Chapter 104: Let's Begin Demons!!

Ere"Oi Oi Marcus... If it's over, can you come down?. Let's get this over with"

The Inner Demon poked his ears and looked at Marcus who was adoring something imperceptible to his eyes.

"Yea yea... I'm coming... By the way, you won't believe what I just got"

Marcus said as he jumped from the 15 meter statue. He landed safely on the ground and seemed to grin smugly.

But that was then when he realized something.

He realized something that he ignorantly let go through his mind.

He was oblivious of the fact that he had no powers... Which meant if he landed from that height, then his legs should have at least sprained if not broken.

He recollected his memories back to a minute when the Demon called him down. It was as if he knew, Marcus would jump without hesitating. It was as if some part of his plan had worked successfully.

["Oi Oi Marcus... If it's over, can you come down?. Let's get this over with"]

"What did he mean by that?"

Marcus could only think as a sudden shift of air thrust his spine.

The demon was right in front of him, then who was it??.

"I said let's end it Marcus... I've had enough of playing as your system administrator."

That was when it struck him yet again. The cold rod of realization and the hot rod of reflex as he remembered what the demon had said to him.

Marcus held the hard obsidian fist of his demon which was about to strike his spine. He clutched it hard as he realized what the demon wanted. Marcus had successfully blocked the demon's attack, that too one from his blind spot.

The Powers!! THEY WERE BACK!!.

And right now, the demon had used his skill to replicate and create a clone.

But the only flaw in the plan or it would be better to say, he ran out of luck, because...

Marcus got his powers back as well.

....

The cloned demon, in reflex, pulled his hand away from Marcus and jumped back 10 meters away...

It planned on creating some distance between him and Marcus.

It at least tried to create some considerable distance from its target...

but it was in vain...

Just as Marcus realized his powers were back, he whizzed through the air and without any hesitation slit the throat of the obsidian rock clone which was about to land on the ground behind him with just his fingers.

His speed was terrifying, even for the real inner demon, it all seemed quite...impressive to him.

"Then let's end it here inner demon... You want some fun after being trapped and closed for 18 years don't you?"

Marcus chuckled, but it was clear that the tone of voice in which he spoke portrayed immense anger.

"Sure, Kekekekkkk..."

The demon's laugh was ear piercing as he let it out while spreading his hands forward and bending backward, facing the roof with his terrifying eyes and black red obsidian face.

"But before that.!! Let's just call the mastermind behind the plan!!! Oii!! Flame bastard, you coming out or what??"

The demon etched his eyes onto Marcus, who for some reason, didn't seem surprised as much as the demon thought he would be.

"Pyraze... he's calling out to you."

Marcus smirked.

Just as both of them called out for the flame berserker, a terrifying aura befell on the surrounding. Of course, it wasn't enough to break a sweat from Marcus, but it would have crushed a country if it was a tad bit more than how much Marcus was enduring now.

Marcus's body erupted into flames just as the aura multiplied. A hand emerged out from Marcus's bare chest, It was an appalling scene to behold. A hand striped with black and grey rings but covered with lava emerged from the very center of his chest, it was almost as if it emerged from Marcus's heart.

But as for our hero?.

He wasn't fazed by it at all.

Instead, Marcus broke the slow motion entry of The obvious, Flame Berserker, by yanking him out of his body with his bare hands.

The entry of the flame berserker would have been noted down in history as the coolest if it weren't for Marcus pulling him out with a grin.

Now that would possibly get him the highest spot in the failed entry compilations.

The Flame Berserker who fell face first into the rocky ground got up with a handstand as if that's what he was trying to achieve from the beginning itself.

"Marcus!!... This is me The Flame Berserker!!"

He said.

Marcus trained his eyes over the body of the so called Flame Berserker who revealed himself for the first time before Marcus.

He was truly fit to be named after 'Flame'.The entire body of the berserker was made out of melting lava and diamond. The lava made 70% of his body whereas the diamond acted as adding detail to his body structure and acted as defense as well.

Dozens of black grey rings ran themselves around the berserker's body as they added more detail to the looks of the lava.

As Marcus stared at the duo of demons in front of him, he knew that they were a force to be reckoned with.

But...

"Marcus, do you know wh...."

"I know why you did this... and I'll thank you for that as well"

Marcus interrupted the demon's words as he spoke his heart out.

"I mean like it should have been obvious to me. That obsidian dude kept on foreshadowing about your identity as if you were a badass... I mean like I know that I only have another demon inside me, that was you and Qilin is a spirit. So finding it out was actually easy"

Marcus chuckled.

"You say finding me out was easy... but do you know why I told him to do this"

The Flame Berserker began his words yet again as he pointed his finger at the obsidian wrapped demon.

"Yep. Every demon who wants its host to power up and strengthen himself to an extent that he defies logic would only want him to experience hell to achieve that. That's a Fact."

Marcus grinned as he cracked his finger and stretched his neck.

"How could you do this to me??... My dialogues!! They were supposed to be badass, but you ruined it!!"

The Flame Berserker pouted.

"Hehe?... You are a Tsundere alright!!... Now let's go guys!! Time to check my new power!!!. You people were waiting for a decent fight weren't you??"

Marcus rotated his hands as he opened up his inventory.

The gift capsules opened themselves to his eyes and he peered at them for a second before moving his eyes towards the demons in front.

"You still have to taste defeat, don't you??... Inner Demon??... and you berserker?? a decent fight. So I'll give you both one... Especially one sprinkled with salt... and defeat"

Marcus closed his eyes as he went still at his place.

Both of the demons shot themselves a look and nodded.

They charged their body up for a strong attack and both of them seemed to have a good synergy between them as they connected the sides of their palms and charged up a huge black ball which was bigger than a 6 feet man.

"You'll die in this pathetic state of your Marcus..."

The Inner Demon chuckled...

"Hm??... Are you sure about that??"

Marcus's voice was like a striking bell to the demons as they almost lost balance because of the pressure Marcus gave out.

"I got something you never would have expected me to receive my demons!!"

"USE ALL"

[Using all of the gift capsules]

Author notes.

I've got nothing else to say other than apologies for being a lazy bum and not uploading for almost a month. But I've got my reasons as well. I had exams and they were strangling me but thankfully they got extended.

And the other reason is that I'm writing new work and I've already written about 30 chapters for it. Hunters Royale is my new work and I would love it if you could check it out. I am even recruiting readers to discord who wants to create their own character for the story.

So that's all, Thank you.
