Chapter 116: Internal Strife

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing three Great Sin Masks. You have obtained a gold-tier Great Sin Mask.]

The system notification sounded in Watson’s ears, and he saw that the mask’s attributes had changed.

[Gold-tier special item: Great Sin Mask (incomplete)]

[Effects: able to resist attacks from gold-tier elites. Side effect: the user’s emotions will become very volatile after wearing it.]

[Additional effects: devour, delicious touch, rage, giant transformation, advanced charm (possess the ability to confuse the mind and control others), affinity (greatly increase one’s charm when facing a member of the opposite sex)]

[Additional skills: the evil god’s protection, death ray (emit a dark-elemental combat aura from the mask that can cause one’s lifeforce to dissipate, comparable to a gold-tier warrior’s full-strength attack)]

“Just as I expected of a mask left behind by the evil god. The effect of gold-tier equipment is already comparable to a peak gold-tier warrior! If I can fuse more masks, I imagine that the power will be even stronger!”

Watson was already looking forward to the ability of the fused mask.

At the same time, the five members of the Demoness Bandit Gang were shocked.

“Did you see that?” Greed, who was in charge of buffing her teammates, asked softly.

“I think I saw it.”

The second person who spoke was Wrath. She rubbed her beautiful eyes.

“He fused the Great Sin Masks? Well, it might not be true fusion. Maybe he just put the mask together forcibly. It’s not like we haven’t done that before.”

The young woman, who wore the white fox mask, snorted in dissatisfaction.

Behind her, Sloth, who was floating in the air, did not speak. Instead, she only listened to her teammates’ discussions, but the aura on her body was different from before that.

The Demoness Church’s mission had always been to put the Great Sin Masks together to restore its glory—whoever could put it together would be the church’s successor.

“Do you still want to fight?”

When the mask changed, Watson’s mentality also changed significantly. Sometimes he felt hungry, sometimes he felt outraged, and sometimes he was worried if he was not handsome enough...

The violent fluctuations of emotions disturbed his mind. He knew that those were the side effects of the Great Sin Masks. Nevertheless, Watson resisted them; he hooked his finger at the people in front of him.

The horn on the three-in-one mask he wore on his face began to flicker with black light. Its only turbid eye turned, and the hair on those who saw that stood on end.

“Why do I feel like that person has succeeded in fusing Great Sin Masks?”

The blonde-haired woman said greedily and suspiciously as the mask on her face flashed with light. “I feel as if his mask has a kind of gravity that’s attracting the Greed Mask on my face to break away! I can also feel the same aura as the Primordial Demoness from his mask.”

“Whether or not the fusion is successful, we’ll know once we try it.” Lady Sloth spoke right before she charged straight at Watson and spread her invisible arms behind her.

The arms pierced through the air before they wrapped around Watson’s body; it contracted tightly. The arms also grabbed Watson’s throat in an attempt to break his neck.

The invisible arm had at least a few thousand catties of strength. It could even break a steel plate effortlessly.

The Sloth Mask could turn an attack into an invisible one; it would make it impossible for others to detect it.

A human’s deepest fear would always originate from the unknown. Therefore, even though the sloth was only a silver-tier elite, her overall ability was not much weaker than a gold-tier warrior. She was also the second strongest member of the Demoness Bandit Gang; she was behind Pride, who was not there that day.

“Is that all you have?”

The power on his body felt like 10,000 catties, but Watson did not feel any pain. That was because the one-horned mask on his face ate all the power that attacked him.

All he had in his heart was endless anger. He was mad at himself, but he was also angry at Lady Sloth’s weakness.

“Since you are so weak, don’t blame me for being harsh! Activate the mask skill—Death Ray.”

The turbid eye on the mask suddenly burst with colorful light. The beam was as thick as an arm; it hit the invisible arm that was wrapped around his body. The invisible arm then turned colorful and became visible to the naked eye. Then, it withered gradually along with the mask on Sloth’s face.

The mask cracked open from the middle; it revealed a pair of pure white pupils; the eyelashes were also white. They looked confused.

“I did not expect the mask to shatter. It’s alright, fuse it for me.”

After the mask on Sloth’s face shattered, it turned into two rays of white light before they headed toward Watson’s face at the fastest speed.

The three-in-one mask on his face immediately turned into a four-in-one mask, and the unicorn-shaped pattern began to change.

The turbid one-eyed pupil split into two; they looked quite similar to a human’s. Its ugly appearance also became gentle gradually. It was quite similar to the Primordial Demoness statue carved on the five mountains that Watson had seen previously.

The other leaders of the Demoness Bandit Gang opened their mouths wide.

They confirmed that Watson had fused the Great Sin Mask. Furthermore, Lady Sloth was the strongest among them. If she could not defeat Watson, then none of them were his match, even if they combined their power.

They thought that after Watson had cast a platinum-tier spell, his strength would be much weaker than before, and they would be able to defeat him easily. However, they did not expect him to remain strong.

“Who’s next?”

Watson looked at the remaining Lady Greed and the other woman in black who wore a bamboo hat and did not have a noticeable appearance.

The women took a step backward, and that included Lady Greed. The woman, dressed like a black fog, paused for a few seconds before she slowly walked toward Watson’s direction. A pair of jet-black combat aura wings flapped behind her as they off a storm filled with pressure in the air.

Envy!

It was Envy, who had taken action!

“I did not expect Envy to be so brave. She still dares to make a move.” The young woman was lustful and emotional.

“Oh, right, I almost forgot that we still have Envy. Her mask can pull her opponent’s strength to match ours. No matter how powerful he is, he would be no match for us once Envy activates her power.” Then, she continued to growl, “If he can still win under such circumstances, then we’ll destroy the Envy’s mask. No one will be able to get it.”

Even if they could not beat Watson, could they not defeat Lady Envy, who was at the same tier as them.

It seemed like Watson wanted their masks, and if he had a need, they were not afraid.

The higher-ups of the Demoness Bandit Gang seemed to have found a way to solve their predicament, which aroused their confidence. However, they were surprised when Envy walked up to Watson but did not attack him. Instead, she lifted her cloak and revealed a fiery red-haired head and a crescent-shaped distorted human mask.

Then, Envy took the mask off her face and handed it to Watson respectfully with both hands.

Envy had the same fiery red pupils under the mask, but the pupils were vertical. Scales had grown on both sides of her cheeks. That was the characteristic of a subhuman called the flame elf.

“You are Watson, right? Master Watson, please accept my mask.”

Watson was dumbfounded when he saw Envy’s sincerity. He stood rooted to the ground, and the other leaders of the Demoness Bandit Gang were also speechless.
