Devil Slave (Satan system)-Chapter 828 Cross Road Decisions

As Athena resolved to carve her own path, separate from the twisted destinies entangled with Lenny, she mounted the Nether beast, ascending into the sky with a determination that marked the start of a new chapter in her life. Her departure, a silent testament to her decision to diverge from a fate intertwined with Lenny's, did not go unnoticed by Minnie.

Watching Athena's figure shrink into the distance, Minnie whispered with a mix of resignation and foresight, "This exact action is why you will still be in his future." Her words, steeped in the inevitability of fate's intricate designs, carried a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of their paths, despite Athena's attempts to sever ties. Shaking her head, Minnie turned her attention back to her task, her resolve unshaken by her friend's departure. "Everything happens for a reason, and decisions form the paths that weave our fate, in time becoming our destiny," she mused, echoing the sentiment of predetermination and the role of choice in shaping the tapestry of existence.

The work before Minnie was dark and filled with the eerie essence of witchcraft. She approached the cauldron, a vessel for her arcane craft, with the heart of the fallen Ella in hand. As she dissected the heart and introduced it to the cauldron, a low, ominous boom resonated through the air, the sound a harbinger of the powerful magic at work. The heart, a conduit of Ella's essence, was but a precursor to the final act of the ritual.

Holding Ella's soul, a ball of light cradled gently in her hands, Minnie began to recite an incantation, her voice weaving the spell in harmonious tones that seemed to dance with the shadows cast by the flickering flames. The cauldron's contents responded, the liquid brightening and churning in anticipation of the soul's immersion. With a deliberate motion, Minnie lowered the soul into the mixture, and the cauldron's contents transformed, coalescing into a small pebble that pulsed with an ethereal light. This pebble, resembling a miniature globe of ocean water with tiny fish darting within, was the culmination of her efforts, a testament to the dark arts she wielded with such proficiency.

It was at this moment, amidst the dark sorcery and the completion of her task, that Minnie heard a voice.

"Is that it?" The voice, unmistakably Lenny's, startled her from her focus. Turning sharply, she found herself facing Lenny, his sudden appearance a testament to his prowess and the stealth afforded by his considerable power. Minnie had not anticipated his return, nor had she sensed his approach, a reflection of the gap in their abilities and the subtlety with which Lenny navigated the world.

The atmosphere around the cauldron, charged with the energies of the ritual and the dark craft Minnie had employed, stood in stark contrast to the seemingly mundane inquiry from Lenny. Yet, within this scene of eerie witchcraft and unexpected reunions, the complexities of their intertwined fates and the unseen forces that guided their actions were ever-present, a reminder of the unseen threads that bound them together in the grand tapestry of destiny.

"Yes!" Minnie responded tersely to Lenny's inquiry, her voice a blend of determination and secrecy. As Lenny extended his hand to take possession of the newly formed pearl, Minnie's swift intervention was both unexpected and bold. "Forgive me, master. But I cannot give you this item just yet. It is not yet time," she stated, securing the pearl within the confines of her attire, a clear sign of her resolve to adhere to a timeline only she seemed privy to. Her actions prompted a curious lift of Lenny's eyebrow, a silent query into her motivations and intentions.

Lenny, however, was no stranger to the concept of destiny and the role that fate-chosen individuals played within it. He had been advised, time and again, to allow the One chosen by Fate to act according to her judgment. His trust in Minnie's loyalty, reinforced by the unbreakable bond of the Shadow Runes that imprisoned her heart, allowed him to temper his immediate reaction. The Shadow Runes, a profound and sacred magic, bound Minnie to him in a pact that guaranteed her fidelity; any breach of this covenant would result in dire consequences. Recognizing the depth of their connection and the futility of contesting her decision, Lenny chose to respect her wishes, allowing her to dictate the timing of the pearl's relevance.

Lenny's gaze then swept the area, noting Athena's absence with an air of indifference. Her departure did not stir any sense of loss within him; their relationship, if it could be called that, was marked by necessity rather than genuine affinity. Lenny's intervention in Athena's fate was driven by a sense of justice, a correction of the wrongs she had endured, rather than any personal attachment. In his ascension to power, individuals like Athena, with their limited scope and influence, faded into the periphery of his considerations.

With a casual gesture, Lenny summoned Destroy, the serpent, to their side. The creature's arrival marked the beginning of their next venture. "Come on. We have a war to stop!" Lenny declared, a statement that set their course with unwavering certainty. Minnie joined him on the serpent's back, positioning herself behind him as they prepared to take to the skies. Destroy, responding to Lenny's command, ascended, its movements a dance of power and grace.

Their destination was clear—Glenn's territory—a place where the next chapter of Lenny's regret awaited, where the intricacies of power, loyalty, and destiny would continue to unfold. As they soared high above the ground, the world below them a tapestry of chaos and order. freewёbnoνel.com

In no time, There made their arrival. However, Lenny did not land the serpent on the territory. Instead, far, and high above the territory, he watched in silence. Below was war. The undead army like a gathering of a million ants around sugar, gathered around the territory. Lenny could have ended the battle with one wave of his hand. but for some reason, he didn't. The reason was because certain thoughts came into his head. After all, it was common knowledge that for every action, there was an opposite or equal reaction. This meant that if he went down there to save their lives, it would mean that Victor never got stuck in Imperilment, and therefore the possibility, he never had Allison, who would become his woman in ten years to come.
