Devil Slave (Satan system)-Chapter 803 The Gate Again
Chapter 803 The Gate Again
As Ella's rage crystallized into action, her grip on Lenny's hair was not just a physical assertion of power but a prelude to a punishment that promised to transcend the ordinary torments of the Nether realm. Athena heard that hum from the portal and knew where Ella was taking him to. "No!" she muttered, "don't do it! Ella, he will never be able to get out!"
The castle, responsive to her fury, began a grotesque transformation. Bones and skeletal remains, elements of its macabre architecture, shifted and writhed as if alive, coalescing into a form that was as horrifying as it was mesmerizing—a portal.
"That's the point!" Ella muttered as she continually pulled him along. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
This portal was no simple doorway but a maw of darkness framed by the bones of countless lost souls. It pulsed with an eerie light, casting shadows that seemed to dance with malevolent glee. The very air around it throbbed with a palpable malice, a foreboding sense that this passage was a bridge between locations.
Lenny's reaction to this sudden shift from captor to victim on the threshold of a known fate was a complex tapestry of emotions. Annoyance flared within him, not just at the indignity of being manhandled but at the predictability of his situation. After all, he knew what was going to happen already. Right now, he was riding on the wisdom of King Solomon.
Therefore, despite the gravity of his predicament, a part of him remained defiant, irritated by the theatrics of the portal's opening and Ella's dramatics. Yet, beneath this veneer of irritation, there was an undercurrent of resolve, a determination not to be undone by the witch's machinations.
As Ella dragged him towards the portal, Lenny's feet scraped against the bone-laden floor, each step a reluctant march towards uncertainty. His annoyance was palpable, a silent protest against not just his current humiliation but the broader trajectory of his fate, now seemingly hijacked by Ella's whims.
Then, they were through the portal, the transition from the Nether realm's castle to their known destination a disorienting blend of sensation and void. The passage through the portal felt like being pulled through a vortex of shadows and whispers, where time and space lost their meaning, replaced by a chilling void that threatened to engulf Lenny's very essence.
Emerging on the other side, Lenny and Ella found themselves in a starkly different environment. The transition was abrupt, from the oppressive darkness of the portal to the glaring reality of their new surroundings. Here, the air was thick with the scent of brimstone and ash, under a sky that bled crimson, painting everything in hues of gray and despair. The ground beneath their feet was cracked and barren, a testament to the harshness of this realm, a stark departure from the bone-structured opulence of the Nether realm's castle.
Emerging from the portal into another corner of the Nether realm, Lenny's immediate realization that Ella had transported them to the infamous Red Sands confirmed his predictions. The transition was seamless yet jarring, from the bone-structured confines of the castle to the vast, open desolation that stretched before them. The Red Sands, a place of legend and dread within the Nether realm, unfurled in all its haunting beauty under a sky veiled in perpetual twilight.
Lenny's gaze swept across the landscape, taking in the sight that was both familiar and foreboding. The sands, a deep crimson as if stained with the blood of countless battles and sacrifices, stretched endlessly, interrupted only by the figures trapped within it. These statues, once beings of flesh and blood, now stood frozen in time, their expressions a silent testament to the Red Sands' merciless nature. They were like clay sculptures, detailed and lifelike, a gallery of the damned who had ventured into this accursed place and found eternity instead of passage.
Ahead, dominating the horizon, stood the giant gate, a colossal structure that seemed to challenge the very heavens. Its size was incomprehensible, its peak disappearing into the dark, roiling clouds above, as if it was a bridge between worlds, a sentinel at the boundary of the known and the unknown. The gate, with its intricate carvings and ominous aura, was both a marvel and a mystery, an ancient artifact whose purpose and creators were lost to time.
Guarding this monolithic gateway were two angels of immense stature, their presence an awe-inspiring blend of majesty and terror. Unlike any beings Lenny had encountered before, these angels were adorned with gray skin, a hue reminiscent of the night sky just before the fall of total darkness. Their size was such that their smallest digit dwarfed the largest of mortal constructions, a visual reminder of the scale and power that governed the Gate to the Nether realm. The angels stood as silent sentinels, their gaze fixed on the expanse before them, an eternal vigil over the gate they were bound to protect.
Once more, lenny looked on and he laughed loudly. His reaction to all that happened around him made Ella wonder if he was turning mad.
Ella looked at him in surprise. but she still gave a side smile, "Let's see you laugh when i come back for you in another hundred years!"
Meanwhile, at the same time, lenny's eyes searched for Minnie. Just up ahead, he found her. He nodded "Found you cutie!" Ella raised a brow at him. It felt as if he was hitting at her. She snickered, "your praise for my beauty won't get you out of this one Lenny!"
She grabbed him by the shoulder and was about to throw him into the red sands. "I'll talk. The secret to unravelling the Shadow runes, I will talk!"
Those words made her pause, and she turned to him. In her eyes, Lenny could see her anticipation. This really sick woman wanted to know. Lenny turned to her, "before that, there is something I'll like to show you. Earlier on, you released your killing intent. That was a nice breeze. Let me show you mine..."freeweb novel.co m
