Chapter 802 New Title: Time Crawler
In the regal ambiance of the throne room, King Solomon, with a gesture both grand and intimate, presented Lenny with a pearl, a gesture that was both a farewell and an initiation into a deeper realm of wisdom.
"Like I said, I did not ask for wealth but for wisdom. And with all you have seen and experienced, I am sure you already have an inkling of what my kind of wisdom entails. After all, a wise man is one that possesses incredible foresight or, at the very least, the experience of it," he imparted, his voice echoing with the weight of centuries.
As Solomon removed another pearl from his scepter, the atmosphere thickened with anticipation. "You and I have much to discuss. But as one who has proven his resolve to me, your path is distinctly your own. In schools, you learn first and are then tested. But for you, Lenny Tales, your education comes through the trials you endure. It is the blessing and the curse of those chosen to conquer the world."
With a flick, the pearl was sent spinning towards Lenny, a symbol of the wisdom and trials that lay ahead. "Soon, you will understand the kind of wisdom I was bestowed. When you do, wield it wisely. Every use comes at a price, a lesson you will learn the hard way. And next time, control the flow of time yourself. I won't intervene again. When we next meet, I'll introduce you to the others..."
Catching the pearl, Lenny felt a forceful pull, an expulsion from the ethereal world back to a starkly different reality. His voice, "Which others?" echoed unanswered as he was hurled back into the castle made entirely of bones, crashing into the wall with brutal force.
He collapsed, coughing up mouthfuls of blood, the harsh landing a painful reminder of the perilous journey ahead.
Then, a familiar voice cut through the haze, "Tell me, Lenny Tales, what did you see? How do you operate the shadow runes?" It was Ella the witch, her presence a stark contrast to the wisdom and serenity of Solomon's domain.
As Lenny's eyes adjusted, he found himself in the eerie castle of the Accords, the Nether realm's chilling embrace a far cry from the throne room's sanctity. Nearby, Athena struggled against her binds, her concern for Lenny evident despite her own peril.
"Impossible!" Lenny thought, but then Solomon's words resonated within him, "Soon, you will understand my kind of wisdom." The realization dawned on him with the weight of a thousand suns. "Time travel!" This was Solomon's gift, the source of his unparalleled wisdom. The ability to redo, to navigate the complexities of existence with the foresight granted by traversing time itself.
Now, back in the Nether realm, Lenny understood the magnitude of Solomon's parting gift.
He was given the chance to rewrite his story, to confront his challenges with the knowledge and wisdom of what was and what could be.
The path ahead was fraught with danger, but armed with the power of time travel, Lenny Tales was no longer a pawn in the machinations of the Nether realm. He was a player, one poised to change the game itself.
<Congratulations Host, you have successfully Time traveled>
<Gift of Solomon acknowledged>
< New Title: Time Crawler>
Lenny could not help but be surprised by the turn of events.
After all, this was the time before he was thrown into the red sands.
Before the death of Victor, before the loss of Athena and the torture she endured.
This was also before the betrayal that he endured from his own.
All of a sudden, he could not help but laugh loudly.
His laughter was loud, carrying his cockiness and his gladness.
Only moments ago, he had a dagger in his chest, threatening to end his life by destroying his consciousness, and now, he had been taken back in time.
Meanwhile, Ella looked at him with a brow raised.
She just did not understand what was so funny.
Then again, the ball of shadow runes was very unnatural.
It was only normal for a normal person to run mad because there stared at it.
However, Lenny suddenly stopped laughing, and then he turned to Athena.
He still remembered how she died and how she suffered.
Lenny thought of her as an asshole, but even she did not deserve suffering that lasted that long.
Seeing her whole and worried for him actually made him smile.
"I have missed you Athena!" He suddenly spoke up, making the women even more confused.
And then he turned to Ella. Looking at her in the eyes, "Oh heavens! It will be a pleasure to kill you again, you know right?"
Ella frowned, "How dare you!?" She snapped lenny to the ground, sbd more blood fell from his mouth.
However, Lenny chuckled evilly, his smile was wide and his grin was menacing.
And for reason that Ella could not understand, as she looked at him, she was suddenly gripped by a sought of fear.
It was a kind of premonition, a gift from the cosmos to her. A kind of prediction of the inevitable.
Instinctively, she released her killing Intent with the intension of fighting back.
It was dark and menacing. And it spread around the room.
Even Athena shrouded at it.
She had never felt killing Intent so potent before.
Then again, this was expected. Ella was a six hundred year old witch.
Nevertheless, Lenny did not move. He did not even flinch a bit.
Ella remembered that once upon a time, she had released her killing Intent at lenny when they were on Earth and he had been captured by the fear it gave.
But now, it was like her killing Intent only bkew through his hair, like a warm summer breeze.
He did not even blink.
This Vexed her. And then a thought came to her, and she gave a grin.
"Let's see if you are still smiling when you see what I have in store for you."
She grabbed in by the hair and a side of the bone castle opened up.
