Souta looked at the barrier as he tightly knitted his brows. He wondered if there were teachers who could forcibly shatter the barrier in the control room as most of the teachers left to fight the Seven Deadly Sins.

From his quest, he knew that someone stole the barrier device inside the control room. Surely, the people who stole the device already left but he still wanted to find some clue inside the room.

The Seven Deadly Sins wouldn't do things like this. If they were going to snatch the bloodstone they would simply snatch it while killing everyone who got in their way. They wouldn't activate the barrier device.

Also, from the information of the quest, he could guess that there's another organization here besides the Seven Deadly Sins.

'Jeanne, Wako, and Yanagi are here.' Souta thought as he rubbed his chin. He could get Yanagi here to shatter the barrier but she was uncontrollable.

"Most of the powerful teachers left the institute to deal with the invaders." One of the teachers said with a helpless expression.

"We should split up and find suspicious people in this place," Souta suggested to them.

"The elimination round started today so a lot of people are here." One of the teachers said to Souta.

Souta understood them. The Institute was opened to outsiders to watch the elimination round today so people could easily sneak inside this place.

"We should check every people but it's hard." Someone said.

"Well, I'll leave it to you so do everything silently," Souta said before he turned around. He will leave this thing to them as he will try to settle this problem using his own method.

"Okay, leave this to us. We'll protect the students here." The teachers said to him.

Souta didn't say anything as he left the area around the control room. He hid his aura using the artifacts that he got from Raeshka.

BOOM!

The ground shook as an explosion occurred in the school ground. Souta stopped as he turned his head.

"They appeared... I don't know if it's the Seven Deadly Sins but I think that it's just a diversion." He whispered before he moved his body.

'I think that this is a diversion too. Those people wouldn't easily show themselves. They must have guessed that the teachers are planning to investigate the people here.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.

Boom! Boom!

Several explosions erupted across the school grounds. The ground vibrated heavily and it caused a panic among the civilians. The student council helped the teachers and calming down the civilians.

They gathered everyone in the training ground while some of the teachers and student council members investigated what's happening in the school.

In the bas.e.m.e.nt of the institute, a girl with long lilac-colored hair was sleeping on the soft bed.

She was Yanagi Shina.

Her defenseless body while sleeping was alluring. Her pajama acquainted her bewitching body.

"Hmm...?"

She slowly opened her eyes. She pushed herself into a seated position as she looked around her room. The vibrations woke her up.

"What's wrong with this place...?" She mumbled as she felt powerful energy on the surface. Judging from this, she could guess that some powerful people were fighting above.

"Who dared to disturb my sleep?!" She frowned as she said in an angry tone. She then took a deep breath to calm herself. After that, she stood up and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"Ufufu, It seems that I'll be able to enjoy myself once again."

She removed her pajama and wore her school uniform.

"Let's see, what's happening..."

She left the room and walked towards the stairs. As soon as she opened the door she saw a man from her dreams.

Souta Ieshi was standing in front of the door while looking at her with a surprised expression.

"Oh? S-Souta, are you here to sneak in my bed?" Yanagi raised her eyebrows and said in a seductive tone. She then turned around and added, "Fine, I'll go back to sleep so that you can sneak in my bed."

It took Souta a few seconds before he came back to his senses. "Damn! I'm not here to do that! Why would you think like that?!"

Yanagi stopped walking as she slowly turned around and looked at Souta with wide eyes. "Eh...? That's the only reason I could think... Is there any reason?"

Souta took a deep breath to calm his anger. He really couldn't reason with this girl. After a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"I want you." Yanagi stepped forward and said with a faint smile on her beautiful face.

"Why?" Souta asked with an exasperated expression. He decided to confront her today so that he would know what she really wanted.

"Hmm...?" Yanagi pressed her finger on her lips and said, "I couldn't describe it... My instinct is telling me that you're different from other men. I'm recalling my childhood when I'm looking at you. You're fierce but weak... I don't why but I felt that you're a powerful predator and it's driving me crazy."

Souta was shaken but he didn't show it on his face. He recalled that she lived in a dungeon full of monsters when she was a child. It's possible that her instinct felt that he was a monster but there's no definitive proof so she couldn't tell that he was a monster.

'This is bad. Should I kill her?' Souta looked at her with sharp eyes. He then shook his head and put those thoughts in the back of his mind.

A grin appeared on Yanagi while looking at Souta.

"That's it... You want to kill me? Why? Ah~ it's beautiful you're like a monster."

She clearly felt that faint killing intent from Souta. It didn't make her angry. In fact, she grew more excited. She wanted to grab him and destroy him at this moment.

'This girl is sharp.' Saya said with a serious tone.

Souta sighed as he ignored Yanagi and said, "Help me this time and I'll do one thing for you."

"Anything?" Yanagi put her face closer to Souta. She had stars in her eyes as she was imagining what she would do to him.

"Eh...? If it's within my power..." Souta could only agree to her.

Yanagi licked her lips and said, "Fine, you can order me around and I'll follow you. Just don't forget our deal or else I'll punish you."

"Okay." Souta nodded and he took out a transmission talisman in his pocket.

"Here."

"A transmission talisman...? Yey! I can easily contact you with this!" Yanagi smiled as she held the transmission talisman in her hand.

'This girl... What could I say? She's like a child that got her toy right now.' Souta was dumbfounded when he saw her expression.

"Okay, I'll tell you what's happening..."

He patiently explained what's happening to Yanagi without missing anything.

"So, I want you to go to the control room and check the things there. I'll contact you using the talisman." Souta said to her.

"Fine, that's easy," Yanagi replied to him as she brushed her hair to the side.

"Then, let's go."

Souta turned around and left. He hurriedly went to the tallest building in the institute.

Swoosh!

Yanagi looked at his back with a seductive smile. She strode forward and turned her head in the direction of the control room.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%5Bdescent-of-the-binding-apostle%5D_52692716177376233 for visiting.

"I'm looking forward to it."

On top of the building, Souta could see the situation of the Ladro Institute. The Institute became a battlefield but the people who were attacking the institute weren't a member of the Seven Deadly Sins.

What's going on?

The people who were attacking the institute were a group of teachers and students.

Boom! Boom!

Three figures were colliding at one figure covered in flames. Every time they collided it would produce powerful shockwaves. The deafening sound of explosions spread everywhere.

The impact waves blew everything around them creating several fissures on the churned ground.

Bang! Bang!

After a few minutes, the figure covered in flames turned around and attack the other three people who were shooting powerful spells.

[Heavy Artillery Flaming Bullet]!

Bargan shoots a powerful spell to counter the three people who didn't have the power of blessing. He decided to deal with these three if he wanted to finish this battle as soon as possible.

Swoosh!

He then turned around to look behind him. He didn't even check if his spell hit the three people because the people who had blessings were already behind him.

"Tsk! You're persistent!" Bargan clicked his tongue as he collided with the three people once again.

His opponents were full of grave injuries while he took light injuries. It was not life threatening.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After colliding for a hundred times, Bargan's flaming hand pierced the body of a seven-circle officer.

Cough!

The seven-circle officer coughed a mouthful of blood as he looked at Bargan with madness in his eyes.

Danger!

Bargan quickly pulled his hand as he felt danger coming from the man in front of him. No, it's coming in all directions.

Yuvn looked at this scene before he scattered his blood. He then created a magic circle in front of him.

"Come and offer your blood to the Sins. Apostle of dusk shall borrow the power of the venerate Sins. We shall use this dark grade artifact as a vessel for your power."

"Come down!"
