2025-08-06 20:59:01"Clang!"
A harsh, piercing clash of metal exploded brazenly in the dead-silent sewer!
Viridian stared at his left arm with an expressionless face.
The white mark on his arm, cut by the sharp shard, was slowly fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not a scratch!
This was the solid, tangible sense of safety brought by the Talent: Hardened Skin!
A deep, soul-rooted swell of satisfaction rose in him, so intense he was nearly intoxicated by it.
He had finally laid the first eternal cornerstone for his supreme throne toward Absolute Immortality!
However, just as he prepared to pick up an even larger stone to test the limits of his new talent—
"Uu... uu uu..."
The intermittent sobs that had earlier been drowned out by the giant crocodile's roar, like a festering ache clinging to the bone, drifted back again.
This time, clearer — and more piercing.
As if... right next door.
All of Veridian's movements halted; the sick rapture that had just appeared on his face froze instantly.
His crimson eyes snapped toward the source of the sound — that deeper, more viscous darkness.
Unknown!
This was something more terrifying than any known enemy!
A cold terror, born from endless waits on a sickbed in a past life, clenched his heart in an instant.
The tiny sense of security he had just gained was, in the face of this unknown threat, as fragile as a sheet of paper.
No.
Before I figure out what that thing is, I have to push my armament to the limit!
Viridian's gaze, like the most precise radar, instantly locked onto the alchemical sluice behind the pipeline that the giant crocodile "guard dog" was protecting!
That's where the thing he needed most right now was!
He didn't hesitate for a moment; at top speed he severed the giant crocodile's paw and, as if cracking a code, pressed the control panel with precise keystrokes.
"Crunch..."
With a teeth-grinding screech, the heavy gate slowly rose.
"Help... help..."
The moment the sluice gate opened, the crying seemed to find an outlet, growing clearer, filled with endless despair and pleading.
Viri-Dian's body went rigid; instead of moving closer, he recoiled like a startled cat, darting back several meters and burying himself completely in the shadows.
A trap?!
Luring prey with a sob?
His mind raced in a frantic whirl in zero point zero one seconds, calculating every possibility.
In the end, an overwhelming thirst for power crushed any thought of retreat.
The higher the risk, the greater the reward!
He held his breath and slipped into the chamber like a wisp of smoke, his target clear—the few rotting wooden crates.
The first crate, scrap iron.
His ears twitched slightly; the crying continued, but now it seemed mingled with a faint, ragged breathing.
The second crate...
Viridian's pupils contracted violently!
A hunter's handheld crossbow, gleaming with a cold, ghostly light, lay quietly among them, and beside it was a tube holding twenty precision-steel bolts!
A perfect ranged weapon!
This meant the margin for error in his "hunt" would increase exponentially!
He grabbed the crossbow in one hand; the icy touch eased his taut nerves just a little.
Just then!
"Ah—!"
A heart-rending scream, without any warning, came from the other side of the wall!
The voice was full of unbearable pain and terror, as if it were undergoing some cruel, inhuman torture.
Then came a dull, heavy "thud! thud!" like a weight striking flesh, and a man's coarse curses.
Viridian froze completely.
He turned his head slowly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on that cold, damp stone wall.
It was not a trap.
On the other side of the wall, something was happening... an act of violence!
And according to this world's "Law of Corruption by Sin"...
A thought so terrifying it made him shudder exploded in his mind!
Viridian's gaze slowly swept over the stone dais in the center of the chamber, where a huge beast-skin map was spread out.
He took a few steps forward, his eyes quickly sweeping across the map.
—The complete map of the Silver Sail City sewers!
His breath suddenly caught!
This wasn't a mere map; it was an oracle tailored for him, the "Night Cleaner"!
However, his gaze did not linger on those webbed lines; it was fixed instead on the corner of the map, on a few special locations marked in blood-red ink.
One of them was, starkly, the very place where he now stood.
And beside that mark were three words that chilled his blood—
“First Sin Feeding Pit.”
A den of sin, a breeding pit!
Those words, like a bolt of black lightning, split through all the fog in an instant!
The cries, the violence...
Not an accident!
Someone was methodically, deliberately "breeding" evil down here in these lightless sewers!
Viridian slowly lifted his head and looked again at the stone wall from which the muffled thuds and screams kept coming.
The vigilance, the gravity, even the fear on his face, at this moment, drained away like the receding tide.
In their place came a mad smile—an expression of extreme greed mixed with cold, calculating reason.
He slowly raised the hunter's crossbow in his hand.
A deep blue panel quietly materialized before his eyes.
[Warning! High concentration of "Sin" detected forming!]
[Source of target: Unknown (behind wall)]
[Sin types: Tyranny (Level 4), Lust (Level 3), Harm (Level 5)...]
[Notice: This place has been long soaked in "sin." Feeding on the target's blood is expected to yield an enormous amount of proficiency!]
Viridian stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his sharp fangs.
The world in his eyes had been utterly transformed.
The cold stone wall was no longer a barrier that kept danger at bay.
It had become a thin sheet of paper over a window leading to paradise.
The heart-rending screams from the other side of the wall were no longer mere noise.
They were the most exquisite, most beautiful, most thrilling—and also the most dangerous—sound in this world...
BOSS respawn alert!
A gleeful, cruel smile split Viridian’s lips.
If the map plainly marked this place as the "First Sin Breeding Pool," then it wasn't a forgotten corner but a working "facility."
There had to be "keepers" — people who would come regularly.
Rather than passively waiting for the fish to bite, it was better to cast a net and bring the whole pond into his hunting grounds!
Viridian's gaze instantly fixed on the alchemical gate that had just opened, the passage to the outside world.
The corner of his mouth lifted, silently, into a cold and cruel arc.
He was going to stage a grand welcoming ceremony for his new diners right at the entrance to his "restaurant."
