The Im Not Main Character
Ashura

“Mary!”

Arcturus immediately approached and sustained a wound on Mary's shoulder. To protect her, Mary sacrifices her left hand.

It was a bad wound, not only the hand was lost but the collarbone was also torn apart. Fresh blood flowed profusely, as if aiming at forming a river of dark red wine.

So why is this happening? Arcturus did not think he would be careless like this. Only because his plan failed did he make others hurt.

But failure is common for him not to care in previous rounds or when he was Evans Canopusius.

‘I'm too stupid!’

Unwilling to repeat the same mistake, Arcturus takes Mary away and away from Mad Dog.

He used the Killer's power and jumped far away.

“You think you can get away?!”

Mad Dog darted towards Arcturus quickly. In a short time he was already right behind Arcturus.

“Leona!”

Arcturus throws Mary to the other side and Leona immediately catches her.

“Arcturus!”

Just as Leona called out to him, Mad Dog kicked Arcturus in the waist and knocked him a few meters away.

Arcturus vomited blood, he felt pain from a kick and sent a tree.

Mad dog walked up to him with a face full of anger.

“You can't be forgiven. Trying to make me a slave, what is your purpose, huh?! In the end all nobles are equal!”

Mad Dog steps in quickly and intends to smash Arcturus' head, but strange things begin to happen. The man who had been lying in the tree suddenly disappeared.

Looking around but finding nothing. In the end Mad Dog's instincts felt danger coming from above his head.

Arcturus was right over his head and darted like a falling bomb with his sword.

CLANGS!

The sword of Arcturus broke in two because Mad Dog held it by hand. But that did not make Arcturus stop his actions.

• are you sure you want to do it?

The Emperor asked him at this seemingly slowing time.

Of course it was because Arcturus had already spoken to him about one thing.

• that'll ruin your body. You might not realize for some time.

Arcturus knew the consequences well. Just like borrowing the power of a Killer, there will always be consequences to be borne.

‘Tak problems. Please just do that. Lend me your strength.’

Just as Arcturus landed in front of Mad Dog, his body began to emit a dark purple glow. That made Mad Dog shocked and wary.

An extremely powerful aura emerged from Arcturus and was so intimidating. Even Mad Dog started to creep because of the magnitude of that aura. Not only that, his instincts began to fidget.

• The Great Emperor, I myself never borrow from anyone, but the one who borrows everything from me.

The Great Emperor began to speak as if chanting a spell.

• I am the owner of everything. Then I let you use my power.

Arcturus felt his body become strong many times over. But on one side he also felt his blood flowing faster until his body heated up. The strangest part was that Arcturus did not feel his heart beating.

• your heart will stop beating while using it. The authority is active and I did not give it to you temporarily.

The second power of the Great Emperor that conquered the earth and stood parallel to the heavens. This was a great power that Arcturus wanted to use at will.

But the requirements and risks are really troublesome.

“Give me more power—”

Arcturus clenched his fists tightly and smashed them against Mad Dog's chin. The movement was so fast that Mad Dog could not dodge it.

“—Ashura!”

That speed was followed by a great force that created a strong wind until Mad Dog crashed into the air.

Mad Dog looked bloody and his eyes whitened, losing consciousness for only a few seconds before taking control of his position. He kept a considerable distance from Arcturus.

“What is your strength that—” Mad Dog was initially surprised Arcturus was that strong. But seeing him once again he was even more surprised.

“Cough!”

Arcturus spewed blood from his mouth. He was breathing quite fast, like a person who ran tens of kilometers.

‘Argh, shit! The effect is more painful than I thought!’

The Pride of Great Emperor had two types of strength. The aura of the Emperor and the last one was Ashura.

The last strength, Ashura is giving a very rapid increase in strength. This power was able to make Arcturus' body regenerate even if his hand was cut off, and his physical strength increased greatly.

However the lack of this power is when activated the blood flow will increase many times faster and the body heat will increase.

Had Arcturus been in that condition for too long, his body would have exploded from overheating. Even internal damage to the body is very likely to occur because the blood spins faster than usual.

Not only that, his heart would stop when activating it.

‘The heart that should be pumping blood will stop and be replaced by Ancient Determination itself.’

• having my strength is the same as two hearts. When you use Ashura, then it is immortality for you.

Arcturus finished spewing blood and deactivated its power quickly. He should be careful in using it.

“Eternity, huh? That means I won't die even if cut into small pieces.” Arcturus muttered so, regardless of whether Mad Dog heard it or not.

Assassin gave a very grateful warning Arcturus.

• five seconds for you to activate it. And, it takes 55 seconds for your body to lower its temperature.

The emperor said so.

Arcturus was surprised that the time he could use it was short, while the run to get activated was quite long.

In a fight like this, even one second was extremely precious. Every minute Arcturus cools down, and uses Ashura for five seconds.

It was a short time for Arcturus to beat up Mad Dog.

“What do you do?” Mad Dog holds his chin bruised from Arcturus's punch.

“As I said .. here is the power of the weakest!”

Arcturus then moved away while throwing the knife he had kept in the ring. Fortunately, he had prepared quite a number of knives.

“Omong empty!” Mad Dog immediately chased Arcturus while fending off the knife thrown at him.

The fog has begun to disappear but for this time Mad Dog prefers to keep his distance and not hit directly.

“I'll keep beating you! Until you at least listen to me!”

“Tak no use talking to weaklings!”

Mad Dog blew his punch, but Arcturus jumped further and dodged it.

His body felt worse every time. Even when he had consumed potions, the effect was not great at all.

• you are weaker than expected. Why would a boy like you have to have my powers?

The Emperor said in a very disappointed and tired tone.

• Looking at the condition, at most you can use it three more times.

The killer gave him valuable information.

Rather than the Great Emperor, Arcturus might have been more pleased if it was the Killer who had this power. How not? Rather than giving him advice and pointers, the bastard complained more.

‘Sial, that's very little. Maybe even my body won't last three times using it!’

Arcturus Religia has trained his physique periodically but it seems that the changes are not great. At least he hopes to have a physique like Evans Canopusius.

But the situation in this world is more worrying than ever. There wasn't much time for Arcturus to train him.

• although you strengthen your physique, if the internals are weak then it will still hurt.

Hearing the Emperor's words made Arcturus convinced to train himself more seriously than to look for other gold mines.

There was no point in gathering a lot of Ancient Determination if he could not use his maximum potential.

As he went through this long thought process, Mad Dog launched another attack.

“It looks like you can't use that power constantly, huh?!”

Slowly Mad Dog began to cut his distance while remaining vigilant. Seeing that Arcturus was aware that Mad Dog was a natural genius that evolved with the course of battle.

‘Sial, how much longer?’

• about thirty seconds.

That's old. Arcturus wanted to complain so, but since Mad Dog already knew the secret of his powers, he needed a stratagem to activate them.

‘What are those bastards doing their job right? What took him so long?!’

Arcturus was looking forward to the help he had prepared for this. Help from the people who made it too late to come to this battlefield.

****

Elsewhere, the aid Arcturus prepared arrived in a cave.

“What is this place?”

“Ya, Sir. I'm sure this is the place Young Master Arcturus is referring to.”

As the two men spoke, they felt something approaching and came out from inside the cave.

Mirae peeked in worry while remaining vigilant.

“What do you need from me?” he asked with suspicion.

The two people widened their eyes when they saw the ears of Mirae's dog. They were certainly surprised to meet the Demon God Dog who was separated from his group.

“We are from Adventurers Association and asked to protect you.”

Hearing the words of the fox girl, Mirae grew more alert and furrowed her brows.

“I don't think the association will welcome me well.”

Surely the Adventurers Association had a very tenuous relationship with the Demon Dog God. Although the relationship is not as bad as the church, it is still not a relationship that will want to entertain each other.

“Huh, let me do the talking, Kitsune.”

Mirae held onto the knife she was hiding tightly as the midget old man walked a few steps towards her.

‘This guy is strong.’

His instincts told him that he had to escape from these two people. But the old man's words made him stop thinking about it.

“Greetings, Miss Mirae. I am the head of the Religious Branch Adventurer Guild. Related to this, I asked Young Master Arcturus Religia to take you and ask for help.”

Mirae silently listened, while Makarov continued to speak.

“Young Master Arcturus said, "I want to be friends with him so please help me" he said.”

Mirae let down her guard, kept quiet and began to tease. On one occasion, he never expected someone who meant to face his son properly.
