Chapter 148 To Get Rid Of One's Weakness To Win



<compulsory Task: Kill one hundred Devils with Hard shells. Please note that Deaths should only occur with Bare fists. No weapons allowed. Time range is one Hour>

Lenny had already brought out his weapons in a ready stance for a fight.

Ever since he came to this world, he had always used a weapon. 

Then again, he was an assassin. His weapon meant his life. 

The strength or capability of the weapon was always a determining factor for victory.

The Devils before him and the rest of his team were slight different from the devils they had seen before. For one, these devils were not so skinning. but that did not mean that they were fat either.

They were rather huge.

they looked as if they carried on their backs mighty tortoise shells. 

One look at these shells and one could tell that these devils had incredible defence.

Whether it was their abdomen, backs, or Groin region that was a major weakness for Devils, they were all well protected. 

The only weak point that Lenny could see were the Limbs and the head.

These things were still as ugly as the other devils and some of them were even far uglier.

Although he was not to use any weapon in this task, Lenny was not disheartened. 

After all, As an assassin, he knew that One's body itself was a weapon. 

The swords and Pincers he used were merely extensions of that weapon. 

"look over there!" A222 pointed to a door in the distance as her other hand felt the vibrations in the ground, "we must not fight! All we have to do is go through that door. I can feel what's happening in there. The other Gladiators are fighting the Mini Boss."

"hmmm!" A123 nodded, "But there are so many devils. How the fuck did the others by pass so many of them to reach the Mini Boss!?"

A222 closed her eyes as she sensed the area. "Over there!" she pointed at another corner. According to the shape of the foot prints I can sense that there went through that Path."

C888 nodded, "Yes! it is possible! That place looks too small for these Devils to follow. They must have used the cave to go around the devils in other to save strength for the Mini Boss."

A123 and A222 agreed. 

"then we should not waste too much time and get on with it! Even a Mini Boss would have really nice things that could help us increase our strength. If the others kill it first, they will get it!" A222 added.

A222, A123 and C888 turned to circum navigate around and follow the same Path. 

However, lenny did not move. 

"D999, are you coming along?" A123 asked.

Lenny chuckled a bit, "Don't worry! You guys go along. I have my REALLY NICE things here." 

As he spoke, he waved his hands and the Katanas he was holding went back into the storage unit.

"Are you sure about that?" A222 asked again.

She could not understand what Lenny was doing. 

After all, the goal was not to kill the minions in the dungeon but to kill the main boss. 

It was only logical to want to save one's strength for the daunting task ahead.

But Lenny insisted on going through the hard route.

Since it was so, they decided to leave him, and continue their advance.

meanwhile in the arena, the Audience watched as the gladiators reached the Mini Boss. Many were screaming and chanting in joy at the entertainment that the Gladiators brought them.

However, for a few, mostly the elites, their attention was somewhere else.

They were not carried away by the fights, but the capability of the individuals in the Tournament. 

And at the moment, only a very select few individuals had their attention.

One was a particular Gladiator that had been quite sneaky from the beginning of the fight.

At the moment, this gladiator was already half way through to the third level. That meant that he had by passed the Devils of the first and second levels. This included their boss on each Level.

Another was a gladiator that also went through the second class without fighting the First Mini boss. 

However, his case was far different from the first one that sneaked his way past.

This gladiator had walked brazenly through.

For him, the First Mini Boss had gone into hiding the moment it sensed the Gladiator's approach. 

The third person that the Arena masters and the members of the Governor's house had their eyes on, was lenny.

Again and again, his feat had opened their eyes.

It was almost as if their eyes were subconsciously drawn to always watch out for him. Others like Poison or tank would gather their attention for a while, but it was always very short. Even while Lenny was sleeping, their eyes were still on him.

Just like now, he had yet again made another puzzling decision. 

Instead of going through the easy route to face the Mini boss of the dungeon, he decided to fight the Minions.

But that was not all, they could see that he had done away with his weapons. 

"Is he planning to face the devils bare handed?" one Arena master asked subconsciously. Then again, this was the question on the minds of all of them.

one look at these devils and it was easy to tell that they were slow. 

In fact, it was safe to say that they had to be slow. After all, their size was just too much.

Lenny walked to the front of the devils. 

The moment they saw him, they also advanced towards him.

However, their steps as guessed, were quite slow.

Lenny waved his hands, and his legs snaked against the ground as he took a martial art stance.

He tightened his fists fiercely.

*Boom* He kicked against the ground as he attacked. 

His fist went straight for the head of the devil.

*Pow!*

Lenny was at the second rank of the lesser demon ranks. His punches were more effective that a sledge hammer on hot red steel.

It instantly turned the head of the devil into mush paste.

<1 kill>

However, by the time he went for the second head, it was too late. The Devil pulled it into its shell like a tortoise did when its life was threatened.

Then again, Lenny expected this. he went once more for another Devil, but it was no use. 

he looked around and they had hid their heads and many of them even their limbs. 

"Fuck it!" he cursed as he threw a punch right for the shell.

*DUM!*

it was like the beat of a drum. However, the beat from it sent him flying a good distance. It was as if he had hit rubber. But that was not all. 

The loud sound destabilized his hearing by affecting his coordination.

He had to bare through the pain it caused him, as he rushed once more for the devils.

*DUM! DUM!!*

"AHHH!!!" He Groaned in pain.

The echo that came from punching the hard shells of the Tortoise like devils traveled through his muscles, his veins, Causing them to tear slightly.

He could feel as if the sound waves was a mountain of ants that had just found sugar.

The echoes traveled through his body causing chaos within.

This was the first time Lenny was experiencing this. This was not a test of strength.

After all, he was of the second rank of the Lesser demon realm.

These were low ranked devils.

A punch from him was supposed to be able to turn them to mush. 

But it did not.

From the look of things, the bodies of these devils were made to be able to reflect attacks. 

Although not all the power was reflected, but it was significant enough to cause him damage. Also, if he continued, he was without a doubt going to tear up all his muscles.

lenny frowned hard. He had to find away to break through their defense. Fortunately, these things had next to nothing when it came to offensive power.

However, just as he thought about this, he felt the setting of danger from behind. 

Immediately, he turned about, instinctively bringing his fists in front of his face.

*Boom*

A strong hit sent him flying a distance. 

Lenny hit the wall hard.

"what the fuck!? that felt like a freaking Bus!"

*Cough!*

Lenny coughed up some blood.

He had underestimated these devils.

They could actually attack.

Just now, one of them had folded like a cannon ball and smacked him good.

Although it seemed like just one attack, it wasn't.

With characteristics that the shells of these devils had, it was a double whammy.

It was a hard hit, and yet, he still felt not just the pain of it, but also the echoes in his ears and the pain in his muscles.

Lenny wiped his mouth.

"Not bad! Since it has come to this, I will not hold back either."

Firstly, these things affected his coordination when he fought.

Secondly, the recoil in his veins and muscles was a pain in the ass.

For him to win, he had to first get rid of his own weakness.

Lenny stood to his feet.

He waved his hands and two little knives appeared.

He brought the knives to his ears and stabbed them in.

*PUS!*

like putting a hole in a tomato, his ear leaked blood.

Lenny had deafed himself.
