The Seven Deadly Sins' New Member
Kuranos's face darkened. He had only just come into contact with Sigma and didn't understand anything about it. He had spent a whole day with Uta, and that wretched human could buzz around his ear like a mosquito.
Your laughter is a little scary...
Uta's eyes darted around, and after hearing the words "the master forbids harming her at will," she became bolder again.
Although they didn't know who their master was, the two demons in front of them treated him with great respect, so they would likely obey his orders.
Thinking of this, Uta put his hands on his hips and said:
"You two, you must call me Lord Uta, understand?"
The enormous dragon head suddenly lunged close, and Uta screamed in fright, her two long, rabbit-ear-shaped hairs standing on end.
"You've gone too far, human."
Sigma gradually came to understand Kuranos; this human girl was indeed very noisy.
"At least call me by my name, I have a name..." Uta muttered softly.
"Understood, human. Quickly take us to find the sheet music."
Damn it, Master, who are you anyway? You need to discipline your subordinates! All they do is scare people!
Uta inwardly grumbled, but had no choice but to lead the way.
"The sheet music you're looking for used to be stored in an ancient tomb beneath the castle... but then something happened, and it seems Gordon hid it."
"We can sense that the sheet music is in the direction of the castle, but we don't know its exact location."
What do you need the sheet music for?
"Catch that demon."
Upon hearing this, Uta's heart stirred slightly.
Chatting along the way, the group soon arrived at the abandoned castle located on the high ground.
Stepping inside through the main gate, Sigma found that the interior was not as dilapidated as it appeared from the outside; it was regularly cleaned.
Uta explained that Gordon would be staying here and would be in charge of cleaning, but she herself didn't like it here and preferred to live in the city below the highlands.
"We're not interested in these things. Where's the sheet music?" Kuranos said bluntly.
"I don't know, Gordon hid the sheet music."
There was a piano in the hall. Uta skipped over to the piano, sat down, opened the lid, and her hands emerged from her long sleeves, her ten fingers pressing on the keys.
"Maybe if I play a piece of music, it will come out on its own."
As she spoke, she had already pressed the piano keys.
The notes played were broken and cold, filled with a heavy feeling, like curses and prayers from an ancient tomb. The melody, filled with a sense of grimness and oppression, echoed in the hall.
As the performance continued, Uta took a deep breath, her eyes hardening, and she hummed a phrase whose meaning was unclear.
[Gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak]
[Gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak]
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, streaks of crimson Inazuma burst forth, flashing throughout the music hall, while a strong wind swept through, causing the murals on the walls to tremble.
"What song is this?" Sigma asked, puzzled.
"This isn't a song, this is probably... a spell!" Kuranos exclaimed gravely. "A spell to summon a demon, no, to be precise, a spell to break a seal!"
The two of them looked at Uta, who was playing the music.
She was already immersed in her own world, and after a meaningless chanting, the understandable lyrics finally came out of her mouth one after another.
This song evokes a sense of holiness, yet beneath this sacred exterior lies a curse of destruction. The vocals gradually descend from gentleness to madness, culminating in Uta's screams that finally unleash the demons hidden within the castle.
Swish!
Sheets of music flew in from outside the concert hall and spread out in a row in the air.
Hehehe...
A deep, low laugh echoed through the song.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of red lightning flashed across several yellowed musical scores, and the black musical notes on them detached from the scores and converged towards one point.
This force coalesced into an irregular mass of black energy.
"They're here!"
Kuranos raised his head and looked directly at the unsealing of the Demon King of Songs.
Black energy began to form the Demon King's body. It had only an upper body, floating in the air like a bizarre giant scarecrow or a deformed puppet.
The outstretched arms are formed by the black and white keys of a piano, the bright red ghost face is long, the nose is exceptionally long and prominent, and a huge mouth is torn open as if it is forever wearing a maniacal grin.
It has a mouthful of sharp teeth, a deep, dark hole in its right eye, and a striking X-shaped red light burning in its left eye.
Hehe... hehe...
The Demon King of Songs let out a series of low, eerie laughs.
Uta continued playing the piano, her body enveloped in red light, her movements out of control, like a puppet on strings, passively continuing to play.
"She's been controlled by the Demon King of Songs. It seems this isn't its complete form; it's just that a portion of its power has been unsealed." Sigma remained calm, analyzing the situation with composure.
"Hmph, being able to be sealed by the power of the Sing-Sing Fruit, I don't think this wild demon is anything special."
Kuranos gave a soft snort, but even so, he had already made his move.
With a thought, his body suddenly swelled up, transforming into the Yamata no Orochi, a purplish-black python representing [Bone Head], tearing at the Demon King of Songs in mid-air.
The Demon King of Songs did not dodge, allowing the giant python to bite its arm.
Boom!
The giant python continued to grow longer and longer, crashing through the castle's ceiling.
Hehe... hehehe...
The Demon King of Songs seemed to be mocking, a ball of crimson energy gathering in its mouth full of sharp fangs.
Suddenly, crimson light shot out from its mouth, like a sharp celestial blade, severing the giant python and sweeping across the land.
Boom!
Wherever the red light passed, the earth was torn apart and raging flames soared into the sky.
Sigma transformed into a pink dragon, soaring into the sky. Looking down at the burning city below the platform, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
What kind of power is this?
He wasn't amazed by the Demon King of Songs's destructive power, but rather puzzled by the opponent's techniques, which seemed to be purely energy attacks.
As he pondered, Sigma opened his dragon mouth, and scorching flames condensed within it.
"Bolo Breath!"
The dragon's breath instantly engulfed the Demon King of Songs, and terrifying flames pierced the sky, reaching the sea beyond the island.
In the hills behind the castle, Gordon was picking wild berries.
Hearing the loud noise coming from the direction of the castle, his expression changed drastically.
"Tot Musica?!"
The figure engulfed and burning in flames was none other than the Demon King of Songs who had appeared in my memory before.
Gordon trembled all over, muttering in disbelief:
"Why is it appearing again? Oh no, Uta is in danger!"
Without a second thought, he dropped the fruit basket and sprinted toward the castle.
At the same time.
Dimon continues to monitor Elegia's situation through Ain's perspective.
"This form... is just the first stage, right? I remember this demon had three stages."
The combat capabilities of the first two forms can only be described as average.
The third stage is a bit outrageous.
The Demon King of Songs in the third movement is said to possess the power to destroy the world. To defeat him, attacks must be launched simultaneously in both the real world and the World of Song.
Dimon gazed thoughtfully at the images in his mind.
What kind of being is Tot Musica, a demon?
Were there many similar demons in this world in ancient times?
Where did they go?
What is its relationship with Devil Fruits?
"This is a topic worth exploring. No, I have to go and observe it in person. We can't waste such excellent material."
Thinking of this, Dimon immediately activated the teleportation array.
Elegia, Castle Highlands.
The burning flames were gradually enveloped by a dark energy, and in the blink of an eye, all the flames were completely devoured.
The Demon King of Songs has reappeared unharmed.
"Is it useless?"
Sigma spoke with an air of certainty.
A flash of golden light, Dimon appeared above his head.
"Master, why did you come in person?"
"Attack with Haki."
Chapter 213 New Members of the Seven Deadly Sins
The Demon King of Songs remained unharmed by the Bolo Breath. He swept his evil gaze toward Sigma, but upon seeing Dimon atop the dragon's head, he showed a human-like surprise.
Then, surprise turned into ridicule.
The red light in his mouth converged and suddenly transformed into a beam that shot out straight out.
Is this guy unable to speak, or unwilling to communicate...? Dimon pondered the problem with ample time.
Faced with the approaching red light, Sigma roared, and the sound of a dragon's cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
He coiled his dragon tail and used his physical body to withstand the opponent's attack.
Boom!
The red light was blocked by the hard dragon scales, and the explosion caused a sky full of fire and smoke.
At the same time.
The purplish-black giant python, which had been severed by the red light, has regenerated, and all eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi have emerged from the castle.
The [Main Head] had a cold gaze and conveyed instructions to the other [seven leaders].
The first to act was [Water Head], who opened its giant mouth and spewed out a vast flood that swept over the Demon King of Songs.
The Demon King of Songs clearly hadn't expected that the giant python he had just severed would regenerate in the blink of an eye.
A massive flood struck, with billions of tons of water crashing down like a giant hand, knocking it from the sky and plunging down the castle hill along with the endless seawater, as if swept away by a waterfall, rushing towards the city below.
While it was entangled in the flood, [Thunder Head] raised its head high, and a trembling sound came from its chest.
In an instant, the world changed, and dark clouds loomed over the city.
A series of thunderous roars resounded, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Demon King of Songs precisely on the head.
The Demon King of Songs let out a piercing roar, and in his Wrath, he spat out a beam of red light at the Yamata no Orochi.
