Chapter 749 One Ace Down
"Anguis, listen to my words! I command you!"
Even though Lenny said this, they did not stop their attacks. instead, he heard a faint whisper in his mind from the snakes, "accept you... funny maggot. we acknowledge you not?"
Lenny frowned even more. This was what he was trying to avoid. he knew that something like this might happen.
The worse part of it was that the more these snakes destroyed and caused chaos, the stronger he could feel their power grow. It was like they fed on sheer anarchy.
"Fuck It!" lenny cursed as he activated yet another gift he had acquired from Vandora.
One of Lenny's eyes suddenly changed color to a shinning gold.
"LIVING EYE!"
The moment the living eye made its appearance, the earth crackled with the strong smell of Pride. Even though Lenny was in the air, the earth literally cracked open as if to beg before the lord of pride for mercy.
The Snakes suddenly stopped their assault as they turned in his direction. Slowly, they all moved for Lenny, giant serpents of divine carnage.
They surrounded Lenny, observing him with their eyes that seemed to lead to the fiery abyss of damnation.
Lenny held Anguis by the Rod to his face, and then he spoke again. This time around, in a foreign language. This was Enochian, the language of Angels.
His words came out like the play of strings. A human's vocal cords should not make such sounds. But there did.
All that heard his voice from below were instantly lost in a trance of sorts as they could not help but think it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
However, victor was a far more experienced man. Coupled with the fact that he had lived with Vandora for many years, he was more than aware of the dangers of listening to the language of angels.
He immediately slammed his ears with his fingers, instantly destroying his own ear drums.
He turned to his Werewolf kin and instructed that they did the same.
Some were unfortunate to have already entered a kind of trance, their orifices bleeding as their gaze remained on Lenny.
those that were stronger, immediately destroyed their own ears.
A few slower ones were so unfortunate that they literally blew up on the spot. They blew up in a terrible display of blood and meat paste.
"Fuck!" Victor cursed as he acted by himself, rushing about the battlefield to save his children by destroying their ear drums.
He managed to reach those that were still alive, but then he instantly remembered that he had forgotten one more person.
Victor desperately looked around. It was none other than Luca.
He rushed to Luca's position, but to his surprise, Luca did not bleed and blow up like the others did.
Instead, his blue eyes shone in a faint light as he muttered. "That's not the common tongue, but... I... understand it perfectly."
Anguis was an Holy Tool by origin. The command by Angel tongue and the aura of their master was one that the serpents greatly remembered.
However, Lenny's intonation of the language of Angels suddenly changed. And with that slight change alone, he had corrupted the language, turning it into the language of curses.
Anguis was the Holy Tool of the first sin, the Sin of pride. The bringer of the first sin and as such, the bringer of the first curse.
It was a perfect instrument for lenny's current need.
Lenny raised Anguis high, its dark energy swirling around him, forming a vortex of shadow and light. He began to chant, words not his own flowing through him as his golden eye shone like a little sun, a language of curses forgotten by time. The air crackled with power, the ground trembled, and the sky roared.
As the chant reached its crescendo, Lenny thrust Anguis forward, directing its cursed energy towards the merging Invitation stones. A beam of dark-red Holy light shot out, colliding with the stones, enveloping them in a maelstrom of shadow and screaming winds.
The effect was immediate. The pillar of purple light began to waver, its intensity diminishing as the cursed energy from Anguis worked to unravel the cosmic law energies binding it. The runes in the air started to dissipate, their melody of doom fading into silence.
Lenny held Anguis steady, his entire being focused on maintaining the curse, his will battling against the immense power of the Leviathans seeking freedom. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his muscles screamed in protest, but he did not waver.
After what seemed like an eternity, the pillar of light collapsed in on itself, the cosmic law energies dissipating into the ether. The ground settled, and the sky cleared, the normal rhythm of the world slowly resuming.
Exhausted but triumphant, Lenny lowered Anguis. The Devil's Holy Tool had served its purpose, but at what cost?
He had just lost one of the Ace up his sleeves. At the moment, he could only use lucifer's eye one more time, and it was over for him.
Also, he could feel a mass of negative blessings, curses, flow from Anguis and into his body, as if in an attempt to corrupt him.
He could feel the toll it had taken on him, a dark seed planted in his soul. But for now, the immediate threat was over, the Leviathans remained imprisoned, and the world was safe, for the moment.
Without warning, Lenny waved Anguis in the air, sending the devil's weapon back into the Storage.
Lenny looked around at the aftermath, his mind already racing to the next challenge.
The use of Anguis had likely not gone unnoticed by forces beyond this realm, and he would need to be prepared for whatever came next. But for now, he had won a crucial battle, and that was what mattered.
Lenny flew down to Victor. The sight of Victor left him surprised. For one, Victor was bleeding from his ears.
"Don't worry about it, brother. Its just a little injury. It will heal up in a bit...."
