Chapter 88 The Prodigal Son Treatment...
Three Demons stood over Lenny.
Each one of them had a snake head. They were part of the trainers in this session.
The F Class was the foundation of the Arena. It was also the biggest of all the class. It had at least ten times the number of humans and half humans the size of the E class.
Not to compare its size to that of the other classes, of which it was many times larger.
“This looks like one of those brats that tried to escape.” One demon commented.
“Yes it does, but it seems like he went the wrong way. Her children must have made things hard for it and he came back!” The second demon commented pointing at the Insects that they had killed from the hole.
“What do you think we should do with it?” The last one asked. However, the demon’s tongue licking its lips already betrayed its intention. “I think we should just eat it!”
The first demon nodded his head, “I think so to, but even if we want to, we can’t.”
This made the third demon frown. It was true that they were not allowed to take a bite. They was just nothing they could do about this. Demon rules were absolute. Room for disobedience was like seeing a unicorn, or seeing the moon turn green.
Such was their ways. Orders were orders.
“Then, they is only one thing we can do,” The second demon looked at the other demons and they nodded in agreement, “we will take it to the Magistri!” ππ²ππ»πΌπππΉοΌπ»ππ
The first Demon nodded.
The Demon tied its whip around Lenny’s leg and pulled him along on the ground like he was pulling along a disgusting luggage.
All the half humans watched as he was pulled away, each of them whispering and having their own guesses as to what was happening and why it was happening.
The demon pulled Lenny along. However, just when it was about to leave the F class gate, a face that Lenny was most familiar and acquainted with.
It was none other than Potty. This was the same frog looking demon that had wanted the mother of this body that Lenny had occupied but had not gotten it because F999 then had proven stubborn. Potty had sent F999 to the D class in secret to die. But then, Lenny had reincarnated in this world and into this body.
Pulling a human on the ground like a bag of feaces was not new around this parts. However, the moment Potty passed the demon, he could not help but subconsciously look at the figure of the bloody mess that was being pulled along.
And then right on Lenny’s chest, he saw the tag, E999.
immediately, Potty stopped the demon.
There was practically no body in this place that was as familiar with Lenny as he was. hE saw the bloody face and then he looked at the demon with a brow up.
“It was not me!” the demon replied even before he was questioned. After which he proceeded to telling Potty how Lenny had appeared and where it was taking Lenny to.
Potty shook its head, “We shouldn’t take it to the Magistri. He will just punish Bodat for allowing it escape in the first place.”
“Then what should we do with it?”
“just give it back to Bodat! i have seen how he handles things. He will definitely be very creative with its punishment.”
A few minutes later, Lenny was dumped before Bodat’s presence.
Bodat was the instructor in charge of the E class region.
He was a very strict demon and took discipline very seriously.
“Growth sprout! Hmmm!” Bodat frowned as he looked at Lenny that had been dropped before him,”As one in charge of your life, I promise to make a Prodigal-son-welcome example out of you!”
“Take him and tie him to the post!” Bodat ordered some of the Gladiators and they immediately did as he requested.
Lenny was brought to a Crucifix and nailed to it. Of course, for the first few times that the y tried the big thick nails, for some reason, they all could not enter into his palm.
Lenny had to intentionally Direct the system on bringing down his defenses for the nails to penetrate through his skin. Nine nails were used on each arm to hold him in place. They were spread out across his arm all the way to his Elbows.
These were obviously not normal nails. The nails were as thick as a baby’s fore arm.
Of course, they came with excrutiating pain. However, Lenny had activated his pain and pleasure technique. The Arena did not treat those that ran away amicable. Or even welcome them back with opened arms once they returned.
Punishment was punishment. It was for this reason that Even though the would outside the caves was not safe, Crusher prefered to stay within the Chimera colony than to go back to the Arena.
However, Lenny was very stubborn, and twice as petty. He had promised a group of people that he was going to come back for them. He was practically willing to crawl through the extremities of hell just to keep his promise.
Being nailed to a cross was practically nothing.
Nine Thick nails on each arm and the same number on his legs. This was directly from his thighs to his ankle.
Even his Knees had been nailed through.
Blood seeped through his body slowly to the ground, and even Lenny could tell that his ‘Hp’ was slowly going down. However, he had a remarkable amount of that.
His body was already as tenacious as that of a Lesser demon. There was no way that something so minute could truly hurt him.
A bell was rang in the E class and all the gladiators were forced out of their resting place and into the training area.
As it was customary, escapees are to be punished crudely in front of other Gladiators.
Here and now, Lenny was about to become an experimental subject for the rumored punishment he had heard a lot of news about.
Lenny looked by his side. Instructor Bodat stood with his whip unleashed. Before him, were the gladiators of E Class. They all gathered slowly.
As they did, Lenny searched the crowd for very particular faces.
The first person he recognized was E444.
This was the person Lenny had bitten off his mouth.
Till this moment, He was still lipless. On Seeing Lenny, he frowned tightly.
Without a doubt recognizing him on first sight.
The next person that Lenny exchanged eye contact with, was E666. Her expression was still one of surprise but it was more profound. After all, she had seen as Lenny jumped into the hole of Chimera Insects.
She had already prescribed him dead a long time ago.
More familiar faces showed up within the crowd. For example, E4004 and even Pocket. However, the one person Lenny wanted to see the most was not here.
E7007 was not within the crowd.
“This growth Sprout right here, violated the Rules of this sanctuary!” Instructor Bodat’s voice was loud for all to hear, “It tried to leave this loving and caring home that has provided for it since it was nothing. It tried to leave it’s brothers and sisters behind. But you see, the outside world is a very harsh place, and you can only find true peace in the this Arena. Today, We will be reminding it of that. The Punishment would be as follow: Six thousand, six hundred and sixty six lashes, and boiling oil For the purification of its sin. If Its survives, it may rejoin its brethren and we shall welcome it with open arms!”
“HUH!!!”
The Crowd gasped at Lenny’s punishment Criteria.
The truth of it was that, there was no way anyone was going to survive such harsh punishments. If lenny did not die from the Crucifix, he was definitely going to die from the Lashes, and the Boiling oil was just to make his meat tender and nice for the demons to enjoy.
The punishments that the Demons gave whenever one that escaped was caught or returned only ensured that there was only a way out, and that was death.
All that Talk about him joining up if he survived was trash talk.
However, punishments were also given based on the class.
Punishment that was given to a gladiator that escaped from the A class was definitely different from the one given to a Gladiator of the E class.
Mainly because of their strength and evolution difference.
For a Gladiator in the A class, a time on the crucifix was not going to do anything. Unless of course, the person was left in that position for at least two weeks.
Their bodies were just that durable. However, a person in the E class was totally different.
In other words, Lenny’s death was as sure as breathing air.
Ten Gladiators were given whips. These whips were just like the one instructor Bodat used.
They all lined up extended from one another.
Their target was Lenny.
Instructor Bodat stood by the side.
“Begin!” He ordered.
