Chapter 71 Darkline And Fire...

This gladiator was a person in the B class. Just as Lenny suspected, when he used Surveyor on him, he could not see his power level.

That was because Lenny had power that was equivalent to that in the D class.

The Gladiator was not long for this world. But his exit would be accompanied with his suffering.

This was but an act of kindness.

At least in the eyes of the Other Gladiators, that was what it was. lenny was just showing kindness t another Gladiator.

And so with their permission, Lenny killed the man.

the moment he did, a series of Alerts flooded his eyes from the system.

After all, the person he had just killed was a B class gladiator.

The quality of his life Essence was a lot.

Because he was already dying, Lenny did not take a lot, however, it was still enough.

<Congratulations + 10>

<Congratulations +6 Agi>

<Congratulations + 8 Sta>

<Congratulations + 20 Exp>

<congratulations level 10 unlocked>

<Congratulations Level 11 unlocked>

<Congratulations on double promotion + 2 Exp>

<Congratulations: Title: Essence Collector promoted to Basic 2>

Lenny was immediately taken back by this.

He had known that killing someone of a higher class or even Level than himself would bring benefits.

However, he did not know that this was going to be the result.

Also, he noticed that he did not get any alert for overfeeding.

In truth, he was expecting it.

After all, this was essence from a Gladiator in the B class.

But such an alert never came. Which Made Lenny form a Hypothesis in his head about the life Essence he takes in.

It seemed like all was fine if he took large amounts from just one person, but taking life Essence from different people triggered overfeeding and Mutation.

He made mental notes of this in his head.

once again, his power had grown.

However, the most outstanding thing, was that he had now entered Level 11.

This meant that if he were to go back to the Arena, he now had strength of someone in the C Class.

Lenny could feel the bubbling energy as if flowed in his body.

it was an extremely incredible feeling to have.

the life essence from the B class Gladiator made him feel like he was on top of the world.

He couldn't help but think about the remaining injured gladiators, praying hard to lucifer that they all knock on death's door.

Naturally, if such a thing was to happen, he would be the guillotine, sending them off on their way as an art of 'Mercy'.

Also, Lenny saw that one of his Titles had climbed to Basic 2 and the life essence increased the way by which his hand healed.

His Stats was now.

Meanwhile, As Lenny increased in strength, he did not notice the way crusher looked at him weirdly.

After all, Gladiators were somewhat sensitive towards strength.

And Crusher could feel that Lenny's strength was below his. However, Lenny suddenly became stronger.

Although not as strong as him, but strong enough to have temporarily pulled his attention.

Then again, he had just moved up by two levels.

After a few hours of resting, everyone was feeling better.

Lenny even noticed that the Injuries on Crusher's body had mostly healed up. this included the tear on his chest.

Without a doubt, he most have very strong reptilian blood in him.

Compared to the long time of about two weeks that it took Reptilians of the E class to heal, those of Higher classes were considerably faster.

Although Lenny did not see the typical Reptilian eyes and tongue, he was sure of his conclusion.

Besides, the other gladiators had not healed up like he had.

Also, those that had lost limbs, would definitely never be getting them back.

Unless of course, the person had reptilian demon blood like Crusher did.

Lenny went out and Hunted Insects for meat. While Crusher used it as an opportunity to make a small campfire. Everyone sat around it and ate to replenish their strength.

When they were done, it was time for the real talk.

"So your name is E999!?" Crusher asked pointing at the tag on Lenny's chest, "but I have seen your strength. You are too strong to be in E Class!" Crusher added.

Lenny smiled, "Firstly, my name is not E999. Just like you, I took a name for myself. It's called Lenny. Lenny Tales! And secondly, I have been down here for quite sometime. Its only natural that I become stronger."

Crusher nodded in understanding as a side of his lips cracked a smile.

What Lenny said made a lot of sense. There was no way one would live in such an environment and they would not get stronger.

This place far more dangerous than even the Arena.

At least back there, one only had to fight when he was told to.

But down here, was a totally different story.

Death could spring up on you anytime.

After all, this was a colony of ever underfed ants.

Human meat was a delicacy to them. One that they would not allow roam free undisturbed.

"You see this!" Crusher pointed to obvious burn Scar on his chest, "its the name they gave me," he pointed upwards, obviously referring to the demons, "It was my name. But not anymore. I heal good, and so it was not easy to burn it off. But I finally figured a way to do it."

He waved a finger and Lenny could see a small dark as night energy forming.

"Darkline energy!" Lenny muttered.

"Yes! normally, only those ones in A class and the mysterious S class have it. But some how, the pressure for survival in this place forced it out of me. It is still not as strong as the one that Old man has, but i learnt some skills with it. When mixed well with fire," Crusher stretched and took some fire and then he skillfully added Darkline energy to it.

Like to two lovers slowly getting entangled with one another, the fire and the darkline energy mixed one to another.

Crusher stood up, "watch this," he threw the now fire and Darkline mixture at a passing Cotton worm. Immediately, the beast caught in flames. It rolled around on the ground a bit and then it burnt ash. A thin thread of darkline energy sizzled out of it.

Lenny was taken back by this.

"is fire their...!?"

"No! its not so easy. If it was, then the humans from fifty years ago would have defeated these creatures when they first arrived. Its a bit more complicated than that. I have tried to figure it out myself, but it was not easy getting this far. I think it has to do with a mixture of our human blood with theirs, and then an application of fire. When mixed like this, it immediately burns anything with Darline energy."

Lenny nodded his head in understanding.

Crusher used this to burn off the number tag on his body.

After all, it had Darkline energy.

This was also the reason why regardless of his healing ability, he still had the scar on his chest.

However this in itself was also very dangerous.

One wrong move and Crusher would have been dead.

He had used a very small amount to achieve this. any more and he would have become barbecue material.

According to Crusher, this fire and Darkline mixture was dangerous to all once it was activated.

This included the person that had made it in the first place.

"Would you like to try?" Crusher asked Lenny.

Lenny thought about it a little and nodded his head.

In all honesty, it even took Crusher by surprise.

However, Lenny was already thinking of how he could burn of the name tag on his chest. After all, once he was done with the plans he had for the Arena, he would be leaving this place.

There was no way he was willing to leave with the brand that he was a demon's slave on his chest.

Crusher chuckled a little. Since Lenny wanted to feel it burn, then he would assist him.

he made a very little one, and then he instructed that Lenny touch it.

Lenny had seen what this thing could do.

Carefully, he came close, and then with a finger, he touched it.

Everyone including Lenny, was suddenly taken by surprise...
