The Witches occupying Ciri's body had figured a way to merge their souls and consciousness and live as one within Ciri's body.
As it is their only hope at survival, they have decided to do it.
Lenny could not believe what he had just heard.
He could not help but even frown at it.
Merging consciousness was not exactly as pretty as it sounds.
In fact, most would rather run from such a suggestion, or even kill whosoever was to promote it.
This might look like an option at life, but was it really?
This could essential create a new person.
Nevertheless, the process itself was questionable.
From Scarface, Lenny gathered that Ciri had been going around and taking anything with actual life from within the domain and outside it.
This, she accomplished with her negative Spirits.
This particular piece of information was very fresh.
It meant that not just Insect-B but also also the others that had been taken were actually still alive.
Not that Lenny exactly cared about them. However, Scarface made it clear that once Ciri performs this ritual that could guarantee her oneness, then she might potentially advance.
With the power of eleven Witches, and the life and souls of different life forms, she could very well advance once more to the level of Elder Witch.
Lenny frowned.
He did not exactly know the full details, neither did he care.
However, the Satan System had given him killing Ciri as a mission.
As long as he killed her, his overall stats would rise.
Lenny was not one to let a good opportunity pass him by.
Back when he had just arrived at the Arena, he was even willing to peek off another gladiator's lips with his teeth just to acquire points.
Besides, so far, when ever a mission was given by the system, it never left.
According to what Scarface told him, the ritual Ciri was planning for was going to happen in ten days.
It was for this reason that she gathered as much living creatures as possible.
She was going to extract their life force as catalyst and their souls as the adhesive for cementing the souls as one.
Lenny frowned.
Witches were not as physically tough as demons.
However, underestimating them was a mistake that only very few, even in the underworld, would dare.
Because of their ability to garner strength from creatures from any foreign plane, even demons respected their power.
This was most especially true if the Witch had a contract with a being in the Nether.
pandasnovel.com Those creatures were very dangerous, and moved in packs.
If a witch were to summon one and it was killed, it's pack would hunt down the murderer no matter what.
Creatures of the nether where not so friendly. Even demons rather left them untouched.
It was a sacrifice most would make. After all, killing a Nether marked one for life.
According to what he just heard, once Ciri was back at full strength, she could potentially become an elder Witch.
What Witches lacked in strength provided by Darkline magic, they made up for in the vast well that was Negative magic.
It was why Ciri was able to make a place like this in the first place.
According to Scarface, the ritual would happen at the Witches cottage at exactly midnight of the blood moon of the solstice which was in ten days time.
When Lenny heard that, he remembered that little cottage.
who would have thought that he had actually made it to the witch's home.
However, that was not enough.
At the moment, Ciri was just too powerful.
In fact, her level of strength difference was just too much.
It was easy for Lenny to think up and conclude on a few things.
Firstly, he Ciri had called him Holy one.
She must have either seen or sensed Lucifer's power from him.
Lenny did not think it was the sending part.
It was most likely that she had been watching him and the others all the while.
Secondly, when she attacked him, she had done so believing that her beasts were going to be enough.
That particular move of her's, Lenny believed to be very dumb.
After all, it now granted him the opportunity to be more prepared for the next time they met.
Nevertheless, Lenny still had to acknowledge the strength of his enemy.
There was that thing she did, where it seemed as if she had bent the very fabric of reality.
With such an ability, reaching her would not be so easy.
Lenny needed a way to either close the gap between their power or a method to weaken her, or even both.
Lenny looked at the fearful man in the eyes, "you said the original Ciri wanted to save humanity. Why?"
This question was obvious.
Lenny had met some really sketchy fellows in his line of work as an assassin.
Rarely a time did he meet people with the ability to cause death with much sympathy for life.
And now, he was hearing that a witch that must have definitely performed some very inhuman experiments to acquire power was suddenly interested in preserving the human race.
That was pure bonkers.
Unless of course, she was keeping these humans here as livestock, Lenny doubted much to her 'Generosity'.
Most especially because she was a person that managed to reach the level of Elder Witch, even going as far as to know the moment of the apocalypse.
It really made Lenny wonder a lot.
"I don't know! I swear, I don't know!!" Scarface shook his head vigorously.
"All I know is that when the real Ciri was still here, she used to visit a lady in the other town."
"Huh!" Lenny nodded, "good! Then you will take me to this town."
Scarface nodded, "of course, I will!"
However, as he said this, he swallowed.
Lenny frowned at this.
This swallow was not out of fear.
It was something else entirely.
It was out of hunger....
