The entire conversation between Lenny and the Queen had been like a mother talking tenderly to her son, or better still, a window slowly seducing a single man to her lonely bed.
All the while, she had made the conversation seem as if she was inviting him for Dinner or the like. However, the meal for the dinner was Lenny himself.
The moment she saw him, her excitement could no longer hold itself back. She just had to get a taste of him.
as wrong as that sounded, she literally had to have a taste of him. It was the only thing at the moment that she craved.
Her long winding tentacles wrapped him up like buns to a sausage. And then she railed him in like fisherman would an amazing catch.
However, Lenny immediately willed and Piecers appeared from seemingly nowhere, cutting the binds around himself.
Yellow fluid went up the air like a bursted pipe.
The Queen screeched in pain. The Beast was surprisingly more fragile than Lenny thought. However, its regenerative ability was on another level.
Almost instantly that he cut it, the whips healed back coming for him ones more.
Lenny did a somersault to his feet.
He manouereved left and right, dodging the attacks like he normally did bullets in his former world, but subconsciously predicting where the next attack would come from using the muscle movement he could see at the joint where the tentacle sped out from.
However, from time to time, the beast would nearly get him.
Evidently, the queen was also reading his moves.
In fact, with the number of eyes on its deshaped head, it was a wonder that it had not yet gotten a hold of him.
However, this was just how much Skilled Lenny was.
His foot work was literally something not of this world.
Sometimes his legs would move as if he was going to move left, however, with but a slight unnoticeable shift of a muscle strand, the entire dynamic of his movements would change, therefore confusing his opponent.
This was an old Assassin movement that mimicked the flow of water waves. The movements of waves could easily be predicted. However, just before they hit where was predicted, it could as shift. Leaving the observer in Awe.
Lenny's opponent might have been a demon, but human beings had thousands of years of rich history and culture.
they had been through adversities with beasts of the wild that fed on their flesh and the unforgiving might of mother nature displaying her supremacy with her natural disasters.
Through such chaotic times, they had climbed to the top of the food chain, regrdless of their fragile bodies.
This was all due to the techniques that had been formed, passed down and amended from generation to generation to produce effective and strategic thinkers. Humans had gone very far, and Lenny was a beautiful sum total of their kills in the art of assassination.
Slowly, his body started to feel and memorize the rhythm of the continuous attacks.
Less effort was put into dodging, and it became more of an expected but passive kind of thing.
However, Lenny's plan was not to escape.
He wanted to know two things. The first one was if he could kill this beast now, and the second was his curiosity about the drop of Lucifer's blood that was in possesion of the queen.
However, he had looked all around but had still not seen it or anything of the like.
Brazenly, he advanced towards the Queen.
For all he knew, it must be closest to her. After all, it was the most important treasure here.
As he got closer, he also attacked. Throwing the piecers for the Queen's body.
He managed to get a few eyes. But then it healed almost instantly, and the fluid that came out of its main body created burnt marks on the ground, release steam into the air.
"Acid!" Lenny muttered.
This meant that he could not attack close to himself.
He had to attack a bit further away or risk being splashed by Acid.
Also, he had gotten close enough that the Satan system was now showing him that the piece of Lucifer he was after was directly at where the Queen was located.
However, something unexpected suddenly happened.
A tentacle different in color and even size rushed at him. This time around, he could not dodge it and it wrapped around him like a python about to swallow its prey.
Lenny looked at the Queen's eyes and he could see a sly glee in them.
Apparently, all this time, the queen had intentionally been holding back on him. However, she no longer held back the moment he came close enough.
This was the entire plan, to lure him in with the lie that he was making progress.
Lenny tried to struggle. But unlike Last time, he could not move even an inch.
Once more, the Queen's unforgiving round-sharp-teethed mouth opened wide in readiness to receive its meal.
"There is no need to struggle! I know your strength limits. You can't break out of this one! don't worry, I'll chew fast. You wont feel a thing...I promise..." its voice trailed along like a whisper.
Lenny struggled but it was to no avail.
He had now gotten to the mouth, and a little more, he would be pulled in.
However, he did not want to go. He did not want to lose.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his light skin turned a tomato shade as he tried his best not to pulled in.
Even pushing back with his legs against one of the teeth.
"Hahaha... there is no use, you are not strong enough. Your blood is very special. With it, I might even be able to do absorb that blood fragment."
However, Lenny suddenly smiled, "thank you by the way,"
"For what, eating you? This will be the first time that a meal would thank me for taking its life."
"No! for the tour. That way, I knew I could do it too!"
"Huh!?" The Queen did not understand what Lenny was saying.
However, it suddenly felt a sharp pain, as its tentacle around Lenny was cut loose.
Lenny fell to the ground and rolled to the side.
As he did, the Queen screeched in pain.
by Lenny's Side landed the person that had just saved his life.
To the surprise of the Queen, it was Insect-B.
The Queen was surprised by this. But Lenny on the other hand, was not. After all, he was the one that commanded this.
Lenny smiled at the queen, "when I was looking around your cave, you said something that I did not forget! You said that it was on the same day you tasted my blood that you created Insect-B. You also said that whosoever created her could control her. This gave me an idea and while I stood in front of her, I tried something. Surprisingly, it worked."
As of the time Lenny was getting a tour of the cave while he proceeded in, he had seen Insect-B in a green Bubble healing her wounds.
Back then, he had heard what the queen said and he just out of curiosity, he had given out a command.
Just because the Queen was in his head and he did not know the extent of her mind abilities, he had immediately distracted his flow of thought by scratching his chin.
The Queen did not know that at the point, Lenny had created a connection with Insect-B.
Even though the Queen had created Insect-B, she had still used Lenny's blood to do it.
Just like she had control over Insect-B, so did Lenny.
"Destroy her!" Lenny commanded. However, just before Insect B moved, the Queen also gave her own orders.
Soon, it had become a competition of who owned Insect-B's head. In confusion of what to do, Insect B screamed to the sky. And then in both rage and confusion, it hit its head against a wall, and then another.
Before anyone knew it, it was throwing attacks everywhere. It soon hit some vital pillars. While the Queen tried to take back control, Lenny decided that it was time for him to exit this place.
Although the Cotton worms had blocked the path to this place, Insect-B had created openings through them when it was coming here and that was what truly made it waste some time.
Lenny immediately made his way through those openings as he escaped the area.
The Queen screeched in anger.
Its tentacles went after Lenny, but they could not reach him.
It was so angry that its tentacles flared all over the place aiding in the bringing down of a pillar on its body.
Using the Satan System Map, Lenny maneuvered his way through the tunnels. Now that he knew what he was up against, he had a rough frame of how to kill the disgusting creature.
But for that to happen, he would be needing something that only Crusher had to offer.
