Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 502 Training

The cries of Mr. Martin were the melodies that blessed the night all the way to the morning of the next day.

Lenny sat on a couch in the corner, a good distance away from the operating table he had used.

Yet, Mr. Martin had stretched his brain cells from the table all the way across the room, looking like a long line of dried-up noodles all the way to where Lenny sat, just to hand Lenny his core.

In fact, even in this state, he practically begged Lenny to take it from his hands.

Naturally, Lenny obliged after much pleading for death.

The moment he did, the extended brain cells shriveled up and fell to the ground, becoming dust.

Mr. Martin had truly died.

<Alert: Host has come in contact with the blessed core of a mutated human...>

<Consume for points and overall increase in stats>

Lenny was taken aback by this. He remembered his conversation with Vine. According to what she told him, half-borns were not supposed to be able to consume the cores of others.

After all, she said that it had something to do with bloodlines and the like.

Nevertheless, here was the Satan system telling him that he could very well consume the core.

If he had known this all this while, he would not have even wasted time torturing Mr. Martin. He would have outright stood up and killed him by himself.

Then again, Mr. Martin had caused pain and death to many innocents. Lenny had no remorse for the torturous way that he died.

Looking at the shiny pearl in his hand, Lenny opened his mouth and consumed it immediately.

The moment he swallowed, the pearl seemed to diffuse within his body.

<Alert: Core of a Mutated Human, half a step into the Deep Demon Level Consumed>

<Overall Stats Increment +100 points>

<Blessing of the royal family of Gluttony discovered within Core>

<...Absorbing the Blessing of Gluttony...>

<Calculating....>

<In need of more blessing samples to unlock CONSUMER>

<Congratulations, second ability absorbed: cellular control.>

<Host can now control and manipulate cells outside of the body: Duration, 48 hours>

Lenny's eyes shone at this alert. Immediately, he wanted to test it out.

He raised his hand to his face, and then he made a cut on his skin with a knife.

And just as the blood flowed out, Lenny discovered that he could control the blood flow.

For him, it was as if he suddenly had extra extensions of his own body.

He could already imagine how useful such a skill would be in actual battle.

However, the alerts did not stop there.

<Alert: New Mission Unlocked: Loot 3>

<Loot the core of every fighter in the Arena>

<Reward: Punishment on Magic Points Removed>

Lenny chuckled lightly at this mission statement. He had already done Loot 1 and Loot 2.

The first was when he looted the pirate ship that gave him that primordial beast eye, and the second was when he looted the crystal ball from the Magi school.

Lenny, till this moment, had not used any of these items and still did not see the use of any of them. However, these missions had been given by Fate.

Lenny did not mind these missions because they were still in line with his overall goals.

Then again, Lenny was one to believe that these missions couldn't have just been for nothing.

After all, if there was one thing that should not be underestimated, it was fate.

Nevertheless, on the issue of taking the core of those in the arena, this was something that he had already thought about the moment he discovered that he could absorb the core of other people.

Lenny stood up from his seat, as he was in a very good mood. He stretched a bit. It was a good feeling to know that his strength had improved.

However, it was still nothing compared to what Riff was capable of doing. The fact that he still had such a scary, strong opponent to battle with was really a looming cloud over his head.

As things stood, he still had five days to go.

It was five days before the start of the tournament. But to Lenny, who had other plans, it was more.

He already planned on maximizing his strength these days by training within the system.

However, before that, he was supposed to be meeting up with someone today.

The sun had not even risen, but the pressure that he was not strong enough loomed over his head, and he wanted to immediately dive into training.

Waiting for that fellow to come get him was a waste of precious time.

Lenny decided to go and get him instead.

Every member of the household was busy with one thing or another, including Vine.

After seeing what Lenny had done to Mr. Martin, she immediately ordered some books for her to brush up on her knowledge.

She suddenly felt as if she was greatly lacking and needed to improve.

Victor was still sorting out the ten he had saved, Moses had gone into hibernation, and Perseus... Well, Lenny had no idea where he was.

Without a moment to waste, Lenny immediately headed out.

He did not walk but ran all the way to the plaza.

Time was a precious commodity for him, and he did not want to lack behind.

In no time, he had arrived at the plaza.

Because of the kind of people that the Giant Shadow Werewolves were, the plaza was always open. Anyone who wanted to go into the arena grounds for battle was welcome to knock themselves out... Literally.

After the damage that Lenny and the Jungle brothers caused in this place, it was impressive to see that it had already been quickly fixed.

But not just that.

Lenny also noticed that new runes had been added to the walls, most likely to fortify the place even more.

Lenny made his way to the room that belonged to Elder Isiah, and without even knocking, he opened the door.

What he saw made him frown. "Oh sh*t!"
