Asura Conqueror

Chapter 115: The Twins Koga and Kogo

Nexus sat on the rooftop, bored. The skies were dark and the sea by the boulevard was raging. The clouds covered the brilliance of the moon and the twinkling of the stars.

Almost all the opponents that he faced were only late-stage Elites. There were some early-stage Commanders but those still proved to be of no challenge.

"I'll be meeting stronger opponents, I'll be meeting stronger opponents," Nexus mumbled. He thought that it'll improve his luck in finding competent enemies.

He jumped from rooftop to rooftops, but all he could sense nearby were late Elite stage creatures.

Just as he was about to sit and wait for the nagas and other creatures to come to him, he sensed two powerful kappas around 10 kilometers away from him. 

The kappas were currently still in the sea, but they were nearing the boulevard at high speed.

'Finally, something good came out of the water.' Nexus smiled as went to the boulevard.

His eyes glowed purple as he sped up. He made sure to meet them a bit further away from the boulevard as he doesn't want reinforcements that came out of the water to interrupt their fight.

Nexus waited. He looked in the direction where the kappas were currently speeding. His face remained calm. It was as if he wasn't going to fight.

The two kappas soon jumped out of the water. 

The Kappa who jumped out first was blue in color. He stood around 4 feet tall. On his right hand was a thin straight blade. 

The blue kappa looked to the water, his shell faced Nexus.

Rippled were then formed from the water and soon a figure jumped out of it.

A green-colored kappa landed beside the blue one. He also wielded a sword on his right hand and stood around 4 feet tall.

"So these are the ones I have to face?" Nexus thought.

-----

Koga the blue kappa looked around after the green kappa landed beside him.

"Kogo, let's just keep moving forward, we need to help the others," Koga spoke.

The part of the city they were in right now was already deserted. Though there were a few people hiding as they failed to evacuate, most of those who didn't evacuate already died. Not everyone could take down early-stage Commanders and late-stage Elites

"Let's just run towards the center of this city, wherever it is. I'm sure that place has more people." Kogo spoke as he followed Koga who began walking.

"We can't be sure that no one is here." Koga's eyes were still darting around the place, making sure that there were no traps whatsoever.

Kogo was about to say something but was stopped by Koga who saw a streaking figure coming towards them.

They both jumped back and readied their stance. They lifted their swords and eyed the place where the figure landed. Glowing purple eyes stared at the two.

"You two want to fight? That's what you're here for right." The figure, Nexus, asked. The purple glow in his eyes faded.

The two kappas looked at each other.

"Yes, we did come here looking for a fight, but that's only because you despicable humans started it," Koga spoke first.

Kogo, who stood to the left of Koga, nodded. "If you didn't attack us, we would have never stepped foot here in your domain."

"Don't lump me in with those mortals." Nexus scoffed. 

Both kappas scrunched their brows in confusion. To them, Nexus definitely is human, and what did he mean by 'those mortals'? 

They both thought that this person was weird. 

"You must be one of the city's guards huh?" Koga knew from experience that people would turn the other way when they see kappas unless they are city guards.

Nexus shook his head. "I told you I'm not human."

He then looked at their swords. "You two swordsmen? Or are those just for show?"

Kogo smirked. "We are known as the twin myrmidons. Do you still think that these two swords are for show?"

Nexus dashed towards the two. He had enough small talk for the day. All he wanted now was to have a good fight against these two rank 6 Commander Stage kappas. The two never even bothered to hide their real cultivation stages.

Nexus' obsidian-colored claws went straight to Kogo.

Koga, who stood beside his twin, slashed his sword forward with his right hand. He changed his stance and stepped forward. His left hand wasn't idle. He aimed it forward as he casted a spell. 

Water appeared from his palms. He shot it forward to the concrete below Nexus' feet.

Kogo wasn't just standing either. He already jumped up in the air and tried doing a 360 degrees sword slash. 

Nexus lifted himself to avoid the water below. He doesn't know what it is but he knew it's best to keep away from it. With his left claws, he blocked Koga's thin blade. He then pushed himself forward with his telekinesis spell. His eyes glowed as his body moved a meter or two behind Kogo.

"You're pretty fast." Koga commended. 

"Pretty fast?" Nexus' left brow twitched.

"I'll show you what real fast is." Koga dashed towards Nexus. 

"Kappa's blessing"Kogo casted a water spell. It covered the ground with water, speeding up every action of Koga as long as he was stepping on the area where the spell encompasses.

Koga's sword was ready. He ran towards Nexus at extreme speed. The ground was wet, but for Koga, it wasn't the least bit slippery. He moved like a fish in water, swift.

Nexus was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to see this kind of spell here.

"Good spell," Nexus slightly nodded. He then moved back. His hands crossed as he casted a spell to control Koga's movement. He wanted to slow it down, even if it's just a bit.

Nexus did succeed, but Kogo now joined in. The kappa rushed forward, hungry for battle. 

Nexus moved. His eyes glowed purple as he tried to speed up. He controlled his body and threw himself forward towards Kogo.

It was fast, fast enough to make Koga pause. Nexus just passed by him and rushed to his twin who was behind him.

Kogo slashed forward as the man with black hair with yellow streaks in the middle neared him. 

His thin sword clashed with Nexus' claws.

Kogo smirked. He casted a water spell where he conjured three thin water needles that floated right in front of him. He then released it towards Nexus who was still gripping the blade of his sword.

Nexus controlled the water needles. The outer part of the needle was then coated with the color purple. 

He let go of the blade and turned to Koga. 

He threw his right hand forward making the water needles streak towards Koga. While he did this, he bent a little and swept Kogo with his right leg.

One of the water needles grazed Koga's right thigh. The others missed as he moved to the side.

"Who are you?" Kogo asked. He stood a few meters away from Nexus. His eyes stared at the man with obsidian-colored claws.

Koga also wanted to ask the same question. 

They can both sense that Nexus was a whole rank lower than them, but the man with black hair with yellow streaks in the middle could not only keep up with their speed but also with their strength. 

"You don't have to know who I am." Nexus barely used any of his mana in that first round of clash. He mainly used his physical attacks to strike. His mana was only used when he defended and moved at faster speeds.

"Without that spell, your speed would be nothing." Kogo scoffed. He noticed that Nexus' movements were faster whenever his eyes would glow.

"I wouldn't be using the spell you mentioned if you didn't start throwing yours first." Nexus chuckled.

As Nexus and Kogo spoke. Koga retrieved 5 daggers from his spatial ring and threw them towards Nexus.

Nexus evaded to the side. His speed, astounding. The daggers missed their target and they all hit the ground.

"You bastards are quite unscrupulous." Nexus shook his head.

"This is a fight, nothing is unscrupulous." Koga calmly spoke. 

Nexus didn't mind him anymore. He once again dashed towards Kogo. His eyes glowed purple as his whole body was covered in a purple outline for a second before it disappeared. Nexus now moved faster. His strikes, quicker.

Nexus swiped Kogo a few times. Koga, who was still behind Nexus, rushed in to help.

However, he was too late. He couldn't make it in time.

As Nexus swiped forward, the knives on the ground to his right, glowed purple. They slowly floated and streaked towards Kogo who was fully concentrated on fighting Nexus.

As the knives neared, Kogo noticed. But it was too late, the knives that Koga threw a few seconds ago now pierced Kogo's left arm, left upper hip, and the last ones were struck to the thigh.

Kogo groaned in pain as Nexus pushed the knives, which were still coated with purple, deeper into his body.
