Thus, as early as seven o'clock in the morning, people were out in the streets, making up for the last two days of inactivity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peddlers, smiths, craftsmen, teachers, drivers, cleaners - all working members of the society brought the city alive. It was like a grand theater opening up for a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal palace stood in the center of it all, its lofty presence a stark contrast to the plebeian houses below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well-dressed guards routinely walked on the tall walls around it. They would look at the civilians struggling for their lives from high above with a deep sense of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, have you heard? One of the court mages has gone missing…\" A 2nd Circle guard leaned on a bastion's railings, turning to his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, they're saying that he's succumbed to evil!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can it be?\" A young female guard joined in. \"Sir Ivan is my idol and he's at the 4th Circle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter.\" The earlier guard folded his arms. \"There's even a bounty on his head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bounty?\" The female guard frowned. \"They must be framing Sir Ivan-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh. Keep your voice down.\" The other two guards quickly distanced themselves from her and assumed a composed posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, a third circle captain passed by and only then did they relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the inner garden where the queen and her attendants were strolling, the oldest male guard complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, you're going to kill us one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's not talk about this for now…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing them, the female guard was about to say something when a bird landed on a nearby crenel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A message?\" She quickly caught the bird and untied the piece of paper on its foot. As she began unfolding it, the other guards came beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Commander!\" The female guard's eyes widened. \"He's back from the border.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message quickly spread from one guard to another, reaching everyone's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the garden below, Isobel, who was with Queen Sophia, also heard this piece of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It appears I'll be leaving soon, Your Majesty.\" The assassin smiled, as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since coming to Ulford, the Isenwings had stayed at the palace on the pretense of protecting the royal family. However, they couldn't do that anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon, Isobel made up a reason to part with the queen. After leaving the garden, she turned into a dark shadow and entered the palace's right wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another shadow followed her closely on the way. They both entered a guest room on the third floor. Inside, a tall man dressed in noble attire stood by the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Storm Holder is back.\" Heath turned around with a grim expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've checked.\" Emory followed up. \"Even the army is back. It appears Bors took time to gather the troops stationed around the borders. That's why he took so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do we do now?\" Isobel asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Heath was about to reply, he suddenly looked toward the open window. A grey figure flew in, blowing a gust of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor!\" The clan heads quickly bowed toward the young man dressed in white robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm.\" Zevik nodded. It had been three and a half hours since he returned to Ulford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd even tried sneaking up in the Holy Cathedral but that Archbishop immediately sensed him. Zevik had no choice but to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the Paladin should've already spilled everything about the assassination attempt. However, Joseph still hadn't made his move. Something in the royal palace deterred him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One trouble was resolved, but now another is coming.' Zevik shook his head and turned to his descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It appears you three are already aware.\" He said, \"I've informed the master. We must act now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the three assassins felt a rush of adrenaline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what about Bors? He's already at the city gates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll hold him off.\" Zevik's figure swiftly disappeared from the room, but his voice remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secure the targets. Our help will arrive in at most two days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike for the residents of Ulford, it wasn't a peaceful morning for the people in Driftin. Monsters poured from the south while a terrifying dragon attacked from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time noon approached, half of the city was already burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the provincial capital of Gaephia, the adventurers in Driftin were fairly capable. Jake was surprised to find two 4th Circlers present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were members of a top B-rank party which held off the hordes of monsters for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first wave, there were no powerhouses other than Yvonne and Jake himself. On the other hand, the second wave had a fifth circler and thirteen fourth circlers, including the four elf captains\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Jake had distributed his forces in such a manner was because of his confidence in the dragon girl. She alone could go against a dozen peak 4th Circlers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even ordinary fifth circlers wouldn't be able to do much to her. Only someone at the peak of the 5th Circle could possibly be her match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the two powerhouse adventurers at Driftin didn't last long before being roasted to death by her flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pity.\" Jake sighed as he watched their charred corpses falling from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Once I advance to the fifth circle, I'll finally be able to corrupt others.' He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the advancement to the 4th Circle, a qualitative change happens in the body and mind of a being, cementing a massive gap from the 3rd Circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone were to go one step higher and reach the 5th Circle, there would be another powerful change. The condensation of one's soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For beings below the 5th Circle, their soul is entirely tied to their body and only gets released once they either die or a higher being pulls it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a 5th Circler can exit out of their body and even possess others! Though possessing a living body is still extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can even survive living without a body for some time. At the 5th Circle, a being has finer control of one's soul, and by extension, mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S\u002Fhe can not only divide portions of their soul, but also perform rudimentary clone techniques. Thus, killing someone at or above this rank was way more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My [Degeneration Halo] will be boosted a lot once I advance.\" Jake smirked, looking at the status screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mortal Souls Collected (185,034\u002F100,000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>''Looks like I'll be able to get twice the required quota of souls…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that wasn't even his greatest harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Evil Points: 2,355,716]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these past four days, Jake had surprisingly racked up a lot of points. Although he did commit sinful activities, it shouldn't be that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after checking the system logs, Jake realised something. Most of the evil points came from the acts of other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In this conquest, my influence has reached far and wide.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed and Pride were the greatest contributors this time, rather than just Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With two million evil points, I can buy a lot of things. But first…\" Jake scrolled below, and clicked on the first icon he'd ever used in this system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sinner's Roulette (Available. Requires 1,000,000 Evil Points to spin again.)]\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-09T06:56:52.719Z",1,"novelbin.me","66aa868eca895717c9d56da990c062c82a3ab05992458a100b8b9917003561f3","sin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation-chapter-250","sin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation-chapter-248",257,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsin-system-demonic-harem-after-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
