Asura Conqueror

Chapter 43: Good Natured Fight

Marcus sat on his bed, in his room, on the ship. His back against the headboard with a pillow in between. The lights were now back to normal and so was everything else. His hands lay on the white bedsheet as his mind was lost in thought.

It has been one whole week since he recovered a few of his memories. He could never stop thinking about it. In these 7 days, his mind has been going back to all of the events that happened to him in the past.

He doesn't mind not remembering everything right away as he would slowly be recovering his memories. The path in front of him is dark and right now he wants to traverse it as Marcus Kauffman. He already retained the important parts and he also retained a couple of useful pieces of information that could make him advance faster and the people around him.

He breathed out. Although his mana was back to full, his body was sore. The ordeal he faced wasn't easy and he had given all his got.

Marcus stood up. His feet touched the cold wood flooring. He wanted to take a shower and go out. He has never stepped out of this room after the incident. He stayed here and tried to organize his thoughts. He only cultivated and hoped that he could breakthrough. Sadly, he was still a few steps off.

After a quick shower, he went out. The room was pretty much the same since no one broke in when the pirates attacked. Though aside from Eva, Nexus, and the guards, there was one more person in the room. It was Zoey. Eva invited her to stay with them. Zoey hastily agreed. She doesn't want to be alone in her room.

The relationship between the girls improved this past few days. At first Eva's intent was only to make her owe them a debt. But soon, she realized she was not cut out for these kinds of acts yet.

They have now become friends. It felt refreshing that she could finally talk to someone else other than the two boys who were always with her.

Plus the one who she could talk to was a female. She, as a woman, also liked to talk to other women about topics only they could understand. The last time she was able to do this was when her sister was around.

Marcus walked into the living room. Nexus was on the same spot as always. On the couch, watching tv, not caring for anything else. He wore a ragged shirt and boxer shorts. He is also hugging a pillow.

'I can't believe that guy actually stood together with powerful beings.' Marcus had a drowsy look as went to the couch and waved at Eva and Zoey.

Eva smiled at him and while Zoey respectfully tilted her head downwards. Eva already told her that this was the person who saved her from being violated by those pirates. Zoey was really thankful for what he has done. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was not rescued.

Marcus looked at her and smiled.

Her plain red shirt was pretty fit. She had long dark blonde hair, almond shaped chestnut colored eyes. Her cute and pointy nose coupled with her thin seductive lips made her look quite foxy but her aura was that of an elegant lady. Marcus was a prince so he could easily identify someone who was raised in a rich household. He might not always be right but most of the time he is.

After that short exchange, the girls went back to sipping their tea and continued their conversation. Marcus sat beside Nexus. He wanted to talk about a couple of topics. Topics that were bothering him in the past 48 hours.

His butt touched the comfy seat. Nexus didn't look at him. His eyes were still on the tv.

"So how long were you in the stone?" Marcus asked. He placed his arms on the sofa back.

"I don't know. You made me sleep, remember." Nexus replied. He didn't even turn his head.

Marcus also turned his head to the tv. "I guess your thoughts were on revenge all this time huh."

Nexus finally looked at him. "Not a single day goes by where I don't imagine a scenario in my head where I killed them in many different and gruesome ways."

Marcus smiled, "You'll get your revenge and so will I. It's just as you said. One step at a time."

"On another note, thank god a few of your memories are back, now you wouldn't be so dumb. I really thought Asuras were smart? They build advanced technologies and stuff. But why in god's name are you dumb?" Nexus provoked.

"Fuck did you say?!" Marcus glared at him.

His shout made Zoey jump a bit. Eva only shook her head.

"You got fooled by that Captain good time. Hahaha, the way you got bashed as you turned." Nexus laughed.

"Shut up! I had no idea about what was happening behind the scenes. But that won't happen again." Marcus had a smug look on his face as he continued in a low sounding voice "Because of the memories I retained, I'll be doing the tricking."

"You are still a kid no matter what." Nexus joked. The Lord of Destruction Marcus would say this to him all the time in the past. This was payback.

"That's it!" Marcus grabbed Nexus's shirt and threw a punch straight to his face. Nexus ducked down and tackled him. The couch fell backward as a brawl began.

Zoey couldn't believe her eyes. These people were the ones who saved everyone on the ship and now they looked like children.

'These two were the ones who rescued everyone?' Zoey was dumbfounded.

How could she understand that Marcus who just recovered a few of his memories missed doing this?

She turned to look at Eva who had a calm expression as if nothing was happening and just casually drank her tea, looking at them from time to time while smiling.

"Aren't you gonna stop them?" Zoey asked.

Eva shook her head. "It's only a good-natured fight. There's nothing to worry about."

Zoey slowly nodded. She looked at the two who continued fighting.

"Let's not even get into the fact that you brought useless magic weapons." Nexus dodged Marcus's fist.

"How would I know they wouldn't work?" Marcus said as he tried to slam Nexus' head on the floor.

The fight continued for a little while before they finally stopped. There were a few holes on the ground, damaged walls, and a few broken pieces of furniture.

They both placed the sofa back to where it was and sat on it.

"Damn! I missed a lot of scenes." Nexus said as he placed his focus back on the tv.

"About the weapons, it's a waste that they don't work." Marcus sighed.

"Jokes aside, I think it's better this way. You'd be dependent on those weapons if they did work." Nexus his pillow that fell on the floor.

Magic weapons needed you to be strong enough to wield them. For example rank 4 magic weapons first need you to be a commander before you can truly use them. This is of course only for offensive weapons. For some defensive weapons, you just need them to be on you for it to work. As for the other defensive weapons, they follow the offensive weapon rule. There is still the last one. Which are trinkets. They can be used no matter how low your stage is. As long as it is not broken of course.

Marcus shook his head, "I wouldn't need them. We could have at least given them to Big Sis so that she'll have an added layer of protection"

Nexus dryly chuckled, "The heavens probably wanted her to train without it. I just need to keep an eye on her. And hey, whoever said I can't protect her. I'm an added layer of protection myself."

"The heavens huh." Marcus stared at the tv for a while.

A few seconds later he asked, "What happened to the pirates? Didn't they still have their 'mother ship' close by? Did they send reinforcements?"

"The remaining crew of the ship placed them in the hangar and wrapped them in plastic. They had no idea that the Captain of the ship was a pirate so I guess the owners of Moonsplorers have a lot to answer to. There are still pirates who are in their main ship close by. They probably think that their mates are still here, alive and kicking." Nexus answered.

Marcus nodded, "We just have to wait for the ships to arrive."

"They should be arriving soon but those bastards sure are taking their sweet time." Although Nexus likes to be in here and just watch tv, he also wants to have the option to go out and not be stuck in some ship.

"They probably aren't taking fast ships knowing that we're safe." After saying this, he stood and walked towards Eva and Zoey.

The girls looked up and saw him slowly walking towards them.

Marcus smiled and sat down. He wanted to ask Zoey a few questions.
