Asura Conqueror

Chapter 22: Fighting Two Commanders

The fight went on for a while.

Nikolo stood at the back.

Marcus' plan was to try his best and grab him but now he had an idea to temper himself.

The two commanders were of course extremely difficult to deal with.

"What do you want? Money?" Nikolo asked from afar.

Marcus didn't reply. He is currently fending off attacks on two fronts.

Vermillion colored lightning crackled in the sky as Marcus roared.

He threw everything he had at the two Commanders. The fight was only short but right now Marcus was covered in blood. The cloth covering his arms were tattered.

His vermillion eyes glowed, his arms transformed into that of an Asura.

"What is that?" One of the Commanders who uses water magic asked.

"Transformation magic?" The other one who uses Earth magic guessed.

Marcus' speed and strength multiplied. Lightning danced around his now red arms as he dashed towards the commanders ready to clash.

Nikolo was scared but there were still people far behind looking. If he runs now then it'll be bad for his reputation, especially with the ladies. He has two commanders here, why would he run.

"You're doing great. Quick reminder, don't die, or else it'll just be me and Eva." Nexus's voice sounded in his head.

Marcus snorted. He didn't respond. More like he couldn't respond.

A barrage of spells flew towards Marcus.

Marcus didn't back down; he faced it head-on. The Stone of Destruction started to glow in his soul. His aura magnified. Marcus punched the water torrent that was heading towards him. A punch filled with the aura of destruction.

The water magic came in contact with Marcus's fist and dispersed. The mana dissipated from the spell. He did not stop with a single spell though. He went and did the same to the other spells that they aimed towards him.

The two commanders were shocked at what happened. Their spells got destroyed with the use of fists.

Marcus however felt like a large chunk of his mana was just used. He also didn't know what happened. He just felt like doing it and, bam! He destroyed the spells that were coming towards him. But he put it at the back of his mind for now. He doesn't have time for it. He used this chance to dash towards Nikolo.

The commanders snapped out of their initial shock and chased Marcus.

With the Stone of Destruction plus his Asura form the speed at which he is traveling could barely match a rank 1 Commander. But he still pushed.

He was done tempering for the night. That unexpected chunk of mana that was used by him in destroying those spells was enough to make him go home.

Marcus was only a few more meters away from Nikolo. He didn't transform into lighting to save a bit of mana just in case he gets forced into bad situations. A proof that his decision making improved.

Nikolo tried to run, he already wet his pants when he saw the red-robed man's vermillion colored eyes. Seeing the bloody figure that was dashing towards him was the last straw. He could not understand how the Commander's his father assigned failed to put this guy down.

But how could he even compare to Marcus' speed? Two commanders that were tailing him close behind was enough motivation for Marcus to push his limits.

The commanders only had a chance to throw out 1 projectile spell each to which Marcus both dodged.

Marcus got closer and closer. He stretched his hands out. When he finally grabbed the 22 year old in front of him, he changed his trajectory and rushed out of the villa. He dashed like crazy out of there.

The Commanders panicked. They couldn't use any spells for the fear of hitting their young master.

Now that Marcus obtained his target, he didn't care about conserving his mana anymore.

Marcus threw Nikolo forward as hard as he could and then he transformed into lightning. He did this multiple times before both Commanders lost track of him.

Marcus' mastery of 'Lightning Form' isn't enough for him to bring people with him yet.

He then went to the Stone of Destruction with Nikolo in tow.

------------

Inside the Stone of Destruction

Nikolo was shivering "Pl-please don't do anything to me. I can give you money. beast cores. Anything you want."

Marcus dragged him by the hair as he went to the Chamber.

"I did some searching on the internet about you. I saw a lot of nasty stuff. You bashed a guy's head for slightly damaging your car, put a hit on a teacher because he failed you, violated tons of women who you saw were helpless. Damn the list goes on. Long story short you're a terrible human being and you disgust me. I would never have bothered with you if we never crossed paths. But you just had to provoke me and most of all humiliated me." Marcus said.

He continued, "Well, look on the bright side. I now have the chance to get rid of a scum of society like you."

Marcus opened the door to the chamber and walked in. He hummed the song that was played by the band this morning.

Krieg is still screaming inside the hole.

"Don't mind him. He's just another one of our patients who has a different doctor." Marcus said.

"WAIT! I think you got it all wrong. I've never even offended you." Nikolo squirmed like crazy.

He doesn't know why he can't use magic.

"Don't waste your time. I already drug your ass when we came in" Marcus said as he chained him to the side, both arms and legs. He then went to a nearby cabinet.

"Did you ever think that this would happen to you? That some kind of retribution would happen after you killed and violated all those people?" Marcus calmly asked as he got a jar with a few leech-like parasites inside.

Nikolo didn't respond. He was just crying and begging.

"Oh, how rude of me." Marcus removed the mask that was under the bloody hood.

Nikolo's eyes went wide. He still remembers the face. This was someone he humiliated in a restaurant.

Marcus walked towards him. He dropped one of those leech-like parasites in Nikolos mouth. and began to explain.

"That was called a 'black limp parasite'. It'll dissolve in your body after 24 hours and spread the dormant poison. Once it does, it begins to work its magic. First, it'll make your reproductive part lose its function and yes it's excruciating. After a few days, the dormant poison that was spread all over your body by the parasite will start working. You will feel like something is eating every single part of your body and that includes your teeth that will soon fall off. At most, you'll have 1 month to live. Don't worry though, I'll be returning you to your family in a few days."

"Please don't! I'm begging you! I'll change!" Nikolo yelled.

Marcus didn't mind though as walked out humming to the song that was played in the arena.

-----------------

Marcus went to the alchemy room where he saw both Nexus and Eva.

He said, "Big Sis, don't you think it's time to rest? You've been at it the whole day."

Nexus shook his head, "I already told her that."

"Just a little bit more then I'll go back to my room to cultivate." Eva flipped to the next page as she looked up and saw Marcus' bloody figure.

She said "You're asking me to rest but it looks like you're the one who needs it. Are you okay little bro?"

Marcus grinned, "Yes, I'm also going to breakthrough tonight."

Eva and Nexus congratulated him.

"We'll be going somewhere tomorrow. You and Big Sis need to go shopping too" Marcus went out and headed towards his room. He has to clean himself up and then breakthrough before he'll go and see Carmen.

"We'll also go to the restaurant Eva recommended tomorrow. It looks like today was a busy day that we forgot to go out." Nexus reminded.

"Before all that, I have yet to resign at the hotel." Eva smiled.

Marcus went to the bathroom to take a good ass shower before heading towards the room where he makes his breakthroughs.

If his guess is right then he could use 'Army Manipulation' to an extent after the breakthrough.

'Once I get to use 'Army Manipulation' I'll be able to control a few people to work for the business.' A simple thought crossed Marcus' mind.

Although he could guess that the 'Army Manipulation' that he'll be able to use can't compare to the genuine 'Army Manipulation' that can be activated at the Commander Stage, it is still extremely useful.

'Holy nuggets, I forgot to ask Nexus about that weird thing I did where I destroyed that spell.' Marcus facepalmed himself.

He put it at the back of his mind for now. What's important is his breakthrough.

Marcus sat and crossed his legs. He threw a couple of mana stones in front of him and then he controlled his breathing.

Marcus could feel the stone reacting. shaking a bit as soon as he started.

An aura of destruction leaked out of his body. But he didn't stop it. Soon the aura reached every single part of the room. Marcus could feel his mana getting a lot purer and his soul getting clearer.

The stone also started to dig deeper into his soul.
