The Cheat Seed

Chapter 49

It was the Zeus's Lighning bolt.

..........

Marcus was thankful to the lightning bolt he was holding in his hand now. It was his regular habit now....To check whatever he had in the Inventory, just for his sake and Voila, he noticed the Lightning Bolt which he had got recently.

Now that he thought about it, this weapon was good, too good that it blew away nine God Slayer Prime ranked Monsters.

The lightning which just went all out wasn't even an attack!. It was caused when he pulled it out of his inventory.

It probably had the Explosive Entry Buff.

Marcus nodded, He knew the consequences if he pulled this out in a crowd. So he carefully placed it back to his inventory with utmost care.

*Flash*

*Bunch*

*Clack*

Marcus snapped at the sound and turned. All nine of them had their head down, bowing to him as they knelt, their bare knees on the Rocky uneven Floor.

Marcus, with a proud and a smug look made his way to Rolak. He patted his shoulders, then shot a glance to his right and left. They were hunching their head very low as if they had done a very atrocious

crime.

"You guys did a very good job"

Marcus chuckled as he said.

"Trust me when I say this, You guys CAN! beat me one day...But for now...Stand up and stand straight.."

The Ornusses raised their head slowly, their eyes showed Guilt as well as Respect. Marcus smiled and stepped back, his hand motioned them to stand.

They stood up with a jolt, together they cried out in unison.

"We are Sorry Master"

"Ah, It's okay.."

"And Btw don't call me master"

"Sorry Mas...um..um...BOSS!!"

Destro stuttered as he spoke.

"That's better"

Marcus chuckled.

..........

After sitting down together and talking about power levels they finally decided to travel to the next trial Dungeon.

"All right, boys..."

Marcus turned and faced the black abyss.

"Let's get your Rides"

*WHOOSH*

The Ornusses shrank and went inside Marcus's shadow as they turned into wisps. As they were summons, they could be called back any time He wanted.

But even though they were summons, Marcus wasn't going to keep them in shadows all the time. He thought about giving them their own lives when they reached home and promised them that he would only under special circumstances would call them back to his shadow.

He remembered the system saying he could travel through his memories 3 times Maximum a day. What he was planning now was to hit 2 birds with one stone.

When he confirmed his summons were all set inside his shadow, Marcus thought about the second trial Dungeon and...

"REGRESS!"

*BLINK*

*FLASH*

His vision blanked and his memory puffed. Marcus felt his stomach churning as he traveled through his memories.

With another one of those flashes his vision returned. His eyes opened to a tree. A calm breeze swayed the leaves and the dry ones fell slowly towards him.

He grinned as he remembered the woods and his time here. Thankfully he did not had to worry about the Marcus in the memory. He had made sure to regress back to the memory where He fought the Ninety Tailed Demon Fox.

He didn't have any plans to capture the Ninety Tailed Demon Fox, because it could possibly break his memory, leaving him paralyzed and trapped inside the same memory loop till he died along with his memory.

He also didn't have to hunt the other Nine tailed Demon Foxes, because he knew very well where their dead bodies were.

His legs vanished along with his body as he passed trees after trees, smoothly transitioning through the leaves, crunching none. His Kimono waved behind him and his hair swayed along. His Shadow pranced behind him as the Artificial sun glared at him.

He found the first body 20 meters away from his regress point.

"Resurrect"

He snapped his fingers.

The Carcass listened to his call and the soul shook and transformed into a black wisp which soon took form of the Nine tailed fox, Its Shadow Tails waved frantically behind it as it sat in front of it's Master.

Marcus took a broken twig and threw it somewhere into the woods.

"Fetch"

Marcus chuckled. He hadn't ever played with a dog before. But he remembered the word, Gabriel used to say that always when he mocked him.

He shook of his gathering anger and grinned. It was all gonna end tomorrow anyway, when he'll whoop Gabriel's ass in front of The King and his father.

The Fox had already come back with thousands of twigs while he thought about his fight tomorrow. Marcus laughed at it and patted its head. That's what they do right?...Head Pats??.

The Fox took it seriously and all 9 of it's tails shook in light speed, blowing the trees and dust behind it to oblivion.

"Shit...Kekekek"

His snort echoed through the woods behind him. The leaves shook once again and some fell down to the cluster of leaves under him.

Marcus's relaxed expression soon changed to urgency. He knew his body, undefended was outside in the open night breeze. Anything could happen. Who knows, he could be even dead by now and living as a soul inside his own memory.

"Come out Boys"

He shook off his bad thoughts. His shadow rippled and 9 of them came out of it as black wisps and soon took their form.

"Rolak.."

Marcus said, his head sideways and his eyes in the corner gazing at Rolak.

"This is yours"

"Yes Boss"

Came the fast reply.

"Rest of you guys spread out and bring me the rest of the bodies, I've already sent the location inside your mind"

It was possible, being a Summoner, Marcus could easily converse with them through telepathy no matter how far they were. His summons were also special, they were resurrected Monsters, so they had an extra experience multiplier unlike the Ordinary summons.

He stopped his Crew once again as they were about to set out. He had just remembered about it...

"and remember....no one is going towards the temple!"

There was a pause for second but the reply came just as the second ended.

"Yes boss"

The Squad was soon let loose into the woods. Marcus watched Rolak playing with the Fox. He had already tamed it and The Fox seemed to have hit it off with The Ornus too. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Boss, I'll call him Kai"

Rolak said, a sweet smile across his face.

"Good"

Marcus flashed a smile back and nodded.

"But how are we goi...."

His words cut off in the middle as the leaves rustled and the eight of them returned, Holding a Dead fox each.

Marcus was quick with his mind as he resurrected the other eight foxes. Soon all of them bad their own pets. But now came the question.

"But boss, Where are supposed to keep them though??..After all we are just summons"

Destro asked.

Rolak nodded in agreement, He meant to ask that as well.

Marcus smirked.

"That's simple.."

His smirk shifted to a chuckle.

"I discovered the race..Adding Extra features to you guys is one of the Founder's ability"

The Ornusses looked surprised.

"Now try calling them to you own shadows"

They did as he said without a complaint.

The Fox melted into a black wisps and slowly whooshed into their shadows.

"It worked!!!"

Sinzo cried.

"Of course it does, hehe"

They had pets and they had powers, Now the only thing they needed were costumes.

Marcus thought for a second. His inner bulb flashed soon after.

"I saw this on the system's merch shop"

Marcus said as he snapped his fingers.

The Ornusses startled as their loincloth changed into a....pant.

"Camo pants"

He brought his fingers together yet again and snapped.

White sleeveless undershirts appeared and fitted perfectly over their polished body, it even revealed their 8 packed abs.

(The Ten pack were reduced to 8 when they changed to humans)

Another snap echoed through the woods and perfectly black boots covered their bare feet.

Marcus smiled and brought his palms together into a clap.

"Just what you needed..Now, you look like Soldiers!!"

"Thank you very much boss"

They cried out in unison and bowed. They looked very happy. It was the first time they were getting something proper to wear.

"Ah, Haha....Welcome..Welcome...Let's go back alright?"

Marcus snickered at the looks on their faces. They goddamn looked funny when they were extremely happy.

"Yes boss"

"Yea..."

Marcus said.

Wind whistled and leaves fell. Nothing happened after a whole minute.

The Ornusses looked at their boss who was staring hard into the ground In a way such that he would pierce straight through the land.

"Um Boss?"

Rolak asked confused.

"Ah.."

Marcus snapped, life returned to his eyes.

"The thing is...I don't know how to go back"

.............. [WAIT A MINUTE]

[JUST SAY 'RETURN' GALACTIC FUCKER!!]
