Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 516 Practice Dummies

Like the chimera ants colony, different ants performed different functions.

Ulric, Gadu and the last Werewolf were unlucky enough to have met creepy crawlies that fed on human emotion. To be precise, they fed on a mixture of joy and good memories.

Their piercing mandibles taking huge bites out of their precious memories.

Lenny left them in this place to suffer for many days while he had other experiments to perform.

Of course, those experiments involved increasing his strengths with runes and bitter cultivation.

To lenny's surprise, he discovered that he could practice his rune crafting inside the Satan System as long as he had sent the materials into the storage.

Naturally, he used the training ground for this

With the kind of rigid rules Lenny had seen were applicable to creating runes, he had thought that this was going to be difficult. After all, some of those rules were humanly impossible. An example would be the level of critical precision that was used to carve out some runes, bending at a particular angle and only switching at certain angles without taking a break and alternating the pressure applicable to every two inches of curving or drawing the rune.

Lenny had an incredible mind and his attention to detail was heaven-gifted, but as earlier stated, these were impossible to replicate.

It actually made him wonder how Ella, Glenn and other Witches managed to do it.

He opened the books to read further and then discovered that Witches and magi did not create their own Runes, but rather stole those runes using sacrifices and rituals, or making deals with creatures of the Nether.

This was how they improved in strength and power.

All they had to do was understand the function of the rune and take it.

Of course, since these runes were made for other creatures, namely creatures of the Nether, many came with adverse consequences in the future.

Another reason why many Witches and magi choose to alter their bodies, switch them with creatures of the nether or demons.

Some other creatures like Ella who was a Nephilim was born with a natural advantage in this sector. Glenn too was also not normal. Carrying the blessings of an angel gave her bloodline superiority that was envied by most.

Regardless, Lenny was determined to try it out.

He had just discovered this brand new world and he would rather see the impossibility of it and fail than never do it at all.

To Lenny's surprise, the moment he started with the Runes, the Rune inside him was roused in excitement and rushed to aid.

It took a while for Lenny to figure out why, but Lenny eventually understood. just like Glenn, the Rune was a blessing from the Fates.

In fact, after a deeper research, he discovered, that it was A Spirit Rune. It had already merged with his soul the moment he accepted the gift from the Sisters of Fate.

The Spirit Rune was a unique existence of Runes that could not be present in the material plane and from what Lenny read, could only be found in the Ethereal. This was a plane in the In-Between closest to the Above which was heaven.

Therefore, a Superior rune.

As Lenny crafted with it, he slowly became more proficient with it.

it only took him a while to figure out how to bend the strokes appropriately. In only a matter of days, he was able to learn how to craft the basic runes that controlled fire, water, air, and earth.

This was a new experience for Lenny. And he found himself lost in the thrill that it provided.

Lenny learned felt his learning was slow. After all, he had only been able to learn in the span of a few weeks of the Satan system time, not even accounting for a day in the Imperilment sub plane. Of course, this meant that he had only learned all that he had for a few seconds or at most a few minutes in the Eighth earth time flow.

Nevertheless, lenny still felt that his lenny was slow. he wanted to accumulate faster. Till this moment, he had not yet figured out the most basic Living rune.

lenny felt as if he was falling behind. Surely, if someone like Ella was drawing runes, she would be able to quickly do more. After all, he had seen how she commanded so many runes in a heart beat to shield her domain.

What Lenny did not know was that If Ella were to see him now, she would break down to her knees in tears. Wiping for how unfair the world was.

The runes she had used that day were not what Lenny thought they were. They were actually inherited from her mother. A gift her father had given his human wife for their child to use in terms of trouble, and even those ones got destroyed once used.

That was why she had used them only when her life had been threatened.

For any person that is not of the royal bloodline of Demons or not a heavenly being, it would take them tens of years to learn even one Basic rune of one natural element like water or fire, not to talk of learning several runes of that particular Element.

Meanwhile, in lenny's case, he even had the opportunity to learn how to craft runes for all the other elements.

He was currently complaining of Living runes when he had acquired hundreds of years of people's hard work and sweat.

In fact, Lenny felt a bit depressed at his speed, a result of his gross ignorance. Even the Fates that had gifted him the Rune felt like smacking him silly.

Living runes was the bottleneck Lenny was now stuck with.

However, he was not totally disheartened. For now, he was going to learn how to integrate. Elemental Runes in his battles.

Lenny waved his hands and a screen appeared in the desert.
