The Cheat Seed

Chapter 43

"He reversed....the Attack with....a Toothpick!!"

Marcus's face went blank. Dave also went blank when he saw his friend's face.

"A toothpick??....That's Cool"

Marcus chuckled and broke the silent atmosphere.

"And he is just a Noble Seed User"

Dave said with a sigh and slapped his forehead.

Marcus went real silent this time. His face didn't have any type of reaction. His eyes, nose and mouth were just there, they were not moving at all. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

At the same time, Thousands of Thoughts danced inside his mind. One of them was

'What if he (Raka) had a Cheat Seed'

'Would he (Raka) be able to kill a God with a sneeze'

....

...

'Do I stand a chance against him'

"He might be lyi..."

"No"

Dave broke Marcus Midsentence.

"We even cross checked his Seed with the help of the Mages.....It really was just a noble seed"

"But what happened next?? You know, what happened to the 3rd years??"

"Ah, They were hit by their own attack and was blown away along with the stadium part they were on..."

Dave paused and looked at his friend.

Marcus was silent again.

"And, they were sent to the Healing ward"

Dave finished his words.

...

"How...How did he even manage to pull it off?"

The words blurted out of his mouth as Marcus looked down on the land and the dirt.

Dave hesitated a bit, but smiled off his hesitation when he realized Marcus wouldn't be able to counter Raka anyway.

"Do you remember what he said?"

Dave looked at Marcus.

He shot a confused look back at Dave.

"Skills matter, not inborn talents"

"Yea, That was a cool line"

"Hmm, so actually Raka....has been to Every Continent in the world....and his power is....."

Dave bit his tongue gently and glanced at Marcus.

Marcus was waiting for his answer. Anticipation filled his eyes.

"His power is.....his brain"

*Blank Marcus Intensifies*

"He countered the 3rd years Special Combined attack with a Toothpick remember?...Actually it was a high tech device which Raka invented himself."

Dave completed with a full stop inside his mind and forced his mind to shut out anymore Information about Raka, Just so that he won't spit it out to Marcus.

Even though Marcus was his best friend he couldn't reveal all of the information yet, Because....He wanted his friend to learn how to counter things by his own.

Dave has been always by his side when he got bullied by Gabriel and his gang or any other problem. It was all Dave who helped him cross the bridge during those times. He didn't get tired off it, but as they started growing up Dave started realizing how his friend (Marcus) was relying on him (Dave) too much.

But the Marcus after two years had some other worldly vibe radiating from him. This time he was sure, he must let go of Marcus in the middle of that bridge, just so that he (Marcus) would learn how to stand up by himself in his life and go past Dave on that bridge to the other end.

"I challenge you Marcus...I CHALLENGE YOU TO DEFE...."

"I WILL DEFEAT HIM.....AND YOU"

Marcus overwhelmed his friend's words with his own.

Dave looked at him with the surprise element dancing in his expression, He smirked.

"Sure, The Best.."

"WINS"

Marcus completed his friend's words.

He snapped his fingers again and soon the abyss disappeared along with the piece of land under them. The domain vanished and the destroyed curb along with the huge villa came in view.

Marcus looked at the clock inside the Villa through the huge hole. His mouth perched in amusement when he realized it had been only ten seconds outside.

Dave walked towards Marcus and shook his hands first, then gave him a spine breaking bear hug. Tears rolled down his cheeks as emotions struck him again.

"Welcome back Brother"

Dave sobbed.

"Hehe"

Marcus chuckled as he held Dave in his grasp.

The parents of the two laughed and smiled at each other warmly. The ladies wept a bit out of happiness but wiped off their tears.

"C'mon boys, It time to celebrate"

Meya clapped and whistled to the two emotional friends.

Dave and Marcus broke their hug and shook hands again.

"Don't forget about the challenge"

"I won't"

They chuckled again, but their eyes seemed to be serious. It was going to be a battle between Monsters.

......

Play horns went off and balloons popped when the two families celebrated Marcus's birthday which started with the cutting off the huge cake in front of him.

Marcus chuckled when he sliced through the custom made cake. The Cake was made into a Nine tailed Demon Fox, which was the top tier beast humanity was facing now.

Beast Speech was normal to a Tamer, Which meant Tamers could converse with their tamed beast.

"Ooh, Master...Humans do respect our kind"

Diablo chimed inside Marcus's mind.

"Hehe, Is that so??"

Marcus sliced one out of the Nine tails of the cake.

"Wha...What are you doing master"

Diablo questioned Marcus.

"Diablo, This Cake is meant to be sliced, Slicing this cake Ignites the idea of cutting off the Demon Foxes existence from the world."

Marcus said with a chuckle.

"But why??"

Diablo got a bit annoyed when he heard his brothers were going to killed.

"Because, The Foxes pose a huge threat to the very existence of us Humans.."

Marcus went on muttering as he placed a piece of the chocolate cake into his Father's mouth.

"And there is no other way, but kill them off"

Marcus finished as his father placed a huge cake piece inside his mouth.

Marcus struggled in chewing it because of its size but soon enjoyed the flavours when he managed to cut its size off by swallowing some. The Chocolate with a hint of vanilla tasted good to his crazy hungry taste buds.

"But Master, didn't you say, it was almost impossible for humans to kill my people??"

Diablo asked him telepathically.

"Yes it was.....But Humanity has me now"

Marcus said with a sly grin on his face.

"That is true Master, but why kill my brothers?? wh.."

"I said it before right, we have to kill the..."

Marcus cut off his Familair but got cut off by his familair just after a second.

"I am sorry for butting in Master, but what I came to say was, why kill them, when.."

Diablo paused and felt his master.

Marcus was actually ready to listen. He felt he needed to give his Familiar a chance to explain, because his 'Kind's' (The Demon Foxes Race/Family) sole existence was on the line.

"Go on Diablo, Don't fear me"

"Thank you Master..What I meant to say was, Why kill them when Humans can just live along with them??"

"But how Diablo?, How will we talk to them??...WHO IN THE WORLD CAN TALK TO THEM??"

Marcus shook his head.

But soon after a second his Fox Familiar's tattoo glowed and Marcus's eyes opened wide when he realized something. Diablo said 'his people' instead of 'his Kind'. Didn't he ??. Does that mean??.

His Memories flashed back to the second trial dungeon.

'Didn't he see a temple??'

'Didn't Diablo emerge out of the Main and the only statue from the Temple??'

'But aren't shrines only meant for...'

Diablo broke his thoughts and started talking right on that cue.

"I can talk to them....I CAN!!...."

"Because I Am their GOD.."
