Demon Slaying System - Chapter 129
” Saint? ”
” Isn’t the pressure exerted out his body corresponds to a peak order aura king cultivation? ”
Lowering his brows down a little, mark questioned Cela with a confused face.
Rule was a typical peak order aura king, the cultivation which mark was able to see even without the assistance from the system itself through his own experience.
In Mark’s eyes, Rule was much weaker than the abyss demon he battled before.
After going through a thing called first refinement, marks strength jumped qualitatively.
He could feel that an ordinary initial order aura king would pose no threat to him at present, even without the use of his treasured blades.
Not to mention the existence of “ways of strength” Marks overall power could now challenge a high order aura king, which was a step below the cultivation of Rule which seemed to be lacking a little in terms of stability.
Though mark had to use hidden cards of his, for defeating the abyss demon.
Mark was sure that if a battle between Rule and him were to take place, he may not necessarily face a disadvantage in terms of experience or be defeated easily.
But looking at Rule, mark could figure that he wasn’t a person of humble background and might necessarily be an important person to her organisation.
” Aura king? Young boy from Milton what’s really an Aura king? ”
As if the term called aura king been new to her ears, cela question back in confusion.
” Don’t tell me that the existence of upper world do exists, and the cultivators of spirit saint realm are called as aura kings in there? ”
Cela exclaimed it internally, and was a bit eager in hearing about the concept called aura kings.
” Ding! Don’t reveal much about your original world? ”
Aina bellowed out angrily, suggesting mark to not slip much about the matters of his world.
” Why? ”
Mark asked curiously, only to get a reply from her which stated
” Ding! Cause the matters of your world has a thing related to…
Wait for a time! This Aina will say those things why when the time is…
Right now host should prioritize in escaping out the palace, it’s not safe to stay here for a long time! ”
Though he couldn’t figure out the reason why Aina was restraining him from exclaiming out his matters.
But the thing that he needs to escape out this palace immediately could be understood by him.
” It’s nothing much to become curious about , but are you all waiting for him to exit out his cultivation? ”
Since some things were not to be divulged at present, mark thought of shifting the topic to an another and guessed out their purpose for staying back in the mansion.
” Yes! ”
Cela replied back being displeased, as mark was not willing to say the term she asked out for.
” First thing they are weak and second their comerad is present in a critical phase of cultivation… yes it would be the right choice as present! ”
Muttering these few lines out his mouth, lightly, Mark looked at the figure of cela devicing a plan.
” What’s he trying to do? ” Cela questioned internally.
Mark took a deep breath before stating ” I’ll search for others survivors and clear a safe way for your group to exit.
How about helping helping me with that thing? ”
Mark asked with a honest face.
” What are you trying to say? ” Cela was not able to under what mark was trying to say about.
” I mean I am going to search for survivors, the ones that aren’t still cursed to become an undead! ”
Extending his hand to her, mark exclaimed out waiting for her response.
” Survivors… yes, we can be called as such. But still, looking for them in hundred such mansions is not as easy as you think it would be! ”
Cela gave her honest thought about marks plan.
Just searching for a mansion entirely might take hours, considering the numbers this palace might have, it might actually take days going through the palace to search for a survivor who might still be alive by then.
In her reasoning it would be a waste of time, and also considering the fact that rule needs protection, her absence would also endanger his life in the threat of undead.
Whoosh!
Traversing at the back of Cela for a second, mark tapped her shoulder lightly, before traversing back at her front, revealing his traversing ability for the second time, if she had failed to recognize it before, when they just met at the terrace after wiping the undead outside the mansion.
” Divine ability! ”
Now only did the group of five understood the reason as to how mark made his sudden appearance before.
” Good! With this Divine ability I think his plan might actually work for real! ”
Cela exclaimed out excitingly.
” But still… do you have any idea for guarding him while he’s ( Rule ) cultivating. ”
Cela asked out hesitantly.
Whoosh!
Taking a pen out the systems storage, mark drew some weird lines which took shape of a rune and by the end of a minute, a minor array in leaf green was drawn before them right on the terrace.
” Array mastery! ”
The students of Cela agaped in surprise.
” He’s a Milton right?
No wonder… he’s been taught array mastery! And his proficiency…
” The hell to begin with! Isn’t that a class 2 mana array? ”
Not just them, but this time even Cela had failed to control her impulse and exclaimed out in surprise.
” Finished! Greenwind slaughter array had been constructed! ”
Mark sat down immediately after constructing the array.
Since it was his first time constructing an array, mark felt a bit exhausting and felt like taking a small break.
Whoosh!
Half the mana stones which he collected since his adventures started pouring out, each of different shades and different sizes with a strange aura of exquisite around them.
Boom!
A revolving Green bolt was instantly formed on the sky, which descended straight towards a small group of undead that were rushing towards the mansion, attracted by the spirit waves emitted by Rule.
A medium sized crater of ten meters radius formed instantly, shaking the ground thoroughly, which completely vaporized the undead along with the ground beneath their feet.
” Too powerful ”
Celtia among the group of Cela’s students jumped up being excited.
A single bolt of green light had killed the numbers which they took minutes to accomplish.
” With this array, unless a powerful undead pops up, it could completely eradicate all things that comes in its trajectory, with a wide range of explosion.
” Now that every thing is planned, how about we start searching for others? I mean for survivors! ”
Like earlier, mark extended his hands and asked for Cela to grab it.
” Alright! Listen well you kids, we are going out to find survivors, don’t mess with this array, use them only when abundant number of undead pops up! ”
Just step in and think where to launch the green bolt, the array will take care of the rest, simple enough right? ”
Mark exclaimed out hinting them that the array was not a thing to play for fun as it is deadly.
” If I find that you have played with it, don’t blame me your teacher for not going easy on you! ”
Right after Mark, Cela counselled them threateningly, clenching her fist as if the punishment she’ll impose on them wouldn’t be a simple thing they could bear.
Whoosh!
Within a single snap, both the figures of mark along with cela got disappeared from the terrace, before popping at the ground few tens of meters away from the mansion.
Whoosh!
Right after they popped out on ground, mark used it again and again traversing few tens of meters with each use.
Within seconds they soon reached a mansion which was dead silent as if the possibility of life was not present within it to begin with.
Wendy’s mansion.
” Ding! No survivors are present in the mansion, leave for the next one! ”
System ( Aina) exclaimed out stating that it was useless to search for a survivor in this place as there were no survivors to begin with.
” Wendy’s mansion! ”
Stating it excitingly Cela let go of marks hands before trying to head in.
” Cela… wait! ” Mark exclaimed out in a low tone, telling her to halt her from wasting further time.
” Let’s search for her! Poor girl, she might be hiding in a remote corner waiting for help to arrive? ”
” Stop! ”
Mark exclaimed out grabbing her hands tightly, as if it was useless to search inside.
” What are trying to say? I know that the undead are lurking in, but still we’ll save that little innocent girl, who knows she might have closed her doors waiting for us to rescue! ”
” Cela! I don’t find the aura of a living being inside! That Wendy girl you were talking about might be cursed to begin with! ”
Mark let his words depressingly. But cela done a foolish thing which made her get on his nerves.
” You must be… ”
Bang!
Cela broke apart the mansions gate with a large fire ball and made her way in.
” This divine maiden… I asked her out to help me. But look, she’s creating more trouble than I could bear at present! ”
Exclaiming it out angrily, mark followed her in before arriving at the door before which she she remained standing still.
” The doors isn’t locked, do I open it or not? ” Cela muttered in and was a little frightened thinking of finding the innocent girl she know become an undead.
” Cela, are you out of your mind? What did I just said? It’s useless searching for survivors in here! ”
Mark grabbed her wrist before trying to traverse out the mansion.
” Wait! Let me check in… Since we have come this far, it wouldn’t hurt taking a glance inside, since the door is left unlocked.
Wendy… a poor girl, she got pregnant being violated, under the unbearable stress she went to coma for three straight months before comming to find that she became pregnant with a child.
Being aristocratic, her fame and dignity was already turned to dust, she wanted to end her life but still the child growing within her had made her took a tough decision, to let it grow healthy within her.
Such a tragedy took on her, at least let me check in before going out! ”
Cela exclaimed out, forcefully pushing mark, a little away from her while being at it.
” Ding! Suggesting host to not open the door, a variant of undead is present inside which equals a middle order aura king in terms of strength! ”
Creak!
Cela opened the door only to spot that tens of undead which were originally dormant rushed towards her at a high speed.
Each of these types were stronger than before, but still they were not at a stage where they could threaten mark.
Fire Blade!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Four consecutive strikes and mark managed to stay all the incoming undeads without breaking sweat.
” Ding! Host slays an undead of initial order aura lord! ”
” Ding! Host slays an undead of initial order aura lord! ”
…
” Ding! Host earns 10 RP! ”
” Ding! Host earns 10 SP! ”
” Aura lord… Initial order! So they weren’t the ones Aina mentioned earlier! ”
Tremble!
Out of no where, the large mansion started trembling, a small figure of five feet smeared with layers of blood was walking straight towards them.
” Painful… Kill me… ”
A womans voice was heard by mark which startled him.
” A survivor… No! She’s an undead! ”
” So it must be her! Middle order aura king! ”
Mark confirmed the threat inside the room and at the same time he was startled that an undead woman could actually speak.
Till now he hadn’t encountered an undead which could speak. So when this women had spoken those words, he almost had lowered his guard for a second which made the aftermath difficult for him to handle.
” kill me… ”
The undead woman spelled those few words before leaping straight towards them trying to severe the necks of cela and mark with her overgrown pointed nails.
” Wendy! ” Cela recognised Wendy from the sweet alluring voice of her.
But when the bloody figure of her figure came close to them, she was shocked to disbelief..
Wendy was clothless, almost naked with inner wearings that barely got struck on bloody skin by the dried up blood.
The abdomen of her was swollen a little which showed out that it was her first trimester.
Clang!
Mark stepped forward and parried her blows, but cursed wendy springed her legs on the flat vertical walls before leaping straight towards them trying to finish the pair in one single go.
” Ah!~~~~ ”
This time, her stomach was almost wide opened from within, from where two additional pair of bloody hands started reveling out, which were even larger than hers.
Slash!
Using his one arm, Mark grabbed her right hand, before opening three small warps simultaneously from his other han, each of which was launched at the three loose hands of her which wasn’t caught by him yet.
The three hands of her warped in, before popping out from her behind, which pierced through her own body with a bloody spray smeared on Mark’s face.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Not bothering with it, mark swinged his other free hand and teared off her four arms, three of which were still struck on her body, hanging on her unsteady body which was finding difficulty in balancing.
Two at her arms were struck through her stomach, and one at her abdomen.
” My child! Ah!~~~ You killed my child! Curse you! You killed my baby! ”
The undead started crying out tears of blood which made Mark to confuse weather her conscious was still intact or not.
Is she really cursed to undead or it was simply a plain act.
Whoosh!
” Idiot! ”
The undead bellowed out before getting closer to mark, close enough to struck her arms instantly which got regrown in fraction of seconds after her act.
” Shit! I have fallen to her tricks! ”
Mark realized his mistake, but it was already too late to frown about it.
” Seems like the way of strength is the only way around to get out of the predicament! ”
Mark had half way activated his way of strength only to find that the undead which lept towards towards mark had started to burn with fire of white fumes.
” Purify! ”
Cela bellowed out gritting her teeth hard, not willing to make the same mistake she had done before.
” Ah!~~~~ ”
The undead was burning and regenerating fast at the same time.
The scene was too gore for a kid to vision, but in Cela’s eyes mark was not disturbed much by it, as if he had seen things which were much worse than this to compare.
the white fumes disappeared and the naked body of the undead was half revealed outside through the seaming vapours.
for visiting.
” She survived that! ” Mark was startled.
Whoosh!
He lept straight towards her trying to sever Her neck which was the weak point for any known undead in his experience.
” Bastard! What are you trying to do to my innocent body? ”
Crouching her body closely the undead covered her exposed parts before bellowing out as if she was embarrassed at this moment.
” Cut your act will ya? ”
” Purify! ” Cela bellowed out before casting her purify.
The holy aura of white light for released from her again which put the undead again in the same difficult position as before.
Slash!
Mark cut it’s head which rolled out to a side later following it.
” Finally it’s dead! ”
Cela took a breath of relief and fell down in tiredness after performing purify twice simultaneously.
” A tough and cunning undead to begin with! ”
Mark exclaimed before sitting down on the bloody floor in tiredness too.
” An undead! And it was cunning on top of it! ”
” Nothing could be predicted easily! ”
” If not for cela to cast that purify again, I would have fallen for her innocent looking act and who knows that head might have been mine instead of her. ”
Looking at the roof which was made out of crystalline glass, mark exclaimed lightly.
The roof was quite a luxurious one to begin with, which reflected whole of the room as a whole.
” Wait what’s that? ”
Under one corner of the room a small thing was rolling silently without making a sound.
” Wendy’s head! ”
Mark became startled, her head which rolled down to one corner of the room was still rolling around without making a pause, as sneakingly as possible.
” She’s still not dead! ”
Mark jumped up from his back, before getting a grip on the floor.
Whoosh!
Since her disguise was exposed by the large mirror above, she no longer rolled down sneakily instead dashed straight towards cela who was the caster of purify.
Whoosh!
Catch!
Pierce!
Mark had instantly traversed over Cela sitting over her belly, before catching the flying head that dashed straight towards her head.
and without a second delay he pierced his blade into her temples, piercing out that sharp object out its head.
Even after getting pierced out through the blade, the undead wendy was not dead struggling hard to get closer to marks wrist though the blade, to severe off his wrist for good.
” Just… what are you? ”
Mark questioned the head of the undead in confusion, which was closing his arm dragging it’s pierced head into Mark’s blade as if it pained nothing.
” I am Wendy! ” She replied.
