Chapter 21 (1/2)
”Marcus...Son” Mom appeared before him. The Vision which he had in the previous Dungeon, the home of the Nine-Tails hit him again. But this time his Parents were closer to him and Dave was also closer to him. Everyone smiled and looked at him.
Marcus smiled back gloomily. His smile was a mix of surprise and depression. He was still resting his head on the Dungeon wall. He looked up and closed his eyes.
”Brow-dha”
”Hm?”
Marcus suddenly frowned as he heard an unfamiliar voice. He looked at his parents, Tears rolled down his cheeks as Marcus smiled, his heart was thumping happily, he was overjoyed.
From behind his mother, came a little sweet voice ”Brow-da”. A small girl peeked out from his mother's back and hid again when she saw Marcus.
He had a sister now??!!.
”I have a Sister now?!”
Marcus stood up and walked towards the small yet afraid girl who was gripping her mother's dress tightly as she cowered back when Marcus got close. Marcus stopped a few steps before the girl and bend down on his knees.
”C'mon Sis” Marcus called out to the shy girl who was still gripping her mother tightly. Marcus had a happy smile on his face and blushed as he saw his sister still cowering behind his mother.
”C'mon...Come to Brow-da” Marcus opened his arms to his sister. The small, cute girl gathered some courage and stepped slowly towards him. She reached out her small, fragile hand to her brother who was in front of her.
But, No. The Girl stopped on her track and suddenly started drifting away.
”No, Not again!!”
Marcus started running towards his vanishing family.
”Brow-dha!”
The Girl cried out to him as she vanished completely with others.
”NOOOOO”
Marcus punched the floor and it broke into half leaving a fist mark in the center and a big crater around it.
”I...Am...Going back”
Marcus whispered at first then boomed like a Microphone.
”I AM GOING BACK...NOTHING CAN STOP ME FROM GOING BACK NOW...YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? STUPID STATUE...NOT EVEN YOU.”
Marcus stomped the floor and it broke till the statue's feet and cracked its stone fingers. The statue's eyes said it all. It was now a little wary about Marcus.
”If you have the will to move forward, no one can stop you, not even the almighty itself”
God Slaying aura curtained Marcus as he started taking slow and steady steps towards the so-called 'Unbreakable Statue'.
”And that's what I learned from this dungeon”
The system seemed to be surprised at those words.
”Hey system, You know...It's already time to start talking”
[Ah]
”Isn't this what you wanted?.. Or should I say the Old Geezer wanted?”
The system stayed silent for a second and then replied
[Yes Marcus, this was what we were expecting.]
”Heh”
Marcus made a smug look on his face as he inched towards the statue.
”So my hunch was right”
[On spot Marcus, I expected nothing less from you and you won't believe how frustrated I got when I thought you were going to give up]
”You thought so?”
[Man, yes!!... I even spat some disgusting words at that old geezer]
”Hehe”
Marcus laughed as he stopped directly under the huge statue.
”We seemed to have bonded a lot now system”
[Yes Marcus, I am pretty sure we are ready now]
”Me too buddy”
Marcus closed his eyes.
[System Integration progress: 100%]
[System Integration success]
His body felt light as a shimmer of black light glowed from his body and black smoke escaped through his mouth, ears, and his nostrils.
[The System Slayer achieved]
[All Stats X100]
Marcus suppressed the Intense urge to puke as his veins throbbed like crazy. His power was rising again and this time it was multiplied in hundreds.
[All Stats and skills have successfully broken through and have reached Nihility Stage 2]
”Huff...Huff...”
Marcus breathed a sigh of relief as his body came back to control.
”Now, Now Statue...Your role is over I guess?”
Marcus said as he closed his eyes and rested his forehead on its huge leg. Why did he think of ending his life?. It was simple he lacked willpower.
But it was a long time ago. Not now.
He opened his eyes and stepped back.
”If you have an indestructible body...”
