Asura Conqueror

Chapter 16: Fighting Krieg

Marcus activated the spell 'lightning field'. He zipped towards an opponent and stopped right in front of him. 'lightning form' can also be used to put a hole into his opponents but he wasn't strong enough yet and so was his mastery of the skill.

Marcus threw a punch that collided with his opponent's shield. It easily broke and the punch went through his skull. Marcus kept fighting and tried to speed things up. But he didn't use too much of the 'Destruscstone's' power. He doesn't want to be weared down. His main target has yet to come and this is only the appetizer.

A few minutes later, only 2 people were left, and Lupin.

The middle-aged man was still waiting. There are only 3 people left in front of him and that includes the red-robed man.

"Why don't you come in and help us fight?" Said one who was panting heavily. Clearly, it's not one of his subordinates, as all his subordinates died.

The other one didn't speak because he got hit by a lightning javelin straight through his heart.

Marcus then zipped towards the last but this time he held out his arms and grabbed the guy's head. lightning coursed around his arms. The guy screamed until he turned charred.

Marcus sighed. These people were too weak for him to push his limits. Although there were a lot of them, they're still hella weak. He looked to the side at the smiling Lupin.

To Lupin that sigh was like a sigh of exhaustion.

"You look tired, why don't I make you rest in peace" Lupid chuckled at his own joke.

"Trash!" Marcus yelled. He dashed towards Lupin and turned into lightning. He appeared in front of him, Lupin slashed with his dagger, bolts of blue lightning danced around it.

"Hahaha, cheap lightning you got there" Marcus mocked. He then zipped up in the sky, he transformed back into his human form and was now free-falling. Marcus raised his arms. Lightning crackled in the sky.

Lupin raised his head and looked at the red-robed man. He felt danger. he dropped the daggers. and started channeling lightning. Mana started to gather around him.

Marcus who was free-falling made the lightning hit him a number of times. He turned himself into something like a conduit. Vermillion lightning gathered around his arms and his vermillion colored eyes glowed.

Lupin finished channeling and shot both his arms up towards the free-falling red-robed man. Blue lightning shot towards Marcus.

Marcus also did the same. He thrust his arms forward and Vermillion colored lightning rushed out of it. 'Vermillion Blast'

The two bolts of lightning clashed.

But how could the cheap lightning compete? Marcus' lightning easily devoured the blue lightning and went straight to Lupin.

This all happened in under 10 seconds.

Marcus zipped down and transformed into lightning. He went to the limping middle-aged man who was lying on the ground. His body kept twitching.

"No, please spare me. I pro-promise not to bother you anymore. Remember how I tried to buy you a beer. See, I'm a good person" Lupin said.

Marcus conjured another thin lightning javelin. He was standing only a meter away from Lupin. He threw the javelin straight at his head.

The middle-aged man could still not believe that he was going to die right here. He tried to move but the projectile already arrived and demolished his head.

Marcus looked at the apartment complex. He already knew that Eva and Nexus were watching.

Nexus kept chattering in his head the whole time. He also told him about what happened inside. But only the specifics though.

Marcus waited for a while until 3 cars arrived. He looked at them and thought 'Finally, the main dish has arrived.'

They stopped in front of the apartment complex. 6 guys went out and they looked at Marcus. They were already told by their people who were observing this place that a fight was taking place.

They all wore purple colored gear that looked like a bulletproof vest.

'They could have gone with black, or red, or green. But purple? Do all humans have this kind of fashion sense?' Marcus shook his head.

One of them who had slickback hair looked at Marcus. He already speculated that this was the person who was being called a vigilante. He didn't do anything untoward to him since his gang was not affiliated with anyone from the south. Hell, the south backed their biggest opponents. He doesn't know what the hooded red-robed man's beef with the south was but he was sure that his gang doesn't want anything to do with that as they are currently handling a few other problems.

Krieg saw the bodies, or what was left of it, on the ground. He respectfully nodded at him and said nothing.

He then signaled his lackeys and went to the entrance of the apartment complex.

The security finally acted. They never involve themselves in fights outside as long as it doesn't reach the apartment complex. They have even grown used to seeing people fight in front of them.

"Stop!" One of the three guards said. The other two who were close to him put their guard up.

Krieg looked at them and then at the apartment complex. His eyes moved to a figure on the second floor of the building who was holding a cat.

Nexus of course had to stop floating now that there were other people around.

Krieg smiled at her. He couldn't wait. Just a little more and she'll be below her.

Two people who were hiding in the dark appeared. Now there were 8 of them.

Marcus saw that they were all rank 7 Elites and Krieg is a rank 8. The guards however only had 1 rank 7 Elite on their side and the two were rank 6.

'As expected of a gang that holds a piece of this city. Why are the guards weak? Shouldn't that businessman send stronger people to guard this place? Is he that confident that his name could repel the bastards here?' Marcus thought.

"Do you know who owns this building? One step inside this place and we'll immediately call for backup." A guard said.

"You can try. But I'm not so sure if they have time for you." Krieg laughed at the end. With this apartment complex out of the way, the Eastside will be in total control of the two gangs.

Krieg and his men approached. The guards were already ready to fight. One of them tried to call for help but no one responded on the other side. The guards looked at each other. They had no choice but to attack.

Marcus seeing this smiled. Vermillion colored lightning danced around his arms.

Krieg suddenly halted. He turned around and saw a lightning javelin headed towards one of his men.

A scream of pain could be heard. But he wasn't dead, he only got knocked down. Marcus didn't activate the 'Destrucstone' which is why it wasn't an instant kill. If he did then he could scale his power all the way to the peak of rank 9 Elite and if pushed a little more he could even hit rank 1 Commander. The power Marcus can dish out can also be heavily influenced by emotions when the stone is activated.

Marcus zipped towards the enemy he just hit. The guy's head was face down on the ground. As he was just about to raise his head, Marcus' hand slammed him back down and smoked his head off.

Marcus didn't give them any time to recover from their initial shock. He pointed at Krieg and then zipped towards him. This time he activated the stone.

Krieg wondered how he offended this person. However, there was no time to ask since a bolt of lightning was headed towards him. He tried his best to block. The aura from the attack he just received was scary that it made him shiver.

After blocking the attack he shouted, "Sir, no senior how have I or we offended you. I'm sure we have never done anything that could displease senior in any way."

Marcus didn't reply; he just kept attacking.

The guards were quite happy seeing that the number on the other side lessened. They fought with the remaining crooks taking two each.

Eva and Nexus started to go downstairs. Eva brought all her things. Pictures, clothes, and other personal things that were owned by both her and her sister.

'Will I be able to do those things in the future?' Eva thought while looking at the fight from a distance. Her talent wasn't good. It's mediocre at best.

Nexus looked at her. Seeing that she stared intently at the fight, he said "Don't worry, in the future you'll be able to destroy these people with just a pinky."

Eva chuckled and looked at the cat in her arms with complicated feelings but didn't say anything. She then went back to looking at the fight.

The fight reached its climax. Marcus never used his full strength. He used this chance to obtain proper experience. He knows that he will have to head to the 2nd rate countries very soon and that only makes it a lot more crucial to gain experience.

Marcus raised his arms and then brought it down with one quick motion. Lightning in the sky danced and struck towards the limping Krieg which made him scream in utter pain.

Marcus walked towards to him.

"Pl-please do--n't kill me, please." Krieg cried. Legit tears in his eyes. He already wet his pants.

"Kill you? Hahaha," Marcus removed the hood. His rank 2 magic item can hide the person's face because it has shadow magic placed on the hood part of the robe. But he would still sometimes use a mask for double protection.

"Man, someone still wants to have a word with you so sit tight." After saying that, his vermillion eyes glowed and he turned towards the remaining guys and shot bolts of lightning at them filled with destructive aura.
