Chapter 539 What is My True Demon rank?

Lenny strolled over to him. 

"I only just came back, and with the eagerness, I saw in you coupled with the confidence you displayed in your speeches. I was fairly confident that you would thrill me," Lenny shook his head, "But I see that I thought too much of you," he sighed, "You could not even use your common sense in battle. It really baffles me how you have survived this long. Honestly, If I were you, I would have sorted ways to just end my miserable existence."

"Ho...How!?" Vice gritted his teeth as he asked in surprise, blood already leaking out of his orifices. Evidently, those words had been said with extreme difficulty. 

"What do you by that?" Lenny raised a brow at him. "To tell the truth, it was all too easy. 

Firstly, I let you do what you wanted to because you told me that you were a System user. Yes, a big part of it was all curiosity. I really wanted to know. And I must say, your abilities are not bad. but a bit lacking in certain areas. In my hands, I could help get rid of some of the weak points."

From the very beginning, Lenny had been pulling Vice in. 

The moment he had seen his ability WILL gray out, Lenny instantly became fascinated with how Vice was going to use the Skill. 

However, a skill like WILL was not just acquired as a result of the Satan System, but rather, it was as a result of incredible Mental training and focus. 

It was the straining of his mind past the point of casual distraction from his environment to connect with the cosmos itself that helped create the perfect formulae that were his delivered FOCUS.

This was also an experience that he mostly acquired in his previous life after undergoing rigorous training, literally running mad a couple of times.

There was no way in Heaven or in Hell could a person like Vice accomplish such. Besides, there was also a vast amount of Stamina and strength points that were required to pull it off.

Lenny pulling off such a skill was already strenuous for him. It was without a doubt that the weight of the skill would be twenty times more Strenuous on Vice. This meant that although he stole the ability temporarily, it was more of a bother, and he wanted to show off just to destabilize Lenny's focus and confidence in the fight.

However, Lenny's confidence did not lie in the skills he had acquired from the System but in the kind of Man that he was at his core.

Such tactics to destabilize the mind by taking his skills might have worked for a lot of people, but Lenny Tales was not on that list.

Secondly, Lenny instantly noticed that the skills that Vice stole, were all skills that he had acquired either from consumption or he had acquired them from from practicing a technique. 

Skills such as those that had to do with his White flame or Influencer that could temporarily command people were not touched. 

This proved that the Greed System could not copy a core ability that once belonged to Lucifer Morningstar.

According to Vandora, Gods and Demon gods used systems as a method to pass on their own power to their servants. 

The Greed System was good, but it was proof that one God could not just use the power in the domain of another god. 

Vice had said that his system was beyond Lenny's own in level because Lenny never gave back to the system. This might have been true, but it still did not make up for the lack of quality when It came to power.

Thirdly, Vice had been too cocky while stealing Lenny's powers that he had not thought of a lot of possibilities. 

Lenny had never had a fight where he did not observe his enemies much closely. 

As an assassin, taking advantage of even a pebble on the ground could lead to sure victory or sure death. Nothing was absolute until declared absolute. 

As the saying went in his former world: Assumption was the mother of Fuck ups!

Vice assumed that he had won, leaving huge gaps in his fighting style.

For example, Lenny quickly noticed that Vice never used the Abilities stolen simultaneously. It was always one and then the other.

Lenny also noticed that while one ability was grayed out, the other that was stolen suddenly became available. 

There was the ability that the Greed System granted Vice, that allowed him to take in blood, therefore taking in another's ability.

This was a very good ability. Except that Lenny had an ability that let him control his cells. Even those that had left his body could be controlled for a period of time. 

This naturally included all the blood that Vice had been drinking and bathing in. 

Lastly, Lenny noticed that when Vice touched the ground, declaring the icy ground to be his, it was only in a very limited location. 

Victor had been staying not so far away but he had not been affected by the intense gravity. 

Lenny further proved his theory by allowing Vice to smack him around. Anytime he was smacked too far away, he would feel the gravity lessen, but then Vice would suddenly rush at him. 

Overall, the holes in Vice's fighting style were just too much for this once upon a time number one assassin to peel.

When Lenny thought that he had had his fun understanding what Vice was lacking, he took advantage of the fatigue that using WILL naturally bestowed on Vice, and then, he let his blood cells in Vice's body do the work. 

The truth was that Vice had lost from the moment that he caught Lenny's interest by saying he also had a system. 

Lenny grabbed Vice by his face and pulled him closer, "You can see my Demon rank, can't you?" 

Vice barely nodded through the pain.

"No! No!! No!!!" Lenny shook his head. "I don't mean the rubbish I intentionally let you see to pull you in. I mean... this one..."
