"...Why?"

Since it was showing things from the first person POV, Evan could not see the expression on his face but he could imagine how distorted it must have been.

Perhaps hearing his small mutter, the Pride from a thousand years ago, who was seated on a small throne that had been constructed with magic, closed the book in her hands as she replied.

"I asked them for something politely, and they refused to grant my request.

So, I decided to take it forcefully, nothing serious."

Hearing the words of the high demon, the previous chief grand magus turned towards her, probably glaring at her. This allowed Evan to see a glimpse of how Pride was, a thousand years ago.

Her gaze was she was looking at the chief grand magus as if he was a lower life form, her voice filled with distaste as she frowned and spoke.

"You're holding your head up too high.

Lower yourself."

Her words were like a command mantra as the ambient magic power pressure around him increased exponentially and forced him down to his knees.

This alone was enough to show the disparity in power between the full-powered Sovereign Level existence that was the high demon Pride and the Epic Level Chief Grand Magus.

The video then went on to show how the rest of the seven deadly sins gathered around Pride (except Lust). Envy and Gluttony acted like a big sister taking her little brother out for a trip, Sloth looked like he was sleepwalking, Greed was carrying a bunch of obviously valuable items and Wrath was saying something about the Grand Magus about to go mad from anger.

All of a sudden, the five of them went silent as their gazes all turned in a certain direction as if looking at something invisible, before moving their gazes along a straight line until they all landed on Pride who had gone back to her book.

A second later, a purple-coloured poisoned dagger manifested right beside her head and stabbed into it, spurting out blood that gradually turned black.

"Ha! Got you!

You'd pay for all you've done, Demon!!!"

The figure of a man dressed in black clothes while sporting a crazed expression manifested beside Pride as the man celebrated his success in 'assassinating' the high demon while twisting the dagger in her head and causing blood to splatter.

However, the other Seven deadly sins all sighed as they took steps back. Listening closely, one could hear their mutters.

"He stained Big Sis' book? He's done for."

"He's finished."

"Definitely."

"His soul won't` even get to rest in peace."

Meanwhile, Pride who had a dagger jutting out from the side of her head, heaved a sigh as she spoke in an irritated tone.

"You're the one who got yourself."

The moment those words left her mouth, Evan had to tell Gavin to replay the memory because what happened next made no sense whatsoever.

The man who was holding the dagger into Pride's head, suddenly appeared in front of Pride, with her fingers wrapped around his neck and his dagger in Pride's hand.

What was supposed to be a large poisoned stab wound on her head had disappeared as if it was never there, and even the blood stains were nowhere to be seen.

The high demon then used the dagger to cut the tendons in the man's arms and legs, disabling his movements before proceeding to slowly stab the dagger into his head while grasping his neck tightly and looking him in the eyes.

"I've watched this so many times and I still don't understand exactly what she did there. It didn't look like an illusion or anything but that's what made it weird."

Evan heard Gavin's words but he kept silent while watching Pride make the assassin wish for death as he thought of what Pride had just done.

​ 'There's no doubt, that was her 'Idiosyncrasy'.'

All of the seven deadly sins had abilities that were neither skills, techniques, magic or spells of any kind.

These abilities were unique to them and each 'Sin' had a different ability. Evan knew of the abilities of all the other sins, except Pride.

In the game, one could tell the effects of their abilities during the boss fights by looking at their character stats and seeing the differences, however, Pride's ability didn't even make sense.

Some players thought it was an illusion, some thought she was changing positions via some kind of teleportation, while others thought she was bending space.

There were many theories but no one managed to guess the true identity of her ability.

Even the previous seven heroes were unable to do so either, so Evan naturally didn't know what it was.

Pride had also not used this ability even once ever since Evan had met her, so he couldn't even study it to try and understand it.

He tried asking the high demon, but that was futile because she simply stared at him in silence before going back to her book and ignoring him for the rest of the day.

'But it's really deadly.'

Evan thought as he looked at the figure man who tried to stab Pride, laying on the floor with his arms and legs mangled up with his fingers stuck in his orifices and his dagger stabbed into his head from under his jaw, however, he was still alive for some reason and was completely conscious as he felt his life slowly drain out of him.

It was then that the last member of the Sins, Lust, returned from somewhere with a box in her hands and gave it to Pride, making the leader of the deadly sins nod in satisfaction as she got up from her seat and decided to leave.

The previous chief grand magus tried to stop her but Envy whacked him with her spear, using enough force to shatter the bones of the unfortunate magus while Gluttony drained his magic power to prevent him from using any magic.

They then teleported away, only for Gluttony to return a few seconds later and scream something about their 'sauce not being delicious' before conjuring an orb of energy and slamming it into the ground.

Watching this, Evan felt like that was how the people who were right beside a nuke felt when it hit its target.

But as expected of a peak Epic-level existence, that wasn't enough to kill the previous grand magus even though he was not in a state to battle.

It did put him out of commission for the rest of the war, though.
