Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked with horror at the new mosquito.

One Sin Monster was already painful enough, but now there were two!?

Gravis immediately felt the terrifying pain of the new bite. Even worse, the Sin Monsters seemed to bite in an alternating pattern, giving Gravis double the instances of pain.

He would have preferred for them to do it simultaneously.

Mortis looked solemnly at the new mosquito. "I don't believe that this is normal," he said.

"What do you mean?" Gravis asked, his voice shaking slightly. His mind wasn't in the best of shape. Otherwise, he would have noticed the same thing.

"It's too fast," Mortis said. "If they keep doubling, you will die in less than a century. That's not a reasonable timeframe to deal with your Sin Aura. If they keep doubling, this would be a death sentence."

"However, I can imagine one getting added every week. With this, it would take the Sin Monsters around 10,000 years to fully consume you," Mortis said.

"That's still too short!" Gravis said with a nervous voice.

"There may be a way to slow them down," Mortis said. "These Sin Monsters exist to push you towards paying back your debt. I guess that the more you pay back, the slower they multiply."

"How can we test it?" Gravis asked nervously. Usually, Gravis would have found a way himself, but the pain was making it nearly impossible for him to focus.

Right now, Gravis fully relied on Mortis' mind.

"We need to wait for the next addition," Mortis said. "We need to check if the time has shortened."

"Shortened? How? Why?" Gravis asked.

If this counts towards your payback, the last multiplication should have already been a delayed one. Now, we need to
