Chapter 325 Picking One's Battles
The moment he did, he got alerts from the system.
<Congratulations, Host, on meeting the mission objective.
<Mission Reward: Title Merge>
<Host can merge any two titles of your choice to create a new ability>
"Hmmm! That seems a bit interesting." Lenny commented.
He was in a good mood. However, the Nether creature Goodness had obviously summoned was not.
It kept trying to reach for the teeth in Lenny's hands.
Unfortunately, this Nether creature was just too slow and sluggish.
It was impressive that it could even give such a useful ability.
Lenny had thought of giving the teeth back to it, but he was not one to become a coward just because he was afraid of a little retribution.
Besides, he had offended two Nether creatures already; what was one more going to do?
Even if he had to offend the entire Netherworld, he would do it in a heartbeat.
This was his part in growth. Making enemies along the way was the fun part of the job.
After all, every body had one enemy or the other.
And right now, the entire world could be said to be an enemy of humans.
There was no problem with this.
Lenny waved his hand, sending the teeth into the storage region.
Immediately, he did, and he left. The Nether creature took Goodness's body with it as it left for the Nether.
All the other witches felt it when Goodness died.
This was especially true for Minnie.
Her pain and anger were evident from her scream the moment she realized that she had lost another sister.
She looked in Lenny's direction on the wall.
"You! Lenny Tales. I will personally feed on your heart while breath still fills your lungs."
~Wush~
She moved.
Minnie was not a junior witch. She was a senior witch.
A good description of her would be that she was equivalent to a deep-level demon.
Although not as powerful, strength-wise, as witches, they borrowed their power from other creatures; nevertheless, on this battlefield, she was at her peak.
On top of that, she could teleport at will.
Her threat to Lenny's life had been clearly heard by not just Lenny but everybody on the battlefield.
However, who could stop her?
Even Ella was currently preoccupied fighting the other witches.
~wush~
She teleported around the battlefield, from one point to another. From the body of a serpent to another, and then she even stepped on the shoulder of one of her sisters.
With an incredible jump in the air, she made her way for her prey, which was Lenny Tales.
All the while, her eyes had been on him.
However, the moment she made that final jump onto the walls, she was surprised to see that Lenny was nowhere to be found.
She sniffed and turned around, trying to find him, but to her dismay, she couldn't.
What Minnie did not know was that the moment Lenny saw her coming for him, he had immediately taken action.
Stand and fight a witch that was equivalent in rank to a deep-level demon?
What level of absurd stupidity?
This was stupidity that Lenny did not have qualifications for.
Lenny picked his battles well.
If he could fight, he would. This was especially true if he had no other option,but in a situation where fighting was akin to suicide, with the choice of escape presented to him, he would shamelessly pick escape.
Minnie looked all around her.
The only thing she could see were corpses on the ground and the useless works of humans using guns, trying to hold back her forces.
Some even pointed their weapons at her and fired.
However, at her level of power, bullets were lacking in qualifications to even so much as tickle her.
She waved a hand, and a small blast of negative magic diced them into uneven parts.
She looked around, her anger and frustration climbing to maddening heights.
She had seen him only moments ago, and now he was gone. She wanted to rip Lenny apart so much that her zeal for it was as strong as the worst level of starvation.
Meanwhile, up in the sky, Ella fired her arrows in all directions.
She was fighting the junior witches and some of the serpents.
It was safe to say that she alone held the key to a great part of this battle.
After all, the humans below were nothing but canon fodder.
The grenades and explosives they used only rubbed dust into the air.
Ella frowned. She had to change the current dynamic of this battle.
What she was about to do hurt her, but she had no choice. Either this or these witches would force their way into her town.
"Aurthur!" She called loudly, and the giant monkey fighting below turned to her.
"Eating the Fucking Banana"
The monkey beat on its chest aggressively, and then it jumped for a Nether serpent.
It opened its mouth to abnormal proportions, and then, grabbing the snake, it pulled it into its mouth.
In a few seconds, it actually swallowed the snake.
Minnie's attention was instantly drawn to this, as she was connected to the Nether serpents.
She teleported out of the place. Her aim was obviously for the giant monkey.
A few seconds after she was gone, one of the corpses on the ground suddenly opened its eyes and stood up.
It waved its hand and changed form as a half-torn coat appeared.
This was the skin of the Nether Flea.
The reward he had gotten from killing Baddieness
This flea skin was half destroyed. This meant that he could not take full advantage of its capabilities.
The basics were still the same.
All he had to do was put in some blood from the organism, and he could change into its form.
