'My grudge with Ricardo Phobious won't end. He who was able to overwhelm the natural power of demons, to incarnate in another body... I won't forgive him. And so, he shall taste the wrath of Greed.' 

Greed has been smiling nonstop since then. It had already been a few days since his initial plan to attack a great pillar in Phobious Territory, Phlabian City. And just as his plan was over and he was ready to proceed to the next phase, he couldn't contain his joy.

"Master. Please calm down." One of his fingers said. 

His fingers were all now completed. Ten strong individuals were in front of his throne in a small village away from Phlabian City. 

He raised his eyebrow as he heard a questionable remark from his servant.

"What did you say?" Greed glared at the Finger who asked him.

Suddenly, the Finger that asked him half kneeled.

"Forgive me, Master. I, Greed of Peace, wasn't used to your joy. I crossed the line. Please punish me."

Greed just looked at him with amused eyes and just laughed.

"Forget about it. You are truly funny, Greed of Peace. I couldn't think that you, who love peace, had so much hidden within you that even dared to question his master."

"Please forgive me."

Greed just looked at him while his Finger was kneeling before him.

There was no particular thought within his mind that went against his Finger. And so, he just scoffed.

"Stand up. As your punishment, I order you to take over Phlabian City."

Greed can control the monsters because his mind control power is already unlocked.

With the help of his other Finger, Greed of Hunt, he was able to gather such a plentitude of strong monsters from the whole territory.

He didn't expect that when they visited a nearby territory, he would find such a greedy human. And as payment for taking over the body, he controlled the whole land of his vessel and used it for his plans.

"I accept the punishment, Master." Greed of Peace said and then left in an instant like a shadow that disappeared when lit.

Greed just smiled and then looked at his Fingers.

"All of you, you will block the routes. Humans won't be able to escape. This will be the first step to taking over Phobious territory. After that, take the village near Phlabian City and bring them all to me so that I can control them. That's for you as well, Control."

"Yes, Master" answered by the Greed of Control.

'This will definitely be too painful for you, Ricardo Phobious. My pride as a mighty Sin won't be trampled after this.'

Aaron asked Cules to scout the area around the city. When he returned, he listened to Cules's report.

"Grooohh! Graaahh!"

Aaron nodded as soon as he patched up everything he learned from Cules.

He looked at Ellena with a grin on his face.

"They were unexpectedly thorough. They blocked the routes, so technically, we are surrounded. And also, a nearby village was attacked."

Ellena just clenched her fist and stood up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" Aaron asked.

"I can just sit here. I will go to that village and try to save them. Please, don't stop me," she said, with determination behind her words.

"You can't. It will be too late and will be futile since another wave will soon attack the city."

And just after hearing it, Ellena stopped walking and turned to face Aaron.

"Are you sure?" Ellena hesitantly asked.

"Yes. Please keep in mind, Ellena, that saving is not just saving everyone who is in danger. Save yourself first before you save everyone." Aaron said as he thought that Ellena was starting to be driven by her emotions.

"Sorry. I wasn't used to this. I thought that after Thalia's situation, I would overcome my fear." Ellena expressed it depressingly.

"It's okay. At least for now, let's prepare. I will cast a huge dome of barrier around the city, so try to take over the chaos from outside." As Aaron suggested, the city's current state was currently in chaos and people were panicking about how to escape death.

"Okay, so please tell me if you find anything from above," Ellena said, then left the house to walk through the plaza.

Aaron just sighed after nodding to Ellena's request. And just as Ellena left his side, he opened the Trader System.

[Community]

Anonymous#120: What's happening? Why did some demons suddenly attack?

PoorGuy: Huh? Why though? Are you worried about them?

Anonymous#120: No, I am not. I am worried about my income since they are using plenty of S-rank monsters and above.

PoorGuy: I see. Maybe it was Sin of Greed. Lately, he asked for his mercenaries to go to that side but was wiped out. Maybe he thought that mercenary demons were weak compared to abundant S-rank monsters.

Stone: Kekekekek! Sir Greed is amazing!

PoorGuy: I hope your income will come back soon, brother.

Then he closed the window of his system.

'So it was Sin of Greed again this time? Perhaps last month's threat that escaped was from him. But the chance is still slim since it was stupid and compared to his plan today, it seems like that came from a different person.'

Aaron thought of it deeply as he assessed things within his grasp. Just as he was done with some minor details, he took the tracking device.

[Demon Tracking Device]

[11 kins nearby!]

From the small radar device, small dots appeared in different locations. Just as Cules's report said, they were surrounding the city.

'This means Sin of Greed is eager to take over the city, huh. I guess it won't be too bad if I kill them one by one.'

Aaron smiled as he flew straight to the skies of Phlabian City. He then looked below and picked a spell from his Magic System.

[Grandiose Dome of Protection!]

Just as he cast the spell, the premises of Phlabian City were covered with soft yellow light. Everyone looked at it from different perspectives. Others panicked, while others were relieved.

"What was that?! That light covering the sky!"

"Oh God of all, please protect us."

"That's a barrier! Trust me. I have a protection magic ability, and that is the same with my ability!"

"Really?! Does that mean someone used their ability to protect the whole city?"

"It's impossible if it's an ability. That's too huge! Maybe it's an artifact!"

"Right! That's reasonable!"

Aaron just nodded then followed his eyes to the blue light that was walking down the streets in the plaza.

Ellena was wearing her mask, and just a few people were at the plaza, preparing for an attack; she gathered all of their attention.

"Please everyone, calm down. That light you are seeing is from an artifact that the Murphey family and I planned for. It will protect us, so please don't leave the city since it will be dangerous outside."

Ellena continued taking their ears and gained the trust of the people to leave things to them. As Ellena already knew there was something in Aaron's head, she just put her trust in Aaron to overcome the chaos.

'True to their name. Dimensional chaos...' Aaron thought before he left the city and then searched for the demons that appeared on his radar.

After a few minutes, he saw one with a group of monsters surrounding him. It was a man but Aaron knew that it was an incarnation of a demon. And so, without wasting any time and worries about the surrounding, he dropped a speel on it.

[Mega Blast!]

A loud explosion revibrated the whole surrounding. There appeared a crater on the ground as well as the disappearance of the demon that Sin of Greed felt.

[You killed the Greed of Control! As a reward, the production time of [Self-healing Body Formation] will be reduced by 1 day.]

[Remaining time: 41 days]

Aaron was surprised by the notification. It was as if the system was built to hunt demons. And just as he wasn't expecting that it will give him freebies, he joyed over it.

'Now! Now! I will find the next after this monsters below.'

He continued bombing the area until the last monster left.

"Next!"

He flew diligently and moved to the next location with giggles.

"Greed of Control died?" he mumbled irritatedly, his veins on his forehead were popping.

"How could this happen? There's no way that they'll-! Don't tell me... That one who massacred the mercenary in some called Humban City was in the Phlabian City?! If it was that person, it was possible since I didn't see anyone who could kill demons with ease."

"Shit!"

Greed was all over mad at what just happened the next second. He felt another soul break from his connection. Not just broken, but the entire presence of the soul disappeared.

"Now, Greed of White and Greed of Black died?! Just how could this be happening?! That person killed my parasite, now killed three Fingers of mine?-!"

It didn't end there. As if a massacre was happening again, in the next few seconds, another finger died.

He suddenly became silent as he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

"Kekekeke... You are testing my patience. Then, I will have no choice but to kill you!" And just with that, the numbers on his Fingers dropped to three.

'That person killed my Fingers.... He won't be an easy foe, but I will show that person that he dared to play with the wrong demon!'
