[87] Demon Clan!

In a random encounter in the dungeon, August discovered that the inner world would devour all life entering it, extracting their life force and magic to promote its own evolution.

As the owner, August remained unaffected and could freely come and go in this world.

However, in another unexpected incident, August got injured during a battle with monsters in the dungeon. Before August could use a healing potion, the wounds on his body began to heal automatically.

August speculated that this was the inner world protecting him.

As August and the inner world were now interconnected, if he suffered injuries, the inner world would assist in his recovery, a form of self-preservation.

"Help me choose a magic development ability."

"Sure. Actually, I was hoping you might have 'Luck,' but it seems not."

As Loki spoke, she helped August make the choice for the development ability.

Luck was a very elusive attribute, but similar to Mystery, it was a rare development ability. Unlike Mystery, Luck was completely unpredictable.

However, it was precisely this 'uncertainty' that made Luck have countless possibilities.

In the dungeon, anything could happen. Sometimes, just a bit of luck could turn a situation from bad to good. Luck was intangible and elusive, but it undeniably existed.

"Alright, it's done."

Loki handed over the imprinted status values to August.

[Augustus Divus Pracentum]

[LV·2-- >LV·3]

[Strength: SSS·1500-- >I·0]

[Endurance: SSS·1500-- >I·0]

[Development Skills: Mystery, Magic]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host. Emerging Star: Promote to level 3. Completion Reward: Advanced draw twice!]

August also smiled. With increased strength and completed missions, he now had two advanced draws.

"However, this time you didn't gain any new magic or skills. That's a bit surprising. It seems you're running out of tricks."

Loki chuckled, but in August's eyes, it looked more like gloating.

August laughed without saying anything. With two advanced draws in hand, he would go draw later. As long as he obtained a skill, he could choke Loki in the next draw.

"Alright, go rest with Ais and wait for the banquet later."

"Sure."

August put on his clothes and left with Ais.

After August left, Loki's initially smiling expression disappeared, replaced by a serious look.

Two months. August had truly become a Level 3 adventurer in just two months, which was terrifying. Even in the era of Zeus and Hera, there hadn't been such a monstrous individual.

"August, are you the chosen one?"

A thought slowly emerged in Loki's mind and lingered for a long time.

In this world, there had been three major tasks for countless years.

During the heyday of the Zeus and Hera familias, they successfully defeated the Behemoth and Leviathan. However, when it came to defeating the One Eyed Black Dragon, all the forces of the Zeus and Hera familias were sacrificed, leading to the failure of that expedition.

However, throughout Orario and even the entire world, the gods were indifferent to this failure. The meaning of monsters' existence was to be defeated from the moment they were born. The failure of the two major familias only indicated that the hero had not yet appeared.

But now, August made Loki think.

In August, she saw the possibility of a hero.

She didn't know if her thought was right or wrong, but she had a feeling that August might be the last hero in this world, the hero who would defeat the One Eyed Black Dragon.

At the same time, as August and Ais walked, August opened the system's draw panel.

Two advanced draws were a huge temptation.

Choosing to start the draw, the large roulette wheel began to spin, and August's mood became tense.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained an item: Profound Iron Dagger*100!]

[Profound Iron Dagger: A dagger forged from refined profound iron, possessing hair-splitting sharpness!]

The result of the first draw made August's expression instantly collapse.

Profound Iron Dagger?

Indeed, it was a powerful weapon. Paired with his treasury, it would be a good addition to his inventory of weapons.

But for the current August, weapons were no longer a problem. Having a top-notch blacksmith from Orario as a wife, did he still lack weapons?

This draw was an advanced draw, and it turned out to be a loss.

"One more draw, give it to me."

The gambler's anticipation, August continued to draw.

The familiar large roulette wheel spun slowly, and in the end, it stopped.

[Ding, congratulations, host. You have obtained a bloodline: Demon Clan Bloodline!]

[Demon Clan Bloodline: A race created by the Demon King, naturally possessing evil and powerful dark magic, with multiple hearts. It won't die unless all hearts are destroyed. The favored child of darkness!]

August was suddenly stunned, Demon Clan Bloodline?

For August, who had naturally read "The Seven Deadly Sins," it was familiar. He knew the entire story.

The Demon Clan was essentially created by the Demon King to control the Demon Realm.

And the Demon King was the dark ruler born from Chaos.

In the original work, apart from the Demon King and the Ten Commandments, the Demon Clan consisted of various demons that were nothing more than variations of gray demons.

Regardless, it couldn't be denied that the Demon Clan, as one of the two strongest races in "The Seven Deadly Sins," was indeed formidable. Especially with the naturally controlled powerful dark magic.

However, looking at the entire plot, this was a large-scale family drama.

The prince of the Demon Clan eloped with the princess of the Goddess Clan, leading to a holy war that eventually engulfed all races in the world. Forced to do so, Demon Gowther used forbidden arts to end the holy war.

But Meliodas and Elizabeth were cursed by the Supreme Deity and Demon King, beginning a tragic love that lasted for three thousand years.

In the end, Meliodas killed the Demon King.

As for the final twist, the Chaos Arthur in August's view was just a forced addition to raise Arthur's presence and forcefully connect the names of the children of the Seven Deadly Sins with King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.
