《One Look to Rule the Heavens》Chapter 21: Justice!
Advertisement
Marco stares at the defeated girls, even though he never hit them their wills are beginning to break. He can feel the spirit stone still has some use left in it, so he wants to continue practicing.
“Giving up already? We are just getting started.” Marco already has a grasp on Radiant Ghost, so he charges at Milly using Vanishing Mist.
Seeing her not respond to his charge causes the corner of his lips to curl. Reaching out with his palm, it lands on her chest.
Seeing him approach made her think this was the end, and when she saw his outstretched palm she was sure of it. She slowly closes her eyes and awaits death, everything she's been working for is gone, justice defeated.
His palm lands on her right chest, but contains no force. His fingers slowly close around her clothes, using a bit of force he tears her robes. As her robe tears, her small creamy white breast comes into view. The fact that she is only around 15 years old, and her naturally petite body, her breast are still developing. Her nipple is still slightly sunken into her areola, giving her a more innocent appearance.
Milly’s eyes go wide, looking straight at the man in front of her. His crimson eyes stare into her baby blues when suddenly his hand reaches out again.
“Demon!” her spirit once again reignites, not to fight, but to flee. Turning on her heels she begins to run away.
Seeing this Marco is amused, how could she dodge his touch if he really wanted to grab her, with his eyes did he not see every movement of her body as she began to turn?
While her breast may be smaller than the palm of his hand, her butt is ripe for the picking. All the years of practicing martial arts and the fact she specializes in kicks has given her butt a wonderful shape.
Seeing her try and flee he reaches out his hand and slaps her butt. The firm, but the elastic feel is transmitted into his hand. He uses enough force to cause a slight ripple, visible even through the robe.
Feeling his hand touch her sends shivers up her spine, causing her to achieve a speed even she didn't know she could. She charges towards Hilda, whos still on her knees. Even though there are a few scumbags, it is still a righteous sect so no one ever crossed the line. She never had to deal with a situation like this.
Tears stream down Hilda’s cheeks as she resigns to her fate. She's been trapped by this man for a couple days now, and she sees no way to escape. Suddenly her shoulders are shaken, looking down she sees Milly with a frantic look on her face.
“We have to run! The demon is trying to eat us!”
Hearing her words causes her brows to furrow “Eat us?” her gaze finally lands on Milly's breast.
“Let's go!” Milly takes off running again.
Seeing this Marco can't help but wonder, why don't any of them have movement techniques?
He doesn't chase after Milly but instead walks towards Hilda. She stares at him as he approaches.
“Not going to run?”

She silently stares at him for a moment “Will I be able to get away?”
Looking at her dead eyes causes Marco to think for a moment. Her will is already broken as she's been powerless to do anything these past few days.
Hilda sees no reason to run, in a dimension where cultivation is impossible, all she can do is wait to die. What has she been working for practically her entire life? Cultivation is all she knows, she's already 18 this year but only at the 6th gate of Qi gathering. Two years ago she broke into the 6th gate, but she hasn't even budged her 7th gate. So what if outer court disciples fancy her, so what if inner court disciples want her body. Will any of that help her breakthrough? All she wanted was to earn a few spirit stones in the hopes of budging her 7th gate, but now she can't cultivate at all.
Shaking his head he walks past her, this woman tried to run once so he won't easily trust her again. Trying to execute Vanishing Mist, he chases after Milly.
Hilda watches him run past her. She drops down and lays on her back, looking at the black void and floating balls above. She sees the Pixie sitting on one of the balls, kicking her feet and clapping her hands as she watches Marco.
“Are you really happy, being with that guy?”
Marco tries to execute the technique according to his understanding, but his form is full of flaws. Radiant Ghost is about very short burst of speed in any direction, and Vanishing Mist is about extreme speed in one direction.
Seeing him come after her causes Milly to become frantic.
As he chases after her, he's mostly trying to correct his own form. In a few seconds, he's right on her tail causing him to realize he won't be able to get this technique down in a short amount of time. Reaching out his hand he grabs her shoulder, and with a tug, he pulls her back.
As she falls back Marco's arms wrap around her, pulling her back into his chest. She struggles, trying to break free from his grasp, but how can he let her go?
Milly struggles, as his arms wrap around her they begin to squeeze tighter and tighter. Suddenly his lips close around her ear, his tongue licking her flesh.
“Did you really think that you could escape from me?” Marco's hand grabs her right breast, the soft and warm feeling transmits into his hand. Kneading her breast for a moment, his hand then rips across her robe revealing both breasts.
Milly kicks her leg back as she tries to free herself, but it's like kicking a steel plate.
“Let go of me Demon!! Let go!” Her struggling becomes more intense as she becomes desperate.
After ripping her robe he lets her go. Watching her flee brings a smile to his face. Letting her run a bit further he proceeds to chase after, trying to practice his technique.
“Hmm, this technique is at a lower level than Radiant Ghost but why can't I get it??” Marco frowns, playing with this girl is fun but it's not helping him at all. Taking a few breaths a smile returns to his face.

“I greatly underestimated and misused my powers, after this I should head to the northern section and watch people practice and steal some techniques.”
Looking at Milly he darts forward. Instead of getting behind her, he overtakes her and blocks her path.
Seeing him appear before her Milly stops, fear in her eyes. At this point, her stamina is drained and her knee hurts from the constant use of Hurricane Kicks earlier. Thinking about it, why was she even running, where could she go?
Marco’s eyes scan her body, watching her chest rise and fall as she breathes heavily due to exhaustion. Light perspiration covers her skin, giving it a subtle glow.
“What are you going to do to me Demon?” She looks at him, fury in her eyes.
“I want you! I want you to be mine!”
“Never Demon! I'm an ally of justice!! I will defeat you and escape!!”
“Ok, let's fight right now!” Marco looks at her with a smug smile.
“I'm too weak right now, I can't win” she shakes her head slowly.
With the same smug smile, he spreads his arms “How do you plan on getting stronger here!”
Hearing his words she's stunned. He's right, as long as she's here she can never cultivate, how much longer will this single stone last?
Thinking up to here, she actually calms down. After taking a deep breath she throws the stone to the side.
“I challenge you to an honorable duel to the death! No Qi! No weapons! I don't know how you're stronger than me with fewer gates, but let's do this! Winner takes all!” Her eyes now burn with a fiery spirit.
Marco looks her in the eyes before slowly shaking his head.
“Ok, let's go!” Marco throws the stone to the side, causing all his gates to deactivate and his eyes to turn back green.
Seeing this Milly is filled with fighting spirit. She throws her stone to the side and charges at Marco.
“I will not lose in martial prowess! Feel the power of justice!” Milly leaps through the air, performing a jumping sidekick.
Marco performs a cross guard to block her kick. As her foot makes contact it causes him to slide back a few feet.
Seeing that her kick had an effect, Milly becomes pumped. Landing safely she sends out a series of punches.
Seeing this Marco throws out punch for punch. Their fist collides in mid-air blowing each other back, but Milly is slowly building an advantage as she's forcing Marco to step back.
Seeing this scene Hilda is stunned. From the start of the fight till now, Milly has been fighting nothing but air.
As Milly continues to fight air, Marco watches from the side.
Milly performs the none Qi version of hurricane kick, even though it's not as fast, it's still impressive.
Illusion Marco begins blocking the kicks with his palm, as the kick makes contact he diverts all the force in another direction.
“Time to end this game” illusion Marco and real Marco rush towards Milly.
Milly cant see the real Marco because she's no different than a normal person right now her mind is Marco’s plaything.
Real Marco and Illusion Marco overlap throwing out a palm strike. Mill throws up her knee to defend.
Suddenly stopping his palm, he twists his upper body. His leg swings in from the side full force. “Hurricane Kick”
The first kick connects with her ground leg throwing her off balance, the next kick lands on her ribs, and the third kick on her shoulder. She's blasted to the side by the force of the kick.
Milly tumbles on the ground, after rolling a few times she finally comes to a stop. As she's about to get up Marco places his foot on her abdomen, his scarlet eyes staring down at her.
“Don't struggle, you've lost”
Milly bites her lip, unwilling to believe that she lost. Closing her eyes she takes a few breaths.
“I guess justice really did fail.”
Marco squints his eyes “Justice? What is justice? Justice is whatever the strong decide, You don't need your justice, just carry out mine.”
Milly looks confused “The strong decide? Your justice? What about right and wrong! Good and evil!”
“I decide what is right or wrong. If something is beneficial to me than it’s good! If it stands in my way then It’s evil that must be eradicated!” looking at Milly’s face he sees her struggle “What will you do, will you get in my way, or become my Fury!”
Milly struggles as she looks up at him, her face crumpling. Everything she has believes, and the power she attained, was it all a lie? Mom, Dad, is this how you become strong? Why you…
“What” she chokes back her tears as she tries to speak “What do you want me to do?”
The corner of his lips curls as he reaches out his hand.
Milly reaches out her hand but hesitates, and pulls it back slightly. Is this really who she is, who she wants to become? But the duel was to the death...and she lost.
Marco looks at her outstretched hand with greed and desire. His eyes scan over her body, slightly lingering on her delicate breast. His hand doesn't move as he waits for her hand to meet his.
Looking into his scarlet eyes she bites her lip. She takes a breath as she steels her resolve. Her hand takes that last step and grabs his.
Marco pulls her up and hugs her into his chest. His mouth moves to her ear “This was the first step, for the next step I want you to prove that your will aligns with my own. Your first task is to kill Hilda, she has betrayed me once and cannot be trusted.”
Hearing him shes stunned. She leans her head back and stares up into his eyes, as she does he grabs her chin and places his lips on hers.
She tries to struggle free from the kiss but is unable to escape his arms.
Hearing his words Hilda sits up, her eyes trembling slightly.
Seeing Hilda sit up Marco shoots her a death glare.
Marco releases Milly from his embrace and turns her towards Hilda.
He slightly pushes her back.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!
