Asura Conqueror

Chapter 36: Space Pirates 2

"Shut up! Alright. Eva and I will go in the stone. Just call for me when you need help." Hurriedly said as he disappeared.

Marcus seriously nodded at Eva who still stood there.

Eva wanted to help. But she also knows that she is too weak. After a few seconds, Eva nodded back and disappeared.

Marcus changed into a normal black hooded robe. He also wore the rank 2 mask. He couldn't use vermillion lighting for now. He faced the door and took a deep breath.

"Alright boys since they're not gonna stop, show them hell!" Marcus yelled. He zipped towards the door and opened it. His arms turned red and an aura of destruction started leaking out. He proceeded to punch the person in front of him. His guards followed. He has to coordinate with the other people from the VIPs. He's sure that they also have strong bodyguards.

The hallway was littered with pirates. The once lit hallway now only had red lights coupled with the blaring sound of the alarms. They wore a black bulletproof vest and a helmet.

His eyes glowed when he saw them. He was hungry for battle. Marcus sent his fists to wherever he could see a pirate. His guards also helped but they had to work together to take one down as the lowest rank the pirate had here is rank 6 Elite. This didn't mean that the pirates didn't have members who have lower ranks though.

There were 2 early rank 1 Commanders which Marcus took quite some time to dispose of. The people he saved in the process were grateful towards him.

He directly rushed out of the hallway and found a place to change his black robes into red ones.

He knows that the cameras were down but there were still people around which was why he wore the black robes first and didn't use lightning magic when he went out the door.

He immediately rushed back into the fray. His guards weren't holding up very well as 2 of them were bloody including Ley who was on his knees. He gave them 3 pills each and 3 mana potions. They took one of the pills and a mana potion right away.

He also handed them a light-red potion "Drink this too."

The guards quickly emptied the bottle that was handed to them. Veins suddenly bulged on the sides of their forehead. They exhaled out hot air.

Marcus nodded "Good! Now you'll at least hold out against Rank 7 Elites."

They just drank something that could enhance their capabilities for an hour. Though they would never be able to get past the early Commander stages in return and their lifespans would shorten. Things you have to pay for a small boost in power for a limited time.

They encountered a few low ranked pirates along the way and one of those pirates was a Rank 2 Commander on his mid-stages roaming by himself.

'Time for some fun' Marcus dashed towards the man. He ordered his guards to go-ahead. He wants to fight head-on with this one.

Marcus' hands were still red. Vermillion colored lightning danced around it as he rushed forward.

The pirate turned his head. He was shocked by the sudden attack. Someone actually initiated a fight against him. He waved his hands and spiky vines appeared on the walls as it tried to pierce Marcus.

Marcus zipped towards the man. He threw a punch but the man's arms were covered in thick vines with spikes at the tip. The pirate used this as a weapon against Marcus. He stabbed a few times before he was able to graze Marcus. He tried chaining it but as he moved forward the floor exploded. Lighting struck him from below.

This was Marcus' new spell 'Vermillion Lightning Rune'.

Marcus of course chained his attack as he casted 'Vermillion Javelin'. He threw it to the man who was still under the effect of 'Vermillion Lightning Rune'. But the man wasn't done yet. A wall of vines appeared from the ground as it wrapped around the rank 2 Commander. Marcus' 'Vermillion Javelin' was only able to pierce it a little.

Marcus now had a severe expression on his face. There was only a bit of an opening at the center of the wrapped vines. Marcus concentrated his mana on his hands as he dodged the green whips that were coming towards him.

He tried to overload himself to cast 'Vermillion Burst'. This was one of the strongest spells in his arsenal as of the moment.

The man continued his uninterrupted attacks. Green colored vines appeared on places and tried their best to constrict, slam, and even pierce Marcus. But most of it failed. Marcus only got hit a few times but they were all futile strikes. It only made him bleed at most. He now finished preparing and is ready to throw 'Vermillion Burst.'

His eyes glowed vermillion. Marcus raised his arms and directed it at the man who was turtling. A burst of vermillion colored lightning shot out of Marcus. Bolts and bolts of lightning struck the green vines that wrapped him.

It soon broke down. It couldn't take all the hits. Seeing this, Marcus zipped forward. This was an opening. He turned back to his human form as he arrived close. His red arms were stretched forward ready to punch. The man's arms turned green again as it appeared with the intent to block. Blood dripped from the side of his mouth.

Marcus didn't stop. He continued to be on the offensive. He would sometimes turn into lightning, would sometimes throw a punch, he would also throw a couple of javelins.

"What are you?!" The man was shocked. He was the third strongest of the crew and he's reduced into this kind of state. 'Why is the ship carrying this kind of monster?'

"Your worst nightmare!" Marcus shouted as he threw the finishing blow. Destroying the man's head. He once heard this sentence being spoken in one of the books he read and thought it was cool, so he tried it out.

Marcus breathed heavily. But there was a smile on his face. He won fair and square against a rank 2 Commander. His first fight against one.

He saw that the man had a spatial ring so he grabbed it. Marcus might not be able to use it but he could give it away to his subordinates or as a prize in the future.

Marcus felt a bit exhausted but he could not just hide in the stone because if he did and they blew this place up, he'd be as good as dead together with Nexus and Eva. This is because wherever Marcus is standing, that is also where he'll come out. For example, if Marcus enters the stone in a moving car and when he comes out, he'll still be in the moving car. That means if this blows up, he'll never be able to go out again.

He looked in the direction where his guards went and heard the sound of fighting. Angry shouts, yells, and all sorts of profanities are being thrown.

Marcus' ordeal has only started.
