Lenny was smart enough to understand that E7007 was the most important piece in the nameless crew. At least to the best of his knowledge, the gladiator was a good and respected leader.
It would be a terrible waste for him to go out and die.
from the way E7007 had caught his snake attack the night before, he could tell that the natural-born leader was not weak.
However, no matter how strong he was, he surely could not compete with a Cerberus.
Underestimating the three headed dog was definitely not going to end well.
But that did not also mean that Lenny was desperate for dead.
In the battle formation right now, Lenny had discovered a weakness of the dog's . And he was willing to exploit it.
E7007 took a look at him and shook his head, "stay within the Formation."
He had said it in a strict manner. One that did not leave room for Lenny to disobey.
E7007 dove out of the formation. He ran to the swordmen to aid them.
He had come out with nothing but a shield in hand.
One of the Cerberus's head was about to bite into another victim. However, E7007 made it in time with his shield.
*Bang!* he blocked the attack. But that was not all.
He managed to block it and even though the Cerberus pushed hard, he was able to hold his own.
At this point, Lenny could not help but use Surveyor on E7007.
<Name> E7007
<Race> Half-born
<Level=4>
<Rank=Nil>
<Strength=60>
<Agility=40>
<HP 30/30>
<Exp 80/100>
<Ability= Presence>
E7007's stats were also very high. His stats were even higher than E666 that had tried to seduce him earlier on.
He was very strong, and Lenny could tell that he could really hold his own in a fight. Even if he had to fight alone, death was not something that would easily reach him.
Unless of course, if he decided to fight more than one Cerberus at a time.
Lenny now understood why he could go out there with nothing but a shield, and why E7007 was able to catch his attack the previous night.
But what he could not understand was the Ability: Presence.
However, that too explained itself.
"OVER HERE!!! you oversized fuck!" E7007 cursed out.
Surprisingly, the Cerberus left the Gladiators it was about to attack and turned to E7007.
It was an amazing ability. It reminded Lenny of how pulling Agrro in games worked.
However, E7007 did this without assaulting the Cerberus.
Those that had gotten a breather due to E7007's distraction rushed back to the formation.
As they did, one of the men lost his footing and fell to the ground.
Getting up was hard. Somehow, he had managed to have sprung his ankle.
The Cerberus's attention had been drawn away by E7007. But the man falling on the ground had pulled in the creature's attention again.
"Damn it! E600. Move your damn ass!" E7007 shouted at the man. However, it was too late.
One of the dog's heads came down for the man's face.
In quick response to the impending doom, the man raised his hand in defence. But it had no use. He was still going to die anyway.
*CLam!*
*Bang!*
Just when everyone was expecting the man to die, they all looked and to their surprise, a smaller than normal size Gladiator had a shield up that protected the man from the attack.
E7007 opened his eyes wide, "E999!?"
Lenny was the person that had saved the man's life. "Quickly, get back into formation!" Lenny ordered and the man ran as fast as he could back.
*Bang!* Bang!*
The Cerberus banged at the shield again and again. Lenny held on as hard as he could. However there was only so much he could take.
Another hit bigger than the other ones was all it took for him to go from defender to flying kite in the air.
Luckily, he had been flung back to where the others were.
Immediately, the nameless crew formed their defence around him.
Lenny looked to his side. E7007 was there. E7007 did not say anything but the smile he gave Lenny was one of approval.
Once more the dog came for the nameless crew.
E7007 sort to initiate the same formation as usual. But this time around, Lenny turned to him, "I have an idea! Let me do it!"
E7007 did not want to, but just now, Lenny had sacrificed for another. Also, he had proven he could pretty much handle himself out there.
Gritting his teeth, he finally allowed it.
Lenny immediately held his long knifes in a reverse grip position.
"Give me a hole underneath it!" Lenny screamed out.
The shields were lifted high in such a way that a hole leading underneath the beast revealed itself.
Lenny moved backwards to gather momentum and then he kicked against the ground. Running as fast as he could, he slide under the hole that had been created.
He was fast, and his figure made it easy for the dog not to notice him.
The moment he got underneath it, he traced where the heart of the beast was.
Using both knives, he gave fast rapid stabs to the beast's chest. Every pierce was accompanied by yet another pierce.
Lenny had been dissecting animals since his fingers were strong enough to hold a knife.
He had done so many experiments on the anatomy of creatures that he could almost build one from scratch.
His long knives went underneath the ribcage of the beast and bleed it from the heart.
At this time, The dog understood that it was in danger and it wanted to howl again.
However, Lenny had also thought of this. His long knives also went for the Cerberus's lungs
As it tried to Howl, the only thing that came out was blood.
Even for a second, Lenny did not stop his assault on the dog. Even when it hopped about with its mighty legs. Lenny held on to it with one hand as he stabbed with the other.
The beast rampaged the arena for a while as blood poured out of its three mouths.
And then, it suddenly fell. It fell right on Lenny.
