Devil Slave (Satan system)

Insect-B looked at her wings on the ground.

In genuine anger, she suddenly screamed in Crusher’s direction.

This was a sonic scream.

It sent Crusher fly.

*Boom!*

He aggressively smashed against the walls of a cave.

A jet of blood burst out of his mouth.

Also, the wave blast tore the flesh of his chest.

Lenny saw what had just happened.

“Fuck!”

He could clearly guess what was going to happen next.

He dived to the side.

The fingers on his one good arm reached for the first thing they could grab.

Ironically, it was one of insect-B’s wings.

This thing was transparent like glass.

However, it felt as hard as iron.

Immediately, Lenny raised it up to shield himself.

Just he had thought.

However, as the Sonic boom came, it surprisingly bounced off the shield and reflected unto another side of the cave.

Destroying that area.

Seeing this, Lenny suddenly had a nice idea.

Apparently, this wing had a reflective ability for sound waves.

It was so durable that not even the terrible sound waves from it’s owner could destroy it.

Assassins were very perceptive people.

At anytime, they always had their environment in their sight in case of an opportunity to save their life’s if anything went wrong.

For this reason, they were also good students of physics.

The structure of substances, their mass, physical and chemical properties were always taken into account.

They were never lacking in such studies.

After all, a thread or a lighter at the right time and at the right place could spell the definition of a work well done and their tomorrow’s breakfast as assurance to their survival of a dangerous encounter. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

This wing now turned shield by Lenny had it’s value in the preservation of life.

Brazenly, Lenny stood up. Holding the shield with one hand, he faced insect-B. A cocky smile settled at one corner of his lips.

“Hey! Maggot legs!! Is that the best you can do!?”

Insect-B frowned. She was already very angry.

Also, she was obviously vexed at the insult.

She opened her mouth wide as another sonic blast came for Lenny.

Naturally, Lenny raised the wing in front of his face. Shielding himself from the effects of the blast.

It was reflected in yet another angle, blasting off another wall.

Lenny took subtle note of this.

Again and again, blasts came, but it did nothing to Lenny. Of course the force pushed him back now and then, but that was all it was.

Finally, Lenny had figured out the right angle to bend the wing in relation to the reflection of the wave he wanted.

“You know, I thought you only had maggot legs! But I can now clearly see I was wrong. Forgive my blindness MAGGOT!” That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

The vexing inserts could not take it anymore.

Its mouth stretched and opened abnormally and the biggest blast of Sonic wave rushed at Lenny.

It was like the arrival of a mini tsunami. If this tsunami wave should reach him without a doubt he was going to be dead meat, however, this is exactly what Lenny wanted.

“fool!” He muttered.

As the wave came all of it was reflected back the insect-B, blasting it through a wall.

The hit was so effective that Lenny could see that the insect was dazed.

However, it was obvious that this would not be so for long.

This was an opportunity for him to kill it.

He raised the wing. His plan was to use it as a weapon and smash the creature’s head In.

After all, all the weapons in his possession had done a very poor job at this.

Nothing could even remotely break through it’s skin.

But with this wing, it was probably possible.

However, he suddenly heard buzzing sounds from a corner.

He turned in that direction.

It was the giant Praying Mantises that had stood with her before.

They were fast approaching.

Even if he killed her and he was no lt so sure that he could, those monsters were definitely going to tear him in two.

Nearly instantly.

He picked the rather obvious choice.

He waved his fingers and the wing disappeared into his storage.

On the ground not so far away were the other wings. He willed also into the system.

Looking in a direction that was a fit too small for his pursuers, he rushed in that direction.

However, he suddenly felt a pull on his leg.

It was from Crusher. He was injured on the ground.

He was asking Lenny for help.

For a second there, Lenny did not mind kicking him and moving on.

However, he remembered that this guy had come back for him.

Lenny did not consider himself to be a bad guy.

If it was not necessary for him, he would not kill.

The reason he had killed the boy that helped him escape the gladiator village regardless of his help was plainly because the Satan System had required him to destroy the village and the boy was essentially a part of it.

Besides, there was also the fact that Crusher was very useful.

After all, he was able to fight such a beast and make it out alive.

He could come in handy in the future.

Of course, Lenny could just kill him and be done with him.

After all, the points would be nice.

But even Lenny had to admit that the points would not be enough. Or rather, in relation to crusher being alive, it was currently not so important.

Lenny pulled him along. With one hand over his head, both of them immediately went for the inner safety of the caves. Even though they were injured they tried to move as fast as their bodies could take them staying in this place was going to me sure death.

The giant praying mantises made their arrival immediately and they rushed for the direction lenny and crusher had gone.

However, they were too big for the caves there.

Fortunately, insect-B did not get it together until they were long gone.

Naturally, it avocated for a pursuit.

But Lenny knew his way around these caves.

With Crusher’s directions, they both rendezvous with the rest of Crusher’s teammstes.

They all left and found the nearest safe point to rest.

<Congratulations, daily quest passed>

<+4Exp>

<+2Sta>

<+2str>

<+1Agi>

The points that Lenny got this time around, were rather very handsome compared to the usual he got from Daily tasks.

It was most likely because of the difficulty of it.

After all, Lenny could not even see insect-B’s stats.

In was evident that it was far stronger than he was.

The only reason he had survived, was because of Crusher’s intervention.

This was fact that even Lenny admitted.

Everybody in this team was injured but some more than others.

While they all rested in the safe zone, one of them battled for his life with death.

“Boss Crusher!” A gladiator called. It was the gladiator with his ribs out.

Crusher saw that this friend of his was trying his best to hold on for his dear life.

He kept on coughing out blood and a kind of green mucus.

“B555!” Crusher called out as he tried to reach for him.

“B!?” LENNY thought to himself.

This meant that this person that was struggling for his life was of the B class.

Unlike Crusher that could barely move as a result of his injuries, Lenny immediately rushed to the man’s side.

He looked at the deep wound on the man’s side.

The wound was wide and gapping.

Also, Lenny could see that this man had lost a lot of blood, and the injury appeared to be very infected.

Mostly from the fangs of the creature that bit into his side.

This kind of injury was one that could have killed an ordinary human being in a few seconds after it happened.

However, this gladiator had survived this far.

Then again, Lenny could see that he did not have long to live.

The Gladiator coughed some more. Blood and mucus came out with it.

All of them knew it. After all, they could see it. This particular gladiator did not have reptilian abilities.

At the moment, he was dying.

Lenny turned to crusher, looking him in the eyes, he spoke softly, “he is suffering!”

Crusher instantly understood what Lenny meant. Silently, he nodded at Lenny.

They were Gladiators. None of them were new to the arrival of death.

After all, their job description was as advocators of death’s blade.

Lenny turned to the other Gladiators around. They also nodded to him.

They all knew what must be done.

Letting their comrade suffer on his way to the afterlife was not the Gladiators’ way.

Unknown to them, Lenny was heavily excited about their decision.

Without wasting time, he picked a sharp stone from the ground and brought it to the man’s neck.

Only this gladiator saw the happy expression in Lenny’s eyes before Lenny moved the stone across his neck, and his life left his body.

The alerts came like the sound of rainfall….
