Demon Slaying System - Chapter 125
Underground cave, hidden beneath the warlords palace, central division.
Handful number of selected people have gathered at this dark place, which is illuminated by several hundreds of fire torches hung vertically on the walls.
The space in the cave, beneath warlords palace was enormous, almost assumed a dome shape.
To be frank, half the warlords palace could necessarily fit in this place if movable.
But the main component is the gigantic array present below, that seemed more of a city made of copper metal, than the traditional ordinary ones.
The scene had made residents of palace amage in surprise, the each time they look at this beautiful creation.
The fire torches were arranged orderly from place to place, in an intricate manner, to a extent that even a single nook of the cave was not left unilluminated.
” Rey! How did these ants managed to create a huge hideout as this!
Sure enough, these ants managed to dig out a huge hive underneath the main palace. ”
Daniel became interested after looking at the vast space, which made him surprised.
Summon!
Daniel immediately summoned his dragon mount and started flying free inside the dome shaped space of the cave, to his heart content.
The yellow robed assistant became displeased, when Daniel compared her proud existence she belonged to that of an ant.
Each time a word slips off Daniels mouth it irritates her terribly, now that he’s enjoying flying in the cave made of their ancestors hard work, she wanted to interrupt his joy at all costs.
” Miss Rey, stop him! ”
” By his impulsiveness he may blow off the fire torches, which might delay the array’s activation! ”
” What! Torches are components of array? ” Rey questioned her being surprised.
” Yes! ”
” Stop him fast I have no time to explain! ”
Pointing out a shining token of array master association, she tried proving her points to Rey.
The yellow robed assistant played her act well, which might decieved Rey if not for her being an array master herself.
” Haha! You are still ten years too early to deceive this Rey! ” She laughed internally before replying.
” OK I’ll call him back! ”
She drew out her thick black whip, which magically extended hundreds of meters in matter of seconds, binding Daniel as a whole along with his mount.
She pulled them back at a rapid speed, which made him almost unable to understand what’s going around before receiving a hit from Rey to turn unconscious.
The summoned dragon disappeared into a mist, when his summoner was knocked out unconscious.
” Such power! ”
The yellow robed assistant agaped internally, sneering that she made the right move this instance.
” Sorry for the disturbance caused by him, but can we start the array immediately, we are short on time! ”
Rey exclaimed out.
Nodding a “yes” to her, the assistant of palace leader went down, positioning the mana stones in the place, to activate the thing below.
Senior Rey! Even me who isn’t as proficient as you in array mastery wouldn’t get deceived by that measly lie!
Since when did ancients started using fire torches in array?
Even the whole of palace isn’t much compared to him, why did you put senior Daniel at that embarrassing state before? ”
A Red robed executive behind Rey asked her in confusion.
” Haha! She’s ten years too early for deceiving me with that lie!
Right now, our destination is in a chaotic mess, Young Master’s status is not known!
How could this Daniel still have a time to play around, while my heart is beating high in anxiety, thinking of the fate our teacher’s family might suffer as his absence? ”
Rey exclaimed out while knuckling Her arms, pressuring her last words with a bit anger in her wise looking face.
Five minutes later
” Rey! This seems magical… like I am standing on… similar to our ancestral array! ”
Daniel who was seated over the floor exclaimed his words excitedly.
The gigantic array became activated, releasing it’s powerful aura which overwhelmed him thoroughly.
” Comparable to our ancestral array! You have to be joking ! ” She shook her head before continuing.
” Our ancestral array is an cultivation platform for training experts, while this is a teleportation array for transportation.
Do you think that this array is really comparable ours? ”
Senior executive Rey exclaimed out with a revealing smile.
” Haha! As expected, this ancient array from remote place is not comparable to our ancestors creation! ”
Daniel laughed out, bragging high about his ancestors creation.
” Fuck! If your’s ancestor is really that great, why don’t you beg him to arrange a teleportation array for you?
Really, you are too shameless to begin with! ”
The yellow robed assistant cursed him internally.
” Daniel, you have thoroughly misunderstood me!
for visiting.
What I mean to say is that our ancestors array is a grade lower than this teleportation one!
In other words, this Warlords Palace’s history has to be extraordinary, for them to own this terrifying thing! ”
Rey put up bombs on Daniels pride. His reasoning was proven to take a reverse turn, further embarrassing himself!
Daniel wanted to cry at a remote corner to hide his face.
” Haha, she truly have eyes! ”
The yellow robed assistant became excited, when her palace’s legacy was proven much profound by Rey.
” But, wait! How did she figured it out? ” she became confused, ” Miss Rey, you know something on array mastery? ”
She questioned out being curious.
” Haha! If we were to say that she’s well learnt in array mastery, and positioned the prestigious position of Vice Chief in array masters division in house Milton’s, would that answer suffice you? ”
The red robed executives laughed out in unison.
” The hell to begin with! She’s a vice chief of Milton’s in array division.
Don’t tell me that she’s also an elder in array master association… which I have joined recently? ”
Thinking about this shocking revelation, her earlier proud attitude became humble, when the glare of Rey fell over her.
” Haha! I really was ignorant earlier… ” She laughed out before covering her face in embarrassment.
A minute later.
One after the other several large scale semicircular rims started popping from the surface, which later disappeared to the ground after making a completing it’s round above the surface.
” Haha! A little existence like this warlords palace holds this powerful array.
Too suspicious, looks like they have hidden it well, even from the eyes of the royal family! ” Daniel laughed in.
Looking at Daniel that seemed suspicious, the yellow robed assistant put guard against him and started to distance a little, moving towards her subordinates.
” Worry not, we Milton’s would never go low enough, to steal an array from weak! ”
Daniel who noticed her moving away exclaimed out righteously.
” As if I’ll believe you? ” She cursed internally, without bothering him to begin with.
The rims turned molten all of a sudden, and started forming a crack in space, few tens of meters above their heads, in circular fashion.
” Ten minutes, before it begins! ”
Rey exclaimed out, looking the rate at which the array was taking shape and going to teleport them to their desired place.
######
At western warlords palace
Xena’s mansion.
” Fuck! Every one in the mansion are going to die at this rate! ”
Mark, who entered the mansion had bellowed out being angered.
” Let’s check for survivors! ”
In this bloody mess, if there even a single soul left intact with a descent body, he mark would try taking them to Cela’s mansion, who might have an idea in saving them.
Poor thing, mark didn’t even knew that the divine maiden doesn’t have the formula to save her closer ones, much less a stranger who she didn’t even knew to begin with.
” Mana can’t save them, their bodies are slowly corroding irreversibly, and any attempts in healing them could take for a worst turn! ”
But before he could probably interpret what’s going around? A silhouette had started approaching him with a killing intent!
Being a veteran, he sensed it before hand and kicked right at the chest of that person.
Crash!
That figure crashed heavily to a side, forming a negative impression on the walls.
” Are you the one who made these people’s life miserable? ”
Mark roared out in anger.
But contrary to his expectations, the person remained unmoving.
” Did I killed him unintentionally? ”
Mark became worried, he wanted to find an answer from that person, but wouldn’t want him to die easily.
Not without letting him suffer the same fate as his victims, and mark wanted to get the antidote form him if possible..
” kill! ”
All of a sudden that figure moved towards mark at a terrifying speed, trying to kill him in a single blow by his sharp nails.
” An internal struggle? ”
looking at the body guard of Xena, mark tried assuming it, but his reasoning changed all of a sudden looking at the aura of the preperator that seemed off.
” No somethings wrong about him? Aina what’s wrong with him? ” Mark question her with a puzzled expression on his face.
” Ding! The victim is under the influence of curse, try not to get infected by him! ” Aina answered him straight forwardly.
” Cursed! ” So it’s that nostalgic feeling I’ve been sensing since earlier.
” Well… what should I do to undo the curse! ”
Well if it’s a curse, mark felt that there’s a way to undo it.
But system instead of providing him with answers, startled him with her unexpected suggestion.
” Ding! Nothing much, just kill them to set their souls free! ”
