Two hours before, in control room.
" Che! Lucky brat, escaped by hair breath! let's see how long he'll be able to stay at that resting spot? " Gilldart bellowed out, smashing the desk under his hands in anger.
The faculty around him had their hearts lept in fright, looking at the table which was shattered to pieces, merely by the brute power of this gilldart.
A strong magical wood, refined by a master carpenter, which could even withstand a blows from higher order emperors was shattered to pieces by a mere impulse of his.
Had it been their heads instead, would there even be a notable piece, which would remain back to recognize them?
They all had mixed feelings at that instant. One such was fright, they were truly frightened by the pressure from upper management, which wanted to let them forgo their moral code and to break the rules of their ancestors.
They naturally cherished their lives and the task issued by Darius, handled by gilldart depends their lives on it, so they couldn't play smart at this place.
The other such feeling was happyness, sure they were happy inwardly, looking at mark who barely managed to retain his life from devious changes set in track by gilldart.
Had this poor soul lost his life in Darius's plan, they would feel guilty their whole lives. But looking at the small figure of mark which managed to escape into resting point, had made them feel better.
Though they were happy they wouldn't dare reveling it out, in fear of gilldart, a junior who had miraculously gained strength, strong enough to throw aside his old man's seat and claim it under his name.
But their happiness was short lived, looking at the blue canopy, the resting point shining out all of a sudden.
Naturally when a tester decides to step out, the canopy brighten out in response, letting the tester a way out it.
So mark was willing to challenge his way out these traps, again. But was he healed thoroughly to do so? A question popped up in the brains of these faculties.
" Interesting! Had you waited patiently in the resting point, this gilldart would had been powerless to harm you. But... but.. since you wish to gamble your life, don't expect this gilldart to be merciful! "
" Deploy formation C-42, B-65, A-80..... " Gilldart bellows out a bunch of orders, telling the faculties to deploy out those traps, the second mark exited out the resting point.
But his expression took a drastic change when he saw mark exit out the other side, and entered the second division, from the blue canopy.
" What exactly he's planning to do? " Gilldart felt surprised looking at mark who was running in the wrong direction to begin with.
Not only would mark loose his hard earned points through luck, he would also be loosing his life if he met with the traps he unable to handle.
" What ever may be your plans let this gilldart end your game this instant. " Gilldart exclaimed out, but at the next second he bellowed out alerting the faculty around him to not slack off, stating " Fast! You lazy geezers, Deploy formation R-15, F-21, I-39,..... "
He didn't know what exactly was mark planning on. But one thing was for sure, he didn't want to see mark succeeding in it.
Surprisingly, mark seen through the traps and cracked them through the holes easily, despite it was setted by the formations gilldart commanded it to do.
" Some ability, he may be hiding it earlier. " Gilldart consoled him inside, but at the same time he didn't lag at ordering his subordinates to set the next formation before mark steps on top the tiles, they are about to be imprinted.
But what made him get on nerves was the sight, where he saw his master killing puppets get munched under marks blows, at the same time mark nurtured himself, making him more better than ever.
" So he decided to exit out for their sake! "
" Hey kosher, what's about this? Did the von hall family decided to go on odds against sir Darius. Just with the support from some measly first rate families? " Gilldart asked out in surprise, looking at Kosher von hall, an old generation expert from Von hall family, who had some blood ties with Haylin.
Since the members from Dell Mount were not there around him. Gilldart could only question out to this old faculty. Who may have some information about this.
Kosher, who was an faculty of this platform number seven, seated few seats away from him gilldart was startled by this sudden question.
Though von hall was a major force, that was also an overlord of the 21st floor. They wouldn't mind the loss of a single old generation member, if he had offended a figure of the caliber he shouldn't.
" This... this... this... kosher is also in blind, he didn't know that Haylin had some relations to mark, after this test is over I'll drag him to family law hall to be punished! " Kosher staggered out in fright.
Gilldart was able to see that this old timer was not hiding a thing from him, as it would do more harm than good, but still he didn't exactly believed the words exclaimed out by him.
The possibility of Von hall going against Darius was not non existent, along with Dell Mount, if they received help from flame glory, they would barely pass enough to stand against Darius, who had a power house that ruled as the supreme overlord if the floor, the strongest existence and first among the other six overlords in the floor as his back!
Few minutes later
Mark had finished wreaking four of these six division masters in the third division, thoroughly dumbfounding the faculty present around gilldart.
" The hell! isn't that kid a bit too overpowered? " Glaring at the eyes of a senior faculty Gilldart exclaimed with a vile smile over his face.
" This stage hadn't been set to a level, where his maximum potential could be drawn out. so how about we increase the difficulty to see his limits? " Gilldart chuckled a bit looking at the terrified expression of that senior faculty, but his expression took a sudden change, when his senses detected a powerhouse who was rushing towards his place, disabling all his arranged guards who gilldart boss over, and some unfortunate ones had been killed in that powerhouse might.
" You! Go and see who is that daring soul that dares to mess at my place? " Pointing at a guard who was a peak aura emperor, gilldart bellowed out.
Now that he was about to raise the difficulty, increasing the chances to kill mark, a daring person wishes to spoil his plans.
He had literally sentenced that intruder to death, when he asked out a peak emperor to go out to fend him.
Nodding to gilldart, that Golden robed guard with heavy armor, standing besides the metal door stepped out, holding his shiny silver spear, while luster was making one to never let it out ones hold.
With heavy strides, that guard rushed out to deal with the arrogant one, that came to mess at the control center, but was smashed out by the intruder, before he could even have a chance to do!
Boom!
Along with the heavy reinforced metal door, the half dead body of the guard was thrown out into the control room.
The guard struggled for a bit, before giving out a painful sound and becoming a corpse with a palm print on top it's chest before gilldart, the one who ordered him before to set out and deal with the intruder.
" Gill! Dart! West! Field! So it was you ungrateful swine, turned out to be a traitor! Tell me what did you done to your old man? " With a fumes of white flames, emitted from his body, which appeared quite mystic with the overbearing presence of his, the intruder bellowed out.
" Hahaha... old thing, so it's you, never though that you'd reach this realm in lifetime, you were sure hiding much from the eyes of others.
Had Sir Darius known your cultivation realm, he would had surely modified his plans in killing mark flame glory, nevertheless you'd still be imprisoned by me any way! " Gilldart exclaimed out, with a vile smile over his face, looking at the one before him as if his destiny was predetermined by him.
" Go capture that one! " Gilldart bellowed out telling his subordinates to crush the intruder.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several silhouettes appeared out of no where, but all jumped simultaneously at the intruder from the orders of gilldart.
Boom!
But the intruder had merely let out his presence bouncing out the assassins that left the dark to attack him.
" I'll ask you again where is your old man? " The intruder had let out his tremendous presence, before stating his question again. It seems as if the life of the gilldart old man comes first before spoiling the plans of Darius, but his temper exploded when he heard his answer from gilldart.
" Oh! My old man... he was sentenced to... death, few minutes earlier.
Old thing had you came few minutes earlier, you could at least seen him a last time.
Watching the scene where he begged mercy from me to kill him immediately, and set free his soul from this mundane world. Where several of those man eating insects were devouring his internals slowly, showing him the tortures of hell, being alive, you know I was savoring a cup full of delicious wine by then! Hahaha...
But what a pity, not a speck had been left now for you to see, why don't you silently let me capture you without a fight.
I'll let you undergo through the very same death he had experienced, may be you'll both meet each other in the afterlife at the same spot and say hello to him from my side! Say that he could rest easy as his genius son would be overtaking the fate of his family in his hands since today! " Gilldart bellowed loudly, chuckling, with a sadistic expression over his face.
" West... field... he died! I don't buy it! " Stating these few words, releasing tremendous amount of his force outwards, that intruder kept towards gilldart at high speed.
