Seven Sins System Chapter 106. The Demon King's Worries

It was midnight when I came back from the library. So far I had found three summoning formations after I checked the dozens of absurd items scattered everywhere. I found lipstick, a small mirror, a comb, socks, a box containing a lock of hair with the words 'I love you' and even panties! All of them were in the gaps between the sleeves. At least the cleaners had to move the shelves before cleaning it or they had to slip their hands to reach it all.

Back in my room, I put my find on the desk and sat in my chair. One of them was a formation on a sheet of paper that looked brand new and the others were two Ouija Boards. But this time the boards were smaller. Just like what the trio found, all of them mentioned The Ancient One and it had my summoning formation. Like before, I had also made sure there was no summoning formation other than that. Not like what I found near the fence.

'Why me?' I asked myself. There were seven lords of sins yet all the formation was only for summoning me. Another guess crossed my head.

'Did the culprit already know my identity?' I thought. I was deep in thought again. This time I couldn't get rid of that guess, but on the other hand, it didn't look like it.

'No… maybe what he/she knows is half of it.' In other words, he/she knew it was me, the Lord of Wrath who came to this realm, but the culprit didn't know my fake identity!

'Wait for a second… Doesn't that mean the culprit can't enter my Shadow Space?' I tried to analyze it again. The culprit didn't know my face while I never covered it when I was fighting in the Shadow Space. This meant I could confirm the culprit was not a demon or angel. He/she was a mortal.

'What a mortal wants from me?' I thought with a frown. As guesses and analyses ran through my head, I took my phone from my drawer and checked in case my dad had replied to my message. Unfortunately, even though he had read my text, he didn't reply to me.

"Seriously?!" I couldn't hold my complaint. My head felt like it was about to explode with all this mystery. Moreover, no one could tell me the answer or give clues that could help me to find it. What I found was just another question.

I huffed in annoyance and tossed my phone into my drawer. I pinched the bridge of my nose before I slowly closed my eyes and took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down. I was in the mortal realm. If I couldn't control my anger I would end up losing control of myself and destroying those around me. Well, I didn't know if it could happen to me after I accepted this system, but the old me could do that as far as that.

Once I opened my eyes, I felt better. Not, completely, but better. I decided to go to bed and wish I could think more clearly about everything tomorrow. Better, my dad could give me a clue or two about that Ancient One thing.

'I think that's for the best,' I thought before I went to the bathroom to wash my face and hit the bed.

Diablo's PoV

Once he opened his eyes, Diablo found himself asleep on his desk inside his office.

'Ah… crap. I fell asleep.' He lifted his head from his desk which was covered in messy documents. A tower of the cup was on one side of the desk. Previously, it was a common sight in Azrael's office, his son, but since Azrael was on the mission, Diablo was the one who had to do all this.

His half-opened eyes swept around him. His thoughts were still blurry. His hand scratched his messy hair even though it didn't itch. He didn't know what time it was, but he was sure he'd been asleep long enough.

'Right, I forgot. Azrael texted me.' He remembered that he opened the message yesterday but closed the app before he read it since he was too sleepy.

He took his phone from the drawer and reread it. His eyes widened. His sleepiness immediately disappeared once he read the text.

'They call him The Ancient One? Have they found the truth?' he thought. His heart was beating fast in a panic since he knew Azrael wasn't ready for that truth. That was why he always hid it. At least until Azrael could control the power of the seven sins.

That truth was the reason why Diablo went for 'sexclusion' for a hundred years. It was because he had to make the special seven sins seed so that Azrael could control the hidden power within him. That seed was far more powerful than what the king of the shadow realm used to pass down from generation to generation. That was also the reason why the seed stripped down Azrael's power once he received it, unlike the normal seed's reaction.

Diablo was sure that Azrael would not be able to handle his hidden power if he only relied on his Wrath power. Besides that, Wrath power was a bit imbalanced. If he received too many emotions, Azrael would end up losing control of his powers again. Still, it was a lot better than being powerless. Since his hidden power could control Azrael if he didn't have his own power. So it was simply either the power that controlled Azrael or Azrael that controlled that power.

That was also the reason why Diablo decided to make a peace agreement with the light realm several hundred years ago. He knew if he insisted on continuing the war, the power within Azrael would awaken prematurely and it would be a disaster for the three realms and Azrael himself. So even though it was hard, Diablo decided to swallow his dignity and submitted the agreement.

'Anyway… I need to explain to him,' he thought. But of course, he didn't plan to say all of it.
