Chapter 806 Master Of Anguis

Chapter 806  Master Of Anguis

"It is you! You three, that need to seek worthiness from me!" With this declaration, Lenny not only rejected the serpents' judgment but placed himself above them, demanding their recognition of his superiority. This was not a plea for validation but a demand for acknowledgment from beings who had, until this moment, seen themselves as the ultimate judges of worthiness.

As he unleashed his killing intent anew, this time laced with rage and pride, the atmosphere around them thickened, charged with the palpable tension of a monumental confrontation. The killing intent, a tangible manifestation of Lenny's resolve and power, enveloped the serpents, challenging them to reconsider their place in the presence of a force that refused to be dominated or defined by their standards.

The serpents, confronted with Lenny's unbridled power and unwavering self-assurance, found themselves at an impasse. This confrontation was no longer about the trial they had imposed but about recognizing the force of nature that Lenny represented. In the wake of his confrontation with the serpents, Lenny experienced a moment of profound clarity, akin to the unveiling of a hidden truth that had long eluded him. Amongst the myriad lessons and trials he had endured, there was an ancient wisdom that resonated deeply with his current predicament, a saying that spoke of the unique desires that drive every soul: "Every man's currency is unique to that man." This insight illuminated the path forward, revealing that the key to mastering the serpents—and indeed, any challenge—lay in understanding the true nature of desire. For some, it might be wealth, for others peace, or the unquenchable thirst for power. Yet, for Lenny, his recent ordeal had crystallized the realization that the currency Anguis, the Holy corrupted tool, responded to was none other than 'PRIDE' itself. This revelation was not minor; it was the echo of the very sin that had led to the downfall of the brightest among the heavens, the original transgression that had sown the seeds of discord and rebellion. To command the serpents, entities of immense power and ancient origin, one had to embody pride not just as a trait but as a principle. They themselves were beings of formidable strength, yet it was clear that only a master of true pride could reign them in, could bend their wills to his own.

This display was not mere bravado; it was the outward expression of a deep-seated belief in his own worth, a conviction that the world, indeed, should recognize and bow to his prowess. Thus, with a newfound determination, Lenny embraced this understanding fully. As he ascended, levitating with an aura of command, he summoned forth a whip of white flames, a manifestation of his will and a testament to his dominion. With authority, he lashed at the serpents, his voice thundering across the sands, "How dare you! You have no respect for 'I'. The great and masterful Lenny. Lie on the earth and grovel at my greatness!" This display was not mere bravado; it was the outward expression of a deep-seated belief in his own worth, a conviction that the world, indeed, should recognize and bow to his prowess. And so, the serpents, sensing the depth of his pride and the unyielding strength of his spirit, complied. They laid themselves low upon the cold, dark earth, their voices rising in a chorus of acknowledgment, "WORTHY! WORTHY!! WORTHY!!!" From Anguis, runes of power, three in number, emerged like a stream of consciousness, seeking out Lenny and embedding themselves within his soul. This act was not just symbolic but transformative, forging a connection so profound that Lenny could hear their individual thoughts, could command them with but a whisper. In that moment, Lenny was anointed master of Anguis, the Holy Tool, his mastery affirmed not by submission but by recognition of his unmatched pride and will to dominate. This was not just a victory; it was an ascension, a moment of epic revelation that underscored Lenny's journey from mortal to master, from seeker to sovereign over the serpents of this Corrupted Holy Weapon.

With the serpents' allegiance now firmly secured, Lenny's interaction with them took on a new, more harmonious dimension. As he approached them, the gesture of patting their heads was met with a response that bore the warmth and eagerness of creatures yearning for the approval and affection of their master. They coiled around him affectionately, reminiscent of loyal puppies seeking the attention of their owner, a sight that would seem almost incongruous to anyone aware of their true nature and the power they wielded. Lenny, acknowledging this newfound bond, knew it was time to advance to the next phase of his plan.

"Kill! Guard me. I want to meditate," Lenny commanded, his voice carrying the weight of authority and expectation. The serpent named Kill, embodying the essence of protection and obedience, immediately assumed a defensive stance around Lenny, ensuring a safe perimeter for his meditation. This act of trust and delegation showcased the depth of understanding and command Lenny now held over these formidable beings.

Positioning himself on the ground, Lenny adopted a posture of meditation, his physical form a testament to the strength and discipline that defined him.

 As he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a physique that was both aesthetically pleasing and indicative of his readiness for the trials ahead, he called upon another serpent, "Devour, come with me!" This command was not a summon to battle but an invitation to merge, to join him in a journey inward.

Devour, understanding its master's intent, transformed into a whirlwind of energy before plunging into Lenny, merging with him in a spectacle of light and power. This convergence was not just a physical union but a spiritual one, where serpent and master ventured together into the depths of Lenny's soul.

As the light enveloped them, Lenny's consciousness transcended the physical realm, delving into the vast expanse of his soul. This inner sanctum, a realm within himself, was where the true work would begin, a place of power, reflection, and transformation. Here, in the sanctity of his soul, Lenny prepared to confront the poison that lay within, to harness the power of Devour, and to emerge from this meditation not just as a master of serpents but as a being of enhanced power and insight. The journey inward was a crucial step, a necessary descent into the depths of his being to ascend anew, fortified and ready for the challenges that awaited him....
