Mark went near levi, giving out a slap right onto her face and bellowed, " Get a hold of yourself, will ya? "
Levi who was lost in daze had woken up all of a sudden. She founded herself to be present on knees, as if she was tossed aside by a massive force.
A strong burning sensation was clearly felt over her left cheek.
With a puzzled up face, she brought her hands over to face involuntary, rubbing over that place with her fingers only to be felt painful at last.
" Ah!~~~ You slapped me? " She just realized the thing mark had done to her.
Right now, at this moment, she forgot that she was in test track to begin with and she needed to cooperate with others to clear it off.
" How dare... " Levi bellowed out with murderous eyes. " Even lord father had not slapped me till today, and you... how dare... You deserve death! " She lept towards him with a killing intent, clawing her fingers in, aiming towards his neck.
If it was before, levi attacked him under pure embarrassment, later felt disgust thinking about him.
But now she started releasing killing intent, and would for sure kill him if caught under her incoming attack.
Whoosh!
Within a fraction of second, her beautiful and slender arms reached towards his neck, few inches away from contact.
A large amount of mana was invested into her nails, which turned red corresponds to the aura she releases normally.
Slap!
Just when she was about to touch his skin, a hot burning slap, made by mark was printed over her other cheek.
Bam!
She fell down to a side, with her head hit hard against the solid reinforced floor, which cracked into bits during the impact.
" Your courting death? " She lept towards him in a flash, for the second time, but this time the hatred in her eyes were doubled.
She jumping into the air, swinging her arm in an wide arc with clawed up nails. Directing it straight towards his head as if it could uprooting his head entirely just by the graze of these sharp claw like nails from her fingers.
The air surrounding her arm started boiling, releasing a dense clouds of vapour when reached next to his head.
Slap!
Like earlier, she once again had been slapped tight into the floor, with traces of blood that ran out through her nose lightly.
Looking at her own blood which came out her nose as a result of his slapping. Levi's hatred towards him had reached to a peak, directly activating her bronze saber powers, with the technique she inherited earlier!
Like a peak saber expert, that releases a faint air of superiority around them. Levi started appearing terrifying with a mystic metallic aura released from her saber's body, that made one difficult to discern it's exact shape and boundaries and might.
Whoosh!
Catching the saber by both her arms tightly levi lept towards him with a deep red aura emitted from her body, and with red glowing eyes she looked extremely terrifying to face off, like some ancient beast.
Despite the terrifying might she showed off, Mark finished off the climax by a clean strike to her cheek, slapping her down to the floor as before.
She was still clueless how mark managed to muster this strength all of a sudden.
If she were to use her hidden cards, Mark would also use his cards too.
If she uses her mana to empower herself, mark would use his mana to empower himself so.
If she uses her imparted technique to fight him, he would for sure use his imparted technique to defend her.
So whatever she was trying to achieve, Mark torn it down by bits, and wanted Levi to face that humiliation he wanted to give her.
On the outside.
" Why aren't we getting a command from our boss? " Haylin asked gregor with a puzzled face.
" Why are we hearing these strange noises from the above? Like some one is crying out with pain, Is miss levi venting her anger on boss! "
Sidmon with a sharp ears had exclaimed out, traces of pity was present on his face thinking the state his little boss might be.
" Let's go to save him now, he's the only one we could depend! " Gregor bellowed out before entering the stairs which leaded to the top.
Whoosh!
While others were ignorant of mark being a array master gregor wasn't.
He knows that a peak grade one array master was far better than an initial stage practitioner and could turn the tides of the battle if wished for.
Haylin and others who saw the figure of Gregor rushing towards the tower had followed him shortly, and didn't want to fall behind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
" Boss please be safe! " Gregor muttered in. He was worried that levi with her impulse might kill mark this time.
So he will use all power he could muster to stop her, before it happens so.
On black tower's top.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Several slapping sounds were reverberating around, and a small figure of a young kid seating on top the figure of an young lady could be seen, who was pretty much harsh on her.
Naturally this kid was our little mark, while the young lady was Levi.
" I'll kill you " levi bellowed loudly.
Slap!
" Stop! I orde... " Before she could finish her sentence, mark presented her with an another slap to her cheek, as if he was telling her to shut her little mouth for a second when he was venting his anger.
Slap!
" Stop! It's painf... " Mark was not going easy on Levi, It was as if all frustration he build over time, was being vented right now, at this moment.
Slap!
" Stop! Just stop, I could no long... " After spilling those few words, levi started crying out loud.
" Woo... Woo... bastard get off me, I admit it, I was harsh earlier, so sto... "
Slap!
" Woo... Woo... "
" Just what had I seen... are my eyes playing on me? " Gregor who just reached the top had slipped down to floor in shock.
Earlier he had predicted that it was his turn to step before and save his boss a**.
But right now it doesn't seems to be the case, and it was his turn to stop his boss from overkilling levi.
" Boss! Boss! Boss! " Few faint noises are heard from below, comming straight from the stairs gregor climbed earlier.
Others who were falling behind had almost reached the top, and were few seconds short from spotting mark pummelling levi.
" No! I should stop them before this is known to all! " Bellowing internally Gregor rushed down, to stop them from seeing the unbeautiful state of levi.
Seeing that others had almost reached the top, by the noises they made.
Mark stopped slapping levi and started pouring in his mana to treat the beet red cheeks, which were swollen twice the normal from receiving his slaps.
Within a second, her cheeks turned back to normal as if the ugly state of her wasn't present to begin with.
Right now she seems more charming than ever, and was a bit attractive to mark with the euphoric expression she made.
" Che! Consider yourself lucky. Don't ever humiliate me again, not today and not even in future.
If not you know what this mark could do right? " With a threatening face, mark stood of her and went towards the monument, to activate it again, this time with his powers.
The plain looking monument vibrated violently, before cracking open, to release a dense red essence from inside.
" Bastard! Just what have you done this time? You... you broke the monument.
Ah!~~~ now even the cavalry could not be used!
Trouble! You truly are trouble to begin with! " levi cursed internally, not darling to let her thoughts slip out her mouth.
Not sure weather it was some rare coincidence or not, mark managed to sense her intent and turned abruptly with his threatening glare, which caused her to freeze, all of a sudden.
" Could he could read my mind? I don't buy it... it definitely had to be a coincidence... Bastard! Dirty leacher wait till i get out.
My big brother will avenge me... let's see how you would beg on my feet that time, he he he... it's quite imaginable! " levi laughed in sinisterly, to console her pitiful self, which was bullied by mark earlier.
But all of a sudden, her eyes widened in surprise. " The monument... it's cracks are healing! And why is there a dense golden aura released from it's inside?
It's extremely pure, like streams of gold is liberated out from its metallic body! " Levi found the moment to be extremely beautiful.
She wished for this moment to last forever, as the golden rays felt healing to her tear filled eyes.
But shortly following it, the whole of the black tower started vibrating violently, releasing faint traces of golden aura, which started becoming intense as time goes by.
The flags which were originally on levi's hands dissipated in thin air, before recondensing on mark's grasp.
" You... you... you are an array master too! " Levi was dumbfounded, looking at the small figure of mark who had forcefully activated the monument and stole the array out her very own control.
" Middle stage... no that's not strong enough, high... stage... though the will of practitioner at that state is many times higher than me.
Still they could not forcefully steal the array control from my hands, when it acknowledged me its master.
Don't say that this little lecher is a peak stage of grade one array mastery?
No! it's not possible! How could he a random prodigy from 21st floor be such talented. I don't buy it... He definitely is concealing his actual age! "
The aura released from the tower had directly poured into the former troops of levi, to acknowledge marks command.
Currently they became the very own army of mark, that'll listen to his every single command of his.
After giving them a set of instructions, Mark jumped straight out the black tower, from the very top, and descended down at a high speed.
Before the dust could settle down, a small silhouette moving at an extremely high speed was spotted.
It took two whole seconds for the spectators to discern that the fast moving tiny silhouettes was actually Mark
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Mark started killing his way into the army of red king, towards the place where the army of his was trapped.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
As if the the black army of his with blue elites went on steroids, they were vigorously trying to barge their way out the encompassment.
At the same time the blue cavalry of his, which was originally pushed back by the enemy, had started killing the white troops of red king indiscriminately at a terrifying speed, to intercept with the trapped army to free them.
Mark had given a large set of instructions to his troops, before leaving the black tower. So as long as he strictly followed the set instructions himself, he did not had a need to worry about his black troops from not escaping out.
If condition were favorable to mark, he may even eliminate a large numbers of the red Kings army and gain some valuable experience the same time.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Tons of experience started to fill in his experience bar, and mark was sure that he wasn't far from leveling.
Though the targets he killed were way weaker than him, their actual cultivation was much higher than his own.
So the experience mark gained would be astronomical. He just need to kill twenty of white soldiers to reach 51.
Fifty more to 52, Two hundred to 53, and a thousand to 54. If he could devastate the entire Red Kings army, the possibility for him to reach the peak of 55 was clearly visible.
Now that the black troops and blue elites became his property. They necessarily represent him, and the ones they kill would absolutely turn into an existence points for him to level up.
One minute later.
Tons of white troops started pouring in, and increased the gap between mark and his trapped army.
As if the red king had seen through mark's intent, he ordered his own cavalry to intercept the cavalry of mark to stop their advance.
" Fuck! There's not enough time! " Mark bellowed in, had he failed to make a proper way for his army, his plans to clear this division goes to gutters that moment.
Thing that his way of strength was gonna last for two more minutes, and the time he formulated for his plan to meet his army was less than a minute, and he need to cross a distance of hundred meters by then.
So, If mark failed to cross these rows of white soldiers within a minute, he was doomed to fail this test, and will fall under the old timers trap for real.
" Fuck out of my way! " Despite venting all his frustration over levi, mark was yet to cool down.
Doesn't know the reason why, but mark had never been seen this pissed before. But levi might have been the main cause behind.
Tens of puppets were shattered around like toys by mark's might, but the gap which mark wants to decrease was not reducing by a bit.
" Fuck! off! " Like a wild stallion, Mark extruded a threatening aura before dashing through their number, without a care for his body.
Even before he can't to know, mark levelled up thrice simultaneously, directly reaching level 53, yet he was a way distant from this army, which needs to be rescued.
" Faster! I need to move more faster! If not I mark would be grinded to smithers by the pincer attack of my own troops.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
By this time the enemy cavalry had been half destroyed by the blue cavalry of mark.
But sigh, if the black cavalry were to meet them before, the losers wold had been the blue cavalry for sure.
But right now the blue cavalry was ferocious, as if the whole of their body was pumping hard with adrenalin, the blue cavalry pushed the royal guards and black cavalry all by themselves, even killed quite a few of their numbers with passing seconds which may thoroughly exterminate them in a matter of minute.
In about ten seconds from now, the main plan set by mark would take shape, and mark needs to directly go at the center of his trapped army to be safe, if not all his accumulating experiences would had been for naught, as he would be killed shortly.
Ten seconds was left and the distance he needs to clear was more than twenty meters to begin with.
Though looked simple, Mark still needs to clear rows of white troops and few elites from the enemy side before he could naturally step inside his army center.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Though mark could use traversing ability to reach the center he would use it as his last resort, as he would like to keep it a secret from the eyes of Red king and use it when the condition were suitable for him to exploit.
" Haha... should I be happy for reaching level 54 or be sad as time is enough to reach my army? "
