Five hours later.
Finally, my foundation is laid, now i should strive to increase my mastery over it, never thought that this supreme technique would be conquered in such a short time, having a system with me, sure had played a great deal.
For about past five hours mark had not moved an inch from his initial position, his goal was to make a stable foundation base for his new technique from his past life. His goal was to enhance his present strength, if not staying at this eleventh floor would ultimately result in his death, which he does not desire.
The foundation base for the Supreme technique involves several steps, making a special interwoven threads of mana ( qi ) that is imbibed with runes over it's course had to condense as specific spots, these threads were of the size of an DNA, which had been later condense into plain sheets of fabrics, that would be further remodify into an hollow tubes or wire like structures having a thick outer shell with a hollow inner space, Mark had to install them as a special mechanism into each cell of his body and arrange them such that they could not be repelled back from them. Finally the process is completed by letting the flow of mana into one end and exit through the other end.
The ends which recieves mana supply had made its connection to the entire body as network of nerves, connecting body to the mana core, that recieves it's other end, where it exits its collected mana.
A single failure in the process, be it production of a single faulty thread or during condensation process of May be at channelling procedure, Mark had to rewrite the entire process from scratch dissolving the failed model. Reason being a faulty one would result in his instant death, mentioned by the techniques creator.
Tough it was a difficult process, Mark had made a detailed study about the process, it and knows it's structure as he was extremely familiar with it. And with the help of system that warns him over his minor mistakes, his foundation was laid earlier than his expectations.
Let's test it, Mark started to gather mana from his skin where the terminal branches of foundation lanes were condensed inside the cells, communicating with external environment directly. Normally a cultivators in both mana accumulation or qi gathering in their life recieves them from the point that is two inches below the navel in a full grown adult and a inch in small build of children. But this new technique is helping him gain hundreds of times of mana with benefits than far outweigh the regular means, right now his whole body has several million pores which directly connected the external environment to core and channeled throughout body, entry of mana can't be forced against his will, even if a strong external influence is trying to force him.
Some may say what's the difference between both, unlike this special means the regular methods fails to channel the entire worth of mana gathered to the core, only the areas near the navel that had highest efficiency of channeling, as excess of it would be wasted on its way to the core during its path if not gathered from regions not close to navel.
Mark was revitalized of his mana in minutes, his entire body had changed its structure, internally. His laws in mana core are pumped up, Mark had exclaimed to himself, " am I dreaming, even levelling up few times had rarely produced this sort of feeling. "
" Bring it on bastards let's see whose the boss now ."
He made his way outside the cave and had spotted few high ogres that were cannibalizing an another ogre, their own kind. Weaker monster were supposed to be born as food to the strong. This was a iron clad rule not just among the monsters but even to human society.
A ogre can trigger a humanoid shape and become demon after it had evolved. only one among thousands of ogre had the right circumstances to trigger that evolutionary course, and remaining were doomed to become less intelligent high ogres that were stronger and their brains are more muddier than a regular ogre, their precursor.
They consume weaker species in dungeon , but when circumstances had turned out such that the food present was far less in comparison to their own populace, cannibalism could be seen, tough mark had only heard them in tales and stories from folks around him, he had never experienced the rare sight, " gross and disgusting " was the terms that can be strike to his brains.
Without delaying much time, he started killing them, they were cannibalising and had let their guard down for that brief moment, Mark had finished them off using his resonance ability after traversing behind them.
From a high elevated area that he had selected a scouting place, he was spectating monster that could take his bait of monsters meat, as they would run to this place, smelling the scent of blood and fresh in the air.
The flesh of monsters would be devoted by the dungeon, yes it would for sure, but takes some time. There two reasons for this phenomenon, one to let the intruder collect the parts of the monster they had slain and second reason being the other scavengers and monsters that would feed on the rest of the flesh left behind.
Using bait to lure monster was much commonly employed by adventurers as not all had enough time to search the monsters that were scattered and also had enough guts to face them head on, dangers of being ambushed was also prominent, so luring misters through bait had reduced the casualties, and higher the meat of the monster, more prominent was the bait laid to monsters, and these level 40+ monsters that were laid were enough to lure monster miles away from him, letting it do all work of gathering them, but no one had ever dared to lay traps such as pit falls asleep as the quality of the goods would be affected, but that's not what mark had aiming from, he only had to kill them to gather experience.
Few minutes later, a group of ogres leaded by few high ogres had been spotted by him rushing to his baited place, they started chewing the body as soon as they had arrived next to his prepared bait, even savages were way better than them, mark had shivered on their barbaric nature, Mark had tried to make his move but halted quickly," no, it's not time yet ", Mark had exclaimed to himself, hiding quickly reaching close to them and killing them when they had not guarded up. He had laid a giant pitfall trap over the place that can be triggered after activating the formation plate below the trap.
He had to kill the monsters manually and increased the mass of bait that can be used to lure the monsters.
After few rounds of baiting and increasing the mass, a huge horde was seen at last, which was no smaller than the ones that had chased Mark.
" Fuck ! the baiting had played it's role, but problem being the horde number, it's really hard to entrap them all at once. "
The trap was not sufficient to entrap every single monster from this current horde, but still mark wants to drag as many as he can to hell along this trap as he had painstakingly laid it.
* Boom *
A loud noise accompanied by the falling monsters in the trap was noticed, the land which was flat before, made several cracks and due to their excess weight the monsters had fallen into the pit which was trapped with sharp pointy Metals had pierced through their bodies, leaving behind a chunk of experience in his levelling process, he was almost at the at the upper limit of the 37 th level few thousands of points away from levelling.
" Most of the horde had fallen to my trap, but still few thousands have still escaped alive, this ain't good they can sense my tracks and launch a next attack on me, need to flee from here as soon as possible ."
Few hours later.
The place where the trap was activated had been crowded with monsters, good thing that Mark had escaped, if not he would had to fight against an army which was well organised and highly armed with armaments, were accompanied by leaders that appears to be demons the ones that had evolved from ogre, which were leading them. The scene was no different from a army that appeared to be preparing for war. Millions of high ogres that were marching with thousands of strong demons and with several demons lords above them as leaders, this was a scene that can pump up the adrenalin of the demon race and can make a enemy spine shiver with fear.
Tough mark was not at that place, as he was busy farming, gathering experience from other places and had levelled to 38 successfully, two more levels and I can use the twin blades, that place had now became a forbidden ground as even a king class would face difficulty escaping from those huge number.
While mark had ascended to higher 12 th floor. The adventures guild at city was in chaos, reason being was that several rank-c adventurer that had went to dungeon had their soul pate destroyed indicating their deaths, their distress call had not been responded by the headquarters which will dispatch several adventures to their branch in cases of abnormality, they were not able to investigate as sending a few high ranked adventurer would be equal to sending them to their deaths, and they were not able to afford further loss, than what had happened already .
