Perfect Avatar

Chapter 88: The Beauty of Avarice

A giant statue of an archangel fell in several pieces into the abyss, Dora on the creature's head was covered with a red aura.

Stargazer, a spell from mages called astrologers that allows you to use star magic directly from the body, was an excellent alternative for melee.

He looked up, two archangels raising their halberds, ready to deliver a phenomenal blow.

"Sagittarius"

Rays of light fell from the constellations onto the vault and destroyed both statues instantly.

The power of the constellations is used through a specific mode, Nebula, similar to a transformation of the terrain, whereas Stargazer would rather be a transformation of the body.

Normally, it would be impossible to use both spells simultaneously, and Stargazer had the fault of consuming an excessive amount of energy, yet, here in front of everyone, the boy could use Nebula while holding Stargazer.

It wasn't even that he was switching between them, he continued to glow red and attack smaller angels with Stargazer while he used Nebula to destroy the archangels.

Beyond a certain level, when they specialized in a field, emissaries could no longer rely on soul stones to obtain skills specific to their class.

For example, the usual process was the same: an astrologer like Thomas discovered an affinity with the power of the stars and used elemental stones to increase his magical power.

With practice his magic would eventually evolve into star powers, he could however obtain powers from that branch via soul stones but since no one could predict the contents of a Rift it was like finding a golden dog in every pound in the world.

In Thomas' case, everyone knew his work ethic.

They knew him, whether through words or personally.

Freya, Iris, and the two heirs had known him for years and watched him reach his fantastic level through extensive training, so they could all tell how difficult it was to be a top astrologer.

But right now, in front of them, a boy who had obtained these powers less than two weeks ago displayed complete mastery of this power.

To be more precise, it was more than that, Thomas' vault was a beautiful starry sky with some constellations, covering the arena, but Dora's was an infinite starry sky, with galaxies and asteroids, planets in the distance, it was like being directly in space.

Thomas had a phenomenal mastery of the power of the stars, to put it simply, he was a genius.

All his movements demonstrated an abnormal level of concentration for a young man of this age, it could be read on his face.

You can tell what a person is feeling just with their eyes, and Dora's eyes at that moment were a hammer blow to everyone's consciousness.

"Libra"

The boy showed no signs of fatigue, concentration, or excitement, he stared straight ahead, no longer paying attention to the monsters around him.

"This is so boring", was his thought at that moment.

A few minutes ago, while destroying the monsters, he lost all passion and care, all he had to do was use one skill and that was it.

He could have used the same move endlessly, but he decided to review his catalog just so he wouldn't fall asleep.

The reason for this miracle was not that complicated: Synergy.

Sigma's power allowed him to freely use Stargazer, while Gamma allowed the use of Nebula.

The rest, his endurance, the amount of constellation he used, it was all due to his nature.

This was not a feat accessible to any human being, not even the Sin Avatars.

This was Greed's true power, the ability to not only master a skill but to take it far beyond.

No one dared to speak, because they could witness the full extent of the infinity of the true Avatars.

"Sun"

A gigantic orb of flame had formed above them, far away in space.

Dora raised his hands and the angels were caught in his gravitational magic and converged on the star.

Midgard nodded at the statistics and sighed slightly annoyed.

"This might take longer than expected..."

"Long?" Candace looked at her in shock. "Longer than that? It lasted a few minutes! How do you expect it to be faster? How did he do it so fast???"

She shook her head, paralyzed like everyone else.

"This is the power of Greed, we must follow a specific pattern to move to the next level."

"What pattern? Can you do it tonight?" Elizabeth asked.

Midgard took a thoughtful pose and looked up at the sky.

"Sloth, can you control the monster race in your Rifts?"

"Well, yes I can, does it matter?"

"Yeah, look, we'll need more time than we thought, we need twelve more Rifts to get a boost in his different ranks, and we'll also need Dora to complete Rifts with different jobs."

"Jobs?" The dean nodded, intrigued.

"Just create as many rifts as you can... In fact, just stay out there and keep creating more, until you're really exhausted, Dora will clear them all."

The dean opened her eyes wide.

As far as she remembered, she had never received this kind of request.

She crossed her arms, worried that she was able to do it.

"Don't bother Mid, it's Sloth, it's probably above her pay grade." Dora smiled, hovering above them.

"... Alright, we'll see if you can keep up with the Rifts I'm going to throw at you, stupid kid."

"It's bold of you to say 'keep up' to someone."

There were at least ten meters between them, but when Dora opened her eyes, the dean's foot was beside him, missing him by a few centimeters.

They were all outside a little later, several light cards circling around Candace.

"Alright, did you want a lot of Rifts? There! I'll do 22 every ten minutes! Do your worst!"

Dora looked at Midgard and both smiled at each other.

He began to stretch his arms, wondering what style he would use when Iris's sword stuck to the ground.

"Wait a minute, you can't shake a meat in front of me and not expect me to take a bite!"

The three looked at her incomprehension, but soon the others joined her.

"She's right," Freya followed. "I understand that you need to reach C-rank before we join your raids, but if we're just going to watch, we might as well go back to our room."

"Hm... the point is, we need this brat to be as dynamic as possible if you know what I mean."

"Hm... How about a challenge?" Elizabeth joined them. "Dora against everyone except me, and Eryl, Miss Candace creates as many Rifts as possible and the winner is the one who clears the most Rifts? And Iris can't use any skill or weapon, a real challenge for everyone."

They looked at each other in sync.

The idea of ??only teaming up against Dora seemed quite shameful but they also understood that he was already way above the level of mot of them.

"Very good for me." Dora cracked his fingers. "I'll even give you a handicap by always using only one move."

"Just when I think you can't disrespect me anymore... Alright, I'll make sure you eat your words." Freya focused her energy.

"Should we call Mercy?" asked Zuri, noticing that the girl still hadn't returned.

"You guys begin, I'll go see her." Elizabeth turned around and jumped out of the arena in a single bound.

The others made their final preparations and stood facing the Rifts.

Freya, faced with the breath of the vortex, felt an excitement that had been foreign to her until then.

She looked at Dora with a smile.

"If we win this, you should get a punishment, don't you think?"

"Please, we all know I'm going to win, but go ahead."

She clenched her fist and put it to her chest, her smile illuminating her face.

"If we win, you will join my house."

"Haaa?!" Zuri roared. "Won't you ever give up?!"

"I didn't necessarily mean as my knight, but as a sort of partnership."

"Ah? T-then me too!" Solaria puffed her chest. "If we win you will be linked to me forever!"

They both looked at the Rift, determined and ready to destroy everything.

Dora looked at them and stared back at his Rift.

"If I win, you will both address Zuri as your mistress."

Their faces turned blue and their jaws opened.

Eryl couldn't hold her laugh while Candace and Oddegürd sighed.

They looked at Zuri with flashes in their eyes.

"... My... What is this weakness that I suddenly feel in my tummy? kukuku..."
