Chapter 762 In The City
Coco made a cut on the meaty tube and into Hector's skin.
"what are you doing?" Lenny asked.
"The master's Apprentice's heart is in there. we are going to be having a bit of an assist to break the veil open." Coco answered as he waved his hand, his chaos magic guiding the blood that flowed out of Hector's Body.
And then he turned to Lenny, "now, its your turn!"
"My turn?"
Coco nodded, "my sources tell me that like the legends of old, you have the ability to write in shadow runes. With Power like that, there is no way you won't be able to break through the veil."
lenny nodded. He waved his hands, and shadow Runes appeared in thin air. many of them was as if they were peeling from his skin.
Coco saw this and he looked on with bright eyes. "Incredible! so it is true... you do have the ability to weave shadow runes. Only a few selected humans in the whole of history have had such a privilege and you actually have it."
Coco chuckled to himself.
Meanwhile, Lenny continued with the weaving, and when he was done, the shadow runes had sinked into the blood in the air.
All of a sudden, there was a sudden reaction.
It came from within the wandering city.
*Blast!*
A mass of blood as if having life of its own rushed from the city to the boundary.
The mass of blood in front of Lenny, now mixed with the shadow runes, responded to the one within. There was a kind of resonance between the two, and the shadow runes glowed slightly in an eerie darkness.
And that was when it happened. Like shattered glass, it broke open.
The mass of blood within and that outside suddenly merged together, forming a passage into the atmosphere of the city.
As it did, a smoke mass of darkline and chaos magic was released from within the city, blowing in the face of Lenny, Victor and Coco.
"this air from Judas is not healthy for the atmosphere of the earth." Coco spoke up, "The faster we do this, the better."
Lenny could see that coco was right. The mass of darkline and magic gas that came from within the wandering city was so terrible that it already turned the sky dark.
Coco nodded back at him, "The adversities in this place are going to hunt our dreams for the rest of our lives. Does anyone wish to return?" His question although rhetorical was obviously referring to lenny and Victor.
Lenny turned to?Victor and victor back at him. Victor had a wide Grin on his face, "i have lived for over two hundred years. That is far more than any Alpha that has come before me..." he snickered, "...it has been a relatively peaceful life. What i want now is the thrilling of an exciting death!"
those words made Lenny chuckle. Although Lenny was not looking for such a thing as he still had a duty to perform for the sake of his master. But he could still relate with Victor's desires.
"good!" Lenny remarked as he rushed into the Ethereal city. Victor followed after, and so did Coco.
Three men all within the great demon rank had made their arrival into the ever Wandering city.
The moment they landed, Lenny had barely had his footing on the ashened earth of the city when he heard loud eerie screams rush his way.
*RING!* RING!* RING!*
They came like the ringing of bells.
They came from rings scattered in the sky. These rings were made entirely of blood.
They were as huge as cars, but the most fascinating thing about them was the fact that they had faces, and they looked to be in both prayers and tears.
It was a puzzling site to see.
<Alert!>
The moment Lenny heard the alert from the Satan system, he placed his hands in front of his face as he activated his magic and white flames rushed all about his body.
However even his magic seemed to disperse a little as the sound waves from these demonic rings reached him.
This surprised him a little. After all, he was already a great demon existence and from the Satan system, he could see that these rings were barely in the lesser demon rank.
it was a surprise to his that their power could after him.
This was the same thing for victor.
Lenny waved his hands, firing car sized balls of white flames to the rings, but it was of no effect. Instead, the flames barely brushed against the body of the giant rings, flowing away like water on glass.
However, Coco rushed forward as he waved his hand.
From the hole they had made in the sky, hundreds of thousands of devils rushed in. The moment they did, they rushed for these rings instantly turning into pools of blood on contact.
And then the ringing was over.
"What was that?" Lenny asked Coco.
"This place exists within the veil, at the boundary of the eighth earth and yet within it. It operates by a different set of rules from our known reality. The last time my juniors came here, we discovered that the one rule that works against here is the Rule of sacrifice.
For one's will to be exerted, one must give, and in this place, the only payment is..."
"Blood!" Lenny finished his statement and he nodded in response.
"yes, the sacrifice here is blood. its the means of exchange in this city. But that alone is not the true test of this place. Its the fact that the quality and quantity differs the deeper we go."
Lenny raised his head to look at the sky.
It suddenly made sense to him why Coco had breed a lot of devils. His plan had never been to use them in a fight. No.
His plan had been to use them as equivalent exchange to get what he wanted.
He was going to sacrifice these millions of Devils.
Coco turned to lenny, "Those rings are just the intro, guards in case of an invader. We faced them the last time we came here. But more will come. We have to go underground."
Lenny raised a brow at those words, "and what of your... payment?" he pointed at the devils in the sky.
"Don't worry. This plan had been well thought of a long time ago. There will be fine. Our goal now, should be finding the master's Apprentice's heart. With that, we can definitely beat the baroness."
As he said this, the devils in the air suddenly turned invisible. As if they were merging with the air.
Truly, Coco had been very prepared for this.
"First, we head to the nearest town! that will be our ticket into the heart of the city. That is where we will find it."
"find what?" victor asked.
"The heart of the city. Coincidentally, it is also a prison.And in that Prison, you might find what you were searching for." he turned to Lenny.
"Yes, deep in that place is an Angel imprisoned."
Lenny heard those words and his curiosity had been peeked.
For a long time, he had wanted to find this angel. He needed clues to the other parts of Lucifer's body and even if he could not get that, he could at least absorb the angel, adding it to his power.
Then again, as curious as lenny was, he could not help but remember his first view of an angel.
Of course, it was of the Two Angels who protected the gate in the Nether Realm.
Just the pinky toe of one of them had been as big as a long Bus. He had not even been able to see the full body of the angel.
If this angel was anything like that, then this was going to be a very big meal.
without anymore waste of time, Lenny and Victor followed after Coco, activating their magics to move at incredible speeds.
.........
Meanwhile at another part of this city, Baroness Everbee sat on her throne. In her hand was a golden goblet. she placed it under the slit neck of a Ox looking demon.
The moment her goblet was full, she brought it to her slim, seductive lips, taking sips from the goblet. "finally, the prodigal son has arrived. This is going to be interesting."
She suddenly waved a hand, and her shadow materialized into a dark form, bowed before her.
"Go and play with him a little. Remember, to bring every flesh of his body the moment you kill him. That boy is practically a walking treasure chest."
The figure bowed and instantly turned into a shadow once more, exiting at light speed out of the room.
Baroness Everbee chuckled a bit. She was obviously excited.
..........
At the same time, no one noticed a figure slip through the hole that Coco had made in the sky. It was none other than Luca....
