The next day, things looked great for Ponyville's new addition. The girls welcomed them with open arms and became friends with them. Ruby became friends with the CMC and Spike as well as other young ones. The girls were shocked to hear that Mitta was once a zombie living in a village full of zombies in the middle of the Everfree forest. They were also horrified at what happened to Ruby. They felt sad about them but were happy that Asura have given them a second chance of life.

Since Mitta and Ruby didn't had any money, Asura told them that they can stay in his house for as long as they want to. They happily accepted his offer but Mitta wanted to find some sort of work to ear money. Since she was an Earth pony, Applejack gave her a job at her farm, to which she happily accepted. Since Ruby was the same age as the CMC, Mitta let her daughter attend the school where she made many friends.

Asura also told the girls about the forest's new additions. He told them that he created plant monsters that now inhabits the forest. This made the forest more dangerous than before. However, they don't need to fear the forest anymore. Asura told them that the plant monsters were under his control and will not harm them. The only ones who need to stay away from the forest are the enemies.

The girls were awe that he was able to make plant monsters that were under his control. They were also happy that the forest is now safe for them. Since most of Ponyville is surrounded by the forest, it made the village safer than before. Mayor Mare also accepted to change the forest name from Everfree forest to Death forest. The Death part is a warning for those who wish to harm Ponyville and its inhabitants.

Asura also went to Canterlot to meet with the princesses. He shared his story with Celestia and Luna which shocked and horrified them. They were extremely disgusted at what the village did to a filly for getting her Cutie Mark. They were both very happy at how he dealt with them and that he given Mitta and Ruby a second chance at life.

One day, they were all enjoying picnic near a lake. They enjoyed themselves as they ate Asura's cooking which made them drool. The fillies and Spike were playing with themselves. Fluttershy and Mellow Hoof were besides Asura who lay their heads on his lap. He ran his hands on their heads which made them relax. Everyone were relaxing that day when suddenly, the human became stiff. The girls immediately noticed this and became worried.

Fluttershy asked, "Asura? Are you okay?"

Asura came out of his though and said, "Yes. I'm fine. Its just that my instinct told me that something is bad going to happen today."

The girls became even more worried and Twilight asked, "When its going to happen?"

Rainbow asked, "And what is going to happen?"

Asura shrug his shoulder and said, "Don't know what is it or where it will happen or when it will take place. All I know is that its going to happen today."

Gilda asked, "So, what would you do about it?"

Asura said, "All I can do is keep an eye out for things that are out of place."

Pinkie said, "Oh! You mean like when my tail twitches! Or when stuff falls from the sky! Or when it rains frogs! Or when Rainbow Dash is in a skirt!"

Rainbow shouted, "Hey!"

Asura shook his head and said, "No. Not like those. I mean .... frog rain?"

Pinkie smiled widely and nodded. He look at Twilight who said, "Well, there was this one time when a frog fell from the sky and landed on my face."

Fluttershy said, "Oh. That's my fault. You see, that day, I was taking my frog friends to the swamp where they will make their new homes. One must have jumped out from my basket."

Twilight said, "Oh. That's explains it."

Asura smiled and said, "Well, that was very nice of you Fluttershy."

Fluttershy blush shyly as she hug him to hide her blush which only made her cute. Asura smiled and hug her. He said, "I'm going to be around Ponyville to see what sort of incidents would take place. I need to be vary of what my instinct told me. You all remain vigilante too. If you do come across something that is dangerous, then shout my name and I'll be there."

The girls nodded and spend their time with him as they enjoyed the picnic. After that Asura walk all over Ponyville in order to see anything out of place. He found none so far. He then suddenly stopped and did a face palm. Why was he going around Ponyville when he has his infected insects around? Idiot. He then went towards his house and into his room where he continued one of his secret projects. A few hours later, one of his infected insects informs him of something.

This one came from the Silent One from the wasteland. He was informed that a group of strangers clad in armor which hid their features were coming towards the changeling kingdom. Asura waited to be informed at what happen next. After a while, what he found alarmed him greatly. The strangers were somehow able to bypass their defenses and avoided detection from the changeling guards. Even the Silent One lost track of them.

Asura spared no time as he was worried about what their intentions were. He was also greatly worried about Chrysalis and Insectum safety. He quickly used "Kamui" to suck himself into another dimension and teleport to the Changeling Kingdom.

Changeling Kingdom

A group of 50 individuals used the kingdom's shadow to move around in order to avoid detection. They swiftly moved towards the castle and entered it. Inside, they swiftly and silently killed the guards without them noticing their presence. Soon they arrived at a huge door. That door leads to the queen. They silently opened it and entered the room. Inside they found Chrysalis and her daughter Insectum sleeping on a huge bed.

They group of assassins moved silently but one of them accidentally stepped on a toy *Squeeeee* which awoke Chrysalis. She look around and when she saw the strangers, she quickly cast a shield around her and her daughter. She stood up and took a defensive stance against the assassins.

Chrysalis said, "Who are you? What are you doing here in my room?"

The assassins pulled out their weapons which were daggers and swords. One assassin said, "Greeting Chrysalis. We came here for you."

Chrysalis snarled and said, "That's Queen Chrysalis to you! Speak what you came here or I will be forced to remove you myself!"

The assassin spoke, "Not anymore Chrysalis. You see, someone needs you dead for the greater good of the kingdom."

Chrysalis growled, "Oh really? What's make you think that you all would be able to do to me?"

An assassin came forwards and pulled down his cloak, revealing himself to be one of them. A changeling. he said with a grin, "Hello Chrysalis."

Chrysalis gasped and said, "Thrall?"

Thrall nodded and said, "Yes. It is I."

Chrysalis said, "What are you doing here?"

Thrall said, "I came back to reclaim what's mine."

Chrysalis asked, "And that is?"

Thrall said with a grin, "This kingdom."

Chrysalis snarled, "This was never your kingdom Thrall!"

Thrall said, "It will be mine. All I have to do is kill you and claim this kingdom as my own."

Chrysalis said, "That will never happen for as long as I live."

Thrall said, "That is why I have came here today to kill you."

'Why isn't my guards coming here?' Chrysalis thought.

Thrall said, "And don't bother calling your guards. We have killed the ones inside this place."

Chrysalis snarled, "How dare you go against your own kind!"

Thrall said, "I'm doing this because this kingdom has become weak."

Chrysalis said in confusion, "Weak?"

Thrall nodded and said, "You have grown weak. Your kingdom have grown weak. So much that you have to ally yourself with the ponies. With food!"

Chrysalis shouted, "They are not food! They are the ones who helped us when we were at our lowest when no one else did!"

Thrall snorted and said, "Whatever you say Chrysalis. You will die here and I will rule this kingdom and make it strong. Then I will conquer the other kingdoms and I will rule it with an iron fist!"

Insectum woke up and said, "Mommy. Who's there?"

Thrall look at the filly and made a sicking smile, "Well, look what we have here. The daughter of Chrysalis. She will make a great queen by myself."

Chrysalis snarled at him, "Stay away from my daughter you sick freak!"

Thrall said, "That's enough. Its time for you to die."

He swung his sword at the shield and *Crackle* shattered it completely, which This shocked Chrysalis. She said, "How? How did you break my shield!?"

Thrall said with a smirked, "I have met a powerful being who I gave my alliance to. He gave me and my comrades these armors and weapons which negate magic."

He and the rest of his comrades lunge at the queen. Chrysalis immediately held Insectum and teleported away from them and outside the room. She then ran away as her magic would do no good in this situation.

Thrall shouted, "Don't let her get outside of this castle! Kill her as fast as you can! But keep her daughter alive! I have use for that filly."

The others nodded and immediately chase her. Thrall look around the room for a second and joined the chase as well. He will have this kingdom as he was tasked by his master. He was so lost in his thought of ruling the kingdom that he failed to notice an ominous presence heading towards the castle.

Chrysalis ran through her castle with her daughter in search for a safe place. She was unable to contact her guards for any help. Something was blocking her hive mind. She only hope that they somehow survive from the assassins. She tried to teleport outside the castle but failed. There was some sort of shield around the castle that prevented her from teleporting outside. She was stuck in the castle along with the assassins.

The assassins finally cornered the two and prepared to attack her. Chrysalis put her daughter down and said, "Insectum. I want you to run away from here and try to find your way out from this castle."

Insectum look up to her mother with sad teary eyes and said, "But mommy. What about you?"

Chrysalis look at her daughter with eyes full of sadness and said, "My daughter. I want you to know that I will always love you and want you to be safe."

Insectum was crying softly and said, "Please mommy. Don't leave me."

Chrysalis hugged her and said, "I won't. I will be always with you Insectum."

Chrysalis knew that she would not get away from this. The least she would do is try to keep her daughter safe.

Thrall said, "Where do you think your daughter can run? You are cornered. There is no escape."

Chrysalis said, "Wrong."

She hit the wall and *Click* a small hole formed in the wall. She immediately pushed her daughter in the hole in which she fell down.

Chrysalis said, "Be safe my daughter."

Chrysalis look back at the assassins with hate. She summoned her armor and weapon and took a defensive stance. She said, "You all will die here and now."

Thrall snorted and said to one of the assassins, "Go. Track that filly. I want her alive."

The assassin nodded and began to ran away. Chrysalis saw this and immediately lunge at him in hope of killing him from going after her daughter.

She shouted, "No, you don't!"

*Clang*

However, her attack was intercepted by Thrall who said, "Now, why don't you spend your remaining time with us. Hmmm."

Chrysalis cursed as the assassin ran away in search for her daughter. She took an offensive stance and attack them. If she can help her daughter, then she needs to kill these assassins as fast as possible.

Chrysalis shouted, "You all will die! My kingdom will never follow you!"

Thrall avoided her attack and said, "Oh yes they will. After I kill you and show them your head, they will follow me. And if not? Then I can rule them with force."

Chrysalis yelled in anger and continued her attack on the assassins.

With Insectum

Insectum fell down the hole and reached the first floor of the castle. She look around and saw that she was alone. She then ran thorough the castle and found the exit. She was very much worried about her mother's safety and pray that she is alright. As she was nearing the exit, *Crash* the wall to the side exploded which made her stumble back.

Insectum look at the destroyed wall that now blocked her path towards the exit. She began to fear as her only path to safety was cut off. Her fear rise when she saw one of those assassins coming out from the destroyed wall. The assassin saw her and smiled widely.

The assassin said, "Well, look who I found. Come here so I can go back to King Thrall."

He began to walk towards her who ran away from him. Insectum ran and ran from the assassin until she became exhausted and fell o her knees. She began to cry when the assassin came closer.

The assassin said, "Come here brat. You will make a fine queen to the king."

He menacingly walk closer to her and slowly began to grab her. Insectum began to cry and curled into a ball to protect herself. She said, "Please leave me alone."

The assassin laugh and said, "No can do brat. Your coming with me."

Insectum could do nothing but pray for her and her mother's safety. She whispered her wish, "Daddy. Where are you?"

"I hear ... your voice."

Insectum eyes opened in shock as she recognized that voice. The assassin however, stops and look behind the filly. He saw someone huge standing behind the filly. However, he could not make out what the being looked like as he was covered in shadow. The only thing that he could see was a pair of glowing eyes that sends shiver down his spine.

"What the-" That was all the assassin could say before a huge hand came out and grabbed his face and then *Crunch* crushed his entire head. He didn't even had any time to scream and was killed instantly. Red tendrils came out from the hand and pierced the assassin's body and pulled him into the hand and was devoured whole.

Insectum look up at the shadowy figure in fear but she stop when she thought back when she recognize that voice. She gasped when the figure came out from the shadow and shored her who he really was. Someone who she was greatly happy to see.

"Daddy!"

With Chrysalis

Chrysalis panted as she avoided another blow from the assassins. These assassins were really good. They were able to injure her as her magic was negated due to their Ninth armor. She had several cut wounds on her body. Her armor was cracked and broken in several places. Her right arm was broken and she was bleeding heavily. She was also very exhausted from fighting the assassins. As she fought, she was worried about her daughter's safety.

An assassin lunge at her and said, "Take this you bitch!"

Chrysalis was caught off guard when she was blocking an incoming attack but failed to see another attack. She was *Bash* hit in the chest with a hammer that launched her back *Crash* into a wall. Chrysalis slump on the floor as she felt some of her ribs breaking from that attack. She cough out some green blood as she breath heavily.

Chrysalis look at her assassins in her weaken state. She could not fight anymore and only pray that her daughter is safe from these bastards. She saw Thrall smirking at her defeat.

Thrall said, "Well, look at you now. Eh. Chrysalis! Ruler of this kingdom is down at my hooves. How laughable! You said that becoming friends with others makes your kingdom stronger but where is that suppose now!? As I said, your kingdom have become weak but don't worry. I promise you that after you die, I will bring back this kingdom back to its former glory."

Chrysalis could do nothing but growl at him which made him laugh. Thrall said, "Also, I'll make sure that your daughter will make a good queen who will bear my children."

That statement make Chrysalis sick to her stomach. Thrall look at one of the assassins and said, "Kill her."

The assassin nodded and jumped at Chrysalis as he brought down his weapon on her. Chrysalis closed her eyes and waited for her death. She thought about what she did in order to bring prosperity back to her kingdom. She meet with a being who didn't look at her like a monster but as a friend. This being not only approach them with kindness but also helped them in their time of need. This being then healed her daughter and punished the ones who harmed her. Most of all, he even accepted her to become part of his family. She loved this being so much that even her daughter has become attached to him. She felt sorrow that she would not be able to spend her life with her lover.

Chrysalis has been defeated by these assassins who betray their own kind. And now, she awaits her death. She closed her eyes and waited to embrace death. However, it never came. She opened her eyes and became shocked to see what happened. The very being who had helped her entire kingdom was standing in front of her with her daughter sitting on his shoulder. But what about the attacker who was about to kill her? She shifted a bit to the right and saw in disbelief.

Asura held the end of the attacker's weapon in his hand tightly. He glared hatefully at the attacker who was held in the air along with his weapon.

The attacker and the rest of the assassins were shocked to see this being who not only appeared out of no where but was able to easily stop their attack on the queen. The attacker who was held in the air by his weapon was stupefied as he look at the being in front of him. When his eyes meet with the being, he became frozen with fear. He could feel hatred and malice coming from this being. His body wouldn't even response as he tried to release his grip on his weapon.

Chrysalis look at her lover in shock and happy that her daughter was safe. She said, "A-Asura?"

Asura turn his face around to face her. He gave a soft smile and said, "I am very happy to see that you are alive Chrysalis. I'm sorry I didn't came as soon to save you from all of this."

Chrysalis smiled and said, "You have no need to apologize Asura. I see that Insectum is safe. If it was not for you then I fear for my daughter's safety and future."

Insectum look at her mother in fear and shouted, "Mommy!"

Insectum jumped from Asura's shoulder and flew towards her mother. She hugged her and cried for her safety. She said, "A-are you g-going to be okay m-mommy?"

Chrysalis smiled and hugged her daughter softly. She said, "Yes I am. Now that your father is here. He will protect us from the bad ones."

Insectum cried as she was being comfort by her mother. Asura was already angry that they were going to kill Chrysalis but he became enraged when he heard what these bastard were going to do to the filly. He growled and look back at the assassins. More importantly at the one who he grabbed the weapon of the attacker.

Asura said, "You dare try to kill one of my precious family."

The assassins took some step back from the being's intimidation. The attacker didn't had any time to react when Asura swung his right arm upwards, lunching the attacker towards the ceiling.

*Splat*

The attacker's head became paste when his head collided with the ceiling with such force. The assassins look up in horror as they see own of their own was stuck on the ceiling. After a few seconds, the headless corpse then fell down from the ceiling and onto the floor, in front of the human. Asura raised his right leg and stomped on the corpse. Several red tendrils came out, wrapped around the dead body and devoured it. This cause the assassins to gasp in horror as they saw the body being eaten within seconds.

The assassins were now on their guard against this being. Thrall said, "What are you creature? What business you have here?"

Asura growled, "You dare ask me that when you just tired to kill a part of my family."

Thrall was confused and asked, "What family? I don't see any of your kind here?"

Chrysalis chuckled which gained the assassins attention. Thrall said, "What are you laughing about?"

Chrysalis said, "You imbecile. You don't recognize who is standing in front of you."

Thrall snarled, "What are you talking about? Should he be someone I need to be concern about?"

Chrysalis chuckled and said, "You really don;t know who he is? Then allow me to tell you who this being is. He is the one who helped my kingdom when no one did. He is the one who made a friendly alliance with the ponies. He is the one who saved my kingdom from starvation. He is the one who rid of us the predator who eats out kind."

The assassins were surprised to hear that but Thrall was not interested with that. He said, "Those are some good praise but what does that have to do with him being here?"

Chrysalis grinned as she said, "The one standing in front of you is none other than the famous monster hunter! Asura!"

The assassins eyes widen in fear as they take a step back from the human. They have heard about him about how he was able to kill strong monsters with ease, about how he fought and killed every fighter in the griffin's tournament and mangled the griffin king, about how strong her was to be able to fight a titanic giant and kill it. They were very fearful about this human and wished that they don't encounter him in their life but it seems that didn't go well.

An assassin stutter, "A-and w-what is he d-doing h-here?"

Chrysalis smiled and said, "Oh! That's very simple! I am part of his herd."

Silence took hold of the air. That one statement made the assassins tremble in fear. They were already afraid of the monster hunter but now they know they fucked up. They have hurt and tried to kill one of the human's herd mate. They did everything in order to avoid meeting the monster hunter but it seems that fate just screwed them over and now they are going to pay as they have angered the one being they didn't want to meet.

Thrall was also trembling in fear. He said, "T-that .. can't be .. you must be joking! There is no way a being like him is interested in our kind! Much more to have you, a queen in his herd! Your lying!"

Chrysalis chuckled and said, "What need I have to lie about this? Asura is the only one who didn't see our kind as monsters due to our appearances. He have done so much for my kingdom and didn't ask for anything in return. That is why I fell in love with him and he accepted me to be a part of his family."

The assassins gulped in fear as they hear that. How are they going to get away from this? They were only asked to kill the queen but if they try to gain more info about their target, they would have found that she was part of the human's herd. They failed to do that as they thought that killing Chrysalis would be child play as they receive special armor and weapon. Now they are in deep shit.

Asura *Crunch* crushed the weapon in his hand and devoured it. He found that the weapon was made from Ninth metal. He look at the rest of the assassins and found that their weapons and armors were made up of Ninth metal as well. Who gave them these equipment?

Thrall pushed aside his fear and said, "Come on men! We don't need to fear someone like him! We have these special armors and weapons. With them, we can overcome his strength! So don't fear him! We can do this! And when we are done, this kingdom will be ours!"

Play this music for their slaughter.

The other assassins stop trembling when they heard that. Their greed was more powerful than their fear. So they stop trembling and took offensive stances as they ready to fight the human. An assassin lunge forward at the human with intent to skewer him with his sword. However, that didn't happened. When the sword made contact with the human's flesh, it failed to pierce it flesh.

Asura didn't defend against the incoming attack as he wanted to test out his "Unbreakable Skin" and he has to say that he likes it. No longer has he need to use "Tekkai" against incoming attacks. He saw that the tip of the sword was unable to cut his skin and stopped the attack.

The assassin look in shock at his failed attack. He look up just in time for his face to meet with a huge fist that lunched him back with his face blowing up into gore and paste. The dead body flew above the assassins and landed behind them. The assassins look back at their dead comrade in shock. They then look back at the human in fear at how easily he killed their comrade with just a punch as they were professional assassins.

Thrall yelled, "Don't attack straight head on! Surround him first and attack him from every direction!"

The assassins nodded and ran towards the human. They began to surround him but Asura didn't let them get pass him because behind him were his precious family. Chrysalis and Insectum. Asura *Bash* punch away an assassin when he was about to get pass by him. Another one tired to ran by him in order to get behind him but failed as Asura spin around and *Bash* kicked him away. He hit a wall and fell down dead as his spine was broken from that strong.

Asura defended Chrysalis and Insectum from the assassins for a while but when they tried to rush by him, he growled and made some forms of hand signs. He slams his hands on the floor and shouted, "Earth Style Earth Spikes"! He send his chakra into the floor and from it, several spikes shoot out and skewered the assassins who were about to pass by him.

*Shik* *Kerip* *Shik*

The assassins screamed in pain as they were skewered by the spikes. Too bad they didn't die from it. They were skewered from their stomach, arms and legs. They struggle to free themselves but it only made them scream in pain. Asura shouted "Sound Armor" to cover Chrysalis and Insectum in transparent armor made of sound. He then shouted "Sound Wall" and created a wall made of sound in between the two and the human. This separated Chrysalis and Insectum from the rest which would protect them from the assassins.

Asura can now focus on the assassins as his two precious family members are safe now. He faced his opponents. No. The enemies of his family. They hurt one of his family member and tried to kill her! They tried to take away his daughter from him! He will not let them live. He will Crush Them!

A bulky assassin came forwards who wore heavy armor and held a huge sword. He challenged the human to a test of strength. Idiot.

The assassin said, "I see that you use strength to face your opponents. You are just like me. I too seek strength and I would like to test my sword with you. Cutting your body in half that is."

Asura said nothing to him and simply signaled him to come at him, which the assassin gladly accepted. He rushed at him and raised his sword above him. He tense his muscle and brought his sword down on the human with all of his might. He grinned at the thought of cutting the human as no one he encounter was able to stop his attack.

*Clang*

The assassin's grin fell when he saw his sword stopping when it made contact with the human. He saw that his sword didn't even cut the human's skin but where did that metal sound came from?

*Crack*

The assassin's eyes widen when he saw several cracks spreading on his sword and then *Crackle* shattered into thousands of pieces. The other assassins were shocked to see one of their weapon breaking when it came in contact with the human's skin. How did this happen? Asura not only allowed the sword to hit him but used "Repulsion" to send all of that incoming force from the sword back at it at 10 times more. This caused the sword to shatter into several smaller pieces.

The bulky assassin step back in horror at seeing his sword breaking just like that. He began to tremble in fear and tried to turn around and ran for his life but he stop and grinned. He said, "You may have broken my sword but you won't be able to break through my armor. Out of all of us, I have the strongest armor! I will be stopping your attacks while my comrades deal with that bitch!"

However, this proved to be his downfall because Asura was not intimidated by his lousy claim. Instead, he was only angered when the assassin insulted Chrysalis. He got an idea of using his water manipulation in his attacks. He clenched his right fist and put some water energy into it. If the assassin likes boasting about his armor, then it would only be fair to destroy it. He pulled back his right first and gathered a small amount of water from the air. Then he lunge it at the assassin as he said "Gyojin Karate Hyaku Maigawara Seiken"!

*Bash*

The assassin was not only launched back by that powerful punch but his armor, ribs, heart and spine were destroyed from that attack. The attack send out a shockwave that travel through the water. It first destroyed the armor and then the chest bones and then the heart and spine. It was like a straight line shockwave that forced its way through the assassin's body.

Gyojin Karate Hyaku Maigawara Seiken or Fishman Karate Hundred Brick Fist
A punch that releases shockwave through water that can send an opponent flying. This attack is so strong that it can break through one hundred tiles.

The assassins look in horror as their strongest comrade was killed in front of them. Thrall snarled and said, "Forget about surrounding him! Attack him all at once!"

The assassins did that and charged at the human in a group. Asura saw this and tense his muscles in his right arm. he pulled his right arm back while he channel power into his arm. When the assassins covered half of the distance, he thrust his right fist forward. This made the assassins confuse and stop a few feet in front of him as they saw the human hitting nothing but air. They look at each other and began to chuckle. They slowly made their way towards the human who didn't move from his position as he kept his right fist stretched forward.

"Hey hey! What's this?"

"Is he playing with us?"

"He isn't even moving. Why is that?"

"I don't care what happening but I don't want to pass this chance."

"Yeah. Lets kill him and the bitch and be done with it!"

"Yeah!"

The assassins converse with themselves as they came closer to the human. They prepare their weapons and were about to attack him but stop when they saw something. On the ground, the assassins saw a small piece of rock that began to roll away from them. Then another rock rolled away and then another. They became more confused when they began to skit away from the human. They yelped when they saw some of their body parts bending in unnatural way. Their abdomen even cave in. After a few seconds of this unnatural phenomena and then.

*Boooom*

A huge shockwave exploded that lunched all of the nearby assassins away.

Their insides were severely damaged and more than half of their bones were shattered into pieces. The assassin that were blasted away fell on the floor in immense pain as their limbs were broken. Chrysalis, Insectum and the rest of the assassins look at the scene in awe and shock.

After a few seconds of silence, Asura said, "Gyojin Karate Karakusagawara Seiken".

Gyojin Karate Karakusagawara Seiken or Fishman Karate Arabesque Brick Fist
He punches at a fair distance from the intended targets. This transmitting the force of the blow through the water vapor in the air to release a shock wave that sends them flying. The shock waves are not concentrated upon being released but in exchange has a much wider area of effect. This move has a delayed effect, as the shock wave takes a while to reach the opponent but when they do reach them, it will cause devastating damage to them. Both externally and internally.

Thrall saw how easily his comrades were killed by this human. His instinct were telling him to run away but his greed for becoming a ruler of this kingdom made him stay and face the monster hunter. He will not run when his prize is right in front of him. All he has to do is to get rid of this human and he can easily kill the queen and become king of this kingdom.

Thrall shouted, "All of you! Continue attacking him! I'm going to do something!"

A assassin asked, "What are you going to do?"

Thrall grin and pulled out a crystal ball. He said, "I am going to use this gift that master has given me."

Another assassin said, "You are going to use that here!?"

Thrall said, "Yes. It may be the only thing that can fight that human. Now attack him and buy me some time."

The assassins nodded and charged at the human. Asura heard what Thrall was doing and was interested to see what that crystal ball would do. So he fought the assassins while he waited for Thrall to finish what he was doing. Thrall began to put his magic into the crystal ball which made it shine. He continued to pour more and more magic into it in order to activate it. Asura saw the light coming from the ball but ignored it as he continue to kill the assassins.

Asura didn't move from his position as he was defending Chrysalis an Insectum. He let the assassins come to him. As they charged at him, he *Bash* punch the nearest one in the face and then *Bash* uppercut the next one into the ceiling who went *Splat* as its head became paste. Three more lunge at him, only for him to turn his arm into "Blade Arm" and *Shing* cut them horizontally.

An assassin jumped into the air and brought down his hammer onto the human. Asura lunge his left leg towards the assassin and gave a powerful kick that *Clang* not only stopped the incoming hammer but *Crackle* destroyed the hammer. The kick didn't stop as it made its way towards the assassin and *Bash* hit him in the gut which launch him back and made him puke out loads of blood.

While Asura's left leg was in the air, an assassin choose to take this opportunity to attack him while his guard was down. The assassin lunge forward as he ready his poison daggers to cut him just once for the poison to take effect but he didn't get his chance as Asura brought his left leg down upon the poor bastard. Asura stomp on the assassin's head that *Crunch* crushed it and devoured his headless corpse.

Two assassins rush at him together as they brought down their blades on the human but to their shock, the human ignored the incoming weapons and grabbed them by their throats. The two assassins were lift above the ground. They struggled to free themselves as they slash their blades at the human but were unable to cut him. Asura then slowly squeeze their throat and choke the life out of them. When they suffocate to death, he *Crunch* crush their necks and devoured them.

Two assassins took out their bow and shoot the human with poison arrows. Asura saw the incoming arrows and simply caught them with his fingers which shocked them. He then flick the arrows back at them and hit their heads who died instantly. The rest of the assassins saw no other way to get away from this situation. So they all charged at him in hopes of getting pass him and kill the queen but Asura never let them get closer to Chrysalis and Insectum.

Asura used his wires to *Shing* cut the assassins into several pieces. The rest of the assassins spread apart and some used their wings to fly above him in order to keep their distances away from him.

Asura glared at them with hate and said, "You really think you are safe from me with a little distance? You will die. All of you. None shall be spared!"

The shadows around the area began to extend and joined with Asura's shadow. Then the shadow expand through out the area that covered all of the floor. From the darkness, shot out hundreds of dark tentacles that *Kerip* ripped the remaining assassins apart. Not even the flying assassins were spared as they were dragged into the shadow where they were *Kerip* ripped apart and *Crunch* crushed into nothingness. None were spared.

Asura created a new skill called Shadow Of Death.

Shadow Of Death
He controls the shadow around him with his magic and solidify them in many shapes that he can command to attack his enemies with.

After the assassins were killed, the shadow receded back and returned back to their original places. Asura devoured the remaining corpses and look at the last one, Thrall. He saw that the crystal ball was shining brighter and brighter which made everyone cover their eyes. When the light subsided, Chrysalis, Insectum and Asura look in shock at what was standing in front of them.

The thing that was standing near Thrall stood at 10 foot tall. It was a hulking being whose muscles out done Asura's muscles. It had a metal brace on each of its wrist and ankles. A bone came out from each of its elbows. It wore an armored skirt like a samurai. It wielded a huge axe-sword that seemed to be made out of solid stone. It had black messy hairs, red eyes and sharp teeth. All in all, it looked like a monstrous figure that shows true strength.

Thrall smirked at their shocked expression. He said, "This is a gift from my master for my loyalty to him. According to my master, this being that I have summoned is a demi-god. He was once hailed as a powerful hero but due to the jealously from another god, he was cursed with madness and soon became a hate filled creature that attacks everything in site. When he died by poison, he was cast down into Tartarus where he forever beat and kill the souls. His name is Berserker Heracles."

Asura could very well see how strong this being looked. He was wary of this Heracles as he was something else. Thrall did say that Heracles was a demi-god. So it was a powerful being that he is facing.

"GGGGGGGRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Asura tense his muscle when Heracles charge at him with such speed that was unnatural for such a large being. However, with his eyes, Asura was able to see him and gather some power in his right arm. He clench his right fist and when Heracles came closer, Asura said, "Gyojin Karate Sen Maigawara Seiken"!

Asura gave a powerful punch *Bash*. Heracles grunt in pain when he was hit in the chest and he skid several feet away from the human. A small trench was made in the floor when Heracles skid on it.

Gyojin Karate Sen Maigawara Seiken or Fishman Karate Thousand Brick Fist
A much stronger version of the Hyaku Maigawara Seiken. This move can break through one thousand tiles.

Asura was surprise that Heracles didn't flew back or fell on his knees when he punched him that hard. That punch should have at least destroyed some of his organs but Heracles just stood there like nothing happened to him. This shocked him very much as his attack should have killed him but it didn't. This being was something different from all the monsters he fought and killed. Just punching Heracles once gave him a lot of info about him. He needs to be careful as he fight this being.

Thrall said, "What are you doing Berserker! Your master has given you to me so obey my command! Kill him and then kill the queen! But spare the filly as I have use for her."

Heracles growled in rage and charged at the human with his axe-sword behind him. As Heracles ran closer to Asura, he tense his muscle and look at the being's muscles. He saw how Heracles was preparing a strong attack. When Heracles was closer, he swung his axe-sword at him with all his might. Asura saw the axe-sword coming towards him. He raised his right arm in front of him in order to stop it. However, instead of stopping the attack, something unexpected happened which took him completely by surprise.

Asura was lunched away at a wall and he *Crash* through it. Chrysalis and Insectum were shocked to see Asura being hit away from the monster's attack. Thrall was grinning like a mad man as he was the great monster hunter launch away from Berserker's attack. He was right in bringing out this creature to aid him in fighting against the human. He began to think of what he will do after Berserker deals with the human and killing the queen. He will begin to conquer the other kingdom with Berserker's help. With an unstoppable force besides him, he would soon become the ruler of Equestria.

Thrall said, "Good Berserker. I see that you are able to deal with the human. Before you engage him, I want you to kill the queen and bring me the filly. After that, you can take your time with the human. Now go!"

Heracles snarled and charged towards Chrysalis and Insectum. When Heracles was about to reach them, *Crash* he crashed into an invisible wall. It was a "Sound Wall". Heracles look in front of him and saw nothing. He use his hand to feel something solid in front of him that stop his advance. Heracles growled and raised his axe-sword above his head. He then brought it down on the invisible wall and began to attack it continuously.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

Chrysalis was scared from the beast but at the same time, she was happy that the sound wall Asura made protects them from it. Speaking of Asura, she was worried about him. She has seen how he fought and killed stronger monsters but this beast was able to hit him with such strength that even he was thrown away. She hopes that he is fine and not hurt.

*Crack*

Chrysalis came out of her thought when she heard that sound. She look in front and gasped in horror at what she saw. Cracks began to form on the sound wall as Heracles attacks it.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Crack* *Clang* *Clang* *Crack*

More and more cracks keep on spreading on the sound wall as it sustain damage under Heracles attacks. Chrysalis hug her daughter in fear as she saw the wall slowly breaking from the beast's attack. She only hope that Asura is okay.

With Asura

Asura lay on the floor on his back and was a bit dazed from that attack. He was really not expecting that kind of strength from a 10 foot beast. Because of this, he let his guard down which cost him. He then feel pain coming from his right arm. He look down and was surprise to see that his right arm was broken and was hanging by some flesh and skin. To not only have enough strength to hit him away but to get pass his "Unbreakable Skin" was surprising to him. Looks like the "Unbreakable Skin" can only stop an attack to some extent. If the attack is a powerful one then the skin will break. So this mean that he has to use "Tekkai" again.

Asura realized what he did with Luke Cage who he got the DNA from. He was able to pierce the hero's skin with his "Shigan" which he put in a lot of strength into it. This proves that his "Unbreakable Skin" is not that great or he may be able to fix that in the future. Yes. With various DNA, he will be able to make his "Unbreakable Skin" the unbreakable.

Asura began to think about the beast's power status. For something only 10 foot tall, it packs quite a punch. 'Oh yeah' he thought. Thrall did say that Heracles was a being called demi-god. A being born from a god and mortal. A being that has godly trait and strength. A being that was able to harm him! Asura growled at this. He will not let something like this beast harm him or his family! He will destroy Heracles and devour him!

Asura got back up and his virus healed his severe arm. He ran through the walls as he think about the beast attacking Chrysalis and Insectum. He *Crash* charged through several walls and *Bam* ram into Heracles who was about to swing his axe-sword at Chrysalis and her daughter. Asura launched Heracles through *Crash* several walls and away from the queen and her daughter.

Asura knew that Heracles would not go down that easily. He will have to fave him alone and without any distraction. Speaking of distraction, he look at the last assassin, Thrall and appeared in front of him in a burst of speed.

Asura grabbed Thrall and said, "You! I'll deal with you later."

Asura's eyes changed into Mangekyō Sharingan which he used to swallow Thrall in a swirl and into his Kamui dimension.

After trapping Thrall, Asura appeared in front of Chrysalis and Insectum. The filly hugged his leg and look up with teary eyes. She asked, "Is mommy going to be okay?"

Asura bend down and hugged the filly. He said, "Yes she will be fine Insectum."

This made the filly smile. Asura touch Chrysalis's with his hand and a red membrane spread out from it, covering her whole in a red cocoon. After a few seconds, the red membrane returned aback into his hand. Chrysalis was now fully healed.

Chrysalis look at herself and hugged him. She said, "Thank you Asura. Thank you so much."

Asura hugged her and said, "It okay Chrysalis. I will always help and protect my family. Now I want you and Insectum to leave this castle."

Chrysalis asked, "Why?"

Asura said, "I am going to fight that beast."

Insectum asked, "Is he really that strong?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes he is Insectum. Heracles is a a being born from a god and mortal. He possess godly blood and is very strong. Strong enough to hurt me."

Chrysalis eyes widen in fear but Asura took away her fear when he said, "I am going to fight Heracles with my strength. When I fight him, it will be like I am fighting a storm. I want to focus on fighting him without any distraction. So you two must leave this castle and prevent others from entering it, for they will only become distraction for me."

Chrysalis nodded and held Insectum. Before leaving, she kissed him and said, "Be safe my love."

Asura smiled and nodded. Chrysalis and her daughter left the castle. Now Asura was alone in the castle with the demi-god. He turn around and walk towards Heracles to where he was thrown. He ripped out one nail of his left bicep, another nail from his right bicep and two from his shoulder blades. Thus giving him access to 40% more of his power. He needs this power since he is going to fight a half godly being.

Heracles stand up in a room and look around to see where he was thrown. Heracles soon found who thrown as was pissed off that a mere mortal had did this to him. Heracles growled when he saw the human walking into the room through the hole in the wall.

Asura glared at the demi-god with hate and bulged his muscles. He said, "Bastard. You got guts in trying to harm my family. For that alone, you will suffer and die painfully!"

"GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Both of them roared and charged at each other and when they clashed.

Outside The Castle

Chrysalis and Insectum ran out of the castle and into the streets. She stop and rested for a while. She found that she was able to use her hive mind and called in her guards. A huge group of guards arrived before their queen.

A guard said, "My Queen. What is it you require of us?"

*THROOOM*

They all look at the castle and saw it shake from that shockwave. From the castle, several sounds of wall breaking, floor crushing, furniture breaking, door busting etc were being heard.

A guard asked, "My queen. What is happening in the castle?"

Chrysalis said, "Asura is fighting a beast of great strength in there."

The guard asked, "Where did the beast came from?"

Chrysalis said, "A group of assassins of our own kind came in to kill me and become ruler of this kingdom."

The guards growled at that thought and asked, "Then we better get in there and get them."

The other guards nodded and were about to enter the castle when Chrysalis stopped them, "Don't go in there. Its not safe."

The guard stopped and said, "But my queen. What about the-"

Chrysalis said, "Asura has already dealt with the assassins. Only the beast is left to which Asura is fighting it alone."

The guards were grateful that the human have saved their queen from being killed and is now fighting a beast of strength.

A guard said, "Then we better help our savior and join him in fighting this beast."

The other guards agreed but Chrysalis said, "No don't! You all will only get in his way. He already told me to stop anyone from entering the castle until he deals with the beast."

A guard said, "But my queen-"

Chrysalis said, "I know that you all want to help him but if you go in there then you will become a distraction for him while he fights the beast."

The guards nodded and stand in front of the castle as they heard several fighting sounds coming from it as the castle shook many times from several shockwave.

Insectum look up at her mother and said, "Is daddy gonna be okay?"

Chrysalis smiled and hugged her. She said, "Of course dear. Your father is very strong. He won't let some beast stop him like that."

Insectum smiled and look back at the castle and shouted, "Go daddy! Show that beast what you are made of!"

This made the guards cheer with her. They all began to cheer for Asura to beat the beast and win.

Inside The Castle

*Boom* *Smash* *Crack* *Bash*

Inside the castle, two beings of immense strength were fighting each other to death and from the looks of it, neither of them wants to stop until one of them dies. Asura punch and kick the demi-god while Heracles swung his axe-sword and punch the human. Both of them attack each other without defending against their attacks. Each attack was brutal meant to kill a normal person but these two are far from being normal. That's why they survived the attacks and continued to attack each other.

Asura was bleeding heavily and healing at the same time. He was impressed with Heracles strength. Heracles was strong enough to penetrate his "Unbreakable Skin" with his weapon and his punch carries power that hurt him. However, Asura didn't care since he can heal from those injuries.

However, Asura was having difficulty in fighting Heracles. This demi-god was getting stronger and stronger as the fight went on. He even pulled out two more nails to increase 20% more power. This time he was fighting equally with Heracles. After much bashing around and destroying more stuff within the castle, he punched Heracles who punch it back and *Crack* broke the human's arm. Asura was shocked to see that his own right arm was broken in a test of strength. This pissed him of so much.

"You piece of shit!"

The virus realigned his arm back in place and healed it. He glared at the demi-god in much hate and gave a devastating punch to Heracles. Asura pulled his right fist back and poured a huge amount of power in it. The water in the air gathered in front of him. Heracles growled and charged at him and when he came close, Asura punch at him through the gathered water and hit Heracles in the stomach.

Asura shouted, "Gyojin Karate Gosen Maigawara Seiken"!

*THROOOM*

Gyojin Karate Gosen Maigawara Seiken or Fishman Karate Five Thousand Brick Fist
A much-stronger version of the Senmaigawara Seiken. It is a very powerful punch. This attack is fifty times stronger than Hyaku Maigawara Seiken and five times stronger than Sen Maigawara Seiken. It can break through five thousand tiles with ease.

Since Heracles outer skin was strong as steel much like Asura's "Unbreakable Skin", the monster hunter used this attack to inflict huge damage on the demi-god. Heracles did not expect this and simply charged at the human but that soon turn to be his downfall. When Heracles was hit by that attack, the punch did nothing to him as his steel skin negated most of the force but it failed to stop what the punch was suppose to do. It failed to stop the incoming shockwave.

A huge amount of shockwave were released from the water that traveled through Heracles skin and spread through out his body thanks to the blood inside of him. The shockwave damaged much of his internal organs as they spread out though his blood. Heracles flew back as blood came out of his mouth. Heracles went through *Crash* several walls and scraped the floor. Soon he came to a stop. He then slowly rise as he felt pain through out his body. Heracles puked out loads of blood but still he stood tall and growled at the human that did this to him.

Asura saw that Heracles was able to get back up which frustrated him. He can't go all out as that will destroy the castle and some part of the kingdom. He look around and saw several weapons of the assassins that he devoured. He grinned evilly as a plan formed in his mind.

Asura look back at Heracles and said, "You really are a strong one Heracles. You have taken some of my most strongest punches and still stood tall. Well, I did not expected this from you but then I realized that you are no ordinary creature. You are a being that has been born from a god and a mortal. You are a demi-god and such you have none of my respect."

Heracles growled at him. He began to charge at him but stop when he saw several weapons floating above the ground.

Asura said, "Do you know why you have none of my respect?"

Heracles look at him waiting for his reply and what he got only made him angry. Asura said, "Its because you are born from a god. A god who doesn't help his own creation. A god who simply sees his own creation die in pain and despair and does nothing to help them!"

The weapons the pointed towards Heracles who take a defensive stance for the first time when fighting the human.

Asura said, "God is not needed and as such you are not needed for this world. You will die but in a cowardly way. You will die before you even come close to me. You will die like a piece of trash!"

Asura used his "Telekinesis" to control all of the weapons and with a wave of his hand, the weapons flew at the demi-god.

Heracles began to swung around his axe-sword as several weapons flew at him. He swung around and *Crackle* broke them. He side step and roll away to avoid getting impaled by the flying weapons. He *Clang* blocked them and bashed them away but the weapons still fly back towards him. Heracles was dogging and swinging around his weapon like a mad man. For several minutes, Heracles swung his weapons to block and break the weapons. Heracles kept on dogging but even his stamina was beginning to ran out.

Heracles panted and look around. He thought that he had broken enough weapons so their numbers would be dwindled down but that didn't happened. To his shock, he saw several weapons flying around him. How could this be? He knows that he has broken a lot of weapons so why is it that there are still more? Heracles eyes widen when he saw the reason to the weapons number.

Asura was not only controlling the weapons but he was also repairing them. When Heracles broke a weapon, Asura simply used his power to repair them and throw it at the demi-god. Heracles broke more and they were repaired again and throw them at the demi-god again. This way, the number of weapons didn't dwindled but remained the same. So Heracles guarding himself against the weapons was nothing but a waster of time.

Asura grinned at Heracles and said, "My oh my. Aren't you getting a bit sluggish? Lets see how long can you defend yourself against these weapons. Lets put a bit more force in them shall we?"

Asura now put some power into the weapons to make them stronger and fly faster. He used "Telekinesis" to shot the weapons at Heracles with eye blinding speed.

Heracles eyes widen and swung his axe-sword at the incoming weapons in order to defend himself. Well, at least he tried to. when Heracles hit a weapon, his own weapon was recoiled back from the force behind the weapons. He found out that they were faster and much stronger than before. While he was in a state of shock and defenseless, two weapons flew straight at him and *Shik* impaled the demi-god through his chest.

Heracles eyes widen when he felt the pain but ignored it as he became angry at the human who did this to him. He swung his axe-sword in order to bash away the incoming weapons. He was successful in doing so as he put more strength into his swing but some weapons managed to get past his defense and impaled him. This made him angry and he growled at the human in hate. How dare a human did this to him.

"GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Asura smirked at the demi-god and said, "What's this? Is the demi-god crying about getting hurt? If you don't want to get hurt then you should have stayed where you should belong. You should have stayed away from my family and now because of what you were trying to do, you will die. I will show you your place, which is beneath my feet!"

Asura shot out more weapons at the demi-god and impaled him. Though Heracles did managed to deflect some weapons away, the majority of the weapons impaled him. This went on for some time and after that, Heracles was straining to stand on his feet while his body was riddled with several weapons that impaled him. A lot of blood was flowed out of his wounds that drenched his clothes. Heracles stumbled in his steps but still kept on standing as his breath became ragged.

Asura seeing how the demi-god struggled to stay on his feet made him a little bit forgiving. Just a tiny bit. No! No mercy to his enemy! No mercy to his family's enemy! They will be punished and they will die without mercy!

Asura said, "Ohhhhh. Well I see you still refuse to fall. Even after all of that, you are still willing to go against me. For that, I will give you a bit mercy. And that mercy is ... to toy with your pathetic existence!"

From Asura's back, several chains came out and shot towards the demi-god. Heracles was shocked and when he tried to dodge it, he failed since his body was wounded severely. Heracles gathered his strength and jumped into the air as he avoided the incoming chains but he failed to see one chain coming up from behind him.

*Clang*

Heracles is hit from behind and flew down to the floor *Crash*. When the dust settled, the demi-god is found lying in a huge crater is formed. Heracles struggles to stand back up and growled in pain. Even if his body was severely damaged, he would not give up. So he simply girted his teeth and slowly stand back up on his feet.

Heracles saw that several chains float around him, just waiting to attack him. He does not like this and growls at the human. He gripped his axe-sword and prepared himself for the incoming attack. As soon as the chains flew towards him, Heracles spin around and swung his weapon at the chains *Clang* that pushed them away. A small smirk made its way to Heracles mouth at the success of his attack. However his smirk soon turn to a growl as he saw the chains coming back towards him.

Several chains flew at Heracles and knock him around like a rag doll. A chain grabbed his leg and began to swing him around like a lasso and throw him throw *Crash* several walls. Next, Heracles was dragged back and throw up and *Crash* hit the ceiling. Then *Crash* slammed him into the floor several times that shook the castle.

Heracles was whipped on his back by the chains making him scream in pain. The chains flew and hit his body, limbs and face. His nose was cracked and bleeding heavily. Blood also came out from his mouth but Heracles didn't gall after that brutal beating. Heck, some chains hit him so hard that his skin was damaged and were able to pierce him. After brutally beating him around like a frigging rag doll, it was time ti end this. The chains flew at him and wrapped around his body and limbs, restraining his movements.

Heracles struggled to free himself but was unable to break the chains. How could this be possible? Because the chains were not normal by any means.

Asura said, "You must be thinking how mere chains are able to hold you yes? Well, that easy. These chains are called "Enkidu" or in this case, "Chains Of Haven". They are specifically made to hold down godly beings such as you."

Enkidu
Chains made from the blood of an Uzumaki that runs through his blood. With a bit of Holy magic, the chains becomes special that can be used to held or capture godly beings.

Asura said, "You have been captured Heracles. Cease your struggling and surrender."

Heracles didn't listen and kept on struggling but the more he struggle the more his confidence waver. Heracles has fought countless opponents and won each of them but now, he was not only being beaten but also toyed with.

Outside Of The Castle

All of the guards stand in front of the castle as they held their breath. All of the fighting noises coming from the castle suddenly stopped. The guards look at each other and talked about it.

"Is it over?"

"The castle has become silent."

"So Asura has won against the beast?"

"I think so."

"What do you mean you think so? Of course he won!"

"Yeah! Asura is our savior!"

"There is noway he could have lost against whatever he was fighting."

"Yeah!"

A guard approach Chrysalis and said, "My Queen. I believe we should go inside now."

Chrysalis said, "No. Not until Asura comes out from the castle."

The guard said, "But my Queen. I think that its safe to go in now."

Chrysalis said, "Why do you say that?"

The guard said, "All of the fighting inside the castle has stopped. I think the fight is over and we are safe to go in and see what happen."

Chrysalis look over at the castle and saw how silent it was. She thought about it for a while and then thought about what happened to Asura. She nodded and said, "Okay. I want 5 groups of guards to accompany me inside the castle while the rest of the guards stand right here in case something happen. I also want 5 group of guards to keep my daughter safe."

The guards nodded and 5 group of guards went with Chrysalis inside the castle while 5 group of guards stayed with Insectum while the rest of the guards stand in front of the castle.

Inside Of The Castle

Chrysalis along with 5 group of guards entered the castle and search for Asura. Soon they came into the throne room and gasped at what they saw. There right in front of them in the middle of the throne room was a monstrous being that was restrained with several golden chains. Also, the being was impaled by several weapons but the creature still stood tall.

The whole group stood still with their jaws on the floor and their eyes bulging out. They all stare in utter awe and shock at what the thing Asura was fighting alone. To them, it was a monstrous being that could destroy their whole kingdom. It would truly be their death if Asura was not here to face against this creature and win.

They also saw Asura standing besides the creature and he was panting. They saw that his clothes were ripped in some places and they were smeared in blood. Chrysalis gasped at that and ran towards him and hugged him.

Chrysalis said, "Asura! Are you okay!? Are you hurt!? Is this your blood!?"

Asura chuckled and hugged her. He said, "I'm fine Chrysalis. I admit that this beast is a strong one that hurt me but not anymore. Look. He can't move or harm anyone anymore."

She look at Heracles and saw how he couldn't free himself from the chains no matter how much he struggled. She sigh in relief but then realized that someone was missing.

Chrysalis said, "What happen to him?"

Asura asked, "Who?"

Chrysalis said, "The one who came here to kill me. The one who summoned that thing. Thrall. Where is he? Did he get away from here?"

Asura said, "Oh him. You don't have to worry about him anymore Chrysalis. I have him trapped in a dimension where he cannot escape from."

Chrysalis sigh in relief and asked, "Thanks goodness. What are you going to do to him?"

Asura said, "He tried to kill you and tried to take away Insectum. For that he will be punished severely. He will pay dearly for this. No one gets away from harming my family."

Chrysalis smiled and hugged him. She said, "Thank you Asura for being in my life."

Asura hugged her and said, "As do I Chrysalis."

After hugging for a while, Asura asked, "How is Insectum by the way?"

Chrysalis said, "She is safe and outside of the castle. She is really worried about you."

Asura smiled and said, "Well, she will be happy to hear that I am okay. I won't leave you two alone. Ever."

Chrysalis teared a bit at that and said, "Thank you."

Chrysalis look back at Heracles and said, "So what are you going to do about that thing?"

Asura said, "Hmmm. Heracles is a demi-god and such is a very powerful being that can toe to toe with me. Most of my attacks didn't damage him much. I'm thinking of taking him to a secure location and see just how durable he is and what weakness he has. After that, I'll just kill him."

*Clang* *Clink*

All of them look at Heracles and saw him struggling against his restraint. Heracles growled at his situation. He could not believe what was happening to him. A being as powerful as him was wrapped in chains and captured by a mere mortal. Him! A demi-god was captured. And now, he was being humiliated in the presence of others. He couldn't take it anymore which made him angry which in turn raised his strength.

*Clang* *Clink*

A guard took a step back from the raging monster and said, "W-what sould we do about him? It look like he does not like it?"

*Clang* *Clink*

A guard said, "Oh come one. What can it do? Is wrapped in chains so there is nothing it could do."

*Clang* *Clink*

Another guard said, "I don't know but I think you should stay away from it."

*Clang* *Clink*

The guard said, "Oh really? What's it gonna do?"

*Clang* *Clink*

A guard said, "Come one man. Step away from it. It looks like its about to rip you up!"

*Clang* *Clink*

The guard said, "Oh please. Its beaten and captured. Its finished."

"GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Heracles roared in rage and his struggle against his restraints increased more and more.

*Clang* *Clink*

Asura saw Heracles increase in strength and look at his chains closely. He saw that some cracks were forming on them as they were being overpowered by Heracles.

Asura shouted, "Get away from! He's going loose!"

*Clang* *Clink* *Clang* *Clink*

*Crack* *Crackle*

That did it. Heracles broke his restraint and the cocky guard that was near him was the first one to be killed by his axe-sword. After the guard was kill, Asura quickly pushed Chrysalis away as Heracles lunge at him and tackled him *Crash* through a wall.

"RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Asura roared as he battle with Heracles again. Heracles just won't let this go and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the monster hunter. Asura dogged and blocked while he attacked as well. However, since Heracles strength increase drastically, his attack didn't do that much damaged. he needs to us some powerful attack but he can't do there as there are innocent lives here.

Heracles roared and hit him away with his axe-sword. Asura crashed into and wall that fell on top of him , burying him underneath it.

"Asura!" Chrysalis shouted.

This gained the attention of Heracles and he began to ran towards her. The guards saw this and charged at the beast while some came towards their queen and protect her from him. Heracles growled and swung his axe-sword at the changeling guards who were *Shing* cut apart and thrown away. It didn't take Heracles long when he reached the queen. After swatting away the last guard away, he look down at the queen and raised his weapon above his head with intent to kill her.

Chrysalis was frozen in fear at the site of the beast that was upon her in a short time. She saw how easily her guards were killed and was terrified when the beast raised his weapon to kill her. She could do nothing but close her eyes and pray for Asura to save her. Which was heard by him.

Asura who was buried under a collapse wall heard her and saw Heracles was about to kill her. His eyes widen and went red in rage.

*Boom*

The collapse wall was blown away when Asura dash towards Heracles. Before the demi-god could swing his weapon down at the queen, Asura came being him and wrapped his arms around Heracles waist. Asura bend down a bit and jumped up and *Crash* crashed through the ceiling.

Asura jumped with such strength that he and Heracles crashed through all the floors of the castle and even crashed through the roof. He crashed through the castle and went up towards the ceiling of the underground kingdom and *Crash* crashed through it and above the surface. Asura and Heracles left the changeling kingdom and went to the surface.

Bad Land Desert

From the sand, burst out two huge being and crashed one the soft surface of the desert. After landing, Asura kicked Heracles away from him and glare at him with hate. Heracles stand up and glared back at him with equal hate. Both of them glare at each other and waited. Silence took hold of the air as both figures stood still.

A nearby snake was slowly making its way towards a desert lizard who was unaware of the impeding doom. When it felt that it was in danger, it was too late. When the snake snap at the lizard, that was the signal that made the two huge figures charge at each other as they roared with hate.

"GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

*THROOOOM*

Changeling Kingdom

The walls of the under ground kingdom was shaking as the two beings batted to the death on the surface. The changeling civilians were running around in fear. The mothers were taking their children back into their houses to protect them from this Shaking. Chrysalis came out of the castle and was immediately hugged by her daughter.

Insectum look up to her mother and asked,"Is daddy okay mommy?"

Chrysalis hugged her and said, "Sure he is dear. Daddy is very strong."

This made Insectum smile. A guard came and said, "My queen! There trouble!"

Chrysalis said, "What is it?"

*BOOOM*

Another shockwave went throughout the kingdom and several cracks began to form on the ceiling of the huge cave.

The guard said, "With all of this going on, several cracks are forming on the ceilings and I'm afraid to say that we may have little time before the ceiling collapse on top of us. What should be we do?"

Chrysalis began to think what must be done. She knew that Asura will take care of the beat. So there is nothing to worry about that but now she needs to do something for her kingdom that might be on its way to being crushed by the ceiling.

Another guard came and shouted, "My queen! We must evacuate everyone out from here before the ceiling collapse on all of us!"

*BOOOM*

More cracks formed which terrified the civilians. Chrysalis formed a plan and said, "Guards! I want all of the mage units to spread around the kingdom at once!"

A guard said, "But my queen. We must-"

Chrysalis said, "Do it! Or we will die!"

The guard shut up and obeyed. Soon all of the mage units were spread around the kingdom and awaited orders.

A guard came to her and said, "My queen. It is done. What now?"

Chrysalis nodded and said, "Now, we save out kingdom from being crushed."

The guard asked, "But how?"

Chrysalis said, "Just watch."

Chrysalis used her Hive Mind to talk with the mage units, "Is every mage unit spread ready?"

"Yes my queen!" came the reply of hundreds of mage units.

Chrysalis said, "Good. I want half of you to create a shield around the kingdom. Now!"

"Yes my queen!"

Half of the mage units used their magic to cover the kingdom in a green shield. Just in time too. Several huge rocks fell from the ceiling and hit the shield and made some cracks on it. The mage unit kept on sending magic into the shield which repaired the shield.

"My queen. What do we do next?" The mage units asked.

Chrysalis nodded and said, "Good. Now I want the rest of the mage units to repair the ceiling."

"Yes my queen!"

The rest of the mage units used their magic to repair the damaged ceiling. The huge rocks that hit the shield were levitated back up into the ceiling and became apart of it again. With their magic, the cracks were repaired in a short time.

*BOOOOM*

Another shockwave came and made more cracks on the ceiling and several more huge rocks fell down on the shield. The mage units again used their magic to protect the kingdom and repaired the ceiling.

"My queen. How much longer do we need to do this?" Asked the mage units.

Chrysalis said, "As long as we need to until Asura kills the beast."

"But my queen. We can't do it for long. Our magic is running out." Said the mage units.

Chrysalis said, "Don't worry about that. I'll send magic support to all of you. So continue and protect this kingdom for as long as possible."

"Yes! My Queen!"

Chrysalis look at the guards and said, "Listen to me guards! I want all of you to go to the mage units and supply them with your magic. They are running out of their magic and we can't have that as they are the only ones who are able to protect this kingdom. Go!"

All of the guards saluted and said, "Yes! My Queen!"

All of the guards then ran towards the mage units and supple them with their own magic. This really saved them as the mage units magic supply were refilled and were able to protect the kingdom.

*BOOOOM*

Another shortwave went throughout the kingdom and the mage units protect the kingdom while the guards supply them with more magic. Chrysalis look at all of her subordinates working hard to protect the kingdom.

Chrysalis look up at the ceiling and said, "Please Asura. End this soon. I don't think my guards would be able to protect my kingdom for long."

On The Surface

Asura and Heracles were fighting against each other in a brutal way. Both of them were bleeding heavily again but Asura simply recovered from it with the help of his virus. During the fight, he heard what Chrysalis said and he needs to end it sooner or the kingdom would be crushed. Asura has been punching, kicking and using Fishman Karate on the demi-god which damaged him greatly but he still refuse to go down.

This infuriated Asura and began to think of another way to get pass through Heracles though skin. After thinking for a while, he got one way. Asura bough both of his hands together and clap them together. He did some form of hand signs and clap his hand again. This technique that he was doing was a bit difficult as it required three different element chakra, Earth, Wind and Fire into one. Several dust began to flew from the sand below and swirl around his hands and legs.

Heracles saw this and just growled. Thinking that mere dust would be able to do anything thing against him. However, if he knew what the dust meant then he would be cautious. In fact the dust were really dangerous to anything. Heracles charged at the human and prepare to attack him with his weapon.

When Heracles reach the human, he swung down his axe-sword at him. Asura saw the incoming axe-sword and punch it. Heracles almost laugh at that stupid way of stopping a weapon. The demi-god didn't care and continue his attack with intent to cut through the human's hand. However, that didn't went his way.

*Clang* *Bssssss*

Heracles stood there with a stupefied expression. He couldn't believe what just happen. He look at his axe-sword and saw ... well most of the weapon was gone as dust flew from it. Heracles didn't know what happen to his weapon and look at the human for answers.

Asura saw this and said, "You might be wondering what happen to your weapon? You were thinking of cutting through my fist and then cut me up but that didn't happen now did it?"

Heracles growled and waited for him to explain to him what happen to his weapon.

Asura said, "As for your weapon, well the simply way to say this is that your weapon crumbled into dust."

Heracles look at him with a confused expression and look at his weapon. He saw that from the end of his missing weapon, some dust was falling from it. How can this be? His axe-sword was specially made for him and it was unbreakable. But now, half of his weapon was turned into dust. He was so lost in his thought that he was caught off guard.

Asura said, "Don't turn your eyes away from your enemy or you will get hurt!"

*Bash* *Bsssssss*

Heracles roared in pain when he was punched by the human. He staggered a bit and look down at his chest. His eyes went wide in disbelief at what he saw. A small part of his chest was dented inwards and his skin and flesh was missing. Several dust was flowing out from his wound. Heracles look back at the human in confusion.

Asura took a stance and said, "I just found a new way to bypass your though skin. This new way gets me through your defenses. This new style is called "Dust Style Disintegration Martial Art". With this style, I an able to manipulate dust and use it to disintegrate anything on a molecular level. Which means that no matter how though your skin or how perfect your defense is, they are nothing against this style."

Heracles growled at him and charged at him. Asura said with a grin, "Ready or not. Here I come!"

Asura lunge at Heracles which caught him off guard. Asura *Bash* punched the demi-god in his left cheek. *Bsssss* The sound of the flesh on Heracles left cheek turning into dust alarmed him. He roared in pain as the muscle on his left cheek became visible. Heracles swung his half weapon at the human who *Clang* kicked it away which *Bssss* turned into dust. Now Heracles was weaponless. His axe-sword was turned into nothing but dust.

Heracles saw the remains of his weapon turn into dust right before his eyes. His weapon that he has been using for so long that decimated his enemies was destroyed completely. With the loss of his weapon, Heracles became furious. No! He was pissed off. How dare a mortal did this. Not only, did the mortal harmed him but also destroyed his favorite weapon. With a look of pure rage, Heracles charged at the human with a war cry.

Asura on the other hand was simply calm. He felt how angry the demi-god was but he didn't care. All he knows that he is going to make Heracles scream in pain and that's it. Heracles lunge at him with a punch to which he simply dogged it by turning his head a bit to the right. As his attack missed, Heracles was defenseless which Asura took the opportunity to give two devastating blows to the demi-god.

Asura pulled back both of his fists and give *Bash* a "Double Hammer" to the demi-god's stomach. Heracles bend down and held his abdomen in pain as part of his abdomen was *Bsssss* turned into dust. Asura pulled back his right fist and opened it. He then gave *Bash* a palm thrust to Heracles chin that launched him up into the air. The flesh on the demi-god's lower jaw *Bssss* turned into dust and exposed his muscle.

While Heracles was in the air, Asura appeared on top of him and *Bash* stomp on his chest, lunching him down towards the desert. *Crash* Heracles grunted in pain as part of his chest *Bssss* was turned to dust. Heracles slowly began to stand back up as his body scream in pain.

Asura landed a few distance away from the demi-god. He saw how Heracles was struggling to stand back up. He took this chance to dash towards him while his guard was down. Asura will not let this demi-god go free. Heracles will be punished severely by giving him as much pain as possible before finally killing him.

When Asura reached Heracles, he grabbed his head and *Bash* knee him in the face. *Crack* From the sound of it, Heracles nose was broken from that hit and as well as part of his face *Bssss* turning into dust. Heracles head was launched back but that attack and he roared in pain but he didn't get to retaliate as the human *Bash* elbowed him in the right cheek. Now the left cheek *Bssss* turned to dust as his muscle was exposed.

Asura was effectively taking down Heracles defense. It was like destroying a sand castle by simply stomping it. Heracles was screaming in pain when ever he was hit and when he was hit, part of his body was discriminated into dust. After beating the demi-god for a while, Asura leaped back a good distance away from Heracles. He stand there and look at the demi-god.

Heracles was standing with most of the flesh absence from the face, chest and abdomen area. He was bleeding heavily from his wounds, his body was trembling but still he was standing even after all of that beating. Asura was really impressed by the demi-god's durability.

Asura said, "You really surprise me Heracles. even after all of that punishment, you still stand before me. I got to say that if it was anyone else, they would be dead already but you! You are one stubborn bastard. My new fighting style sure is deadly but it lacks one thing. Speed. Since you still stand against me, I'll just have to take it up a notch."

Heracles roared at him and began to ran at him. He snarl with intense hatred against this mortal. All it wants is to kill the human and then kill off the changeling kingdom. Little did he know that today was the day that he will breath his last.

However, as Heracles came near, he suddenly fell on his knees and started puking out loads of blood. He was confused as to what happen to him to vomit this much blood out. He look to the human for answer.

Asura said, "Hoooooo. I see its working. You ask whats happening right? Well that's simple. Your insides have been damaged severely. How? Let me explain. I am using Dust Style to turn your tough skin into dust and here were are fighting in a desert where dust is plentiful. There is dust even in the air."

Heracles was confused for a while and then his eyes widen when he realized where the human was going with this.

Asura continued, "Yes. You have been inhaling a lot of dust into your lungs. From there, the dust entered your blood stream. Once they have entered your blood stream, I simply commanded the dust to transform into tiny sharp blades. Yes. Those tiny sharp blades are running through out your body and cutting you apart from the inside out."

Heracles was seething in rage. He was being mocked and humiliated by a mere mortal. With an energy boast, Heracles again charged at the human with a war cry. Asura saw Heracles running towards him and he smiled.

Asrua said, "Thanks for coming to this world Heracles. For you have gave me a new fighting style. Now I am going to improve this style by adding a bit of speed into it. Lets see what happens shall we?"

Asura disappeared from Heracles site and the next thing he knows is that he was launched backward when the human *Bash* kicked him in the chest. In the next second, Heracles found himself being hit all over his body. Asura unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks upon the demi-god. Heracles tried to attack but the human was too fast for him to hit. Heracles could do nothing to defend himself against the human's onslaught. Almost all of the flesh on Heracles body was disintegrated into nothing but dust.

As Asura was beating the crap out of Heracles, he said, "Take this and that and this and that and this and that and some of this and some of that and a little more of this and a little more that that and some of this and a mixture of this and finally an uppercut!"

*Wham*

Just like he said, Asura gave a powerful uppercut at Heracles lower jaw that send him flying into the air. When the demi-god was in the air, Asura formed some hand signs and slamed them on the ground and shouted "Earthy Style Flying Earth Daggers"!

Several sharp rocks emerged from the ground and lunched towards the air born demi-god like a bullet. Heracles body was *Shik* *Shik* *Shik* skewered by several long sharp rocks. His body was now riddled with sharp rocks. The rocks were able to pierce the demi-god as most of his tough skin was disintegrated into dust. Heracles fell on the ground *Thud* and was rendered unmovable as most of the sharp rocks impaled him in his joints.

Asura look down at the barely alive body of Heracles and scoffed at him. He said, "Looks like your finally down. Ehhh boy. Well now I am going to kill you and make sure that no one finds your pathetic body."

Asura made some hand signs and slammed them on the ground and shouted, "Earth Style Earth Whirlpool"!

The sand around Heracles began to move in a circular way. Soon a huge amount of sand was moving around Heracles like a whirlpool. Large boulders were swept into the whirlpool and Heracles was trying to get out from it but he kept on sinking into the sand. Soon the demi-god was swallowed up whole by it and buried deep below the ground.

After Heracles was buried deep in the ground, Asura formed more hand signs and slammed them on the ground again and shouted, "Sand Style Desert Burial"!

All of the sand that was near the demi-god under the ground began to compress him with such force that *Crunch* he was crushed and so ended his life. After killing Heracles, he sigh in relief that it was over.

Asura said, "Damn. Fighting a demi-god is a pain. Killing him was even a bigger pain in the ass. Well, now its done and its over."

Asura suddenly realized something and did an epic face palm *Smack*. He said, "Shit! I forgot to take a DNA sample of that demi-god but now I can't since he is crushed into nothingness."

Asura was glooming over the fact that he could have gotten a DNA sample of a demi-god was able to fight him head on. Damn! If he had that DNA then he would gain some special trait from it.

After a while, his face brighten up when he remembered something. He said, "Oh yeah! I did impaled him several times with the weapons back at the underground castle. A lot of his blood was spilled there. So I just need to go back and take the blood sample. Good. I should see how Chrysalis and Insectum is doing."

When he turned around, he stop when he saw Chrysalis, Insectum along with some guards coming towards him.

Asura walk towards them and said, "Hey you all."

"Asura!"
"Daddy!"

Chrysalis and Insectum tackle hug him who hug them back. He said, "Hey you two. What's all the worry about?"

Insectum look up and said, "Is the mean monster away?"

Asura smiled and said, "Of course the monster is away. Daddy is really strong. No monster can match my strength."

Insectum nuzzle into his chest and said, "Yaaaa! Daddy is the strongest!"

Chrysalis said, "I'm glad your okay Asura. You had me worried."

Asura said, "Its okay. The thing is dead. How is the kingdom by the way?"

Chrysalis said, "The kingdom is safe. While you were fighting with that thing, the ceiling of the caves were breaking from it."

Asura said, "Oh. Sorry about that. If I knew about that, I would have finish my fight quickly."

Chrysalis said, "No. You don't have to apologize for it. In fact, I should be thankful to you. Because of you taking away that beast away from my kingdom, the civilians of my home were spared from all the destruction from your fight."

Asura smiled and said, "Thanks for that. Good thing I took Heracles out here and fought here rather than back in your kingdom. It would have destroyed a part of your kingdom."

Chrysalis hug him and said, "Thanks for that Asura. Again you have done something for my home."

Asura kissed her and said, "I always help those who needs it."

Chrysalis said, "What about Thrall? Is he still trap in ..?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. He is still trap in another dimension. I'll personally deal with him later. For now, lets get back to your home and rest for now."

Chrysalis nodded and they then began to walk back to the kingdom. However, their walk was halted when the ground began to shake. Asura look around in search of the cause of this tremor and he found it. A few distance away from him, the ground bulge out and then exploded.

*Boom*

When the dust settled, everyone, except for Asura, were horrified at what they saw. After the dust cleared, a huge 10 foot tall figure was standing there but what shocked them was that all of its skin was red. They then realized who this was. It was Heracles himself and his red skin was actually muscle. all of his skin and flesh were destroyed underground. Only his muscles remained.

Heracles growled at the mortal that dare did this to him. He was beaten, thrown, impaled, skewered, have his skin and flesh disintegrated, bone broken etc but still he stand against the mortal.

Asura was happy and angered at the same time. He was happy that Heracles was still alive which means that he can now get a DNA sample from him. He was angry that even after all of that brutal beating, the demi-god still stand against. It looks like he will need to permanently kill Heracles. That means, to devour him completely.

The guards took defensive positions in front of Chrysalis, Insectum and Asura. Insectum was trembling at the site of the monster and its appearance. However, he stop trembling when she was embraced by her daddy. She look up and saw him smiling down on her. A red aura was released that washed over everyone that took away their fears.

Asura then gave Insectum to Chrysalis and said, "Wait for me until I am done with Heracles. He will die right now."

Chrysalis took Insectum and kissed him. She said, "Be safe my love."

Asura smiled and said, "Always."

Asura then calmly walk towards the demi-god who was now running towards him. Its about time he kills this demi-god for good. Asura formed some hand signs, slammed them on the ground and shouted, "Ice Style Nitro Prison"!

The water in the air around Heracles and in the sand beneath him began to solidify and in the blink of an eye, the demi-god was encased in solid ice.

Everyone look in disbelief at the frozen block of ice that now contained the demi-god. The were really shocked to see someone using ice skill in the middle of hot scorching desert, which was impossible for them to do since it was too hot here.

Asura then walk towards the frozen demi-god and stop right in front of him. He held out his right arm and said, "Well Heracles. I think its time for you to die. But know this that you didn't die from a mere mortal. You died by the hands of a monster hunter. You are not a godly being. Just a mindless monster that needs to be put to end. Good bye."

Asura's right arm bulged as his muscles tense. Power began to gather in his arm as he said, "1 *Biki* 2 *Biki* 3 *Biki* 4 *Biki* 5 *Biki* 6 *Biki* 7 *Biki* .."

Asura's muscle in his right arm bulged with each number he say and with each number, power gathered in his arm. His goal was to reach 30 but that didn't went his way.

" 8 *Biki* 9 *Biki* 10 *Biki* -"

*Throom*

Asura was unable to continue his attack when Heracles burst out of his ice prison and *Bash* punched the monster hunter in the face. Asura skid back a good distance and he held his face with his left hand. He grunt in pain as the punch damaged his eyes which was unexpected.

"Asura!"
"Daddy!"

Chrysalis and Insectum screamed for Asura's safety when they saw him get hit by the beast. Heracles saw that the human was blinded and charged at him with intent to kill him. However, even though Asura was blinded for a short time, he was able to hear Heracles approach him and prepared himself.

When Heracles reached Asura, he was prepared to attack him. However, the demi-god didn't expected his attack to be dogged. Asura blindly dogged the incoming attack and countered it with his own incomplete attack and hit Heracles face and said, "Explosion Punch Time 10"!

*Bash*

Heracles face was slammed him into the ground and then *Boom* Boom* shockwaves were released throughout his body which further damaged him. The demi-god was pushed further into the ground with each shockwave that was released. *Boom* With the final tenth shockwave, Heracles was buried in the sand but a while later he jumped out from it, freeing himself. His rage just kept on growing which gave him the energy to keep on fighting the human.

Asura's eyes was healed soon and he glared at the demi-god with hate. It still standing against him and refused to go down. His eyes widen when he saw Heracles looking at Chrysalis and charged towards her. Asura snarled at him and he charged at the demi-god who was going after Chrysalis. Heracles must still be following his order from Thrall.

When the guards saw the beast running towards their queen, they quickly ran in front of her and took a defensive position to protect her from the demi-god. The guards knew that they won't be able to stop the raging beast but still if there is even a chance of protecting their queen, they would take it and give their life for her. Before Heracles would reach Chrysalis, Asura tackled him into the ground.

Asura held Heracles and did a suplex *Crash* that made his upper body stuck in the ground. With few seconds to spare, Asura thought about taking the demi-god away from here and then deal with him permanently. He can't do any powerful attack here in fear of destroying the changeling kingdom. The he did the next best thing.

Asura snap his finger and opened a dimensional gate to a dead world. He then grabbed Heracles leg and toss him into the gate. Asura look at Chrysalis and Insectum and smiled.

Asura said, "I'll be back. Stay safe."

With that, Asura jumped into the dimensional gate and went into a new world. The gate collapse soon after he entered it, leaving behind the mother and daughter for a short time.

Unknown World

Heracles fell into a void for a while and then *Crash* he fell on the soft ... sand? He got up in pain and look around. He saw white sand and white trees that were dead. He look up and saw it was night with a crescent mood in the sky. But most of all that was weird is that there was no noise or any sigh of life around him. It was nothing but white desert for miles and miles.

*Thud*

Heracles came out of his thought when something land away from him. He turn around to see what it was and when he did, he growled in rage. A few distance away, the human that beaten and humiliated him was glaring at him with equal hate.

Asura said, "You are getting on my nerves Heracles. I beat you, I break you, I skinned you alive and yet you still stand against me. You still try to harm my family! That's it! The gloves are off! No more holding back! You son of a bitch!"

Asura tense his body muscle and plan to use something else. Something that would greatly increase his physical strength. He will use the "Eight Celestial Inner Body Gate"!

Play this music for a beat down.

Asura spoke as he release the chakra gates inside his body, "The first gate, The Gate of Opening. Release!"

The Gate of Opening
This allows the user to use 100% of the user's strength. Cannot use for long term. Can only use it for one fight in a while.

Thick blue energy manifested around Asura. This was chakra that became visible and swirl around him.

"The second gate, The Gate of Healing. Release!"

The Gate of Healing
This forcibly increases the user's physical strength and temporarily re-energises the body

The sand began to swirl around him along with the chakra. Soon a big sand tornado was formed that blinded the demi-god.

"The third gate, The Gate of Life. Release!"

The Gate of Life
This increases the flow of blood which increase the user's reflex speed. Thus turning the user's skin red.

"The fourth gate, The Gate of Pain. Release!"

The Gate of Pain
This further increases the user's speed and power. This also cause some of the muscle tissue to tear on use.

A crater began to form underneath the monster hunter due to immense increase in Asura's strength and speed.

Asura's body was overwhelming in unbridled strength. So much strength that he could have dream off and its only half the chakra gates he released. However, at the same time, he was under immense pain as this was tearing some of his muscles apart. It was the first time he used this skill to increase his strength but in time, his body will get use to this and the drawbacks to this skill will be erased.

Asura look at the demi-god who was standing there with a stupefied expression on his face. Looks like Heracles didn't think that he would be facing a mortal that could increase his strength by several folds. Enough strength to overwhelm him! A demi-god!

Asura girted his teeth as his muscles bulge in immense strength. He said, "Your end is here Heracles. Today a demi-god will die and will be devoured by me. Clench your teeth!"

*Zooom* *Throom*

In the blink of an eye, Asura disappeared and the land was torn apart as he ran towards the demi-god with such speed that make him looks like he teleported.

*Bash*

Heracles was met with a rising kick to his lower jaw that send him flying high in the sky. Asura dissappeared and appeared in front of the demi-god. He punched him and send Heracles flying down. However, the demi-god did crashed into the ground. He was instead punched back up into the sky by the monster hunter who appeared in the blink of an eye and disappeared the the next second.

*Bash* Crack* *Bash* *Crack* *Bash* Bash*

Asura appeared and disappeared as he punch and kick the demi-god around in the sky like a rag doll. Heracles could do nothing as he was hit around. He couldn't even make out the area around him as his site change in the next second when he was hit. His body began to take on huge amount of damage and his bones began to crack under the immense pressure of the human's hit.

After beating Heracles around for a while, It was time to end this with a bang! Asura first punched the demi-god towards the ground. He disappeared and appeared on the ground and kicked the demi-god high up into the sky. When Heracles was really high in the sky, Asura appeared behind him and several chains came out of his back and wrapped around the demi-god. After wrapping Heracles up, Asura grabbed him and dive down at the white desert.

As he was descending with his victim, Asura began to spin violently with Heracles in his grip. He spun around like a tornado as he dive down at the ground with such speed that shattered the sound barrier and crashed into the ground.

"Primary Lotus"!

*THROOOOOM*

A huge explosion occurred as they crashed into the ground that send out a small earth quake. Asura jumped out of the explosion and waited for the dust to settle. After the dust cleared, Asura saw that Heracles was ... well dead.

Heracles limbs were broken in so many places and were twisted. Several deep dents were carved into his body and some of his bones pierced out from his body. The ribs were crushed into dust as his chest caved inwards. Heracles neck was bend in a odd angle which clearly showed that it was broken. His red eyes had a dead look in them. The mighty demi-god, born from a god and mortal, a hero in the past before becoming a mindless beast due to madness, lay dead before the minster hunter. Even a godly being stood no chance against the might of a powerful monster hunter.

Asura sigh in relief that it was finally over. He deactivated his four chakra gates and when he did, he screamed in unbridled pain due to several muscles that were torn apart from using the "Eight Celestial Inner Body Gate"! He fell on the ground in pain as his virus slowly heals him. While his body was healing, Asura look at the corpse of the demi-god and crawled towards it.

When he reached the corpse, several tendrils shot out and impaled the corpse before pulling it towards the human and devoured it whole. From the new source of biomass of a demi-god, all of his torn muscles and damaged cells were healed. He even gained some good traits from Heracles DNA.

Upgrade Unbreakable Skin
His iron skin has been upgraded to steel skin.

Body Durability
The durability of his body has been increased greatly. Which means that he can take on more damage before getting tired.

Godly Strength
With the blood of a demi-god, his normal strength has been increased significantly.

Berserker
Can now create very strong infected brutes.

Asura sigh that he got some good traits from devouring the demi-god. He lay on his back and stare up at the moon as he rest. After resting for a while, he stood back up and look around the white desert. Truly there was no sigh of life here. Why is that?

With a shrug, he began to walk in a direction to see what this white desert has. After walking in a single direction for a few hour, he found absolute nothing. It was like this world is dead. As he continued to walk, he heard a sound of fighting. Who could be in this desolated waster land? He ran towards the sound and after a while, he came across a ruin temple. The sound of fighting were coming from inside the temple. So he entered it.

When Asura walk inside the temple, he saw a huge court without a ceiling. In the center of the court were two ... things with weird mask for a face, were fighting each other. On the side of the court were several more of the things in different shape and size that kneel on the floor. Beyond the court were some stairs that lead up to a throne on which a figure sat. This figure wore black robes, a gold chain on his right hand and a gold crown on his head. But the thing that shocked him the most was that the figure that sat on the throne was neither a human or a living being. It was a skeleton.

As soon as Asura step into the court, the fighting ceased and everyone look into his direction. Even the skeletal figure look at him with interest.

The skeletal figure said, "Well well well. What do we have here. A human? And a live one at that? Are you a Shinigami?"

Asura didn't understood what he was asked and answered, "I don't know what a Shinigami is that you are talking about. No. I am a human."

The skeleton said, "Not a Shinigami but a human? Aren't humans suppose to be weak to be here in Hueco Mundo?"

Asura said, "So this place is called Hueco Mundo then? And no. I am not weal because I am more than a simple human."

The skeleton said, "Hmmm. More than a human? Whats that?"

Asura said with a smile, "Well, you can called me a human that has been given the strength to hunt and kill monsters. I am a monster hunter. I am an Evolved. I am a Shinobi. I am Asura. What may I call you?"

The skeleton said, "Hmmm. You are called so many things. I like it. Hear me human. For I am the undisputed King of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan Louisenbairn. I am the Hollow king!"

Asura look around and saw that the other hollows were bowing to Baraggan. He said, "But don't you need a roof for your so called kingdom?"

Baraggan laughed and said, "I don't need a roof. The sky of Hueco Mundo is my roof. All of Hueco Mundo is my kingdom and I rule them all. No one goes against me and live."

Asura said, "That's a pretty big statement you got there. So what are you? And what are the ones with weird mask?"

Baraggan look at him for a while and said, "You really don't know what they are? Considering that you are in Hueco Mundo?"

Asura shook his head and said, "No. Its my first time being here in this world. So everything is new to me."

Baraggan thought about killing the human and be done with him but he was bored for so long that he decided to answer his question. After he is done with it, he would kill the human and devour his soul.

Baraggan said, "Alright. Listen up human. I'll only say this once. We are a race of creatures called Hollows which are born from human souls who for many reasons do not cross over to Soul Society or Heaven as living humans call it. After their death, if they stay in the Human World for too long, they become corrupt spirits with supernatural powers and a hunger to devour souls of others because they feel empty inside. By eating souls, they try to fill that void by devouring other souls. The more souls a hollow eats, the stronger they get and they are pl;aced in classes depending on their strength. Those classes are labeled as Menos, Gillians, Adjuchas, and the strongest level a hollow can reach is called Vasto Lordes."

Asura asked, "What level are you then?"

Baraggan smirk with his skeletal face and said, "I am of the highest level a hollow could ever dream of reaching. I am a Vasto Lordes!"

Asura was impressed that he was in the presence of a higher being. He asked," So are there any other beings out here that have supernatural powers?"

Baraggan said in distaste, "Yes there are quite a few more who have supernatural powers like us hollows. There are those called Shinigamis and Quincies who are able to manifest their spiritual power into the form of weapons. A sword is what a Shinigami use for fighting while Quincies use bows."

Asura said, "I take it you hollows are not on friendly term with them?"

A hollow said, "Damn right we aren't! Who gave them the right to hunt us when all we do is eat to survive!"

Another hollow said, "Yeah! What he said!"

Hollows began to talk between themselves. Baraggan shouted, "Silence!"

The Hollows became quite as they were afraid of making their ruler angry.

Baraggan sigh and said, "It is as what they said. Both Shinigamis and Quincies use their power to kill us hollows. Thought in the past, it seems that they developed some king of rivalry along the way since both sides thought that they were the only ones that should kill Hollows. However, after a while, the umber of Quincies began to fall until only a few of them were left."

Asura nodded and said, "Well, what do you here?"

Baraggan said, "I do what ever I want. I rule everything here. I have an army of hollows under my command. A few moments ago I was so bored that I was planning to divided my army and have them fight to the death against each other."

Asura shrug his shoulder and turn around to leave. He said, "Well, you have your fun. I'll just leave this place."

Baraggan lifted his right hand which signaled the hollows to surround the human, blocking his path.

Asura said, "What is the meaning of this Baraggan?"

Baraggan chuckled and said, "That's king Baraggan to you human! Did you really think I would let you, a live human leave this place alive? No, you will die here and I will get to feast on your soul."

Asura closed his eyes and said calmly but in a dangerous tone, "Do not make an enemy out of me Baraggan. I could have killed all of you without revealing my presence. I could have killed all of you with a crushing force. I could have cut all of you into pieces without you even knowing it. I could have wipe out all of you with a powerful attack. Do not make me angry. For it will be your last day at life."

The hollows around him were terrified but Baraggan didn't took his warning and said, "Empty threats from a mere human. Kill him!"

The hollows fear evaporated when their king ordered them and attacked the human. However, they all stop right in their tracks when they saw the human dive on his hands and began to spin his whole body around with his legs stretched out.

The hollows just stood there in confusion as they saw the human spinning on his hands and was gaining speed significantly.

Baraggan look in confusion and said, "What are you doing human?"

Asura didn't answered and kept on spinning faster and faster. Soon, wind and sand began to spin around him like a tornado. The spinning human soon began to create a powerful vortex that started to pull in the hollows against their will.

The nearest hollow was skidding towards the spinning human. It tried to stop but the pull of the vortex was too powerful and was taken off its feet. The hollow crashed into the spinning human and was *Splork* cut apart into pieces. His legs were acting like a spinning buzz saw that cuts anything that gets near it.

Soon more hollows were pulled into the spinning human and were *Splork* cut apart. The rest of the hollows who were surrounding the human jumped away from him. Baraggan became alarmed when he saw how much speed the human was gaining. Years of ruling made his sense keen and from it, he knew that if the human was not stopped, something bad was going to happen.

Baraggan commanded, "What are you fools waiting for!? Stop him before its too late! Kill him now!"

However, by the time the hollow king ordered his soldiers to stop the human, it was too late. When Asura gathered enough speed, he unleashed a powerful omnidirectional attack.

Asura shouted, "Rankyaku Amane Dachi"!

What happened next left most of the alive hollows stare in disbelief. A compressed air blade was released in a circular manner that spread outwards and *Shik* went through most of the hollows while those who had a sense the attack duck down just before the attack could cut them. The attack spread left, right, forward, back and diagonally. It spread in every direction.

The compressed air blade didn't stop there as it spread more and more and in the blink of an eye, *Shhiik* it cut throughout the ruin temple. From the outside, the upper part of the temple jumped a few meters in the air before crashing down and destroying the rest of the temple.

The attack happen like this.

Rankyaku Amane Dachi
The user stands on his hands and began to spin his body around rapidly. After gaining enough speed, he throws a circular Rankyaku around him at attack the surrounding enemy in every direction.

After unleashing that attack, Asura jumped back on his feet and saw the result of his attack. He has to say that he was really impressed by it. Even if it takes a short time to prepare the attack, the end result is worth it. He look around and saw that almost half of the hollow army was cut in two while the rest were alive and unscathed only because they were able to duck down in time or they would have been killed like the rest.

Baraggan on the other hand jumped up into the air when he saw the compressed air bald coming in his direction. When he was in the air, he was shocked to see that his temple was cut in half horizontally and was destroyed. His castle was destroyed. More than half of his army was dead. And most of all, he was humiliated by a human. A mere human that hollows feed upon. This pissed him off greatly. No one mocks the Hollow King!

Baraggan landed on the floor and said, "How dare you human. How dare you humiliate me in front of my subordinates! After what you did here, you will not leave here alive! I will kill you and I will eat your pathetic soul! Gran Caída (Axe of Ruin)!"

From Baraggan's robes a huge battle axe came out. It was black as the abyss and had two huge pointed blades and a large spike protruding outwards from its center. There are four golden chains present around the base of the spike which appear to extend into his cloak before attaching to an ornate golden bracelet worn around his right wrist. wield the huge axe with a single hand.

Baraggan pointed the battle axe at the human and said, "You will die for what you have done to me human. And you will die slowly and painful!"

The remaining hollows quickly jumped away from the human as Baraggan lunge at him and swung his axe at the human. Asura first avoided the axe as his instinct were telling him that making contact with the axe is bad news. So he put some distance from his opponent and pinked up some rocks. He tried to test what the axe could do. He threw the stones at Baraggan who slashed the stones with ease. Asura's eyes widen when he saw the stones dissolving into nothing dust.

Baraggan saw the human's shocked face and laugh. He said, "I see you have witness a demonstration of my power. I will explain it to you since you are going to die. I am the hollow who represents the Aspect of Death! My power relates to aging brought on by time itself. I control one of the universal law! Time. Anything I touch will rot away!"

Asura eyes widen at that. A being that can control a universal power intrigued him. So much so that he wants to see what he would get if he devours this being. Asura crouched down and dashed towards the hollow king and punch him but something strange happen. When his fist came close to the hollow, he seem to slow down which gave Baraggan enough time to dodge with ease.

This shocked and confused Asura. How cold Baraggan dodge his attack that was really fast. From the corner of his eye, he saw the hollow slowly bring one of his skeletal hand towards him. Immediately his instinct screamed at him to run and so he did. He disappeared and appeared away from the hollow king.

Baraggan saw this and laughed at the human. He said, "Hahaha! What's the matter human? Too afraid to come near me? Hah! In the end, your nothing but a mortal that will die by my hands."

Asura narrowed his eyes at the hollow. He think about another way of fighting this hollow with making any contact with it. He look around and saw several huge broken pieces of the floor. Asura grabbed a big piece and toss it towards the hollow king but to his dismay, the piece never made contact with Baraggan. When the huge piece of stone came near Baraggan, it dissolved into dust.

This attempt to hurt the hollow king made him laugh. He said, "Your attempts to harm me is very amusing. Like I said, everything I touch or comes near me rots away."

Asura growled and used "Telekinesis" to lift several huge pieces of stones and throw them at Baraggan. However, the end result was the same as before. they all dissolved into nothing but dust.

Baraggan laughs and said, "Like I said before human. Death is an absolute certainty in all things. It comes to all things regardless if they are alive or not. Plants die. Animals die. Insects die. Structures rot away and die. People die. Everything around me dies into nothingness. That is my true power. There is nothing you can do against me!"

Asura didn't give up. He lunge at him and did a flying kick, only to be dodge by the hollow king who also grabbed his leg. Asura felt something wrong with his leg and immediately jumped away. When he landed on his feet, he found that his right leg was not responding. He look down in confusion which made his eyes widen in shock at what he saw. His right leg was hanging freely. Like there wasn't any bone left in his leg. Soon his virus healed his right leg by making new bones for his leg.

Baraggan chuckled and said, "You see human. I can't be harmed by anything. And anything I touch will rot away."

Asura began to think of a way around Baraggan's power. How can he combat something like that? There has to be something that he could do against this power. With his advanced brain, he began to think of thousands of ways of combating Baraggan's power. Then his mind clicked when he found the answer. He look at his right leg for a while and then back at the hollow king. He possess something that only he has. Asura grinned at the hollow which confused him.

Baraggan asked, "What are you grinning about human?"

Asura didn't answer and dash towards the hollow king. Baraggan saw this and didn't moved. He said, "Oh. So you are going to attack me with something like a one hit thing? Then so be it. It will be your fall."

When Asura reached Baraggan, he thrust his right hand towards him. The hollow king didn't move and simply let the human make contact with him. Asura did felt that he was slowing down when near the hollow but even then, he didn't stop and continue to push his right hand at him and finally grabbed Baraggan's robe.

Asura look at his right arm and saw how it began to age and started to shrivel up into an old arm. The hollow king saw this and laugh at his stupidity.

Baraggan said, "Didn't you hear me human. Anything I touch or be touched will rot away. You are going to lose your arm if you don't release me."

Baraggan expected to see a shock and painful expression on the human's face but what he didn't expect was to see the monster hunter smirking at him. This greatly confused him. Did the human really wanted to lose his arm rather than releasing him? Baraggan became shocked when he look at the huamn's right arm.

Asura's right arm that was becoming old and skinny rapidly began to rejuvenate back to its original youth. If Baraggan had a fleshy face with eye balls, then his eyes would have bulged out of their eye sockets in disbelief and his jaw would have dropped on the floor. Well, the later did happen as his skeletal jaw nearly unhinged from his skull.

Asura's right arm was slowly returning back to its original youth. How what that happening? How did he came across to battle Baraggan's power? The answer is simple. His Prototype virus. This is how it happened. The cells in Asura's right arm began to get old rapidly but his virus on the other hand started devouring the old cells in order to make new ones that restored youth to the arm. Then the new cells began to age and were devoured by the virus to make new ones. This process went on repeatedly which is why Baraggan's power failed to turn the human's arm into dust.

Asura's smirk soon turn into a grin and he pulled back his left fist. He gathered powered into his left arm which made his muscles bulged. When the energy gathered in his left arm was enough, Asura punch the hollow king in his chest and shouted, "Explosion Punch Time 40"!

*Bash* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Baraggan was lunched backwards when he was punched and soon several powerful shockwave exploded from his body that damaged his bones. Since he was a skeleton in robes, he didn't had any flesh and organ to divided the damage. His bones were the only thing that took on all of the blunt of the force and it was devastating!

Baraggan crashed into the remains of his temple and dug deeper into it with every shockwave that was released in his body. After the shockwave ended, Baraggan slowly dug himself out from the pile of rocks which turned into dust. All of the hollows were shocked to see the appearance of their king.

Most of Baraggan's bones were severely broken. His right leg, left arm, middle spine, some of his ribs and the right side of his skull was broken into pieces. This appearance shocked the other hollows who panicked.

"How can this be!?"

"Our King has been wounded!"

"How could a mere human hurt Baraggan-sama!?"

"Only a Shinigami could harm our king!"

"This has to be a dream!"

"Baraggan-sama is the strongest hollow there is!"

"And the human hurt him!"

Asura smirked at the hollow king's situation and said, "How you like them apples! Huh!? Don't like it on the receiving end now, would you?"

Baraggan snarled and said, "How ... how dare you .... human .... how dare you do this to me! I will kill you if its the last thing I do!"

Asura motion him to come and get him and said, "Come. Lets see what you can do when you fight someone that can go against your power."

Baraggan roared and lunge at him with his battle axe. He brought it down on the human to cut him in two. And he did.

Baraggan grinned at this and said, "Hah! This was your mistake human! you underestimated me and now you die!"

Baraggan laugh like a maniac at the cut human ... only for him to dissipate into nothingness.

Baraggan shouted in shock, "What!? How can this be!"

"Oh. Never heard of after image?"

A voice came from behind the hollow king. He turn his head and saw that the human was behind him in an attack position.

"What-Ggrraak!!!??"

*Crunch*

The hollows gasped in shock and disbelief when they saw the fall of their king. Asura skewered Baraggan through his chest with his right hand. He then lifted the skeleton above the ground. His battle axe *Clunk* fell on the ground.

Asura said, "You have live for far too long. All that knowledge? All that power? For several years, you have wasted them all for what? To be a king and rule this land of the dead? Pathetic."

Baraggan voice came out in a broken tone, "Y-you h-have no r-r-right t-to s-say t-that t-t-to me-e-e! I do w-what I w-want! I l-l-live h-how ever-r-r I want-t-t!"

Asura said, "Then its time your be put down Baraggan. Rest assure that your powers will be put to good use and save life of others rather than take one. If only you let me leave and didn't let your arrogance blind you. You would have lived. It was nice knowing you. Good bye."

Asura then brought the hollow king's head towards his mouth. The other hollows around him were first confuse at what he was going to do but then they gasped at what happen next. Asura opened his mouth and then *Crunch* bite off the skeleton's head and ate it.

*Crunch* *Crunch* *Crunch

Soon, the rest of the skeleton or what remain of it was devoured by Asura. even the golden crown, golden necklace, golden chains and black robes. This day was the day that the king of Hueco Mundo, the one ruling this dead desert for several years, died by the very thing his kind feed upon. A human. Baraggan Louisenbairn, the undisputed King of Hueco Mundo was beaten and devoured by a human. And this happen right in front of the hollow king's subordinates.

After Asura devoured the hollow king, there was still the army of hollow left for him to deal with. He had fought enough for one day. So he will end this within seconds.

"He killed our king?"

"He ate our king?"

"He murdered our king!"

"Kill him!"

"Tear him apart!"

"He must be killed for our dead king!"

Hollows began to march towards him as they surround him. They were not going to let Asura leave this place just like that. Asura was thinking the same. He would not leave any of these hollows alive since they serve the hollow king. Red viral flesh began to move around his entire body. parts of the flesh bulge around as something was gathering within him. Something bad for the hollows who were clueless about the incoming doom.

Asura shouted, "Tendril Barrage Devastator"!

Several viral tendrils shot out from his body in all direction. *Shik* *Shik* *Shik* *Shik* The tendrils skewered all of the hollows that surround him. No hollow was spared. No even a single hollow escape this slaughter.

After skewering all of the hollows, they were pulled towards the human where they were then devoured whole. Every hollow was devoured. Not even a single drop of blood was left behind. After devouring the last hollow, the ruined temple was silent as no one was left alive. Asura look around and see how this place was now devoid of any life.

Asura sigh in relief that it was over. To encounter such creature in a world of death was something new to him. Also, he seems to gain some unique skills from the hollows and the hollow king he devoured. Lets see what he got.

Gained New Powers From Hollow King DNA

Time Dilation Field
He can now project a field around him that slows time, thereby reducing the speed of any target which comes near him and makes attempts to attack practically useless.

Age Acceleration
he now has the ability to accelerate the age of whatever he touches, causing the appropriate damage which comes with aging.

Descorrer
A special ability to open a spiritual pathways called Garganta that can take him anywhere he desire. These Garganta neatly close around them before opening at their destination.

Sonído
It is a high-speed movement technique of the Arrancar that makes a booming or static noise when used. With such speed, he is able to cover tremendous distances in the blink of an eye.

Reiryoku
A new source of power. It is the raw spiritual power a soul possesses. With high Reiryoku, he is more sensitive to the spiritual world and can now see spirits of the dead.

Reiatsu
This is called Spiritual Pressure or the physical manifestation of Reiryoku, which he can release. This can be used like the Intimidating Aura or Killing Intent to stop his enemies where they stand.

Hierro
The user's Reiryoku condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block incoming attacks with ease. The more Reiryoku is condensed, the harder the skin becomes.

Cero
It is a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy that he can fire at the enemies, from the tip of his finger. It takes a few seconds to gather the required amount of spiritual energy before firing it. The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength and spiritual power of the user.

Bala
A technique that fires hardened spiritual pressure that is a weaker version of Cero but, thanks to its composition, its speed is 20 times faster, allowing it to be fired in quick succession. In addition, it possesses more concussive force than a typical Cero does.

Gran Rey Cero
By mixing his own blood with a Cero, he can fire a Cero with much greater attack power and speed, in addition to having a change of color unique to them. This version is many times more powerful than a normal Cero as it disturbs the fabric of space as it travels. Upon release, it spins like a razor as it compresses and decompresses due to the sheer speed and raw power.

High-Speed Regeneration
It is an ability which allows him to heal most injuries very quickly.

Pesquisa
He now has a radar like ability which allows him to measure and locate the level of energy from beings around him.

Gonzui
The user inhales and forcefully rips out the souls of his enemies in a large radius around him and drawn the souls into his mouth. After ingesting the souls, his Reiryoku will increase in the process, while resulting in the immediate death of any afflicted victims. He can only suck out the souls of weaker enemies.

Holy shit! That's a lot of skill he gained from the hollow king. He even got a new source of power, the Spiritual energy. What's more, he got the power to accelerate age of anything he touch and has a new way of transportation to long distances. Also, he got a new ability of not only sensing his enemies position but also sensing their level of power. And lets not forget about this Gonzui thing, the ability to not only suck out souls with just inhaling the air but also increase his Reiryoku. This means that his power will simply keep on increasing by devouring his enemies soul.

Asura look in front of him and saw the Hollow king's weapon. The Gran Caída or Axe of Ruin. He walk towards it and grabbed it. He lifted it with ease and look at it closely. This battle axe is the same size of his "Punisher". He gave a few swings to test out the weapon and found out that it has the same aging power he now possess. Good. A weapon that not only looks evilly dangerous but can rot away things with it. Just one cut and the enemy rots away. Even if it is blocked, the weapon will rot away. So Gran Caída makes a weapon that must be avoided at all cost. Nice.

Asura added the awesome weapon to his arsenal. The virus devoured it and made it part of his body. This is so that he can simply pull it out of his body when ever he wants to. Asura is now very interested in this world that is called Hueco Mundo that he made this dimension a place where he can harvest unique skills and powers from these creatures. He will do that later. For now, he must return back home and meet with Chrysalis and Insectum.

Oh! Before that. Asura used "Kamui" to release his captive Thrall. He spat him out from the Kamui dimension and in front of him. Thrall landed on his face on the sand. He got up and spit out the sand from his mouth. He look around and saw nothing but white desert.

Thrall said, "Where am I? What is this place?"

Asura said, "Your death."

Thrall turn around to see who it was and found a mouth full of razor sharp teeth that *Shlirk* *Crunch* tore through his head and devoured him. Thrall didn't even get the time to scream as shi whole head was bite off and eaten. After devouring him, Asura got his memory and found that someone else hired him and his goons to kill Chrysalis in an effort of enslaving the changeling kingdom. Whoever this master is, is pretty secretive and clever. Not once has he shown himself to anyone but instead ordered someone lesser than himself to do his bidding. Well, when he finds out whoever he is, he is Dead Meat!

Also, he checked his power level and found it to be increased from 160% to 175%. It seems that devouring a godly being and a hollow king gave him a good increase in power. He readjusted his limited as follows.

One in his left bicep 10%
One in his right bicep 10%
One in his left shoulder blade 10%
One in his right shoulder blade 10%
One in his neck 10%
One in his left kidney 10%
One in his right kidney 10%
One in his left lung 25%
One in his right lung 30%
One in his heart 40%

Okay. After limiting his powers back to 10%, it was time to return home. He snap his finger and a dimensional gate opened to his Equestria. When he was about to walk through it, the gate began to change into a new one. Asura was confused as to why the gate changed itself into another one. However, from the gate, he was sensing that a poor soul was suffering greatly and was in need of help. He has the power, so naturally he would help whoever this poor soul is. With a sigh, he walk through the dimensional gate and entered a new world.

Unknown World

Asura exited the dimensional gate and landed on a dirt road. He look around and found nothing but a dirt road, trees and greenery. He look up at the dimensional gate and saw it collapsing into nothingness. With a shrug, he walk down the road towards the location he was feeling where he needs to be. After walking for a while, he came across a wooden gate way. He saw that there were two humans there who must be on guard duty.

Asura used his eyes to take a closer look at them and saw that they were not normal guards. One has long, spiky, black hair and dark eyes. He has a strip of bandage running across the bridge of his nose and a light-coloured marking on his chin. He wore a flak jacket. The next one has brown hair, and dark eyes. His hair is combed down and always covers his right eye. Both of these guards wore forehead protector with a strange symbol embedded on it.

Asura knew that they would not let him pass with how he looks and will be alert around him. However, what he seeks is in this village and needs to pass them without making any commotion. So he used magic to make himself invisible and used "Kamui" to make himself intangible. He also cast magic that make him odorless and soundless. With that done, Asura walk towards the gate.

Asura walk in between the guards and walk pass through the gate without their any knowledge. As he walk through the gate, he saw how this village look. There were several buildings that looked like apartments, shops etc. Beyond the village, he saw a mountain on which four human heads were carved. Must be important people.

Asura began to explore this village without anyone's knowledge. During his exploration, he did some pranks that made him laugh. He saw a line of peoples in front of a store that sells some kind of food. In the line, he saw a beautiful women stand there waiting for her turn and behind her was a male that had the same clothes as the gate guards. He saw how the male sneak some peeks at the women behind.

Asura wanted to hit him but he stops when he got a brilliant idea that made him grin. He moved towards the women and made his right hand tangle but still invisible. He firest rubbed his hands together and then.

*Smack*
"Eeeepp!!"

Asura smack the women's butt loudly that made her jump in surprise. When she landed, she slowly turn around with a shock face when she look who was the one that smack her butt. The man on the other hand didn't know what happen and look at her confusingly.

The man saw, "Um can I help you?"

This made the women angry and her face turn to on of pure rage and fury. The next thing that happened gained the attention of even one around them and made men quiver in fear. The raging women lunge at the man and smash his face into the ground. Then she picked him up with strength that a women should not be able to possess, and slammed him down on the ground multiple times. She beat the crap out of that man and that last thing she did made every man, including Asura, to cover their reproductive organ if they want to be a father.

The women jumped into the air and slammed her knee into the man's crotch. Through out the village, there was a girly scream that came from a man.

"KKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

The poor ham was rolling on the ground in pain as he held his poor busted balls. The women stand back up and she 'Hmf' huffed back into the line which made the other men to get out of her way in fear of facing her wrath.

Asura just left that place and went to another part of the village. There he saw another of this same case. A guy was with a girl who were couples. When the girl look away, the guy ogled at a busty women that was walking pass by him. Asura got another prank idea and went behind the guy. He shoved the guy forwards who fell face first into a pair of soft marshmallow pillows. Which was the other women's breast. This made her scream which alerted the guy's girlfriend and what she saw made her face red in anger.

The girlfriend said, "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

The guy held up his hand and said, "Wait! Its not what you think!"

The girlfriend said, "Oh really? Then what was your face doing in that women's breast?"

The guy sweat and said, "Its not my fault! someone pushed me from behind!"

The girlfriend was not buying it and said, "Stop lying to me! You are just a pervert and did that because I don't have big boobs! Is that it?"

The guy shook his head and said, "No no! Its not that! its-"

The girlfriend said, "How dare you play with my maiden's heart! You're dead."

The girl friend cracked her knuckles and proceed to beat the crap out of the guy. Even the other women joined her in beating the guy who shoved his face into her boobs. When they were finished, the guy looked like he was mauled by ravenous wolfs and was left in a crater. The girls just huffed and went away.

Asura again chuckled and made a mental note of not pissing off any women in this world for it looks like a women's fury can let them achieve new level of power. OK. No more fooling around. he needs to find the one who is suffering in this village. He continued his search till it was evening. He couldn't find the one he was searching for.

*Sob* *Sob*

Asura sigh in frustration and was about to leave the area when he heard some crying. It was a very silent cry that only he could hear with his enhanced ears. Asura walk towards the sound and turn into a dark alleyway. There, what he saw made him his heart ache and at the same time, pissed him off. There at the end of the alley, behind a dumpster, was a small boy. This boy wore rag clothes, had scars and fresh wounds on his body.

Asura look closely and saw that the boy would be at least 4.8 feet tall. He has blonde, spiky hair and blue eyes. He had three whisker markings on his cheeks. Asura saw that tears were running down the boy's face. He was about to approach the boy but stopped when he saw what the boy held. In the boy's hand was a knife like thing that look like a long and narrow triangle thing which he aimed at his chest. he was going to kill himself!

Asura eyes widen at that and immediately jumped at him in order to stop the boy from taking his won life. However, he was one second too late. The boy plunged the knife into his chest and pierced his heart. The boy's limbs fell beside him as he fell on the ground with his eyes closed.

When Asura reached the boy, he was horrified to see the knife sticking out of his chest. Blood flowed out and stained his clothes red. But what made Asura sad was the look on the boy's face. The boy had a .... an expression of defeat. An expression that he was alone in this world. An expression that made him think that he was nothing to the world. An expression that he was unwanted in this world and no one would care about him.

Asura growled at whatever happen to the boy. He would deal with that later. Right now, he needs to save the boy's life. He picked up the boy gently and used "Kamui" to send both of them into the Kamui dimension.

Kamui Dimension

When Asura arrived in this dimension, he immediately cocooned the small boy in viral membrane and began to heal him. The knife was devoured along with his clothes. He began to heal his wounds, scars and pierced heart. During healing, he found out how scrawny the boy was, which indicates that he was starving.

Asura was confused that during his exploration, he didn't saw any sort of orphans. So why was this boy here like this? It looked like the boy didn't get to eat very often. And what about the boy's scars and wounds? The wounds were fresh which indicates that he was beaten before he found him. As for the scars? This means that the boy was beaten daily or on some days. This made him angry. NO! This Pissed Him Off! How Dare A Boy Who Looks Around The Age Of 6-7 Is Beaten Like This! When He Finds Out Who The Bastards Responsible For This Are! He Will Torture Them For Thousands Of Years!

After healing the boy, he made new clothes for him. A simply shirt and pants that kept the boy warm. Then he snap his finger and created a soft bed and lay the boy on it. When Asura was putting on new clothes for the boy, he found something strange. On the boy's belly, there were some marking or like scribe or something. Whatever it is, he doesn't care and clothe the boy. After that, Asura simply waited for the boy to wake up and explain as to why he attempted to take his own life and what happened to his life. Only then, will he will be able to help the boy in his life.

After half an hour, the boy stir in his sleep. The boy rubbed his eyes and opened them. He was scared to see darkness around him as this was the Kamui dimension.

"Hey there little one."

The boy look around and saw a huge 9 foot tall muscular man with a face that send shiver down his spine. The boy began to tremble as he thought he was going to get beaten again.

Asura saw this and said in a soft tone, "Its okay little one. There is no need to be scared. No one here can harm you."

This made the boy stop trembling but still, the boy kept his guard on. After a while, the boy spoke in a whisper, "Why?"

Asura heard him and said, "Why what little one?"

The boy gulped and said, "Why am I alive?"

Asura didn't answer and stayed silent for a while. After a short time, he said, "Its because I don't want to see a child take out his own life."

The boy lowered his head and said, "Why aren't you ..."

Asura had to clear out his ear and need to confirm at what he heard from the boy. He said, "Pardon?"

The boy said, "Why aren't you beating me?"

Asura was taken back by this. Who could this ... He don't know that ... Is this why the boy was in such a bad shape? Has this been happening to the boy in his life?

Asura walk towards the boy who began to tremble a bit. Asura kneel down in front of the boy and said, "Little one. Why do you say that?"

The boy began to cry a bit and said, "Its because everyone else does. I get beaten daily by them."

Asura was keeping in his rage as it was increasing quickly. He said, "Why do they do this to you little one?"

The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know why they beat me but they just do."

Asura saw the boy crying which hurt his heart. He slowly brought down his hand on the boy's head and rub his hair. The boy looks up and saw eyes that shows sympathy, compassion and kindness.

Asura said, "I am sorry that you have to go through that little one. Harming a child that has done nothing to deserve this is unacceptable. I cannot allow this to continue any longer. Little one. I promise you that I will help you in your life and protect you from the ones that wants to harm you. I will see to it that the ones who were responsible for your misery is punished severely."

The little boy was shocked to hear that. No one ever did anything for him. Not even his ...

The boy could no longer hold it and hug him and began to bawl his eyes out. Asura softly hugged the boy and comfort him. After the boy finished crying, he calm down.

Asura said, "Are you okay little one?"

The boy nodded. Asura smiled and said, "Oh! How rude of me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Asura. What is your name little one?"

The boy gulped and said, "My ... my name ...

Asura snap his finger and created a glass of water that shocked the boy. He gave the glass of water to him who drank it quickly.

Asura said, "It's okay. No need to rush. Take you time."

After drinking the water, the boy introduced himself, "Hi. My name is Naruto ... Naruto Uzumaki."
