Chapter 52: M for Marcus, M for Monster (1/2)

”Let me witness your new power..”

.....

The Atmosphere was tense. Marcus smiled as A light breeze played with his lengthy hair and died off soon.

All nine of the God Slayer Prime ranked Ornusses stood on one side and Marcus was on the other. They faced each other. Even though the Ornusses were still monsters, they had features of a Human and their heights were also adjusted to 190 cm except Rolak's, he was 195 cm.

Marcus was also happy that they had unique features instead of looking like clones of the same monster.

But it was not their time to slack, instead it was the time to fight, to check out the power levels of his new friends.

The breeze returned and Marcus tapped the rocky dungeon floor with his shoes and stretched his limbs.

”Ready when you are”

Marcus said as his Battle costume engulfed him. His Mask formed and fixed itself perfectly on his face and his kimono and his capri's followed. His sneakers covered his bare feet.

The Time seemed to stop as the tension rose.

”Come on!”

*Flash*

*Flash*

All nine of them vanished in front of him. But Marcus didn't move from his place, instead he was grinning. He wasn't surprised or frightened by their speed. It was expected after all. They were something more scarier than a God slayer after all.

*Blink*

Fists emerged from the air as Oraiz and Toro emerged from his sides, The Air shifted behind him and Sinzo drove his fist into Marcus's back.

Eroga and Destro made their appearance from his front. Five attacked him and four were missing.

Marcus wasn't worried about the incoming attack but he was a bit, a very little bit worried about the Four Missing Ornusses. Thinking about them made his heart....pump faster with excitement.

His grin intensified.

Marcus brought his right palm up and gently tapped on Oraiz's incoming fist. He noted that Toro was a bit slower than Oraiz. The Fist which was Oraiz's changed it's trajectory, missing Marcus by a whole inch and drove into Toro's face, His(Toro's) fist stopped just a centimeter away from Marcus's face as he recieved Oraiz's clean hit directly on his face.

Both of them flew off to the side and skid all the way to the edge on the rocky floor.

Seven left. Marcus eyed the Ornusses in front and sensed Sinzo throught the air behind him.

He accelerated his legs under him and Flashed two kicks in front which connected Eroga's and Destro's cheeks perfectly which in turn blew them back. His (Marcus) Leg followed back just as the other two blew away and connected Sinzo straight to his chest taking him by surprise.

The air gushed out of his lungs as Sinzo flew back and landed backwards. Sinzo finally stopped moving after a 5 meter drag on the Rocky floor. The land under him dragged but respawned just as it did.

Within a second, five of them were down.

'Now'...

...

'Where are they?'

He thought.

Five of the Ornusses were down, but the other four hadn't yet show themselves.

The ability to travel through the air in light speed was something Fables used to show.

The rest of them were moving nonstop as the time ran. Marcus knew that because he himself did that regularly.

They were trying to find an opening whereas Marcus didn't show any. His stance was perfect. His right hand was in his front hanging in the air and his left was behind him, His legs accurately perpendicular to his hands, the fingers on his hands danced as he felt the Air waltz through them and suddenly with a jolt it stiffened.

”There!”

Marcus grinned as he locked his palms and closed them into fists.

Three levitating forms appeared out of the air, hanging by their legs.

Marcus's Air Manipulation had once again come to great use.

Yemen, Runbis and Exram hanged in the air. Their legs caught and gripped tightly by the Air which continuously coiled them.
