Chapter 10 - Taming a Sin

"Alright then it's time to get my first ally."

*Yes if what Davis said is true and this man truly has no one else then he will be an integral part of our succession.*

*Ahhhh~, a Sin, to meet him in real life.*

*Mhm I bet we could still kill him, Sin or not a demon of gluttony will be easy pickings.*

"Shush thats no way to talk about a future ally."

In Limbo when one refers to someone as a Sin it means they are one of the seven most elite warriors of the profane kind one of the seven deadly sins. All seven of the Sins grant its user an extreme boost in power. To become a Sin there is different requirements for each of the seven deadly sins, the only known one to the public is that of wrath; wrath is pretty simple to become the Sin of Wrath one has to kill the current Sin of Wrath.

The concept of Sins are not exclusive to Limbo, Estia and Elysia also have their own counterparts. Estia has Adam's Eleven Ribs and Elysia has Seven Heavenly Virtues. All of Estia's Ribs are stronger on average than Sins or Virtues. The reason for this is because humans don't have sins or profane cores like demons, nor do they have virtues or divine cores like angels. To keep all worlds equal in power The Mother gave Estia's Ribs more strength.

As of right now there are two new Sins and five ones that have been in power for decades. The two newest are the Sins of Lust and Gluttony.

Artemis the Sin of Lust, a petite blind seemingly defenseless girl. The most terrifying part about her is that there is nothing known of her. The techniques and combat styles of Sins are the most well known knowledge in all of Limbo. All that is known about this girl is that she is the Sin of Lust which is most commonly the strongest of all the Sins and that she lives on the south sector of Hell.

Beelzebub the Sin of Gluttony, a ginormous man with light red skin. He adorns himself with tacky jewelry and disgustingly overpriced clothes. He has dark red curved horns and tail with the same color. The most interesting part about this man are his two pairs of insect like wings. Beelzebub's technique allows him to absorb damage and kinetic energy, something fitting for such an uncoordinated slob such as himself. The worst part of it all is the fact that he is in the northern slave trade just like Drakar's father, Luther.

Valor the Sin of Pride, a tall elvish man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale ivory skin. He along with the rest of the elves live in the south side of Limbo extremely close to the Black Forest which surrounds the circumference of Limbo. The entirety of the elven kingdom lays on his back since they live in the Valta, a forest created by Valor's technique. Valor almost never leaves Valta, but when intruders venture too close he shoos them off by morphing the ground on which they stand. Way to fit the cliche Valor!

Ares the Sin of Wrath, is a brutish halved disgrace with dark red skin and giant jet black horns; a halved disgrace is the result of a contemned union with humans and demons, which results in a demon with only one Sin and no wings or a tail. Ares is a raging monster living in the eastern sector of Hell all he does is murder and eat. Ares technique allows him to grow from the more people he kills. Currently the hulking abomination is 12 feet tall and 1200 pounds.

Lux the Sin of Sloth, short and skinny he really just looks like your average white guy with brown hair and eyes, as well as a black tail, horns, and wings. All he does is laze around in his small little shack in the outlands. Since the outlands are a no combat zone he's never been seen using his technique, more precisely nobody really knows how he uses his technique in combat. Although he takes no part in any war he is an integral part of Hell's strength for two reasons. One, for miles around him techniques cannot be used creating a massive wall stopping all sieges from the west. Two, Lux's real age is unknown even to himself, but what is known is that he was alive before Hell and probably will be after it. With his age Lux has accumulated centuries of knowledge which sometimes proves to be incredibly useful.

Gecko the Sin of Envy, three guesses what Gecko looks like. Gecko looks like a lizard who tries to imitate demon characteristics. Gecko has dark orang eyes along with orange and white scales which match his bright orange wings and horns. He is an aztosa which are demons who take on lizard or reptilian traits. Aztosas mainly occupy the west and northwest of Limbo with many different small cities. Gecko is insanely dominant in combat since his technique allows him to perfectly mirror his opponent. Gecko relies on brute force, since after living a couple hundred years his soul is greater than almost any other demon. This results in you fighting a better version of yourself.

Finally there's Jilly the Sin of Greed, Jilly better known as the skin walker has no single appearance. Whenever Jilly kills someone their body and technique are absorbed into her. It seems there's a limit to her power nobody except herself truly knows. Jilly also seems to wander mostly in the northeast side of Limbo often times finding herself in different race's territories. 

But none of those guys matter, since today only one Sin is on Drakar's mind, Beelzebub, the youngest and newest Sin.
