Chapter 137 Consume Devil To Grow In Strength!
Lenny was always one to take his time when he was walking.
It was probably one of the many reasons why the job of an assassin suited him well.
He prefers working where it was quiet and if possible but not absolutely necessary, when it was dark.
At the moment, he was operating on the body before him.
He really did not like the environment. Not because of the location.
But because of the constant distractions. This did not mean that the noise affected him. But that the constant interruption pulled him out of the zone.
An example would be the gladiator that had eaten a Devil’s pill that’s as trying to sneak up behind him.
At the moment, his teammates were fighting vigorously against the gladiators.
While Lenny placed the corpse of the dead man with long blades sticking out of his body on a high slab.
He whistled his favorite tune lowly.
Lenny could not help but wonder how icons like Michael Jackson would feel if they knew he was now living the life of the song Thriller.
It made him chuckle a bit, and he continued with his tune as he carefully sliced up the body before him.
For every blade he pulled out, he pulled out with the muscle surrounding it. That way, it could make for a handle when he wanted to use it.
Lenny enjoyed the peaceful state of cutting flesh that his mind was so fun of constantly slipping into whenever he had a specimen on the operating table, and under the sharp but gently touch of his slicing blade.
Lenny suddenly threw a Pincer from the storage ring into the air.
Meanwhile, the Gladiator behind him approached gently, lifting his chaos magic mutated claws for his head.
Lenny did not move, and anyone watching would have thought that he was not aware of the attack.
However, before the gladiator could bring down his hands, Lenny raised a finger, pointing up.
Instinctively, the gladiator raised his head.
The Pincer that Lenny had thrown into the air fell with it’s blades right in the center of the gladiators head, just in between his glowing red eyes.
*Slush!*
It slide in like hit knife throw butter pinning him to the ground.
It was in this manner he met his end.
Lenny continued whistling as he cut deep, removing yet another Kitana looking blade.
He waved it around a bit, before sending it to his storage unit.
Yet again, another Gladiator came for him, but he waved his hand and a Kitana he had sent to the storage was sent straight for her head.
For Lenny, their constant attack on him was not a problem. Rather, it was just a nuisance he did not like.
After all, he did not have any of them in his sight.
They were just too low level for him to give any of his attention.
For everyone of them he slaughtered, their Arena masters back at the Arena felt a pang in their hearts.
After all, this was reducing the chances they had at winning the competition.
Just then, A222 walked up to Lenny, “are you done yet!?”
Lenny sighed. It seemed like he would not be able to enjoy his moment.
“Almost done,” he whispered as he removed the final blades from the body of the gladiator.
He was even able to find some abnormally curvy blades that made him tempted to blush in excitement.
While he answered her, there was suddenly a loud GROWL which was followed by an even louder SCREAM.
Lenny and the others immediately looked in the direction of the Growl.
There all knew that there was no way that groql was from a normal person.
Even the gladiators they fought that had taken the Devil’s pill did not growl like that.
“It seems like it’s finally about to get interesting,” A222 commented as she placed a hand on the ground, closing her eyes.
Lenny turned to her, “what do you mean!?”
She turned to him, “I can hear them! The Devils.”
When it came to sensing the environment, Lenny had to admit that his perception ability was not as advanced as A222.
This was a natural born gift she was blessed with.
At a corner, E666 was struggling with a gladiator. This one was stronger than her.
Lenny waved his hand and killed the last Gladiator that E666 was struggling with using a Kitana.
“Thank you,” she muttered avoiding his eyes.
However, Lenny raised a brow at her in question.
He did not know how to explain that he was not saving her her life, but saving her death for his hands only.
He was not one to enjoy sharing kills with others.
The only reason he had not gone on a rampage like he so wished was because he was still not sure as to how this Dungeon was going to be.
In other words, it was just a lack of information.
Lenny loved solo, but he was not ignorant of the benefits of other people.
Of course, this was based on the strong assumption that they were still useful.
E666 noticed his strong look on her, and fear made her instinctively hide behind a rock.
This Dungeon at its insides reminded Lenny of the Chimera nest.
There were holes at nearly every turn and corner.
The only difference was that it was not as illuminated as the Chimera cave because of a lack of the glowing mushrooms and moss.
It was really dark with red Maisma flowing through the caves.
Also, it smelled quite horrible. Lenny could tell that a person like A222 was really suffering in here.
They advanced forward in the direction of the Growl and scream.
They had barely taken a few steps when they came across a strange being.
It was so skinny, that it might as well been a skeleton wrapped in skin and red fur.
It had long claws on both hands and feet.
It moved on all floors on the ceiling like it was a spider.
And when it saw the advance if Lenny’s group, it’s head that looked like that of a goat with one glowing red eye in the middle turned a full three hundred and sixty degrees.
“What the fucking Hell!?” A123 who was one of Lenny’s teammates cursed at this.
“Careful, it’s a fucking Devil,” A222 adviced.
However, before she could finish talking, the devil on the ceiling moved.
It hopped like a young rabbit enjoying the meadow. From wall to wall it went.
It was so fast, that their eyes could barely keep up with it.
It suddenly hopped on E321. It’s mouth opened in an abnormal manner, revealing rows and rows of jaggard teeth so sharp a shark would have been left in envy.
It’s head came down in an aggressive bite for his head as its claws sank into his body like quick sand.
*CRUNCH!*
It took a deep satisfying bite. It also reminded Lenny of those guys in his former world eating burgers during food contests.
Although the devil had not yet separated the bitten side from the rest of it’s prey, it did not look as if it was going to let go either.
~AHHHH!!!~
E321 screamed at the top of his lungs as he continually stroke the devil with the cutlass in his hand.
Again and again he hacked however, his attacks seemed to do nothing.
“That won’t work. Use your Fucking Darkline magic!”
However, it was too late. The teeth sank deeper as blood splashed out in all directions.
And then the devil pulled out.
The aggressive bite it had taken revealed brain matter from the unbitten half.
The teeth of the creature seemed to have life of its own as it forced the roughly bitten out half head that was obviously too big down the slender throat. .
Immediately, A222 rushed at it with her spear.
However, it’s flexibility was outstanding.
She had targeted it’s chest, but almost looked as if the ribs of the creature had folded at an unusual angle to let it dodge.
She attacked again and again, and it moved in that manner, jumping unto the ceiling once more.
Surprisingly, through out the entire process, it never stopped chewing, forcing the crushed head into its slender throat.
It swallowed.
It was as if the massive head it had just eaten had disappeared somewhere within it’s body.
Meanwhile, the rest of the corpse fell to the ground.
The Devil looked once more in their direction and immediately jumped forward.
This time around, it’s target was C900.
However just as it’s enlarged jaw opened before C900’s eyes, a Sword appeared from its mouth.
*SLUSH!*
Lenny’s kitana pierced right into it’s skull.
“Hmmm! It would seem that any kind of magic can kill them!” Lenny commented.
These Kitanas Lenny used were already bathed in Chaos magic as a result of the Devil’s pill.
<Alert>
<Consume Devil to grow in strength>
Lenny saw the alert and a smile appeared on his face.
