Marvel: My Own Path

Chapter 19 - Two down, Three more to go

"Huff, Huff." holding her body, Alexandra gritted her teeth and continuously channeled her Chi towards her shoulder, trying to stop the outflow of blood.

And at the same time, raging thoughts stormed its way to her head.

'Who was that?'

'I can feel Chi emanating from him, is he from K'un-Lun?'

'No, impossible! Such a terrifying person doesn't exist in that hidden city.'

'It's also unlikely for K'un-Lun to bring up and train such a person.'

As she continuously jumped down on the stairs in the emergency exit, Alexandra repeatedly glanced outside the window, trying to gauge how high up she was.

A few seconds later...

'This should be enough.'

She thought as she looked outside and measured that she was probably 10 meters off the ground.

Biting her tongue to keep her senses, she smashed open the window and climbed up the edge. Without hesitation, she jumped out of the building while channeling her Chi to her utmost.

*Thud!*

Landing on the ground and using the momentum to tumble, Alexandra knew that she didn't have much time so she simply chose a random direction to run to and ran madly for her life.

However, at that moment, a sense of danger throbbed in her heart. She forced her exhausted body to tilt sideways, allowing her to dodge a black spear that flew past her.

*Boom!*

A loud explosion resounded as a terrifying crater appeared on the ground where the spear had struck.

"Phew." Alexandra sighed in relief seeing this and continued to run hastily.

*Crack, crack, crack*

But then, within the decimated rocks, the black spear flew out from the crater and headed towards behind her.

Alexandra looked back and to her horror, she saw the same figure in black overcoat, his body covered in golden lightning with the black spear back in his hand.

He was only a few meters away!

Looking at Alexandra madly running for her life, Skye smirked and intensified the Hidden Flowing Lightning.

"Try and dodge this," he laughed.

At that moment, a roar of thunder reverberated in the surrounding as the Oathbreaker shot towards its target, its speed breaking the sound barrier.

Terrifying sparks of lightning could be seen circling around the whole of the spear!

Forced to look back, Alexandra cried in despair as she saw her unavoidable death flash past her eyes.

Helpless, the Oathbreaker pierced her c.h.e.s.t and continued flying into the distance while dragging her weakened body along.

Skye smiled and stomped a foot on the ground, launching himself towards the fatally injured woman.

He looked at Alexandra who was standing with her body arched back, with the spear's two-meter long shaft penetrated through her c.h.e.s.t and its spearhead embedded onto the ground.

His eyes apathetic, Skye walked towards her slowly.

Shifting her eyes towards the unfathomable man, Alexandra's bloodied lips opened as she asked with difficulty. "... who... exactly... are... you?"

Skye simply smirked in response. When he clenched his fist, although a smirk was present on Skye's face, Alexandra could still feel the anger emanating from the young man.

'Who is he exactly? What face is hiding behind that mask?' she thought, clearly aware that this was her last moments.

"Not telling. You can die in confusion, lady." Skye said as he channeled his Qi and Hidden Flowing Lightning into his fist.

He raised his fist and swung it towards Alexandra's head.

*Boom!*

Like a butter meeting a hot knife, the woman's face melted and her skull shattered upon meeting with the terrifying fist.

System: [An enemy (Tier 4 • C class) has been slain. You have received 10,000 system points.]

System: [Five Fingers of the Hand slain: 2 / 5.]

Skye looked at his untainted fist for a second before taking out the phone in his pocket for contacting S.H.I.E.L.D. and called Sharon.

Immediately, his call was picked up as her familiar voice escaped the phone's speaker.

"Skye, this is Sharon speaking."

Skye: "Mhm, it's done."

Sharon: "...Done?"

Skye nodded his head. "Both Alexandra Reid and Madame Gao are dead. Please clean up after me."

On the other side of the phone, Sharon, who was currently in S.H.I.E.L.D's New York headquarters, was silent for a while trying to process what Skye had just said.

'He's eliminated those two 'unkillable' women that quick?!'

Trying to calm her shocked self, Sharon replied. "Understood. We will be there in a short while."

Skye: "Okay, their bodies are in..."

"...then that's that. Be sure to contact me at once when you guys find the location of the other three."

After informing the location of the two target's dead bodies and saying the following words, Skye dismissed the call and returned the phone to his pocket.

He then looked at the starry night and muttered. "Mother, father, rest in peace. I've taken care of two of them, now there's only three more to go."

"I'll visit you guys in Arlington National Cemetary soon..."

Taking in a deep breath, Skye exhaled, feeling refreshed.

**********

The next afternoon.

At their house's large backyard, Skye and Jade were sitting on the ground cross-legged, a few feet away from each other.

"Let's start," said Skye as he activated his Sharingan.

"Wow..." Jade exclaimed. Although she had seen the pair of dazzling eyes a lot of times now, she still couldn't help but marvel at how attractive and cool they were.

Skye smiled and knocked her head. "Pay attention, remember, do not get lost in the illusion. Make sure you resist."

Jade nodded her head and at the next second, descended into a trance after meeting the pair of three-tomoe Sharingan.

A few moments later, beads of sweat stood on her forehead, struggle clear on her face.

Skye smiled but at that moment, a system announcement that he had been waiting for, resounded in his ears.

System: [System processing complete!]

System: [The Supreme System is now Level 2.]

System: [Reward: 10,000 system points, Power upgrade (x1).] (Author: Any skill, physique, item, that was picked will be upgraded.)

System: [The number of goods in the System Shop has increased.]

System: [The Fusion Function is now available.]

System: [The three-tomoe Sharingan can now be upgraded to Mangekyo Sharingan.]

'You finally leveled up.' Skye said in his head.

System: [Indeed, the process took a while. Anyway, first of all, pick one power that you have bought from the system. That power will then be upgraded for free.]

'Power?' the system's words sent Skye into a moment of silence as he pondered which of the powers he had he should upgrade.

Sharingan? No, the system had already said that I can upgrade it to a Mangekyo Sharingan anytime.

Coat of Midnight? Nah, I can upgrade that with 10,000 system points so I shouldn't waste this chance on it.

So...

Hidden Flowing Lightning?

Tyrannical Champion Physique?

Kryptonian Physique?
