Chapter 51: a monster and a man

"Hah...hah"

Elaine had to take a moment to catch her breath as her legs were on the verge of collapsing. Although dark bloods of the fourth generation like Elaine are built too have limitless stamina able to go on months without food, water or even sleep for that matter the same couldn't be said for their mental fortitude, mana pool and stress handling abilities since the concentration of drugs in their bodies aren't as high as later gens like Markus.

""Need a minute?""

Markus turned towards his enemy and simply asked, he hadn't been talking for a while now so it was surprising to see him speak.

"Don't patronize me!"

Elaine just hatefully stared at her opponent knowing not what to do nor say.

"Just what kind of h*ll pit did a monster like you crawl out from?!"

Elaine angrily demanded an answer.

""Do you only know how to ask that one type of question? What are you? A parrot?""

Markus was unfazed and remained adamant about not revealing anything about himself.
