RWBY: Path Of Blood 30 Chapter 23: The 'Sinner' Of Greed

Humanity has always been anch.o.r.ed upon benefits; it was a wonder how many lives the single word called 'Greed' had destroyed...

Such is this man standing before Haruki...

The 'Sinner' of Greed...

Haruki asked who he was...

The green Haired man smiled and bowed...

He removed his mask revealing a handsome face riddled with scars...

"I am the 'Sinner' of Greed, Corvus! The previous King of the Fallen Kingdom of Isidore!"

Cinder was shocked... "What??!!! that was 6000 years ago!" Her expression darkened, but she continued. "The Kingdom that fell overnight..."

Corvus laughed "Hahahahahaha indeed, a kingdom that was covered in gold... the place I once called home... Now in ruins..."

Cinder then realized who he was... "The Raven King!!! One of the most powerful and Smartest kings of History..."

"You were also called the Mad King Corvus, you were so greedy that you took the nearby kingdoms gold and supplies... But they banded together and destroyed your kingdom..."

Corvus frowned and slowly drew his blade...

"Not all you hear or read in books are true... but.... whatever that's close enough..."

Haruki also summoned mournful Vengeance and Fenrir Fangs.

Corvus smiled as he walked slowly he looked at the weapons Haruki was holding...

"Hohhh... interesting what are your weapons made up off? I really want to take those weapons for myself..."

Haruki ignored him and asked "You said you were a sinner? what the f.u.c.k does that mean?"

Corvus shrugged, and he dashed towards Haruki...

"Does it matter?? I honestly just want to cut you open and see the mystery behind your powers!! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me where did your powers come from!?"

"You are the next best thing after the Sins!!!"

Neo attacked Corvus and they Teamed up against him.

Cinder and Emerald were firing arrows and bullets, trying to make an opening for Haruki.

He swung his two Great swords flinging Neo back...

"Neo!! s.h.i.t! everyone stay back!"

Cinder Summoned a circle of flames below Corvus...

"Woah!!! it seems we have a fall maiden in the midst!! Hahahahahaha this is so fun!!!"

He threw his great sword towards Cinder, while blocking Harukis slash.

Haruki activated lightning form, and appeared infront of Cinder to parry the blade.

Cinder was shocked she expected Haruki to ignore her plight.

As Haruki Parried the thrown blade upwards, Corvus appeared below Haruki slashing upwards.

"Where are you looking at?? hahahahahah!!!"

But Jet black Dire wolves clung all over Corvus immobilizing him.

Haruki Held Cinders waist and fled towards the distance.

"You're just full of surprises aren't ya!!!??" He tore off the jaw of one of the dire wolves that was biting him. He then killed all of the dire wolves biting him.

"C'mon boy!? don't tell me this is all you got??"

Haruki continued to clash blades with him.

Cinder has already created arrows and fired it towards Corvus.

Corvus summoned a pocket s.p.a.ce crack and brought out another weapon of his...

A Jet Black longsword it's cross guard is adorned by a Raven head...

He used it to block Cinders arrows.

When he brought out that sword it slowly healed his bite wounds.

"Hehehe this is getting fun!!" He kicked his fallen great sword towards Emerald.

The great sword went through emerald... cutting her in half...

"Hahahaha whoops!!!" Corvus laughed...

While he was distracted by emeralds semblance Haruki used lightning form and slashed towards Corvus' chest.

"Ohh I see, I see, I see!!!! I like your semblance!!"

He summoned another s.p.a.ce crack and summoned a dagger, he tried to stab it towards emerald...

Haruki used The dire wolves to block his dagger.

*Pshhhh* the dire wolves slowly faded, and Haruki was already in front of Corvus, Haruki nailed his fist towards Corvus' face.

*Crash!!* Corvus flew towards the trees creating a huge path between them.

*Cough cough* "*KehHeheheheHahahahahahahhaha!!!!!"

Corvus slowly stood up and he snapped back his dislocated shoulder... Laughing madly He spit out the blood and said.

"Hehehehehe!!! You know I probably would have enjoyed this fight more if you weren't protecting this weaklings!"

Corvus created a black magic circle underneath him, and he was covered in jet black armor that looks like a crow...

"What!? You could use magic!?" Cinder screamed... she wanted this kind of power, she yearned for it...

Corvus raised his eyebrows and asked..."You can't use it? miss fall maiden!? Hahahahaha!!! f.u.c.king of course I can use it, I'm from the age of Magic!!"

Harukis expression Darkened... 'Magic huh f.u.c.k I have to take this guy more seriously...'

He charged towards Corvus using Lightning Form, He broke Salem's seal and used Gravity I, he tried to slow him down... And added a little weight towards his sword...

Noticing this Corvus created a red magic circle in his hand and fired off a fire beam towards Haruki.

Haruki immediately used [Reflecting Moon].

He slashed towards Corvus, but his armor was tougher than expected...

But Haruki suddenly heard a ding* He successfully stunned Corvus using Mournful Vengeance...

He then used Vorpal strike. He stabbed his sword towards the ground creating multiple blades...

He heard another ding* tripling the damage output, but it only broke Corvus' shoulder armor...

"Hehehehehe this is a fight!!!! You remind me of an old friend of mine... He was a good fighter just like you..."

"I bet you know who he is! it's f.u.c.king Ozma!!! that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!! Hahahahahahah!!!"

Everyone wondered what he meant, but Haruki knew who it was...

Dread crept up all over Haruki, this old man is as powerful as Ozpin on his peak...

Corvus created a black magic circle around both of them... a sound isolation barrier...

"I never beat him you know... after he fell ill I was struck with shock... even the most powerful man I knew died..."

He charged at Haruki crossing blades with him.

"Just a single sickness... could cause one of the strongest man fall down to his knees, I hated him for that..."

"I didn't join Salem's mad quest for immortality... Because I knew, she was just doing it to revive Ozma..."

"And thus came the wave of destruction the G.o.d of darkness made... I don't know why... but after it was done I didn't die..."

"But I was all alone in my kingdom... the kingdom I worked so hard to create!!! the kingdom where my family resided!!"

"I hated the G.o.ds for what they've done... so I tried to kill myself..."

"But reality disappointed me, I still didn't die... I wondered if I was being punished by the G.o.ds too... but I was a good ruler!! I ruled in peace!!"

He received the triple damage output of Mournful Vengeance head on as Haruki slashed towards him...

But it had no effect...

Corvus removed his armor and showed the mark on his arm...

The mark of Greed...

Corvus then continued.

"I don't know when this appeared, but the sins were unnoticed by the G.o.ds, so I thought to myself... What if they were here before them??... that they were laying dormant...."

"So I searched the world... then I found the Temple of Greed... I... Found Him... it was greed himself!!"

"He told me, I was chosen to become his representative for this realm! I could have all the treasures in this world if I served him..."

"I never gave a f.u.c.k about those... I just wanted them back!!!! So I rebuilt my empire from the ground!! So I scoured the land for treasures, ama.s.sing a fortune and treasures that could rival the age of magic!!! I pretended to serve the Sins... because I wanted the treasure that could bring them back...."

He laughed..."Salem costed me everything... but I couldn't blame her, I hated her at the beginning, but soon I understood she was only trying to bring ozma back!!!"

They punched each other in the face sending them both back...

"But then Ozma really came back!!! But he tried to stop me from getting more treasure! He destroyed my empire along with Salem!! those two claimed to be G.o.ds!!!"

Corvus created a 3 layered magic Circle and Punched it towards Harukis stomach... Haruki used [Exploding Star] to nullify it.

I will never forget the day he betrayed me!!! I will destroy them both along with the G.o.ds, by then I will have revived my dead family... my empire!!!!"

"So I became a sinner!! Servant of the sins!! I am GREED!! I will take everything!!!"

"Join me boy!!! together we could rule the world!!! f.u.c.k the rest! with your power we could use the other sinners and kill the sins!!!"

"Like a great sword I will raise you up, and our enemies will shatter against us! The spoils of a thousand victories, nay a million would be yours!!!"

"I offer you this choice would you serve justice... or rule above all of creation!!! Don't be like Ozma!! Foolishly he chose duty above all..."

Haruki after listening to Greed's story yawned...

"Holy f.u.c.k Corvus you talk too f.u.c.king much... But my choice is... to kill you and get done with it..."

Haruki Summoned Warmonger and Transformed into a Jet-black werewolf.

"You see old man, I don't care about you, Salem's, or Ozpins plans... I have mine so, f.u.c.k you, and your grand bulls.h.i.t 'foolproof' plan and shove it up your a.s.shole!"

Haruki roared at Corvus not Holding back he slashed, scratched and clawed at him, taking advantage of his armorless state.

He punched corvus in the face, And casted Devour on Corvus...

(Successful... You have received 75% of Corvus' weapon skills)

Haruki was smiling, "Well now that the playing field is even... time to play!!!"

But then as he was charging at him, Corvus created multiple Magic circles surrounding Haruki.

"Hehehehehe taste my Tempest Hammer!!!"

He slammed his hands towards the ground and the magic circles barraged Haruki, covering the entire area with smoke...

As the smoke cleared Haruki was standing there unharmed surrounded by the void bats...

"Hehehehehe, Thanks for the fuel Corvus!!!"

He activated lightning form and appeared beside corvus, slashing at him.

Sending Corvus flying towards the forest...
