Chapter 924: A Gathering of Voidlings
This was a grueling process. It was far more difficult than any portal he had ever been through.
But he had to do it either way. For lenny, it was like swimming through a river of thick cheese, every wave of it, pushing him back, but he activated his magic to persistently advance forward.
Lenny was like a Blade tearing through it all.
this could not be helped as it was the first time that a portal between the two regions was created.
To make matters worse, it was not a double end portal.
For this reason, Lenny was not only tearing through space and time to get to his destination, but he was also trying to tear through the Void and Cosmic law surrounding the Plane.
This was not an easy process, as Lenny was not yet capable of sensing Laws. He was just roughing his way through.
And then came the first obstacle. Lenny was pushing forward, and then he suddenly felt a vague presence looking at him through the Void of Time and Space.
It was the same look that a predator would give a prey.
"Shit!" he cursed, as he instinctively dodged the first dive for his head. However, this creature, made of light, moved so fast that Lenny’s eyes could only barely see its silhouette.
"A creature of the void!"
In the last days that lenny had been amassing knowledge, he had read extensively about these creatures.
After all, he had once upon a time had an unfavorable experience with them. However, the void then was slightly different from this one.
The void then was made out of a witch’s desperate attempt at sending him to her territory. Although that did not end well as he fell into the nether, it was far more secured than this place.
After all, that was a secured passage. The same passage she had used to transport the entire people of the City of Milk and Honey.
The Creatures Lenny met in the void at that time were lost souls with no where else to go, attracted by both the invitation stones and his presence.
They were nothing compared to this creature that now had its eyes on Lenny.
After all, this Creature of the void was like fish in water in the river of space and time.
The general name for creatures of the void was Voidlings.
It was like how it was easy to refer to every thing that swarm in an ocean as fish. But even amongst fishes, they were sharks and so on.
This particular creature was such a thing. it was a Void Scavenger.
Its figure, made of light could easily fool anyone to think that it was a beautiful creature, but just like a pretty but poisonous Jellyfish, this creature was made fir one thing and one thing only. And that was to deliver death.
Void Scavenger as the name suggested, fed on any and everything. In fact, they even fed on their own kind if the opportunity allowed it.
They had the appearance of stingrays, but where as transparent as jelly fish.
They also had whips that extended out like long rows of teeth hanging in the air. According to what lenny knew of them, those rows of teeth were anything but normal.
It was their method of feeding. They practically erased any and everything they touched. This meant that even lenny’s soul could be eaten if care was not taken.
Lenny had dodged the first attack that had come for him. But he knew that this creature was not going to stop.
Now that it had found prey, it would continue to hunt until it fed.
Although Lenny had guessed that it was a possibility that he would meet this kind of a creature, he did not expect it to be this early. After all, Space and time was a really big ’Ocean’. It was not like he intentionally wandered in waters that had these things in them.
Once more, it dived for him.
Lenny dodged the attack once more. However, he quickly noticed something. This one was not the same thing as the last one.
Lenny frowned tightly as a thought crossed his mind. "Fuck! Me and my luck."
Seeing one Void Scavenger was one thing. Seeing another was another all together. it could only mean one thing.
There was a swarm near by. All the while, since he entered into the portal, he had only used his magic to push through the paste like void to get to Purgatory.
He did not believe that he had used that much magic that would attract such beasts. He could only blame his bad luck for coming across them.
What lenny did not know was that back at the Eighth earth, Menel had activated a rune on the portal that was specifically attracting these creatures to Lenny.
Menel gave a side smirk, "you are the reason my masters are still in their prison. They would have come into this world and made the earth a better place, but you held them back. Lenny Tales, feel the wrath of the Laviathan Royal family!"
Menel waved his fingers in a precise manner and then two more runes changed shape.
Lenny was still trying to deal with the two that had come for him when he saw another creature. This one was unlike the Void scavenger.
It was much larger and had the innocent look of a baby cat. But on seeing its approach, Lenny instantly activated his flames shooting spears of white flames at the beast.
His flames were effective, but there also pissed off the beast, and its head opened up to reveal rows and rows of fangs.
Lenny weaved to the side, dodging, but the chain that connected him back to the eighth earth was snapped.
Also, the beast missed him but managed to bite into one of the Void scavenger’s that was after him.
Instantly devouring the creature.
Lenny’s frown deepened. This was the void of space and time. Unless he was strong enough to comprehend laws, his Great demon status was useless here.
The beast that looked like a giant cat was an Obscuras. These beasts were not normal. In that they took the form of whatever their intelligent prey thought was adorable.
Yes, they were creatures of no true shape or form.
They imprinted on their prey in this manner so as to attract the prey. But Lenny was not one to be so foolish as to see a giant baby cat in the void and consider petting it.
Then again, that was not going to help his case. The Obscuras had already imprinted on him. He was the marked dinner.
"First Void Scavenger’s and then an Obscuras? Something is not right." Lenny was tempted to go back to the eighth earth. This voyage had suddenly become too dangerous.
These two creatures were not of the same specie. In fact, they did not in any way roll together, and yet both had appeared at the same time.
Lenny was beginning to think that the coincidence was a little too much.
He looked at the other end of the rope that led to the Eighth earth. It was slowly getting further away.
Meanwhile, back at the Eighth Earth. Clawed, who had been paying close attention suddenly noticed that the rope had suddenly slacked. And according to his calculations, Lenny was still a significant distance from Purgatory.
At best, he was only half way there.
But before he could react, Morgana did, "Something is wrong!" she spoke up as she rushed for the Portal.
"Don’t go in there! we do not have enough power to carry another person. If You do, the road will be broken and he would die!"
Those words made her stop in her steps.
However, she pulled against the Rope. Morgana was not aware that Lenny was trying to go back, and just when he had tried to reach the rope was when she had pulled it.
"No! Lenny!!!" she panicked as she wanted to rush in, but Victor, being the strongest immediately dove for her, pinning her down.
At the same time, Menel no longer hid himself. He laughed heartily as he stepped out, drawing the attention of all in the room to him.
"Yes! Lenny Tales and all that stood in the way of the Royal Laviathan family should DIE!"
On Saying this, he waved his hands and all of a sudden, all the runes on the portal started to flip, changing colors to that of red.
It was like a virus that was swiftly taking over a computer system, corrupting all the other files.
This made Clawed panic and he rushed to the portal. Father Black and the others also panicked.
Crusher on the other hand, had other ideas. He rushed over and his hands gave a low white glow as he brought down his fist to SAMASH Menel.
After all, this was the cause of the problem.
However, Menel’s eyes suddenly changed color, and so did his form. He caught Crusher’s punch.
"HAHAHAHA!!!" Menel laughed. It was deep and menacing, "Your Grudge is delicious..."
What do you think?
