Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

The King took advantage of the slightest distraction that he could receive. Even though he could've waited for the Guard to take up his offer, there was also a slight chance that he could just reject the offer.

If it was the latter case, he was sure he wasn't going to receive the same opportunity again.

He left his bloody Sword stabbed in the Guard before stepping back hastily.

The Guard was shocked. He was cheated! The King had pulled a disgusting trick to win the battle. He tried to step forward, but his body was out of his control. His clothes were covered in blood already as his body dropped to the ground.

The battle was over, and the victor was clear. The King managed to win. Even though he used some tricks, for him, it was better than losing his life.

Moreover, he was sure that Azekiel was someone who wasn't going to care about the methods that he used to win. A demon wasn't going to care for the evil methods that were followed.

The King stepped closer to the guard, checking if the man was still alive or not.

"I won! I killed him! According to your words, you won't kill me!"  As soon as the King made sure that the man was dead, he turned to Azekiel.

"You certainly won," Azekiel nodded in agreement as he stood up. "I won't go into depth as to how you won. It's like the saying on earth; everything is fair in love and war. So I will consider it your win, and I'll let you live."

He started walking away. Seeing the man leave, the King actually sighed in relief. He was so close to death today. However, he had managed to escape death's clutches not once but more than twice already!

He kicked the dead guard, who had dared to fight him. "You bastard, you dared to attack your King? You traitor, you really dreamt of becoming the King, didn't you?"

"You bastard, you almost killed me! Death is an easy way out for someone like you." The King declared. "For attacking your monarch, I'll make sure that even your seven generations won't know what peace means!"

Even though the guard was already dead, the King kept letting out all his pent-up anger. Since he couldn't do anything to Azekiel, all his anger came out on the dead guard who listened to Azekiel.

Seeing the King attack the body of their dead comrade, the other Guards were quite disgusted as well. However, they could only stand back and watch. That was until they heard something...

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you something," Azekiel's voice came. It seemed he had returned once again; the King's foot that was about to stomp on the guard's head froze in place. He hastily stepped back.

"Yes, My Lord?" the King asked with great respect as if Azekiel was the King and he was just a minister.

" I came to give you some advice. You should really be careful here."

"Hmm? Why?"

The only person who was a threat to him was Azekiel, and Azekiel had promised that he was going to let him live if he won. Then why did he need to be careful?

"I mean, just look around you. There is no one here other than all your Guards. All the Nobles and the citizens are hiding in their houses. No one will know what happens here. So if your guards decide to kill you secretly for all the wrong you committed, it would be quite unfortunate," Azekiel reminded the King.

"I mean, if I were in their place, I definitely would've done it as no one was going to know who killed you. All the blame could be tossed to the so-called demon, and they could get rid of you as well. So just be careful."

Even though Azekiel pretended that he came here to remind him, it felt more like he was giving this idea to the guards, informing them that they could kill him and no one was going to know.

Hearing the so-called reminder, the King's face went pale. He noticed the guards looking around as if they were actually trying to see how true this was.

All of them could see that Azekiel wasn't lying. Other than them, there wasn't anything here. If they actually killed this disgusting King, no one was going to know. Moreover, this could also save the family of their fellow guard.

"Best of luck to you all. I hope you all have fun."

Finally, Azekiel actually left. He didn't have to stay behind to know what the outcome of the King was going to be. He didn't have to do much either. He just gave a suggestion, and everything else was handled by the guards.

The King couldn't even fight one guard properly. There was no way he was going to be able to fight all the other Guards here who wanted to kill him.

The King was killed by the Guards, and not a single person other than the guards knew what actually happened. Just as Azekiel had suggested to them, all the blame was shifted to him.

The guards promised amongst them that none of them was going to tell the truth about what happened here to anyone. Even that family couldn't know, as this was equal to treason. Despite killing their own King, the guards did feel a little elated.

"That was certainly a good show," Azekiel stood before the Portal of the next floor, thinking back to what had happened in the Kingdom.

He was the one who created the tower, and he knew everything about it. That's why climbing it wasn't fun for him since he knew what was coming next. It was also the reason that he looked for small entertaining acts on each floor to keep things entertaining for him.

On each floor, he found one thing or the other since there wasn't a lack of stupid people in this World.
