Chapter 817 Lenny Vs The Salamander
817 Lenny Vs The Salamander
“I’ll ask one more time. Show yourself to me… Salamander the Coward!” Lenny’s ultimatum was punctuated by the release of the swords, a deadly rain destined for the building.
“Wait…” The response was a booming interruption, a voice that resonated with the force of awakening. The building, in a display of magical metamorphosis, shifted and reshaped before Lenny’s eyes, its form elongating and contorting into that of a gargantuan snail with six heads.
This creature, now revealed in the place of the building, was an imposing sight. Each of its six heads was adorned with eyes that burned like coals, their gaze piercing and ancient. The snail’s body, massive and towering as the building it once mimicked, was covered in scales that shimmered with an inner fire. From its flesh, veins of molten lava pulsed, giving the impression of a being forged from the very heart of a volcano. Fire oozed from its body, cascading down its sides in rivulets of flame, illuminating the creature in a terrifying display of power.
The dome that had once protected the city, emanating from the creature’s back, flickered and vanished, leaving the city exposed but revealing the true guardian within. Lenny, observing the transformation with a satisfied smile, recognized the significance of his discovery. “I have found you!” he proclaimed, his voice laced with triumph.
The giant snail, Salamander the Coward, now exposed in its full, menacing glory, was a creature of legends made manifest. Its appearance, both awe-inspiring and fearsome, marked the beginning of a confrontation that had been centuries in the making. Fire oozed from its form, casting a glow that bathed the surroundings in an eerie light, a beacon of ancient power now unmasked by Lenny’s determination.
The voice of this Primodial beast was not imposing like its other siblings, and it even stammered from time to time. “It… It has been a long time since any one called me that!” Lenny smiled, “I can tell. After all, you have been hiding all this while.” lenny had seen a lot of things through the core that he had stolen from Crimson Seraph. This particular primordial beast was the laziest of them all, and the only reason he had survived the fight that happened with the other eight was because he was very selective of his opponents and back stabbed whenever it was needed.
It enjoyed a life of safety and peace, and was ready to be even mistaken for an ant if it would keep him away from trouble. That was just its nature. It was for this reason that its siblings tagged it as Coward. From the memories lenny got, this creature was a very cunny one. considering its age, Lenny knew that he had to keep his guard up before it. Yet, in every confrontation, attitude was responsible for half the work. And that was why Lenny maintained a calm, composed, and controlled exterior.
The primordial beast chuckled a bit, “Well, the times change fast these days. Especially with the death of the Morningstar. But… I like to keep to my peace. No matter the conditions.” Lenny nodded at it, “good! Then I’ll make this quick and straight forward. I want the invitation stones in your possession. Give them to me, and I will be on my way. I will leave you to continue playing Hell beast, and Demon guardian in peace.” However, Salamander suddenly shook all its six heads, “No! the last time the invitation stones were used, the world ended. I was practically enjoying my time under the sweet ocean, and then all of a sudden, it all dried up. If I had not found that hell beast and ate it in time, I would have been hunted like the others.” Lenny suddenly massaged his temples, “please don’t make this harder than it already is for me. Just give it to me, or I’ll have to beat it out of you.” Lenny stated. The primordial beast suddenly groaned angrily. “Lenny tales… don’t think that I don’t know you. You are the reason for Crimson seraph’s death, and also Augustus. Everywhere you go, you carry Death with you… Just like… just like…” It stammered a bit, its voice obviously carrying its fear, “…just like him. The Morningstar. That curse! He brought Death to the world.”
Lenny nodded, “even better. You are familiar with my heritage, and of course my master’s work…” lenny paused a bit, his piercing gaze fixed on one of the heads of the beast, “…Salamander, I am a filial Student… I make Master Lucifer Proud!”
lenny’s words cut through the air like blades. However, it only served to agitate the primordial beast.
“You are only in the third rank of the great demon realm. If I crush you now, I will be doing the world a huge favor.”
On saying this, All six of the Giant Primordial beast’s mouth suddenly opened up, and then came rushing blasts of elemental energy, all focused on Lenny like the rush of water from a water fall.
Each mouth spat a different energy blast. One head spat water, though liquid, it was practically liquid Nitrogen. Another spat out Fire that rushed like magma. Another was Acid, another was Green poison Gas. Another spat out lightning. yet another spat out wind blades and the last one spat out runes that fell as curses. This attack, all focused on one person was meant for absolute death. Even a peak Great Demon realm existence would have found the hit sending them to the afterlife. At least, that was in theory. However, Lenny remained standing in mid air. These attacks had been sent to hit. Lenny waved his hand, sending the attacks straight into his storage unit, and then when the Primordial beast was done, Lenny remained smiling at it. “Now, its my turn!” lenny waved his hands sending the same attack that had come his way back at the Primordial beast…
