Chapter 25

Chapter 25

"Ughh… where am I?"

In the sea of dust, a voice was heard. The wind blew the dust away, revealing a figure of a young boy. He was battered and injured, blood flowed from his lips, his clothes were torn apart, parts of his body were black and blue, bruised.

But what caught their attention the most was the various weapons piercing him like spikes on a porcupine.

"W-who are you?" Harumi asked warily. The young boy looked her straight in the eye but didn't speak.

When her eyes met the young boy's, she felt her entire body being pierced by lightning, as if she was looking straight at the eye of a thunderstorm. His eyes were cloudy yet sparked with danger. Yuki, on the other hand, barely lifted her head from Harumi's embrace to see what was happening. When she saw the young boy's severely battered figure, a look of horror dawned on her.

'How could a human withstand such pain?' She thought.

"P-please h-help us…" Harumi begged, knowing she was being selfish, as the one she's asking for help is in need of help more than them. But she was scared for her life.

"T-taku-kun? Where is he?" Yuki asked worriedly, scanning her eyes around the battlefield, only to see Taku's injured body away from them beneath the feet of the Red Oni. Her eyes widened from shock. In her eyes, Taku was always this strong and dependable figure. To see him on the ground helpless was something new for her.

"Taku!" She shouted, which once again ignited the flame from the Blue Oni.

"HUMAN MEAL SO NOISY!!" The Blue Oni raised its club and struck it down from where Yuki and Harumi stood.

"HARUMI! YUKI!" Taku cried.

"Tsk, so damn noisy," the injured boy suddenly said as he pointed his bleeding arm at the Blue Oni and released a lightning strike.

BOOM!

CACKLE!

Before anyone could react, the Blue Oni was already killed, a huge gaping hole causing it. Neither Taku, Harumi, nor Yuki had ever guessed that the boy in a more precarious situation than them would be this powerful.

Gasp!

'How strong!' Taku inwardly thought, shocked to the core.

'What was that?' Yuki thought.

'I-is he a descendant of Susanoo?' Harumi thought, recalling the lightning strike the young boy so callously tossed. In the Japanese Pantheon, there are only two types of beings that could use lightning, Susanoo's children or the child of Lightning Kamis. From the level of power the young boy showed, he was most likely a child or a descendant of Susanoo.

She was shocked. Taken aback. Because if that was true, then they should be kneeling to the ground right now, prostrating before him.

"NOOOO! BLUE BROTHER!" The Red Ogre cried.

"You killed my brother! You took everything away from me!" He lost his meal, and now he lost his brother. He may be dumb and an absolute buffoon, but he is aware when he has lost something.

"I don't even know who you are," the other replied, flinging another lightning bolt and killing the remaining ogre.

"Ughh… so… tired…" And then just after demolishing the two ogres, he succumbed to his fatigue and fell to the ground. Harumi was shocked, but thankfully she was close enough to run and catch him.

"Thank God… no… thank you…"

Marcus's POV

"Ughhh…" I groaned as I opened my eyes, only to see an unfamiliar ceiling. I tried to move my body, but it ached all over, and I couldn't even feel my toes.

"Oh yeah, that happened," feeling the injury in my body, I was reminded of my unfortunate situation that led me to this state. I furrowed my eyes and stared up, reminiscing what transpired.

just thinking about it boils my blood. How dare that blonde cock sucker ruin my life. I swear to whatever river or gods you believe in, I will have your head served on a silver platter.

But being angry won't help me achieve anything, so I took a deep breath and assessed my situation. My last memory was something about me killing some blue and red monsters, with people in there too, but my memory is too blurry.

"Sigh…." I sighed.

Suddenly, a smirk appeared on my face. They may have reduced me to this state, but in this situation, I got the upper hand. Their oh-so-precious master bolt is nothing now but an empty can.

"Hehe…haha… Haha… HAHAHAHAHA!"

"OGAGAHAHAHAHAHAHA….. Ugh! COUGH! Cough! Fuck…" My laughter of madness was interrupted by my cough.

"So much for the strongest weapon in existence." The current master bolt right now doesn't even have half of its true power, since before I threw it away, I absorbed about 80% of it.

Now that I think about it, what if I truly become a thief? I mean, if Luke could easily steal the greatest weapon in existence, then maybe I could steal all the other symbols of power.

"Now that would be a sight, won't it?" Sometimes speaking to myself helped me calm my nerves down.

The door suddenly opened, and three individuals came in. I raised my eyebrow at their arrival and scanned their appearance.

One was a cute girl with a petite body and short black hair, the other female was about 17 years old with a respectable bust size, she had long bluish hair and beautiful brown eyes. And last but not least, it was a boy with brown spiky hair, kinda similar to those in anime, he had a sword hanging around his waist.

"Ah! You're finally awake!" The brown-haired dude said, walking closer to me, followed by the two.

"Thank you very much for saving us!" He bowed to me.

"T-thank you!" The cute petite girl followed too, and the same goes for the busty one.

"We are really thankful for saving us. If you didn't save us, we wouldn't be alive anymore to see our families," the busty girl said to me. I could feel gratefulness from her words. I didn't really mean to save them, but it was nice knowing that I somehow helped them, even if unintentionally.

"Nah, it's okay," I said, waving my arms. I don't really care what I did for them, but I guess I should be thankful too since they are the ones that brought me here.

"Please accept my gratitude," the brown-haired dude said.

"For saving my life, I, Taku Ashikage, the Heir of the Ashikage Clan, swear to my name and to my honor that I would do anything to repay you for saving us!" Taku brought down his knees and slammed his head into the ground.

Followed by him was the cute petite girl, who bowed cutely.

"T-thank you very much! I promise I'll do anything to repay you for saving me, Taku-kun and Harumi-onee-san!"

"I am forever in your debt," the busty girl said.

"Yeah, yeah, I get you are all grateful and stuff but would you mind introducing yourself first? It's kinda awkward,"
