Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 955: Cain’s Revenge

Lenny could some what hear the happening outside, but neither his ears nor his mind was in any condition to listen to the commotion.

His body was literally burning from the inside out. he had only just advanced his soul into becoming a yellow soul. However, because of the poison, he could feel his soul alternating between colors green and yellow.

Obviously, the diamond fruit effects was still there, but the purple flames were fighting it. Coupled with the fact that the current Lenny had very little control on his Holy power, he could barely defend himself against the purple flames.

Kanada saw what was happening and decided to take drastic measures. She waved her hands, pulling together, fate strings from the ethereal, and then binding them together.

And then the bind they formed, she placed it on his chest. the aim for this was simple.

Kanada was a Chosen by Fate. This meant that she once drew her sustenance from it and had revelation to many mythical secrets.

However, she was not one like Lenny who could use the shadow runes. But that did not mean that she could not simulate it.

After weaving the Fate strings together and placing it on his chest, the fate rune shone brightly, and its threads spread across his body as if to envelop him.

However, Lenny’s soul glowed a bit. And then they was a loud sound like the shattering of glass. And the fate bind broke and disappeared.

Kanada frowned. Once more, she weaved fate strings. this time around, she placed two on his chest. however, the same thing occurred.

Her frown got deeper. What she was using was not normal runes. This meant that they did not bind like normal runes did.

However, fate was still the most powerful binding force in the world. The first Fate String seal she had used was able to bind the movement of a yellow level soul. But for Lenny’s it was like trying to tie down a monster using threads.

Until the Fate strings she weaved became six seals, strong enough to bind a red level soul, lenny was still restless.

Kanada sat on the ground in her exhaustion.

Cena suddenly made her way back into the room. She looked at the state Kanada was in and wondered whether she had engaged in battle with Lenny.

However, Kanada shook her head. "His soul was just too strong. It did not feel as if I was binding a soul, but rather, a state of mind that refused to be caged.

Even at the cost of his own death.

Cena looked at Lenny. He was passed out on the ground, similarly exhausted from the struggle.

Cena cracked a side smile, "so he is the real deal, is it he? When you fore told me of his arrival several years ago, I had thought you were bullshitting me. But here he is!"

Kanada nodded, "yes, I too had my doubts At the time. After all, the variables were too much, and there was only one in a ten thousand chance that he would follow the path I had predicted. We were lucky he did."

Cena suddenly frowned, and then she waved her hand and a long claw appeared. She placed it at lenny’s neck. "If I remember correctly, and I do, you also said that they was more than a seventy percent chance that he was going to rather join the royal Asmodeus family than help us achieve our goal."

Kanada nodded. "true! However, as things are, I doubt that will happen."

"But we do not know that for sure." she retorted. "you prophesized from your then link to the fates, that he would bring us the girl, and we can break free, and leave this dying Plane. We already have the girl. I say we kill him and find a way out by ourselves. I rather pick his death now, than risk our lives."

Even though she said this, her finger with the sharp long claw hesitated to move. Also, her hand, like any person that had ever caused a fight within the Pig market started to slowly swell, like bubbles of boiling water.

Kanada did not stop her, only shaking her head. "We both know that you can’t do that in this place. the rules of the pig market are absolute, not even you can disobey that. Besides, you still owe him for helping your youngest lady, remember?"

Cena sighed and retracted her claws. "I can’t do it here, but that does not mean that I cannot do it. Besides, i believe even the youngest Lady will understand and choose wisely between the lives of her tribe members and a Aid."

Kanada waved her hand, "lets not talk about that right now. That mess will not help any one. For now, we will put our faith in him, and see. After all, we still have the girl."

Her gaze turned to Lenny, "His soul and the poison at this point, are already one. Improving the quality of his soul is only feeding the poison. Unless we find a way out of this, he wont be able to increase his soul level and therefore not be able to regain his memories and in turn be of use to us." She sighed again, "and what of our unruly guests outside?"

"They have left. they went back in a hurry. Something about the Rebels attacking one of the citadels again." Cena explained.

"It would seem Cain is still hard at work." kanada shook her head. "Or maybe it is just his ego suffering from getting ambush, and in need of a pay back."

"Well, he is most desperate to get back home, and he believes bringing down the Royal Asmodeus Family is the only way. I would have joined him too if I did not need to look after the pig market. Those Royal fools look down on the rest of us too much!" She tightened her fist in anger. "If only we were still connected with the main family, all the disrespect would not be happening."

Both women sighed at one another. Their so called help was currently useless, and the useless one to their cause, was not doing well.

.....

At the moment, Cain led his band of rebels were causing confusion and chaos for the Royal demons.

Their attack was focused on a strategic point for which the royal demons stored food and ’Taxes’ taken from the People of the earth.

In truth, Cain would have not opted for this option. In his long life, he had learnt to be quite picky with his battles. So picky that it had ensured his victory at almost every turn.

But he had been a victim of an ambush not so long ago. An ambush that had been the result of Nana the Hunter taking up the bounty placed on his head.

After finding out that Lenny was linked to a god and possibly the avatar of one, Cain had opted for selling him for weapons and treasures. He even abandoned his preplanned notion of conquering a devil dungeon for this.

However, he had lost Lenny along the line because of the ambush, and as if that was not bad enough, he had also lost some of his men and resources in the fight against those in ambush.

If not for the fact that he was special in more ways than many could imagine, overcoming that ambush would have been impossible.

It was the catalyst that pushed his hand to make this move against one of the Asmodeus royal family’s Citadel.

The loss of Lenny, coupled with the loss of his men was the propelling force that pushed his hand.

After all, even attacking a ’useful’ devil dungeon and defending his rebel army would be too much for him at this point.

For these reasons, he implored a series of gorilla tactics to take this Citadel.

Firstly, he lured a significant amount of the Royal demon army out of the Citadel with the illusion that the rebel army was to give a full scale attack.

Meanwhile, he used only a hand full of Earthen Elves from his army at strategic points with with explosives in wait.

The natural terrain of this plane was hilly and rocky, and made for very good ambush. This was true for both sides, whether rebels or Royal demons.

Cain, being as cunny a human as he was, had used robes of Earthen elves held up by rocks and tree branches to simulate three different armies at different locations.

His aim was to pull the attention of the demon army into the open.

This was a beautiful plan with a beautiful end result, at least it was so in theory.

But would the aim be met?

this was a very important question. Especially because cain, in his carelessness and zeal for a payback had forgotten to pay important attention to the Citadel that he considered his prey.

After all, at the moment, Naamah, a sister of Eve and the head of the royal Asmodeus demons in this plane had made a visit to this exact Citadel...
