Devil Slave (Satan system)

Lenny knew that he only had one chance at this, and he was not going to blow it up.

With swiftness unlike any the human body should naturally produce, he launched himself into the air.

He was a bullet, except his trajectory was not straight.

He curled at an angle that allowed him the bending and maneuvering capabilities that no projectile should have.

However, Lenny was not made of any of the fickle materials used to make projectiles.

He moved as if he could accelerate and decelerate in the air at will.

And he did.

He was so fast that the negative Spirit did not notice him, possibly thinking that it was just a bird.

Then again, the bulk of its thoughts were distracted by Ella on the ground.

It was easy for one to believe that this creature was a big fellow of combined negative spirits in a colony of sorts.

Meaning that if a threat came from a different side, it would be easy to spot and even easier to deal with.

But the Satan System had called it Entity 1.

This meant that the moment all of them joined together, they all became one being.

It was essentially just a bigger Negative Spirit, not possessing any of these independent qualities outside of its oneness.

Lenny had done it.

~Boom~

Like a fly sticking to a windscreen, he landed right on the giant ruby that was its eye.

It was only when Lenny touched it that the Entity noticed him.

However, it was already too late.

Lenny had a cocky smile on his face as he looked at the giant creature.

“Accept my apology for now; I’m going to have to put you outside the fight.”

~Tap~

He placed both hands on the creature, and then it happened.

Lenny instantly became like a black hole, drawing the Entity in.

It struggled, and it was a real fierce struggle as it turned and even pulled against the forest trees in its unwillingness to be swallowed.

However, When it came to the Satan System, they had no choice but to get swallowed.

Every person below watched this with total surprise.

As far as anyone was concerned, Lenny was like a drain as he compressed and sucked in the entire thing.

~Bam~

He landed on the ground with his back facing them.

He chuckled a bit, “That was fun!” He peered over his shoulder a little, his eyes expressing his very cocky gaze.

“What are you guys doing standing around? Or is anyone blocking your path?”

He did not wait for their response before he kicked against the ground and rushed forward.

His words brought them back to their senses.

No one asked stupid questions about how he did it. None were that foolish.

Everyone had their secrets. What mattered was that the opposition was no longer there.

The Forest of Discarded Sufferings was not as wide as Lenny thought it was, or as wide as they explored the last time he was here.

Evidently, at that time, their sense of direction had been badly affected by the negative Magic.

Besides, Ciri had focused much of the negative Magic of the place on the altar.

There was not much of it to spare to bend the land like that.

And lastly, Ella was here.

With Ella’s help, navigating the forest was a piece of cake.

Although some men still fell from time to time on the ground as a result of the effects of the forest.

This was a pity, unfortunately. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

However, it did not stop them from still speeding through the forest toward their goal ahead.

Finally, they were out of the forest area.

However, Lenny could not help but pause the moment he came out.

Before his eyes was dried land.

This dried land was a big contrast to the soft forest ground they had just been on.

First, the ground was hard.

In fact, it was so hard that it practically felt like iron was beneath one’s feet.

However, that did not mean the ground was smooth. Instead, it was decorated with a large net of thick roots.

These roots were as thick as a grown man’s forearm.

They spread across the ground as if trying to take ownership of the place.

In them, Lenny could swear that he could feel and hear the silent flow of blood.

Subconsciously, his eyes traced the curves and bends to their origins.

Just a bit in the distance, they were eleven abominable-looking things.

They looked like dried-up trees with no leaves. Their branches were spread in the air like a declaration of their abominable superiority.

It was easy for Lenny to call them Abominable because they were.

Even from a distance, Lenny could very well see that these eight trees were all made of human skin.

That is, the trees themselves were dried and branched out into deformities of the human body.

At their center, he could see what obviously used to be a face looking back at him, except that the faces were also twisted from their entangled mess of form. He could tell that they were in excruciating pain.

“What in the Fucking Hell are those?”

Nikky stepped forward as she answered, “Those are them. At least those are their bodies. The bodies of the eleven Witches that fought over Ciri’s body but did not succeed This is what their bodies became. Their suffering was too much. They had no choice but to abandon their bodies and all live inside her.”

Lenny looked at them and nodded in understanding.

However, that was not his problem.

He kicked against the ground as he continued his advance.

Meanwhile, At the Altar, Ciri said incantations as she began the ceremony.

The first step was to gather as much negative Magic as she could.

This she did from the domain, and that was why the domain sparked in Lightning as it did.

After she was sure she had enough, she placed a blood-red stone in the center of the Altar…
