Chapter 219 - True Colours

"Activate ability: Spear Control"

"Ultimate combo, spear valley!"

With a loud yell, Mark activated his ability which allowed him to gain complete mind control over his spear before spinning it in circles multiple times.

After spinning for a while, the spear began to somehow multiply as it also decreased in size as it created many smaller versions of itself. At the end of it, there looked to be at least a hundred tiny specks which were all pointed at Yuki.

"Is this supposed to scare me or something?" Yuki asked in a sarcastic tone as he didn't understand what Mark gained by just multiplying the number of spears there were. The logical conclusion would have been that the spear would also lose some of its original strength. As such, to Yuki, it would feel like he was getting hit by just simple toothpicks but he would be proven wrong soon.

"You're probably thinking that because I made the size of my spears smaller, they're going to be weaker. Well I've got some news for you. My spear doesn't have strength that gets augmented with my level. As such, it would only make sense that my spear would be just a regular spear. While to you it may be a bit lacklustre, there's a reason why I specifically wanted it to be exactly like this," Mark began to speak which seemed to catch Yuki's attention as he was clearly perplexed by the words that came out of Mark's mouth but he also wanted to learn more.

After Mark had uttered his words, he took his ability showing off session a bit further as he engulfed each to his hundred spears in orange flames. However that wouldn't be the end of it either as he had an extra step to look forward to. That being his capability to also add royal blue lightning to the blade of the spears as well in turn creating a devastating combination.

"So what if your weapons are colourful now? It doesn't make them any stronger than they used to be! They're still the same useless toys you had from before!" Yuki told Mark as he didn't believe that there would be a world in which someone could create such weapons without any repercussions. 

"Just watch," said Mark with a grin as he pointed his index finger towards Yuki which forced all of his tiny spears to go flying off at the speed of lighting to make contact with Yuki's body.

"What the hell?-" Yuki began to ask himself as he barely managed to dodge a single tiny spear right before it hit him. Unfortunately for him, Mark still had plenty of left over which all managed to make cuts on Yuki's body even though he tried to dodge them all. However they weren't normal cuts as they didn't bleed. Instead, the cuts instantly closed as the heat from Mark's spears forced them to do so.

"It seems you're starting to finally get it. My strength instead derived from my physical strength. In actuality, it comes from my speed which works together with my ability," said Mark with a smirk as he brought his spears back to him so that he could prepare another attack barrage to launch at Yuki. 

"I see. That's a bit problematic. Assuming that he's telling the truth. It not only means that he has already extraordinary speed due to his ability but also is boosted by his portions. Hence with this, he would be able to make his spear stronger and faster as well if he set it to apply like that when he created his ability. Although just like everyone in this world, he has weakened," said Yuki to himself as he prepared to use the ability of his own.

"Activate ability: Fire Control"

Using his ability, Yuki began to shroud the room in flames which had 2 purposes.

"So you're trying to burn me with these flames? You're underestimating me quite a lot if you think something without any real substance like this would be able to actually injure me," said Mark as he arrogantly made his spears spread out through the whole room as they attacked anything. They didn't even show mercy to Mark's comrades as they attacked them just as they would have done to Yuki.

Seeing as they were also in danger, they grabbed whatever was in the room to protect themselves against the blades such as grabbing the couches and tables and turning them so that they would turn into shields. 

"He's absolutely brutal to even his own men. How senseless," said Yuki without realizing that his ideology had changed. He had just admitted to the fact that he believed that group leaders should be responsible for protecting their subordinates. What this meant for Scar and Avila, only time would tell.

"Where are you?! Show yourself already!" Mark demanded as he was growing tired of attacking in random places.

"Try to calm yourself. There's no need to yell," said Yuki as he appeared right in front of Mark while pointing his index finger on his enemy's forehead as if it were in a gun's motion.

"Where the hell did you come from?" Mark asked with fear and confusion in his eyes as he thought that he must've struck Yuki at least once during his barrage of small spears, however there didn't look to be even a single extra scratch on Yuki's body other than the ones he had first received when Mark first revealed his ability. 

"Bang," said Yuki quite literally as he moved his hand in a motion which signified that he had fired a gun just like a child would motion as if they were playing with a real gun while only using their imagination. However the attack that Yuki used wasn't an imaginary one as it had quite the real consequences on Mark's body.

After the attack which Yuki landed, Mark instantly passed out and landed to the floor at which all his small spears also fell to the ground before going back towards a single spear and changing back to one large spear instead of a lot of small ones.

"I didn't actually think that would work. I had wanted to try that for quite a long time but never really got the chance as if it would have failed, I would have died in the dungeons. Who would've known that after activating my flame control ability, I could actually turn myself into flames itself and merge with the environment I created. That's actually pretty cool," Yuki thought to himself with a smirk as the rest of the FFF members started to come out of hiding as the spears had stopped moving and Yuki's flames had finally gone out.

"Oh you guys are still here? I guess I better take care of you as well. Wait, where's Batol? I still need to get my revenge on him," Yuki asked as he looked around to try to find Batol, who looked completely physically and mentally exhausted.

"Found you! Now let me beat you up before you leave," Yuki requested with an innocent smile on his face.

"Sorry, I'm completely done for. I refuse to go on with this battle. I'll be heading back to my clan. However just before I leave though I must ask. Did you kill Mark?" Batol asked while taking a few breaks in between his breaths as his chest felt heavier than it usually did as he still hadn't recovered from pushing himself so far to keep up with Yuki.

"Kill him?! Do you want me to be some kind of monster?! There's no way I would kill him. All I did was infuse his brain with so much head that it wouldn't have any other option but to completely crash and knock him out. Don't worry though, he'll be back to normal in a day or two," said Yuki as he watched Batol sigh as if he was disappointed that Mark was still alive.

It made sense though as Mark was stealing all the spotlight in FFF from Batol.

"Okay men, grab him as well and let us head out from here. We don't have any business remaining here anymore," said Batol as he watched two of the 10 members which had come to attack Arthur went up to the unconscious body of Mark and picked him up before he prepared to leave the room.

"Huh? You really think you'll be able to get out of here without a fight?!" Yuki asked as he began to laugh hysterically which sounded even a bit evil.

"I'm not your nonchalant guy who'll let you assassins just come and attack my clan leader and just walk away so that you can attempt it another day. I really have duties here. I have a job to do and that job is to make sure none of you walk out of this room. Got it?!" Yuki asked in a rather immature tone as he cracked his knuckles in preparation to start killing all of the assassins.

"Janitor Yuki, reporting for clean up duty!" Yuki yelled out.
