Divine Protection: The Pride System
Episode 25: A Life of Anger
—Kingdom Hero Lavendel.
A Kingdom that was in the western part of the continent, and also one of the Kingdoms that had a long history.
Six hundred years ago, this Kingdom had experienced a great war against one of the great sinners.
Sinner known as >Mother of Demon Beasts<, one of the Seven Great Sins that bear the sin of Gluttony.
It was a war between humans and demonic beasts, the greatest destruction that changed the entire world.
According to history, as a result of the war, the Kingdom suffered losses and casualties that were beyond estimate.
The war was named as >Great Demon War<, a war that continued for decades.
However, the war ended with the victory of the Kingdom of Lavendel.
All because on the side of the Kingdom had the 1st generation Holy Sword Hero, Draak Van Strovius.
The Strovius family is a family whose every descendant they have always blessed with >Unlimited Bless: Sword Saint<.
They are the US cards belonging to the Kingdom of Lavendel to win the great war.
But, even though the great war has ended. There were still many remnants of demonic beasts roaming everywhere.
Thanks to that, Lavendel Kingdom is known as a nest of demonic beasts.
Because they have more demonic beasts than with the other Kingdoms.
Many people refer to it as the remnant of the Chaos of the Seven great sins.
Even though the war is over, everyone is still frightened by an existence called >Seven Daily Sins<.
[... Well, that's the legend, Eras-chan!]
—In a dark forest, the silhouette of a little girl sitting.
She has bright blonde hair with angry red irises, and wears a robe that looks dull.
The little girl named Eras was currently sitting on top of a pile of corpses of hundreds of demonic beasts.
The corpse of the demon beast had different sizes and types, some like wolves, bears, scorpions, and others.
The scene looked very creepy, yet there was a bit of unique beauty to the scene.
The little girl sitting on top of the pile of monster corpses, that was something you could rarely see.
After which, Eras casually stood up and jumped off the pile of corpses.
“Burn everything.”
A moment after Eras said that, the corpses of the demonic beasts were burned away by the flames of Anger.
There was nothing left, the entire body of the poor demonic beast was charred and became scattered black ashes.
While Eras indifferently ignored him and returned to walk through the forest.
[Gyahahaha, Eras-chan is really cool! It's stunning! Just incredible! and ridiculous! Yeah yeah, that's how Eras-chan is. Everything was filled with anger, everything was filled with madness, it made me so excited!]
The noisy voice that appeared inside Eras' head was like a loud cry with the voice of a woman who was a little crazy.
However, Eras did not respond at all. He just snorted in annoyance and continued walking.
As Eras stepped step by step through the dark forest, something floated before her.
It was a thin slab that glowed dark red.

...--[>End<]--...
After looking at the status board that only Eras could see, his expression did not change at all.
[Oi oi, Eras-chan, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Are you hurt? Are you already ruined? Are you really like that? Are you mad? Gyahahaha, take it easy I will always be with you, all for the sake of your anger. So talk to me about something, what's your problem?!]
The voice from the Wrath System that sounded crazy and noisy was interfering with Eras's mind, but he did not care at all.
He just sighed and said with a flat expression.
“No. It's just that it feels hard to smile.”
Those were words that came out of his heart, empty words that had no particular intent.
However, even so there was a hint of sadness in those words.
In the past, she was just an ordinary country girl you could find anywhere. He smiles, he plays, he learns, and does a lot of fun...
But, everything has changed. Ever since the rotten demon that came to his village brought true despair.
Everything has been destroyed, everything has been burned, everything has disappeared, and everything has come to an end....
His normal life was gone, now he was filled with madness and anger.
He had decided to avenge himself to the bajing*n which made things go awry.
He's learning how to survive, he's learning how to kill, he's learning how to use weapons, and he's learned a lot of new things.
Everything was for the sake of killing the rotten demon that had snatched everything away from him.
“It's been three years since then, and I've also been strong enough now.”
Is he still doubtful? Eras lowered her face as she said that.
[Gahahaha, stupidity! The insanity! The anger! The past! Revenge! Everything is so silly and passionate! Take it easy, Eras-chan. As long as there is me here to support you, as long as you have anger and madness, everything will be fine, it will be fine, because everything will be fine! Eras-chan is a >System Seven Daily< user who carries the sin of Anger, don't you think?]
“I hope so.”
Eras only answered briefly from the words of the Wrath System that were full of strange confidence.
His laughing voice sounded as if he was cursing and mocking everything and everything he hated.
The words he uttered seemed to belittle and trample everything and everything he liked.
Hatred, anger, loneliness, sadness, personality Wrath System as if to describe >Eras Schoon< itself.
It irritated him a little, but he would usually just ignore the words the Wrath System said.
Not that they have a very close relationship or anything.
Eras only considers the Wrath System as a useful tool for her revenge.
After all, he had to immediately kill the rotten demon that had made himself become this chaotic.
“That foul devil must perish.”
After Eras declared that, a moment later a demonic beast lunged at him from behind.
“Grooorrrr–!!”
The roar from the demonic beast made Eras a little surprised, a claw immediately approached Eras' body.
The tree that was around there was destroyed when it was hit with the claw of the demonic beast that missed.
Immediately taking a fighting position, Eras took something from within >Inventory<.
It was a whip. The whip was about ten meters long and had a dark black color that gave off an aura of death.
The demonic beast that looked like a giant bear with a black body was slightly frightened when it saw its whip.
But, the demonic beast braced its mentality and once again lunged towards the body of the little girl.
However, Eras nimbly dodged him, he leaped up and down from one tree to another at a frightening speed.
Seeing that, the demonic beast could only fall silent while waiting for an opportunity to attack.
After that—
“Stupid basis.”
—A fire appeared and burned Eras' whip.
But, Eras still remained calm even though throughout the whip it was enveloped by a terrifying fire.
“Groorrr–!!!”
The demonic beast roared expressing fear with a burning fire.
Eras who was still jumping up and down to outwit the demonic beast strengthened her movements and lunged at the demonic beast.
He raised his fiery whip and slashed at the back of the demonic beast.
Although the wound given is very small, but it soon enlarged and enlarged.it is Eras's Unlimited Skill >Sinner Authority<, which is Reducing and Enlarge.
Next he used the Unlimited Skill >Cursed Fire< to burn the demonic beast with the flames of anger.
The fire was spreading all over the demon beast. He screamed in pain and he roared with anger.
The demonic beast danced miserably while burning all over its body.
However, Eras did not care about it at all. He only with a cold gaze continued to witness the suffering of that demonic beast.
[Gahaahaha! It's burning! It's burning! Burning with the fire of anger! And scorched into disgusting black dust! Very awesome! Everyone is so excited! Eras-chan is really crazy!!]
The sound of the Wrath System continued to buzz loudly inside Eras' head, he frowned as he listened to it.
They've been together for three years, that's a long time to be good friends.
However, despite that. Every time Eras heard the Wrath System, she always felt irritated by its nature.
They really can't get along with each other, too much to question for them to get along with.
When Eras heard the Wrath System speak, she always let out a heavy sigh and narrowed her eyes, then said something in her heart...
... It's disgusting!
...---[★★★★★★]---...
—After Eras finished killing the demon beast, he immediately went home.
Eras currently lives in the Royal Capital of Lavendel, where she takes care of herself independently.
Although it was a little difficult at first, but now he was completely used to it.
He was now staying at an inn that was inside the Capital with good facilities. It's something you can be proud of.
However, Eras did not think about it at all. As long as he had shelter and food, then everything was fine.
After all, his life purpose was only to avenge him.
He had also enlisted himself as a mercenary to provide for his own life.
“Better I shower immediately.”
After sniffing his body, Eras said something while frowning.
He was currently inside the city and leisurely walked through the crowded crowd of people towards his inn.
As he continued to focus himself on his current state, he suddenly heard the sound of people shouting loudly.
“Meily not a child–!”
His eyes widened in shock, Eras was completely incredulous of what he had just heard.
His heart skipped a beat filled with worry, his mind became empty filled with confusion.
Soon his gaze turned towards the source of the voice, but he could not find the culprit at all.
But, she clearly heard it, she heard it very clearly the name of her precious friend.
“... Meilii... Chan...”
Eras pronounces the name of her best friend, she immediately runs with mixed feelings looking for the person.
Looking to the right and to the left, Eras ran around the city looking for someone who had just shouted the name of his best friend.
He ran and ran while imagining the face of his best friend, if he could he wanted to see it once more.
It is true that at that time the rotten devil did not kill Meily, his best friend.
So she always told herself that Meily must still be alive somewhere.
During these three years, Eras could not stop thinking about his best friend.
How's it going? Is she okay? Did he not suffer with that rotten demon? Is he still living healthily? Can he take care of himself?....
Question after question kept haunting Eras mind as she thought of her best friend, her tears dripping out her longing feelings.
He wants to meet his best friend again, he wants to laugh with his best friend again, he wants to play and do something with his best friend like he used to.
He had imagined it hundreds to thousands of times, he really wanted to meet his best friend again.
“Meily-chan! Lily-chan! Lily-chan! Where are you?! It's me Eras! Please answer me, Meily-chan..!!”
Eras continued to shout while searching around the city, yet she did not find him at all.
He ran and ran while mentioning his best friend's name.
She cried so pitifully hoping to meet her best friend.
But he didn't find it, he didn't find it, he didn't find it, he didn't find it...
Nothing, he can't find it anywhere. Before he had actually clearly heard it, it was the name of his best friend.
Was it just a misunderstanding? Is it just someone else's name that is similar? No, who cares about that!
If he is not his best friend, then he needs to find his own. Although the possibility was very small, he had to look for it.
He had to look for her and find her, but he did not find her at all.
Eras kept looking for him everywhere, but he didn't find him, he didn't find his best friend at all
Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where's she? Where ishe?...
... Where's Meily?
Even though Eras had searched for him everywhere, he had not found him at all. Meily is nowhere...
After that—
“Sial! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Where are you... Meily-chan?”
—Eras fell, his head hit by the hard ground. He crawled around very pitifully, tears welling his face.
He could not find his best friend.
[Gahahaha, pathetic! Very sad! Everything is so sad! Stupidity, this is stupidity! The stupidity of my master toIoI! Rise Eras-chan! There's no point in you looking for him! Everything was over, everything had ended up being burned by the flames of anger!!]
