Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 165: Compromise(2)

Similarly to the Holy Church, the Demon Cult had also suffered a large number of casualties because of the plan of the Moon King, and with the apparent death of the Demon Pope, there was no one to be in charge.

In such a situation, normal people would have become low-key and hidden themselves to avoid being hunted down, but these demons did the opposite.

Perhaps because of their innate violent nature and their simple minds, these demons, even the most powerful ones, had been surprisingly active and kept making trouble all over the kingdom.

Of course, Chu Wuyao wasn’t complaining.

Not only were these powerful demons a source of Sin Points and a way for her to practice to increase her proficiency in the Blood Essence Analysis skill, but they could also work as part-time test subjects for her experiments.

The more of these demons there were, the more happy Chu Wuyao would be!

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao didn’t hesitate and with a serious expression, she started conducting her experiments.

A few hours later, when Chu Wuyao was done for the day, she took one last glance at the bloody giant snake on the ground, walked out of the cell, and locked the door behind her.

Then, she didn’t rush to leave the underground prison, but turned around and walked deeper.

After she had walked thousands of meters and passed by countless empty cells, Chu Wuyao finally arrived at the end of the prison and stopped in front of a certain cell.

There was a young woman who was sitting cross-legged inside the cell, and from the fact that she was the only person imprisoned in this place, her status in Chu Wuyao’s mind was evident.

Although Chu Wuyao didn’t try to hide her arrival, the woman didn’t raise her head to look at her, nor did she show any reaction at all.

Instead, she continued sitting with her eyes tightly closed, with a pale face, while she gritted her teeth.

Opening the door and stepping in, Chu Wuyao looked at the woman in front of her, and her pupils suddenly shone with a strange light.

The next moment, it was as if she was able to see through the very essence of this woman, and her eyes landed at a dark space, which was the place where the woman’s soul resided.

As she looked inside, Chu Wuyao saw a scene that would have shocked most people.

The woman’s soul space, which should have been calm, was actually extremely unstable and was shaking violently as if it was about to shatter.

This was because of the two illusory figures that were fighting at the very center of this space, bringing destruction to the area around them.

One of these figures was a young woman, who wore a long dress, while the other one was a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression.

The two people’s illusory bodies collided many times inside the soul space and it was clear from their expressions that they would not rest until their opponent was completely wiped out.

"Bang!"

The man punched the woman in the abdomen and she was knocked back as a result of the force.

In a hurry, she tried to regain her balance, but a complicated red rune suddenly flashed in her pupils, causing her movements to become a little sluggish.

The man didn’t waste this opportunity and appeared in front of her, turning his hand into a fist and punching her again, sending her flying.

"Boom! Boom!"

The man continued punching her, knocking her all over the place and beating her up like a sandbag.

When she saw this, Chu Wuyao knew that if nothing changed, it was inevitable that the woman would be the loser of this battle, and would most likely end up being killed by the middle-aged man.

She knew that if this were to happen, the woman’s soul would be completely wiped out, and from then on, this body would belong to the middle-aged man.

This meant that the two people’s battle would end with the death of one of them, as it was the only way for the other person to survive.

In fact, this situation was quite similar to when the Moon King got into her soul space and tried to possess her body, except that Chu Wuyao had the strength to easily wipe him out, while this woman couldn’t deal with her opponent and was even at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, and watching the woman getting beaten up, Chu Wuyao didn’t rush to take action but chose to continue observing first.

Although the current situation seemed serious, as this was a fight between souls and none of them had an overwhelming advantage over the others, the winner wouldn’t end up any time soon.

"Boom!"

Time slowly went by and as the fight continued, the two people’s conditions got slowly worse.

Even then it was fairly obvious that the middle-aged man’s condition was better, as even though his soul had suffered some damage, he was still relatively fine.

On the other hand, the young woman could hardly hold on anymore and her soul had become extremely dim, like a candle that was about to go out.

When Chu Wuyao saw the woman’s expression become filled with despair, she finally decided that it was time for her to take action.

Stepping closer, she reached out and grabbed the woman’s hair, before pulling her up.

When she brought the woman’s face closer, she leaned down towards her ear and whispered in a low voice:

"Are you sure you don’t need my help and you want to continue fighting on your own? You know, as long as you agree to my conditions, I can help you get rid of him."

"Isn’t it better to live than to die, even if that is through making a compromise? Why do you want to waste your future?"

Chu Wuyao’s voice echoed in the woman’s ears, her voice gentle and her tone soft.
