Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 764 Blood Is Key

Just before the demon child fell into the grinder, Lenny moved.

With speed that was impossible for the eyes to follow, Lenny moved.contemporary romance

Instantly, just before the demon child would fall into the pit, he grabbed the child by the clothes.

This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise.

The demon mother froze, the demon monks froze and even Victor and Coco were absolutely surprised by what had just happened.

Even Lenny looked at his hands in shock. he could not believe what he had done. In truth, he could not even see reason for why he did what he did.

Instantly, one of the demons, the male monk demon, screamed in a low pitched eerie voice, "Blasphemy!" At the same time, it attacked Lenny with long claws for his head.

Lenny turned in the direction of the attack, sidestepping a bit and then he grabbed the demon's head.

*WUSH!*

white flames instantly engulfed the head of the creature, turning it to nothingness.

A t the same time, the second monk demon, this time around the female attacked.

With swift and precise motion, Lenny turned, waving past the attack to grab the demon's head.

*WUSH!*

His flames also destroyed the demon's head.

The bodies of both demons fell to the ground.

"Lenny!" Coco called to him, "what in lucifer's name did you do that for?"

Lenny looked at him and then back at his hands, "I... I don't know!"

"Shit!" Coco cursed. "That doesn't matter. We will talk about that later. For now, we have to move."

"Move!?" An eerie voice suddenly responded, "humans and a devil, in the holy land of the asmodeus family? you are going no where!"N♡vεlB¡n: Your Escape into Infinite Tales.

Surprisingly, that voice had come from the corpses Lenny had dealt with on the ground.

Right before their eyes, the muscles, veins, arteries, and tendons of the dead demons wriggled out of their wounds as they quickly formed the already destroyed heads.

Coco frowned, "remember when i told you everything in this world works by equivalent exchange with blood. This is what I meant. Even taking a life is not allowed here unless it is by the means of sacrificing blood."

*SHRINE"S JUDGEMENT!*

The two monk demons spoke in unison as their fingers made several hand signs.

*RING!*

A loud ring was heard as the image of a red bell shaped like a drop of blood appeared in the air.

And then it happened.

The Runes on the walls and the pillars all shone in an eerie red light.

From the walls, the runes forced their way out, forming beings made entirely of stone. They were humanoid in nature except for some that had more that two hands.

They all had one inverted eye on their foreheads that was sealed shot by blood threads.

The three men, Lenny, Coco and Victor, all stood back to back as they were surrounded by these beings.

"Coco!" Victor called, "what do we do?"

Coco looked around and then at one of the pits. "we are supposed to go through 'Offering'."

"The Fucking Grinder?" Victor asked.

"Yes! The pit works as a portal to the heart of the city. If we make enough Blood sacrifice to it, it will take us there." Coco replied.

Victor nodded. "Then all we need is to break through these bastards." As he said this, he moved. a turn in the air and his obsidian claws cut through the neck of the stone men.

However, just as it did, in a surprising twist of events, the stone head healed just as fast as he cut through it.

In fact, it even healed over his claws, making his hand stuck in the stone humaniod's body.

At the same time, the stone Humaniod struck with its own fist.

It was just a punch, but the hit sent waves behind Victor.

Victor was surprised buy this. After all, he was a Great demon rank existence. He should be more than capable of easily beating these creatures. Also, their attacks should not have these much effect on him, but some how, it did.

"like I said, the rules of this city are outside the norm of things. No matter the attack or technique you use, it will be of no use. Or do you think that if it was mere violence, we wouldn't have killed our way through to the heart of the city already?" Coco added.

The humanoids attacked. Their blows came straight for the kill. Each one of them moving with speed and agility that was not meant for creatures made entirely of stone.

Receiving Coco's advice, Lenny and victor only dodged the attacks without attacking back.

Nevertheless, this would definitely not be enough.

Victor turned in the direction of the demons that had been on the queue. The moment the fight had started, many of them had hurried along for safety.

But like any rush for safety by a group of people, this one had fallen to the ground.

Victor rushed for him, with a slicing motion, he cut through the demon's neck. As the blood flowed out, he splashed it on the humanoid stone monsters.

However, to his surprise, it had no effect.

But there was more.

The neck of the demon he cut suddenly mended back and the blood that had splashed in all directions went back into its body before it stood up and ran away.

"What the FUCK!" Victor cursed out loud. "I thought you said blood was the trick."

Coco on the other hand face palmed. He could not believe what he was seeing. "Blood is the trick, but it has to be willingly given out. Just think back at all you have seen entering this place. For blood to be considered payment, one must be in authority to give it out in the first place."

Victor suddenly remembered the demon children giving offerring to their elder with their blood. He also remembered the buying and selling they had seen with blood, and lastly, he remembered that the mother demon had presented her child as offering.

It suddenly made sense to him....
