Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 518 First use of Shadow Runes

Chapter 518 First use of Shadow Runes

The land shook, rumbling like it was going to split in two. It was as if a hundred drums were beating at the same time in a terrible symphony.

However, it was only the brawl between Lenny and the projection of Riff within the training area of the Satan system.

Lenny waved his hands, and his fingers danced in the air with speed and precision like the fingers of a Pianist.

All of a sudden, a red rune appeared from thin air and rushed like a blade for Riff.

Before it got to him, it had already turned into a large ball of red flames.

Riff dodged it as he dived to the side. With a wave of his hand, the earth opened and a thousand blades rushed forth like a tsunami.

lenny instantly waved his hands again as two brown runes appeared. These runes were for Earth, forming a shield about him.

Riff rushed over with a palm strike for the dome that protected Lenny, striking it like a blade. the dome instantly split like tofu.

*SLASH!*

Unfortunately, Lenny was not in it. He had disappeared.

Riff looked around, his sharp eyes sensing his environment for the possibility of Lenny raising his head.

However, Lenny was nowhere to be found. Just When the battlefield seemed to calm into silence, a blade suddenly appeared from within the shadows on the ground.

These blades were black like the night, long, sharp, and looked like icicles.

Riff instantly dodged the attacks and some of them even disintegrated before they reached him, unable to hold their form for long.

Riff waved his hands.

The cosmic energy in the air seemed to rouse at his command and Lenny, hiding within the earth, was forcefully pulled out like a hawk diving for fish in water.

Without giving lenny the opportunity to act, Riff waved his fingers and the cosmic energy in the air suddenly became a million blades.

All of which assaulted Lenny, turning him into the victim of a porcupine.

These blades were as long as swords and turned him into the after special of a barbecue dinner.

Instantly, the system kicked him out of the Training ground.

lenny fell on the ground, panting heavily.

He could not help but feel the need to sleep a little.

"Satan system! How long was the last battle?"

<The Last battle was 6.23 seconds>

<congratulations Host. That was an improvement from the previous match of 5.23 seconds>

Lenny nodded. However, he knew that it was not enough. The only reason that the match lasted an extra second was because of the fact that he had hidden in the ground.

If not, he would have lost immediately.

"Satan System, Bring up the footage of the last match."

Instantly, a screen appeared before his eyes, showing him the entire six seconds of the video.

lenny closed his eyes to ponder the entire match.

Truth be told, there was already significant improvement in his control of Runes. At least, the cast time was no longer as difficult as it used to be.

Secondly, he did not need raw materials to carve out the runes as he needed to do initially.

This was all thanks to his Continuous Training. His stats had improved a bit. The pressure from fighting a Dummy version of Riff in the 3rd Deep Demon rank was the push for his growth.

The first time he had battled, all he saw was Riff coming at him and the fight immediately ended.

Since then, he had battled over three hundred times to be able to last 6 seconds in the battle.

With his increase in Stats came an increase in his control of Cosmic energy, allowing him to carve runes with the cosmic energy in the air.

Although he was still greatly lacking in this, he was really trying his best.

lenny did not want a situation where he could not fully use the advantages he had in a fight and that was why he trained this as hard as he could.

However, that last attack he gave was proof that he still had miles to go.

Those were shadow spikes crafted from runes.

These were far more difficult to craft and he could not make them out of thin air using Cosmic energy. Then again, they were not Basic runes. And he had only discovered them by mistake.

A better description would be that he mistakenly made it in an error in his study of runes.

Yes, he accidentally made a wrong curve by a small angle and instantly, it was a different kind of rune. Runes were just that delicate in their make.

Lenny had to remove them from the mutated animal skin he had drawn the runes on and this was what made him an entire second late hiding within the earth.

Although a second might not seem like much, on the battlefield of life and death, it was more than enough. In fact, it could either decide the take in of the next breath or the end of it.

Anybody who had ever engaged in battle knew that battle time was far different from real-time, and the tension that came with it was even worse.

Another thing was the fact that he could not display his Assassin skills to the fullest.

The reason was that he could not come close to the target.

At the moment, his magic was still locked and he could not give swift-range attacks like he normally would. He had no choice but to solely depend on his Assassin skills and brute force.

However, Riff had a much better control of Cosmic energy than him. And this formed a shield about his body.

A shield that allowed any attacks close enough to trigger an attack.

lenny lay on the ground as his mind calculated ways for him to solve this problem.

"maybe I should craft some runes on a sniper and attack from a far range!" He thought to himself. At this moment, they was suddenly a monumental roar that shook the very earth and sky.

Immediately all of the hair on Lenny's body stood up in terror...
