Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 507 Cosmic Energy

Since Lenny had been in this place, it had been exactly two hundred days.

According to the Satan system, a day on the Eighth earth where he was from was equal to two hundred days in this subplane.

This meant that in the eighth earth, he was having just four days and a few more hours to the Alpha Selection Tournament.

That meant that he was having eight hundred days to the Alpha selection Tournament.

Although it would seem like a lot, It was actually not enough.

After all, in these two hundred days since had been here, Lenny had barely moved three kilometers from the point he had been dumped by Duncan.

Yet, he was supposed to search for a Hell beast that had his ticket back home.

lenny discovered that Duncan had been very kind with his words when he said that the deeper one went, the harder it was.

For Lenny, this was far worse than the time he was stuck within the chimera Ant cave.

At least back then, they were always places he knew that he could relax and catch a breather in.

However, every turn in this world was an abominable creature that wanted to know what his flesh tasted like.

There was no pickiness when it came to food.

lenny had even seen a creature that looked like a giant worm melting down rock for food.

In this place, the strength he had become so proud of for achieving had now become next to nothing.

He was an assassin but had not noticed several times when some abominable Parasite leeched on his body for nutrients.

If not that he instructed the Satan system to keep tabs on his body while he kept tabs on his surroundings, things would not have been so easy.

It was not that he was not strong enough, it was just that the adaptive features of creatures in this world were one of pure unbridled malice.

It was like Mother Nature decided to take a huge Dump shaped like a 'middle finger' in this world.

Strength in this world was not at all a guarantee for survival.

In fact, Lenny had seen some very strong creatures that made a fatal mistake and ended up in the stomach of a weaker creature.

Lenny had been to some very dangerous places in his life but nothing had ever beaten this one.

After all, the show of any kind of weakness here was the vulnerability another preying creature would take advantage of.

He had to learn how to use the strength of one creature to hurt the other, and how to take advantage of one creature's weakness to strengthen his own strengths.

This was why he used the Crusher floral to his advantage against the ants.

In fact, those ants had been on his case for days now. Ever since he killed some of them back when he just arrived, they seemed to always find him wherever he went.

Luckily, he had discovered this place by accident. Even the ants would not want to follow in between the Crusher Floral which was the only known means of getting to this place.

Finally, a place he could relax a little.

<Core formation in progress...>

Lenny spread his Perception ability like a radar to tell what was happening around him.

At the same time, he observed the flow of energy within his own body.

He observed as his blood and magic coagulated to form his core.

However, he quickly noticed that something was wrong. Or rather, something was not right.

According to Vine, the core was supposed to form in either the chest area or the brain.

And in extremely rare cases, other parts of the body. Nevertheless, the core was supposed to be formed within his body. Lenny had killed creatures and extracted their body parts.

He had taken cores and was sure of this fact.

However, Normality was not a tag that the Satan System could pride in. Naturally, this meant that he was different.

The core did not form in his body, but rather, in his soul. The soul was an existence that was in the body, but not a physically accessible existence.

One could not open the human body and find the soul, yet, it existed within. Basically, it was ethereal.

It was in this Ethereal form of a person did Lenny's core form.

It started out slowly, a very lengthy process of gathering energy. As it did, Lenny could feel himself become more in tune with his surroundings.

No! it was his surroundings becoming more in tune with his body.

He waved his fingers slightly in the air, and it was as if a new world had been opened to him.

normally, he could feel the wind on his skin, but now, it carried something else. Something more subtle, giving him the illusion that he could grab it, but like a fleeting dream, it flowed passed him.

As the core became more tangible in his soul, it became easier to feel this subtle energy that flowed like threads in the air.

Although he was still far from grabbing it and morphing it as he wanted, Lenny could sense the possibility of it.

And that was a very good feeling.

From Lenny's knowledge about the Deep level Demon realm that he had acquired from Vine, this energy he felt in the air was called Cosmic energy.

One needed to have a core to be able to sense the existence of Cosmic energy.

It was this energy that one needed to absorb to improve their core and therefore, their level.

It was said that cosmic energy was the true force that gave everything its existence.

This energy enveloped all.

The control of this energy was the force that made Deep Level Demons stand out from Lesser ranked Demons.

All of a sudden, certain things began to make a lot more sense in his head.

First was when Riff killed the giant Octopus. All he had done was...
