The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Wasn't it said... it couldn't be destroyed?"

How could they be wiped out so easily?

He was beheaded with just a single swing of his sword?

It seems that this is somewhat different from what you said before...

You old fool, are you trying to fool me again?

However, unlike the young man who was looking at him with suspicion, the big man was now calm and collected, curiously watching the scene.

"Ahem, isn't this over yet? What's the rush?"

"If lust were so easy to eradicate, their cult wouldn't have been remembered by so many people."

"Just wait and see, there will be more changes later."

The fact that the Seven Deadly Sins Order is not just a small group that he casually mentioned, but that it is still remembered hundreds of years later, speaks volumes.

He was curious about how the swordsman would finish things off.

Some things cannot be solved by brute force alone.

Indeed, it felt good to kill her with a sword, but what happened afterward?

Lust cannot be completely eradicated; it will always revive and become even stronger.

This is why the court simply imprisoned her instead of killing her repeatedly to wear her down.

It's pointless and could lead to uncontrollable risks.

"is it?"

Looking at the arena with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, the young man gazed at the imposing figure that was drawing all eyes, and said somewhat uncertainly:

"But why do I feel like it's already been resolved?"

With that confident demeanor, could he really not guess what was going to happen?

That sir couldn't possibly be completely unaware of this; he must have his own solution!

The burly man glanced at the young man strangely, then narrowed his eyes and looked back at the swordsman, clicking his tongue as he said:

"Maybe."

Splash splash splash...

Just then, the headless corpse of Lust, who should have been dead, suddenly moved, causing the chains to make a slight clanging sound.

!!!

The atmosphere became strange.

After recovering from their initial shock, many people realized the predicament Ning Feng was facing.

"Does that mean it's not resolved?"

"Swordsman, surely you hadn't thought of this?"

"I don't think a legendary expert would act so impulsively, would he?"

"Who knew, last time I saw a legendary figure wearing a black mask sneak away, mmm mmm mmm..."

Ignoring those whose mouths were physically sealed by some unknown force, everyone who came to witness this trial was waiting.

The blind man didn't express his own thoughts; he just stared at the swordsman's back with a strange look, as if he had sensed something.

In the corner, a figure wearing a hoodie smiled.

"...Hehe, you really gave me a fright. I didn't expect you to be such a reckless guy."

"He's just a reckless fool who's only interested in immediate gains."

"It's time."

After saying that, he nodded silently in one direction.

Then, something unexpected happened!

"Swordsman!!!"

The loud shouts drew everyone's attention, and an adjudicator sitting in the front row angrily stood up and walked from his seat into the arena.

What are you doing?

"Your reckless behavior will not eliminate [Lust], but will instead make her even stronger!"

Like a defender of the faith who is undaunted by the challenge to his beliefs, the tall judge, with obvious anger, asked in a furious voice:

"Do you realize that you've crossed the adjudicator's bottom line?!"

Public opinion shifted as everyone observed this dramatic scene, sensing something unusual.

Faced with a barrage of questioning and confused gazes, the swordsman remained unmoved, maintaining his previous sword-holding posture.

Finally, he slowly straightened his arm and pulled the longsword out of the ground little by little...

And change began at that moment.

"This is!?"

The burly man stood up from his seat, staring in shock at the scene unfolding before him.

"...How did you do that?"

How did he do that?!

……

……

Lust is waning.

She fell into darkness.

That was the hell she deserved.

However, this hell looks too empty.

Only darkness.

An endless, consuming darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, a seductive voice drifted from afar.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a woman was chuckling softly.

"Ha ha……"

She smiled:

"How thoughtful! They even prepared snacks for us!"

The falling soul finally stopped, and she landed on a warm patch of ground.

Looking up helplessly, Lust saw two scarlet suns.

The sun, gleaming with a dangerous light.

"Lost little one, are you willing to accept this ending?"

That wasn't the sun, and what was beneath it wasn't the ground.

Those were eyes, those were palms.

The disparity was so exaggerated that it was so enormous that it inspired resistance, leaving no room for any thought of rebellion.

What can extinguish the plague?

What can dissolve an immortal spirit?

The answer...

It is a desire even greater than that.

It is neither abrasion nor dissolution.

It is to devour.

Her lust, which she considered boundless, was utterly insignificant in the face of true desire.

It's like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, without causing the slightest ripple.

Lust makes me feel like my self is being destroyed...

At that moment, a seductive voice echoed in my heart:

Do you yearn to truly live?

The voice was seductive, trying to drag lust from one abyss into an even deeper hell.

Do not……

I don't want to...

Spare me, all I want right now is to die...

Resisting, resisting the voice with lust and fear.

"Give up? What a fragile soul~"

"How boring! Compared to him, of course."

Somewhat regrettably, the woman in the darkness laughed and gave up the temptation:

"Well, no one says that you have to fight to be right."

"Since you crave death, I will mercifully grant you eternal slumber."

"This is only because you and I share a slight common origin."

She felt a cool sensation on her forehead, and the next moment, she felt everything inside her body being rapidly drained.

Soul, consciousness, pain... and sin.

"We can't let him bear such a sin."

Lust felt her soul being gently drawn away and merged into the endless ocean.
