Asura Conqueror

Chapter 40: Never heard of an Asura?

Marcus shook the blood off his hands. His bloody figure stood there in its lonesome while pirates adorned the ground. There were no charred bodies as Marcus only used physical attacks. It's been 1 whole hour of fighting and his mana is only up to around 60%.

'Those bastards blinded everyone here by jamming their communications but they've also blinded themselves. That means if I destroy their ships, hehehe' Marcus asked Nexus where their ships were.

"They came here in small ships, so I think their bigger ships aren't here," Nexus told him where they were. Marcus went there and saw 5 small ships lined up. They looked pretty old. Rust could clearly be seen in some of its areas. Marcus went wild and destroyed it, he destroyed them all.

"Marcus, I think they got what they wanted. They are starting to leave." Nexus informed.

"I'm on my way." Marcus dashed out of there and went straight to the Bridge.

'This is gonna take a lot out of me.'

"We're going to be filthy rich. It was all worth the wait. All the weapons we could get, the skill books, the ladies," Bone's smiled ear to ear.

"We're gonna get those and more. Let's meet up with the crew and leave this shithole, hahaha" The Captain is in a swell mood. Once they find a planet, he's gonna withdraw a load of money.

They just got out of the bridge. This place also had normal lights on.

As the two walked, they encountered a figure in red robes.

"You again? Kid, aren't you just looking for death?" The Captain already knows who this person is.

Marcus removed his mask. "What crew?"

The two furrowed their brows trying to understand what he meant.

Marcus smiled "They're dead. All dead. The only ones left in your measly little pirate group are you and your lowly dog. Oh, by the way, I destroyed all your ships."

"Damn you! Who's the dog?!" Bones yelled. Flames blazed around his hands. His distorted angry face looked at Marcus. His fiery temper was famous in the crew.

The Captain didn't stop him. He wanted to see how Bones would deal with this child. For what Marcus said that he killed his crew, he didn't believe it even for a second.

Bones made his move. Flames erupted from the ground where Marcus was standing.

Marcus zipped towards him. He casted 'Vermillion Lightning Javelin' while activating the Destrucstone. The aura of destruction leaked out of his body. His attacks too were filled with the same aura.

Bones raised his hands. Continuous flames came out like a flamethrower as it headed towards the direction of Marcus. The lightning and flames collided. The winner of the clash was clearly the lightning as it passed through the flames and straight to Bones. Marcus didn't stop. He casted more spells and went closer. His hands turned red. He was ready to finish this as swiftly as possible.

The Captain who was watching this was astonished. He thought back to all the things the boy said. His mind went blank for a second. His crew, his third in command, his ships. He felt like he was going to have a heart attack.

"You! You! I'm gonna kill you!" Johnny Jones the Captain released his fury. His aura of rank 3 Commander burst out. He raised his hand forward and brought it down.

Marcus who was about to land the finishing blow felt his feet getting wobbly. His speed significantly reduced.

Marcus smirked. 'He finally made his move. But it's too late!'

Marcus turned into lightning and shot towards Bones who could barely stand. His face was bloody. The battle suit he wore was torn. He looked like someone who entered a den of lions. Soon, Marcus who was in his lightning form arrived and pierced his chest. Note that his 'Lightning Form' spell was now advanced and he made a breakthrough which is why he could pass through a rank 2 Commander stage powerhouses. A huge hole appeared on Bones' chest. His face was filled with disbelief. He didn't even have any time to react before he died. All he saw was a vermillion colored lightning that was zooming towards him.

"How?!" Jones shouted at the top of his lungs. He was sure that he used the spell on him. His eyes landed on Bones. His heart went heavy as his blood boiled. He glared daggers at Marcus. If that glare could kill, then Marcus would have already died 10 times over. That was the last member of his crew. He now knew that the kid wasn't lying.

"Hey, I have a joke. You wanna hear it?" Marcus asked as he zipped around the place. He didn't dare go and try that stunt on a rank 3 Commander who's not even bruised.

Captain kept casting the same spell. Just trying to slow Marcus down by every single time.

"So here's the joke. Why didn't the pirate want to play poker?" Marcus felt like his mana was going down pretty fast.

The Captain didn't answer, he just kept casting his spells, It was as if he had no care for the world. His eyes, bloodshot.

"Because he lost his crew. Get it?" Marcus laughed at his own joke. "Oh, come on If you don't laugh it'll just sound mean."

This was the last straw. The Captain yelled to the top of his lungs.

Marcus had a smug look on his face before using 'Lightning Form' again. He went straight to Jones. He transformed back into his human figure and was about to destroy the spell that the Captain used. But he was surprised when he didn't feel any heavy pressure. He saw the Captain take out a long sword and slashed forward.

'Is that a rank 4 magic weapon?' Marcus wondered.

They clashed. Marcus placed a lightning rune which The Captain stepped on. While Marcus also got hit by the longsword that the Captain used coupled with his gravity spell.

'Thank god he only knows this one spell.' Marcus sighed in relief.

The fight went on. The Captain still had a few surprises left. He took out a couple of clear sphere objects that had a red tinge in the middle. Marcus noticed this so he kept his distance.

Marcus furrowed his brows trying to guess what Jones is holding. Jones strode forward as he cast the gravity spell whenever Marcus was off lightning form. Marcus already stopped casting other spells aside from a few lighting bolts and 'Lightning Form'. He was running out of juice. He zipped one more time but he fell short. The Captain noticed this and knew this was his chance. He threw the sphere objects straight towards Marcus. He made sure to use the gravity spell on him so that the chances of hitting Marcus are high. And it did hit.

The spheres were bombs. They had fire magic on the inside and once it lands, it'll immediately explode.

The ship shook from the explosions. Nexus who was watching from afar furrowed his brows.

Marcus laid on the ground. He inhaled through his mouth. He opened his eyes, exhaled from his nose, stood up, and wiped the blood that was coming out from the side of his mouth. He didn't look like Marcus anymore, aside from the vermillion hair and eyes. The once 5'7 (1.73m) feet tall is now 6'5 (1.83m) feet tall. His body is dyed red with a few tattoos all over. There's one special tattoo on his left chest that only Royals have. His muscles bulged. He looked like a herculean athlete with steriods standing there with no clothes on.

The reason Nexus furrowed his brows is because he didn't want to watch Marcus' butt. Not only were the robes destroyed but also the pants!

The Captain stood in front of Marcus. He felt like he was in front of someone important. He also felt he was in front of a demon who could kill him easily.

"I did not expect that," Marcus said as he spat towards the side. His voice, deep echoed in the silent atmosphere. His red skin masked the blood trickling down from the large cuts that adorned his body. His demonic vermillion eyes looked at Jones. A strong aura of destruction emanated from him, leaking out like steam.

The Captain's heartbeat quickened. He wanted to shout but he couldn't. He readied himself as Asura Marcus dashed towards him. The speed and strength of an Asura is being put to overdrive. Jone's movements were stiff. He used the gravity spell which slowed down Asura Marcus a bit. It only slowed him down but didn't stop him. They clashed. Sword versus fists.

The rank 4 magic sword made Marcus bleed even more. The slash might not be able to cut off his limbs but they were enough to go an inch or two down.

Marcus is having a hard time landing a direct hit because of the Captain's gravity spell. He has no more mana to transform into lightning and is now only relying purely on physical strength.

The fight went on as Marcus sent the Captain flying back near the door of the Bridge. Jones coughed. Both his nose and mouth were bloody. One of his eyes can barely see and the other started to get blurry. Nonetheless, he stood up. He doesn't want to die here. He dashed forward and once again hacked at Marcus. His physical attributes were impressive. He is a pirate after all.

Slash after slash, blow after blow, they exchanged as they were now in the Bridge. Then finally, the Captain ran out of mana. Marcus's relentless and brutal attacks were too much for him to handle coupled with the aura of destruction that seemed to be suffocating him. His face could not be considered normal anymore. His nose is broken, one of his eyes is pushed back, his sword shattered, and his butt is on the floor.

Marcus stood there in front of the Captain in an awe imposing manner looking down on him like an ant.

"Wha-What are you?" Jones asked. He's finally able to speak when a lot of his teeth already fell off. His vision, blurry as he raised his head to look at Marcus.

"Never heard of an Asura?" Marcus had a devilish smile on his face.
