Asura Conqueror

Chapter 78: Do You Go Around Doing This?

"I forget how ruthless she can be," Nexus mumbled under his breath, running around while being bombarded by spells.

Nexus was talking about Eva, the one who single-handedly raised the Divine Conqueror, Marcus.

Marcus and Nexus might not have been real siblings but Eva, who was fifty or so years older than Marcus at that time, took care of him.

She might not have been from a wealthy family, but she shared everything she had with the little boy that she took in.

The young Marcus vowed to give his Big Sis a palace once he grows up. However, his tiny dream turned massive, as not only had he given her a palace, he helped her obtain the title 'Holy Maiden'.

"Emily, move to the side and cast another offensive spell on my signal!" Eva yelled. She didn't turn her head as her eyes were intently looking at Nexus' movements.

If this was the Eva who fought in Helia Hotsprings, she would definitely have destroyed her puny opponents.

Emily nodded and moved a few meters to the left of Eva. Her dark blue battle dress fluttered as she sprinted.

The dress she wore right now sent out all kinds of emotions that were deep in Marcus' heart. It may not be exactly the same as the power the dress emanated was not even close to the one she wore in the past. Aside from the power though, everything else was the same.

He could guess that Eva gave this to her. Well, Emily's room right now was the same as the one her past self had. Her dresses were still there, but the one she's wearing right now is something Eva crafted herself.

Nexus turned, he faced the incoming spells with his arms raised towards them. His hands, coated with a purple hue.

"I call this 'Spreading A Woman's Leg!'" Nexus shouted as he moved his arms to the sides as if he was spreading a woman's legs and getting ready to dig in. The light particles covered in holy magic changed their flight path. Some moved to Nexus' left side and others to his right. They do have one thing in common, they all missed. None of the spells landed on him.

As the dust settled, Nexus could be seen staring into Eva's eyes.

'I feel like a damn third wheel!' Emily inwardly cursed looking at the two.

"I guess we can call it a day. Amazing session" Nexus tiredly sighed as he stretched. He hadn't fought it a while.

Eva nodded "My mana was also running out."

"I hardly did anything." Emily wryly smiled as she walked towards them.

"You're still learning. Believe it or not, I was in your position a couple of weeks back." Eva comforted her sister.

The three walked towards Marcus who was clapping his hands.

"You guys were amazing." Marcus' eyes had a tinge of nostalgia in them.

He turned to Emily and continued. "So, dinner?"

Nexus coughed and made his way out of the stone together with Eva.

"Dinner? I thought we'll have it with them?" Emily had a puzzled look on her face.

Marcus chuckled. "Nope, we'll be having dinner alone, just the two of us."

"Wait, you mean a date?" Emily's eyes widened.

Marcus smiled. "Yes, it could be termed that way. I've already somewhat confessed to you earlier, so why not I just take you out right away."

"Hold on," Eva raised both her hands. "How are you so sure I would even agree."

"I just do." Marcus stared at her eyes which were now starting to turn blue. "Go freshen up. I'll wait for you outside the house."

Marcus disappeared from the training room and went back to his room inside the house.

Emily stood there, dumbfounded.

"Why didn't I say no?" She mumbled.

Emily went out of the shower and stood in front of the mirror, naked. She looked at herself.

Eva told her about the medicines that could not only make you stronger, but prettier too. She took the first batch this morning and she could clearly see the changes.

Emily smiled. The bruise on her arm already faded and didn't leave any marks. She then went to the closet and got a dark blue cocktail dress that went down to her lower thighs, put it on, and then applied light makeup.

After her preparation, she walked out of the room and went straight outside, her heels sounded as it stepped on the wooden flooring.

Marcus waited outside. He already asked Leo for information about the best restaurants to go to on a date. Leo asked his friend and told Marcus about the place. Leo then called the restaurant for a reservation.

'Tanaw', one of the best places to take a girl on a date. 'Tanaw' mainly serves seafood but they do serve other kinds of food.

Emily walked towards him, her eyes sparkling. Marcus smiled and opened the car door for her.

"Thank you." Emily said as she went and sat in the back seat.

Marcus went to the other side of the car and he too went in. He then set the destination to 'Tanaw'.

"You look pretty in that dress." Marcus complimented.

Emily shyly looked at him. "You don't look so bad either."

Marcus wore a black blazer, black long sleeves with the top button left open, and black pants. His hair was also styled properly.

"You know there are other colors that fit you aside from black, right?" Emily softly chuckled. She usually sees him dress like this, minus the blazer.

Marcus nodded. "I know, but I kinda like this one."

"It does suit you." Emily patted Marcus' suit.

Not long, the two arrived at their destination and were led to a table on the second floor which was open air.

Tanaw is just right beside the boulevard, so the sea breeze could reach it. The ambiance made it perfect for a romantic dinner.

The two sat down and pressed a button that was located at the edge of their table. A digital screen popped up, this was the menu.

Emily's eyes went wide as she looked at the prices. "This?"

"Hmm?" Marcus looked at her.

"The prices." She pointed.

The few people around the two stared at them. This was a grand restaurant, prices being this much is only normal.

"You don't have to worry about that. Order what you like." Marcus assured her that there is no need to worry, especially about measly money.

Emily slowly nodded. She wasn't used to this kind of lifestyle. She was a lot more reserved and conservative. Even the kind of shopping that they did this morning felt surreal.

The people's stares turned into murmurs. Marcus didn't mind them. Emily, however, was embarrassed.

She finished choosing her food and then inclined her head downwards.

"You don't have to mind them." Marcus gently spoke.

He forgot to tell Leo about reserving the whole floor. Now they both have to deal with this.

"Can I ask you a question?" Emily raised her head.

"Fire away." Marcus grabbed the glass filled with water that the waiter just delivered.

Emily looked at him. "Do you go around doing this? Dating girls, you've just met?
