Devil Slave (Satan system)

Lenny stretched his body. The way he yawned, looked like he was just waking up from sleep. However, it was out of boredom.

What he had done had been very easy.

Ever since the last time he ate the heart of the centipede Creature and he entered a frenzy mating state, he had become extra conscious about what he put into his mouth.

For one thing, he knew that the system would not allow him to die from poison, but that did not mean that it would not allow the effects of other substances.

Lenny was already prepared for the food Old man Buckle gave him even before he ate it.

The system had helped him to scan it, and told him the properties even before consumption.

Naturally, Lenny had put effects in place.

It was an old techniques assassins had that had been used for hundreds of years.

this technique was sophisticated and only a few ever achieved it in his line of work. The techique was mostly used by female assassins that used their beauty to get the job done.

One would drink or ingest the poisoned substance in front of the client in other to induce trust.

It was a natural occurrence to trust a person once evidence that the meal was safe was given with the person's own body.

Afterwards, the substance would be offered to the target. After ingesting, the target would naturally die.

After Scanning the meal with the Satan System, the system informed him of the contents of the food and its effects in his body.

Without hesitation, Lenny performed the art in his body.

This was an assassin martial art that stopped one's stomach from digesting food.

this was in on itself a scary technique and required intense focus to be achieved.

The process was done by stopping the production of digestive enzymes in the stomach and sealing blood circulation from that part of the body.

Usually, digestion occurs passively, and was involuntary. However, not for Assassins of a high caliber.

The regulation of energy in their bodies was controlled to even the smallest fraction.

Some of them could even control involuntary muscles like the heart and slow down its beat to a crawl. Some highly skilled ones could even fake death with this. Their hearts only giving about two beats every ten minutes.

<Congratulations +2 Sta>

His killing of Bugger had given points that added up to his strength.

Lenny pushed his hand into his throat to activate his gag reflexes and he vomited the food.

Afterwards, he went to peep outside the Hut.

Activities were still happening in the village as usual.

However, he could see that Old man Buckle had left the village entrance.

Lenny looked around.

There was a blanket made out of Cotton in a corner. He used it as a blind over his head, and then he headed out.

Luckily, the trust that old man Buckle had in his drug was high and that was why he only had Bugger act as Guard.

Lenny made himself look small as he looked around the place for a way out.

However, this Dome where the village lay, only had one entrance in and the same exit out.

The only other way, was if he could climb up to the ceiling like last time. That was the only place with Holes that allowed for air into the dome.

Doing that would pull attention to him. Attention he did not want.

As much as Lenny wanted to just charge through the front door, he knew that was a terrible idea.

for one, Old man Buckle was a veteran with years of experience killing and surviving for his life.

He had been so good that the queen of the Colony had seen it as a wiser idea to recruit him.

Also, he was a C class gladiator.

He also had Darkline energy which was the power of the demons.

Lenny even with his many achievements was not so dumb as to think that he was going to survive a killing blow from such a person.

And lastly, from what the old man said, he had some form of control over these Chimera ants by the authority of the Queen.

Without a doubt, a head-on confrontation with such a person was him offering himself like a lamb to the slaughter.

There was also the fact that who so ever or rather what so ever it was that he was going to welcome outside was a threat was also a strong possibility.

Just as he was looking around and thinking of a way to escape, someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a little boy.

He had been playing with his friends but some how, had sighted the supious person.

It was the same boy that Lenny had threated the last time and then saved that had offered him food the first time.

Lenny brought a hand to his lips, "Shush!"

The boy nodded in understanding.

He might have only been months old and looked like a child of seven but he was obviously intelligent enough.

And then the boy did something that surprised him.

He motioned for Lenny to follow him.

At first, Lenny was skeptical about this, but he followed after him.

The village was busy as ever.

The boy led Lenny to the back of the village.

Just ahead was where the Humanoid Chimera ants were kept.

The person acting as a guard in front of this Cave was the second person that had brought Lenny into this place. This was Bugger's brother.

Just like Bugger. He was tough and savage looking.

Lenny used Surveyor on him.

His name was Begger.

If this situation was not a serious one, Lenny would have cracked a laugh.

"There is a hidden passage behind the cage, "Great great grand dad made it there in case of emergences." The boy explained.

Lenny nodded in understanding.

However, he would be needing a distraction for Begger to leave the cage area.

Lenny had an idea and whispered some words into the boy's ear.

the boy nodded and ran to do as Lenny instructed.

naturally, the plan was a simple one.

"Uncle Begger! uncle Bugger has been wounded by the prisoner. He is escaping."

Hearing this, Begger ran in the direction of the hut Lenny had been kept prisoner.

In his hurry, he had even passed by Lenny without realizing it.

The moment he was gone, Lenny went to the cage.

On reaching it, the foul pungent smell from within reached his nose.

this made him frown.

However, this was something that he had to do.

He immediately went behind it.

As he did, he could see the Humanoid Insects within.

Some of them sneered at him and some others could not be bothered.

Just as the kid had said, Lenny found a huge stone slap.

he went to one side and pushed it open.

It was not even as heavy as it looked.

Most likely as a means of easy escape when necessary.

Lenny pushed it open. And they it was.

This was his ticket out of this place.

However, only a step out and he paused.

Within the system, he could still see the flashing Quest

<Hidden Quest: Survive the Gladiator Village>

It was true that if he stepped out of this place, he would most likely be passing this quest.

But there was truly no way to be sure of that.

After all, he had left and came back before and the Mission Tag was still there.

To truly be sure that he harvested all the points that this place had to offer, he had to...

Lenny paused as a malevolent smile stained his lips.

He turned to the cave of Humanoid insects.

it was clear in the time that he was not here that old man Buckle had restocked.

Even though the old man said he could command the insects because of authority from the queen, when these humanoid beasts attacked, he could not control them.

A sad plan slowly formed in Lenny's head.

he went to the gate to the cage,

He smiled as he immediately opened the locks.

However, he had only started when he felt a tug at his side.

He looked and saw that it was the kid from earlier on.

The kid shook his head at Lenny. Obviously telling him not to open the cage.

Lenny sighed, "I'm sorry Kid, but you are also part of the village."

He immediately grabbed the boy by his neck.

With an aggressive tug, he broke it.

Afterwards, he threw him like a used rag.

Naturally, and with no interruptions, Lenny progressed with his plan.

Immediately after the cage was opened, the Humanoid insects inside went into the village on their wild exploration.

While one or two of them stopped by the kid Lenny just killed and tore at his still-fresh corpse.

Without any feeling for what had just happened, Lenny exited the village as the screams of women and children gave him a warm farewell from behind...
