Devil Slave (Satan system)

Lenny stood to his feet in a hurry the moment he heard it was an emergency.

He spread out his perception ability all through the cave.

After all, it was only about an hour ago that a devil had entered the cave when E666 was present.

His Senses saturated the entire place in search of the problem. However, he found nothing.

He raised a brow at A222.

However, she still had that worried look on her face.

She suddenly pulled his hand to a corner.

Actually she pulled him to C888.

Currently, this was the Weakest amongst them after the death of the other E class Gladiator.

He laid on the ground sweating buckets.

One look at him and Lenny could tell that he had a fever.

Some parts of his body look darkened. It was like he had been painted with black chalk at different parts.

This made his body look like it was like the dark clouds when it was about to rain.

Lenny did not exactly care what happened to this man.

However, he had touched and operated on the human body for so long. Yet, this was the first time he was seeing this. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

It really peaked his curiosity.

“What is wrong with him!?” Lenny asked.

“It’s this place! It’s chaos magic. Although It affects each person differently, it’s corruption is still the same.”

“Huh!?” Lenny did not understand this.

According to what he knew, Chaos magic corrupts, but that corruption was limited to Demons.

After all, he had clearly seen gladiators take in Devil pills and apart from an ehancing in their power and abilities, there was no Fever or break down.

One look at Lenny’s face and A222 knew that he did not know what was going on.

She decided to explain.

“This is not the first time I have seen this. Sometimes, when the Magistris come back from battling the devils, they come back with this. This is a tard bit different from what Arena master Basit gave them in his Devil pills. It’s like water. What Arena master Basit gave is the distilled water, removing most, if not all the impurities and leaving only power behind. This right here, is like polluted water. The corruption from Chaos energy is still intact. And it’s results are…. ” She paused, her facial expression showing the gravity of what was to come, “very TERRIBLE!”

Lenny frowned at this. However, for some insane reason deep in his head, he actually wanted to see what the gladiator would look like if he transformed.

He wondered what he would look like,and if the man’s insides would also be affected and change.

Also, if it did, what would it look like.

He was not a cannibal but just out of curiosity, he wondered if it would taste like the devils hearts he had eaten so far.

*Cough!* Lenny coughed to removed such distracting thoughts from his mind.

“Is there anything we can do about it?” Lenny asked.

Not that it was important to him. After all, the Satan system would not allow such a corruption on his body.

Also, if he was sto be corrupted, he would have been corrupted from the moment he ate the Devil’s heart.

After all, that too was unfiltered Chaos magic.

“There is nothing I know of. Unless we leave the dungeon, it will persist. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, we can’t do that. The mission comes first.” A222 explained.

Lenny nodded.

A222’s face was sour, “Even if we want to leave now, we can’t, the devils have already saturated the way we came. Trust me, it’s not like the cheap ones we saw before.”

“So our only choice is to go deeper!”

“Yes!” She suddenly put her hands on the ground as she sent her senses in all directions.

A222 had an unnaturally incredible sense of her environment.

From the A class of the Arena, she could hear a needle drop in the F class.

“It is just like I guessed. This Dungeon is only three levels deep. We are currently still in the first level. We have two more to meet the boss. After that, we can go home.”

“What about him!?” Lenny pointed to C888 on the ground.

“He will not make it!” A123 replied from his corner. “The lower we go, the stronger the devils and the stronger the Chaos magic. If he can’t even endure the little up here, he will definitely not be able to make it to the third level.”

“But it’s not his fault.” A222 added.

“What do you mean?” Lenny asked. This was the first time he was doing something like this. He did not understand what these two were saying.

“It’s simple. He has not yet Unlocked his Darkline magic. Its what we use,” A123 walked up to Lenny and showed him his palm.

“We focus some of our Darkline magic to form a thin film around our body. Unlike Demons, our Darkline magic is slightly different as a result of our human heritage. This makes us immune to a good extent against chaos magic.”

“He is right. Even now, it’s how we have protected ourselves against the Chaos magic. It’s also why the demons use humans for their wars.”

Lenny nodded. However, he realized something.

“You know!?” He asked A123.

“Of course, I know!”

A123 gave a cheeky broad smile, “but it’s no problem. We live and we die. All we can do is hope for a full life,” he turned to A222 and gave her a wink.

Her cheeks immediately turned a shade of red, and she averted her eyes shyly.

Lenny gazed upon the two of them with a knowing look in his eyes.

Even a blind man could tell that these two had a touch with one another.

This surprised Lenny. After all, he had been in this world for a while, and this was the first time he was seeing two people that had real emotional connection with one another.

So far, he had only seen togetherness because of pleasure, and to secure one’s security.

But these two. The way they looked at one another was different.

Lenny wondered why he had not noticed the Attraction between the two of them before.

Now that he thought about it, it was probably because he had not put their affairs in his eyes.

His attention had only been on the goal.

“Unless there is a way for him to unlock his Darkline magic, then it’s of no use.” A123 explained.

“Unlock!? How can he do that?” Lenny asked.

“Well, most of us unlocked ours by our constant interactions with death. Always putting one’s life on the line drew out our potential.”

“You said ‘most of us,’ what of the others?”

“It was unlocked for them by other gladiators,” A222 answered, “It is a really simple process, but you not many are willing to do it.”

“Why? Won’t it help increase chances of survival amongst gladiators?”

“It would, but it has its risk, and it’s not exactly a funny method.”

“I thought you said it was easy?”

“Yes! Easy, not funny. Besides, it takes a LOT of Darkline magic to unlock to unlock another’s. Also, if the process is done wrongly, the Darkline magic might explode both parties. That is why most Gladiators don’t do it.”

Lenny nodded in understanding. In short, these two were not ready to risk their lives for C888.

In such a place, Darkline magic consumption had to be minimized as much as possible.

After all, it could save lives at a critical time.

In this regard, C888 was relegated to death.

Lenny understood that they was nothing anyone could do for him.

It was best to just leave him here to die.

If they took him along, it would only drag them down.

It was settled.

It was time to leave.

Lenny stood up to leave, however, C888 suddenly grabbed his arm, “ple… please brother! Don’t… Don’t leave me here…to die!”

He stammered as he begged.

Lenny could see in his eyes the zeal and unwillingness to be relegated to such a fate.

But life in this world was cruel.

In his case, he was strong, but his failure to activate Darkline magic had sealed his fate to death.

The Zeal in his eyes was very strong.

Lenny could not help but sigh in pity for this gladiator.

Lenny did not think of himself as a bad person. Besides, that was the reason he had come to this world. To free these people.

It was just that he did what needed to be done.

The world was just too cruel to be soft.

If he could, he would not mind helping this one.

However, he did not use Darkline magic or Chaos magic.

There was nothing he could do.

<Alert>

<Does host wish to consume Chaos magic from Victim?>

The thought of healing C888 had only brushed past Lenny’s mind and the system had responded to it.

Truly, Lenny knew he had not explored the Satan system enough.

It made him wonder if it could do more.

“System, can you Unlock Darkline magic in C888?”
