" Slice! "
" Again that same sound, with similar death. Nothing changed except for the fact that I died for the second time, and there are eight more times to go! "
Third time, fourth time... seventh time, eight time. Mark had steeled his heart and endured the pain of his death for eight consecutive times.
Time's for his Ninth time had came this time.
" Haha! What are you glaring there for? no matter how hard you glare at me, the fact that I'll be sucked up by the gold vortex remained prevalent! "
Mark had now died for nine time to total. But still, he couldn't help but be amazed at the powers of Max state.
"Could I really reach that state even without entering aura lord stage?"
Recollecting the fact that the Doppelganger of his was a strong entity, that could rival initial order aura emperor, Mark was amazed!
Had he reached that state, he could effortlessly defeat Hidan, a peak expert of adult generation.
And what if he reached lv68, would he still have a need to fear the cole familys retaliation. But that's a thing in the future to worry about.
As of now, the thing concerning him was his doppelganger.
Even Blank, a slayer from the past decade was challenging his doppelganger for a long time, hopping to defeat it for good.
But still he wasn't able to taste a thing called victory. Though it wasn't a refinement category to begin with!
But recollecting the fact that mark's doppelganger was a 3rd refinement category, it definitely had to be lot tougher than the Blank's case!
And who knows what unforeseen changes in dungeon might be brought in his absence.
Leaving aside the trivial stuffs, mark didn't had the luxury to wait that long.
The dead line to the main line quest was set to the max limit of 4 years.
So he naturally need to use every possible tricks up his sleeves to clear this damn test before that actually happens. If not the consequences were not a thing he could bear, as his life hangs on that line to begin with.
Zoop!
" One more time to go! " Mark bellowed out, before resummoning the black vortex to enter in.
" This kid he's really getting on my nerves! " Clenching his fists hard, Blank exclaimed angrily.
" Nine times in ten minutes! "
" Even getting to that flying stage takes a little more than a minute! Doesn't that means, he's giving off his neck to be readily sliced clean by his doppelganger? "
" Che! If not for you to recommended him, do you think I would like to carry such a weak newbie? " Blank was quite pissed off by now, and was bellowing on the silver mask youth harshly.
Right now his expression wasn't so friendly as before. If mark had been able to see this side of blank, it could be called detestable, as it was extremely ugly to begin with.
Had he known the truth that mark couldn't last a second against his doppelganger, much less his expectations! Could he still have the luxury of taking him into his team?
" He's far stronger than you! " The silver masked youth exclaiming those words confidently, as if what he said was not a thing to refute.
He then went a side, summoning his black vortex, to challenge his doppelganger.
" Fuck! What's wrong with him? Even a middle order aura king would had to bend his knees before me, can that newbie do the same? " Blank bellowed out loud before summoning his back vortex to challenge his doppelganger.
Had blank known the true strength of mark, could he still have the face to shout those words for a second time?
For reference, mark had once killed a half step aura emperor, though it was through sheer amount of his luck, that moment.
But even if he couldn't repeat the same feat, he was quite strong in his own way.
If all his cards were to be unveiled at once, Mark would be able to kill tens of these Blanks in second, much less time only defeat him.
#######
After they left the room, a pair of long women standing behind a black dressed shorty appeared on the stage.
They appeared more of militants, and were exiting the circle platform in exhausted state.
The women had worn black coloured dress, that perfectly defined their curvatures.
A deep cleavage was seen, which was half covered by their robes, connected through some thread like laces, intersmeshed orderly.
Though the women looked more of a seductress, with a strong mature charm of their own.
Their actual age hadn't exceeded the limit of ten, before entering the lords test.
Their bodies appear to have matured prematurely, which made them look extremely seductive in their revealing cloths.
They were toxic to man's eyes, as men would not able to resist them, if being seduced their charm.
The kid who was acting their leader doesn't seems to be affected much by their charms.
He was looking extremely indifferently towards their bodies, as if he was born an eunuch to begin with.
" Rin! Laura! I am thoroughly disappointed with your performance! Couldn't you even kill that initial order aura king?
What's the use of keeping you people around? Just f*ck out my sight, before you become sore to my eyes?" The shorty bellowed loudly, looking indifferently at his subordinates, as if they weren't even worth his presence.
" Boss Nebula! Please don't abandon us! Without your support... how are we going to survive in this harsh competitive world? "
" Perfect timing my sister! " Rin exclaimed in.
Though the woman called laura had fallen down in pitiful state, thanks to her exhausted and weakened body. It timely matched the scene where they could play pitiful before their boss.
Making a pitiful sight, weeping off her fake tears from the corner of her eyes, Rin fell down to floor following Laura, as if she need some attention this moment!
" Finally we got some thick leg to hop on. And this kid orders us to stop following him?
What's wrong with his brain, aren't we sisters good enough? Don't say that... he's a born hermaphro.. or was castrated before becoming a slayer!
Gosh! I don't want our gold fish to abandon us this early. Hey, shorty wait until we get some others legs to coax on, until then don't stop us from sulking you! " Rin exclaimed in schemingly, without muttering a word like a dumb mute.
The red haired Rin had tightly attested her melons over shorty's legs, to let him reconsider his words.
If it was for a normal person, he would had long since fallen prey to her charms, unable to resist it further. But nebula had trained in some "Buddhist doctrines" which made him immune to her seductions, precisely.
" Cut your drama! " This single sentence had made her lost confidence, she was starting at him in disbelief.
" It's just a silly initial order aura king, and a plant species that remains stationary in one place!
If you can't even kill that thing, what's the use of keeping you around account for?
Other than your bodies that had developed perfectly, why hadn't your brains developed yet?
After today's performance do you still that you could use me as your sugar daddy! Dream on!! " The black haired shorty bellowed loudly, he was particularly harsh towards her.
He kicked the gluesome rin in her chest, before sending her flying meters away, not falling under her cheep act in the least. And decided to act like abandon them for now.
Though this nebula was quite displeased with Rin's seductions, he was not willing at abandoning them thoroughly.
As he was a bit interested in Laura, her innocent and cute looking younger sister, so abandoning them was not a thing he would do in the least.
Just when he was about to summon his black vortex to test his improvement against the doppelganger.
A black vortex which was smaller than his had popped to his side, right above these ladies.
A small figure had crashed down on Laura, whose legs had almost given up in tiredness.
" Oh my!~~ " The black haired Laura, who was a bit behind Rin moaned out in surprise.
" Hah! Soft pillows! Had Blank arranged these for me? " Mark muttered these words indifferently.
" What a mischievous fellow? I have never see him before, is he new to our fourth floor? " Laura exclaimed out internally.
Mark who had popped out from the black vortex got strucked In the big soft melons of her.
" This pillow reeks some scent! It's sweet and... it's feminish! I don't know that he had such weird hobbies to begin with? " Mark exclaimed internally, and his vapours were getting exhaled out his mouth, which almost made Laura to blush in embarrassment!
His one meter body got half burrowed into the melons of her, and had almost reached the other side, towards the bottom.
Mark tried grabbing some hold, before he could find his way out the tight grab, but had to sunk deeper into her, when he heard a women to moan out loud.
" Ah!~ " She moaned out in embarrassment, and her face was turning beet red as time passes by.
Though she was dressed seductively, more like an enchantress, she never really wanted to live that way.
She never liked to coax on some one's tight leg, nor use him like a sugar daddy. She was forced to live such by the elder sister of her.
To clarify things, she had never allowed a man to touch her indifferently, much less allow them to burrow their heads at her weak spots.
Being a pure women, she was naturally angered by the improper actions of mark, wanting at nothing but to punish him.
But right now at her present conditions she was not even in a proper state to walk around, much less retaliate against his actions. She could only swallow down her anger in embarrassment, defenselessly.
" What was that earlier? it's indeed a weird toy to begin with! " Mark muttered out lightly.
" Weird toy! You are weird toy! Your whole family are weird toys!! " Laura bellowed internally in anger, any more and she might start crying the next moment.
" This fluidity, isn't it sweat? " Rubbing his hands over the soft flat abdomen of her, which was glossy. Mark guessed out that it should be sweat.
After confirming it, mark's body jolted in disgust " What a hell of a bed is this, it's already dirty, needs to be cleaned before use! " Mark bellowed out loud, which almost made her cry out loud.
Mark's head reached down to the pants of her, before he turned his body around, so that he could swim his body out of her large bosoms.
Like a pregnant woman, Laura developed a wider convexity, over her abdomen. Just beneath her stretched elastic dress, where mark was present underneath.
He used the round hips of her as a base and trusted out his body out her soft melons of her. Finally his head popped out, to take in some fresh air.
Pant! Pant!
" Finally some fresh air! Its too suffocating inside, which idiot made this thing? " When mark had popped his head out her melons, he bellowed out loud with a sweaty face, which startled the the rest around him.
" killing intent! "
Being a cultivator, mark was sensitive to such trivial things, but right now the intensity was so hard that even his hair started dancing around.
He saw the sight of a little kid who wasn't much taller than him, dressed in black and was glaring murderously at him, as if mark had murdered his family unjustly!
" Bastard! " Nebula bellowed out, taking two small knifes from his right pocket and dashed towards mark.
" What's wrong with his brain! Was he born with a screw loose? " Mark muttered in.
Had mark turned his head back for a second, he would had spotted a reddened face, shedding beads of tears that rolled down her pretty face.
Though she's a slayer, she's too soft hearted to kill her targets. If not for her sister, It would had been a miracle that she could become a peak aura grand master to enter lords quest.
Though Laura had worn revealing cloths on her superb body, she was too shy to try seducing a male target.
When she hadn't been subjected to a thing called love, Mark had straight away dived into her large melons.
He had taken his time, playing with her melons, only to mutter at last that she was a suffocating dirty toy! How could she not cry, despite hearing this?
Whoosh!
Mark jumped out her robes and was now standing on top her soft cushions.
His attention was entirely drawn on nebula, who was rushing towards him with murderous intent.
" Bastard I'll slaughter your while family today! " Nebula bellowed out in rage.
Nebula had been eyeing on the body of Laura from a long time. He had originally decided to let these women feel despair, the pain of being separated from him!
Later he would give them a helping hand, and make them his loyal servants forever through his spells, the cases where they wouldn't go east, if he asks them to go west.
Every thing was going according to nebula's plan, until mark popped up! Mark had enter her robes, played with her boings, stained her thoroughly before his eyes.
Rage filled his eyes. Nebula brandished his military knifes, carrying one on each hand, before dashing towards mark.
Whoosh!
Within a fraction of second, nebula's blades reached next to mark's neck.
Mark tackled him quickly with his flat blades, but his might was not enough to stop the enemies advance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three bounces on the floor, Mark got some grip and pounced back towards nebula.
Right now his instincts declared nebula to be dangerous, and all his attention was necessary put on him. He brandished his blades and swung them hard against nebula.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Unlike the last exchange, mark was now using his mana to reinforce his body. So fighting equally against nebula was not much of a challenge to him!
When ever their weapons collided, thick sounds of metal clashing reverberated the room.
Dense sparks were spun around, and the shock waves generated from their collision were devastating, sending in strong threatening waves of air to the surroundings.
" That pervert is really strong! Even boss is unable to suppress him! " Rin who sat next to Laura, exclaimed out in surprise.
Earlier, she was angered by mark and wanted to kill him brutally! But knowing that the mischievous kid had a strength that was rivaling their boss, she had a change of plan.
" Laura! A good news! I think we found our new potential target, better than that eunuch shorty. " She was quite excited as this moment, she had misunderstood mark to be a pervert who was lusting over her sisters body.
If conditions were good, she could play the matchmaker between them and gain a new power to hop on.
" Not bad! " Mark commented him, looking at the explosive strength of nebula.
At the same time, mark landed a hit on nebula's chest, before crouching down a little to execute a sweep kick, which made nebula unbalanced.
Bang!
Like a compressed spring, mark jumped up high and gave a knee kick to nebula's chin before sending him flying.
Before nebulas body could actually hit the ground, mark took a long leap and forcefully slamming his palm down to the floor, leaving a huge palm print on nebula's chest.
" Half way subdued! " Mark exclaimed out indifferently, before picking up the knifes from the ground and struck them to nebula's arms. One to the left, while the other to the right arm of his.
" You are ten years too young to challenge this young master! " Mark laughed out while his flat blade was now threatening nebula's neck.
" Bastard! " Despite being suppressed by mark, he still dared to threaten him. " Doesn't know the source of his courage, but it's making me almost praise at it! "
" Okay... now time's for me to ask some questions! " Mark exclaimed out loud, but all of a sudden his attention was grabbed by Laura's scream.
" Stop! Don't hurt boss! " Mark heard a feeble voice that grabbed his attention, but it suddenly turned the tides of battle.
Two women's in tight black dress were lying pitifully on the floor. One was sobbing lightly, while other was covering the sobbing women's half exposed naked body, with a white blanket.
Mark almost left his guard open for a second, which let nebula to exploit.
Bang!
Similar to traversing ability of mark, this nebula had a space ability displace, which let him escape out mark hold.
A hard hit on temples was devastating, which crashed mark to a side. While he was trying to get a balance, a kick to his abdomen had bounced him to air.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Ten slashes came abruptly, that led mark to bleed at multiple places.
Whoosh!
To prevent further attacks from landing, mark started circulating his mana differently and was half way convinced to use his way of strength.
But all of a sudden, the fight came to a pause when a figure flashed in between their fight. He had easily caught the attacks from the two parties as if they amount to nothing.
" Stop all of a sudden! " A feminish voice rang out, which calmed down the heated battle.
" Sliver Mask! " Mark muttered out on surprise.
" This silver masked youth is far stronger than me! Seems like I had to temporarily hold this battle to future! " Mark exclaimed internally before moving out.
" Get the fuck out my way I'm gonna kill this bastard! " Nebula bellowed out, not giving a face to the silver masked youth.
" Kneel! "
Just a single word, and it caused both mark and nebula to kneel half way down to ground.
Mark with his tough body was some how resisted this pressure and was standing still on the floor.
Put!
But nebula who was half way beaten badly by mark was unable to withstand this might and fallen over the floor. Still his blood red eyes were glaring angrily over mark.
" Just what the hell were you both trying to do? Good thing that Ebnizer is not here. If it was for her do you still think that she'd take the offenders of her rules lightly?
" Quickly tend your wounds before that monster pops up? " Silver masked youth bellowed out, warning others to not break that Ebnizer's rules.
To clarify things, Ebnizer is the strongest existence among slayers, in this lords quest.
Rumors that she's extremely powerful and had been in this place for three whole decades.
Other than second and third rankings, no other could withstand a single blow from her, much less go against her commands.
She had once crippled a person repeatedly for thousands time, before healing him perfectly to cripple him again in a cycle, just because he bullied a weak slayer to begin with.
She likes to have harmony among slayers, and least should be the enmity between them.
So she set some rules, and one amongst them makes slayer unable to have personal vendetta among themselves.
So the act of silver mask stepping in was out of good will for the both. So when Nebula said him to fuck out of his way, he got pissed out.
Zoom!
A bulky muscle manic descended the floor, that made others wary of him.
" Haha... a new figure, and... he made a wreak of that blond b**ch's rule!
" Haha... Haha... truly Interesting! "
Silver mask was troubled, so was Blank who was watching the scenes from a side.
They want to keep the matters hidden, but the appearance of this second ranker had spoiled their plan.
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Shortly following him, his faction of people started popping out, that made the expression of nebula, Blank and silver masked youth ugly.
" It's all over! Ebnizer will come any moment from now, Immediately escape into the mission world, it's not safe here... Run fast! What are you waiting for? " Silver mask bellowed out loud, that started him.
" If a person could scare this silver mask, then that ebnizer definitely had to be a terrifying powerhouse! " Mark came to realize the severity of the problem he sunked into.
