Chapter 121: Finishing The Twins

Nexus slashed with his left. He then moved sidewards as a fast thin blade swung vertically from behind him. He turned around and plunged his right hand forward.

Under the cloudy night sky, his eyes glowed purple.

Koga, the kappa who attacked Nexus from behind, blocked the attack with his sword. He then jumped back. His body was full of claw marks, all of which he received from Nexus. There was also a thin would from a blade he received from Kogo.

Nexus faced Kogo who was speeding towards him. He wanted to continue fighting Koga and totally wear him out, but with Kogo around, it wouldn't be possible unless he goes all out. He, of course, would not want that.

Kogo placed his free hand behind his blade, he casted a spell. Water started to surround the blade after a few seconds.

Kogo neared Nexus and slashed the sword forward. The water that surrounded the sword was released and was now rushing forward in an arced shape. Kogo didn't stop there, he casted the same spell again and again, he did make sure not to use up too much mana.

Kogo slashed forward every time he finished the spell. He was no longer running, but he slowly walked towards Nexus' direction.

Nexus did a 350-degree turn to the side. As for the next arc-shaped water that's coming towards him, he raised his hand, his eyes and the hand that he raised glowed purple. He then balled his hand into a fist and flicked it sidewards.

The second arced water spell that came towards him was turned into a splattered water and was thrown sideways.

Nexus then dodged the remaining few water spells that came towards him. Noticing that Koga was starting to move, he turned to the naga and rushed to him. 

Kogo, who had just finished throwing his spells, followed. 

Nexus raised his hand and aimed it at the ground below Koga's feet. He did a crushing gesture and the ground started to crack, making Koga lose his balance. 

Nexus rushed towards him. His speed, incredible. With his left hand, He then slashed Koga's body diagonally, from the kappa's right chest to the lower hip. He proceeded to punch Koga's abdomen, making him fly a few meters back, slamming into a run-down building in the process.

As Koga hit the grey-colored building, rubbles started to fall from the top. They weren't that large, but they weren't that small either. They fell on the areas around Koga and the last few landed on him.

"No!" Kogo halted as he yelled. His hand tightly clutched his sword as he dashed towards his friend.

However, Nexus blocked his path. He stood in front of him, making sure that Kogo would not be able to reach his twin.

"Out of the way!" Kogo roared as he dashed forward. He slashed his sword and aimed it towards the human in front of him.

Nexus didn't jump back, he faced the raging Kogo head. With his claws ready, he swung his right hand clashing with Kogo's sword. Nexus raised his right hand forward, casting a spell. 

Kogo tried to move, but he couldn't. 

Nexus walked closer and thrust his right hand to Kogo's left rib. 

"Raaa!" The kappa screamed in pain as the human's claws dug into the upper side of his body. He tried to wiggle out, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.

Nexus moved his head closer and whispered. "That is how easy it was to defeat the two of you." 

He had never gone all out for the sake of training and stretching his body. Although he did get to fight with two extremely fast kappas, he wasn't satisfied.

Koga who was covered in rubble already started to stand up. He cracked a few of his bones and casted a water healing spell on himself. He then lowered his body to pick up his sword.

Koga looked at Nexus. "We're not finished yet."

Although he had taken a few dozen hits, he could still fight.

Nexus ignored Koga and continued to fight Kogo.

Kogo stabbed his thin sword forward making Nexus jump back. He followed it with a slash and a punch.

None of the attacks hit. Kogo's movement now seems sloppy. 

Kogo couldn't concentrate as the word Nexus said, got to him.

'That is how easy it was to defeat the two of you, easy it was to defeat the two of you, easy.'

It rang inside Kogo's head affecting his mentality in the process. He couldn't think straight anymore as his mind was filled with Nexus' mocking voice.

'He was just playing with us all this time?' Kogo had a hard time believing it. 

Nonetheless, he was happy to see his twin stand up and ready to join the fray. 

Kogo continued his barrage of attacks while Koga, who arrived behind Nexus, joined in. 

Nexus stepped sidewards as Koga plunged his sword forward.

Together, the two kappas casted a spell, making a water torrent below Nexus' feet.

Nexus jumped backward, his brows scrunched.

They then casted another spell. A large puddle of water appeared on the ground. It slowly turned into a box, trapping Nexus in a water cage. Bars lined up as Nexus stood in the middle looking defenseless. 

Kogo laughed. "What happened to all that talk a while ago."

He had recovered his confidence after seeing the human trapped inside their spell.

Kogo pointed at Nexus. "You fucking human, you made me doubt myself." 

After Nexus told him how easy it was to fight him and his twin, he felt useless. It seemed like all the training he had put in was a waste. He felt that the world was unfair.

But now, after seeing the person in the cage, he slowly regained his nerve. He now thought that what the human said was just to mess with his mind. 

Kogo walked up to Koga and told him about what the man in the cage said.

Koga chuckled. "He was just trying to get to you. Why would you even listen?"

Kogo shook his head. "His spells, if he were to activate it all the time, wouldn't we be dead?"

Koga patted his twins' shoulder. "If he could, he would have done it already, but he didn't which means he doesn't have the ability to do so."

Kogo nodded and walked towards the cage, but after his first step, he was stuck. He scrunched his brows as he struggled to free himself.

Koga was in the same boat as the other kappa. He tried to cast a spell, which to his surprise, actually worked. He then strengthened the cage made out of water magic in front of him.

Kogo followed his lead.

Nexus, who had his left hand aimed at the twins, laughed. "Your party  tricks are useless against me."

He then raced his right hand in front of his chest and balled it into a fist. 

The cage started to shake, the water turned wavy. 

Nexus tightened his fist, and finally, the cage made out of water fell. Nexus closed his eyes as the cage collapsed.

"I'm sorry for cutting our fight short, but I am getting bored, and I can sense other humans in the surroundings. If they see me, I would have to kill them." Nexus walked towards the two.

Koga and Kogo threw water spells at him. However, the spells all missed.

"Save it, I'm not here to kill you." Nexus hurriedly said.

On the outside, he looked fine, but he was currently using massive amounts of mana to keep these two tied down. 

If it were just to kill them, it would have been a lot simpler, but Marcus told him to take the creatures alive, especially the strong ones.

"Alright, in we go!" Nexus arrived in front of them and dragged the two inside the Stone of Destruction.

---

3 humans landed on the area where Nexus and the nagas fought.

The one in the middle had short blond hair. He looked to be around 40 years old.

The person beside the man with short blond hair spoke. "Senator, there was a fight that happened here very recently."

The Senator, Bong, nodded. He surveyed the area. Cracked roads, broken buildings, areas filled with puddles of water.

Nexus' soul sense was wider than Bongs', which is why Nexus knew when to fight and retreat out of this place.

"Widen the search. Remember to capture every single one of those creatures." Senator Bong ordered. 

"Yes, Senator!" The two people beside him nodded and flew off.

Senator Bong smiled as their plans had not suffered a single bump. After a short while, he flew up in the air and started looking for more sea creatures.

----

Nexus arrived in the stone with two kappas in tow. He walked to the chamber and placed Koga and Kogo inside one cage.

As the bars closed, he stopped using his spell and fell onto the floor, breathing heavily. That took a lot out of him, but he made sure not to show any weakness in front of the kappas. If they saw him this tired a while ago, they would have struggled a lot more and his spell might have been destroyed.

"You two stay here." Nexus turned towards the door, ignoring the yells and shouts of the two kappas.

As he got out of the chamber, he scrunched his brows, someone else was here.

He then spread his senses and was astonished.
