Chapter 98: What Have You Realized Marcus? (1/2)
”I'm not afraid of you anymore... Because I have something else I'm scared of.”
”Just take me to the next one”
”Sure thing”
............................................
The demon turned his back towards Marcus as he stepped closer to the very edge of the land inside the abyss.
”I hope you realize what you are supposed to do inside this hidden memory of yours, Marcus”
The demon spoke as he walked over to the edge.
”Yes... I think I do have a rough idea of what I am supposed to do here”
Marcus replied, his voice had greatly changed. It was no more the same voice that leaned a bit on the high pitchside.
Instead, his voice which he uttered made the demon feel like he was talking to someone mature.
Well, it made the demon feel like he was talking to someone who had just undergone one hell of a personality change.
”Oh? And what would be that?”
The demon asked him with a grin, which was half visible the way he was facing Marcus with his back to him.
”These chains symbolize my traumas, and one by one as I go through them, these chains will free me from its grasp...”
Marcus said.
”But...”
”But!!. Just going through them won't do.”
Marcus paused after interrupting the demon's words. He had a grin upon his face as well, similar to that of his inner demon.
”I'll have to acknowledge what I had missed during my time inside these dungeons. I'll have to comprehend the main aspects inside my hidden traumas that would help me become the Strongest!!”
”EXQUISITE!!”
The demon chuckled as he laughed.
”And what did you realize from your experience inside your first memory?”
The obsidian wrapped entity asked with his raspy voice which seemed to tow intrigue.
”Ah... The first memory of mine. It was just... 'EXQUISITE', as you say. It conferred me something which could assist me to grow stronger, if not become the universe's strongest entity itself...”
”It's just like what you said demon... Pain is the purest sense. It is true in every sense because it shows how weak you are because there was someone or something that could propel you to feel pain”
”But what I really learned from my first traumatic memory is the presence of an indomitable entity, which even the so called gods cannot avoid”
The demon looked impressed at how Marcus was talking. The pure words which carried knowledge in them struck the obsidian heart of the demon.
”And that... My demon is something even you should be scared of... ITS CALLED DEATH”
Marcus's eyes seemed to twinkle as he smirked at his words.
”Woah. I am impressed, Marcus... Just Impressed!!”
”Now that's what I call intelligent. That Marcus which I've loathed and considered a fool for the past 18 years... KEKEKEK... I don't see him in those green glowing eyes of yours”
”Ah... I know how pathetic I have been. Now that my path is clear and because I have been already chosen to be the guardian who is considered to protect the planet... I maybe should just become the guardian my people can rely on.”
”Even though being 'The Guardian' sounds lame... I'll simply have to become the strongest guardian there ever will be... so that no one else will have to suffer anymore”
Marcus smirked.
”Hehe... Just what I wanted Marcus”
The demon returned a smirk of his own at Marcus.
”Now show me the next one... Let's get back to the world as soon as possible”
Marcus spoke, shaking off the dust on his kimono.
Now that his powers were certainly taken away, the fancy clothes he donned were nothing but ordinary fabrics.
”You got it”
The demon mumbled as he wholly twisted towards the black abyss.
He inhaled some air through his obsidian nostrils and held it inside.
