Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

56  It's Over Now.

The air was thick with tension as Asher and Lucas stood opposite each other, both ready to engage in combat at any moment.

Lucas, with his ferocious nature, glared at Asher with the intensity of a wild animal on the hunt, eager to tear him apart with his bare hands if given the chance.

Meanwhile, Asher remained calm and focused as he studied his opponent's movements closely while trying to formulate a plan of attack without making any mistakes or giving himself away to his opponent rashly.

The atmosphere around them grew more intense by the second as the two men sized each other up, waiting for one or the other to make the first move.

Lucas, with his years of experience, was confident that he would be able to overpower Asher in a fight with ease. However, he still felt somewhat wary of him because of how much damage he had dealt to his minions earlier in the night.

Lucas's eyes darted around, searching for any weakness or vulnerability that might present itself.

Without wasting any more time, both made their way towards each other.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom, and the sound of cracking walls reverberated in the air. The fight between Asher and Lucas intensified as they exchanged blows with each other. Their speed and power increased with each passing moment.

The clash of their fists and kicks created shockwaves that shook the mansion, shattering windows and leaving holes in the walls.

Asher, with his ability to manipulate shadows, used his Abyssal Grasp Technique to bind Lucas's limbs and restrict his movement, while Lucas dodged those tendrils with swiftness.

Feeling that the fight was getting into an impasse, Asher used his illusion technique to create clones of himself, causing confusion in Lucas's mind.

Lucas tried to target the real Asher, but he couldn't get a clear shot due to the illusions.

"What the fuck? Who are you, really? What magic tricks did you use? No matter who you are, I will not be defeated!" Lucas yelled, frustrated by his inability to land a hit on Asher.

Asher smirked at his opponent's desperation, knowing that he was slowly but surely winning the fight.

He continued to use his illusion technique to confuse Lucas and throw him off-balance.

With his senses heightened from adrenaline, Asher caught a glimpse of Lucas's desperate attempt to find him amidst the illusions.

Asher silently used his movement technique to get behind Lucas without alerting him. He swiftly delivered a powerful kick to the back of Lucas's knee, causing him to stumble forward and lose his balance.

In a swift motion, Asher grabbed hold of Lucas's arm and slammed him down on the ground, knocking the wind out of him.

"Urgh. Damn you, damn you!" Lucas cursed loudly as he lay sprawled out on the floor.

Asher didn't miss the chance and instantly summoned his shadow tendrils.

Those shadowy ropes bound Lucas's arms and legs tightly, restricting his movements completely, while Asher walked closer to him with a smile on his face.

Slowly lifting him up from the ground, Asher started bashing him hard on the floor.

"How does it feel like being beaten up?" Asher asked calmly while continuing to pummel Lucas's body with brutal force, creating several bruises and wounds all over his body.

Lucas groaned in pain, feeling helpless against this mysterious kid's strength and techniques.

"You don't know who my big brother is. You will definitely pay for this." Lucas responded weakly after getting hit several times.

"Oh, I'm so scared. Why don't you tell your big brother to come here and save you from this?" Asher sneered as he stopped hitting him and began dragging Lucas's battered body along the floor towards the nearest wall.

Without hesitation, Asher lifted Lucas's head and rammed it into the concrete wall several times.

"I wonder, How will your big brother react to seeing his little brother being so weak and useless?" Asher mocked Lucas while throwing him into the corner of the room.

"Ungh..." with much struggle, Lucas sat on the cold concrete floor and leaned against the wall while bleeding profusely from several wounds on his head.

Asher approached him once again, crouching down next to him and looking straight into his eyes.

"So, what happened? Why can't you do anything against me? or you can only suppress the weak woman? Huh?" Asher asked angrily while raising his fist, ready to continue beating him until he broke.

"No...I give up..please...just stop already," Lucas begged pathetically while trying to shield himself with his arms.

"Do you really think that I will just let you live after all the things you've done to this lady and others? Fuck you!"

"Please..don't kill me...." Lucas pleaded as tears flowed out of his eyes.

But Asher had no sympathy for a criminal like him.

He simply ignored him and continued hitting him until he began to pass out, unable to withstand the pain anymore.

Asher stood up and stared at the figure lying on the floor, breathing heavily and bleeding from several injuries inflicted upon him during their battle.

"Well, that was fun, but it's time to end this now," Asher spoke as he used his shadow tendrils to drag Lucas outside of the room and throw him beside four thugs.

Looking at the figures of four thugs struggling with all the injuries and pain, Asher felt nothing.

It was just some payback. He didn't get any sense of satisfaction or pleasure from torturing them like madmen.

"It's over now," Asher told them coldly.

They all stared back at him with hate-filled eyes but were unable to speak due to their broken jaws and teeth.

Asher then wrapped all five people with shadow tendrils, making them unable to move. Afterwards, with a firm heart, he looked deeply into their eyes and swiftly pierced their throats with a blade of shadow.

Blood gushed out of their necks, covering the ground beneath them as they died silently while choking on their own blood.

Asher quitely watched as the life drained from their bodies with deep fear etched in their eyes, just like how he died in his previous body by their hands. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
