Empty Vessel

Seven Sins System Chapter 217. Empty Vessel

I reached out my hand and gripped his head, feeling the energy coursing through his body. It was like nothing I had ever felt before, a dark and twisted power.

"Envy..." I muttered.

I delved deeper into Gem's memories, it was like wading through a swamp, murky and unclear. It was a tangled mess of emotions, desires, and thoughts that made my head spin. It was clear that Gem was no longer in control of his own body.

Sifting through the memories, I tried to find a way to uncover the truth behind the demonic power that had taken over Gem's body. As I searched, I noticed something strange. The memories seemed to shift and change as if being tampered with. It was as if someone, or something, was trying to keep me from discovering the truth.

His mind was a tangled mess, a labyrinthine maze of memories and thoughts that seemed to defy all sense of order and coherence.

Normally, when I read someone's mind, it was like flipping through the pages of a well-organized book, with each thought and memory laid out neatly in sequence. But with Gem, it was like trying to read several books at once, all jumbled up and overlapping each other in a dizzying array of confusion and chaos.

I felt myself getting lost in the maze of his memories. One moment, I was reliving a vivid scene from his childhood, the next I was plunged into a nightmarish realm of demons and darkness, my realm. It was as if Gem's mind was a living, breathing entity, constantly shifting and morphing like a kaleidoscope.

But despite the overwhelming complexity of his mind, I refused to give up. I knew that there was something important buried deep within Gem's memories, something that could help me to solve my mission.

I focused my mind and pushed through the resistance, determined to uncover the truth, Unfortunately, despite my attempt I failed. It was as if there were several entities within the Gem's body. One was Gem and the others were demons. And strangely these demons weren't high-level demons or powerful demons. They were simply monsters in the shadow realm. They were demons. The type of demons who often tried to escape to the mortal realm in the past were targeted by demon hunters and warriors. So, it was hard for me to find what I wanted to know.

After struggling with Gem's chaotic memories for some time, I finally opened my eyes and looked at him with a frown on my forehead. I couldn't find any useful information in his memories.

I couldn't help but mutter under my breath, "What the fuck?"

This was certainly not what I had expected. But now, since he had fulfilled his purpose and was no longer of any use to me, I knew what I had to do. I was about to crush Gem's head with my tentacle, but my senses tingled with a warning. I quickly turned my head, my eyes scanning my surroundings, and my other tentacles unfurled in preparation for an attack. I could feel the presence of something moving quickly on either side of me.

The tentacle on my right side swung with a violent force, thrashing everything in its path. The wind created by the movement was so strong that it made my hair and clothes flutter. The tentacle landed on something, or rather someone, and threw him away with a rough toss. The impact of the throw sent the person crashing into a nearby wall with a loud thud. The wall cracked under the impact, and rubble rained down from the ceiling.

At the same time, I quickly extended my hand to my left side, where another attacker was attempting to ambush me, and used my skill. I could see a blur of motion as he came charging toward me.

A powerful barrier appeared. The barrier shimmered into existence, forming a translucent shield that blocked the attacker's weapon from hitting me. I turned to the other side, to see who my other attacker was.

"I certainly didn't expect this," I muttered. It was Gem's subordinate. The one I just killed.

It was like nothing I had ever encountered before. This being resembled an undead creature with its sunken eyes, pallid skin, and gnashing teeth that seemed to thirst for blood. But there was something different about this creature. While a typical zombie would move with sluggishness, this creature moved with an incredible speed that took me by surprise.

He clawed at my transparent barrier, ramming himself into it with a ferocity that suggested that he would stop at nothing to get to me. I could see no consciousness left in him. It was like his body had been overtaken by the remaining demonic power, leaving only a shell of his former self.

But I didn't just see the physical form of the undead, I saw the energy that enveloped him. It was a chaotic and twisted mix of demonic and mortal energy, like a raging storm that threatened to consume everything in its path.

Also, I could see his soul struggling to break free from its decaying body. But the demonic energy was like a tight, unbreakable grip that bound the soul to the rotting flesh. It was as if the demon had taken control of the body and refused to release it, even in death.

The soul within the undead's body was clearly in agony.

"What pitiful creature…" I spoke in a clinical tone, my eyes locked onto the undead. "You chose power, but now you can't escape even from your own body."

Of course, I immediately realized that rather than attacking me, the undead was actually angry and raging because he wanted someone to help him extricate himself. He was pleading for help, begging to be freed from the demonic curse that bound him.

"I will help you then," I hissed, my tone unwavering. I knew what I had to do.
