"Wait a minute! A what?" Lenny raised a brow at her.
"Or are you not? After all, even if you are half-born, it means that you should be half human and half demon. Against my arrow of light, you should be rolling on the ground in pain, as your Darkline magic is being sucked dry." She took another step towards him and leaned in, taking a better look at the injury as it healed.
"From What I can see, my speed was your only enemy."
Ella looked at him up and down, "Give me your palm!" She ordered.
It was obvious that she was not an enemy.
Lenny raised his hand toward her.
She immediately took it in hers. Her movement was so sharp that Lenny had to admit that he had only seen her afterimage, and all the while, she had not moved her eyes from his face.
This instantly told Lenny two important things.
Firstly, it was safe to say that Ella could be far faster than this if she put her mind to it.
Secondly, his speed and strength, which he thought he was so proud of, were nothing before her eyes.
It would even seem like she had manipulative qualities to some extent.
Effectively speaking, she could render any threat he posed totally useless.
This was a very strong woman.
Her hand hovered above his as it shone in a low white light.
It was as if her hand had become a low-light bulb.
Lenny could feel the Holy power in his body respond to her own.
However, without the System's permission, any needed response was not going to show.
Ella suddenly frowned.
"This is clearly Holy power, but something else is different. However, I can at least confirm one thing."
"What is that?" Lenny asked out of curiosity.
"You, my friend, are not half-born."
"Erm... Lenny!" Scarface's voice interrupted their conversation.
"I don't know what's wrong, but Nicky has suddenly developed a fever."
Ella walked past Lenny to the car.
She reached in and placed a hand on Nicky's head. Her hand glowed in a low white light.
She frowned. "Her life is in danger; if we don't attend to her now, she will die."
Instantly, she pulled Nicky out of the car.
However, as she did, she noticed Father Black hiding under the front seat compartment.
Shamelessly, he waved to her.
"You owe me money!" She stated this but didn't dwell on the matter.
She took Nicky in her hands, carrying her like she weighed next to nothing.
She turned to Lenny, "I am doing this for you and only you."
She carried Nicky towards the gate.
After a few steps, she stopped and turned to the three men, "Are you coming or what?"
All three of them followed behind her.
As they walked through the gates, Lenny could still feel the muzzle of the weapons pointed at him.
Apparently, these were very cautious people who were terrible to strangers.
The city walls were already very beautiful and full of life.
However, it was nothing compared to what was within.
It was nighttime, but the sweet life that blew into Lenny's senses was so rich that he could taste the sweetness of it in the air.
This town was evenly laid out. Houses on the sides that went downhill.
In the center was a wide two-way lane for the vehicles.
There was a long, unending line of fine, vibrant trees on each side that accentuated the patches of incommunicable life that filled the atmosphere.
The buildings themselves were not exempt from this feeling of life.
Flora could be seen growing on them, spread out on their walls like a carpet.
The vehicles here were like nothing he had seen before, vastly different from the ones in the outside world.
What drew his attention to them was their kind of aesthetic appearance.
They looked like they were made of engines that ran on coal, and the cars even had that 80s feel about them.
However, the exhaust pipe did not give out smoke, but rather bubbles.
Yes! Bubbles.
This was engineering like Lenny had never seen in his entire life.
This meant that these cars did not run on normal engines or carbon combustion.
If only those old men of his former world who gave their lives to the glorious engineering of a better future could see this, tears would water down their eyes.
After all, this town had effectively entered an age where carbon emissions had been eliminated from its society.
A strong sense of curiosity had been roused in Lenny, and the slumbering nerd inside him had been brought to life.
He really wanted to get inside one of these vehicles and study it.
The urge was so great that he took sharp breaths, in and out, in order to hold himself back.
There were people on the streets—not too many.
Their dressing pattern was quite unique, far different from any of the modern worlds he was familiar with.
It was as if not just the vehicle design but also the people went back in time.
The 80s vibe was the fashion style of the day.
Most of them looked like they were coming back from work.
However, the one particular thing common to all of them was the fact that they all looked happier.
Ella noticed his observing eyes but said nothing.
As far as she was concerned, Lenny was worse than a village pumpkin.
In fact, it was safe to say that he was a barbarian seeing the modern world for the very first time.
Then again, he even dressed like one.
A black van arrived in front of Ella.
Some of us dressed in all black with red berets came down with a stretcher.
They saluted Ella before taking Nicky from her hands and putting her on the stretcher.
"Wait, I want to go with her." Scarface quickly stated this as he rushed into the back of the van.
Ella turned to Father Black. Her eyes said that she was expecting him to follow along.
Father Black sighed, "Hold up, I'm coming too!"
He got into the van, leaving Lenny and Ella behind.
Another vehicle came around in front of them.
This was a black limousine.
The driver, who was a woman, came down and opened the door for them.
"Follow me!" Ella went into the Limousine.
