The Cheat Seed

Chapter 55: [Duel With A God - 1]

Marcus bit his teeth as the door behind him exploded. His pupils reflected the Huge Fire wall engulfing his vision. His heart fell when he realized he wouldn't be able to..... block it.

.....

He wouldn't be able to block it.....But Rolak could.

The Ornusses jumped out of his shadow as Marcus looked at them in shock. Rolak instantly spawned his Black Hole and The Rest eight of them jumped into the Fire reducing its Area.

They had Godly durability, so it should have been nothing, but Marcus's eyes widened as he saw their skin peeling off slowly. The Fire was something more powerful than their durability.

But they still hanged on. Gritting their teeth and balling their fists. Veins bulged and ran through their burning necks. It was not in vain. The Fire slowly started drifting Closer. The way they blocked it made the fire to pass through the narrow space they let free.

Once the fire was set in the direction they wanted, all eight of them dropped with a thud on the Floor except Rolak, who had readied his black hole which was very huge now. It swallowed the incoming fire whole and shrank before vanishing with a flash.

Everything was silent. The smell of ash disturbed his nose as Marcus snapped out of his fear. The fear that he thought he lost his family. Their house was up in flames. If it weren't for the Ornusses, he was sure he might've have lost his family as well.

Marcus turned back. His parents were shocked. His Dad was holding his mom, putting up a barrier over her and his mom put up a soundproof barrier over his sisters. Albert's eyes were wide open, staring at their house which had been alright just minutes ago.

Reiren had her eyes shut close as she gripped her daughters close to her, the barrier in it's strongest form.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were ok.

"Diablo"

Marcus called out his Familiar. It was the first time he was calling his Ninety Tailed Demon Fox. The Fox emerged from the air beside him and bowed down to reach his hands.

"Yes Master??"

Diablo conversed with him telepathically.

"Take the far away, Take them to Dave and make sure no one sees you"

Marcus said.

He called the fallen eight Ornusses vmback to his shadow.

"You did a great job"

Marcus nodded at Rolak.

"Rolak, I want you to go with them"

Marcus said as pointed to Diablo who had already helped his shocked parents mount on it's back.

"Cover them from behind...This is an Order"

Marcus emphasized as he saw Rolak's face say he wanted to fight together with him.

Fight whom?, Fight The Figure standing amidst the Raging flames.

"Go Now"

Marcus shouted at Rolak who hesitated first. But later saw his Boss's ferocious eye and changed his mind.

Rolak took off with a jolt behind the galloping Demon Fox which had hid itself using its shadow technique.

Marcus stretched his spine and limbs. He removed his Hoodie and folded it nicely and placed it on a tree beside him.

His sweating Abs gleamed as the fire light hit his body. He tied his disheveled hair back into a low knot Manbun.

His eyes Glowed blood red, The rage showed clearly on his light painted face.

"Show me your Face"

Marcus said through gritted teeth.

The Fire engulfed figure raised it's hand and snapped it's burning finger. The fire was instantly put out and a man whose age couldn't be guessed stood in the middle of the rubble and debris.

He was bald, but his scalp shined brightly. His face was young but his build opposed it. He was huge. Maybe bigger than Rolak in his Ornuss Form. A White colored circle surrounded his head. It was a Halo. His Torso was naked, revealing his hard, polished abs and Huge Biceps.

How other half was.covered by a Black Pajama. His feet was covered in Diamond.

"Hm, Quite Interesting, No wonder Briskus was worried"

The Bald Man with the Halo said.

"Briskus?"

Marcus's memory struck as he remembered the story the system told him in the Dungeon.

"Yes...He sent me here to eliminate a potential threat"

The Bald man paused, A small fire emerged from his Index finger as he pointed it upwards.

"Which is....To kill you"

*BOOM*

The small fire grew into a devilish firestorm. Within seconds Marcus was engulfed by it.

"That was easy"

Baldy said as he walked back, his back turned to the burning Marcus.

"EHEM? Mr Baldy"

The Bald haloed man snapped and turned back.

His eyes widened at the sight.

Marcus was standing perfectly fine, but the fire which engulfed him, danced to his orders. It was his Element Absorption skill.

The Bald man grinned devilishly, but deep down he felt scared. That attack was not normal by any means. It could leave a whole planet behind in ashes within minutes.

"You seem worthy to know my name then"

He shouted.

"I am Naraga, The Flame Sentinel, A Lower God about to be promoted"

He pranced slowly towards Marcus, his bulky legs left craters behind.

"You aren't going to be easy, No wonder Briskus was worried, but he did the right think choosing me"

Naraga went on with his lecture.

"I'll make sure to end you quickly and...."

"BLAH BLAH BLAH, Oh will you Shut up please?? Your false praises are killing me.."

Marcus sarcastically gagged and choked his neck before getting serious.

Naraga's veins on his bald head bulged out in anger.

"How dare you cut me Midsentence???. You arrogant piece of worthless human bones"

A huge fireball left his palms as Naraga lost control over his anger. The Fireball which was double the size of the bald man in front of him destroyed everything in its path while it ravaged it's way towards Marcus.

"This is My Second Strongest attack, This has the power to destroy entire gala.."

His tongue twisted when Macus inhaled the Fireball wholly. Smoke left his ears and his nose as he exhaled.

A handsome grin flashed across his burning face.

"WEAK"

"Who are you calling weak???, You have no idea who I am!!!. I AM THE FLAME SENTINEL!!"

"I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE!!!"

Marcus boomed at him and then lowered his shoulders.

"Well if you are The Flame Sentinel then..."

Marcus's eyes glowed bright red and his God Slayer aura engulfed him around his fire.

"I am the Flame Emperor..."
