Sin of the Protector

The moment I learned oof her location, I rushed to get to her. Part of my recklessness came from the emotions the system forced onto me, causing me to throw all caution to the wind, the other part came from the fact that I was extremely worried she would get eaten.

I didn't even wait for Nagi to tell me what danger was awaiting me. I didn't care.

I subconsciously used the earth under my feet to move faster manipulating it to push me forward everything my feet pushed down on the ground.

When I finally arrived, a group of Wendigos and Whights was standing in my way.

"Let me through, don't make me go through you by force."

A Whight came forward. "We'll let you through on one condition."

After that I didn't listen to them anymore. I was so angry, angry at myself for not paying enough attention to Diana, angry at Nagi and Markos for not trying to get her back immediately, angry at this group for taking my time, I was angry at everything.

{Rage has reached a boiling point, activating wrath to protect sanity.

Conditions met, activating Wrath of the Protector.}

We rushed after Liz but I knew what was going to happen. Liz had evolved from a protector creature and her protege seemed to be in insurmountable danger. We were already lucky that her main sin was Wrath and not Sloth, had it been then we'd all be dead the moment she awakened her protector's sin.

Each sin has it's own effect, all of them extremely powerfull, all with an extremely dangerous side effect.

Wrath gives raw power in exchange for being unable to control who you attack. When it changed into it's protector sin, it would allow the user to be able to fully control all of it's available power beynd what should be possible, turning the rage into a point where your mind is so angry you're flooded with calmness.

Greed allows you to steal the power of those you kill but in return it poisons your mind to want more and more. When it changes, it allows you to steal the power without needing to kill but you are unable to stop stealing power even if it will become too much for your body to handle. Most protectors with greed die when they enter this state.

Envy is pretty straightforward, the more envy you feel, the more powerfull you become. It doesn't really change, the boost just becomes stronger.

Pride is ... dangerous, it allows it's user to show the power it has the potential to obtain, in exchange, you start becoming more and more dependent on this power that you can't go without it. The danger is that if you become too dependent on this power it drains your potential, making you grow weaker and weaker.

Lust is the most common sin, this doesn't mean it's any less dangerous. It gives you the ability to control anyone who's mind is weaker than yours. When it changes there is no restriction on the control. The danger is on the other hand, pretty obvious too, Lust has led many to madness.

Gluttony allows you to eat anything but curses it's user with an unending hunger. The Nameless all have a lesser version of this sin, it's whaat allows them to feed. When it changes, it allows the user to not just eat anything but share it's unending hunger with others.

Then there is sloth, the most dangerous of all sins, it takes away any emotion, nothing will ever be felt when this skill is active. It is both a boon and a terrible curse, when it changes, it allows you to make others stop, their bodies don't feel anything, their mind goes numb and their brain stops doing anything.

This is why protectors are so rare and dangerous but even with all the power Liz will have once she gains the Wrath of the Protector, it won't be enough. Had she had pride she would probably be able to kill them all, had she had gluttony she wouldn't even need to to do anything.

Had she had lust, she would be able to control them all, hell even sloth would be better for her right now, but Wrath only gives power to the maximum the body can handle, it's the safest of all sins but also the weakest.

Wendigos and wights all have the power a tier 6 or 7 monster has, she stands no chance.

----Liz----

My mind was so ... calm. I was so angry and yet I was filled with a calmness that I had only felt a few times before. When I was first taught magic by my parents, when my little brother was first born and I swore that he would never have to take up the duty of the first coven.

Those memories surfaced and yet they shouldn't exist, they conflicted with what I remembered. almost as if my mind had been tampered with.

I looked at the wight standing before me and controlled the iron in his blood to concentrate in his heart, blocking up his veins, then I made his heart explode.

I looked to the others the rage apparent in my eyes. I had changed right before them. The moment Wrath of the Protector activated, my entire sky blue body turned black, the place where my eyes should be started glowing red.

I walked over the wight I had just killed only for him to stand up. Turns out that that part from the stories about them being able to heal from almost any wound was true.

The wendigos tried to fly away so I created a dome to trap them. Even though I should only be feeling rage, I started feeling excited at the idea of fighting monsters this powerful. It was time for me to show people what I was made of, not counting rocks.
