Chapter 169 – Battle
The whole city was encased within a red wall, as if we’re inside the belly of a living creature.
[It’s already begun. Now how will you two stop us?]
I was able to share Greed’s memory and knowledge thanks to Crossing.
(Shinn, he is…. He is trying to pry open the door to his land by using the people of Hauzen above ground as sacrifices.)
[You just have to busy yourself fighting Myne. In the meantime, I’ll use your loved ones as sacrifices to further my goal.]
[Don’t mess with me!]
[Isn’t this what you do best, Gluttony? Killing people makes you stronger after all, am I correct? Right now, what I need for the last push to open the door is a good amount of human souls.]
[Useless. I’ve been working hard toward this for such a long time. Do you think such attacks will be able to stop me? What can an indecent woman who’s only good at charming others do?]
When I tried to move to stop Shinn, Myne was there to block me.
[Your opponent is her. Don’t forget, Gluttony. Mortal sin skill holders should try to get along with each other.]
Eris shot faster, but all it did was impeding Shinn slightly. Her firepower was lacking to truly stop him.
Even so, time was still ticking. I need to disable Myne as soon as possible.
[Myne!]

(Wrath skill is entering its next phase. Just like Gluttony skill, Wrath skill causes the holder to become stronger the more angry they are. Along with that, heart and sensation will continue to be dulled down. At some point it’ll be impossible to snap Myne out of it.]
[How long till Myne truly lost herself?]
(You should’ve known this already. Myne had no sense of taste. That was the effect of Wrath skill. She lost her sense of taste when she rampaged a long time ago… But perhaps she actually lost more than that already.)
It was almost the opposite of me, who lacked speed and relied more on simple but strong attacks.
Unable to keep up, I was forced to be defensive.
[This is bad!]
(I know you don’t want to hurt Myne, but we can’t stay like this either. I’ll revert back the black sword’s sharpness)
[Don’t. I’m here to stop Myne, not to kill each other.]
(You’ll become her training sandbag at this rate.)
[Still.]
(If you don’t do anything, you’ll end up like them.)
(She’s always been like that since the past. Always looking after for others without hesitation.)
There was a reaction. Myne’s grip on Sloth loosened down.
(If we can keep this going, she’ll soon drop Sloth.)
[Yeah.]
[Wha!?]
Myne certainly wouldn’t miss such an opening.
It was too late for me to dodge, so I could only defend with the black shield.
(This is bad. If she uses Sloth’s secret once more, you’ll be done with.)
With one arm disabled, it’ll be hard for me to keep fighting.
This secret move was supposed to be able to reflect an attack back to the enemy by two folds.
[What!?]
Yes, it’ll depend on power.
Which one has more power between Myne’s 《Noir Destructo》 and my 《Reflection Fortress》…that’s all there is to it.
[We’ll lose…]
(Fate, release the Gluttony skill!)
[Luna, please help me!]
Seeing the barrier, Myne stepped back.
[Myne, just like I said, I’m not fighting alone here.]
[Luna…]
Despite being engulfed in Wrath’s skill, the name of her sister still leaked out from Myne’s mouth.
