Asura Conqueror

The trio finished eating their dinner and went to do their own activities. Marcus went to his room to cultivate since he wants to find a way to train Chaos Magic, Eva went into the Destrucstone, and Nexus, well, Nexus is not on the couch. He's not even in the house.

He's currently making his way on the streets of Estra. The bright moon hung in the sky and the cold wind breeze made his robe sway. There were only a few people left on the streets and even fewer cars.

Nexus's steps were slow as he walked on the stone pavement. His soul sense is currently locked in on Kleid, the person they met in Waypons earlier today.

Kleid just like this morning has no bodyguards. He thinks that no one would touch him here in Estra because of his family and his family's connections.

He's currently staying at a nearby motel. Yes, a motel and not a hotel. The woman he was going to fuck right now was an actress and she asked if it would be okay if they go to a secluded motel near the sea instead of a fancy hotel. She doesn't want to be seen by other people.

She, of course, didn't want to do this. But she had no choice as she needed her acting career to improve so that she'll be able to feed her brothers and sisters.

Kleid started stripping first and was already on the bed. The actress asked to first go to the shower and take a bath, but in truth, she just wanted to cry.

A few minutes later, she calmed herself down and went out of the shower, wearing only the lingerie that Kleid ordered her to.

She was so nervous and she wanted to run away. She cursed her life for being so unfair.

She opened the door. To her surprise, there was no one there. She went closer to and stood at the side of the bed and found a spatial ring on top of a note. She picked it up and read it.

'I loved Fancy Cops. It was a good series. The money in the ring is a little something for keeping entertained. Uhm, go into business and invest in a new bar that'll open soon just beside the boulevard. Hmm, or it might be a nightclub. The owner's name is Eva. The reason I'm saying this is because you're not good at acting, to be more honest, you suck at it. Anyway, I'll be borrowing the bastard who was on your bed for a while. Wait, I mean taking. You won't be seeing this guy anymore. Go fuck someone you love. P.S. Burn the letter after reading or else I'll also be taking your head next. I'm just kidding, or not.'

Maya finished reading the note. She couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. Just a moment ago she was sure that she'd have to give up her purity to the man who brought her here.

Calming down her emotions she read the note one more time. At the bottom of it was a single word which was '-Nexus'

She bound the spatial ring and checked the contents. Before she could react to anything else, she began crying on the floor, weeping.

She was one of the main actresses of 'Fancy Cops', an indie film that didn't really make it out there.

A few minutes later, she stood up, changed, placed the note in her pocket, and went out of the hotel room.

On a yacht, Nexus stood on the starboard. There were a few people who were unconscious on the floor. There was also a naked man with a terrified look on his face, his shaking eyes locked on Nexus

Nexus already removed his mask and was now only wearing his black robes.

Under the pale moonlight, Nexus looked at the man. The stationary yacht swayed as the waves crashed on it.

"You?!" Kleid shouted as he tried to get back on his feet.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was the man who he saw in Waypons earlier. The man who he thought was a pleb.

"Before the pain starts do you have any last words?" Nexus asked as he walked towards the man. Nexus was holding a plastic half filled with salt.

"Don't come any closer! Or else, I swear to god I'll make you regret doing this!" Kleid was able to stand back up. He slowly stepped back.

But where could he go? They were in the middle of the vast sea, and there's no one around for miles and miles. Nexus was not worried he would scream, because even if he would, not a single soul would hear him.

Nexus chuckled and shook his head. "You just wasted your words with empty threats!"

He dashed towards Kleid. His nails turned into claws and he scratched Kleids face a couple of times before placing his head in the plastic.

There was absolutely no resistance. None whatsoever.

Kleid already started screaming.

Nexus grabbed one of his legs and floated about a meter. He made sure not to waste the salt just yet.

As Nexus moved closer to the edge of the boat, he began scratching parts of Kleid's body before dipping both head and body in the sea. He stopped floating and landed back on the boat's floor.

Nexus stood there looking at the horizon while holding Kleid's leg.

A few seconds later, he raised him. His bloody body was drenched in seawater. The salt was sticking to the claw wounds that Nexus inflicted on his face.

"Did you know that a long time ago, a human fisherman survived at sea for 14 days straight by just drinking his own pee?" Nexus dropped him again.

A couple of seconds later he raised him back up.

"Well, that was him having a boat. I wonder how many days it will take you before you'll die. Hmm, I don't wanna play that game. I'd rather play this." Nexus once again dipped him in the ocean.

This lasted for a couple of hours before Nexus placed Kleid back on the ship. He removed the plastic from his head. Kleid was weakly breathing. He stopped screaming a long time ago. Nexus made sure Kleid would not die. He was very careful about it.

"You know, mortals are quite fun. They're delightful beings. I personally like the movies and series they make. Hell, I even have a mortal friend. Wait, no, she's my wife's friend and she's pretty cool. Anyway, the point is, some mortals think they're already bigshots but in truth, they are just frogs in a well. Kudos to you though, you entertained me quite a bit tonight. The anger I felt this morning has subsided and I've got no use for you now." As Nexus finished speaking he thrust his right hand up Kleid's chest and crushed his heart. Nexus threw the heart in the sea and washed his hand afterward.

He checked his watch. 'Damn, I already missed a couple of minutes, I gotta hurry.'

Inside the house.

Nexus turned the tv on as he sat on the couch while hugging a pillow. He was now wearing a thin grey long sleeve and boxer shorts
