《MARVEL FANFIC: UMBRA》CHAPTER 012
Advertisement
Deep in the center of the city, things are about to go down between three powered individuals against a whole Centurion of Myrmidons and the Ghost Rider.
As the Ghost Rider gained the attention of the two attacker, the Myrmidons were able to capitalize the situation. Although there are at least 20 Myrmidon already out from the battlefield, the morale of the Centurion is still at a high level with no one showing any fear.
Each Myrmidon already placed their lives into the hands of their Centurion the moment that they left New Olympus. Centurion Marrow was a Myrmidon for many years so she know most of her men in a personal level.
Which makes the situation harder for her since she was essentially sending her Myrmidons potential damger. However, she can't back down and be soft. This is what they are practicing for. This type of situation are what the Myrmidons where established for. It would be huge disrespect and a slap to each of her comrades if she chicken out and run away from danger.
That is why she is directly involved in the battlefield and is ready to put herself into danger. She was not willing to become a commander that hide deep in the camp.
Marrow is a Myrmidon at heart and she would not back out from a fight. The Faith the she learned from the church of Athena and Ares help her calm down. The Church if Athena tackles fighting Battles Intelligently while the Church of Ares tackles the Heart of a Soldier.
By implementing the lessons that was taught to her, she learned on how to be a battlefield tactician. And right now, Marrow is setting up the field for one of her classic tactics.
"HAHAHA! This is so fun! Time to make you humans feel pain! Your pathetic toys cannot hurt me. For I, Wallow, make you pay for all the destruction that you've done to all the other creations!" Wallow said as he raised his arm to the direction of the river
All water started to levitate towards Wallow which alarmed Marrow that it may be a huge attack. The Centurion realized that it was time to strike while the enemy was focusing on something else.

The Myrmidons that was tossed around by Wallow actually left the battlefield, however their part wasn't just getting tossed around. The real reason why they readily allowed themselves to get flung around was to leave the Bone Armors that was given to them by their Centurion across the battlefield.
These Armor are made up of compressed bones that can withstand impact twice than Kevlar while still being as light as an average Kevlar which made it a valuable equipment.
"Arm the Grenade launchers! Make sure that they are silver fragment Grenades. Aim the Rocket Launcher to the body towards East!" Marrow ordered on the Earpiece as she stood on top of the Hospital eyeing Wallow.
"I authorize the use of Zeus Bomb! Only to arm the bomb along with the Fragment Grenades." The Centurion said as she contemplated that her original plan may not be enough.
As water began crawling towards Wallow, the Centurion decided that it's time for her part. Bone started to be ejected from her skin and wrapped around her body forming a tight suit. As her suit formed, she pulled out her weapon which was a Silver Bladed Glove.
"Rocket Launch in 3...2..1. FIRE!" Marrow ordered as she wait for the result of the Rocket.
The Rocket sailed squarely to Wallow, in which he just grinned and arrogantly raised his left arm as if he was going to catch it.
"Puny Mortals! I am telling you that these so called weapons that you have are nothing but TRASH IN MY EYES!" Wallow shouted arrogantly as he used his arm to stop the Rocket. It didn't do any damge to his arm but unknown to him, the true use of the Rocket was actually met. The rocket wasn't truly meant to be a killing move, It was meant to push the opponent.
There was no inflicted damge to the Water User but the Explosions generated was enough to push him to the desired location of Marrow. "GAHAHA! YOU FOOLS! You have nothing against my power!" Wallow laughed obnoxiously as he looked at the Myrmidons that are charging towards him.
Due to the fact that Wallow was so concentrated on gloating about how the rocket was ineffective to him, he was caught unaware by the sudden attack of Marrow. A punch landed straigh to his face which broke his jaw.

Since Wallow is actually a low ranked Angel before he fell, he was not as strong as the other Fallen Angels under the command of Black Heart. The only redeeming part that he had was his acceptable Water Control and his Battle Instinct gained during the Rebellion in heaven.
So Wallow was shaken a by the punch but he was able to recover after a few seconds. He was still a little bit disoriented but he managed to evade the onslaught of punches. He was so confused that he didn't even thought of turning himself into Water Element which negates physical damage.
Wallows jaws finally healed and he was now ready to face his foe seriously. He leaped away from his opponent but he will fall short as his leg would be caught by a Whip made from the Spine.
Marrow was able to duplicate her spine multiple time and made it a Whip which she used to pull away Wallow towards her. It was a mistake on her part since her opponent would actually capitalize with the situation and fire a Water Ball towards her. Mind you, this is no simple Water Ball. It is actually a Ball that is made from Scalding Water and was tossed with very hight pressure.
Marrow would be able to evade but her left arm was unfortunately caught in the attack. The Water Ball grinded through her Bone armor and was able to crack it a little. From these little cracks, the Scalding Water seeped inside burning the skin of Marrow.
The Centurion hissed in pain but she persevered to fight on. She pulled Wallow toward her and sent a jab towards the same jaw that she hit earlier.
The Fallen Angel was rattled by the punch but his jaw didn't break. As a payback, Wallow grabbed the head of Marrow and pulled her head down to his knee. He would then deliver multiple knee strikes towards her midsection with a force that would make a normal human break.
Marrow would catch the Knee Strike then do a leg sweep which tripped the Fallen Angel. She would then deliver a multiple blows towards the unpritected head of Wallow and even tried to use the blades that her gautlet towards his neck. However the Fallen Angel would raise his guard in time and catcth the arm of Marrow and throw it to his right.
"I grow tired of this scuffle. So die!" Wallow shouted with anger as he raised his hand an formed a sword from water that he gathered from the ambient water sources.
Marrow sensed danger from her opponent so she instinctively thickened her Bone Armor. And prepared for a nasty impact that may kill her. The expected impact happened and she feel her legs digging to the pavement as she try to stand her ground. Audible Cracking was heard from her armor and her gauntlets were obliterated by the impact.
"Centurion! The preparations are ready!" A message resounded on the Earpiece of Marrow which made the Centurion grin behind her Bone Armor.
After the attack of Wallow, Marrow immediately jumped towards him and delivered a solid blow that sent the Fallen Angel to the air.
Marrow ran with all her might to gather the Bone Armor left behind the battlefield and thre it towards the place where Wallow would land. She was able to gather 10 Bone Armor and accurately threw it near to Wallow.
The Centurion then used her Whip to reach the Armors. She would then proceed to imagine changing the structure of the Bone Armor to form a Spere that can contain Wallow whole. "FIRE THE GRENADES AND ZEUS BOMB!" Marrow Shouted.
The transformation of the Bone Armor was was very quick but her men was trained for it. They were able to tossed inside the sphered the Grenade before it fully enclosed.
The unsuspecting Wallow was caught unaware by the plans of the humans he called ants. He was unable to mive away from the Bone Sphere that enclose him. He trided to turn his body into liquid but the Sphere was made without any seams.
As he was trying his best to escape, he was unable to notice the grenades that are laying on the floor.

Humanity won. In the war against the supreme dragons, humanity wrested victory from the literal jaws of the dragons. The strongest species lost their title and was cast down in history as ancient creatures, devoid of any civilization. Their cities, culture, and civilization were completely wiped out, with only the oldest of mages and greatest of anarchs remembering them. Humanity took the achievements of this immortal race and claimed it as their own. Humanity flourished. Now, a thousand years after the war, humanity has forgotten this primordial race. Unbeknownst to even the greatest of humanity's saints, the dragons did not lose to humanity just because of humanity. They had their own hand in their own defeat. But just like they were a cause in their own destruction, they will cause their rebirth without the help of any creature. The dragons will rise again. It's time to reclaim the title of the strongest species.
8 179The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
