Two large metal pieces of the door were closed against each other, when Mark had exited the room.
He was immediately greeted by azel along with two unknown other beauties, that just paled sightly in appearance compared to azel.
One was silver haired beauty that looked quite disciplined while the other was brown haired seductress, that looked quite dandy.
They were both present on either sides of azel, kowtowing on the ground after they set their eyes on mark.
" They may be the maids assigned by farthur, he actually send some king class experts to my service, if this was main land even the dragon heart kingdoms sovereign wouldn't have this privilege. " Mark chuckled a bit before waving his hands and exclaimed " Rise! Introduce yourself to this young master. " Though he could see through them in one glance, still he could tell their purpose nor their intentions behind their actions.
They all got up simultaneously, yet the gracefulness in their style had given out that they were well bred.
The silvered hair beauty who had worn sky blue robes came forth first, exclaiming in a courteous manner, " Young master, this humble one is named Alenta grasil, assigned as a personal slave by the family to safe guard the young master before her. "
Making a short introduction about herself, with an appealing voice that was quite pleasant to hear, she backed out, returning back to her original position behind azel, over to her left.
The brown haired beauty, who was more of a seductress with her partially loose and revealing sleeves, coloured in red with golden encrypted design came forth.
" Young master, my humble self is Raylin grasil, along side alenta this humble one is also assigned to be a personal slave to guard the young master ahead me. "
She paused for a second lowering her head, blushing red from her peary cheeks, she exclaimed " When young master becomes big enough, this humble one can also fulfill other desires, if young master needed them. "
Exclaiming few lines about herself and throwing few seductive gazes over him at the last, she also returned back to her original place behind azel towards her right.
Azel seems to have a displeased face with the last words exclaimed by raylin. Her young master was just a six years old kid, was it necessary to exclaim those words earlier before mark.
The new slaves assigned for him were about middle order king class experts and both belongs to the race of succubus, but their bloodline is not strong enough grow even a single horn over their heads.
" Their age is already past 40 and seems like king class is the end to their potential. At best they could enter high class king realm expert in their life through their own efforts.
But since they had bounded to this mark, as a slave. There would be no end to their potential, as long as i upgrade my realm they could also necessarily upgrade theirs.
System! If I enter lord class, could my new slaves enter the realm of emperor class themselves. Having a protection of two emperor class by my side, who would dare provoking my existence by then! " Mark had exclaimed internally within his brains.
" Ding! Systems blessing is not applicable to loose slaves. Only the one's that were bound to the family could receive that advantage.
A family could at best sustain ten members including host. The maximum number of families the system could allow are limited to three, suggesting host to choose wisely.
The difference between the host and a target from the family should not exceed more than thirty, if found the blessing would be temporarily halted for that member.
Even if the new slaves alenta and reylin are necessarily king realm experts they could not step into the realms of emperor unless host reaches level 70, I.e. Being a expert of higher order aura lords realm. "
The dream of ordering two emperor class experts were short lived, completely shattered by system.
" The hell! Level 70! By then, I would just be slightly inferior to an emperor, and wouldn't my overall strength be unrivalled within the realms of king class expert. "
At present mark is near the upper margin of middle class aura grand master, and his strength could easily rival an middle order lord realm expert himself. If he reached the higher order of lord class in terms of cultivation, wouldn't he be capable to content against weaker initial stage emperor himself, much less a king class that would be vulnerable under his powers. Could his new slaves really provide him much of an advantage by then.
" Since they are my slaves to begin with, this mark needs to hold responsible for them, I should tell this farthur to stop assigning more slaves than already. System bound them to the family of white. I will have some use with them in future. "
Turning his head towards azel mark made a small cough to bring down the tense in the air " Cough " He paused for a second got near to azel and exclaimed. " Azel this young master is going to the arena, want to tag along with me. "
listening to his exclamations, his new slaves were startled. The way mark approached her seemed as if he had treated azel to be his equal.
For a slave the best treatment they could desire would be to get three meals a day and get a day off in a month at best. Being treated as equals was a thing uncalled for.
Even if he knew her true identity, Mark had never treated her as a slave to begin with. This was a thing that even azel knew of.
But mark was able to see traces of fear which started to linger their eyes. He was not sure what made them to turn that, but it had to be a thing related to his approach of going to the arena.
" Young master... it's not the right time to go over there, the arena is not safe anymore! "
Azel had a troubled expression over her face, so we're the other. Their eyes gave out the sense of uneasiness.
He got his answer for their worried face, but felt confused, what else could possibly harm him there anymore.
" Didn't the masses knew that this mark had an existence of supreme elder backing him, and after the display of supreme elders from cole family who failed at killing me, who else can threaten me in that place anymore. "
" Azel could this young master know why is it so? " Mark exclaimed in a rather questioning tone.
Azel had gained back her composure of a charming lady she used to be and exclaimed, without holding a thing back. Since the thing she knew was not some secret, rather a thing known to general populace. sooner or later it was going to be known to him by some random person, why don't it be her who exclaim it out through her mouth.
" Young master, While you were asleep, Cole family had placed a bounty on young master's head. Large amount of treasures and artifacts were kept as a collateral, even the experts from supreme forces were tempted by his offer to begin with.
To make things hard for young master, and pressure the family to forsake their hopes, they had even started targeting our family younger generation and disciples.
Lastly, few other powerhouses including two major forces had joined hands with cole family, targeting your treasure. "
Mark has been asleep for a short period of three days, many eye catching events took place within the floor when he was at his short slumber.
Cole family's supreme elder had started attacking weaker forces and absorbed them into his power. Turning those experts into his slaves, he had instigated them to fight reluctantly under his command and started to expand his influence.
Second rate and third rate families were left with no other choice, rather to choose other major forces for shelter. They would rather become a branched powers of those major forces, than becoming a restless slave under the command of wilhelm's grandfather.
The other major forces that weren't involved in the mess between the cole and the flame glory family got dragged into the affairs.
Wilhelm! Despite the attempts made by physicians, to wake him up from slumber by his grandfather. To uphold his masters command, he had still been playing unconscious as a dead tree.
The cause for major forces to play their hands were mark itself. When mark had been exposed of having a relic, which had accepted him as her master, the traces of fear along with greed flowed their eyes.
Fear, because of the potential exhibited by him, his strength almost equalled an lord class beside being a six years old kid. With his relic around, had the other failed to eliminate him quickly, he could one day become a person that could very well overpower the entirety of the floor.
Greed, because the possession of a relic was no small matter. Rivers of blood could be shed by hegemons to obtain the treasure for themselves. Mark who had just been a kid would be an easier target for them to get hold of that weapon.
Three out of six major forces, including the cole family had unified their strength, to pressure the flame glory family to give up mark.
Had it not been the case where a strong character such as farthur, being the overseer of the flame glory family and the kain family which had decided to provide it's support, to flame glory to defend against others, the opposing powers would had already reduced the flame glory to a level where the Cole family used to be few decades earlier.
Kain family, which were made up of dark chaos race was a major force ranks second in the floor slightly behind the first by a small margin. With their strong characteristic thin exoskeleton, whose defensive property could rival the lamia race and their mysterious hands that could suck dry a person's mana within minutes were not easier to deal with.
The strongest force decided to stay neutral, watching the other forces reducing their strength, and also consolidate their powers in the mean while, to wait for a moment to get the perfect chance to overpower others as a whole.
The power balance which had been stable for hundreds and thousands of years was about to be shaken. The situation had turned chaotic, the core cause of it would be mark who became the catalyst to trigger the effect that may be expected to see at later generations, where the position for hegemony to become the ruler would be played.
Comming back to the present, mark had got a general glimpse of the situation he had created, since the major forces were restricted to fight openly excluding the younger generations, the only place where they could freely fight to their fullest without any restrictions would be arena.
Though the strength displayed by mark may rival a initial order lord rank, there are many such experts in the masters zone at block 1, whose strengths have reached that point, some have even entered the realms of middle order or even higher order itself. Could mark still guarantee his safety if an expert of that caliber decides to make his move. This was what made azel and grasil sisters to worry.
If supreme elder could not avenge his grandson directly, he could find a substitute that could finish off his work without any restrictions.
