Demon Slaying System - Chapter 92
” Seems like, holding these puppets by yourself had been tough on you marky! ” Levi exclaimed out with a little smile over her face, that looked almost mocking to him.
” Not all people are aura kings like you damn it! ” ” And not all had this spatial cover, that could hold these puppets easily! ” Mark cursed internally looking at the mocking face of levi that made the veins on his face bulge a little.
At the same time, he’s also delighted to see her presence which made him escape out the mouths of death by hair breath.
Had she delayed a bit, his body would probably had turned into a piece of corpse to be collected.
But not much time had passed by since she began to recuperate, which made him frown a little.
Sidmon and clain were just aura Lord cultivators, weakest among them to specify, and not really a match to the king class cultivation of hers.
If both belonged to the category of the later, he may not been troubled to begin with, but it wasn’t so.
Doubts started filling marks brain and under curiosity he want to find it out directly from the mouths of levi.
” Miss levi did you recuperated well? ”
Mark questioned levi all of a sudden, he then continued saying ” Don’t forget that your role is of paramount importance to execute this plan, and I wouldn’t like a thing like hidden injuries popping at later times and disturbing our plan as a whole! ”
He was quite serious with his words earlier, and levi was able to look at his face which was worried for her.
At the same time, he picked his blades which was present before the puppet, and sliced off the puppets left arm without a moment delay.
” It’s just that I was caught off guard a bit earlier, and I won’t be falling for that same mistake again.
Rest well before comming back again we can deal with them by dark matter or spatial cover, since you haven’t activated the spatial cover by the way! ”
Catching two insignificant swords didn’t had a need for her to activate the spatial cover to begin with.
She caught them barehanded earlier. Mark could very well see strains of stress in eyes of her which was not a good sign to begin with.
The left arm of the puppet fell down to the floor with a clean cut, along with the broad sword which was held tightly in its grasp.
But the lost structure of arm immediately started condense at a rate visible to the naked eye, and would be reconstructed shortly.
Even if the hand necessarily grown back, the puppet would not be able to regrow it’s lost sword, unless it picks it up from the floor below.
Mark who had already faced against its barrage of blows, knows the significance of this left sword to begin with.
It made him bleed with several shallow cuts, all over his body. Also decreased his visibility, which made him vulnerable for a second before.
Which timely matched the blow he received from the mace that made him crash over the floor earlier, in a utterly defenseless position.
If this left sword was not present at the scenes later, a significant amount of load would be lifted off marks shoulder and he would not be cornered easily as he had been before.
Mark had thrown the heavy sword towards the blue line, aiming for the sword to cross it, entering the second division, where the puppet would never dare crossing it even if it wishes for.
As they were confined by the shackles of third division which made them unable to leave this part of the test track under all circumstances to begin with.
If the left sword was not present in the third division to begin with, the puppet would have to fight with the sword held in its right arm, which was of a shorter length than the one thrown away by him before.
for visiting.
The left sword along with the silver coloured heavy arm had been thrown meters away from his current place which later rolled further few meters away, until it crossed the third division and entered the second division for good.
Since the hindrance of left arm was no more, Mark didn’t necessarily have to be corned by them as before, and fight against them freely.
So if levi rest well before comming back to execute their plan, he could proceed with his plan to deal with the next set of puppets effectively, which were waiting for him to devour without a mishap from occurance.
But unlike his expectations, levi hadn’t left the scene to begin with, she was holding still the sharp part of the right sword, in her slender arm and was not willing to let go of it, despite the struggle made by the puppet to free it.
By this time, the mace in hands of other puppet had targeted mark and was rushing towards him.
But mark had timely managed to get behind levi. Which resulted in levi capturing that mace within her arm, shortly followed by her locking it tightly above her right shoulder.
” Can’t you just quietly go back to recuperate your self well? ” Mark bellowed immediately, while standing back to her.
” Recuperated! It’s nothing, I just need some time, few reserves of mana, before this weakness gets eliminated!
Earlier this Levi had not underwent mana deficit to begin with, but just that my mana path had been blocked temporarily as a side effect from using spatial cover.
You don’t have to worry about this levi, she knows her present condition the best! ”
” So I was just worried for nothing! ” Mark exclaimed internally, while standing behind her looking at the figures of the two who were struggling their hard to get their weapons off levi’s hold.
” Spatial cover! ” Since it was just the sword puppet earlier, she didn’t had a need to use that ability before. So when both the puppets had been caught in her hold, she immediately used her ability without a delay, to prevent complications.
” Miss levi since their movements are automated, do you think that these puppets would also make the same patterns of mistakes automated, when they sense danger? ” Mark exclaimed behind her cute little ears.
Though he didn’t had other intents to begin with when he exclaimed those words earlier. When his breath caught her sensitive ears, she jolted lightly under that sudden event, getting irritated all of a sudden.
” I’ll get you for this, you mischievous kid!? ” Levi bellowed angrily, at a same time replied ” May be! ” outwards, without putting a fuss over it, as it was not the right time to do so.
Following it, mark jumped over her shoulder and dash towards the chest plates, to repeat the exact moves he did before.
Similar to the ones he dealt with before, where the puppets choose to attack mark, abandoning their weapons, they mimicked the same set of events that their fellow mates did earlier. ” So my hypothesis was correct! ” Mark exclaimed internally and his eyes widened with excitement.
Boom! Boom!
” These puppets are sure automated, even their mistakes and weaknesses. Everything is predetermined, as if they are it’s holes to be used against it.
It’s just that it’s inbuilt mechanism is making it capable of doing complex mechanism and coupled with the environment which favor them, they aren’t much special to begin with, as their moves are becoming easy to predict.”
After blocking their attacks and grabbing hold their arms in a locked up tight position, levi exclaimed out, and gave enough time for mark to suck dry the essence within the large cores that fuels the puppets.
” Ah! it’s too… ” Mark paused immediately, and prevented him from getting embarrassed again.
” Once fault could be explained but if repeated they are prone to get misunderstanded. ”
” Haha! ” levi made a silent laugh, looking at his clumsiness, she later lifted the puppet at once, when euphoric smile of mark which he was trying his hard to resist had gone down.
” Ding! Host levels up! ”
Though mark had levelled up quite a bit, he was still troubled as the fact that the experience bar started to fill slowly, like it was a sloth moving across a long tunnel.
Though he levelled immediately while sucking the essence from the core. The experience bar had just made pass 38 percentage before pausing, when all the essence was literally drawn out from the core.
Mark looking at the puppets lifted by levi had slashed out eight flashes of light, which followed the exact course he run his blades in the air earlier, and made the limbs of puppets fall like twigs from the trees on floor.
After absorbing the essences, that were flowing into the large core from the smaller ones, mark raised the experience bar to 49 percentage just a bit away from reaching fifty.
” Would I really be able to break the shackles of this middle order aura lord at this rate? ” mark questioned internally, looking at the puppets which had fallen abruptly over the floor lifeless for them to harvest the cores later.
