Chapter 21 The Seven Sins Verdict: The Second Eating Contest
Mina, who was guilty of the sin of greed, looked solemn.
As a little devil who fought her way up from the lowest level of hell, the slums, she always felt that her greatest advantage over those noble devils who were born high and mighty lay in her willpower.
Damian's achievement of climbing the ladder to the top has made her realize how foolish and ridiculous her previous ideas were.
What terrifying willpower!
Even when I was in middle school, I studied for ten hours a day and slept for less than eight hours, I still felt far inferior to myself.
He must study for a full twelve hours every day and sleep for less than seven hours!
Bove, suffering the sin of sloth, was still sleeping, only now she was lying down instead of standing, snoring softly...
As the sin of gluttony, Axel pondered silently what kind of purgatory he would have to endure to forge the willpower to resist the demon king with the body of a mortal demon.
Even as a descendant of a sinful demon, having grown up in the arena of sin and experienced countless battles, with his hands stained with blood, he was completely no match for his opponent.
Axel was unaware of this, but silently etched the name Damian into his heart.
Of the seven deadly sins, only Raphael remained standing there, gazing up at the sky.
He still seemed unable to believe his eyes.
Raphael had anticipated that Damian could reach the fourth floor just like him, after all, the other party was a demon chosen by Lady Alicia, but reaching the tenth floor was just too exaggerated!
That was the Demon King's oppressive aura!
Wait a minute, if Damian has that kind of willpower, then his previous actions of taking care of me while I was unconscious couldn't have been about winning by pleasing me; perhaps he was genuinely acting out of kindness...
The blond boy unconsciously clenched his fist.
at the same time.
The top of the valley.
Click.
"Kids these days are really something else!"
Caroline put down her camera and exclaimed that even she, as a high-ranking demon, could not resist the pressure from the Demon King, yet a mere mortal demon had managed to do so.
"I can't wait to see the moment he awakens to his rank. He might even awaken directly as a rank four ministerial demon."
Melchior said with anticipation.
Then, their eyes simultaneously fell on Sean, who was trying to snap his fingers and sneak away.
"Director Sean, shouldn't you keep your promise?" Melchior said in a teasing tone.
Being able to kick the academy director's head like a ball was quite a bit of fun, even for a high-level devil like him.
"Teacher Sean, although I don't really want to do this... but in order to prevent you from breaking the contract, please do it as soon as possible," Caroline urged.
"Okay." Sean sighed.
"Behold my decapitation magic trick!"
The magician placed his hands on his neck and pulled his head off with a forceful tug. Then, the headless body carefully placed the head on the ground.
He was greeted by two shoes that came flying at lightning speed.
boom!
Damn, you guys really kicked it!
...
The Climbers' Abyss.
With his hair disheveled and looking somewhat disheveled, Sean returned to the bottom of the valley.
"Seven Sins Judgment, First Sin: I declare Damian the victor," Sean announced, putting his top hat back on.
"Raphael, do you have any objections?"
"No." The blond boy snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
After all, he had personally witnessed Damian climb the ladder of will step by step, and Sean, as a high-ranking devil and the referee, would never cheat.
"Very good, then it's time to move on to the next level."
Snapped.
Sean snapped his fingers again.
The next moment, after a dizzying sensation, everyone was back in the magnificent school auditorium.
This time, however, only Sean, Damian, and Raphael were on the central platform.
The magician silently produced a black and white magic wand, and with a gentle tap on the ground, two oak tables laden with delicious food appeared.
A golden-brown, juicy roasted turkey; legs brushed with honey; rows of neatly arranged pink lamb chops sprinkled with rosemary and black pepper; and golden, crisp cream puffs overflowing with snow-white filling...
A variety of delicacies were piled up like small mountains, glistening enticingly under the dome lights, filling the air with a rich aroma.
咕咚
The moment Damian smelled the aroma, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Since being tricked by Sean and taken to the Demon Realm, he hasn't eaten a single bite of food.
Although he didn't feel much hunger, probably because he had taken the life potion, the feeling of an empty stomach was really unpleasant.
Now that he had suddenly seen so many delicacies he had never eaten before, Damian felt that if there weren't thousands of demons watching him from below, he would have lost his mind and pounced on them to devour them.
"The Seven Deadly Sins, the second duel, the Gluttony Contest, the winner is whoever eats the most food within thirty minutes of suffering," Sean said.
"Damian, Raphael, do either of you have any objections?"
Damian nodded vigorously. Even if he lost the duel, he would accept it as long as he could eat so much delicious food!
After a moment's thought, Raphael agreed.
In hell, the desire for food, which symbolizes the sin of gluttony, is also part of desire, and often the stronger a devil's desires are, the greater his potential.
Therefore...the ability to eat is also a common test for devils.
"Three, two, one, the match begins!"
Swish.
The moment Sean finished speaking, Damian lunged at a table like an arrow released from a bow.
He completely ignored the cutlery laid out, picked up a small lamb chop sprinkled with rosemary with one hand, and tore off a large, golden-brown chicken leg with the other.
Oily meat juices spilled from the boy's lips, but he didn't even bother to wipe them away, already joining the next battle.
The sight of this starving ghost in its gluttony shocked almost all the demons in the hall, including Raphael, who was standing nearby.
He never imagined that Damian, also a member of the devil aristocracy, could be so unrestrained in front of thousands of people.
"Isn't he a nobleman? How can he be so rude!"
"Wow, it's like they haven't eaten for ten days. I really suspect that if I got close, I'd be eaten like a steak."
"If you ask me, I think Lord Damian's ruthless pursuit of victory is what makes him a true master!"
Although the demons had some reservations, most of them still praised Damian.
After all, for the devil, failure is the greatest disgrace!
At the same time, Raphael, realizing what was happening, rushed to another table and, imitating Damian, picked up the steak with his hands instead of a knife and fork and started eating it.
As a descendant of a demon god, his appetite far exceeds that of ordinary demons.
If he were to truly indulge in a full-blown binge, Raphael didn't think he would be any worse than Damian.
"It's so delicious! It's so delicious I'm almost crying!"
The black-haired boy, who had never eaten anything good before, was so moved he almost cried.
"This tastes awful. Teacher Sean must have just randomly taken some food from the cafeteria."
The blond boy, who had been pampered since childhood, secretly felt disgusted.
