" Wendy! What should I do? "
Grabbing the yellow container which contained Wendy's head, Mark bellowed out loudly.
" Don't shout at my ears, cause they are... sensitive! "
Closing her right eye slightly, Wendy exclaimed with a smug face.
" Tell me what should I do? "
Mark lowered his voice, yet the smug expression on Wendy's face was yet to be brought down.
She remained motionless as if the time was stopped for her that moment.
It appeared as if Wendy was waiting for the moment where Mark had to beg for a solution to this problem from her.
" This little... Wait! Why am I the one getting impatient at here?
Do I really have to ask the solution from this undead girl, when an existence like system is there besides me? To answer my questions! "
Mark calmed down a bit before placing the yellow container down.
" What the... ? "
Wendy cursed internally, unable to understand what's going through his complex mind.
Realizing that Aina might know an answer to kill this monster, mark tried questioning her.
" Aina! How to counter that monster? "
Physical attacks are useless against the monster, and attacks filled with mana are absorbed easily, as if they were its nutrient to begin with!
What exactly could be used to counter this monster remained a puzzle to him.
And as time passed by, the chances of Cela getting butt naked, before being displayed on the wooden board would increase.
Mark exclaimed internally, but not to avail as Aina played mute this instant.
" The hell! Why are systems so unreliable when we slayers need them the most? "
Mark cursed internally, barely controlling his temper.
Noticing the changes that occured on mark's face Wendy exclaimed proudly, as if the way to finish the monster was known to her and herself alone.
" Haha! If you could release me, this venerable one shall share the method to take that disgusting monster down! "
Mark was tempted a little but the shouts from cela had sounded reasonable, which made him change that flickering decision of him.
Even though she was in a tough position, Cela took time and warned him unable to imagine the case where Wendy might be set free before her eyes.
" Don't listen to her? It might be a blind trick to escape out the holy container! "
" Hey human, stop spouting your nonsense! Believe me, this Wendy knows the way! "
With a righteous face wendy exclaimed out, eagerly awaiting for marks to make his decision.
" Kyaaa! "
The jelley like stuff had started meting down her cloths.
Though the rate of dissolution was less, mark could determine that within a couple of minutes the white priestess robes of her would be melted down completely, putting aside the naked body of her which would be used a bait to catch it's targets.
Cough! Cough!
Cela coughed a couple times before exclaiming.
" Don't listen to her nonsense!
What if she's trying to lie about the situation?
What if she gang with the monster and corner us, when you release her from the containment?
What if this possibility comes true? Could you bear an another problem above your head than the existing ones? "
At one side the divine maiden was getting naked, while on the other the possibility of undead to deceive him could not be left ignored.
System was not responding to him, and shallow moans of Cela could be heard clearly, which made him more impulsive as seconds ticked by.
" What should I do? Do I release her or not? "
Click! Click! Click! Click!
Mark removed the locks in haste and grabbed the head of Wendy, with the face pointing away from his palm facing his head.
Mark clenching his fist hard, before smashing it straight on Wendy's face.
Smash! Smash! Smash! Smash!
By now the robes till her elbows and knees had melted away and the bandages on her face were half dissolved partially revealing a beautiful face.
" Don't waste my time, just tell... the method! "
Smash! Smash! Smash! Smash!
" Haha you brute! It's useless? We undead do not feel physical pain! "
Wendy laughed at the unsuccessful attempt of mark to derive an answer out her mouth.
" Believe me! I know the possible way to kill it! Just put me down the floor and walk meters away from me? "
Wendy bellowed out angrily.
" Believe me! If Cela gets naked... I'll burry your head hundreds of meters under the ground with the holy containment to accompany you! How about it? "
Wendy's head jolted a bit, hearing the thing which mark used to threaten her.
" Fuck! Threatening me?
Let's see how you're going to save her today?"
Wendy cursed him out openly.
" I don't buy that an undead could not feel pain? "
Bellowing it out mark activated his ability resonance and started breaking her from inside out.
Starting with her brain, then her cranium, and finally her scalp, wendy started to crack every where, before shortly regenerating back with her undead ability.
Her greyish eyes rolled back a little with her extruded tongue which she barely managed to pull it back to her half opened mouth.
Though these series of breaking and healing were taking place simultaneously, mark could notice that Wendy was trying to hold on her cool, until a point where she gave finally gave out with a large scream.
" Ah!~~~~~~ "
Wendy gave an ear piercing roar which pointed that an undead might not necessarily be immune to pain or such related stuffs.
Though she was willing to bear that brain twisting pain, Wendy wasn't willing to share the method which could possibly be uses to kill the monster before them.
" Seems like I really have to put her down! "
With a troubled face mark was lowering his hands and was about to put her head to the ground.
" Haha! Finally my pitiful act had made him fall for that! "
Wendy bellowed internally with a devious face masked by fake expressionless expression externally.
" Stop! don't put her down! "
Cela exclaimed out at great difficulty.
Unlike mark she didn't had a stronger cultivation base, and was unable to struggle against the monster in the least.
" Use a soul pact, you both could come to an understanding with that soul concept! "
With soul pact, cela didn't had a need to worry about their safety and Wendy betrayal after putting her down to floor.
" Tough bastard! I have almost had made him believe me! "
Wendy cursed cela who had ruined her escape plan.
" Submit under me! "
Mark demanded with a murderous glare in his eyes.
" So you are proposing a master and servant pact right? "
Wendy exclaimed out with an troubled face.
Though she was playing troubled on the outside, the inner self of her was devising a devious plan
" Yes! "
With a single word Mark replied back, which caused the inner composure of Wendy to turn devilish.
" Soul pact! "
Whoosh!
A small red coloured array like pattern was created instantaneously between them.
" A drop of your blood! "
Wendy exclaimed out.
" A drop right... "
Muttering these words out his mouth, mark bit his thumb before smearing the blood on red coloured pattern floating before him.
" Is that it? I didn't felt any undergoing changes within me? "
Mark exclaimed out with a puzzled face.
" Idiot! "
Cela who managed to free her mouth out the jelley encapsulation bellowed out loudly.
" At least... mention yourself as the master before smearing your blood! "
Though she managed to warn him, it was a bit too late to begin with, and mark had finished smearing his blood on the red pattern by now.
" Haha! "
All of a sudden Wendy laughed deviously, before turning her head only to spill blood out her tongue bitted mouth.
" Fuck! This little... she made me lower my guard! "
Using soul pact was severely forbiddened, as the master of this pact could exert full rights on the servant.
Unless the master of this pact was mentioned beforehand, the strongest of the two would automatically become the pact master, leaving the weaker one at the mercy of him.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a sharp pain to his brain followed by weakness could be sensed by him, which started to worsen as time passed by.
" What's happening to me? "
Grabbing the hair on his back mark muttered these words lightly.
Though the pain was intense it was still bearable by mark.
" Haha! The one who lasts longer would become the master! "
Wendy laughed out with a devilish smile over her face.
" Let go of me! "
Rocking her head violently, she managed to get away from Mark's grasp, and started rolling down the ground.
Whoosh!
Visible to naked eyes, Wendy started to regenerate.
Starting with her neck, her cells started growing out, which was slowly followed by rest of her parts, until a reborn like self of her was presented before mark.
" Idiot! She's an undead and the pain tolerance is pretty much high in them! "
Cela exclaimed out with a troubled face.
Had mark failed to last longer, the final winner would be him and he'd get to exert his rights over her.
Quite oppositely the case in which Wendy managed to win over him and she'll become his master with every right over his soul.
If that were to happen, knowing the real existence of him is possible much less getting the information of system out his very mouth, which was disastrous.
Pretty much she can become an overpowered character just with his assistance.
" Just quit your resistance already, let go your hopes of winning, as I am an undead to begin with! "
Wendy exclaimed her words proudly, as if the race undead was superior to humans.
" In terms of tolerating pain, we undeads are experts, so your pitiful act of struggling is going to end in vain, as this wendy will become your future master!
So... "
" So what? Do you think that this mark is easy to trample on?
Know that the things this mark hate the most are two!
One is betrayers and the other one being the deceivers! "
Exclaiming these words out his mouth, mark traversed before her with a pissed off face, which could rip her apart any second from now.
Grab! Grab!
Grabbing the hands of her in unison, mark plucked it out her body, as if it were breaking twigs out the branch.
" Fuck! how's he able to cast these complex tricks under this mind breaking stress? "
Wendy agaped in surprise.
Pierce! Pierce!
Without out wasting a second, Mark instantaneously summoned his blades before piercing them through her abdomen, and severing the Wendy's body into two.
Slash! Slash!
Zoop! Grab!
Opening the warps simultaneously with his slashings, mark grabbed her slender neck before plucking the head of her out the warp, placing it back to the holy container from where she was taken out earlier.
" Wait! What just happened earlier?
Why was he able to move smoothly and why am I getting myself trapped in this hell of a container... again?
" It's not fair! This holy container weakens my abilities!
No!~~~ this intense pain! It's killing me!! "
Stop this! Wendy can't take this any longer!
I surrender! I mean I surrender for real! "
Wendy shouted out loud in intense pain which was no longer suppressed by her body's innate pain relieving ability.
Grabbing the container which contained the blooded head of Wendy Mark exclaimed
" I am not an idiot to fall for the same trick! Undead Wendy! "
