1 hour before explosion.
" Senior Rex, how about starting the array, we have already wasted a day. Unless we start now, it wouldn't be reasonable enough to evaluate him, hidden.
We'll reach dukes mansion in about a couple hours from now. if the old duke gets the wind about the events, we would bring trouble to us. "
A special Knight from dukes mansion, who. had also been in disguise along with Rex Star, in thie escort mission exclaimed out. After getting permission from him, the special Knight had activated the array.
At the same time, on the flying ship, over it's roof.
Few silhouette could be seen on top the flying ship. They had covered their body with black coloured robes, studded by platted armour over there chest and limbs, with a hood extending from the torso, which had covered their heads loosely, Their faces were masked behind some white colored bandages. They looked extremely heretical.
"Commander Viper, target is located at the 5th room, suspected to be laws of space user. It seems that the special Knight from storm household are going to test that child by the 50 layered array."
"Laws of space, good we have finally found an another sacrifice, no wonder that duke had gone to such lengths neglected his pride to rope this child under him, with this child awakening of our religion god is possible. No matter what, secure that child, he can be used as our God's vessel, if you can't, get his mana core over from his dead body, we can create a vessel ourselves, this is an important mission and failure is not allowed, to awaken our eternal God... Norsus".
Immediately few minutes after the array was deployed Rex felt strange fluctuations in mana, as his sense attribute was high enough for him to sense mana fluctuation even miles away from him, so what concept was it when it was comming from his own flying ship.
He takes Nell wing and Drake snow, his trusted companions to check the source for the disturbance.
30 minutes before explosion
Outside Mark's room
Rex Star and his group had arrived, without making any disturbance to check the source of the mana fluctuation, when he saw that it was originated from inside Mark's room , he was confused how could a 6 year old kid produce mana fluctuations surpassing a regular ''Aura Grand Master ".
Upon closer examining he was able to see Mark insta kill a puppet every time a new puppet arrives.
" Space..... law... , wasn't he darkness law user and on top of it he is a juvenile aura Grand Master ".
Nell and Drake also sensed that mark was not using darkness law but Space law which means, he had awakened two laws at once and it belongs to the legendary category of double law user.
" Impossible... , he should be a double law user, is this the reason, duke had payed high interest on marrying him off to our young lady"
"Yes... , he could become out next duke..... , no he can even surpass our present duke. Nell , Drake , he is hope to our storm family to maintain its dominance , after our duke no one is eligible to inherit his position, but we have found one atlast , no mater what, we must protect him, our young lord".
Rex Star and their group was trembling with excitement when they founded out that Mark was not only a darkness law user like themself but also possess space law and with the concept of being a juvenile Aura Grand Master who was just 6 years, his potential and talent are unrivalled and he may one day very well become an unparalleled expert who can rival those of Norsus and Soveraiz during their prime, their anxiety was endless thinking about the possibility of him becoming their master who can decimate anything if given enough time and training he will become the strongest existence.
But their anxiety and excitement was only short lived, suddenly a magic barrier had completely surrounded, the room in which mark was fighting against the puppets.
" Excellent... , brilliant....., we have found a excellent vessel, double law user, Aura Grand master at such age, awakening of our God may not only be a possibility but our God can even can reach great heights to where, even we can't imagine before, alright... kill all witness and let's take this child ".
The religious people were afraid that the special knights may disrupt their plan, so they decided to kill these knights before they can take Mark away .
Rex Star on seeing these people who were entirely covered by black robes with plain white mask, identified that they belong to Norsus religion, a group of religious people stopping at nothing but to resurrect their god. He quickly gives his command to Nell and Drake, to go and protect their young lady and inform other special knights to arrive faster.
Rex Star he alone confronts all his enemies, to prevent them from taking away mark, as he knew their purpose of arrival.
Soon the other Knights knowing the current situation were going arrive, to help their Senior Rex Star and protect their young lord, but before they even come to aid him, a traitor among these special knights Alex whitecrow starts to attack them, Drake noticed his unusual movements, he immediately takes action and confront him and telling other knights to aid Rex faster, and he can take control over here, Nell was present next to the Lara Storm, taking her in a special pod, to leave quickly on orders of Rex, which can take them hundreds of miles from there, which was enough for him to get away from this crises, as his current mission was to protect his young lady.
15 minutes before explosion
Rex Star successfully kills half of the Norsus religious people before the other special knights arrives. he suddenly felt a strange aura, which was arising from inside the room.
He was frightened upon seeing that puppet who seems to be consumed by evil , extreme evil, even the religious people were startled by this sudden emergence of hideous aura which started to create extreme tremors, the whole flying ship was shaking it was sending devastating waves of rays which had nearly killed any religious people or special knights in their path, by this time both Nell and Lara had escaped from the ship they reached a nearby city through the flying pods, and started their journey to dukes mansion to get reinforcement for them.
Both the groups were terrified by this new abnormal that had been able to cleave the barrier and instakill them. they were worried about Mark White, this abnormal can even kill them instantly, Mark White who was just an aura master was he also killed instantly, but they were startled by seeing him use laws of space to avoid those blows as using law taxes too much mana, how much does he had to use it continously. But they have to kill the other party, if they wish to monopolize this child.
Viper and Rex were fighting an intense battle, the half wreaked ship was already at its limit, their battle was even pushing it to it's limit .
3 minutes before the explosion.
By this time almost both the parties lost their men to near anhilation, three special knights and six religious people were only left alive .
The hideous aura released from the puppet was intensified, they were startled to see that it was also capable enough to use space law. It was now able to catch upto Mark , preventing his advantage over traversing skill. Viper felt his blood turn cold when he saw that the golden child they found was going to die so he orders to remove the barrier to jump into and save his precious vessel that he was going to use for his God's resurrection .
1 minutes before the explosion
When the barrier was down both the parties were about to rush but it was the exact time when both Mark and puppet clashed, Mark finally breaks the core of the puppet, he senses dangerous vibes from him and starts to move away but was unfortunately caught in the self destruction of the puppet.
Mark was about to die but suddenly a silhouette runs towards him and grabs him and prepares to leave the ship, special knights made their moves to stop religious people, if Mark were to be left, in the hands of these religious people, he would surely have his soul perished and be used as a vessel which was more frightening than even killing him as he would have to live as a vessel without soul and become a mindless slave for religion or a vessel for some important personnel belonging to their religion. So some mysterious person who takes him away was way better than these religious bastards..... taking mark away for their so called God.
During this one hour many events were occurring but as to how the mysterious person was able to find him and how the religious person's were able to trace out that, Mark was having laws of space still remained a mystery.
At the time of explosion
That mysterious person took away Mark and had also sustained grave injuries for him by protection him from explosion, he by pouring his mana around him created a force field surrounding him entirely and thereby protected him. Rex and other two special Knight, tough were caught in the explosion but were not sustained to such heavy injuries as they were not protecting some one like that mysterious person who was taking in damage order for Mark to live.
2 hours after the explosion
Mark and the mysterious person who had carried Mark had reached a village in which they were treated.
