I Am Tired Of Being A Hero-Chapter 278: Ten Sins

Lysandra raised her eyebrow. When was the last time Arlen had called her, ’Mum’?

"I know I am not as strong as he is, but I am not going to let him do anything alone. Mum, I don’t want him to be a hero again."

Lysandra looked at her son, the conviction in his eyes was clear and it made Lysandra curious. However, this was not the time to be curious.

"Okay. I understand." When it comes to saving her child, she also does not want someone else to be the hero. She recalled the file that she had seen, the first picture of when Ravi was spotted in Avalon four years ago. Those haunted and dead eyes were a far cry from the light in them right now.

This was her son’s lover, "You don’t need to worry too much. I would keep an eye on him."

"I appreciate that. Mother, you have to be careful too. I want to be a police officer and Anouk prefers saving people, Rey is pregnant. If you fall, the Sinclair family would be at a loss."

Seeing his mother gritting her teeth, Arlen escaped and headed to Ravi’s side.

Lysander shook her head and vanished.

The scent of vanilla enveloped him, causing Ravi to relax a bit. Activating the Sentinel Crest and seeing all these again reminded him of Luxor and his friends.

"There is no mission involving this planet in the Sentinel Database. I just sent out a task for someone to investigate other databases."

"There are other groups besides Sentinels?"

"Yes. There are mercenary groups. Many of them are Ascended Immortals, to get more Spirit stones to cultivate. Of course, they are people that join because of money or because they are bored." He had looked down on groups like that for the longest time but now, he did not feel like they were much different.

Arlen frowned, "How long do you think that it would take to get feedback?"

The Number one ranked individual came online after a hundred years, only to post a task for 100,000 points.

Ravi cocked his head, "Five minutes!"

Before he finished speaking, the crest heated up and there was an incoming message.

Ravi pressed it. The image of a young girl appeared. She looked barely 16 with long pointed ears and flowing green hair that reached her waist. If there was anything different about her from other humans, it was her lower half. The rest of her body was a beautiful shimmering green snake tail.

The moment she locked eyes with Ravi, her green orbs widened and started sparkling.

"It is really Sentinel West. My name is Rose Rose. I am so happy to meet you. Heaven’s Grace. Oh! Oh! Can I record this? Nobody is going to believe me."

"Fuck! What..."

"She is a Lamia."

The girl nodded like she was extremely happy that Ravi knew her species. She nodded her head several times, "Yes. Yes. I am a Lamia."

Ravi’s crest heated up repeatedly. He looked down at the Ring. The Floating Image of the girl seemed to have noticed what was happening and she hurriedly began to speak.

"Sentinel West. I have the Information."

Ravi looked at Arlen who nodded at the girl, "What was the mission?"

Rose Rose looked at this ordinary mortal who was standing so close to Sentinel West and her eyes brightened even more. Was this the reason Sentinel West left after Luxor? He wanted to raise a mortal lover.

She wondered just how much this information would be worth. She stood straight, "Three months ago, a mission was issued to Eva. It is a ..."

"I know what Eva is, get straight to the point." Ravi sighed, he did not know just how they were training Sentinels nowadays.

"Find Alvar and cause him to sin. Reward: 100,000 points. The person who accepted the job is mostly likely the Talisman Master, Zero."

Ravi could feel his heart sinking into his stomach. Oh heavens! How vicious. He immediately disconnected the image from his Crest and turned to look at Arlen.

Arlen, who had been ready to analyze the report, looked confused for a second. He saw the expression on Ravi’s face.

There were flits of fear and pain in his eyes.

"Ravi, what is going on?" Rather than panicking, Arlen became even calmer, his thoughts even clearer, "What does it mean to cause him to sin?"

Ravi did not know how to explain this to Arlen. Where does he even begin? From the Netherworld, reincarnation.

Arlen reached for his hand, "Is Anouk Alvar?"

"Yes."

"This causing him to sin, Is it very dangerous?"

Ravi nodded, "Extremely. Especially if she is killed immediately and does not have a chance to repent. Arlen, it can not happen. It just can’t." It was not just for Anouk but for Malik and for himself and Arlen. This was a mission that King Yama gave him. Every born immortal had a Dao. A Dao they can never change.

If King Yama’s Dao is justice and his lover reincarnates with a mark of sin on him, then even if he does not want to. Even if he fights against it, he would judge Alvar, and condemn him.

"Ravi."

"If your brother commits that kind of grave sin and is killed."

"What kinds of sins would you say are grave?" Arlen asked seriously.

Ravi cocked his head, "Taking the life of a child, a monk, or a person under divine protection is considered an unforgivable sin. Sexual assault on children, the vulnerable, and those who had taken a vow of chastity. Betraying one’s sworn liege. Adultery. Blasphemy against the heaven. Greed that leads to the death of a hundred thousand. Stirring discord that leads to widespread harm. Taking pleasure in inflicting suffering and erasing sacred texts. These are the ten grave sins of the Hell."

Arlen thought over what Ravi said. The two of them had left the dark room, walking downstairs as people rushed to and fro.

"If I was the mission taker. I would choose Number One.

Ravi nodded, "Taking a life is one of the easiest things a person can do." It was far easier to make a person shoot a gun than it was to give them a knife and force them to carve someone up.
