Chapter 1109: Is It A Dungeon?
"We will have to pull out the person pulling on the strings."
lenny brushed his robes aside, As he placed his hands on the ground, with his eyes closed, channeling runes into the earth.
The moment he did this, the lightened up in red rune symbols. However, he suddenly felt a rejection. That snapped his eyes opened.
He frowned a bit. And then he smiled, "I see, the usual runes are not enough to go through your defenses, and you even have a knack for feeding on soul runes. But don’t worry, I am different."
Instantly, on his body, runes appeared having very unique formations like geometric symbols. They were dark and as they moved, they were accompanied by a smoky aura. Rushing out from Lenny’s body into the ground.
The Old Elf saw this and his eyes looked at lenny in surprise, "Shadow Runes?" He could not believe his eyes. His old knees gave way weakly as he fell to the ground. Shadow runes were the rarest kind of rune formation and manipulation. Only a select few of great men and women in history had been capable of using it, and each one of them, changed the universe as a whole, or established a mark so great that the demon families either respected them or even feared them.
The last one that was known to the world was king Solomon, the man that made the Treaty with the Knights of the Nether and thus gave witches the negative magic that they were so proud of. King Solomon had literally invented a new kind of energy.
This was a revolutionary move that still saw its effects till this day, and was the usher for a lot of the apocalypse that had befallen the primary earths.
Such a thing was incredibly rare. It was no wonder that Lenny could seemingly decide to cast aside something as precious at the law that was rewarded by this land.
This was the old Elf’s thought. He did not know that lenny had other reasons for discarding the Laws.
Meanwhile those within the Arena were skeptical as to what was going on and only a hand full of people watching knew what was happening.
"It would seem like he is indeed special. He is even able to use shadow runes." Lamastu complimented. "Its no wonder he was able to take the both of us...Ummm! just thinking about him sliding in and out of me, gets me excited again." She had a glee look on her face, that made Naamah roll her eyes in her head.
However, Lenny just kept on coming with more surprises as time went on. First was the fact that he was able to solve the complex puzzles in the dungeon, and then he was even able to trick devils and destroy them, without needing to raise a finger.
It was indeed very incredible.
At such a time, The ground Lenny sat on suddenly began to glow in red runes that spread around the place like a web of interconnected complex formations.
As it spread outward, the devil king in the distance screamed loudly and then it waved its hands, ordering the other devils to attack.
"I am in too deep to back out now, I’ll leave the pests to the both of you." On saying this, the female Centaur stepped forward with her sword as she began hacking and killing.
Also, the Old elf waved his hands and more crystal seeds fell to the ground.
Instantly, they grew on their onw, bending and twisting to take giant crystal forms shaped like humans, however, each one of them had arms like giant spikes and swords.
Blood and guts scattered all around the place as the old man’s crystal trees and Lenny’s farm pet fought and massacred.
Lenny could tell that he was doing the right thing. after all, before, the devils could not leave the platform at will. But the moment he attempted hacking the place, everything changed.
These devils were nothing compared to the ones Lenny had dealt with initially. He knew that the old Elf and his farm pet could take care of things on his behalf. Therefore, he put all his concentration into the runes in this room.
Lenny was literally hacking into the Runes, breaking down their code find what it was that was greatly hidden deep within.
he could tell that the runes were fighting back, but they were nothing compared to the Sphere he had solved at the beginning of this event.
All he had to do was give out a part of himself to serve as a virus that infected the other runes, morphing them to be on hi side as his Shadow runes inflitrated even deeper.
At first, it was this room, and then the general space. he could see through the depths of his mind’s eye that they were other rooms like this one. all arranged in a systematic way to keep one drowned.
meaning that the boxes were actually arranged in a reverse compound method. For every time a box, or room was cleared, a smaller one was created within the previous one, and whene they thought they were actually unraveling the mystery, they were actually going deeper into the rabbit hole.
In other words, solving each box and the obstacle that it presented was not the key to passing the hurdles of this place, in fact, it was the key to trapping one’s self forever in this place.
Practically speaking, this dungeon was not designed to ever be solved. It was not like the other dungeons, that had the promise of rewards at the end of the suffering and pain.
And then a realization hit lenny as he dug even deeper. This dungeon, was not like the others that was the significance of a cage for the devils.
No, it was something more. It was something alive, something masking itself as who it was not.
According to what Lenny had found, the Dungeon was not a dungeon, In fact, the entire complex dungeon with all the traps that it had was in fact the DEVIL itself.
