Heat!
Immediately after mark agreed to the system, his surface temperature started to raise, his skin was gradually changing its color till his smooth skin turn boiling red.
Beads of sweat started to form over his head, while his body was drenching the clothes on him wet followed by vapours which were comming out the cloths on his body.
Though from an external point of view mark appears to be suffering, but the expression over his face reveals a different concept from it, rather it was more of being euphoric with his eyes closed.
Chill!
The process was immediately overtaken by sudden chillness, which made his skin turn freezing white like a piece of ice.
The beads of sweat which formed initially from his heat had hardened to white crystals of ice.
Cold smokes were comming out the gaps on his robes, with his body which appears to be frozen in the night by the northern winds.
Drip!
Mark abruptly opened his eyes, all of a sudden the solid ice which had been formed over his body had turned to water.
As if mark had taken a shower with his clothes on, the resulted water had thoroughly drenched his robes and made him look soked wet before levi.
" Wh... " Levi wanted to question him about this change, but had controlled her breath before she involuntarily sliped out the words out her mouth, as each person had their very own secrets to begin with.
" So that's the way to deal with that lump of metal, sigh, seems like there's no other way to deal with this puppet properly! "
System had earlierly imparted him with a sudden flow of information. The changes produced over his body before were the side effects from her knowledge impartation.
Unlike any other impartation known to mark, system had thoroughly imprinted the design of the puppet before his brain, filled with the content about it's functions, its pattern of movements and on top it the way to decipher it's mystery I.e, the way to finish it off for good.
" So these puppet had six cores hidden within its body and it seems to be the source of trouble behind Levi's unexpected retreat! "
Recalling what he had been imparted earlier, mark was able to clearly imagine a humanoid shape puppet. There were six golden coloured cores hidden with in its body, one stationery and large while the other five smaller ones seems to be moving at random within its hollow metal body, at a high velocity with respect to others.
Whenever a limb had been severed out its main body, a small core disintegrates at random and provides sufficient energy to bring back that lost piece of metal to its old position and thoroughly bind with it.
The core which had been destroyed earlier would be reformed shortly by the larger stationary one at a fast rate, compensating the count which had been lost earlier to repair that severed piece of limb from its main body.
If the heart of the puppet where the large stationary core was present has been penetrated, the core would be destroyed. But at the same time the crippled cores mana would be leaked out simultaneously enhancing the basic powers of the puppet to a larger margin, increasing the difficulty facing it for a short while before that crippled core would be healed back by the six others, that had been swirling around in the body.
Though exhausting it's mana seems to be an optimal choice, the environment where it had been present, the test tract, would not let the tester accomplish to defeat the division master through this means as the tract would continuously supply the puppet with mana making this assumption fail before its practical try could be made available.
The solution presented by the system though appears to be at fault if reasoned with the above cause, as it had encouraged mark to deal with the puppet by the case earlier I.e, by making it exhaust it's own mana, but in a different way to handle the procedures.
The boundless impetus body, the supreme technique he learnt from the knowledge he acquired through his past life's experience plays a role with in the strategy.
Destroy the core, absorb its energy and prevent the puppet from gaining the strength it should. Let the six surrounding cores exhaust their mana in repairing the crippled core, but shortly at the crucial stage cut off the puppets link from the test tract, destroy the half formed core within and severe it's limbs off it's body.
Though its limbs may be healed shortly, there wouldn't be a core left within its body to gather mana any more, and the puppet would turn ordinary out of the tough nut earlier and the puppet would be weakened easily, making it prone to be destroyed with the small amount of residual mana contained within its main structure, provided that sufficient amount of force capable enough to slice off it's hard body be present to begin with.
Though a question may arise about how to make the puppet stationary, while destroying it's half formed core earlier? or about how to break it's link with the floor below, to accomplish the feat above? Levi comes into the scenes.
With her spatial cover she could tightly hold the puppet in the stationary place for a while, letting mark destroy the cores at will, while using her strength of a king class cultivator, lifting this piece of metal would turn easy, cutting off it's link with the floor below.
But the problem of mana being drained off the tester still remained prevalent, making levi prone to undergo mana deficit if things hadn't gone the way it should be.
Mark though was unwilling by a little, he had to make the other four testers, which were still fighting with the division master of the second part in the test tract cooperate with them.
Though these four could be considered a baggage if compared to levi, they could still help them at stabilizing Levi's mana when her remained amount reduces below the normal, becoming a moving mana reserves that may help them at crucial time.
Though mark may even abandon them after their use, he couldn't. Not just because of his so called righteousness, but the benefits he could gain after absorbing the essence of mana out the cores of these puppets.
The essence of that mana may help him at raising his own levels nearing to fifty, and if it turns fortunate he could very well upgrade his own realm and become a powerhouse of high class grand master after it.
Comming back to present, since levi had not questioned him about the phenomenon he gone through before. He moves near her, and discusses about the plan they are about to execute.
Help the four baggages behind, that were having trouble facing off the division master of the second part. Let Levi immobilize the sivler puppets and mark deal with the puppet as of later, a simple and easy plan to begin with.
" No wonder the system had agreed to provide me with a detailed plan! If the properties of the puppet were known before hand, a strategy such as the one before could be formulated easily, on whim to begin with! " Exclaiming internally mark turned back stepping out the resting point, exiting it and entering into the second part of the track, where the other four testers were having a hard time facing off the division masters in it.
" Four baggage! You people are gonna owe this mark a large time to begin with, an initial investment that will help me in the plans later to deal with later. " Mark made a chuckle, exclaiming internally, before heading towards the place where these four were fighting the metal puppets on the track.
