Chapter 175 Agenda Of The Tournament
From the Moment Lenny entered this place, nothing seemed to be right.
At first, it was the compulsory Privacy, and then it was the statutes. Hell, the air in here did not smell like piss and blood. Instead, it smelt like Lavender mixed with a touch of red wine. .
Where the hell did this devil even find Lavender in the post-apocalypse?
Either way, nothing bout this was right.
The fact that two gladiators that were sent to kill this Boss preferred to sit, wait and converse, was also another mystery.
In fact, everything about this Boss Devil called Coco was not just right.
But When Lenny saw the items inside the case, every thing suddenly made more sense.
Even though a lot more questions had reason in his heart, it still made more sense.
Even more so, he had not felt that Lucifer’s wings were in this place.
Just then, he saw an alert in the system.
<Alert>
<Fallen Angel Feathers detected>
It was after seeing the feathers that the System gave alert.
However, Lenny immediately noticed the Alert of the system.
It did not saw that the white glowing feathers belonged to Lucifer, but rather, a fallen Angel.
Lenny immediately thought back to Stories he had heard and read.
After all, aside from Lucifer, they were other angels.
Coco could see that their eyes were all captivated by the three Angelic feathers.
After all, who wouldn’t be?
He chuckled a bit, “Magnificent aren’t there? It is said in the old books that a long time ago, Angels saw the daughters of men and were filled with Lust. They dove down to partake of the pleasures men’s daughters could provide. Enchanting them with their voices, unearthly music and even the heavenly touch. With their wooing skills, they got what they wanted, and enjoyed the fleshy warmth that a woman’s thighs could provide.”
As he talked, his hands gesticulated, capturing the attention of his audience of three, “They even had giant children with them. And when they had their fill of pleasure, they said to one another: Let’s go home. However, the gates of heaven would receive them not. Instead, they were cast back to the earth. In that violent casting down, they got very wounded, and behold these feathers.”
Coco smiled, and then unable to hold himself back, he chuckled some more. “Lady, and Gentlemen! The following are three Fallen feathers of heavenly beings. These feathers are so powerful that even a being of pure chaos like myself was made brand new. They are responsible for all you see around you, and…erm…” he paused and smiled with his eyes a bit, “many more. Besides, if I am not mistaking, is that not the reason why you are all here? After all, your masters tried in the past but could not reach it, and now, their pawns have come for the plucking.”
He gave a slight bow to show that his story, description and speech were all over.
However, Lenny’s mind raced in thinking.
Firstly, he remembered that the Demons had tried to enter this Dungeon before but couldn’t. Dungeons had a rule granted by nature itself that could not be broken.
No one above the rank could enter one.
And even the demons that were sent earlier on could not fend off the Chaos magic for a long time before becoming corrupted.
The only hope was sending gladiators in. Because of their peculiar Darkline magic, they could hold off chaos magic from their systems for a long time.
Although it seemed as if this was just a normal eradication of a devil’s dungeon, it apparently was not.
Then again, when it came to demons, one plus one was never two. In fact, it could be anything but two.
They was always an agenda of sorts.
It seems like for this tournament, this was the agenda.
The Demons must know about the Fallen feathers here.
That must be the reason why they concentrated on this Devil Dungeon.
After all, coming to the city, they had seen a lot of Devils in the outside world. It would not have been a problem to find any dungeon at all. Why did it have to be this one?
Lenny was starting to think that he was a small part of a higher Agenda that he had no knowledge of.
Lenny looked at the two by his sides.
It would appear from their reaction that these two were not all too surprised.
It would seem like they had known about it all along.
Then again, Lenny was known to be quite rebellious. It was not a surprise that no one told him, or maybe Cuban himself was unaware of this.
Either way, the fact remained that he was here and he now knew.
Lenny immediately asked the Satan system to analyze the Fallen feathers.
According to the system, these were regular Angel feathers.
They were nothing like the little Golden Arch Angel Feather that Lenny had absorbed before.
Angels had a hierarchy of power. This was something that even a child knew from reading story books.
These might have been Arch Angel feathers, but nevertheless, they were still feathers.
These were in fact very precious Holy relics.
For these low rank demons, it was a power boost akin to a rank up in video games.
It was no wonder that they put in so much effort into acquiring them.
They even claimed that it was to celebrate Lady Vinegar’s birthday, and they brought only the best arenas around for it, but the truth was that it was another hunt for power, with humans being the lackeys.
Lenny Chuckled in his head.
Unfortunately for these Demons, he was here, and the feathers were before his eyes.
Lenny knew that even if these other gladiators got the feathers right now, they did not exactly have a way to consume it. With the kind of magic that the system had informed him that these feathers had, even if these gladiators were to eat it, it would blow up their bodies.
However, he was different. He was very, very different. With the Satan System, he could absolve it all…
