Path Of Blood - 77 Chapter 69

2 Days Later…

There were Two people conversing in the middle of the town. In a restaurant nearby Beacon. One was a woman wearing a lab coat, Her messy Raven hair caught the attention of people. Her eyes were completely apathetic, but she wore a crazed expression. In front of him was a Burly Man, wearing sunglasses. His Huge muscles could barely be hidden by his civilian clothes. And if you look closely at his right shoulder, There is a tattoo. Thousand Blades…

Yes, the two of them were both the sinners of Wrath and Sloth. Aergia clicked her tongue, “Tch! Whats taking Eris so long!?” Touma laughed, “Patience, young child. She’s already nearby. Why don’t you go and eat food first it’ll help you grow.”

“Ahn!? The fuck did you just say old man!? You calling me small!?” She said as she glared at Touma. Touma Laughed louder. He looked behind him and saw Eris, Wearing her staple Bad Girl Look.

Aergia looked at her direction, “You’re late…” She said clearly displeased. Eris was still silent, She sat down at their table. She clearly didn’t give a damn about Aergia. This pissed off Aergia even more. But she ignored it and let it go. Touma smiled, “So if you’re back, then I suppose it’s ready?”

Eris smiled back and she finally spoke, “Yes, He’s going away for a mission. Based on my observations he’s going to be doing a job for Salem.” Touma nodded his head, “Then I shall follow him. No one should stop me.”

Eris shrugged her shoulders, “If he can’t handle you, then he’s not my fated rival then…”

Touma laughed, “Oh to be young! That’s how it’s supposed to be! Hahahahahha!”

Aergia then ignored the two of them, “I’m going to the land of darkness. I need to see the pool where those Grimm come from. And if I’m lucky we could bargain a deal with that old witch.

One last test then we could start. Eris you can go on taking the students. I couldn’t be bothered with their pleading.”

Eris nodded her head, “Sure, I don’t think I could reach an agreement with that old witch. I would probably just fight her.”

Aergia raised her eyebrows, “Yeah, that’s why I got you do the easiest one… but also the most troublesome one.”

Touma nodded his head, “If you do this, It would paint a Target on us, and the world will probably know who we are. Ozma is probably just waiting for that opportunity. Your Company could take a big hit…”

Eris shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t care…”

They all stood up, “Alright, Let’s move…” Touma said, And they all disappeared as if they weren’t there in the first place.

The Shadows Hidden Deep within started to move once Again. Unknown to the residents of Remnant, The Flames of Destruction would rain upon them once more.

Eris was Lazily walking down the road and sheHas already spotted her Target. It was a blond Faunus, with a monkey tail protruding from his backside.

They were hanging out in the streets near the docks. Many people Pass by because it’s also the fastest way to the commercial District.

Sun Wukong, He was sitting on an empty crate lazily staring at the Moon. Beside him is a Blue Haired Youth. Trying to pick up girls that passed them by. The two of them were quite successful, well the blue haired one at least. They recently Arrived in beacon to train and compete in the Vytal Festival Tournament.

Eris smiled and Approached the two of them. The blue haired youth named Neptune looked towards the Beautiful Blonde Woman that was nearing them. His eyes opened wide, for she is probably the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. Sun was the same, he was slack jawed too stunned to even detect the tiniest sliver of Bloodlust she was emitting towards him.

As they were appreciating her beauty she suddenly disappeared, The two rubbed their eyes. Thinking that they just saw a ghost, a very beautiful ghost.

*Bam!*

Neptune was suddenly hit on his side, Flinging him towards a nearby wall. Eris held back a lot, she wanted to have fun first. Sun opened his eyes He was brought back to reality when Eris attacked, Neptune was replaced by Eris in an instant. He immediately brought out His signature weapons. Ryuji Bang And Jingu Bang.

He spun his staff, And charged towards the Barehanded Eris. He kept trying to hitting her vital parts. She just smirked at him and parried those off with just her palms.

Then a Trident suddenly flew towards their direction. Eris flipped to dodge the weapon, But Neptune immediately followed up with a kick. Eris grabbed his leg and threw him into another wall.

Sun grabbed Neptune’s Trident and threw it across Eris to Neptune. Eris just moved her body away. Neptune then grabbed the weapon and Transformed it into a gun. He kept firing at Eris. Sun did the same, his staff changed into nunchucks. The flipped and spun his weapons towards Eris. His weapon sliced the air, with every strike the hits go faster and faster.

But to Eris this was slow, Very Slow. She gave them a very disappointed expression as she dodged their attacks fully. She disappeared once more and grabbed Neptune in the head. She lifted him up, and kept hammering his stomach with her fists.

“I don’t need you, but I want you to send a message.” When Neptune heard what she said, it sent shivers down his spine. He took on the full brunt of her bloodlust.

Sun attacked once more, She threw Neptune towards a wall. Sun stuck towards her, But before he could do anything. Eris Took away his weapons. She checked the two nunchucks and spun them around her body. Everytime Sun approached he would be hit randomly, He found Eris smirking at him. “Weak… This is disappointing, I thought that this hunt would go differently. *Sigh* I want to switch places with Touma…”

She chopped Sun on the Back of His head, and left the bloodied Neptune on the side. “As for you blue hair… You go tell them that Eris sends her regards…”

She calmly walked away carrying Sun by the scruff. She headed to the Park where She and Haruki sat down on.

——————

The same Night…

Team JNPR have just finished Training at the empty park. Jaune tiringly asked Pyrrha, “Uhm, Pyrrha? we’ve done this for the past 2 days. What’s this for?”

Pyrrha looked towards them, “Well, so we could win the Vytal festival?” She said as her eyes darted around the place.

Jaune tilted his head, “Huh? Is that it? We’re already training for it in the morning. I think more training could only hurt us.”

Ren nodded his head, “Yes Pyrrha, Extensive training could only hurt us.”

Pyrrha sighed, “I’m sorry guys. It’s just that I have a lot in mind lately. I wanted to clear my head with more training. I’m sorry for dragging you guys along.”

Jaune smiled towards her, “Well… As the leader of this team I declare we shall train with you. Because you’re our teammate and our friend.”

Nora chimed in, “I personally don’t mind, as long as I COULD EAT PANCAKES!!!”

They all laughed together, not noticing the person sitting down on a nearby bench. It was Eris. She has already taken Sun, and sent her men to carry him back to Aergia’s Laboratory.

She was observing Team JNPR, as she was about to call out to them, for two of her targets were with Her. A bony Hand Clutched her shoulders. “Eris…”

She quickly kneeled, “Yes, Lord Greed. What brings you here?”

He stretched out his bony hands, “It’s way to boring inside. Being cooped up in that cave for so long can be… Boring. So I decided to go out and breath the fresh air of Despair! HeheheheHahahahahhaaha!!!”

In front of Her was a Man who was covered in Ragged Black Cloth. With Gold Chains and accessories adorning his body. His body was composed of skeletons And Red outlines Racing across his skin, pulsating…

The Skeleton Laughed Heartily, “Hehehehehahahahahaha!! I am pleased with your efforts so far, Eris.”

She was still kneeling, “I don’t deserve your praise Lord Greed.”

Greed’s eyes gleamed, He looked towards Team JNPR’S direction. “Those kids, that Red Haired Girl in particular… She’s quite the character. I Like her, Her Hunger for more power. Resonates with me…

Her Greed.”

Eris looked up, “My Lord, Are you- -” Before she could finish, Greed peered directly to her soul. “Do not question me! Hehehehehe! I don’t know yet, but in time… we’ll see.”

He turned into mist, Leaving a dumbfounded Eris. She stared at the Direction of Team JNPR, one last time before walking away into the shadows of the night.

Greed appeared on top of a Building, Overlooking them as they went towards Beacon Academy. “King of a country, Huh? That’s way too small Corvus. Pride you’re also an idiot…

If you’re going to destroy the world… Why don’t you just strive to become ruler of all!?” He grasped towards the Moon. A Goblet Filled with Blood appeared in his hand.

His crazed Laughter Echoed throughout Vale. But when the people checked where the sound came from. There was only a dark miasma left, And Not a Trace of Greed.
