Lenny had to admit that A222 was right.
For this tournament, the Magistri had given his all.
He had made sure that he had selected only the best for this mission.
However, Lenny also had his own plans.
He did not want to be another person's puppet any longer.
Lenny could tell that the moment they won this tournament, the Magistri would find a way to turn him to one of them once they got back home.
Or even worse, silence him.
After all, a person was only useful when they were useful.
Otherwise, they are useless.
It was best to take action when he was useful.
Lenny was given his own private room. This was requested specially for him by Cuban in appreciation for his hard work earlier in the day.
Lenny laid on the low cotton bed to relax.
This was the most comfortable place he had ever laid his back on since he came into this world.
However, the allure of sleep was the last thing on his mind. He let loose his perception ability, focusing all his power including magic points into his exploration.
His perception spread all the way to the other gladiator cells.
The rest of his teammates shared a room.
He could see E666 riding on top of one of the B class Gladiators in his team.
He couldn't help but feel pity for the unlucky soul.
In fact, he felt Pity for any one that would stick their thing inside E666.
A222 laid at a corner.
The moment his perception brushed over her skin, she opened her eyes and looked around, but dis not notice anything wrong about her.
She shook her head and went back to sleep.
Seeing this, Lenny nodded in acknowledgment of her perceptive abilities.
His senses flowed out more into other cells.
He could see them doing their own thing.
Some not much different from what E666 was doing.
His perception went past them and then out the gladiator area.
He could feel the different kinds of demons on Patrol.
Just then, his senses stopped where Basket face the butler was having a conversation with another demon hidden on the dark.
"The lady's birthday celebration this year might be the last if care is not taken." The demon adviced Basket face, "I did just as you requested and it's true. The governor was really wounded on the battlefield in a corrupted devil dungeon. The maids said that he has contacted the Devil corruption. He only has a few more days before his power can no longer hold back the corruption. What are you going to do about this? If the governor goes mad, they will come for his position."
Basket face nodded, "I know! My lady has already put up plans in place. Whether it's her brothers or the other houses aiming for the Governor's sit, she is already prepared."
"I really hope you are right. If not, I'll advice that you extinguish your loyalty to her. They are far better masters to serve. I heard her elder brother has reached the Great demon ranks and she is only a deep level demon. Surely, you are aware of who the people will choose to lead them. Demons are only loyal to the strongest."
"I know," Basket face nodded, "why do you think she is putting much effort into the tournament this year. My lady even went so far as to secure the vital core of an hell beast of primordial origin just to sway the hearts of the Arena masters."
"Yes, I heard of that. What exactly is that about?" The demon asked.
Basket mouth looked around, there was no one watching. He leaned in.
"Normally, I would not tell anyone about this, but you my friend have been with me since our days fighting the corrupted."
Basket mouth leaned in further, "do you remember that little escortion last year?"
"Yes, I do."
"We found it. What we were looking for, we actually found it."
A black hand from the shadow grabbed Basket face chest, "really? You found a piece of the first fallen!? Why didn't you tell me all this time?"
*Shush!*
Basket face motioned for the demon to shut up, "yes we did. And there was no need to tell you when you had your own missions. The map to the location sits with my lady. However, there is a problem with it. It is in a dungeon."
"And what is the problem with that?" The demon asked.
"Firstly, it is a corrupted dungeon. Secondly, It is a ranked dungeon. Because of my lady's rank, she can't get in."
"Then just send anybody in there."
"We done that already, the corruption within the cave is too strong. The all came out corrupted. Finding gladiators that will get it in this tournament is her aim."
"Hmmm, I see. This had better work. After all, this is a piece of Lucifer Morningstar we are talking about."
Lenny had heard the conversation this far, a d had not been too sure of who they referred to as the first fallen.
However, the moment they mentioned Lucifer Morningstar's name, he gasped.
Unfortunately, this was reflected in his perception ability.
Basket face suddenly paused and turned to him.
Even though he was not there to see him, Lenny felt as if the demon was looking right at him.
Basket face stretched a hand in the air, and Kenny suddenly felt as if he was being choked.
Immediately, he pulled back his perception ability.
Basket face frowned at this, "they got away!"
*Cough*cough*
He coughed to the side, blood pouring out of his mouth.
Lenny massaged his neck. There was a choking mark on it.
Even though he had not been there, the demon's power had still reached him.
He had been extra careful. This was not like that time when he was just experimenting with his ability and had used it to spy on the magistri.
Now, he was more refined with it and could easily bend it as he wished especially with the help of his magic points.
However, he had messed up when he allowed his emotions to get involved the moment he heard Lucifer's name.
He coughed up some blood to the side and rested back into the bed.
He breath in and out heavily.
He had truly not expected to hear and know the things he just did.
According to what he heard, lady Vinegar was very well willing to sacrifice the core of a hell's beast of Primordial origin just to get the better reward of having a piece of Lucifer morningstar.
This was clearly sacrificing less for much more.
Lenny could tell from the conversation between the two that this piece of Lucifer was not going to be like the tiny drop of blood he had gotten from the Chimera queen.
Lenny's heart raced at the thought of it.
Apparently, Lady Vinegar would be expecting him to bring it to her. However, he had better plans for that piece of Lucifer morningstar.
It was already derp of the night, and Lenny was still on deep thought.
He already had the aim of defeating everyone in the Arena. However, he was wondering how he could keep the benefits of his effort to himself and not the demons that wanted to use him.
Just then, the door to his cell opened up.
A lady walked into the room.
Although her face was not clear because of the veil over it, Lenny could still tell that it was a woman from the curves of her body under the veil.
The woman stood before him, and then she slowly removed the stripes of her gown, letting her thin clothes pool underneath her.
There was barely any light in the room, with the only slight brightness coming from the light of the stars that sneaked in through the window.
However, even that did not reveal her face.
All the little light did, was dance on her fair saline skin.
Her curves looked like they were screaming for his immediate attention on them.
And his eyes drawn by her appetizing body stroked their firm gaxmze on her skin.
Her chest had perky breasts to bless their surface, with nipples he could see were erect to her arousal.
Even though she was naked, her breasts did not fall one bit, and in-between them, Lenny could see what he was sure was a gleaming necklace.
She walked over to his side.
Lenny watched as her fingers traced his body from his neck, through his firm chest.
Her middle finger was longer than the rest, and it danced on his well chiseled abs all the way to his loin cloth.
Gently, she reached inside to feel his man organ that was already veined and erect to the sight of her body.
Slowly, her fingers striped him.
Till this moment he could not see her face, but he could see her clear eyes that seem to glow as they were glued to his own, not parting ways even as her fingers striped him.
And then when his organ was revealed before her, she stood over him.
From the way she looked at his erection, Lenny could tell that she licked her lips in her hunger for him.
And then she squat low as she sat in his....
(Author's note: now that is how you do a cleave hanger.)
