" System! Is there a way to escape out this predicament, alive! "
Mark bellowed internally, at the same time he prayed subconsciously " Please don't say no to begin with! My life's depends on it! "
Unlike before, system had given out a suggestion, which had made him formulate a plan instantly.
" Ding! Responding to host, the chains are made up of Deligrenium ore!
The ore which resembles quite similar to an ordinary metals, in its outer texture. People usually mistook them for a metal and had to pay heavily after touching it!
There are different classes of them, high, middle and low grades, and each had a terrific hunger for the mana and are usually found in the mines along with mana stones.
Thankfully host had been binded with a low grade one. If it was for a high grade one to attach, and if it were struck to ones skin, it would suck dry the large mana reserves of an aura emperor itself, nevertheless the existence of host who had not even transcended to lord rank in cultivation.
Now comming to the point about how to deal with these trouble some things? It's simple, release all your pent up mana reserves! let it absorb as much as possible.
The speciality of this ore is not in it's sucking capacity, but in its durability. Which makes it equivalently sturdier than some high grade artifacts itself.
But when it comes in contact with the mana it softens gradually to remold itself to viscous state, after attaining certain threshold with its stored mana.
Injecting large reserves of host's mana would be sufficient for this low grade one to soften, and easier to escape out their grasp.
Had host listened to my suggestion and decided to not take part in this measly test of talent, host wouldn't have to suffer this predicament to begin with!
An important note to the host! Hurry up before these daggers be unleash to land on your body!
Don't come crying to me for suggestions, if they pierced through your body and males you half dead after it!?
" This system! " Mark had to swallow his frustration, as it was not the time for him to argue with her.
Though he was troubled, he found his requited answer quickly. He sighed thinking " Do i need unleash my hidden cards this early! Since the present situation had left me with no other choice, let's do it quickly! "
Mark started to circulate his mana and started practicing the supreme technique, boundless impetus body, to gather the mana around him.
Though most of it was in one way or the other absorbed by the deligrenium chains. The actual purpose of feeding these chains with mana would be accomplished by him, until it becomes full with mana to soften.
Whoosh!
The pitch black mana from the marks body was pouring into the chains from all directions, like a visible magnetic field that appeared quite an eye catching event to one, form a distance.
Though the released mana was naturally attracted to the floor, present below, which was literally a mana scavenger.
The chains were more of a hungry beast that tried to steal this radiated mana out the mouth of this scavenging array itself, and thus a eye catching phenomenon was made around mark's body.
This phenomenon had captured the attention of every spectators in the platform, who were watching the fight of levi with the third division master earlier.
Few seconds from then, mark had continuously supplied the deligrenium chains with his mana to soften, and make it easy for him to escape out its hold.
The mana, which he supplied had amounted to many times his own limit, contributed to boundless impetus body he has mastered beforehand, that played a key role to achieve his purpose.
It was the same technique which made him recover mana many times faster than what he could probably do by ordinary means.
Few of the spectators had figured out what mark was trying to do. They had exclaimed internally " What a clever brat indeed!
No wonder, farthur is so overprotective of him. Despite his wondrous talent, he's also capable of dealing with situations as this.
At such a small amount of time not only he figured out the kind of trap he'd been trapped with, but also the way to get out of it's hold! "
Though the time mark discusses with the system was that of a few brief seconds to begin with, and the others didn't know the existence of a thing called system.
All they could do was to blindly take up the actions of mark to be his own wit, and him being a monstrous genius, that had repeatedly escaped out the terrifying traps of the test of talent itself.
By this time, the daggers had been manifested and were released at a tremendous speed over his direction.
Break!
Mark had gathered all the strength to his limbs, and made a whirl around him, jumping abrubly, breaking the softened chains simultaneously
The scene was similar to uprooting a tree, where mark was at the centre and the chains being akin to the tree's roots.
Since the array below were capable enough to suck dry his mana, not as fast as what the deligrenium ore could do, mark decided to bid this gamble and use his mana to block this incoming daggers.
Clang! Clang!
Pierce!
Mark had unleashed his Deadman blades and had successfully parried against two of the incoming daggers, but had timely not being capable to block the third one, which pierced into his thigh.
The blood was spilling continuously like a leaked pipe from his thigh.
Though the body of him could be healed instantly, providing that place with sufficient amount of mana.
But mark was not able to do as so. The dagger was made with a certain composition that prevented the body repair from occurance.
" Ah~~~ ! " Mark had groaned a little while removing this strange dagger out his thigh.
Just as it had formed miraculously of thin air, it disappeared the instant it lost contact with his injured thigh.
Though mark's head was filled by thoughts, about these sensations of pain, while this open wound was healing about. Some corners of his brain was subconsciously hinting him that some thing major is about to happen, and it's better to get the hell out of this place.
When mark gazed around his surroundings, he came to knew the reason as to why?
Earlier, when his thigh was pierced out by the dagger, blood had spilled abruptly to his surroundings. Hundreds tiles around him had been smeared with his blood, contributed to his ariel whirl he made previously.
" Shit! what would happen to me if all those tiles were to be activated simultaneously? " Mark had cold chills run deep his spine, which shuddered his body with fear, about the thought of being trapped within these numerous devastating traps, the caliber of which he had dealt earlier.
" Ding! Suggesting host to use the green coloured core, to escape out this place immediately! "
Just as the voice of the system had entered his ears, mark's face had brimmed with the sense of anxiety. " How could I forget about that resting point thing. "
Earlier old Arlong had exclaimed that a person could use a resting point temporarily, to tend his injuries before challenging other mechanisms, or stay behind at that place until the time for the test of talent got over to preserve one's body for ongoing tests following this test to talents.
Crack! Break!
The sturdy green coloured core started producing cracks, which then broke into several pieces engulfing mark in the green colour mist produced after breaking it.
Whoosh!
Mark had disappeared from that place and teleported abrubly into a green zone, that seems the new extension of the green coloured line he crossed earlier.
The green line that separated the division three from the division two had became the resting point for the third division.
Whoosh!
Levi who was fighting against the silver coloured puppet earlier had broke apart her green coloured core, teleporting back to the resting point in the extended green line. Popping up abruptly on top the mark's position.
" Just what is it that I'm missing about? " Levi was questioning to herself, when she had just returned back to the green line.
The place had became a resting point, after mark had activated it by breaking the green coloured core, obtained from killing the second division boss.
So when levi broke her green core, unable to follow up with the puppet before her, she broke her earned core and had popped at the place where mark had teleported earlier, falling straight on top of him.
" Miss Levi, is that silver coloured puppet strong! Strong enough to fight against a king class cultivator like you? " mark questioned after her arrival, who was sitting on top his body.
" Seen through my stats right? " Levi pondered in for a second, before stepping down his body, exclaiming " It's not that this levi is weak against that puppet, but I'm not able to figure out the way to finish it off for good! " Her words were a bit childish, like a kid who brags about his superior strength.
" I should had paid my attention on studies for a while, gosh! Elder brother would start mocking me, if I were to fail at defeating this third division master! " Levi was pondering internally, she had failed to mask her troubled face to mark who had been standing aside her, after getting up from his original place below.
" Well... we have to figure out a way for ourselves, to defeat those things. " Mark exclaimed after looking at her troubled face.
" We! " The part of we had made her ponder weather mark wants to make a team with her.
" Miss levi! Since we both are of succubus's race to begin with, how about we form a team for ourselves? " Mark replied, expecting out a positive reply, from the one besides him.
Levi had almost lost her facial composure. " Just how much of the information did he memorized in that short interval of time! "
Author's notes:
Resting point : A non fight zone, also a place void of the traps in the test track.
Each division had their own resting point, excluding the first division that's just the place where the testers are entering the test track.
Formed when a tester breaks the colored stone to activate it. An important thing to be noted, there's no penalty to the tester after using it.
