Chapter 725 Shadow Rune Vs Blood Rune
Lenny understood what had happened.
without any other thing to say, he turned and moved away.
However, Jasper saw this. She was person that had once lived amongst the people of this very town. she very much understood their pain, but at the same time, she also understood Lenny's desire.
lenny was not a good person. in fact, he could not even claim to be one. but it was evident that he still had a goal in mind, and a vision for the people of this world.
of course, they was also the option of using force for them to accept the freedom that he had given them, but what difference would that make him from the demons. He would be no doubt be as bad as they were.
Jasper immediately wriggled her way and jumped down from the back of werewolf that was carrying her.
Instantly, she waved her hands and a mass of darkline magic shot out in all directions from her body, instantly, pulling attention of everyone to herself.
Those that knew her, instantly recognized her.
"Is that not Jasper, old meg's wife?"
"Yes, it is her!"
"When did she join Lenny tales, and when did she develop magic? is that not forbidden?"
Different whispers went around the crowd. However, the one thing that they all had in common was the fact that they were talking about her.
Seeing that she had gotten their attention, she spoke.
"The apocalypse happened sixty years ago. We were not even the sinners that brought the wrath of the heavens on us, and yet we suffer in place of those that have come before us. For days, months, years, we have been oppressed by the demons. Day and night we have prayed, begged the heavens for a way out. "
She placed her hands to her chest, "... I know this more than anyone because i am one of you. I have ate, slept and struggled with all of you. I have felt your pain, and the brutality that we all suffered. I know it all. And i know more than anyone that we all desire to be free.
They were many of us that even gave up on that freedom, gave up on praying and hoping that on the next minute or hour, we do not become the next meal in the stomach of the demons.
And now, the heavens answered our prayers. The legendary Saint, Lenny Tales. The first of his kind to break through a demon's hold and bring down their town stands before you, bringing you the sweet flavor of your freedom, and what you are more concerned about is how to please your slave master?
Do you all not feel shame for even standing before him?" As she spoke, the crowd was silent as they listened to her, and many of them bowed their heads, in an attempt to hide their shame.
Jasper pointed to the mountain of demon corpse.
"Those things killed and fed on your brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers, and you rather call them gods and worship at their feet. A savior comes to set you free and you are all more bothered about how good your flesh and bones feel in their teeth."
"But should we not fear!?" the old man that had excited the crowd into cursing lenny spoke up again. "If we keep quiet and do as we ask, we live in peace and we get food to eat. some very obedient ones can even get wives and husbands. This is how we have lived for ten years. Why must we change this now?"
At this point Jasper walked over to the man with her brows raised. She looked closely at this man. "I have lived for a very long time in this place, but i have never seen you!"
The moment she said those words, everyone looked at the old man closely. It was only now that many of them realized that they had actually never seen the man before.
*Cough!* The old man coughed awkwardly, "What do you mean? I am an old member of this town. I have been here since the Magi were in charge. There is no one here that does not know me."
As he talked, Lenny looked at the man closely and he frowned a bit.
Allison suddenly appeared behind the man. *Sniff! Sniff!*
"You smell... Funny!" she frowned.
At this moment, the man started to back away, "what do you mean? are you trying to accuse me? I have been a long time member of this community. Are you trying to accuse me or something."
Even though he said this, he still backed away.
Meanwhile, Allison frowned even more, "you are not human, are you?"
By now, cold sweat had started to appear on the man's face. Even though it was clearly still early hours of the morning, he was still sweating buckets.
Instantly, he turned around to run. However, he collided with what felt like a wall. Lenny had appeared in front of him.
lenny grabbed him by his neck.
"Hey! What are you doing? I am a human. Are you killing humans now!?"The old man screamed and complained as he tried to incite the crowd some more.
However no one was foolish enough to challenge a person that had killed demons like he was cutting weed.
lenny's fingers moved.
*CRACK!* Instantly, breaking the old man's neck.
However, as he did, the old man suddenly turned to red ink in Lenny's hand. The Ink flowed through through the ground to the center of the town.
Lenny instantly understood what was going on.
That old man was a physical manifestation of the Rune, the mark that Cuban had in the town.
The Rune had manifested itself in a manner that ensured that it protected Cuban's interest.
lenny walked over to the center. There, in the ground, a symbol made of red ink and blood. It gave a very eerie vibe.
"Hmmm!" Lenny nodded as he massaged his jaw. He waved his hands in the air as shadow runes suddenly appeared...
