Asura Conqueror

Chapter 135: The Execution



Chapter 135: The Execution

"And that's what Marcus plans to do." Nexus stood by the door. He wore his black robe with a yellow diamond mark on the left chest side. His right arm was leaning on the doorway as he looked at the woman in front of the cauldron.

Eva nodded. "How many can you save from the execution?"

She wore her white-colored hanfu.

She didn't stop placing herbs into the cauldron. The liquid inside the cauldron changed its color as her hands moved.

Nexus had just told her about what happened, what is going to happen, and what they plan on doing in the future.

"They will be beheading those creatures later, when the sun is about to go down. I won't be working in the dark, so I'm not sure about how many I can grab." Nexus calmly spoke. He was told by Marcus not to strain himself. He just has to save a few.

Eva attached the side of the cauldron with a long tube. The liquid traveled through it. Below the tube were empty vials where the liquid dropped.

Eva relaxed as she finished. Her focus then turned to Nexus. "Don't endanger yourself, Marcus already told you to just save a few of them."

Nexus chuckled. "You know me. I am not the hero type."

He then moved with extreme speed and arrived in front of Eva. His hands slowly wrapped around her waist. He pulled her close to him and leaned for a kiss.

Their tongues soon intertwined. Nexus's hands moved from her waist down to her ass.

After a few minutes, Eva pulled her head back. "You have to go."

Nexus wryly smiled as he nodded.

"I'll go and cultivate." Eva kissed Nexus one last time before leaving the room.

He waited before she reached the corridors before he jumped out of the stone.

"Mask, I need a mask."

Marcus went out of the chamber and walked straight to his study. 

He casually stepped inside and headed to the place where the books were placed. In the heavenly realm, he had placed a few books here. Not only was there knowledge about the realm above the heavens, but it also contained a few bits of knowledge about the heavenly realm.

Of course, he didn't place a lot. He only threw in things about the Asura and information about the other races.

Marcus neared the books and hovered his index finger close to them. Book after book, he searched, shaking his head every single time.

A minute or so later, he finally found it. A thick blue-colored book, with only one line of writing on its cover.

"Finally," Marcus mumbled under his breath as he picked it up with his left hand. 

He then walked to the nearby and only table in the room and went to the seat behind it.

As his ass touched the cushion, his hands started flipping the book. Page after page, he flipped. It was as if he had no plans on reading the book.

He stopped flipping the page when he saw the word 'Naga' written in a different language on it. His eyes darted to the words below it as he began to read.

'Nagas are snake-like creatures with human bodies. They both live deep underwater and land close to a large body of water. The strongest Naga empire stayed on land, they built shrines, houses, palaces, and other infrastructures all on land. However, this didn't mean they don't have houses underwater.

They are quite extremely fast when underwater, and only a few can beat their speeds. An example would be the Kappas. The nagas value the people of their tribe, people of their empire.'

Marcus kept reading. He wanted to know more about what he is dealing with right now. He chose the heavenly realm as a reference since the nagas in that realm are most likely the ancestors of the ones here.

After he finished the last chapter about the nagas, Marcus once again flipped through a few dozen pages.

He then went on to read about the kappas and siyokoy. It stated a few details about their lifestyle, how they lived, and how they fought. 

Marcus shut his eyes as he closed the book. So far, there was no red flag. There was also a slight difference in the races of the sea here, and the heavenly realm.

In the heavenly realm, the nagas, kappas, and siyokoy are split. But here, they seem to live in one place, together in unity.

"Their bond makes them stronger." Marcus said as he opened his eyes. If all these races work together, they will be an unstoppable force in ocean battles. This goes for both defense and offense.

He scratched the back of his head. "I should study more about the Strongwald and their connections instead of this."

These past few days, he had been worrying about the heavenly realm more and more. He didn't know why. 

"One step at a time." Marcus sighed. This feeling that's wanting him to rush to the heavenly realm, makes him want to hasten his plans. But he knew that being hasty would be dangerous. He had to act carefully.

Marcus stood up, the book clutched in his left hand. He went to the side and returned it.

"Nexus should be starting right about now," Marcus mumbled as he checked his watch. He proceeded to go to the cultivation room to cultivate with his wives.

Nexus stood on top of a building near a plaza. The bright orange sky was already starting to turn dark as the sun on the horizon began setting.

His eyes were on the 3-meter tall platform in the plaza, with green-colored grass underneath it. Right now, the platform was currently empty. But he knew that the dark-colored stage is where the races of the sea will be executed.

"Why is it taking so long just to transport a few dozen fishes out of the water, fuck!" Nexus cursed. He had been waiting for quite some time, and he had other plans which make it even more frustrating.

He wanted to call Vid and ask where the creatures of the sea were, but it would be dangerous to do so right now.

Nexus slowly paced around the rooftop as he waited.

His eyes shifted to the stage and the people on the ground from time to time. 

There were a lot of people in the crowd. Nexus couldn't blame them, he has seen the destruction that the races of the sea did to the city a few days ago. He also thought that the people who were wildly shouting in the crowd were the ones who lost loved ones during the attack.

"You people should be blaming the Strongwald's," Nexus scoffed.

Not long after, a few large van-like vehicles streaked in the air towards the plaza.

"Took those bitches long enough." Nexus placed a mask on his face. This was one of the masks Marcus had, saving him the time to go to a store to buy one.

The black vehicles landed on the green patch of grass close to the stage. Figure after figure came out. 

First were the humans in battle suits, followed by the races of the sea. It took a minute or two before everyone managed to exit the vehicles. There were almost a hundred of them.

The crowd threw all kinds of objects towards the races of the sea.

Nagas, Kappas, and the Siyokoy had varied emotions. Some were glaring at the humans, a few had their heads down, looking at the ground whilst trembling. There were also some who were already crying as they guessed what would happen.

They weren't told about the execution, none of them were. All of them were just taken out of their cell and were placed in the vehicles with no knowledge of what's going to happen.

"Move!" One of the humans shoved a siyokoy.

A person in a white uniform with badges on the chest area slowly made his way to the stage.

A circular object hurriedly floated towards him as he arrived at the center.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have all experienced the attack that happened here in Estra done by these creatures. You were all forced to evacuate your homes, you lost a few of your precious things, and you even lost your loved ones." The person in uniform spoke.

The crowd nodded, while a few of those who had suffered a loss, teared up.

Nexus who stood on top of the building scoffed. "Son of bitch."

The person continued. "However, today, you will all see the ones who terrorized this city, killed in front of you. None of them will be spared. The Strongwald family has spent a lot of resources to capture these creatures to appease all of the souls that were lost and to sate your anger."

The person turned his head to the side and gave a quick nod.

The man at the side saluted and instructed his fellow comrades. "Ten of these creatures will go up at a time."

Nexus watched as he stood on top of the building, looking for the right time to make a move.
