The Cheat Seed

Chapter 20

"What do you mean?"

Marcus asked as soon as the system replied to him.

"I already have Diablo with me!!!" Marcus said.

[Diablo?, Who's that?]

The system echoed in his mind as it asked for details.

Diablo? It was the first time the system was hearing this name.

"You don't know Diablo? Even though you merged or..as you say integrated with me completely!"

[..]

"Aren't you supposed to be able to read my mind"

[Wait.. Tell me who Diablo is at least, leave the nonsensical talks aside]

"Diablo is my FAMILIAR, MY NINETY TAILED DEMON FOX, THE GOD SLAYER!!"

[When the hell did you even name it?]

"When I was in here, in this awful dungeon"

[F*CK YOU]

"Wha..?"

[SHUT UP!!. DIDN'T YOU KNOW I WAS ON USER MUTE YOU STUPID HUMAN BLOCKHEAD!!!]

The system cut Marcus midway and shouted inside his mind.

Marcus covered his ears but he was forgetting that those harsh words were echoing inside his head. But somehow he felt happy, he felt happy because he remembered the way his mom used to scold him. Marcus smiled as the system keeped on rampaging inside his head.

"Ok..Ok I get it" Marcus said with a chuckle in between.

The system seemed to cool down.

"Now if you will please, tell me about this God of God Slaying Qilin"

"How am I supposed to wield it if I already have a fami..."

Marcus cut off in between, his mind waltzed as his memories started scattering. There was another class of Seed users. They were Soul Wielders.

Meaning, the Soul Wielders could merge with a soul spirit and wield them as they want in order to defend themselves or attack.

The Soul Wielders had an amazing amount of Soul Level. Marcus's eyes widened.

"If it is what I think it is, then..."

"SYSTEM, Open status window"

The system in a jiffy opened his status window tab and Marcus gasped. It was as he thought it was. His soul level was no more in the numerical sign of question marks instead it was shown that he had something very different from what he had learned till now.

[Soul Level : God Slayer]

Marcus always used to stumble when he saw something new out from the blue but this time he maintained his posture.

He was thinking rationally and he finally came to the conclusion that it was showing as a God Slayer Level of Soul level because of the God of God Slaying's presence inside him.

He found it reasonable as he remembered the soul inside a soul wielder boosted the User's soul level.

But the one thing he was forgetting was that he still hadn't awakened a Seed!. But that thought never came across his mind because of the continuous action he was involved once a Dungeon was cleared.

Marcus remembered one more thing as he remembered his class on Soul Wielders. A Soul Wielder was very rare in his world as it took a lot of effort and talent to be able to suppress a soul and make it his/her own. But here he was being gifted the strongest Soul for clearing the Dungeon.

"The Strongest Soul!!"

....

"Achoooo"

"Heh? Does Soul's sneeze too" Crayalus asked.

"Maybe someone was thinking about me?" His Soul Spirit replied to him.

"Yea whatever Mrigenta"

Crayalus ignored his Soul spirit and continued slicing up heavenly mountains in front of him with the nail in his pinky finger.

....

"System, Mirror"

Marcus called out to the system as he remembered one more thing about the Soul Wielders.

The system opened a window tab in front of him showing his face.

There was a way to identify a Soul wielder, they had a tattoo on their forehead, which ran all the way to the sides.

Marcus had a beast shaped like a lion but had some other creature's face, which was gaping its mouth and it's tail which had a flare at it's end was close to its gaping mouth. It was like the mouth tried to reach the tail.

"AH, So I was right huh?"

Marcus closed his eyes and chanted.

"Summon Qilin"

Marcus gave his Soul Spirit respect and called its origin name.

The Upper body part of the beast or the torso of the beast formed in front of him in a red flaring mist. Marcus's eyes turned blue and his upper canine teeth extended like fangs and were blue in colour. His muscles were bulging now like he was worked up.

"Wow!! This feeling of immense power is awesome"

Marcus closed his eyes and exhaled air as he felt raw power surge through him.

"But don't let it get into your head"

Marcus whispered to himself as he took forward towards his soul spirit. He went through the Misty form in front of him and the mist started following him right behind as he walked towards the Dungeon wall.

Marcus kept his left hand in pocket and slashed his right hand in air while pacing just 10 meters away from the rock hard wall. The Soul spirit imitated his movement and slashed it's flaring claw in the air.

Blood Red Claw mark appeared in the air and rushed itself to the wall. There was a second silence when the Claw mark hit the wall, but it was soon followed by the destruction of the whole wall in front of him. Not only the part the Claw hit, not only the wall, but the whole area except Marcus was blown away to smithereens because of the Shockwave followed after the Claw hit. All he saw was black, pitch black in front of him.

As it was an abyss, there was nothing eye catching but as he looked up he saw the opening from where he had fell and the sky was ocean blue in color.

Marcus's ponytail went loose and his overgrown hair fell on his face covering his right eye. The hair bobbed for a second around his eyes, but soon waved back and danced in air for a whole minute because of the air whooshing in front of him left after the shockwave.

Marcus tilted his head slightly to his left once the atmosphere calmed down. His hair fell back to its previous place, covering his right eye completely and some strands of hair hiding his left when the others fixed itself on his ear gap.

Marcus snapped his fingers once and the spirit vanished into air slowly. His pupils returned to its original Turquoise green color and his fangs retreated back to normal.

The blown away land around him respawned within a few breaths and Marcus inhaled as he sat down on the rocky dungeon floor.

[Well...That was....more than.... what I expected]

"HAHA TRUE" Marcus laughed as he heard the system stutter.

Marcus looked at his hands and then around him.

"This power, if it fell into wrong hands...Woah, I just cannot imagine the consequences"

[That is why we select people who can use this for the good]

Marcus raised his eyebrows at the comment and smiled.

"Thank you system, without you...I just don't know how I would've managed this much power."

The system made a gasping sound as it heard Marcus's comment.

Marcus laughed as he could feel the system blushing.

When he thought about blushing red cheeks, his thoughts went back to that of his newborn sister.

Marcus felt an urge to get out of this place as soon as he thought about his sister's blushing face.

"I want to see her so badly, I want to see them ALL very badly"

"System, Isn't it time to get out of this place?"

[YESSS.. Finally]

The system screamed madly inside his head and a beep followed its scream of excitement. A message popped up in front of him with a Y/N tag.

[WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXIT THE TUTORIAL DUNGEON.....Y/N]

Without a single thought, Marcus clicked the Y in a speed which could compete with that of light.

A blue color shone in front of him and expanded itself around Marcus covering and blanketing him slowly. Marcus stared around, all he could see was blue light slowly closing on him.

The Light slowly covered Marcus like it was devouring a meal and then completely swallowed Marcus.

The blue light vanished into air as soon as Marcus was swallowed.

Marcus was now floating inside a space. He felt like he was flying and swimming at the same time. When He stared down at the space, he saw an open path which was glowing white.

Slowly waving his hands back and forth, Marcus swam and flied towards the white light.

*whoosh*

Marcus got pulled inside as soon as he reached closed to it.

*Thud*

Marcus landed with a thud on his back. He felt relaxed as soon as he hit the soft ground. He opened his eyes and turned his head to the side. It was green grass. He was on a field covered with soft and fluffy cotton-like grass.

Sitting up Marcus stared at fhe sky. The sky was now a little flash of grey and orange as the sun was setting. He was overjoyed when he learned he was no longer in a Dungeon.

"Marcus"

A voice called out to him from behind and Marcus quickly stood up and took an attack stance.

His eyes widened as he saw a wrinkled face in front of him. The muscular guy who pushed him to the abyss. The guy who told him he was going to be the next Guardian. The Person in front of him was now very old and was balancing himself on a cane made out of bamboo. The Legend of Krozon.

"You made it out Marcus!!"

"I knew you could!!"

The Old Man, It was The Flame Emperor!!
