Shira smiled seeing my expression change as she felt that teasing me was fun.I couldn't help but shake my head seeing her smile, the more I lived with her, the more I understood emotions. However, my expression turned neutral. I did enjoy her company, but I didn't forget my goal...We both had already dropped onto the planet, the surroundings were quite primal, filled with nothing but high grasses and gigantic trees, we had arrived near a small river that was running down a creek, surprisingly there were no natives near this fresh source of water.I and Shira sat near the river's left bank as we watched a few ancient fishes eat each other inside, biting into each other with their oversized sharp teeth, somewhat dirtying the clear river water with blood.We were 'blissfully unaware' of our surroundings as we watched the fish fight for a few minutes before we moved on from this place to another one.We moved through jungles, forests, tall grass areas, and a few underground caves, we ev
After clearing my mental state with Shira's help, I immediately opened the light screen from the alliance membership badge before browsing the available missions there.Unlike those at the academy that were simulated, these were graded differently:It ranged from Green Color to, Yellow, Orange, Dark Orange, Red, Dark Red, and Black.Green Color meant that the failure of the inhabitants to stop hell's descent was relatively fresh, meaning that the demons that resided on the planet weren't particularly strong.Yellow meant that some time had passed since the inhabitants had been defeated and transformed into the demon's slaves, so more sinful thoughts and actions had been enacted, leading to the strength of the demons being higher.Orange meant that the planet was now fully populated by demons as even the enslaved inhabitants had given up on their humanity, slowly being morphed into the malevolent beings that have tormented them for a long amount of time, boosting the power of all the d
The yellow-rated mission was situated in the northern part of the galaxy, while we were currently in the western part. It was quite a long journey to take, even with our current speeds, it would take at least 2 weeks of non-stop traveling. Unfortunately, green color missions were easy to do even for the most basic Alliance member, so the majority of people would take them the moment they were posted, resulting in a shortage of green-rated missions. I guess I could consider myself quite lucky that I have even been able to snatch one green-rated mission. Well, it wasn't like I could improve my soul if I just destroyed planets from above the atmosphere... The green difficulty planets were easy to destroy, but that meant no improvement in the soul department for me. I'm pretty sure those demons at the Yellow difficulty and above should have created some type of barrier or they should have created something else to protect their planet from outer attacks that would end up destroying th
I kept my senses alert and open to any dimensional attacks from The Devil, now that I was on his territory, I needed to keep my guard up 100% of the time.Seeing how I was becoming serious made the green-skinned demon slowly lose his drunken stupor as the bones he used to pin my wrists and legs became sharper and tried to dig into my flesh.But the moment that happened, clanging sounds came from the contact between my metalized flesh and the bones that were attempting to dig into my body.I smiled at his attempt to injure me as I drew the sword out of my armor's storage space.I enhanced the blade with a golden sheen as I slashed forward, sending a flying slash directly toward the green demon who bent his back backward as if he had no bones in his body, barely dodging the flying slash as it flew ahead and cut into the other demons who were fighting with Shira and were unable to get out of the way in time, transforming them into mincemeat.Shira glanced back at me as I shrugged my shou
After the destruction of the first yellow-difficulty planet, we started to travel towards the second one, which wasn't that far from the first one. Shira and I dropped directly through the barrier, creating a crater on the surface of the planet. We looked around as we were immediately encircled by demons, this time around it was just like I thought it would be. Even the 7 sin wielders came forward and started to fight us, using their annoying abilities to keep us in check while the lower-ranked demons tried to exhaust and bleed us out. Unfortunately for them, we weren't dumb enough to come to this place without a plan, plus our strength was quite higher compared to theirs, so it was easy to make them think they were winning at first before dealing them a thunderous blow that made them stagger and lose all of their strength. The encirclement was broken as we killed four of the seven sin wielders, the other three capitulated and said they wanted to become our subordinates, but we h
Shira didn't say anything as we slowly started to float into the air. After we bombed the planet into smithereens, and we found no fragment of a world item once again we slowly began to fly towards the last yellow-mission planet. Shira didn't even look in my direction as she flew slightly farther away, keeping a distance between us. it was obvious she was extremely upset with my words and actions, which would affect her future battle capabilities, and the increasing difficulty of the missions meant that she might become a burden. I did love her, but that didn't mean that I would let her skulk around for the wellbeing of some nobodies that she wanted to save. I knew that Shira's opinion was important to her, but I was unable to accept it, especially since it made her do such useless things. She had gone through such dangerous situations, she backstabbed, and her father wanted to take over her body to complete his power since she has been conceived, and yet, she was still quite pur
Well, the natives could wait until we got rid of the demons in front of us.The canon fodder had already been mostly taken care of, leaving us to deal with the seven sin wielders and the 3 peculiar law users.The sin wielders were easy to guess since we had prior experience with the type of abilities they wielded, the problem was dealing with these 3 new law users.I and Shira nodded at each other in unison, we had to blitz the sin users to lower the difficulty of the fight ahead.I and Shira appeared directly in front of the wrath sin user, hitting him directly in the head with a combination attack.My metalized hands broke his face in while Shira's fiery fists burnt it into cinders, removing his head from his shoulders and killing the demon instantly.One sin down, six to go.Our movements were too quick, but the demons weren't dumb and they understood that we started to get rid of the weaker party to pave our way to victory.So the demons started to pair up, standing back to back.
Shira and I forcefully descended through the barrier after we have finished killing all of the demons.The barrier cracked and broke under our combined weight as we made our way toward the planet's surface.This place was filled with yellowed-out trees, small jungles, and a few deserts, the oceans that were supposed to be more prominent were already quickly losing water as drought was seemingly being unleashed onto the planet by a superior force.I frowned as I could feel that the hand of the devil fragment was at work here, the fragment had two ways to awaken, one, take the seven sins from the demons that had gotten their paws on them while he had been sleeping, which most of the time wasn't possible since the demons wouldn't let their powers be taken willingly.The demons respected and listened to the devil's orders, but if the orders went against what they wanted/needed to do, the demons might refuse them.Unfortunately, for the devil, a fragmented consciousness that wasn't fully a
