Divine Protection: The Pride System

Episode 39: The End of an Organization

In a dark room, there is only moonlight that gives light to the room through the sidelines of the window.

A blazing fire stood in the middle of the room. It was the silhouette of a beautiful woman.

Patrecia Van Strovius, the current generation Holy Sword Hero was pondering something while frowning.

—{What is he doing?}, Rogant who just tilted his head in confusion.

He looked at the pensive Holy Sword intently as he stepped his feet silently to approach it.

However, as expected of the Sacred Sword. He soon realizes Rogant's whereabouts and turns his eyes away.

“Ah, Rogant, are you done? Are you okay?”

“Well, I'm fine. What about over there?... I thought you'd be okay.”

Patrecia smiled and chuckled as she heard Rogant sneer, she spoke with dignity depicting the soul of her knight.

“Yeah, like that. If you're okay, that makes me so relieved. But..”

He frowned and gazed towards the corpse that was beneath him, Rogant also followed his gaze.

It was the corpse of a man who had escaped according to the memories Rogant had stolen from the remains of the previous organization.

He approached towards Patrecia and asked with a gentle smile.

“What's the problem, Patrecia?”

It was a gentle pat to resuscitate Patrecia back to the real world.

His face was slightly troubled, Rogant was puzzled trying to figure out the meaning of the Sacred Sword's reaction.

However, Patrecia immediately spoke with a wry smile.

“Rogant, have you seen it too? Somehow, I am a little uncomfortable with this situation.”

Rogant's eyebrows shot up, he still didn't understand. But, Patrecia immediately gave him a glance with a short sentence.

“... >Seven Deadly Sins<”

Now Rogant's eyes widened in shock at the words that came out from the mouth of the Sacred Sword.

“If this is just my hunch, then I can ignore it. But, unfortunately this keeps me thinking as I look at the situation that is happening here.”

“What do you mean?”

“They all went crazy and killed each other. How many times do I think about it, it still doesn't make sense.”

Patrecia's tone became serious as she began to make speeches.

“You know, I've seen something similar like this before. That's when I went to >Temple of Life<”

Rogant's mind immediately caught the word 'Temple of Life' coming out of the mouth of Patrecia Van Strovius.

This was his chance to get information about the >Temple of Life< from the Holy Sword.

Well, but for some reason, Rogant did not expect that the Holy Sword would give him directly before he could ask.

Though he intended to get closer to Patrecia and ask her himself.

However, now he himself intends to tell Rogant. This is his luck.

Patrecia continued to speak while smiling faintly, seeing that there was sadness in her eyes as she began to speak.

“When I was sent to the kingdom to go to >Temple of Life<, I was not alone at the time. I was accompanied by some knights, they were assigned to carry things. It was normal at first, but as we went deeper into the forest again, hunger began to haunt us.”

“Hungry feeling?”

Rogant repeated those words, Patrecia gave him a soft nod with a wry smile and continued.

“It's different from ordinary hunger. It felt really terrible, the knights who were starting to starve started to eat everything around them. Even they ate each other, it was truly the worst. Then, when I saw the events that happened in this mansion, I became reminded of that. I feel the same way as the one in >Temple of Life< and as I know who can do it all just >Seven Deadly Sins< only.”

Rogant agreed with that opinion, after all what caused the chaos in this mansion was himself who used Unlimited Skill >Sinner Authority< to strengthen all the feelings they craved.

That is what caused this chaos and more importantly he was also one of the Seven Great Sins that bore the sin of Pride.

What puzzled him, however, was why the Holy Sword had speculated that this was all the deeds of the Seven Great Sins.

Has he met the Seven Great Sins before? Rogant had never heard of such information.

“Why do you think these are the Seven Great Sins?”

To find out the answer, Rogant had to ask. He looked straight at Patrecia.

Knowing herself at such a gaze, slightly embarrassed Patrecia, she glanced at Rogant and gave her gentle smile, she said,

With a dignified voice, he replied.

“Well, did you know about the destruction six hundred years ago, Rogant?”

“Hmmm, What is the meaning of the war against the Great Sins of Gluttony? That's if I know.”

“Ah..”

Rogant's mouth was gaping, he immediately understood what Patrecia meant.

He was right, before Rogant had heard such information from Kizuna.

... The one about the death of one of the seven great sins that took away the sin of Glory.

He did say that the Temple of Life was the tomb of the Great Sins of Gluttony.

Therefore, the demonic beasts that were there were more and more vicious than usual.

Why could he forget such a small thing?

Was it because he thought too much about the white-haired girl who resembled Pandora, that he forgot this little thing?

Rogant may need a break before he leaves for his next trip.

“But, wait a minute. Isn't the Great Sins of Gluttony dead? Then why is his strength still left?”

Rogant was right, the Great Sin of Gluttony is dead, but if indeed the story of Patrecia is true. Then it will come down to speculation that the Great Sins of Gluttony are still alive.

“No.”

Rogant's thinking was immediately rejected by Patrecia's unequivocal answer.

“The greed is dead, but the hunger is still alive, that's in my opinion.”

He immediately gave his reason. Rogant thought seriously about it.

If the opinion of Patrecia is correct, then this will come to the conclusion that the Great Sins of Gluttony still roam the forest of the Temple of Life.

Or rather, we call it poison. The poison that was released from the body of the Great Sins of Gluttony was still spreading and making all those who were afflicted with it go mad with true hunger.

Rogant's body shuddered with goosebumps after thinking about it, but there was a strange excitement forming in his heart.

He smiled trembling. Once again, Night Rogant learns about the horrors of his own existence.

>Seven Deadly Sins< is the true manifestation of true chaos.

“I understand, thank you for the interesting information, Miss Holy Sword.”

“Ahaha, stop teasing me. By the way, Rogant, after this where do you want to go?”

“Umm... Maybe I'll go home. Much work to do.”

“So yes, what a pity. I hope we can meet again next time.”

There was sadness in the words of Patrecia, but she quickly recovered her grief.

Rogant could only give her a gentle smile and a small laugh.

“Yes, I hope we can eat together next.”

“Alright, that's good, I'm looking forward to it. If, you need my help, don't hesitate to call me.”

“Ahaha, well, for now I have no problem having to make Holy Sword-sama intervene.”

Rogant brushed aside the words Patrecia with courtesy and jokes. It made Patrecia laugh a little.

His behavior according to Rogant was a little cute, but, he immediately swallowed his words.

If he said so, he was afraid of insulting the soul of the female knight before him.

After that they split saying 'See you', each of them has different differences and different goals.

This way the entire organization in the mansion has been destroyed made by two people.

They destroyed the entire organization in just one night and the story ends here.

Well, unfortunately it's still not. There's still one more thing to do.

When Rogant intends to return home, he decides to stop by somewhere first.

It was a basement, inside the room were two silhouettes that had been there for a long time.

One was a little girl in a black robe and the other was a beautiful woman with nine tails behind her and wore a temple girl outfit.

“Yo, Meily, Kizuna, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Rogant greeted the two of them with a gentle smile, then his gaze changed towards the man kneeling on the floor with a body trembling in fear.

Seeing that, Rogant immediately sat cross-legged on the chair while staring at the man with one eye closed.

“Alright, sorry to keep you waiting too, traitor boss of the organization.”

He is Terota Bizel, the former boss of the organization that was destroyed by Rogant and the Holy Sword.
