Chapter 40 Chimera Ants...
The Gladiator Lady could not believe what she had just heard.
It was common knowledge that Gladiators start unlocking powers that they get from their demon parents at around Class D and C. But that did not mean that those of the lower class did not have the means to also do such.
It was like expecting puberty to start by the age of thirteen but that did not mean there were no exceptions.
many people started at twelve or even earlier. For example, E7007 had the ability of PRESENCE. This made him very Charismatic. His ability might look like a cheap one, but as it stood, he was already using it incredibly.
Any member of his Nameless crew would willingly give their lives for him.
Lenny knew that if he had a bigger audience, he would still be able to move them as such. It was not hard to imagine what he could do with an army.
Such an ability would be devastating in a war.
E7007 alone could be the driving force that could move men to give their all for victory.
There were also other abilities like that of E4004 that could tell the ORIGINS of organisms and E666 that could seduce men and make them fall under her spell.
All these abilities were great in their own right and should not be looked down upon. However, E7007 was claiming that Lenny had the ability to negate it all.
Of course, his claim was strictly on Mental abilities, but that too was very incredible.
This meant that Lenny could negate the Mental abilities of those in this room.
"Are you sure of this?" She asked again.
"Yes! I'm sure of it. I have tried with mine, and I also have witnesses that have tried theirs. But it all ended the same."
"Witnesses!?"
E7007 could only see her eyes, and not her facial features, but he could tell that she just raised a brow at him.
"Yes!" E7007 nodded again as he waved his hand.
E4004 stepped forward. She was the leader of the Cowheadsnd the person that had used the ability ORIGINS on Lenny earlier on.
"It's true my ability also did not work on him."
"Same with mine!" another person stepped forward.
Lenny frowned. That voice. He remembered it. That was the voice of E666. She was the person that first attempted to use her ability on him.
Lenny had thought that only the ones that had come with him were aware of this meeting.
Also, if he was not mistaken, he saw her getting it from behind from a male gladiator.
He suddenly remembered the words of the Cowhead woman in charge of protecting E4004's territory.
She had said that the others had gone.
No doubt, E666 was one of the others that were aware of this meeting.
Now that Lenny thought of it, he did not see why not. After all, E666 was one desperate enough for survival that she sacrificed another gladiator to save her own skin.
With this amount of witnesses, it was clear that E7007's words were true.
The Female Gladiator Hosting the event suddenly looked in Lenny's direction.
By her neck, Lenny finally saw her Tag. It was A222.
Lenny suddenly had an ominous feeling, and he instinctively took a step back.
However, a few Gladiators behind him covered his exit.
Lenny could feel that trouble was coming.
Negate abilities? such bullshit!.
That was not in any way his ability. It was just a defensive reaction of the Satan system that was given to him by Lucifer.
But that was not something he could say. The reasons for that, were just too many to list.
A222 finally got to him. "So you can negate abilities!?"
Lenny shook his head slightly.
E7007 frowned. Lenny was denying it.
"I suggest you test it out," E7007 suggested bluntly. "After all, he might not even know he has it!"
She nodded at E7007's words. Then again, she already planned for this.
"Bring him!" she ordered, and Lenny suddenly felt as two Gladiators took him by his arms. He wanted to struggle, but he felt as if he was being held in place by heavy rocks on each side.
he was brought to the presence of the person sitting on the Glowing Mushroom. The same person known as the Order Master.
Lenny didn't want to but he was forced to his knees.
With the two Gladiators on each side to push him down, he felt like he had boulders on his back.
He was starting to feel the brunt of not being strong enough.
Even though he was already Level 2, he was still not strong enough. The Gladiators that held him down were both of the D class.
The Order Master stood up from his glowing Mushroom seat.
The Gladiator guards about him dug their fingers into the ground and lifted the Mushroom Altar and the Huge stone it grew from.
They shifted it to the side, revealing a deep hole in the ground. It was at least Thirty feet deep. It was also very wide. Apparently, this led to another Cavern.
Except that this one was governed by insects.
Lenny was brought Close to this hole in the ground.
From the Hole, he could hear the Chirping and Chittering of insects.
Wait a minute! INSECTS!?
The Order Master plucked some brightly shining Mushrooms and threw them into the Hole.
The sight that met Lenny's eyes was something he had never seen before.
These were practically giant Ants, Crickets and even cockroaches. They were the size of Full-grown tortoises. But it was not just their size that was terrifying. But also their Characteristics.
For example, the Ants had long Mandibles that looked as Sharp as Hack saws.
In fact, Lenny saw as one Ant used its Mandibles to crush a very strong and sturdy rock.
However, the moment the Glowing mushroom was thrown into the Hole, the insects all moved away from it.
The Order Master threw in some more, and then he nodded to one of the Gladiators by his side.
The Gladiator nodded. He knew what to do.
