Chapter 556 Lenny's Killing Intent
The once-deafening chorus of the jungle had vanished, replaced by an oppressive quiet that seemed to press against the eardrums.
Then came the stillness. The creatures, once in frenzied motion, froze in their tracks.
The people in the Arena and even the very ground of Imperilment seemed to all sigh in relief, no longer quivering under the impact of the restless movements of the Mutated creatures.
Simultaneously, the air took on a peculiar quality. It felt denser as if time itself had congealed into a syrupy substance, slowing down every movement.
Every muscle of the creatures, every sinew, seemed to stiffen, locking them in place.
This was Lenny's Power of Freeze. he had gotten this power from the Chimera ant colony, and had only rarely used this ability. After all, it was only barely usable in an actual fight, and most of his opponents have been stronger than him.
This meant that the use of this ability was nearly none existent. However, after it had evolved, he was now able to Freeze in place more than one target. Of course, there was a range for it, and he had tpo have had direct eye contact with the targets in question.
There was also the power difference. However, with the number of creatures all about him, he did not need to care and launched his power in all directions.
In the absence of sound and movement, the only thing that remained was the lingering tension.
It hung in the air, palpable and suffocating, a testament to the power of Lenny's ability. The mutated creatures, once fierce and untamed, were now reduced to statues, their ferocity frozen in time.
Everything that moved had totally come to a standstill.
This surprised Jungle Mama. However, she herself was no exception to this.
She too was frozen like the minions she had summoned to fight on her behalf.
Victor, not hearing any rumble from around him, slowly opened up his eyes. He was surprised to see that all the ferocious creatures slimy and chaotic were all frozen in place.
He did not know what Lenny had done. But this was proof that Lenny's power was more than what met the eyes.
To have used such power to hold so many creatures in place was really an incredible feat.
Lenny stepped forward and only stopped when he was before Jungle Mama.
He looked at her. Her Face was frozen in place but her eyes still showed her surprise and fear at his skill. In the current position, Lenny could definitely attack her and kill her.
There was absolutely nothing stopping him. However, would there be any fun in that?
If not for the fact that there was a crowd of people watching from the Arena, Lenny would not at all mind opening up her body to see the wonders she had inside. Who knew, he might find something interesting.
After all, no matter how similar, people were unique specimens. this was most true for mutated humans and demons.
Lenny raised a hand and stroked her face.
"When you call in the Jungle, the animals of the land must obey. But when I arrive..." Lenny's words slowed a little and he suddenly released the creatures in his hold, but at the same time, he released his killing intent rank aura into his environment.
All of a sudden, the creatures screeched in pain, many of them struggling as red thick bloody red miasma oozed from Lenny's body. It was so grotesque, a source of primal fear that it made the bats sending the image of what was happening to the Arena fall to the ground, spasming for life.
The image they sent back to the Arena became distorted and static.
While the crowd in the Arena was surprised at what was happening, Victor who was in Lenny's presence could not help but feel the fur of his skin instantly soak with sweat.
Lenny's killing Intent had not been directed towards him, but to the creatures around, and yet, even he could feel his knees weak with trouble.
Lenny's killing Intent literally formed a faceless entity, an embodiment of primordial fear behind him.
At least, this was what Victor thought he saw.
Victor had by chance managed to inherit the memories of a lot of people when he was almost merged with the wall at Bitter Street.
Although a lot of those memories were fragmented, many of them were not. It was the fruit of the unfortunate incident that had happened to him.
With those memories came their experiences. Although he was just at the lesser demon rank, he had experiences that were far more than that.
This meant that in this world, there were not a lot of things that could move him. However, he was left speechless and quivering in his knees when he saw the abominable entity that was released from Lenny's Killing intent.
The very air crackled as if Lady Death herself wanted to descend on the mortal plain, threatening to break through the fabric of reality to show her face and take her ripe harvest of souls.
Even the sky seemed to shake and seemed like it was about to tear open.
"How...How... How does he keep such a level of killing intent and not run mad!?" Victor asked himself.
The creatures around all ran away in different directions, all of them scared for their lives.
Those of much lower ranks remained frozen in place, their orifices spitting out blood that rejected their bodies as they spasmed continually on the ground.
It was as if imperilment itself shook to the arrival of Lenny's Killing intent.
In this manner, the Mutated creatures either died or escaped, crushing each other to run for their lives.
Lenny, his eyes still on Jungle Mama suddenly smiled, and just as his Killing Intent had appeared, it immediately disappeared. It was as if it was never there in the first place.
All of it, the entity, the dark bloody miasma of an entity. it was all instantly gone.
And instantly, Jungle Mama fell to the ground.
it was not fear that made her fall. No, it was the sudden relief from it.
