Marcus was ready to give up. But not with out a fight. Although at this level he wouldn't be able to defeat Deus. As his friend/enemy seem to have retreated back a bit. Marcus attempted to think of any possible ways of winning this battle. Soon his concentration was interrupted by the summoning of the demon lords, 2 of them to be exact. Marcus blocked the onslaught of attacks that the two demons had to offer. He could of actually took them head on if it wasn't for the back to back battles he's been in all day. To make it worse there was a sharp pain that Marcus felt shoot up his spine. The pain caused him to pause and allowed the demons to attack Marcus without worrying of a counter strike. His powers being forcefully taken was what caused the sudden burst of pain. Marcus tried his best to keep his powers and fend off the attacking demons. But he was quickly failing at both. His power depleted quickly and the demons were now playing tennis with Marcus. After his ability to use his powers were gone the demons finished him off by tossing Marcus's lifeless body into the air and elbowing him heavily in the back snapiing and severing his spine. Marcus free falled out of the sky and plummeted into the ground forming a crater. His pupils were gone and blood streamed out the side of his mouth. It was obvious that he was dead or in a very critical condition. [@BranchOfSin]
