Chapter 812 Ella The Ingredient

812 Ella The Ingredient

Lenny, with a decisive gesture, conjured a portal, stepping into it with a sense of purpose that was mirrored by Athena and Minnie's swift follow-through. Their destination was a realm within the Nether, a place where creatures bound by blood contracts to humans resided—a domain of dark deals and deeper despairs.

Lenny's mission was clear: to find a creature that could facilitate their return to the eighth earth, a feat he had accomplished once before through the exploitation of a Nether creature's teleportation ability.

However, the landscape of the Nether had shifted, or perhaps Lenny's recollections were clouded by the tumultuous events that had followed. The creature he sought, the key to their passage back to reality, eluded him. Back then, finding a nether creature back to the eighth earth was actually very easy. But now, things were different for some reason.

Obviously, the times were different.

It was Minnie who stepped forward with a solution, her confidence undiminished by the uncertainty of their situation. "Don't worry, I can handle it! We can go with anyone," she declared, approaching a creature that bore the skeletal semblance of a prehistoric predator of the skies.

With a whispered command, Lenny sent the heart flying back to Minnie, embedding it within her once more. His warning was clear, "If you ever have the thought to betray me, even if it is a little, or to try and break this contract, you will die!" This was not merely a pact but a safeguard, ensuring Minnie's loyalty was irrevocably tied to her very survival.

Minnie, her vitality restored with her heart's return, acknowledged the weight of Lenny's terms, her agreement signaling a new phase in their alliance. Yet, as Lenny prepared to confront Ella, considering her a loose end best eliminated, Minnie intervened with a proposition that highlighted her strategic value. And then Lenny turned to Ella. His killing intent had put so much fear in her that she had still not gotten herself together. Lenny waved his hand, and a white fireball appeared. His aim was to kill her once and for all. But Minnie immediately stepped forward. "Master, if I may, this half-angel, Ella, is still of incredible use!"

Lenny paused and raised a brow at her. Minnie stepped forward and continued, "You will soon head up to Judas, the wandering city. Half-angels can serve as a wonderous ingredient for a spell you will need." Lenny heard this, and frowned, "I can handle Broness Everbee and Cuban on my own!" Lenny's initial resolve, fueled by confidence in his own capabilities against known adversaries.

However, Minnie shook her head, "I am not talking of them. I am talking of the angel imprisoned in that place. The Angel called Uriel. He is a far more dangerous opponent than those two..."
