Asura Conqueror

Chapter 17: Chamber



Eva and Nexus went out of the gate.

Unfortunately, the guards didn't live to tell the tale. They were all sprawling on the ground. Dead.

Krieg looked at Eva. The lustful look in his eyes faded. There was only fear, sadness, and resentment.

"Let's go in." Nexus said.

Marcus nodded and began to walk. "But first let's find an alley. There might be people crowding when we get back and they'll see us. But I'm sure the people inside the apartment complex are too afraid to look at their windows."

"Don't worry about that, I'm 100% sure no one saw," Nexus assured him.

"In? In where?" Eva looked at them with a puzzled expression while walking to an alley.

After saying that she found herself in a room. There was a couch nearby and with a red carpet underneath and a coffee table close to it. The room was decorated pretty well and most of them were wooden furniture.

"Welcome to our sweet abode." Nexus said while floating at the side of Eva.

"I'm sure this is all new to you and it might take some time adjusting to everything Nexus said and proposed." Marcus who was currently holding Krieg by the hair said.

Eva just nodded and looked at the place. She was amazed, to say the least, and also had a few questions.

Nexus smiled seeing her like that then he turned towards Marcus and said "Oh, and tada."

Nexus glowed, he assumed the shape of a human. Who had black hair, with yellow strands in the middle. He looked pretty handsome with his square jaw.

"Since when can you turn into a human? Did you make a breakthrough?" Marcus asked.

"Hold your horses there kid. No, I didn't make that kind of breakthrough if that's what you're thinking. My strength is totally dependent on you for now. If you grow stronger then I grow stronger. Even though my perception is powerful, that doesn't mean I'm magically strong or something. And I know what you're going to ask and it's a no. My perception is strong not because my soul or spirit is strong. It's just a race thing." Nexus explained.

"Well, that's still pretty amazing. Oh damn, what are we gonna do about this guy? Bring him to the chamber then what?" Marcus asked since it was getting pretty tiring clutching this guy's hair.

"I'll take him off your hands." Nexus smiled in a devilish way.

"I'll tour Eva around then," Marcus said, tossing Krieg over to Nexus.

Krieg couldn't process what they were saying. His head was currently in a mess. First, they were on the streets then they appeared in a room. He felt that these people were part of a cult.

Nexus caught him and walked away, he paused and turned to look at Eva and said "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Eva nodded and said "mm"

Nexus then kept walking 'Fuck Nexus say something better next time, or cooler. I'm 5000 years old. I should at least be able to do that.'

Eva found what he did kind of weird but right at the same time.

"Big Sis, Nexus will have to take care of that. In the meantime, let's look around the house. We won't be sleeping here tonight though and will be going back to the hotel."

"Alright little brother, lead the way," Eva said.

"It must have been quite shocking," Marcus said while walking.

Eva shook her head "Quite is an understatement. Especially when that cat turned into a human. It's just gonna take some time to get used to that's all."

Marcus nodded. This was one mature woman who knows how to adapt pretty quickly. he stopped outside of a door and opened it and they both went in "This is the place where potions, pills are crafted. To that side are where they are stored. You will be taking a lot of these in the next couple of days."

Eva got intoxicated by the aroma of the room. Even the smell alone can make the mana inside her body tranquil.

"You should also call your sister," Marcus suggested.

"We won't be able to contact her right now. She's on her way to a 2nd rate country and will be teaching at a university. Though she won't start right away since she has to do a bit of training first." Eva proudly said.

Marcus and Eva went out of the Alchemy Room and headed towards where the bedrooms are located. There are plenty of bedrooms and Marcus wanted his new sister to pick a room where she would be staying when they need to be in here for long periods of time.

"You must be really close with your sister," Marcus asked

"Yes, she's the only family I have left," Eva said.

Marcus slightly smiled, arriving in front of a door, he opened it. On the bed, there was a cute girl with chubby cheeks and vermilion hair who's sound asleep.

"This is one of the two who I have left. My little sister Carmen."

Eva's eyes lit up upon seeing the cute girl. They both walked into the room.

"Good evening baby. Remember when I told you earlier that we have a big sister now. Look who I brought." Marcus said while standing beside the bed indicating that Eva should be the one sitting down.

Eva who sat down beside Carmen looked at her peaceful sleeping face and smiled beautifully "Looks like I now have two sisters and one rascal of a brother."

"Hey what rascal are you talking about?" Marcus laughed. He missed having a family. The kind of which you can talk to them, cry with them, play with them, and laugh with them without any restraints.

-----------------------

Nexus dragged Krieg and entered one of the doors. They went inside a poorly lit place. It looked like a dungeon with cells placed at the side. There were also places where deep holes are placed and not cells.

Nexus got a rope and tied him.

"What are you gonna do? You bastards do you know how powerful my gang is? If they find out about thi--" Nexus threw Krieg down an empty hole before he even got to finish what he had to say.

"You talk too much." Nexus said as he went to a nearby lever.

Snakes suddenly appeared in the hole.

"Listen, and listen well you little shit. Those are called Topaz Snakes. They are not lethal but they do damage your body little by little making you feel a world of pain. After always getting 'gnawed' by them, your soul will start to slowly get damaged. But that's not the fun part. The fun part is, that hole has a mechanism that heals you every 24 hours. Your soul, however, won't get healed, and only your body. Also whenever it feels that you are about to die, it heals you again. That means you'll experience the whole ride until your souls disappear." Nexus slowly while having a smile plastered on his face.

Krieg's eyes went wide and shouted "No, you can't. If you want, just kill me. Please just kill me. NOOO!"

"You should have thought twice before having those thoughts about Eva! Now you want to beg for an easy death? Rot! rot in there and hope that I won't be bored and come back to make things a lot more fun." Nexus raised his voice a bit and then walked away

Nexus shut the door.

------------------------------

"I would like my room to be this one since it is just in front of Carmen's bedroom," Eva said.

"Alright," Marcus replied.

Nexus strolled in "It's taken care of."

Eva got curious and was about to ask but Nexus cut her off.

"No, you don't need to know right now."

"Now that everything is settled here, let us go back to the hotel. Big Sis, you need to book one of the most expensive suites and enjoy life. Money is not a problem anymore." Marcus said.

"You also don't have to be reserved anymore in spending. Order whatever you want and of course, you have to resign tomorrow since we have to start training. I already a great technique that will fit you well." Nexus didn't turn back into his cat form.

Eva smiled when she heard those. Fate really turns things around when you least expect it.

With a thought, they all arrived back in the alley where they left.

Sure enough, there were people crowding the place where the apartment complex was.

It was already 11 at night so there weren't that many people but it was still a few dozen.

Marcus and the other two went on their way and hoped to find a ride right away.

"See this is why we should get a car." Nexus said.

"We'll be leaving for the 2nd rate countries soon, let's just buy there." Marcus agreed to buy one. He really needed a ride.

Eva just quietly walked beside Nexus. There were a lot of things going on in her mind.
