Chapter 803 The Gate Again
As Ella's rage crystallized into action, her grip on Lenny's hair was not just a physical assertion of power but a prelude to a punishment that promised to transcend the ordinary torments of the Nether realm. Athena heard that hum from the portal and knew where Ella was taking him to. "No!" she muttered, "don't do it! Ella, he will never be able to get out!"
The castle, responsive to her fury, began a grotesque transformation. Bones and skeletal remains, elements of its macabre architecture, shifted and writhed as if alive, coalescing into a form that was as horrifying as it was mesmerizing—a portal.
"That's the point!" Ella muttered as she continually pulled him along.
This portal was no simple doorway but a maw of darkness framed by the bones of countless lost souls. It pulsed with an eerie light, casting shadows that seemed to dance with malevolent glee. The very air around it throbbed with a palpable malice, a foreboding sense that this passage was a bridge between locations.
Lenny's reaction to this sudden shift from captor to victim on the threshold of a known fate was a complex tapestry of emotions. Annoyance flared within him, not just at the indignity of being manhandled but at the predictability of his situation. After all, he knew what was going to happen already. Right now, he was riding on the wisdom of King Solomon.
Guarding this monolithic gateway were two angels of immense stature, their presence an awe-inspiring blend of majesty and terror. Unlike any beings Lenny had encountered before, these angels were adorned with gray skin, a hue reminiscent of the night sky just before the fall of total darkness. Their size was such that their smallest digit dwarfed the largest of mortal constructions, a visual reminder of the scale and power that governed the Gate to the Nether realm. The angels stood as silent sentinels, their gaze fixed on the expanse before them, an eternal vigil over the gate they were bound to protect.
Once more, lenny looked on and he laughed loudly. His reaction to all that happened around him made Ella wonder if he was turning mad.
Ella looked at him in surprise. but she still gave a side smile, "Let's see you laugh when i come back for you in another hundred years!"
Meanwhile, at the same time, lenny's eyes searched for Minnie. Just up ahead, he found her. He nodded "Found you cutie!" Ella raised a brow at him. It felt as if he was hitting at her. She snickered, "your praise for my beauty won't get you out of this one Lenny!"
She grabbed him by the shoulder and was about to throw him into the red sands. "I'll talk. The secret to unravelling the Shadow runes, I will talk!"
Those words made her pause, and she turned to him. In her eyes, Lenny could see her anticipation. This really sick woman wanted to know. Lenny turned to her, "before that, there is something I'll like to show you. Earlier on, you released your killing intent. That was a nice breeze. Let me show you mine..."
