One day later
Inside Mark's room
Mark was experimenting his "laws of space" so that he could find a new tricks that he can make use of from his law's , he suddenly heard the systems warning ringing in his head.
"Ding , a strong array is going to be casted over host's room , suggesting host to leave this room immediately to avoid being caught by this array."
" So my intuition was right , so they have finally stared to act , made me wait a long day, let's see what preparation have they made to entertain me ". Mark knew that they were up to something and we're going to play some tricks on him , he was not sure what they were going to do and had him waited a whole day before they have decided to act, and this array that they were going to cast on him had proved his instincts to be true .
The array was casted, a huge figure who was holding a large sledge hammer standing in front of Mark was seen , blood was dripping from the sledge hammer and it looked fresh as if he had just killed someone before arriving at his place, his face was totally burnt and his hands looked robotic, he suddenly made an roar trying to intimidate Mark.
–ROAR–
If it was made over an ordinary kid, he would sure had his pants peed, suddenly system popped up a message in his mind
"Ding, host has been trapped in an array, kill all the the targets if host wants to escape from this array ".
Target 1:
Name : Iron puppet 01

" System, what type of array is this, an weak and ugly puppet has popped up." mark had expected something great, didn't expect a weak puppet to pop up.
"Ding, host this array is used to measure of one's strength it's used for training, after a puppet dies a new puppet with much strength and more stronger than the one's before will arrive and array will be broken when all puppets are dead ".
"So, I have to kill them then and it'll be over ,right ". Mark had not paid attention to systems warning and was ready to make a move, Suddenly when Mark was ready to kill the first puppet a message from system popped up again in his head .
"Ding, host a random quest has been made , does host accept the quest, quest details have been provided in the inbox."
Random quest
(( Difficulty – E class 10 star ))
Location : Flying ship
Time alloted : 1 hour
Type. : slaughter
Target : puppets
Number : 50
Reward : Random box .
"System, what is random quest ", since it was Mark's first time, the system started giving him missions again after his reincarnation, and even in trails he was always profited in one way or in an other from system's tasks , his strength increased till now in short amount of time from scratch was also contributed to her tasks.
" Ding, host the random quests are generated atleast once a week randomly, host can choose to avoid these quest, but successive attempts to avoid the quests , will result in punishment, so suggesting host to accept the quest when host is capable of finishing the quest ".
" Then why are random quests generated " , Mark was not sure, the exact reason for this system to give him a random quest all of a sudden.
" Ding, random quest are generated to prevent host from slacking off, successive attempts to discard these quest will lead to punishment from system including permanent reduction in 10% of the host's attributes and temporary weakness of 50% reduction in attributes for a period of one year will be generated , so suggesting the host to complete the random mission when host can finish it."
" It means that, I have to kill all targets that pops up before me right". Mark White gathers his mana into his arms from his Mana core and without a moment delay started to kill these puppets as he only had the time limit of 1 hour to complete this quest.
Mark has been killing these puppets instantly as and when they arrive, he had not even recieved a bit of resistance from these puppets as they popped up arriving before him , his stats were way higher for any ordinary person of his level and these puppets that arrived before him, their levels were many times lower than him and also with lower sense attribute , they was not able to respond to his fast attacks and died immediately as they appear before to challenge him .
If he were to use his laws of space, then these puppets were just chickens that were waiting to be butchered by Mark.
By the time he finished killing his 40th target few puppets earlier were able to receive few blows from Mark but still were not escaped from reality, as they died quickly .
Finally when the 41 target that had arrived mark was able to see significant increase in difficulty as the level that these puppets started to have were beyond his level and were a way more tougher to kill , compared to his previous opponent that were not able to resist against him, the difficulty was raising sharply after the 40th target, now he started to use his "laws of space" more and more to use these targets to sharpen his law's and skills .
Mark was exited as he was able to test his laws of space on these targets, since some puppets that had arrived earlier and those that were able to give some resistance to him were weak and still not worth enough for him to waste his laws of space over them as using laws taxes more mana than normally when he use normal skills to kill them .
He started with his traversing trick just when his opponent reached next to him to deal some damage to mark , Mark activates his trick making a clean strike on his opponent by traversing behind them, he sends them flying away and finishes them before they even starts to gets up to defend against his blows, Mark finishes the opponent by breaking their cores which used to supply them mana and which helps them make their moves more complex , after their cores were destroyed they were vulnerable to marks attacks and died quickly .
Even tough the puppets were still becoming stronger and stronger than the previous ones , as the newer ones that arrives after the death of the older ones , they still were not able to force mark use all his strength and his trump cards, Mark only was able to utilize his entire strength on his last opponent who was completely different from any of his previous encounters, it was as if a real person who had studied all his attack patterns was standing right before him, his moves were swift he was able to perform skills , he even had advantage over body build as Mark was only with a body size of an six year old kid.
Target 50:
Name : Iron dummy 50
class : puppet
level : 40
Attributes
Attack : 360
Agility : 250
Health : 1000
Defense : 240
lntelligence : 600
Sense : 1000
Mana /Qi : 6000
Skills : sword force lv 4 ( 800% more damage to the target ) , Sword ray ( 1600% damage hit on the target).
Armaments : long sword ( atrack = + 400 ).
Mark had been fighting against him for more than 15 minutes yet the fight was not able to reach towards an end , more than three-fourth of the time was over and he was only left with fifteen minutes and he was still not able to finish his target, the iron puppet dodged many of his blows swiftly and countered back some attack on him, it was as if the puppet was able to predicted his exact movements clearly and makes a counter when Mark has reached next to him for attacking .
Mark now starts to spends his large amount of mana from his mana core which he had saved before to use in cases he finds difficulty to deal against his targets, he started to increase his speed by pouring his mana into his limbs, faint golden aura was emmiting from his legs when he had infused his mana to his extremities to finish this fight quickly , his speed was now many times faster than it used to be, floor started to crack in the areas where Mark passed by, tiles were evaporated by his pressure that was emmiting from him as a result of his reinforcement of mana to his limbs , Mark can only be able to keep his present state for few minutes, so he had to finish off this puppet before his time was over, or else his chance of winning this fight will be difficult as he can only depend on his brute strength if his mana was exhausted .
Even tough the puppets level was high, when Mark was at this present state of being it was barely able to keep up with his movements , it suffered many blows from Mark, even tough it blocked his few hits, many cuts were made continuously by Mark over it's body and it's HP was falling down at an tremendous rate , when its HP was reduced to less than 10% of it's maximun amount.
The puppet which was going to die suddenly had an change , as if he had been reborn, like an awakening of his hidden power, his strength raised rapidly, his pattern of attack and countering has changed, strange thick blood colour aura was swirling on top of it's body violently, the entire room was trembling with tremors by its pressure, it had an strange unusual smile over his face, which was giving chills to Mark deep till his soul, it was as if a different soul had penetrated the puppet and was controlling him.
The puppets body bursted out with power and it had instantly disappeared from his line of sight, Mark suddenly had an chill behind the spine as the puppet had appeared right behind him, it swinger his giant long sword attempting to kill him rater than that of an regular puppet which does not had any killing intent, this puppet was having an unusually thick killing intent which was freezing to one's soul , Mark had to traverse to his Max distance to dodge from this sudden attack, made by the puppet to escape with his life .
He was bellowing out to system deep in his mind "Wasn't this supposed to be training array, when had it turned to became an kill array, if that blow was able to hit against me then wouldn't It had been an instant death for me".
Even though he had bellowed out angrily on system, which had said that this was a normal training array which used to measure ones strength, how was this supposed too be a training array it was an perfect example for killing array.
Author Notes:
Array used here : 50 layered array, 50 puppets with increasing strength as each one dies out and a new ones emerges with much stronger than the previous ones.
