Demon Slaying System - Chapter 85

Test track, second division.

Mark stepped out the resting point, standing on the test tract’s second division, where his four baggage were still left behind. He was clearly able to spot four figures that were struggling hard against the division masters on the test tract.

” Just what in the world are these monstrous puppets? ” Gregor dell mount the green haired youth, also the strongest of the four testers around them, bellowed out loudly.

A large rectangular hammer, which was carried around by the division master had just collided against the buckler guard on his left arm earlier.

The bone on his left arm was almost fractured by the impact earlier, he was able to feel the bones over his forearm turn weak and would break for sure if an another attack of same magnitude launched again on his arm while defending.

Just like his potential which was a par above the testers around him, he was the only one among them who was able to make multiple damages over his target simultaneously, just with the thin long rapier in his right hand that was dancing beautifully under his control.

But nevertheless, all his tries had been for naught, as the puppet before him was constantly supplied with mana by the test tract below and was healing continuously as a result. His landed attacks were disappearing without a trace left behind, as if all his efforts had turn into waste.

Earlier, when mark had discovered a sudden change in the air around him, with a abrupt raise in tension. He was sure that some thing’s wrong with the test track, as if the original intended purpose of it had been changed to begin with.

When he looked at the metal coloured puppet before him he came to knew the reason as to why it was so?

The puppet which was earlierly devastated by a single blow of his was giving hard time to the testers who almost possess similar powers to him, and with their lord class cultivation they wouldn’t necessarily have to drag the fight this long and still be at a disadvantageous position before it.

When mark examined the puppets at a distance, trying to find what made them empowered all of a sudden. He was startled by the result, with his eyes which widened around a little before it came back to normal.

Mark couldn’t help but laugh internally, he sighed thinking ” These puppets seems to have improved dramatically and generated some cores similar to the silver puppet I was planning to deal with. Nevertheless they wouldn’t pose much of a challenge to me, as I know what’s their weaknesses are to begin with.

Though these puppets may have cores like the silvered ones before, but their wavelengths seems to be small and their internal structure appears more of an inferior version of the ones I’ve seen before.

Nevertheless these puppets may still serve as a practice target, before going around to deal with the main one’s with levi. ”

Whoosh!

Mark powers up his legs and dashes towards a metal puppet, which was closer to him.

He appears in a flash, right over the top of the metal puppet which seems to have discovered him, but it’s reaction was a bit late to begin with, as mark had already smashed it’s large body against the hard floor with a ” boom! ” which could be resounded within the ears of the others.

The shell at its back was wreaked beyond normal, cracks were formed on the hard plate revealing out an imprint of an palm at its center, which was around a size of a kid made by mark earlier, they were naturally started to repair, but mark didn’t have it much time to recuperate.

Dash!

Mark dashed over it’s back from the mid air at a high speed, which was partly contributed to the high gravity, which made him land over it’s metal body with a high impact.

Throw!

The shell, it’s outer covering was damaged to a extreme. Mark pierced his fingers into the plate and thrown it aside with his brute strength.

The centre core was almost exposed to outside, which was shielded by a thin sheet of black metal that looks quite fragile.

Pierce!

Mark pierced his left arm with his palm wide open, touching the central core following it.

Absorb!

He circulated his boundless impetus technique and started absorbing the essence of the core rapidly.

” Ah!~~~ ” Mark had voiced lightly, it was more of a pleasure, the essence when it overflowed his body made him relax to extreme.

But it was short lived to begin with, the original energetic puppet became dull all of a sudden followed by a sudden struggle.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Mark cut off it’s four limbs and lifted the body abruptly over the air. By this time the puppet which had four smaller cores within had initiated it’s self mechanism and started healing it’s central core.

Right at the juncture where the core was about to be reformed, mark circulated his technique again to suck out the mana that the four crystals were supposed to provide it.

With the body which lost its contact with the floor, the puppet lost its source of external mana, but still has to repair it’s mana core as it’s functions suggest.

Dissipate!

The four small cores had finally dissipated trying to heal the central core in the process, but mark was constantly sucking out the reserves of mana which he could gain from them simultaneously, so the core thus formed had been imperfect to begin with, which was destroyed shortly by mark before throwing it on the floor aside Gregor who had a puzzled face from the start.

” Kill this puppet to reap the reward! ” Mark exclaimed intimidatingly, who was standing before Gregor.

Though the metal puppet had given gregor a hard time to begin with it hadn’t influenced him by much, much less intimidated his brave self.
for visiting.

When he looked at mark who had devastated the puppet, leaving it in a devastated state, which was reduced to a small piece of metal, he was startled.

But when Mark exclaimed before him to destroy the puppet and kill it to reap it’s rewards, he doubted his ears.

” Am I hallucinating to begin with? ” Gregor muttered within, looking at the small stature of mark helplessly in a confused eyes.

Before he even came back to his sense he found himself to be fallen over his knees before mark. ” No this can’t be a dream! But, what could he probably get out of helping me? Aren’t both our families at war to begin with? Helping an enemy… don’t say that he wanted to place me a spy within his arsenal! ”

” If I kill this defenseless division master, wouldn’t I be at his mercy and of later later? Whatever it may be, it’s not like I have a choice in here! ” Gregor exclaimed internally.

But a poisonous thought had immediately over run his mind ” Let’s kill this metal puppet and cross the blue line immediately, if i break the core and escape into the resting point, mark wouldn’t be able to catch me by then! ”

But he had to abandon this thought immediately, when his eyes glanced over his side where the terrible scene of mark single handedly devastating three other puppets in a row was presented to his eyes.

He gulped in fright, and muttered ” Good thing that I didn’t acted on my own accord, this little monster… just how could he beat those division masters as easy as butchering chickens! ”

Mark had trashed three remaining puppets by now, and was waiting for the four to kill the puppets presented defenseless before them.

” Sigh! If I were to absorb one more besides these four, I may had levelled in the proces!Nevertheless I was able to reach the peak of level 47 shortly, few more points to reach level 48. ” Mark sighed internally, with a happy looking over the four testers that were frightened by the scene earlier.

They were able to tell that mark was hinting to kill the puppets before them and enter the third division of the test tract along his side, but they all has frowned their brows pondering ” Should I consider his deal or not? But it’s not like I’m left with a choice to begin with! ”

Grabbing their weapons within their arms they all has simultaneously landed the blows over the puppets and killing the defenseless division masters at once, to collect the blue coloured core for enter the third division.
