Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 164 Hunting Memories Of Regrettable Love 3



.....Flashback (former world )...

Lenny subconsciously stretched his hand.

However, apart from a wet feeling on the sheets, he did not feel anything else.

Instinctively, his eyes opened sharply to this.

He rose from the bed.

On the white sheets was a patch of red flower.

One look at it and he understood that this was truly Catherine's first time.

She had given him her first.

He sighed lowly at the loss of innocence.

However, it was still proof of her deep undying love to him.

Just then, he realized something.

Where was she?

He stood up from the bed, but a sharp headache sent him back.

"Fuck! For how long was I out?" 

He checked his phone. The time was 3:33.

"Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!!" He had a bad feeling about this.

He was an assassin and he had really good senses.

When Catherine was leaving the bed, he was supposed to have known.

Something was not right.

He suddenly felt an off taste in his mouth.

He slapped his tongue against the roof of his mouth a few times.

He frowned.

There was a slight sour taste in his mouth.

This taste, it was too sour to be the after taste of wine.

Wait a minute! The WINE!!! 

Now, that bad feeling based on instinct was brighter than ever.

*Alert*

He looked to his side.

That Alert had been from his cell phone. 

He opened it. It was a message from an unknown number.

The message read :Throne room Lover Boy!

Regardless of the headache, he quickly stood to his feet.

He grabbed his clothes and rushed for the door.

He stopped and went back for his goggle size fake glasses.

Then rushed for the door.

The moment he opened it, large smoke fumes pushed him back.

His eyes widened in surprise. There was a fire in the palace and he was busy sleeping all this while.

Something really messed up had definitely happened.

The corridor was hot, but his fear for what had happened to his love pushed him through the flames....

.... Present day (New world )...

Lenny and the others backed away gently.

From the pool of blood on the ground, a blood hand slowly came out. It had a large red eye in the center of it's palm. 

The eye looked around the place, and then it's sight focused on Lenny and his teammates.

As it did, it sudenly split into multiple hands.

All of which had the same ugly properties with a bloody eye in the middle of the palm.

From one, it split into ten, and then some more, and then some more.

In a matter of seconds, it had entered a few hundred.

Like a fierce fountain, the host of bloody hands first rushed to the roof of the room before pouring down like an angry waterfall.

As it did, it entered soul mode.

| They were at their witts end, and Lenny already knew first hand that attacking this tsoul devils in soul mode was of no use.

In the Arena, Basit chuckled, "it seems your stock are done for too!"

He was obviously referring to Cuban.

However, Cuban only chuckled a bit as he pointed at Lenny.

"Do those eyes tell you he has given up?"

Just as Cuban had said, Lenny had not given up.

No! He couldn't. He had not even left a mark in this world. 

There was no way that such low level devils were going to send him to the Afterlife.

Just when the host of Soul hands was about to descend on him, he waved his hand, and a big black shield with long metal spikes appeared from his storage unit.

*Boom!*

The moment the Soul hands hit the black shield, it was repelled like a ball that had been thrown against a wall.

Lenny's eyes brightened. 

It was just as he guessed.

The Black shield he had gotten from the Mini boss devil had repelled the soul devils back.

Lenny willed and the spikes on the shield shot for the soul Devil.

<3 magic points used>

The spikes nailed the Hands to the wall.

There was a loud, ear irritating SHRIEK and the hands seemingly evaporated into thin air.

Lenny and his teammates sighed in relief.

"That was close!" C888 commented.

"Yes, it was!" A123 added, " but thank heavens for that shield, right D999?"

However Lenny did not respond.

"D999!?" A123 called again as he turned to Lenny.

It was not that Lenny did not want to respond.

It was just that at the moment, it was not possible.

The reason was because of the bed in the center of the room.

Now that Lenny looked around, he could see it clearly.

This was her room. The paintings on the wall, the bed post, even the smell in the air, it was all her's.

Gently, one step at a time, he walked towards the bed.

"D999, are you okay!?" A123 asked.

"Shush!" A222 shushed him up.

Lenny went to the side of the bed, and then slowly, his fingers glided across the sheets.

This feeling, even if it was a million years, he would never forget.

Just then, his eyes caught something he did not see before.

It was a patch of red on the sheets.

This was it. 

This was the evidence that it was her first time that night.

It was also the last time he was ever with her.

Lenny's fingers sank into the sheets and he bowed his head on the bed.

He tried to hold them back, but he just couldn't.

It was like a Dam in his chest was just too full and needed to flow out.

The icy plain covered by frozen peaks that he called his heart was suddenly overwhelmed by the heat of the memory of her smile.

Truly, there were different flavors of pain. But none felt as burdened as the tear in one's heart.

It was different from any form of physical or phycological pain.

Lenny felt like a bag needles had fallen edge first into his heart. Slowly Piercing at a steady pace.

Every needle a time he beheld her smile or a lie he told.

All because a fool like like himself had found the most beautiful thing that mother nature pampered in a cradle, Love.

A222 could not believe what she was seeing, but Lenny could not hold it back.

The tears just couldn't stop escaping his eyes.

It was as if a window was left opened during a storm.

He could not stop the down pour.

Maybe if he had done things differently, maybe if he had gotten away with her first or at least met her under different circumstances.

Maybe her life would have been....

<Alert>

<Compulsory Task>

<Congratulations host, third(3) task under this Title. Bonus Field unlocked>

<(Bonus)Task Titled: Soul Master>

<Iron sharpens Iron as Soul Sharpens Soul: Use ONLY your soul to fight the Soul Devils>

<Time Limit 1 hour>

<Number of Kills required =20>

The Alert instantly surprised Lenny.

However, what surprised him more was the fact that the number of kills was not a hundred like the last time.

It was just merely twenty.

Then again, Lenny was currently fuming with emotions.

This would be a good opportunity to let it out.

He turned to his teammates, "Take!" He threw the Black shield at A222, "do not come out! No matter what happens!"

He warned.

After which he turned towards the door.

His hand slowly settled on the door knob.

For the first time in a long time, he was a bit sceptical about walking out the door.

A subtle fear grew in his heart.

No! This fear was not of the unknown. It was actually of the known.

Seeing everything he had seen so far, he could tell it was coming.

A past he had ran away from.

A past he had buried so deep, like a pirate his gold.

A past he did not want to face. After all, it was the one time, he was vulnerable.

Lenny took a sharp breath in and then he pressed against the door knob and exited the room.

.......Flash back (Former world )....

"Catherine! Catherine!! Catherine!!!" Lenny called her name again and again through the smoke and the fire that burned all round.

As he did, his eyes searched fiercely for her.

Even these flames were not going to separate the two of them.

As he moved, he saw a man on the ground.

From the uniform, it was clear that this was a guard.

Lenny squat close to him. There was a blade embedded in the man's neck.

However, the man was surprisingly still alive.

But, it was obvious that he did not have much time left in the world.

"Hey, who did this? Where is the Princess?" 

"She.... She *cough!*" The man coughed up some blood.

However, his fingers shakily pointed in a particular direction.

As it did, Lenny suddenly had a better look of the knife that was embedded in the man's neck.

On the handle of the knife was a bold 'X'.

It was finely carved, and bold for the eyes to see.

Lenny frowned tightly, and his fingers shook at the thought.

He was very familiar with the owner of this knife.

Even though he was the number one Assassin in the world, he still had an eye to watch those behind him.

This knife belonged to Agent 'X'.

This was the number two assassin in the world.

This was a man with ways so sick that Lenny himself felt disgusted, and that was truly rare.

One time, they had a mission to kill a mafia boss and his family.

Lenny watched Agent 'X' skin the Mafia Boss's Two weeks old baby while it was still alive.

When Lenny asked him why, he said, " it's a brown head. I want to be able to sleep and still feel it's softness on my skin at night!"

Till now, Lenny could still hear the baby's innocent screams at the cruelty it suffered.

"Oh Fuck!" Lenny cursed.

Catherine was a brown head...
