The expression of count Berhan changed a little. He was nervous that his goldfish might turn out to be a waste.
But, the expression of Mark's parents were still full of confidence and pride, that tells us that their son will make it, make awakening of law.
On seeing the expression of the parents pair that were confident, the Count calmed down his anxiety by a little.
" If that little freak mana is too dense, the awaking will arrive late. But if it isn't then he..., he must really be a waste...
Little freak must be of the former category, how could the miraculous child with such brilliance be a waste. "
The count was consoling himself, he did not want his golden goose, who will pave his way for his road to success turning out to be a waste.
" System, let me choose darkness and space law, for the one law that can be masked, I choose the latter one "
" Ding! Host are you sure you are going to choose only two properties of laws. "
" Yes! " He replied confidently.
Mark chooses his options and presented it to system. He wants to mask the law of space as it was the most eye-catching law, that can make any prodigy jealous!
" Simply jealous to death!! "
Shortly, after he had chosen his awakening properties. A massive surge of Mana was resonating with Mark White's Mana core, broke through his restrictions over the mana core.
" Haha! So he's not a waste! " Count jumped up in anxiety.
Right now the parents faces looked more matured, as if they had let their child live a trouble less life for six years, yet a sense of unknown fright was seen particularly over deep into their eyes.
As if mark would fall into trouble, the second he unlocks his core.
The law's of darkness and law's of space were swirling around in him and within his Mana core.
Suddenly the holder which was held by Mark's hand, burst out loud with sending him few tens of feet away from the awakening apparatus.
People who were just badmouthing mark were stupefied on looking at the awakening apparatus that Mark was just used.
The holder had burst out, conducting rods were melted down and what was most disturbing for them to see was the Mana Crystal that had just vaporized up.
There was a large difference between breaking and vaporation of the mana crystals as the former holds true when the process proceeds over a with a person whose mana was dense and Mana crystal could not hold his resonance power, any more mana is imbibed it starts to crack, followed by breaking apart.
But in case of Mark when the mana is not just dense but it is present in a tremendous amount, the crystal starts to break even at the level of minute subatomic level and disintegrated into nothingness like it had been vaporized.
The child that they were discussing and calling him to be a waste turns out to be a freak, not just a freak but he's a super freak.
" System why did it burst out ", Mark White bellowed out angrily, in his heart the system was an mischievous entity so it might have been her doing.
" Ding! Responding to the host! Since host's Mana Core was contained with rich and dense mana, the awakening apparatus was not able to hold up, and as a result... it burst out, simple right! "
System explanation was as it is normal for that crystal to disintegrate. You had a vast amount of mana sealed in your core, but still you blame me for that?
When the mana was released just before awakening, the previous phenomenon of bursting will occur.
" No! What I mean to say was that, if you knew that it was going to burst out, then why did you not warned me about it?
Don't tell me, that was what you were calling masking? "
Then if I had chosen laws of time or laws of destruction wouldn't it that, I may have also masked it perfectly by the explosion.
" Ding! Host had guessed the answer half correct. As to why, because the strongest laws create phenomenons whenever they are awakened in individuals, one may go berserk or storms and tornadoes may desent over the plains.
Since system was host friendly, system had taken the path that host may live long and not die prematurely, but host is bellowing system in anger. "
Mark was angry, as to why, the system cheated him, it just used the word masking for bursting out.
Mark's arms were burnt red and blue views were visible, his skin was peeled off over starting from his fingertips till his wrist and the blood was overflowing violently.
Immediately father Aron Wald of the church, cast a healing spell on Mark's arms. But the bleeding had not yet halted.
Mark was still crying out loud in pain, as his body was still that of a kid, not a trained adult how could he be alright if his hands were to be present such, as it was in the present condition.
Father Aron, he uses all his mana that he can uproot from his core, and with his blessing he had received when he became a father, he once again tries to heal this young boy named Mark White.
Finally, It showed some progress and the bleeding halted. But the pain was still stabbing mark deep to his bone. Immediately system made a prompt.
" Ding! System finds the host to in trouble, does host want system to null the pain ."
System's message had this time raged Mark, was he a Maoist who enjoys pain, "fuck.... trouble, what trouble, heal me faster"
" Ding, language... ".
Mark White was sure that one day he may not die under an enemy, but will be under this....., he wants to but he did not even have the Thought to do so, as this system can even read his damn mind.
He was imagining system to be sneering, laughing or giggling at him at present, from somewhere hidden.
" Mark White! Congratulations for awakening a law! Darkness law!! " Count Berhan was excited, his eyes were glowing bright with excitement and with an accomplished face, he had a sneer at the corner of his lips, looking at his golden goose.
" System, how did he came to know that I awakened a law? " Mark exclaimed to system.
He was confused, because the testing apparatus was totally wreaked by his mana and he resulted in his current sorrow state, his did that dumb man who can't even hide his intentions well, found it out.
"Ding, host when the apparatus was wreaked the first one to vaporate was darkness law, even an idiot can find out if he is in his right mind, so why can't that Count find out ".
" Yes, I can now figure out why ."
Suddenly the system prompted another message.
" Ding! Strong mana has been detected, suggesting host to hide or escape, host current power can't fight against the current threat ".
" A strong mana! Hide or escape! too weak? " Mark was not able to understand this new feature, the interface of the system which usually appears blue changed to a red colour as if indicating danger.
Mark if alone, using his attributes he can make an escape, but his family was here, which was a burden to his present self!
He already lost his family once now, how could he lose his family again.
He was not willing to abandon his family, if he were to die he would die together with them, that's what it is meant to be family.
Suddenly a large flying ship was floating above the Church, it's size was even many times bigger than the Church itself.
" Is this the threat, that the systems new update were warning me about? " Mark was confused as to how will he escape from his present problem.
Author notes :
1. System new update has many features that will be exciting when you will read in the following chapters to come, I don't want to release spoilers to damage your fun.
But the currently released feature is the " Warning channel in the system - prompts message when the system feels host is insecure or ant threats may come to its host. "
2. Those that are confused as to why this space law was not exposed, was because when his first darkness law stone disintegrated that created enough force for burst out of awakening apparatus which later helped in cracking and disintegration of the remaining stones, so his space law was masked.
