54- What's my name?

Darkness Below, an organization that was feared by many beings It was more true even for the old and primordial gods because this organization was a bully.

It was an organization founded by the top 10 strongest martial artists in the universe, and the purpose of this organization? it was to ease the boredom of these powerful beings.

They will do everything, literally everything, they will clean the toilet if you want to, though, for a big price, of course, they make sure, it will be explosive when they are cleaning it.

Martial artists are not evil, that is the iron rule of being a martial artist, but that doesn't mean Martial artists will not do bad things, Mark was taught by his teachers that what you deemed evil is evil, if not then it's not evil.

Well, of course, still know what's right and what's wrong, he didn't get corrupted by his teachers, but there is one thing that he got from them, the organization itself, becoming the leader and the strongest one at that.

Members of the Darkness Below organization have their top members' own codename, Merlin's codename was The Fool, he was an S-rank member of the Darkness Below, just like how adventurers were ranked.

The darkness below organization also has its own ranking, with the highest being EX with the lowest being C-rank, and even though C-rank seemed very low and sounds weak, but everyone in the Darkness Below Organization is powerful.

They were just ranked based on their successful missions and their loyalty, one of those members was White Reaper, he was an S-rank like Merlin but Merlin's position in the guild was higher than his,. because he did not do that much mission, but his loyalty was unto the top.

It was one of the reasons why he followed Mark immediately when he met him in the Alter Online.

EX-Rank, given to the best of the best, no not just best, but someone who topped every one of the Darkness Below Organization, and the one who attained this rank at a very young age is Mark, codename: The Saint of Zero.

He killed many beings before, there was one event where he fought a primordial god to a tie, but rumors said that Mark didn't fight seriously because it was only a spar, but no one knew the truth except Mark and the ones who watched the match.

The Saint of Zero was mysterious and no one has ever seen him before other than the people close to him, the other members of the organization didn't know how he looks but there is one thing that signifies him.

"..."

Merlin bowed and extended his hand towards empty air on his side, a swirling void appeared as he extended his hand inside the swirling void and slowly pulled out a mask, a black mask with a beak and holes for the eyes. (A/N: Mask the same as Dr.Plague Mask)

Though it only covers half of Mark's face, it was enough to hide his face, Mark took the mask from Merlin and wore it, while Merlin cast a wide spell that made the whole people in the city sleep.

Solomon looked confused at the two at first then he noticed the mask that Mark wore, "Ho? Saint of Zero mask? are you his fan or something? well, no matter, I will revenge my son and you will die by my hands!" Solomon roared then laughed maniacally.

"Like Son like father, both are stupid, I guess it's in their blood?" Mark looked at his opponent under his mask.

"I don't deny that fact" Merlin who finished cast the spell answered.

"Well, let's end this immediately then" Mark sighed then stepped forward.

"Ha! come!" Solomon roared then in the next second, a figure appeared beside him, Solomon immediately noticed this with his enhanced senses and punched toward it, and just like he thought, Mark, caught his punch and was blasted away to little bits.

*Boom!

"Haha! stupid kid! I'm an Emperor Cultivator!" Solomon kept laughing.

"Is that it?" Solomon suddenly heard a voice from beside him, "You!" Solomon immediately turned serious and pulled out the sword that was on his back, "Imperial Sword Exterminating technique! Die!" Solomon swung his sword that was brightening up.

Just then Mark appeared just beside him and extended his hand calmly and pushed his elbow up.

*Boom!

"What the!?" Solomon was shaken as he saw that his sword technique was stopped and his dantian was shaken due to his technique being interrupted, Solomon immediately jumped away.

Solomon looked at Mark who was calmly standing in his original position as if nothing had happened, Solomon grabbed his chest as he panted heavily.

"This is quite disappointing" Mark sighed as he lifted his hand, he was holding a separated finger inspecting it carefully.

Solomon was shaken as he saw the finger in Mark's hands, his eyes started to dim as he slowly raised his hand.

*Spurt!

Solomon spewed out blood as he saw his missing finger, there was no blood coming from the missing finger it was as if his body hasn't realized that his finger was already missing.

"Y-you monster!" Solomon finally realized the severity of the situation, this kid was much more than he looked like, "Solomon was it? what's my name?" Mark turned his head and looked at Solomon.

Solomon didn't speak as he looked at Mark warily, he was thinking of ways to escape his predicament, even if he had to sacrifice his lifespan, he needs to escape from this place, if not, he will really die!

"You won't be able to escape" Just as Solomon was thinking, Mark's face appeared close to him, looking at each other eye to eye.

"F*CK!" Solomon cried out and immediately struck his sword forward with all of his might!

"This is not entertaining" Mark's voice suddenly rang on his ears and in the next moment, he felt he was flying, he saw Mark standing upside down, and next to him was his headless body.

"Saint of Zero" that was the last thing Solomon was able to think, the name of his killer.
