Lenny stepped forward. This language was not foreign to his ears.
After all, it was only French. However, to this gladiators that had never left the Arena all their lives, it was easy to believe that she was saying gibberish.
This Forest was said to appear at different parts of the world.
It was truly not surprising that the first person that they met in this place spoke a different language.
Lenny was not so trusting of this new person.
However as he stepped forward, Athena turned to him.
She gave him that same look she had given him after realizing that he used Babies as bombs.
Lenny sighed at this.
However, as he stepped forward again, she grabbed him by the shoulder and whispered, "innocent!"
He gave a shallow nod.
It was not that he was interested in her point of view.
It was just that since he was traveling with them, and they could still be useful, he did not mind taking it easy.
At least for this moment.
"je suis Lenny Tales et voici mes compagnons. Nous ne te ferons pas de mal. Parlez-vous la langue commune?"
As Lenny spoke, he approached her steadily.
Lenny had said, "I am Lenny Tales and these are my companions. We will not hurt you. Do you speak the common tongue."
He had waved away his weapons back into the storage to show his friendliness.
However two things suddenly happened at the same time.
Both of which made him regret his decision to agree with Athena.
The first was an alert from the system.
<Compulsory Task>
<You have entered a Witches Lair: Slaughter the Witch Ciri to see an increase in all Stats>
Lenny looked at the little girl and raised a brow at this.
But it was too late.
Her voice was like that of an old man, Bass and echoing. It was like multiple people were talking from her throat.
"Oh! I speak the common tongue Holy one! Also, it is I who will hurt you."
A Blast of Negative magic blasted at Lenny.
It was sharp and like nothing he had ever felt before.
It was so bad that the System immediately went into red alert, as the negative Magic penetrated into his body.
The blast forced him out of the cave.
Unfortunately, Athena was behind him at the time.
The negative Magic blasted Lenny and Athena out at the same time, leaving Crusher, Perseus and Crusher.
However, it was too late.
The moment they were sent out of the cave, the cave instantly shut close.
Then the Mountain acted like the cottage had.
It was as if matter broke from its very foundations and formed again as the mountain suddenly increased distance between them.
As it did, echoes of the witches loud laughter could be heard.
In a matter of few seconds, it was totally gone all that was before them was a desert.
Lenny crouched on the ground in the sudden pain of Negative magic rushed through his body.
pandasnovel.com Without a loud groan, he immediately activated his White flame.
It rushed about his body to attack the negative Magic.
Surprisingly, this blast of negative Magic was very strong.
It was eventually burnt off, and as expected, his body actually absorbed a part of it.
<+1 magic points>
Athena on the other hand, now had a dislocated shoulder.
Lenny stood slowly to his feet.
He raised his head up only to see the monsters that they had just escaped from.
He sighed as he brandished his weapons for a fight.
He turned to Athena struggling on the ground and hissed at his decision to have approached the little girl the easy way.
"Innocence my FUCKING Ass!"
Lenny waved his hands as he was ready to enter the frail with the monsters.
However he realized that they was a better way to unleash his anger.
He stretched his and lest it lose.
*Fireball!*
Fire ball was expensive on his magic points.
However, he really couldn't give two cares at the moment.
He stretched his hand as he laughed fire ball after fire ball at the monsters.
This was an all out pouring of his anger.
As he did, his magic points fell rapidly.
He only stopped when Fire ball had dropped to an all time low.
<Magic points 220/2400>
The only reason he still had points was because killing the negative beasts still added to his points.
When he was done, they was nothing left but white flames. Not even the little shrubs that had littered the place.
Lenny turned.
He took one look at Athena, and then he turned and walked away.
"Lenny! Lenny!! Please don't leave me here."
She struggled to her feet with her broken arm, trying to follow after him.
However, she fell again and again to the ground.
Lenny did not turn about and walked away.
He had realized something. It was something he did not notice before.
However, he did now. These people were holding him back, and even worse, crowding his judgement.
He was never good in a team, and apparently, that had not changed.
But the truly infuriating part was that he was right in front of the witch and had not moved quick enough.
If his blades were out and he had threatened her like he wanted to initially, this would not have happened.
At least the second the System warned him, he would have acted.
Her screams echoed behind him.
However he did not look back.
The only reason he had not even killed her was because of past favors.
This was as merciful as he could get.
Hours past and a little further and then a hill appeared before his eyes.
It took a little over another three hours before he arrived at it.
With a wave of his sword, he carved out a hole in it.
This was where he was going to spend the night.
Lenny got into the cave and sat in a lotus position.
It had come to his observation that he needed to reprioritize his goals and to do that, he needed to first punish himself for his stupidity so far...
