Lenny had totally consumed the Mini boss soul devil like it was a bowl of Noodles.
He had absorbed it and made it a part of his power.
White maisma slowly floated from his body.
His eyes glowed white and in his current form, he looked like a literal god that had decided to visist the earth.
Lenny slowly picked up his weapons from the ground.
As he did, he waved them and his teammates panicked even more.
His suddenly resumes their usual color.
"Hmmm! Are you guys going to continue your orgy or are we going to go to the next level?"
Hearing this, C888 sighed as he fell on his ass.
He had been the person ready to die a few seconds ago, but hope for life was a rodent, and some where deep within him, it ate him up like his heart was made of Cheese.
They all took breaths of relief as they stood up.
A123 walked up to Lenny, "don't scare us like that again man!" He patted him on the shoulder.
Just then, the Castle corridor slowly changed.
It was turning back to the messy cave walls.
Every thing on the walls also disappeared.
The Soul Devil that conjured the Castle walls into existence was no more.
The effects of his power was now disappearing.
Just then, the Picture cut from the children's book when he was little entered his sights.
Immediately, Lenny picked it up.
This particular one,.he was.nog going to let go.
The Soul Devil had been up to date in detail, and that detail was the reason why it's life ended the way it did.
The walls disappeared and Lenny could see that just a few distance from them, weee corpses on the ground.
These were the people that Lenny had butchered when he was being controlled by the devil.
From this bunch, only two of them remained.
Blood flowed on the ground and body parts litterd the whole place.
The moment Lenny's eyes turned to them, they panicked and scurried to hide behind a rock.
Lenny chuckled a bit.
Even though he was under the control of the Soul Devil at the time, he still did not mind that he killed them.
After all, this was a competition.
Gladiators killed Gladiators. In this tournament, and against the competition, it was allowed.
Although he had no reason to kill them before,.he did not mind it now.
It was like the in decision one had whether to let an ant pass by or step on it.
Either ways, he did not care.
Lenny picked the black shield and sent it into his storage unit
"Let's go!"
His teammates followed behind him.
None of them acted as of the two cowering in a corner existed.
They walked through a Tunnel and down below they went.
It was not as long as the transition from the first Level into the the second level, but it still took them some time.
Surprisingly, they came across two pairs of long iron doors.
This was surprising.
Firstly, they had not been any doors since they entered these caves, except of course, when the Soul Devil turned the caves into a castle.
Soul Devils were thought to be very chaotic and babric beings.
The idea of a door was significance of intelligence and organisation.
This was the conclusion Lenny arrived at the moment he saw the door.
Whatever it was in this level, it was capable of intelligence, and strategic thinking process.
Enough that it could sort out its own privacy from the other Soul Devils and even minions.
"Be careful!" A222 suddenly adviced.
Lenny turned to her, "why!?"
"I don't know, but it's just weird in there."
"Weird!?"
"Yes. Unlike the other Levels, I can only sense three inside."
"Three!? Is that people or Devils?" A123 asked.
"I...I don't know," she shook her head.
"It's... different. They are all different," she turned to Lenny, "is it weird that I don't think we should take this step?"
Lenny Frowned.
A222 was the most sensitive one.
Her ears could tell the direction of the flow of blood in the body of a person.
She was that good.
If she was saying that it was not a good idea to walk through those doors, then it definitely was worth listening to.
However, the fact remained that they currently had no where else to go except forward.
The tournament remained clearing the Devil Dungeon.
Lenny turned to his teammates and then unable to hold it any longer, he burst into a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha!!!"
They all looked at him speechless.
"Why the long face? Whether it is man, devil or god, I will make it's knees touch the earth!"
Lenny advanced towards the door.
He had changed.
After what had happened with the soul Devil, his heart was clearer about his purpose and his goal.
He was here to be his master's judgement on the world.
This was the reason for his existence and he was going to carve the world in the image of his retribution.
He pushed the doors open and took a step in.
As he did, so did the others.
However, they all suddenly heard a loud but commanding voice in their heads.
"Finally, all the contestants are here. Sorry children! This one is for the big boys."
*Boom!*
A blast of choas magic blasted C888, A222 and A123 out of the door.
As it did, it also blasted out the bat eyes that was in charge of tracking their movements.
All except Lenny was allowed.
*DUM!!!*
The Doors promptly shut behind him.
*Cough! Cough!! Cough!!!*
They coughed up blood mixed with some of their innards.
"What the fuck was that!?" A123 stood up slowly.
He advanced towards the door.
"Arrrhhh!!!" With a loud war cry, he brandished his sword.on the doors.
*Boom!* Once more, another blast of energy sent him flying a distance.
"I'll advice for you not to try again," the voice adviced in their heads, "I won't be so lenient a next time."
Back at the Arena, the demons watching were just as baffled as the Gladiators watching.
"What's going on!?" Basit voiced the question on everyone's mind.
"It would seem like they have been shut out by the Devil Boss of the third Level." Basket face explained.
"That much I can see! But why!?"
"The same thing happened when those other two reached the Boss of the third level. Even the Bat eyes were sent out." Basket face explained further, "it would seem like what so ever is in there, does not want our prying eyes."
"So what does this mean? Is this the end of the competition?" Lady Hanger asked.
Basket face massaged his jaw as he thought hard about this.
"I don't think it's over just yet. All we can do now, is wait..."
