Chapter 157 I Guess I Better Thank The Chef
A123, A222 and C888 subconsciously took several steps back.
After all, Lenny was an acclaimed mad man. It would not be surprising if they died being caught in the blast of his attacks. It was best to stay away as best as possible.
However, E666 watched from a corner. Her face was flushed red, and her eyes remained on Lenny’s bloody face.
She swallowed hard at the look of his ferociousness, and her legs tightened in fervent anticipation.
As the drops of blood fell down Lenny’s face, some of it strolled to his lips, and his tongue licked it.
*BOOM!*
He lifted from the ground as he launched himself once more for the Mini Boss Devil.
Once more, he punched again.
However as he did, the devil turned its back to him. Facing him with the Spiked back.
Lenny saw this, but that was not going to stop him. He threw hard punches for Spiked shell.
*DANG!* DANG!!* DANG!!!*
Surprisingly, his hands did not touch or get entangled in any spike.
This surprised the Gladiators watching. After all, they could hear the DANG sounds like loud ringing of hammer against hammer.
A222 watched closely. She was the only one that her natural abilities could help her to truly enjoy this fight.
She could see it Clearly.
Lenny’s fists did not hit the shell. In fact, it stopped right before the spikes on the shell.
But then if it did not hit, what was making all that ringing noise?
She strained her eyes to see even better, slowing down Lenny’s movement in her head.
And then she saw it.
Lenny was not hitting the shell with his fists.
Rather, the wave force of his attack breaking through the air was what hit the Devil.
Once more, the several punches he blessed the Shell with left dents on it.
However, Lenny frowned.
The back was obviously much stronger that the shell on the front.
Just then, Lenny had a forbidden feeling and immediately kicked backwards.
Luckily he did, the spikes on the Devil’s back suddenly elongated further, and then like a machine gun spitting out its content, the spikes were released at lenny.
*Mirror Steps!*
Lenny activated his assassin movement technique that allowed him displace his position, leaving his after image behind.
The Gladiators watching also took cover from the blast of spikes.
One spike from the devil was like the size of a teenager’s forearm.
A123 covered A222 on the ground.
After a while, the firing stopped.
A222 felt her stomach get wet.
However, the liquid was warm. She was very familiar with this.
This was blood.
A123 had been hit. fortunately, they hid behind a huge rock in time. However, one of the spikes had actually charged through the rock and embedded itself by A123’s side.
“A123!!!” A222 panicked as she rolled him over. She put some pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding.
Lenny turned in their direction. A member of his team had been hurt. It made him angry.
He closed his eyes a bit, and the moment he opened it, his face suddenly snaked with bulging veins. This was the same thing with the rest of his body.
*WILL!*
He had achieved his WILL ability.
He rushed for the Devil.
As he came, The Devil turned its back to him again. But this was not going to be like the last time.
lenny side stepped to hit it.
As he did, the Devil waved its big, heavy arm for Lenny’s head. The attack was swift, and it was definitely going to hit.
However, Lenny’s Right foot shifted slight. With his Toes fixed firmly on the ground, his pivot shifted to the right, twisting and acting as a string that pulled the rest of his body as he bent backwards to dodge the attack.
That pull with his right foot allowed him to turn Three hundred and sixty degrees in the air.
As his hand turned, a Katana suddenly appeared in his left hand.
*SLASH!*
In that moment, everything seemed to have come to a pause.
And then a devil head rolling in the hair like a deflated ball fell to the ground.
*Dud!*
It rolled on the ground a little before coming to a stop.
The big body of the Mini Boss Devil swayed a bit before falling to the ground.
As it did, everyone looked at it speechless.
How could there not? Even those in the Arena looked at him in a new light.
After all, this was the same devil that had been surrounded by a multiple of gladiators on all sides and it had ended them effortlessly.
Even Tank had taken the Devil’s pill, over dosing on it just to bring down this Devil, yet he had failed in really pathetic way. Blowing up like a water Balloon.
Yet, Lenny had done it as if he was just another regular joe cleaning his Yard.
Lenny deactivated WILL.
He staggered a bit in his tiredness.
Using Will was always draining and left him weak.
“D999! Its not dead until you destroy its heart!” A222 reminded him.
However, this was something Lenny already planned on doing. He raised his head, and looked at the big body of the devil that had touched the ground.
Dragging his sword behind him, he immediately mounted its body.
He traced the tip of the blade on the body of the Devil to its chest.
*Swash!* Swash!!*
Two quick but effective slashes on the chest of the beast and the Shell was carved out.
As he did this, Lenny could see that the beast struggled a little. It was really still alive.
He stretched his hand into its chest and brought out its heart. ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๏ผ๐๐
It was big and even as he pulled it from the veins and arteries that held it in place, it still beat steadily.
Lenny dropped the sword and raised the heart above his face, “Thank you for the food!” he whispered as he squeezed the heart tightly.
The blood flowed poured into his mouth like a running tap, bathing his body as it did in its dark, ugly red.
<Alert>
<Heart Blood of Mini Boss Consumed>
<All Stats Improved +200 Points>
<Congratulations: Lesser Demon Rank 3 Unlocked>
<Congratulations: Special Bonus points for finishing first Mini Boss devil +10 Magic points>
The Alerts rang in his head like the the jingles Christmas, bringing a wide jolly grin to his face.
Lenny squeezed all the blood in the heart.
he turned and noticed the eyes of the three gladiators on him.
They stared at him the same way they had been staring at the Mini Boss devil.
“Oh! forgive me,” Lenny apologized, “do you guys also want a bite!?”
He threw the heart in the air and waved his Katana in the air, cutting the heart into smaller digestible looking chunks.
He swung his hands, sending the meat pieces for them.
However, they avoided it not to talk of catching or consuming it.
How Could they? They were not mad like Lenny.
A devil’s heart was the strongest source of Chaos energy that existed.
It would be divine foolishness on their parts to eat it.
Just then, Lenny felt the body of the devil beneath him shake as it withered away.
this took Lenny by surprise.
The body of the Mini Boss devil was actually disappearing.
It was slowly turning to dust.
Lenny immediately turned over to the head he had cut off in the distance.
That too was disappearing.
Just then, Lenny noticed the clean cut of the neck he had made.
“NO!!!” Lenny screamed as he dived for the head, and willed it into his storage space just before it disappeared.
He sighed lowly.
Lenny was a collector of meat that had been cut beautifully.
There was no way he was going to let the neck that he had just given a clean shave escape his collection.
Seeing that he had made it in time, he felt better.
However, his ear suddenly twitched to a particular person moving and he waved his hand, throwing his sword in that direction.
*DUM!*
“AHHH!!!” E666 screamed loudly.
She was a very flexible person, and her demon half made it easier for her to move like cat stalking a mouse.
But Lenny had the senses of one trained to hunt the the hunter.
The moment she tried to escape, he noticed.
His sword nailed her by her shoulder to the wall.
He turned in her direction, “forgive me! I aimed for your head. It would seem like I missed.” He chuckled a little as he stood to his feet and walked towards her.
He did not rush. Like a guy in a Boy band walking down the stage to an audience of adoring female fans, he walked steadily towards her.
E666 had fear in her eyes at his approach.
Every step he took hammered heavily in her heart.
He stopped before her, leaned in, and brought her head to his.
“So you were the one that prepared the meal. I guess I better thank the Chef,” a disastrous smile decorated his lips.
