44 [44] Original Sin!
Looking at the enormous giant magic stone, August made a decision in his heart!
Hum~
In midair, the Gate of Babylon opened, and weapons quickly shot through the air!
Ais, who had been preparing to deliver the final blow to Goliath, subconsciously halted her steps upon seeing this formation!
The Elucidator, originally embedded in the magic stone, turned into golden dots and slowly disappeared!
August retrieved the Elucidator from the treasury and immediately launched a second attack!
Goliath, continuously consuming magic stone energy to rapidly recover, had its recovery interrupted by this sudden attack. Following that, the second fatal strike came!
Clang~
This strike targeted the same spot as the previous one!
However, this time, the Elucidator directly pierced through the magic stone. Since the last attack had already pierced it, this one was more than enough to shatter it!
Rumble~
In an instant, the colossal magic stone instantly collapsed, and the entire seventeenth floor received a baptism!
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host, for revealing your edge: killing the seventeenth-floor monster floor boss, Goliath. Reward: Advanced draw once!]
The mission was completed, and the opportunity for an advanced draw was in hand!
Although August stole the monster from Ais, she wasn't angry. In fact, she didn't seem to mind at all!
"Are you okay?"
Ais quickly ran over, looking at August, who was in the midst of ruins but had a smile on his face, and asked!
"I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry!"
"Mm~"
Taking a deep breath, August also recovered some strength and laboriously got up!
The strike that had depleted all his stamina and magical power was a decision August made in the heat of battle!
Looking back now, he realized he was too reckless!
Undeniably, the power of that strike was formidable, but after that, he would have completely fallen into a state of exhaustion!
If it weren't for Ais, he would undoubtedly be dead by now!
[Ding! The first stage tasks are all completed. Reward: Super draw once!]
August was stunned. All the first-stage tasks were completed?
And there was a reward, a reward of a super draw!
This was a super draw, which was above the advanced draw!
This time, it was truly a double stroke of luck, and August was overjoyed!
[Ding! The second stage tasks are now open!]
[Hunting Moment I: Kill 10 level 2 monsters, 0/10. Completion Reward: Normal draw twice!]
[Hunting Moment II: Kill 100 level 2 monsters, 0/100. Completion Reward: Normal draw six times!]
[Hunting Moment III: Kill 1000 level 2 monsters, 0/1000. Completion Reward: Normal draw ten times!]
[Rising Reputation: Reach the thirty-eighth floor of the dungeon, complete mid-term exploration. Completion Reward: Advanced draw twice!]
[Fame Spread: Kill the thirty-seventh floor boss, Udaeus. Completion Reward: Advanced draw twice!]
[Emerging Star: Promote to level 3. Completion Reward: Advanced draw twice!]
Familiar recipes, familiar taste, only the difficulty level has increased by one level, and the rewards have doubled!
Especially for the hunting moment tasks, there were three in total, just like before, killing 10, 100, and 1000 level 2 monsters!
The rewards have all doubled compared to when he was at level 1!
Not only that, having completed all the tasks this time and obtaining a chance for a super draw, August wonders if the characters in the second stage will also double, turning into two chances for a super draw. But that's something for later, for now, August is already feeling ecstatic!
One super draw! One advanced draw! This makes August look forward to it, especially the super draw, wondering what he might get!
"System, give me a draw!"
Unable to wait until later, August immediately opens the system and enters the draw interface!
And so, the familiar roulette wheel turns once again. The first attempt is naturally with the advanced draw, saving the best for last!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining equipment: Zanpakuto - Wabisuke!]
August is momentarily stunned. Zanpakuto? Wabisuke?
This Zanpakuto is recognized by August. It belongs to the vice-captain of the Gotei 13, Izuru Kira! The ability is quite simple: it continuously doubles the weight of whatever it cuts, and the effects can stack!
This ability is powerful, if used well, it can be unexpectedly advantageous and turn the tide of a battle!
Today's luck is indeed good. Considering August's current situation, the thing he lacks most is weapons. With a Zanpakuto in hand, he now has a place in the treasury of the Golden Capital!
Starting off with a bang, August seizes the opportunity and immediately initiates the next round of the super draw!
As the massive roulette wheel turns, August's mood rises!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Original Sin: Lust!]
Boom~
August is dumbfounded. Lust? Original Sin?
[Original Sin: Lust - Heir of the one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Original Sin of Lust. Fully control the sin of lust to inherit the title of Demon King and become the Lust Demon King!]
August is stupefied. This is truly mind-boggling. Lust, the Original Sin! In the future, he can become the Lust Demon King!
Although the name "lust" might sound a bit suggestive, it is one of the seven primal sins of humanity! Moreover, in Western legends, the Lust Demon King is Asmodeus, one of the seven rulers of Hell and one of the seventy-two demons of the Ars Goetia!
Although August doesn't know if his Lust Original Sin can be compared to this Lust Demon King, just having the term "Demon King" means it's not something simple!
Suddenly, a green-glowing emblem appears in front of August!
It represents the Star and Moon - Lust!
In an instant, this emblem integrates into August's forehead!
Then, the phantom of an emblem appears on August's forehead, but it disappears immediately!
From this moment on, August is the successor of the Original Sin of Lust and a candidate for the Lust Demon King!
"Mmm~"
Just when August is extremely excited, Ais, who is beside him, suddenly collapses!
August instinctively catches Ais!
"What happened, Ais!"
"It's nothing, just feeling a bit..."
When Ais looks up at August, her gaze begins to change, how should we put it, it's eager!
At this moment, Ais, who is like a blank slate, is extremely eager to get close to August!
Seeing Ais like this, August understands that this must be something caused by the Lust Original Sin!
Looking at Ais in this state, August starts to suppress the power of the Original Sin!
He likes beautiful women! And he's not particularly restrained!
But August doesn't like to get a woman in this way. For a man, this approach is a sign of inadequacy!
