Chapter 265 Misunderstandings 3
This was a forest region.
Meaning that a good part of the land was moist because of the humidity, as is common in tropical regions.
Perseus, in his anger, suddenly jumped high into the air.
As he did, Electricity crackled wildly about his fingers.
When he passed, so did his hands. His fingers dug into the ground, and a strong bolt of electricity was forced out.
His aim was for it to hurt Hector, the person who had hurt him. However, gladiators were not taught physics and its basic principles.
In fact, their knowledge of the world was very limited, and basically, all they knew was to fight for survival.
To them, the person with the biggest fist could have the most unrestrained of desires.
It was a very simple world.
For a person like that to possess an ability like that of Perseus was essentially like handing over a big hammer to a toddler to handle.
In other words, someone was going to get hurt.
Lenny, on the other hand, thought very fast.
The moment he saw the Crackling of electricity in Perseus fingers, he leaped high into the air.
There was no way in hell he was going to let himself enjoy a good shoking.
This action of his was something his teammates were not aware could affect the hit that was to come.
Sometimes, ignorance was not as Blissful as it had been claimed to be.
The attack was on one person, but unfortunately, discrimination was not a word electrical conductors were familiar with.
Everyone except Lenny had a blast.
“Ahhh!!!” They screamed.
However, seeing that he had hurt everyone, Perseus immediately stopped.
Damn, what have I done? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!
However, Hector did not want to hear this; his wife had just been hurt.
This was the same for Crusher. That Electric blast added to his already frustrating anger.
And he wanted nothing more than to club someone to vent a little.
Hector, on the other hand, opened his mouth in anger.
As far as he was concerned, this had become a fight, and Perseus was already using his own abilities.
If Perseus could use his, then why not him? Besides, that voice in his head begged him to use it. It told him that it was the only way.
It ate at his ego and fed him the right words to convince him of its execution.
As far as he was concerned, it was the only way, and he was definitely going to do it.
However, Lenny noticed this.
Lenny could not believe what he was seeing.
Hector was really about to use the Voice of Bedlam.
Instantly, Lenny kicked against one of the trees as he shot like an arrow for Hector.
Lenny’s speed was incredible, and he managed to arrive at the exact moment that the first tone from the Voice of Bedlam was about to be unleashed.
Lenny knew that if the voice of Bedlam was unleashed, then it was going to affect everybody.
Perseus would not be the only one hurt by it, as intended.
There was no time to tell him to stop, and in the current state that he was in, Hector would definitely not want to stop.
Immediately, Lenny gave Hector a punch right in the throat.
This action of his made Hector involuntarily swallow the note that was about to pop out.
However, that hit was not a little one.
Hector was sent flying.
Meanwhile, Crusher too had been hit by Perseus’s electric blast, and he did not at all find it to be a pleasant experience.
It made him very mad.
He rushed at Perseus with a prepared punch.
Perseus, on the other hand, was trying to apologize.
He suddenly felt extremely guilty, and for a moment, he believed that he deserved the punch that Crusher was going to dish out.
For this reason, he did not defend it when it landed.
*Pow! Pow!!*
Crusher Lander took two clean hits. One to the face and a second to the stomach sent him recoiling back.
Perseus spat out some blood and a tooth.
Crusher was a man whose fists stood by his name.
Hector, on the other hand, coughed up a bit of blood on the ground.
He turned back to Lenny. There was obvious rage in his eyes.
He kicked against the ground with the force of an aggressive fighter.
*Dum!*
He launched into the air with a fist in Lenny’s face.
*Pow!*
To Lenny, it was a kid who had decided to come over and tickle him.
The distance between their powers was just too large.
He smirked as he delivered a punch that sent Hector high in the air.
In this manner, the boys fought on either side.
Athena, on the other hand, was in the middle of it.
She wanted to instinctively help Hector, but she knew that even a combination of both of them was nothing compared to Lenny’s fighting prowess.
Then she turned to Crusher and Perseus.
Perseus was really taking a beating.
However, at this moment, when she too was overwhelmed by emotions and was ready to attack, something in her sparked a little.
It was subtle, but Athena had always been a sensitive person.
Besides, this had not come from her external environment but rather from within.
It came from that thing she had taken in a long time ago.
It was after Lenny had defeated the first Boss devil of the Dev Dungeon.
Something aside from the Hard Black shield had dropped.
It was like a little fruit shaped like a shield with soft thorns on it.
Back then, she had only handed the Black shield over to Lenny.
However, she had kept it for herself; at least neither she nor Hector got anything for themselves from the dungeon.
Later on, it seemed like there was no need for it. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
However, during the time she was acting as Lenny’s assistant in the nursery, she suddenly decided to consume it.
After all, it looked like a fruit, and it even tasted like one.
At that time, nothing had happened.
