Chapter 795 The Surprising Collab
Lenny closed his eyes. All that however, would only be in his head, a dream that he would no longer achieve.
Even now, he could see it through the Satan system, Luca was dying as a result of loss of blood. If he did not give in now, the boy would join his mother in the afterlife.
Lenny gritted his teeth hard, as his mind convinced himself that he would find away. Anyway, he would do it. Lenny suddenly raised his head to Cuban, "Will you give me your word not to hurt him?" Cuban nodded, "I swear by purity of my royal bloodline!"
~Sanguis Foedus~
Cuban muttered the words for the blood pact and some of his blood from his body went into the air, forming the seal of a Rune. And then he raised a brow to Lenny, "now its your turn!"
Lenny paused for a bit, and his thoughts felt like a crowded place, but he eventually made up his mind.
~Sanguis Foedus~
Some of lenny's blood left his person to meet with Cuban's in the air.
the deal had been signed. Instantly, there was an echo of voices from the serpents in the air. "Weak! Weak!! Week!!! A weak disgrace! He doesn't deserve to wield us. He is weak!"
As the echoes went off in the air, Lenny made up his mind, and stopped the Living eye. Instantly, an overwhelming sense of fatigue rushed through his body. The Satan system had said that 90% of his stamina and strength had been moved to the display power of the Living Eye.
And now, that he had forcefully stopped the technique, he felt a sudden weakness all over.
Cuban on the other hand, let Luca go. Instantly, the boy rushed over to help Lenny stand. Even with one hand, he still had a caring look on his face. He embraced Lenny before lenny could touch the ground as a result of fatigue. "Why did you do that?" Luca asked. Lenny gave a weak smile, "because you are my..."
*SLUSH!*
A knife had stabbed into Lenny's body, right in the heart. This sudden turn of events made the world suddenly freeze. Slowly, Lenny looked below, and there it was. A very curvy knife had been stabbed into his body. A line of blood fell from the side of his mouth. "Luca!?" Lenny called out in obvious surprise. However, when he looked at Luca's face, all he saw was a marvelous Grin, looking back at him. And then in Luca's eyes, Lenny could see a slight glow. And maybe it was because of his own system, or because of how close they were at the moment, he heard an alert pop from Luca's body.
<Alert!>
<Criteria to unlock Curse System has been met>
<1. Betray one of love>
<2. Betray one of Blood>
<Curse System activated>
And then, within Luca's pupils, Lenny could see the image of that same rune he had seen that time he had entered the boy's mind. The Rune glowed a red light, and lenny felt curse energy from it. The same cursed energy that he felt from Anguis while wielding the weapon. This took him by surprise. With all the many questions that had suddenly popped up in Lenny's head, only one question actually took root.
"Why...?" Luca raised a brow like he was looking at a fool. Nevertheless, he replied, "I can tell you it is because you were never there, or because my mother gave her life for you. Or maybe because I want Allison for myself..." Luca gave a side smile, "But the truth is that," He leaned closer, "...Its because I can!"
Those words echoed in Lenny's head like loud booms. These were words of pure, unbridled arrogance. There were words with a distain for life, and even more than the pain that Lenny felt in his chest, they hurt even more.
But Luca was not done. "Because I can do it, I do it. I don't want to live a life in the fucking shadow of your LEGENDARY existence. And I'm sure fucking tired of Father Black and everyone else pushing down the stories of your achievements down my fucking throat.
I'm FUCKING tired of it." he chuckled a bit, "when I was little, I thought I had it all. After all, by birthright, the territory was mine, and I was loved, respected and revered. I worked my butt off, day and night for that place, and how do the fuckers thank me? The day you show up, the entire territory enters a freaking frenzy just to please you. The worse part of it all, is that..." Luca gritted his teeth harshly, "You took her from me. I saw her FIRST!!! but you took her from me.
But no more. Today, the Legacy of Lenny Tales ends here. I'll take it all. Take all you ever had, and I'll make it mine."
On saying this, he pulled Anguis from Lenny's grip and then he took several steps back.
The moment he did this, the serpents hissed, "worthy... he is worthy.... Prideful! He is Prideful! We acknowledge. We acknowledge!!!"
Cuban suddenly walked forward, standing beside Luca. he chuckled a bit, "see, I told you ripping a arm off will convince him!"
Luca rolled his eyes, "but did you really have to pull that hard? that still hurt you know?"
listening to their conversation, another realization hit Lenny. Luca and Cuban were in cohorts, and he had just been played. Cuban suddenly walked towards lenny. Grabbing him by the jaw, he lifted him up to face level, "give me the Invitation stone!"
He ordered.
And then it happened. Lenny discovered that his hand moved on his own. He tried to stop it, but it was no use. His hand moved and then the Invitation stone appeared from the Satan System. Cuban chuckled as he took it from Lenny's grip. Lenny was surprised as to what was happening, and Cuban could clearly see that surprise in his eyes. He chuckled, "I can see that you do not understand what is going on... But don't worry, since you are meeting your end, I shall enlighten you!"
