When Arlong made his tough decision
to escape out the palace alive, which he earned rightfully.
Mark along with Cela had left the Wendy's mansion screening through other mansions finding survivors like them that aren't yet cursed to begin with.
Since the method of killing Wendy was not known to the two, Cela decided to use a container made from holy metal from her storage ring, which was a natural enemy of the undead.
" Let me out? "
A small weakened groan of Wendy was heard from a metal box in yellow, which Cela carried on her back.
The mystery of how a person transform into an undead was not known, nor do the changes which take place in transformation were yet to be discovered.
Wendy though became an undead, she was no different than a regular human, in terms of intellect.
The undead had always been a subject of research, so is studied by researches at a great deal of interest.
Cela being a curious one, had always tried experimenting things which was different from the normal.
Now that a great deal of research subject such as Wendy was spotted before her, how could she let go of her.
If condition were favorable Cela might actually find the key for immortality inherited by undead, much less bringing out an actual cure for the curse which deemed impossible by Aina.
" Let you out? Just what element within your body makes you almost an Immortal like existence?
You're a case which I haven't seen till today! after dealing with the palace crisis I would pour my blood and sweat in finding out the reason why?
So wait patiently in my box, it's not suffocating internally and is well ventilated to let the cool breeze enter in! "
Cela exclaimed curiously.
By her instincts she could determine that Wendy had cursed become an variant of undead.
She was't a simple undead which berserk out raging on others, but an variant which managed to retain its original intellect before being cursed.
What shocked Cela the most was Wendy's power levels.
The original weak body of her which became incapable of cultivation had instantly jumped ranks and reached the spirit saint realm is one go.
Though she might be a variant of undead that managed to retain its post memories.
It could not explain the reason as to how her cultivation skyrocketed several realms in a short period of time.
Whoosh!
" Any survivors or abnormalities? "
Mark exclaimed internally, waiting for Aina to ring him a ding!
Right now mark had exited the Wendy's mansion, and was standing before the next which was closer to him.
" Ding! Responding to host, no survivors or abnormalities are found inside the target mansion! "
" Well then time to search the next mansion! "
Muttering his words lightly, mark disappeared from the place and popped before an another mansion waiting for system to respond.
Before he actually left the mansion, mark used some heavy explosives from the storage, and burned the whole of mansion at once, with the cursed ones that got their soul set free after death.
" Ding! No survivors...
As before system repeated the same sentence without changing her tone, as if searching in was waste of his time.
Whoosh!
One after the other Mark screened through several mansion hoping for survivors to pop up in system's detection.
As and when he decides to go to the other mansions, Mark burns the building with the cursed ones that die from their inner cores shattered by high heat.
As if mark had screened the mansion with his bear eyes, to search for survivors, they both traversed before thirty two mansions, and left the place burning it down to ashes without even taking a glance in.
Riglard mansion.
" With this mansion it makes 32! Just when are we actually going to search in for real? "
Cela asked out anxiously.
" Wait! "
Mark replied back, waiting for Aina to exclaim out.
" Ding! System had located three survivors inside the mansion!
The position of survivors can be seen through the radar, in systems interface!
And at last an abnormal undead is indeed present in the inside, much weaker than the one host had dealt with earlier! "
" Survivors! "
Mark exclaimed out excitedly after hearing the word "survivor"
Though an abnormal case was present in the inside, the addition of survivors had made him excited for real.
" Finally we found survivors! "
Cela was excited after hearing the word survivor from mark.
Mark opened his systems interface and tried locating their position.
" Hmm... Top floor, three green dots in one place surrounded by numerous reds dots outside their room! "
Mark exclaimed internally, before making his way in through the front gate.
As Cela was not a slayer, she could not see the systems interface, and was looking at Mark strangly who seemed to draw patterns in empty air with his bear fingers.
" It might be a top secret method of Milton's, he's pretty talented it seems, no wonder even princess was a bit interested in him! "
Exclaiming it internally, cela followed him into the mansion.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Though Mark could straight away traverse his way in the survivors room, he tried doing it the hard way as he wouldn't get the chance of killing these undead if he were to go for the former case.
Boom!
After killing the undead surrounding the room, mark smashed the metal door of room before opening it with his brute strength.
" kyaaa!! Close your damn eyes! "
Cela bellowed out with an embarrassment face, which was covered in her white bandages.
" The hell! What's wrong with her? "
Unable to understand what's going around, mark lifted his head only to spot three naked women being tied on wooden board in an enticing position, entirely butt naked without a cloth to be spotted on her.
Their figures was quite attractive, and were definitely a first class beauty with good proportions.
Smash!
All of a sudden, Cela thrown the box containing Wendy's head on marks face, in an attempt to block his vision.
" The fuck! You should have stated the matter earlier! "
Mark cursed her internally before closing his eyes, turning around opposite to the direction of the door he opened earlier.
" Miss margarita! "
Cela recognized the middle one at first glance, but still it took a while to confirm her identity, because of the status she held in the palace.
Unlike the commoners or soldiers in this palace, margarita held a high position.
She's a vice general of western warlords palace and at the same time her grand father is a vice leader of the palace.
Much stronger than Aaron itself, who is the current leader of the palace.
Apart from her personal status, Mark owes her a great deal of interest, cause she's the person who had saved him from being parceled to black wind alliance.
When Mark was washed to the shore after getting entangled in the battle of the colossals.
She margarita had made her decision to send mark to Milton's, instead of black wind alliance which were at odds against the Milton's.
Now that the Savior of him was tied to wooden board, butt naked. Mark failed to recognize her as he was unconscious during that entire time of travel.
" Ding! Stop cela from entering in! "
Aina exclaimed in haste.
" Cela stop! "
Without pausing for an another second mark bellowed loudly to grab her attention, but sigh it was already too late to begin with.
Several jelley like tentacles appeared out from the wooden board which held cela tightly in still air.
" So it was a bait! But why did this Monster not popped in the radar nor sensible by me? "
Mark came to a conclusion that the monster that held Cela in its tentacles had used the lady called margarita as a bait.
Which was confirmed by looking at the corpses that were present lying in pieces below the wooden board.
The monster manged to slip through systems detection and even his own senses which Mark was proud of.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Mark grabbed his blades tightly before slashing it out on the tentacles.
Unlike his expectations the jelley like things was quite elastic and bounced back, before lashing it straight on his face.
Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip!
Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip!
" Fuck! The tentacles are resistant to physical blows!
Good thing that this monster has a weak cultivation base, if not for that dealing with it might be a lot difficult than normal! "
Mark cursed internally before trying to cut it off with his mana.
Absorb!
Instead of getting sliced by pure mana, the tentacles absorbed it before thickening in its width.
" Haha! That woman would be displayed butt naked like the one tied on the wooden board! "
Wendy who got hold of the situation they were dealing with, laughed out in excitement.
The one who was going to use her in research was going to be displayed on the wooden board butt naked, how could she not be excited as this moment?
" What! Butt naked! "
Cela had almost cried out after hearing that piece of information from Wendy.
" How to save her? "
Mark questioned out angrily.
Right now he was not in mood to get embarrassed, thinking of what Cela was going to experience.
He wanted the answer to kill the monster, but Wendy remained motionless after exclaiming her words, stating.
" Haha! Good luck with your attempts, hope to see that violent woman get displayed as Margarita! "
Author notes:
Margarita = the same woman that brought mark to the western warlords palace.
