Seven Sins System Chapter 279. Luci's Fury

"Then who?" I asked, my voice tinged with urgency and concern.

Lily's eyes widened in exasperation as she pointed to the puppet. "That's Luci! He is showing his disguise abilities to us!" she said, her annoyance evident. Luci, the lord of pride who was part of our close circle. So, it was normal for him to visit the palace.

"Oops..." I muttered, my face turning pale.

Lily, Ivy, and all my women immediately got up from their seats, their movements quick and synchronized, as if they had rehearsed this scenario countless times. They stepped aside quietly, leaving a wide berth between them and the scene unfolding before them. As for Lily and Ivy, it was not the first time they had witnessed my Gluttony tentacle’s raw power and Luci’s wrath, and they knew better than to interfere.

With a flick of my wrist, the monstrous mouth of Gluttony opened wide, and Luci was forcibly expelled from its depths. He tumbled across the floor, disoriented and gasping for breath, as he reverted to his own form. My tentacle retracted back into my body, its job done.

Luci’s presence was both captivating and intimidating, leaving those who beheld him in awe. With six magnificent wings of a demon, each adorned with intricate patterns that seemed to shimmer in the dim light.

His black hair cascaded down his shoulders in waves, framing his striking face. Two devilish horns curved gracefully from his forehead, adding to his enigmatic charm. Despite the elegance of his appearance, there was a sense of untamed wildness about him, as if he were a force of nature not to be trifled with.

Dressed in a stylish suit that would have been the epitome of sophistication under different circumstances, he looked every bit the charismatic gentleman. But now, the once-impeccable fabric of his attire was marred by the telltale signs of my tentacle slime, so he was kinda in a mess-up state.

His normally stern expression had changed into a grumpy scowl, and his demon-red eyes glared at me with unmistakable anger.

'Oh, shit…' I cringed inwardly as I quickly hid my tentacles behind my back. The last thing I needed was to further escalate the situation. The demon before me was not one to be trifled with, and my reckless actions could have dire consequences.

“Uh… Hi, Luci. It's nice to see you! You look great," I said with a forced smile, trying my best to appear innocent and nonchalant. I took cautious steps toward him, my heart racing with anxiety.

Luci's devilish red eyes bore into me, and his aura exuded a mix of anger and suspicion. There was no fooling him—he knew exactly what I had done. His six majestic wings twitched with irritation, and the horns atop his head seemed to sharpen with displeasure.

Before I could offer an explanation, he shot me a glare that could send shivers down anyone's spine. His anger was evident, and I could only hope that my charm and wit could somehow defuse the situation.

“Um… I'm sorry. It was just a misunderstanding, okay?” I said quickly, trying to sound as apologetic as possible. "I didn't mean any harm, it was just a harmless prank, you know?"

His lips twisted into a scowl, and I could sense that my attempt at an apology was falling flat. I realized that this situation might not be as easily resolved as I had hoped.

Luci crossed his arms over his chest, a clear sign of his displeasure. "Harmless prank?" he repeated with a snort. "You think it's funny to have your tentacles biting me?"

I winced at the reminder of my previous actions. "Okay, maybe it wasn't the best idea," I admitted. “But hey, shit happens sometimes.”

“Right…” The air crackled with tension as Luci's anger seemed to reach its boiling point. Before I could react, he lunged at me with a speed that was almost inhuman. His six wings unfurled, casting a shadow over me as he descended upon me like a vengeful deity.

"Wait, Luci! I didn't mean to..." I tried to reason with him, but my words fell on deaf ears. He was beyond listening, consumed by his fury.

In a desperate attempt to defend myself, I summoned my tentacles once again. But this time, they weren't playful appendages meant for harmless pranks. The tentacles surged forward to meet Luci's attack, the blades ready to strike.

Without a word, Luci raised his hand, and a wave of searing flames erupted from his palm. The inferno roared towards me with intense heat, threatening to engulf me in its fiery embrace. But I was prepared. I summoned my Sloth tentacles, positioning them in front of me as a barrier.

The Sloth tentacles shifted into a defensive stance. They absorbed the brunt of the inferno's impact, protecting me from the scorching flames. The tentacles vibrated with energy as they struggled to contain the force of the attack.

"Is that all you've got?" Luci taunted, a wicked grin spreading across his face.

I gritted my teeth, refusing to back down. "Oh c’mon, I already said sorry," I retorted, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins.

Luci's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his fists. "Prove it then. Show me that you are sorry. Fight me," he challenged.

"Fine. Prepare yourself," I said, my voice tinged with determination.

With a surge of energy, I unleashed my Sloth tentacles from their defensive stance and turned them into my Wrath. They shot forward like lightning, striking the ground around Luci with precision. The ground trembled under their force. They swirled around me like a tempest, crackling with power.

"You asked for it," I said, my eyes narrowing as I focused my energy.

In an instant, the Wrath tentacles shot forward, colliding with Luci's inferno. The clash was intense, the air crackling with energy as the two forces battled for dominance. But I was determined not to be outdone. I poured every ounce of my energy into the attack, pushing back against Luci's flames with all my might.

The spectacle drew the attention of my women, who watched with awe and concern from a safe distance. Lily and Ivy used their barrier skill to ensure the battle stayed in that room.

With a final surge of power, I managed to overpower Luci's inferno, extinguishing the flames and leaving him stunned. I stood there, panting and covered in sweat, but victorious.

Luci's eyes widened in surprise, but a slow smile spread across his face. "Not bad," he admitted, the taunting edge in his voice.
