Chapter 43 I Make My Own Choices!
Lenny looked at the gladiators with fire in his eyes.
His hands were broken in his undisguised attempt to free himself from the hold of the gladiators that were pinning him down.
His hands hung loosely by the side.
Both of them were bent in an unnatural manner.
Even the gladiators that had seen this raised a brow at him.
Didn't he feel pain!?
Just like a mother Lion would hold her cub by the neck with her mouth, Lenny held the Chimera ant by the neck.
"E999! what the fuck are you doing?" A222 asked.
Lenny turned to her and she immediately protected her eyes with her hand.
She was not the only one. Everywhere Lenny turned, even to the Order Master, the Gladiators would raise their hands to shield their eyes.
"You stupid fuck! put that thing down!" E7007 cursed.
However, Lenny did not.
He was still in a rabid state and this state gave him incredible strength.
It was so incredible that he had broken free from the hold of cultivators that were far stronger than him. Even though the cost of it was dislocating his own bones, it was still worth it.
"Let me ask you!" A222 talked as she took slow steps in approaching Lenny, "what exactly do you think you are doing? Do you think that because of a Chimera ant, you can leave this place? They are over a hundred Gladiators here. Any one of them can turn you and that Chimera to paste. How long do you truly think you can last with that thing."
Once more, she took a step closer as she ensured she avoided eye contact with the Chimera ant.
She was not the only one. Three other Gladiators advanced steadily towards him.
Every time he would turn to one with the Chimera ant, the other one would use it as an opportunity to come closer.
Steadily, they were coming closer to him, and Lenny had no choice but to also take several steps backwards.
Just then, he slipped a little and was about to fall, but he immediately held on to his footing.
He looked behind him from the corner of his eyes. The reason he almost fell was because of the Hole behind him.
It was this same hole that the creature had been removed from.
It was dark down there. With little light from the glowing mushrooms that were initially thrown in.
Even from this height, Lenny could hear the chirping and crackling of insects below.
There was nowhere for him to go.
In front of him were gladiators that wanted to eat his flesh and behind him were Chimera ant that also wanted to eat his flesh.
Either ways, he was the special dish on the menu.
Lenny's incredible mind immediately went at very incredible speed. He calculated everything and every angle in the room.
He was a highly trained assassin that had been baptized by the grooming of countless battlefields. His mind thought of every possible thing he could do.
he even thought of jumping on the heads of the gladiators and rushing to safety.
However, this hall had Gladiators in the A class.
Lenny was truly not sure how fast they were but he had seen how fast and flexible E666 was. Using her as the standard, it was easy or him to measure how fast those in D class and c class were.
"FUCK!" he cursed in his mind. There was no way he was going to make it to the hole they came through in time.
And even if they did, he remembered that the Slab covering the hole to this place was heavy that it took E4004 significant strength to move it.
That was strength that he did not have. Also, his hands were dislocated.
The Satan system was an incredible one, and even now, he could already feel it as the system made attempts at healing his hands.
But by the time he got to the slab, his hands would not have healed.
A222 could easily read the look in Lenny's eyes.
She could see that he was calculating hard on how to escape the dilemma he was in, but she also knew that he was done for.
However, Lenny's eyes suddenly brightened.
And that crazy look in them got brighter.
"Death!" was a word that he had chosen instead of running away in his former life.
He had picked the option of finishing the mission than running for his life.
The Lenny of that time had not changed in the slightest bit.
Unlike any of them would expect, Lenny suddenly let go of the Chimera ant from his mouth.
As he did, he smiled, "You all should wait for me. I'm coming back for your lives!"
As he was talking, he had already leaned backwards.
Yes! Lenny had picked a choice, and it was the Chimera ants.
He had picked the swarm of giant crazy flesh-devouring bugs.
"NO!!!" A222 kicked against the ground as she leaned in to catch him.
However, her fingers missed him by a hair.
Lenny fell into the hole.
His smile at the gladiators was wide and wild.
Kill and eat him!?
what a funny joke. He was the kind of person that always choose his own fate.
As he fell into the Hole he made a few somersaults and used the side of the steep wall to slow his landing.
It was not easy, and because of a lack of control and balance with his hands, he could not land properly.
He ended up rolling down.
"Ahhh!!!" he groaned a little.
However, the moment he raised his head, what met his eyes were the blade-like mandibles of a giant ant.
"Shit!" he rolled over to the side.
Again and again, more of them came for him. Critters of them like he was a buffer they did not want to miss.
As he rolled and dodged, his eyes caught sight of a glowing mushroom beside him.
He immediately kicked against the ground as he leapt and grabbed the mushroom with his mouth.
