Chapter 53 (1/2)
It was the Zeus's Lighning bolt.
...............................
Marcus was thankful to the lightning bolt he was holding in his hand now. It was his regular habit now....To check whatever he had in the Inventory, just for his sake and Voila, he noticed the Lightning Bolt which he had got recently.
Now that he thought about it, this weapon was good, too good that it blew away nine God Slayer Prime ranked Monsters.
The lightning which just went all out wasn't even an attack!. It was caused when he pulled it out of his inventory.
It probably had the Explosive Entry Buff.
Marcus nodded, He knew the consequences if he pulled this out in a crowd. So he carefully placed it back to his inventory with utmost care.
*Flash*
*Bunch*
*Clack*
Marcus snapped at the sound and turned. All nine of them had their head down, bowing to him as they knelt, their bare knees on the Rocky uneven Floor.
Marcus, with a proud and a smug look made his way to Rolak. He patted his shoulders, then shot a glance to his right and left. They were hunching their head very low as if they had done a very atrocious crime.
”You guys did a very good job”
Marcus chuckled as he said.
”Trust me when I say this, You guys CAN! beat me one day...But for now...Stand up and stand straight..”
The Ornusses raised their head slowly, their eyes showed Guilt as well as Respect. Marcus smiled and stepped back, his hand motioned them to stand.
They stood up with a jolt, together they cried out in unison.
”We are Sorry Master”
”Ah, It's okay..”
”And Btw don't call me master”
”Sorry Mas...um..um...BOSS!!”
Destro stuttered as he spoke.
”That's better”
Marcus chuckled.
...............................
After sitting down together and talking about power levels they finally decided to travel to the next trial Dungeon.
”All right, boys...”
Marcus turned and faced the black abyss.
”Let's get your Rides”
*WHOOSH*
The Ornusses shrank and went inside Marcus's shadow as they turned into wisps. As they were summons, they could be called back any time He wanted.
But even though they were summons, Marcus wasn't going to keep them in shadows all the time. He thought about giving them their own lives when they reached home and promised them that he would only under special circumstances would call them back to his shadow.
He remembered the system saying he could travel through his memories 3 times Maximum a day. What he was planning now was to hit 2 birds with one stone.
When he confirmed his summons were all set inside his shadow, Marcus thought about the second trial Dungeon and...
”REGRESS!”
*BLINK*
*FLASH*
His vision blanked and his memory puffed. Marcus felt his stomach churning as he traveled through his memories.
With another one of those flashes his vision returned. His eyes opened to a tree. A calm breeze swayed the leaves and the dry ones fell slowly towards him.
He grinned as he remembered the woods and his time here. Thankfully he did not had to worry about the Marcus in the memory. He had made sure to regress back to the memory where He fought the Ninety Tailed Demon Fox.
He didn't have any plans to capture the Ninety Tailed Demon Fox, because it could possibly break his memory, leaving him paralyzed and trapped inside the same memory loop till he died along with his memory.
He also didn't have to hunt the other Nine tailed Demon Foxes, because he knew very well where their dead bodies were.
His legs vanished along with his body as he passed trees after trees, smoothly transitioning through the leaves, crunching none. His Kimono waved behind him and his hair swayed along. His Shadow pranced behind him as the Artificial sun glared at him.
He found the first body 20 meters away from his regress point.
”Resurrect”
He snapped his fingers.
The Carcass listened to his call and the soul shook and transformed into a black wisp which soon took form of the Nine tailed fox, Its Shadow Tails waved frantically behind it as it sat in front of it's Master.
Marcus took a broken twig and threw it somewhere into the woods.
”Fetch”
Marcus chuckled. He hadn't ever played with a dog before. But he remembered the word, Gabriel used to say that always when he mocked him.
He shook of his gathering anger and grinned. It was all gonna end tomorrow anyway, when he'll whoop Gabriel's ass in front of The King and his father.
The Fox had already come back with thousands of twigs while he thought about his fight tomorrow. Marcus laughed at it and patted its head. That's what they do right?...Head Pats??.
The Fox took it seriously and all 9 of it's tails shook in light speed, blowing the trees and dust behind it to oblivion.
”Shit...Kekekek”
His snort echoed through the woods behind him. The leaves shook once again and some fell down to the cluster of leaves under him.
Marcus's relaxed expression soon changed to urgency. He knew his body, undefended was outside in the open night breeze. Anything could happen. Who knows, he could be even dead by now and living as a soul inside his own memory.
”Come out Boys”
He shook off his bad thoughts. His shadow rippled and 9 of them came out of it as black wisps and soon took their form.
”Rolak..”
Marcus said, his head sideways and his eyes in the corner gazing at Rolak.
