Crimson Overlord

”Run away!”

“Run as fast as I can!”

This was the only thought in Marcus’s heart. He must escape before Orpheus came up.

But it was already too late. He was already on the rooftop with his lips curved slightly as if he would smile, but at the same time not; it was an eerie sight.

Marcus’s pupils contracted because, in the next instant, a spear appeared in Orpheus’s hand; contrary to his spear, his opponent spear seemed more menacing.

The moment Marcus saw this spear, he saw a scene where this spear massacred many people.

He didn’t even need to imagine of many people the spear had killed. Because at this moment, he was personally feeling a tremendous pressure that this spear and its owner brought him.

The two-meter-long spear hit downward, and the air wherever it passed seemed to have been entirely drawn out. The high-pitched whistling grew louder. In Marcus’s line of sight, the ferocious but delicate spear directly hit the top of his head from above!

It was too fast.

The spear drew near as if the whole world was falling. Pure and extreme killing intent enveloped all his space of action. The air seemed to have been shredded into invisible powder. Marcus felt that the spear seemed to have connected with the entire world at the moment; it was like the saying one man, one spear. With the raging and pure killing intent, the spear in perfect harmony with Orpheus struck downward with tremendous power!

At this moment, Marcus did not have any idea of resisting at all. He simply roared and retreated after gathering all his energy under his foot; origin gathered under his feet and propelled him backward.

The silver spear crashed into the ground with a loud bang at the same time. If he were late by a millisecond, he would have suffered a terrible fate.

The entire building shook violently. Centered on where the spear landed, numerous cracks were spreading rapidly in all directions of the flat roof.

“Rumble!”

Marcus saw with a blank stare that the surrounding cracks reached their limits and could no longer extend. The roof didn’t seem to be able to withstand the tremendous force, so the initial point where the spear landed collapsed, creating a huge crack seven to eight meters long.

Orpheus, the man who was responsible for all this, had no intention to stop attacking to question him. As soon as the spear hit the ground, he had rushed over without a word and struck straight toward Marcus again, not giving any respite.

“Damn it! Is this really a freshman?” Marcus cursed and had no intention of fighting here.

Looking at the spear that was shooting toward his chest, Marcus turned and ran a few steps without hesitation. Then he directly jumped off the roof.

Behind him, Orpheus’s eyes twinkled and became more and more devilish. At the moment when the man sent for testing him jumped from the roof, he sprinted without hesitation as well and jumped down, holding a spear higher than himself. He could have stepped across space, but he was playing pretend, so he must limit his abilities.

Bang!

When his feet landed on the ground, it cracked like fragile concrete.

”What a terrific physics.” Marcus thought as he ran ahead. In another location, Riggs was running toward their direction while someone seemed to be spectating the fight from the shadow. Except for Orpheus, no one noticed this presence.

A wood surrounded the residential area.

Marcus kept running, but Orpheus’s spear never stopped.

The silver spear appeared behind him again.

Head, chest, and the middle of the back.

Orpheus’s three attacks aimed at striking the vital parts of the human body. He did all this directly and efficiently, and each one of his moves was perfect and violent.

This was the real way to use a spear to kill someone else. Marcus, who was in retreat, had no strength to fight back at all. His body twisted weirdly, and the bones all over his body immediately emanated a burst of cracking sound, and origin filled them. At this point, his skeleton seemed to have been dislocated. When his legs ran forward, his upper body suddenly tilted sharply. His speed remained unaffected, and he successfully dodged Orpheus’s spear once again.

The latter almost voiced his thoughts by saying not, but he stopped.

Finally, they completely left the residential area into the wood when Orpheus suddenly stopped forcing Marcus to stop.

”Say teacher?”

“Marcus,” Marcus replied instantly, shocked by his own action. It was as if he was not in control of his body when he answered back.

Orpheus nodded with an expressionless face before asking.

”Teacher Marcus, how many credits will I get if I thrash you?”

Marcus froze at those words; even Riggs, who just appeared and was about to hide to watch the fight froze with his jaw almost hitting the floor. He thought he had misheard Marcus too.

It was why he asked Orpheus, trying his best to control his facial expression.

”I didn’t hear you the first time. Can you please repeat yourself?”

He could not be blamed as what Orpheus had just said was out of the ordinary. As far he remembered, in the history of the Heaven Star Academy, no first-year student had said those words, not even in Saint Star Academy. No wonder Marcus was so shocked and asked Orpheus to repeat himself.
