Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

[You have killed King of Greed]

[Experience +70]

[Level +1]

[Level +1]

[Level +1]

Azekiel had straight gained a boost of three levels from the experience.

"The experience I received from Elijah is slightly lower than what I got from Michael. I also gained fewer levels with him," Azekiel muttered, observing the notifications before him.

"It's because your level is higher. At the start, your level was less, so when you killed a stronger person, you got more experience. Now the level difference was slightly less between you two, so the experience gained is also less," Raphael explained. "Don't worry; it's pretty ordinary."

"That makes sense."

Azekiel went to the King of Greed to use his Soul Snatch, only to stop mid-way as he saw more notifications.

[Congratulations: You have killed the first King of Sin with your Weapon of Sin]

[Bonus: Experience +100]

[Level +1]

[Level +1]

[Level +1]

He gained three more levels with bonus Experience he received simply for using the Gauntlets of Gluttony, but that wasn't even the most shocking notification. What was more surprising was the notifications that came next.

[Conditions for Hidden Ability of Gauntlet of Gluttony have been met]

[You have killed a King with the Gauntlet of Gluttony]

[Gauntlet of Gluttony has gained a second form]

[Second Form received from the King of Greed]

[Second form unlocked: Hammer of Gluttony]

[Passive ability of Gauntlet of Gluttony activated]

[You have received ten years of additional lifespan]

The barrage of notifications came one after another, only stopping after a long time.

"The second form? The hidden ability of the Gauntlets?"

"Show me the second form." He commanded the Gauntlets.

Both his Gauntlets turned into specks of light which joined together to take a new shape. A mighty hammer floated before Azekiel. Moreover, the Hammers didn't look much different than the Hammer that was the Weapon of Sin of Elijah!

"Don't tell me... The Gauntlet of Gluttony can steal the Weapon of Sins of others as long as I kill them using the Gauntlets?" Azekiel exclaimed in shock.

Even he hadn't expected this skill to be there in his gauntlets. He had assumed that they were ordinary weapons that could attack at long range. He wasn't too impressed by the weapon but also wasn't disappointed, but all his feelings changed just now! If the Gauntlet of Gluttony could eat the Weapon of Sins of others, then that was just too incredible!

"If I had these Gauntlets when I had killed Michael, I might've had his Spear too... My Weapon of Sin... It's... Amazing."

In his amazement over the hidden ability of the Gauntlets, he hadn't even taken the second ability seriously, which had given him ten years of lifespan. Not only could the gauntlets steal someone's weapon of Sin, but they could also steal their years of life to give to their holder.

With the second ability, Gauntlet of Gluttony could effectively make someone immortal. All they had to do was steal someone's age, and they could never die of old age!

Raphael smiled as he watched the amazement of the Weapon of Gluttony. What Azekiel was just realizing now, he had known a long time ago. That's why he was surprised when he had seen this Weapon being received by Azekiel.

The Gauntlet of Gluttony was one of the most important Weapons of its time. There were certain Weapons that were stronger than the Gauntlets of Gluttony like the Sword of Death or the Scythe of Moon, but the Gauntlets of Gluttony had the potential for immense growth.

He was happy that Azekiel had received the Gauntlets.

"I just hope that no one receives the Scythe of Moon or the Sword of Death. Things should be much easier for us then," Raphael muttered, gazing at the body of Elijah.

After the initial excitement, Azekiel finally calmed himself down.

This was a great discovery. He could not focus on stealing the Weapons of Sins of others. Still, he wasn't done yet. There was much to do.

[King of Gluttony has killed the King of Greed]

He heard a notification resounded in the back of his head, which he had already expected. It happened once before as well.

This time he was sure that even more attention was going to come to him. Last time, most people thought it was a coincidence that he killed a King, but now people were going to think something else.

Moreover, he believed that most of the Kings were going to become his enemies since they were going to assume that he was intentionally killing the Kings and that he was targeting the other Kings.

They were going to be worried, and worry could give birth to hate.

Just as Azekiel had expected, in the entire tower, there were talks about him. He was being addressed as the King Slayer by many. No one knew why Azekiel was after the Kings, but most who were unfamiliar with him assumed that he probably hated all the Kings and wanted to kill them all. Most of the Kings also thought the same thing.

Almost everyone on Floor Zero called Azekiel the King Slayer. Even the people who didn't like Azekiel couldn't deny that he was strong. Unfortunately, there were still some who believed he was overhyped. One of those was the girl that Azekiel had rejected.

She had bet against Azekiel, saying that Elijah was going to win, but her face turned red now. She still didn't accept that she was wrong.

"He killed King Michael through cheating. I'm sure he stabbed him from the back. As for King Elijah, he was already the Weakest King. While other Kings cleared the Fourth Floor, he was still stuck on Floor Two. Killing him doesn't prove anything." She rolled her eyes in arrogance as she stood up and walked back to her tent.

"Sigh, this girl will never accept reality." Her friend had already given up on trying to make her understand. She even stopped bothering about what that girl thought now.

Azekiel sat beside Elijah and placed his hand on the forehead of the young man.

[Soul Snatch!]

The Soul Energy started floating from Elijah into Azekiel.

[Soul Snatch Successful]

[Strength +50]

[Defence +50]

[Speed +50]

[Hunger +20]

The soul energy ran out, and once again, the soul bar of Azekiel was filled, but this time he didn't receive any information about his Soul Bar having enough energy to Summon another Familiar.

"Does each summon need more energy in excess than the last? I'm sure I received the same amount of soul Energy from King of Greed that I received from King of Pride."

Azekiel didn't receive an answer to his question. Instead, he was greeted with another notification.

[Passive Skill: Gluttony of Knowledge activated]
