Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

The excess energy that the system received appeared to be used by the system in giving him a card.

A black card floated before Azekiel as if waiting for him to hold it. There was no choice this time. There was only one card.

Wondering what was in this card, he reached out his hand toward it. His fingers gently touched the card.

As soon as the illusory card was touched, it appeared to become a reality. It was a solid card that felt like it was made from plastic. It wasn't too strong either. If he wasn't careful, he could easily break the card with his strength.

"What's that card?"

On one hand, Leor was crying and asking for forgiveness from her sister for not being able to resist the command. On the other hand, Lia and Raphael asked him about the black card in his hands.

Only the Orcs didn't know what to do. The trees that had come to life returned to the way they used to be before. It didn't look like there was going to be a battle.

"I have no idea." Azekiel hoped that it was a Summoning Card, but he had a feeling that this was something different since there was no choice this time.

He turned the card around and read what was written on the card. "This card..."

Azekiel's lips slightly parted as he read what was written on the card. Since it was a physical card, even Raphael and Lia read what was written on it. Both of them were slightly taken aback reading the description that was on the card.

"Is that even possible?"

***************************************

Card of Control

Description: Allows you to create a Soul Familiar of your choice from the ones you've killed.

Limitation 1: It can only be used once

Limitation 2: It can only be used on the ones you've killed and within twenty-four hours of death

******************************

The things written on the card came as an absolute surprise to everyone, including Azekiel. The card wasn't a Card that allowed him to summon great Warriors from the past. Instead, if allowed him to create a Familiar of his own choice!

"This card..."

He stood up, gazing at the beautiful black card. He understood what this card implied and just how special it was. In fact, he found the card to be even more useful than normal Familiar Summoning Choice Cards.

This card allowed him to basically create his own version of Familiar. With this, he could make anyone into his Familiar, and it didn't appear to be limited. As he thought about the card, his first thought went to the Kings.

If he used that card on one of the Kings after killing them, he could make that King his Familiar! After that, he could summon that King to fight for him. Unfortunately, even the Kings were too weak for him in the grand scheme of things. His attention soon shifted to an even grander picture.

"Avila... If I can kill him and make her my familiar, I can have her as a Warrior. Her invincible Armor can make her a really powerful ally."

The biggest flaw he could see with the card was that it could only be used once. He didn't want to waste it.

He glanced at the Triad Queen. "If there wasn't any limitation on the card usage, she could've been one too. But I can't waste it on her."

The Triad Queen was a really powerful opponent if it came to battle, especially when it came to her crowd control skills. She could create as many warriors as she needed when she was in a forest. Even outside the forests, she was supposed to be stronger.

As a Soul Familiar, she could also be used in battles. Unfortunately, she wasn't killed by him. And even if she were, he wouldn't have selected her. He decided to keep the card in reserve for now, waiting to see if he was ever going to need it. For now, there was no need.

He kept the card in his inventory, focusing back on the task at hand. He still wasn't done here.

The Triad Queen was now dead. That meant Leor was the new Queen. Through her, she had an infinite access to the Triad Domain, at least until the effect of his Mark of Servitude lasted. He didn't want to have that mark go to waste. It couldn't stay there for an eternity, especially since it was originally made for a beast.

It was never used on a Triad before, so even if it succeeded, Lia warned him that the mark was most probably going to become ineffective soon. Based on her conservative estimates, the Mark could at least last for a day. After that, it was mostly luck.

With that in mind, Azekiel knew that he needed to finish everything before Leor was free.

"Enough crying over who is gone. It was her own fault for trying something she shouldn't have. I gave you an option! All I wanted was access to Liam. Despite that, you schemed with her to take me out instead of giving me access to Liam."

"Things didn't need to happen like that, but because of you, this was the only way left. I am still giving you an option. Take me inside your Domain and help me kill Liam. If you do, I'll let the Triads live safely. I will never trouble you again, and I'll also free you from the restriction of the mark."

This time, Azekiel didn't issue a command to Leor, even though he could have her do whatever he wanted. He gave her the freedom to decide for now.

"You are the Queen now. So you shall decide what's the best for your people. Do you want a conflict with me? Or do you want to side with me? If you choose the latter, peace can once again return to the Triad Clan. The Orcs and the Triads can live at peace again, forgetting the past. Decide..."

Azekiel stood with his hands behind his back as if waiting for Leor's answer. Even though her face was stained with tears, Leor heard Azekiel's demands clearly. She wiped her tears.

She couldn't be weak now. She was the Queen. She had to be strong... For the sake of her clan.

Moreover, even she felt that things wouldn't have fallen to this level if her sister had agreed to hand over Liam. Instead, they chose to target him, which was possibly their biggest mistake.

Could she really afford to make that mistake again? Could she really be that stupid? Or was she to forget the tragic past and side with him?
