Overlord: The Path of Sin

World Enemy - The Deadly Sin of Lust

Lucian pressed [Yes], and the door before him slowly swung open. Instead of immediately stepping through, he decided to prepare himself by equipping his gear and weapons.

First, he summoned his Bleeding and Crying Scythe and a unique staff. The staff resembled the slender branch of a delicate tree, with ethereal vibes spiraling around the handle. At its top, a green crystal stood firmly, and at the opposite end, another small green magical gem glowed brightly.

[Weapon Name: Ivyweave]

Type: Weapon

Description: A world champion class weapon, crafted for the player [GudetamaNani] by Yggdrasil's developers in recognition of their victory in the Vanaheim World Tournament. This item is now owned by player [LuciLuci].

Skills/Abilities: |Nether Thorn| |Absent Mana| |Ivy Bloom| |Druid Construct| |MP Enhance| |MA Enhance| |Wave of Ivy| |Bloom Defense|

Lucian had acquired this staff from the Vanaheim world champion, even though he was a warrior class player, he requested for this magical staff, because his intention was to sell it. Lucian paid an exorbitant price for it, as it was listed for sale on the Yggdrasil Wiki. Lucian's high bid shocked many, making them question why anyone would invest so much in a weapon, even one of world champion class. Nevertheless, this staff specialized in enhancing magic attack and MP, although it paled in comparison to the boosts provided by his Valkyraes.

Oh, boy, Lucian, you're in for quite a shock...

Lucian was also clad in the World Champion-class gear that Suzune had gifted him. This golden armor featured intricate details, gleaming with a brilliant gold hue, and adorned with patches of red here and there.

With his preparations complete, Lucian gazed at the door bearing the symbol of Lust. He slowly reached out, touching the doorknob, and turned it, causing the door to creak open. Without hesitation, he stepped through the doorway and disappeared from view.

As soon as Lucian passed through the door, it vanished, leaving nothing behind.

*****

Lucian stood within a seemingly endless, straight black staircase. Along each side of the staircase were the Cardinal Evil Sins - Lust, the very ones he had sacrificed earlier. They stood there like statues, eerie and unmoving.

Lucian glanced at the rectangular screen in front of him, which displayed:

[Place: Stairway of Devotion | Type: Boss room]

"This is creepy," Lucian muttered to himself. As he began ascending the stairs, he noticed that the cardinal sins' eyes followed his every movement, tracking him. It sent shivers down his spine.

Continuing his climb up the seemingly infinite staircase, Lucian saw no end in sight.

After 20 minutes of relentless ascent, he finally arrived at a pair of doors. Each door bore an inscription: one with indecipherable gibberish, and the other with his in-game name, [LuciLuci].

"This is really giving me the creeps," Lucian muttered, feeling his hair stand on end and a shiver run down his spine. He had never expected that this world enemy would employ such a method to incorporate his profile into the event.

As he ascended the stairs, Lucian counted each one, noting that there were a total of 350 stairs, the same number as the 700 Cardinal Sins of Lusts he had sacrificed. If you count one on each side of the stairs. It seemed more than just a coincidence, and he couldn't help but wonder why.

"Let's just face the world enemy and be done with it," Lucian said to himself as he touched the door.
