ignore the guardian effect and directly attack the main combatant. When it attacks, all the minions on the team gain +1 attack power."
"Although other minions cannot attack directly now, Lagofengs alone can cause a lot of damage to the opponent."
"Bunny's health has dropped by half, and now it is only 4 points. It's dangerous. On the other hand, the uncle still has 10 points, and the old soldier has the guardian effect."
"Oh, that's it. I saw you hiding for so long, and I thought you were some powerful guy." Belfinger lifted one leg and started drawing cards.
"It's my turn, let me see... It seems to be OK."
"What's OK?" The uncle on the opposite side was puzzled.
"Ah, she said, it's OK."
The bunny-eared girl jumped off the box, and she put the cards into the dial as she walked.
"I activate 'True Red Blood Moon'. When this card enters the field with less than 5 HP, it recovers 3 mana when it enters the field, which means it is not consumed."
'True Red Blood Moon', Blood Eye Series minions gain +2/+0.
"Then, I summon two 'Blood Eye Rabbit Ear Warriors' 1/1. When each enters the field, I deduct 1 HP, and then gain the ability to attack upon entering the field."
"Now my HP is only 2." Belphegor blinked, with a smirk on his face.
"Then I summon 'Bloodstained Executioner Alia'!"
The dark mountains and forests appeared on the battlefield, and then the picture kept expanding, revealing the huge full moon with magic in the sky. A figure wearing a black windbreaker hood suddenly jumped out of the forest, and then kept getting closer and bigger. Its graceful figure danced in the air, and the huge sickle held in both hands also reflected the cold light in the night sky.
Finally, it landed in the black forest grass, slowly stood up, revealing the bright red pupils under the hood that seemed to be burning, and the magnificent red color was breathtaking in the shadows.
"'Bloodstained Executioner Aaliyah' enters the field on 7/5, kill an enemy minion. If the HP is less than 2 points, kill all enemy units."
Scarlet sickle scratches tore through the space, and the uncle's minions and heroes fell down and dissipated, and the field was empty.
"But this is not enough, let's start resonating." After saying this, Belphegor covered one eye, and the other eye pupil changed from the usual brown to burning red, just like the 'Bloodstained Executioner Aaliyah' on the field.
The magic power of the blood pupil sequence rose from her body, strands of red magic power boiling, and the characters on the field also changed.
The wind was flying, and the black hood slowly fell off, revealing long black hair and a pair of long black ears. The clothes and weapons on her body became more and more exquisite in the evaporation of blood-red magic power.
"When the main battle resonates with 'Bloodstained Executioner Alia', the character can gain the ability to directly attack the enemy main battle, without waiting, and the attack damage cannot be reduced."
"You lost, uncle." Belfinger, who was very similar to the Bloodstained Executioner in front of him, swung his arm.
The three figures on the battlefield attacked directly, and the blades cut through the uncle's body, and the strong wind brought about scared him to the ground.
[-3, -3, -9, Mu Lengxin's life is zero]
[The battle is over, Belfinger wins! ]
The light in the battlefield is lit again, and the original characters and venue illusions are instantly gone.
"She is the only one who can play the Blood Eye Sequence deck so well."
"Although some rare cards have additional resonance effects, it takes extra talent to activate them."
"Some people say that when you can perfectly activate the effect of a Mythical Rare card, it means that you have a high adaptability to the brand pattern of the card, and you can easily advance to the relevant extraordinary job in the future." "
Although this rumor is suspected of exaggeration, no matter what, Miss Rabbit will achieve a lot in the future."
"After all, 'Bloodstained Executioner Alia' is a perfect-level card of Blood Eye Sequence 7..."
"As expected of the battle queen of the Topstar Tower, Miss Belphegor, the 'Sloth' of the Seven Deadly Sins!"
It turns out that this plain-looking bunny-eared maid who receives guests in the lobby is a big shot in the Topstar Tower. It
was not until now that Heshia gradually realized the status of the bunny-eared girl in the store. No wonder her code name is 'Belphegor', which is the 'Sloth' among the seven demon kings.
