Chapter 512 Let's see who ends as Prey
Clawed wrapped Duncan in his hands as they cuddled on the broad king-sized bed. The sheets were white but rough. Evidently, they had just finished a quick tango.
This was their own private quarters. It was hidden within Elder Isiah's Office. it was a pocket dimension, crafted specially for them by the Artisans of the city.
it was beautiful and was suiting of their status as powerful cultivators. Even though they were currently in hiding, Elder Isiah still managed to treat them right.
"Why did you leak Lenny's training location?" Clawed asked, "I know that you did it intentionally."
Duncan chuckled lightly as he turned to Clawed, "can you blame me? We both know that they are more like snacks for him than they are threats!"
Clawed sighed, "That would normally be the case since that kid is a wild dog. But we both know that curtain has Mr Augustus. That is the strength of a Great demon."
Duncan sat upright on the bed. "My dear, amongst all the others, You picked Lenny Tales. Besides, I think he already has their attention by now."
Clawed nodded, "I know, but I just couldn't help myself. From the moment I saw him fight in the Devil Dungeon, I knew that he was born for great things. Not any normal person can use an old technique like the O Gasume Stance and manage to slaughter thousands of devils.
Besides, you saw it too. The last time we met him, he was only around the second rank of the lesser demon realm. But now, he was able to kill the Jungle Brothers that were at around the peak of the lesser demon realm.
from the last time we saw him till now, it has only been a couple of months. Most demons, including us, required many years to reach the peak of the lesser demon Realm, but he reached it in only a short period of time.
It is not hard to see that he will one day reach and even surpass us. For a man like that, there are two options. It is either we kill him now in his infancy or we impact his growth and seek a future where he rules."
Duncan nodded, "I knew you had good foresight when I met you!" He leaned in, stroking one of Clawed's heads affectionately, "So that's why you suggested we dump him in the Sub plane instead of train him ourselves."
Clawed nodded, "Yes, my instinct tells me that place will do far better for Lenny than we would have as his teachers. Besides, danger is always a propeller of strength!"
Duncan smiled, "Oh, did you just quote a Human from your artifact collection?" he pushed Clawed unto the bed and mounted him. however, as he did, Clawed suddenly grabbed one of his heads and he aggressively pushed Duncan off him.
The force of which was not little.
*Boom*
Duncan smacked hard against the wall, denting it deeply. The attack had come unexpectedly and a drop of blood leaked from the side of his mouth.
However, he was not offended by this. He wiped his mouth with a hand as he rushed back for Clawed.
Clawed, on the other hand, grabbed his right head, as he struggled, gritting his teeth in pain, as he smacked, kicked, and punched himself.
He screamed his pain aggressively. A long line of red cracks formed at the center of his chest all the way up to the difference between both heads.
It seemed as if Clawed's body was about to aggressively split into two. each side was fighting with the other, either to stay or to leave.
Immediately, Duncan hugged him as soon as he reached him, activating his Darkline magic.
A Dark blue light launched from his body and enveloped Clawed, forcing his body to merge back.
Clawed kicked and screamed. A part of him obviously refused the process, but with the help of Duncan, he slowly settled down, the Crack instantly disappearing.
Duncan's chest was filled with bruises, but he did not mind.
"I'm sorry!" Clawed whispered, "I hurt you again."
"Don't worry, I don't mind. i don't mind it at all!" he patted Clawed affectionately.
"It's just that it's becoming worse. The rank 4 hell beast arrow stole fundamental energy from my Core when my father tried to kill me. I had just merged my bodies at that time. If I don't get it back in time, Clawed will be no more."
"I know! I know!! I also lost Danny that day. That is why we need the Whistle Horn of the Hell beast. With it, we can steal one treasure from anybody in the world. We will use it and steal the heart of the rank 4 hell beast from Father. Then you will be okay!"
Duncan patted Clawed's head affectionately. However, he had other thoughts in his head and a totally different expression on his face. It was one of mischievousness.
...
Meanwhile, Lenny observed Curtain and his lot of Werewolves as they discussed.
From the distance he was hidden, he could not hear what they were saying, but that did not mean he could not understand most of it.
It was an Assassin's technique, reading the lips, body language, and with the help of his passive ability 'Presence', he could feel the vibrations in the air and off the rocks and even the earth.
All this information came together in his head and produced an understanding for the situation.
Ulric took the bag of Devil pills and Curtin nodded as he turned to leave. "Remember, if Victor is not dead, you won't be able to return," he stepped into the Portal. The servant followed after him.
However, Curtin turned and kicked him back. "This one knows too much, deal with him please!"
As the portal disappeared the Servant tried to beg as he hurried forward, but it was no use.
The moment it closed, he looked at Ulric and the others panicking.
Ulric pretended not to see him and turned his back to walk away.
In his fear, he turned about and rushed into the wild. He had barely taken ten steps when a giant insect swooped down and grabbed him in its talons.
This was imperilment. One of the most dangerous sub planes for those below the Deep Demon level.
"Gadu!" Ulric called and a slimmer Werewolf stepped forward. "You are on tracking duty!"
"Yes, my lord!" Gadu replied. He sniffed the air and then the earth. He walked about a bit. Even though days had passed since lenny was here, he could still sniff out his presence.
Gadu suddenly looked high up the mountain. They were a distance away but Lenny felt as if their eyes had met for a brief second.
"I have found him, my lord," Gadu replied.
lenny frowned. He immediately knew that he had to be careful with Gadu. However, excitement suddenly filled him.
"A Hunt, I see! And just in time too!" Lenny smiled, "Let's see who ends as Prey!"
