Chapter 99: A Play Button? (1/2)

”Then what's the wait for?... Let's stop dawdling and just get this over with”

........

*Flash*

Marcus and his demon jumped into the portal without any hesitation. Marcus seemed more interested than the demon as he took the first step into the void less portal.

The demon who comprehended Marcus's interest was surprised, just minutes ago, the man before him was crying for petty reasons. Now just after enduring the hidden memories of his first dungeon which was supposedly one of his biggest traumas, he had started acting how an 18-year-old would.

The light inside the portal was a bit too blinding, it was a bit too lustrous for Marcus, who had lost his powers for the time being. But he didn't wince, Instead, he stared into the exit point which was, now just a few meters away from him.

The demon grinned to himself as he watched Marcus dive headfirst into the exit. One of the dungeons was enough to bring an attitude change to this extent.

The demon could only marvel about the random probabilities which would possibly occur in the happening minutes. He now wondered only one thing.... a synonymous question and an obvious one at that too, which started with 'WHAT IF?'

'What if, Marcus went through the remaining ones?'

The question was worth asking for, the demon thought. If Marcus could have a large scale change after his time inside the hidden memories, then...

Would it create an indestructible monster who could fly in the face of even gods, or would it possibly create the strongest guardian ever to whom even the gods would fall short?

The Demon put a period to his questions.

He knew...

Only time could reveal the answers to his questions.

*Flash*

Marcus landed on his feet as soon as the hole on the portal vanished. It was just as he suspected. It was the second dungeon... the home of the nine tails!!.

He walked on the grass as he glanced right and left, watching the familiar trees and the dense forest inside.

”We are here!”

The Demon came right behind him and patted his shoulders.

”You ready?”

”Yea”

Marcus replied to the demon. He shook the demon's hand off his shoulder.

”What?... I am trying to be nice here”

The demon took a step back, shrugging bus shoulder... and in a swift action kicked the redhead in front of him.

He kicked him... or so he thought.

Marcus was quick on his feet when he sidestepped to his right dodging the demon's obsidian leg.

And keeping his hands in his Capri, Marcus turned a whole circle before hopping in the air to land a jawbreaking tornado kick with his left on the alarmed Demon.

The kick connected straight and square to his jaw, as the demon, clutching his jaw, pummeled into the ground.

”That there was a good kick”

The inner demon emerged from the air behind him and grinned.

”I know... Now let me finish this one as well, you are wasting my time”

Marcus shook his head and started walking off to the forest.

”Yeah sure... Go on...”

The demon gestured with his hands open towards the forest.

”We'll have to fight soon anyways... kekeke”
