Devil Slave (Satan system)-Chapter 76 Her Whisper Like The Call Of A Lover...

"Good! Good!!" Old man Buckle Complimented Lenny and Crusher. "If this was the Arena, the crowd of demon would run wild in excitement of your feat. Truly exceptional warriors." His smile suddenly changed into a frown. "But you see, this is not the Arena! In these Caves, the only permission you have, is Death!"

The moment he said this, Lenny got yet again another alert from the system.

<Daily Quest: Survive the Chimera Colony>

Now, he had two quests. One was the Major quest and the second one was the Daily Quest.

The moment Old Man Buckle said those words, he waved his fingers, "Get them! keep the small one alive but you can eat the big one!"

Immediately, the swarm of Preying mantis came for both of them.

Crusher activated his regenerative ability and another hand was immediately grown on the spot.

Lenny waved his hand and passed Crusher a second weapon.

Crusher did not aske were Lenny had gotten it from. Everyone had their own secrets. He only nodded in Gratitude.

The fight began.

The First preying mantis Rushed for Crusher like an eagle diving for Prey on the ground.

Immediately, He dived out of the way, waving the piecers in his hands, he stabbed the beast right in the the head, killing it.

However, that was just the first one.

In these caves, they were hundreds of these Creatures. Even Crusher was not sure that he would be able to last long.

After all, after cutting off his own hand to be free, he had forced his regeneration ability in other to grow another hand.

At his level of strength, his regeneration could operate both passively and actively.

But the down side of that would be that it required a lot of energy.

He also had to use some energy to heal himself of the injury that his Gladiator friend had given him through his side.

Surprisingly, for this fight, the fact that the Praying Mantis were far bigger than him was to his advantage. This was because the number of Preying mantis hunting him was just too much.

Many times, there would use their piercers and instead of it getting him, it would snap at another Praying mantis.

However, that did not mean that things miraculously became easier because of that.

This was still a survival of the fittest.

Crusher even had it easy compared to Lenny.

And the reason was because these creatures were still far stronger than him.

Lenny had the moment was equivalent in strength to a Gladiator in the C Class.

Although his strength had increased again when he killed the B Class Gladiator, It was no where near the strength that these Preying mantis displayed.

According to surveyor, these beasts were at least the strength of B Class Gladiators.

Lenny had to bring out his A game for him to dodge their attacks.

From all corners left and right, they attacked him.

He leaped on their bodies like a frog. From one to the other.

His attacks were true, and swift.

Every time his hands would attack, a Praying mantis would fall dead.

The only problem was that he could not absorb the strength of these insects like he could from the Gladiators he killed.

Time slowly passed and Lenny and Crusher were slowly being overwhelmed.

A weak dodge from Crusher saw that he got a long cut across his back.

A good amount of blood splashed in the air as a result of the cut.

And just like that, his effectiveness reduced. Slowly, more and more cuts appeared on his body.

Somewhere along the line, he had lost the weapon that Lenny gave to him and had ripped out the arm of a Praying mantis, waving it around like a weapon.

His body was covered with the yellow fluid of the insect.

Crusher started to feel his body get heavier and sluggish. His arms suddenly felt too weak to carry.

He was not the only one that enjoyed this unfortunate fatigue.

Lenny too was getting tired. in his sluggishness, he was unable to dodge a quick blow that came right for his face.

"Shit!!!" he cursed and instinctively, he brought his hands to his face to block.

Without a doubt, if this blow was to get him, he was either going to die, or in the best case scenario, have the bones in his body broken.

However, unlike he expected, the blow did not hit him. The Preying Mantis stopped its attack right before it was to hit Lenny.

This took Lenny by surprise.

However, once again, another attack that would have cut off one of his hands and just before it would happen, the insect paused.

It was at this point that Lenny looked in Crusher's direction. He could clearly see that the Gladiator was riddled with Injuries. However, when he looked at himself, he was not at all injured.

His mind immediately raced through the fight so far. Now that he thought about it, no attack had truly made it to him.

All the while, it was just his instinct telling him to fight. Even before attacks from the insects reached, he had always maneuvered his way. But now that he thought critically about it, what if he was not the one dodging most of these attacks like he thought he was?

He suddenly remembered Old man Buckle's words from the beginning of the fight.

The order had been for the insects to kill Crusher but bring him Unarmed.

This made Lenny have a side smile. It was not hard to figure out that because of the needs of the queen, he was needed unarmed.

Without a doubt, it was in the Genes of these insects not to disobey orders.

That also meant that all the attacks on him so far was just an attempt to weaken him, and then capture him.

In that Case...

Lenny waved his hands throwing the piercers forward. Each got a Praying mantis in the head. And then he sped through the Praying Mantis for Crusher.

When he got to him, both of them leaned back against Back.

"Hey Crusher, Do you want to kill this Colony!?"

Crusher breathed heavily, but hearing those words made his eyes bright with strength. "What do you have in mind?"

"I'll Create a distraction for you to get out. Meet me at the Old man's village." Immediately Lenny said this, he moved.

"Where are you GOING!?"

"To meet her!" Lenny Screamed back.

Lenny no longer attacked.

Since they wanted to have him, then he was going to make things easy.

He leaped and with a few acrobatic jumps on the insects that did not want to cause him harm, he landed on a column. "OLD MAN!!!" Lenny called out.

Old man Buckle looked in his direction, "I get it now, You can't cause me harm! Your MAMA will be very angry right? Which means I can just leave if I want to!"

After saying this, Lenny did not wait for the old man to react before he rushed for one of the wide caves.

Old Man Buckle frowned, "GET HIM!" he ordered. ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ

That order was specific and without differentiation for who was to attack Lenny.

Immediately, all the Insects including the ones attacking Crusher Left him and went after Lenny.

Crusher did not know how Lenny came up with this idea but this plan was something that he was no going to let go to waste.

With the remaining strength that he had, he kicked against the ground lifting high into the air.

He rushed for the nearest cave.

By the time Old man Buckle noticed this, Crusher had used the opportunity to escape.

Old Man Buckle frowned so hard that the worm on his forehead squirmed a bit in response to his rage.

crusher might have some how made it out, but that was not the same for Lenny.

Lenny had Insects chasing him from all corners.

However, he was very calculative about his escape.

Again and again, he entered small caves that did not allow for the Bigger Chimera ants to follow after him.

It eve looked like he did not know where he was going.

However, he did.

At the moment, he was following the map s directed by the Satan system.

He remembered that Crusher said that the cave on the right was the way out, and the cave on the left was the way to the Queen.

Lenny had a sadistic plan in his head. But this plan to work the way he wanted it to, he had to firstly make sure of his target.

He finally found the corner he was looking for and immediately he dove into it.

He noticed something very peculiar.

And that was the fact that the Chimera ants no longer followed him.

They just stayed at the edge. Apart from their chittering in frustration, they did nothing else.

Just then, Lenny looked behind him and he saw Cotton worms. These ones were the biggest he had ever seen.

There were all hard at work.

Just then, he heard a voice in his head like the whisper of a long lost lover, "you finally came..."
