Asura Conqueror

Chapter 8: A Rich Kid in Trouble

Marcus changed back into his old clothes. He just depleted around 40% of his mana awhile ago.

Nexus suggested for them to go to and grab a late-night snack, to which Marcus agreed.

They both went to a 24-hour donut place.

*Cling*

Marcus opened the door with Nexus perched up on his shoulders.

"I would like to have 4 pieces of your glazed donuts and," Marcus looked at the cat.

Nexus was practically drooling. He looked at every single one of the donuts on display.

"and two pieces of everything you have available. Oh, and a large iced tea." Marcus finished his order which shocked the guy standing behind the counter.

Marcus handed the money and went to find a seat near the window. They had to wait for a bit for they ordered quite a lot. Well, a lot.

It's currently 11:30 pm, but there were still around 3 other people here.

Marcus sat down and Nexus jumped off his shoulders to sit on the other side of the table and began licking his paws.

"We should go to the capital of this country." Nexus said.

"We'll discuss this later on. We just arrived here this morning and it's our first day in the mortal realm. Also, you need to read more about humans." Marcus said while tapping a finger on the table and looking outside the window.

"So it's about the girl?" Nexus knew his idea would be shut down.

"Partly I guess. But I should stick around for a bit." Marcus said.

"And excuse me, I do read about humans. I know that right now we're like cops. Eating donuts after a job. Oh, and we should totally buy a stakeout van, or maybe just a car." Nexus blabbered.

While they are conversing telepathically, something big was happening a few blocks away.

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

A male teen who looked no older than 21 is sprawling on the ground. He is Leo, the heir to a big corporation that sells beast cores at 2nd rate countries.

He hasBlond hair, straight brows, monolid eyes, and has a diamond-shaped face. His hair which could have been tied to a bun was disheveled. A handsome guy.

Around 30 minutes ago he and his security detail were ambushed. His guards were composed of 4 Commanders who were in middle-rank 3 died.

Leo could guess that one of his brothers sent these assassins.

There were around 8 rank 1 peak Commanders and around 10 or so early to peak rank 9 Elite.

Leo's guards did their best. They threw out different kinds of magic items to aid them. But it was all useless. The number of skilled assassins overwhelmed them. Plus the assassins had magic items of their own. Even the people guarding Leo in the dark were also killed before they could call for help.

The Kellar Republic sent people to guard Leo. If anything happens to him in their country, they'll most likely have to answer to the ones behind him.

The assassins of course paid a heavy price. To kill the people guarding Leo they lost almost all of their group. Only 2 of the commanders remained. Plus one was heavily injured.

The assassins' orders were to take the young master of the Flavus Corporation.

"My brother really wants my seat aye? Even go as far as hiring Commander assassins from Spider Den." Leo looked at the two remaining assassins. They both have masks on with a blue spider draw on the forehead part with a red mark on its butt.

Spider Den are notorious in 2nd rate countries. Assassinations, kidnapping, larceny, you name it.

"Andre bag this boy up!" Said the man who had no top left, only tattered pants. He's drenched in blood and cuts. The guy could hardly stand up, and there was a deep cut on his back.

He's the guy who's heavily injured, and also the guy who activated a magic item that surrounds a certain area so that the sound of the fighting was contained.

Andre, the guy wearing a sleeveless black shirt, who was in front of him, got something from his spatial ring. In 2nd rate states, it wasn't really hard to get spatial rings, necklaces, and stuff. All you need is money.

Suddenly Andre heard the guy behind him scream.

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

When the fight was going on, around a few blocks away on a certain donut shop.

"Did you know that this is one of the oldest donut shops of the human race. And the main shop is located in the 1st rate state?" Said the guy who delivered the donuts to their table. Guessing that its probably their first time.

"Yes, I believe this originated when the human race all still lived on Earth. Krispy ---" Marcus was about to have a conversation with the water but Nexus cut him off.

"Hurry up and stop yapping." Nexus said.

"Rude," Marcus said while grabbing a tissue and a donut then proceeded to munch it. The dude who delivered the donut already walked away.

They munched and munched until around 25 minutes later they finished eating. Well, Marcus finished his earlier since he only ordered a few.

"Why'd you make me rush?" Marcus got a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"Come, they're almost done." Nexus jumped onto his shoulder and told him to go and run in a certain direction as fast as possible.

Flying can only be learned when you reach the Asura Preparation for Asuras and Preparation Stage for other races. Or if you're skilled in wind magic you could float a few meters above the ground before the said ranks.

"Could you at least make me float and help me speed up if we're really in a hurry?" Marcus asked while running.

"Now what's the fun in that? And we still have time. Oh, and do you really think I can make you float?" Nexus floated beside him.

Flying in certain parts of cities is prohibited but floating isn't. As long as you don't use it to peep on building windows or disrupt other people.

A few minutes later they arrived at a place where they could see a lot of people on the ground. hid in a nearby alley from a building that was still standing.

"Quick, activate your Destrucstone and hide your presence." Nexus reminded.

Marcus nodded and did what the cat told him.

One by one Marcus watched as the people who were fighting in front of him fall.

"Fuck, only commanders are left standing. You want me to fight them?" Marcus asked.

"Just wait, we're the fishermen here." Nexus said.

A few seconds later, someone teleported behind a guy and used a spell before dying. It left a deep cut at that person's back.

Only two were left standing.

"Don't be careless, though those two are injured, they're still commanders." Nexus reminded.

Marcus circulated his mana, he then made vermillion colored lightning course through his arms. He dashed to where the field of battle was. Marcus raised his hand to the sky and brought it down. Lightning with an aura of destruction appeared in the sky and was dancing towards the man a meter in front of him.

"AHHHHHH" the man screamed in pain. He hardly had any strength left to stand, much more dodge. He fell down, it was unknown if he was dead or alive.

Marcus was not satisfied with that. He smiled, raised both his arms and this time did it with gusto. Vermillion colored lightning crackled in the sky which was heading straight to the man. Lightning bolts landed on the man's body.

He died.

The other one who's the only guy left standing looked at Marcus in shock.

Marcus already changed into his red robes in the alleyway.

'There is still one more? How sly of them.' Andre thought. Andre had flat top hair. He was wondering where this peak rank 9 Elite was hiding.

Marcus transformed into lightning and zipped in front of the guy. He then punched Andre. But his fist went through. Marcus looked at the guy and was confused at first but then he remembered the power where people could pass through things. Perfect magic for assassins.

Andre, though he could be seen, was intangible. When people with powers like these activate their skills they fade away a bit but not totally invisible. They then become completely intangible.

The blond guy at the side looked at the two who were fighting. Thinking that he was saved, he stood up and ran towards a building that was still left standing in the area.

Marcus released a bolt of lightning from his palms and shot it out to Andre.

Andre once again activated his skill. He got closer to Marcus who was trying his best to keep a certain distance. He's not stupid enough to fight this guy in close quarters.

Marcus kept moving. Andre would often disappear from the battlefield and go through the streets and appear close to Marcus.

Marcus's eyes glowed vermillion, he once again released a bolt from his hands. He also tried summoning lightning from the sky. But it all missed.

'Fuck, no wonder this guy survived the battle that happened awhile ago.' Marcus thought.

They both fought crossing a few blocks in the process.

Marcus got careless. Andre, who was closing in, landed a punch. Marcus got propelled upwards to a motel room. There he saw a man and a woman doing a late night fuck. The guy had slick-back hair. He looked at Marcus who landed close to the bed. The girl quickly got the blanket to cover herself.

Marcus looked at them for a second. He stood up and went back out.

"Damn you suck." He heard a familiar voice that sounded in his mind.

"Fuck off!" Marcus' irritated voice sounded in the cat's mind.

"Is that all you Kellar's got. HAHAHA" Andre mocked seeing Marcus's state.

Marcus's hooded robe got close to being destroyed so he made sure to grab a mask from his pocket dimension.

Marcus looked at the guy. He clenched his fist. His asura bloodline is boiling. He wants to rip this guy to shreds.

Marcus tried his best to calm himself down and think straight, his mother always told him not to let emotions take control of his judgment.

He began to remember a few details from the fight. Andre would use the skill/technique which would turn him intangible and then would deactivate it after a few short seconds especially after going through walls and roads.

He also remembered how Andre could have landed a lethal blow if he didn't deactivate the technique awhile ago. Andre's hand could have gone through his body instead of propelling him backward.

'It's not that he didn't want to land that lethal blow, but he couldn't. He ran out of time. He managed to survive the fight which happened before this so that means his mana is running low. ' Marcus analyzed.

"Let's see who runs out of mana first!" Marcus yelled and jumped off the motel room. He began throwing spells after spells which Andre easily dodged.

Andre got worried now. It's true that he couldn't maintain his intangible state for long periods of time. And every time he does it, a pretty large portion of his mana would be used by the second.

Marcus continued to barrage him at a distance. He created a lightning javelin and threw it at Andre, one after another. He too was running out of mana. But he didn't care. He could still fight in close combat after this now that he figured out the guy's trick.

After a few seconds. Marcus zipped forward, he transformed into a vermillion colored lightning, and arrived in front of Andre. He punched Andre but he once again turned intangible.

"Stupid!" Andre mocked.

"Die!" Marcus yelled.

Lightning covered the ground close to him. It kept dancing below him which was enough to affect the person standing close to Marcus.

Anywhere around 1 meter close to him will get affected by the lightning that was dancing on the ground.

Andre ran out of time. He's now standing on lightning which was dancing on the ground at the will of Marcus. He was already injured from the fight before, although he was not badly injured, he still took a couple of hits from magical items which had an aoe effect.

Marcus took advantage of this and proceeded to punch him to the head. His fist was covered in dancing lightning.

A few more hits and Andre died.

Marcus breathed heavily. That took a lot out of him. He only had around 5% of mana left.

"Go to the blonde kid and tell him that he's going to owe you a favor which you would collect in the future. He must be some son of a big shot if lots of Commanders are involved. We just saved a rich kid in trouble, we should at least get some compensation in the future for this." Nexus said.

Marcus nodded. They were going to do business in the future and having some backing might help.

Marcus arrived at the place where the blonde guy was hiding.

"Sir thank you for saving me. My name is Leo and I swear on my name to repay you." Leo bowed.

"Just remember you owe me a favor." Marcus zipped away after saying that.

Leo looked at the vermillion lightning with tears in his eyes. He survived. Now he's going to let the person who was behind this, pay!
