Chapter 14 Do Not Bow...
Lenny bit the upper lip of E444, and pulled hard.
Like one tearing apart two pieces of cloth, E444's lip was torn off his face.
Lenny leaned back as he used the remaining energy he had to execute the required deed.
Like the sudden opening of a bottle of cola, blood jet into the air.
What had happened before their eyes was not expected. It even left the demons watching speechless.
E444 tried to scream but blood rushed into his mouth. He was actually gagging on his own blood.
He pushed Lenny off as he struggled through the sudden pain.
When one had just been injured, it was an instinctive reaction to grab the place and massage the pain.
However, there was literally nowhere for E444 to grab. He could only bow his head as his mind contemplated how he got himself into such a shitty problem.
Meanwhile, Lenny stood up from the ground slowly.
In his mouth was still the torn out lip. blood from it fell on his body.
He had a crazed look in his eyes, and looking at the confusion and pain that E444 was going through, only made him feel pleasure.
<Side Quest completed>
<You have been awarded: +10 strength+ increase in HP>
<HP 15/15>
His HP had automatically loaded up. Also, it had increased from the base value of 10 to 15.
Although it did not look like much, it was actually a lot.
Lenny could feel as a strong refreshing feeling went through all his limbs. Even the scars on his body from the fight with the D4022 slowly healed up.
This was it. He was what he wanted. And all he had to do was enjoy a bite.
Lenny smiled to himself. This felt easier than the hard work he had to go through in his previous life to climb as he did.
Truly, this System was made for someone like him.
He truly was not one that held reservations when it came to such beautiful works.
The demon instructor was immediately angry.
Lenny had disobeyed his orders.
It growled angrily as it advanced towards him.
Everyone watching could tell that Lenny was in big trouble.
He had only just arrived and had injured the best pupil and disobeyed the master's orders.
They was truly no way he was getting out of the disciplinary action that was to come.
The Demon instructor got to Lenny. It lifted up its muscular arm.
It was going to smack Lenny.
However, Lenny was smart.
He immediately went down on his knees as he presented his hand to the demon.
The demon saw this and stopped.
In Lenny's hand, was the upper lip that belonged to E444.
"Forgive me instructor! I only thought you were hungry, and decided to present you a light snack."
"Huh!?"
"-"
"-"
"-"
Those words took everybody that was watching by surprise.
Lenny's words did not all make sense.
According to him, the reason he had disobeyed and peeled off E444's teeth, was because he wanted to present his body part as food.
The demon paused for a few seconds.
And then a sharp smile stained his lips.
He grabbed the upper lip from Lenny's hand, and threw it into his mouth.
The demon instructor chewed. some of the blood leaked from a side of his lips. He turned to E444, "not bad! it's quite tasty!"
Demons at the end of the day, will forever remain demons.
There was no such thing as favoritism here. In the eyes of these demons, all human beings were food.
Showing favor to one would only be fatting him up so that he could be eaten sooner.
The demons were not allowed to kill the stock without orders from Cuban who owned the arena. but that did not mean that they could not snack on parts lost in battle from time to time.
However, something happened that made Lenny frown.
<Red Alert: You have bowed before a demon: All Stats will be Halved for five minutes>
Lenny could not believe what he had just heard.
His stats would be halved?
All he had done was instinctively done what he was sure would allow him walk away with his life.
He had seen how ruthless demons were. He had also seen how strict and obedient they were to taking orders. Surely, disobedience was the worst sin here.
However, he just could not allow the fresh points that had presented itself to him just pass him by.
And so he did what he did.
He had not done it because he wanted to please the demon, but because he wanted to preserve his life.
However, it turned out that this was one thing that the system frowned on.
But to be honest, he was not at all very surprised at this.
Even the holy books in his former world talked about gods being jealous by nature. Definitely, someone like Lucifer would not allow bowing to other people. Especially to demons that betrayed him.
The Satan system was the remaining representation of Lucifer in this world. It had the ability to allow its users growth based on guidelines.
Definitely, there was going to be consequences for mess ups.
However, Lenny could not help but feel a little cheated. No one told him about such a thing.
He sighed lowly.
However, his problems had not yet started.
The instructor demon swallowed the chewed flesh in satisfaction.
"Not bad! Not bad!! But the fact remains that you disobeyed me. You will spar with four people, after which you will accept 50 lashes of the whip."
As he talked, he reached for the whip by his side.
Also, he waved his hands and four gladiators stepped forward.
Each and everyone of them was holding a weapon.
Unlike E444 they were not smiling. After all, every one of them had watched the battle between him and E444.
they were truly going to fight without holding back.
However, Lenny could not help but curse in his mind.
How was he going to fight this much with half his strength.
