Demon Slaying System - Chapter 88

After discussing his plans with them, mark followed by the four were standing before the blue line where they will be intercepted by levi shortly to make few final preparations before engaging in a battle against the division masters.

Mark raised his hands, signalling levi to step out of the safe zone who was still hidden within the resting point waiting for marks signal.

Had they crossed the blue line to meet up with levi, after entering the third division. Series of traps though may not be launched on mark, or her, but it wasn’t the case for the four who may fall any second under their might. Mark had different set of plan for them to deal with it.

The resting point which was initially present had disappeared into thin air, the second levi stepped out of that place.

Though by external appearance, levi looked ordinary nothing more than that of a commoner, but in reality she isn’t, which was known to them.

The four besides mark gulped down in fright by her current disguise, which appears to be absolutely harmless.

They were already informed about her true powers by mark beforehand, to make sure that they never underestimate her by plain clothing on outside, and most importantly to not dare at offending levi and bringing out her wrath over them.

” An aura king cultivation! Truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing! ” Gregor exclaimed internally with a troubled face and so were the others, whose curses were of no lesser intensity that that of gregor.

For them a king class cultivation at such a tender age of ten was just a dream to begin with.

Only the prodigies of golden era could rival that of her current potential, which was quite rare to see even in the individuals of chosen twenty.

Such an existences did not even have a need for her to attend these measly tests, as she could directly enter the ranks of those chosen twenty if needed.

Though they were curious about her reason to enter this damn test, they did not had the courage to do so.

Earlier when mark exclaimed about her cultivation realm, they doubted the credibility of his statement before.

But when they tried seeing through her current powers, they failed at judging her realm to begin with which made them startle as a result.

Only the cases where the observed target had a much higher cultivation than the cultivator, or the target was present with the presence of a top tier artifact on their bodies, which may mask their powers from being detected. These targets may necessarily escape out from being seen through by them.

Either way in their eyes, levi may have a high talent in cultivation which made her reach aura king realm or may have a strong background which was supporting her since birth.

Thus they four came to a conclusion independently that it was better to stay away from her if possible, much less offending her to bring trouble on them.

The thing that she was an ally to begin with had calmed down their senses, but still the traces of lingering fear could be spotted in their eyes, when they met with her’s.

In their eyes levi was more of a monster than mark, but still mark was also a terrifying existence who had managed to make such a monster ally with him as an equal.

Comming back to present, these four testers needs to break through the traps set ahead them, before the said plan could be well executed.

Mark had exclaimed few secrets to their ears, containing the core aspects about deciphering the traps, which may pop any moment stepping over it.

Though system had imparted him with information which could help at defeating the division masters. It had also taken note of the hidden traps, which may pop abruptly to disturb his flow.

So it could be said that mark had all insights necessary to clear the test set, which could help him at deciphering traps immediately, before the next set of incoming traps may be launched over him to damage his body.

Though our mark had taken few steps in third division, before escaping out to the resting point. The spit blood of his had triggered much of the traps than the ones actually stepped by him directly.

As a result a majority of traps near the initial parts had been triggered at once, reducing the burden which he was to undertake later.

As for levi she didn’t had a need to go through these hassles again. As she had directly engaged in a duel against the division master before, after waking through the weaker traps, before the sudden change took place by pulling the lever down in the control center with a raise in overall difficulty.

The group of four who were just about to enter the third division were gambling their lives over mark’s tactics earlier.

After voluntarily sacrificing his points mark had stepped back into second division to save their lives.

He had even went far as discussing his plan about dealing with strong division masters earlier. So what could he probably gain from deceiving them by telling them the way to break through the traps of present.

So after a full deep breath, gregor entered in first followed by sidmon, clain and haylin at the last.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ….

Smash! Smash! Smash! ….

Clang! Clang! Clang! …

All of a sudden, several noises could be heard simultaneously which echoed through out the platform.

Surprisingly the spectators were observing the scenes without making a noise as they did earlier, since they do not want to miss a moment looking at the performance of these four, which startled them leaving a huge impression on them which they didn’t shown earlier.

The expression of the elders that accompanied their token holders to the platform had turned ugly.

Earlier when mark helped them, they cursed at their back for escaping out the death by hair breath. But after a few rounds of suggestions exclaimed by mark, the over all performance of these four increased dramatically.
for visiting.

One after the other the traps were deciphered by them continuously as a constant rate.

Though the speed wasn’t that great, it was still faster than what these elders had seen before. But it was under the case when the difficulty was set at normal.

It took roughly six minutes before mark reached half way to the green line, when the floor below him trembled a little, before calming down to normal.

” Damn… this doesn’t seems to be a trap! What could it probably be? ” Mark curses internally, as this disturbance had slightly deviated his jump trajectory and a deadly trap made up of strange thread had just passed by his body at hair width distance, which could easily cleave his body into half if intercepted.

The four who were earlierly half confident of marks tactics had stopped doubting him shortly after their entry into third division and started to follow the exact method needed to decipher the traps without holding back, which increases their speed of deciphering, that turned the faces of spectators pale in surprise.

As the bodies of the four along with mark appears to be dancing with the deadly traps around beautifully as of this test tract was their back ground garden ti begin with.

Even levi was astonished quite a bit looking at the four who improved rapidly after marks suggestion.

Few minutes from then mark reached the place on the test tract which was a dozen meters away from the green line, and was also the place where the probability of the division master to pop out was quite large.

” Get ready into formation! ” Mark bellowed immediately, informing others to get ready into the discussed position before, as they were going to meet up with the division masters shortly and a decisive battle against these puppets was about to take place any moment from now.

Author’s notes:

The four I used normally refers to the group of Gregor, Haylin, Clain and Sidmon.

Mark had given them the insights which needed then time break though the tracks which enabled them to crack through these deadly traps as if they were taking a stroll in their own garden ti begin with.

The battle against the division masters will take place in the next chapter to come.
