The Seven Deadly Sins

As the Dark Hero disappeared from Knight's territory, he ran towards the territory of the Dark Ones. He kept running until he could no longer go on, but an unsettling feeling washed over him. It was as if someone was watching him. Unbeknownst to him, the scene of his running was being played on a crystal ball, and seven sinister figures were watching, finding amusement in his efforts.

Among the group, a small man with a big belly began to speak with a twisted sense of humor. "This is fun, watching him run like an ant. Wait, do ants taste good? If so, I want to eat him!" Another member chimed in, covered in shadows. "Now, Gluttony, let's make use of him first, and then you can eat him." The shadowy figure then opened a portal, causing the Dark Hero to wake from his sleep. He panicked, yelling, "No! I can't go back there!"

However, as he closed his eyes and opened them again, he found himself surrounded by the seven ominous figures, all laughing. The Dark Hero, brimming with menace, demanded, "Who are you laughing at? I can sense your power levels, and they are all weak."

A person emerged from the darkness, explaining that unlike humans, they knew how to conceal their true power levels. He introduced their crew: Gluttony, also known as Beelzebub; Leviathan, known as Levi; Greed, known as Artha; Sloth, known as Loafer; Wrath, known as Gale; Lust, known as Eros; and himself, the Dark Hero's interruption, "Lucifer, the sin of pride, and the strongest of all the sins."

Lucifer confirmed the Dark Hero's guess and continued, "You will go with Gluttony and infuse darkness within Knight's companion, Lycone. He is very powerful. Are you in?"

The Dark Hero, resolute in his determination, replied, "I'm in."
