Marco stood silently as he saw off his wives. He was extremely worried but knew he couldn't do anything about it. Deciding to trust Aphrodite 'no matter how unreliable she seems thus far' he began to walk.
When he reached an alley that was deserted he was about to take off. That was until he heard something that made him sigh. "Oi, you give me everything you got or else!"
Thinking that he was hearing things, he started to look about for said burglar. As he started turning his head he heard the guy cocking his gun. Nervously he heard the burglar shout "PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND F**KING GIVE ME YOUR WALLET!"
Feeling bored Marco turned around to face his supposed burglar. The dead look Marco gave him sent a shiver down his spine but he was in too deep now. Seeing how his 'victim' was not taking him seriously he shot towards Marco in an attempt to disable his leg.
What happened next made the burglar's blood run cold. He expected the bullet to bury itself in his victims leg. But he didn't see his victim move, as he was looking around his leg to find a wound a light cough echoed.
When the burglar heard that cough he looked up and couldn't believe his eyes. He saw that the man before him started to distort, the bullet in between his finger.
"Since you have the gall to try me then consider it your misfortune."
Marco slowly began walking towards the man, his eyes darkening into abysses.
He made sure to limit his power to ensure that no one would discover him. As the took slow steps forward the burglar could only shrink in fear.
He didn't know what happened, but after seeing that monster he felt his legs go numb. He wanted to run but found that his legs would not listen to him no matter what he did.
The moment the monster started walking towards him he felt his body grow cold.
As if he was in a horror movie he found that the world was silent, the only thing he could hear was the slow footsteps approaching him.
He felt fear, extreme fear, he was so scared that before he even knew it he was shielding his head with his arms.
As if that was his only defence he waited for the monster to end his misery. The moment the footsteps stopped a cold hand grabbed his leg.
He felt the iron grip of the being slowly crushing his bones, though he wanted to scream in pain the fear he was experiencing made him silent.
He felt that he was being slowly lifted in the air, he knew that it should have been impossible.
He was a 190 centimeters man weighing in around 140 kilograms you know! It shouldn't have been possible to lift him with only an arm.
"Seeing as how I am in a rush today I will be merciful." Marco's deep voice reverberated, this made the burglar breath a sigh of relief.
Unconsciously he relaxed his arms uncovering his face, this was a terrible mistake as he saw Marco's body slowly splitting in half accompanied by a wet slopping.
The gap in between was darkness and sharp teeth, this sight made him wet himself in sheer terror.
He desperately struggled to free himself but only ended up breaking his leg further. He saw how limp his leg was and a radical thought crossed his mind.
He immediately used his good leg to push off against the monster's arm. This action out off desperation cause something miraculous to occur.
The burglar managed to free himself, this action was paid with his leg still being in the monsters hand.
Out off desperation he managed to break his bodies limiter and tore off his own leg.
The moment he dropped to the ground the burglar tried his best to desperately crawl to 'safety'. Seeing this pathetic sight dark arms shot out of the growing maw.
The last thing the burglar heard in his existence was the one word that encompassed his life. "Useless" The arms gripping the burglar pulled him in with the mouth immediately closing upon consuming its victim.
