Mark was given a huge fright when he found his opponent to be a mighty aura emperor!
For a second, Mark cursed Gazil for going over board.
Asking a kid of his age to fight against an aura emperor? Is it fair?
Wasn't that a bit too excessive of him?
If it were not for him being a slayer, fighting an aura emperor at his age would be laughable.
Cause the fight following it would be meaningless, as it would be of a one sided massacre, and the life of his would be at the mercy of herculean beast.
In other words the battle was already concluded, even before the actual results could be displayed out.
" Such a sinister plan! No wonder he sounded confident! "
But since it was inevitable to clash against him, Mark didn't hold back and seen through his opponents base attributes.
He was quite anxious thus moment, examining it with a fright in his face, thinking that it might be a part above his limits.
But when it's stats were displayed, the earlier anxiety of him was gone, which was soon replaced by a clear crisp smile over his face.
Looking at the composure on marks face, which turned for better.
Gazil and the rest were confused, unable to read the thoughts, which Mark was going through.
For mark, the herculean beast with low intelligence was simply a blind brute, with no proper intellect for battle.
Meaning, that Mark still got a chance of his own to defeat him!
If he used his wits, then as long as he plays well with plenty of tricks, he might necessarily trample it down. at one point.
Or else fighting him head on would be a fools play and he Mark might have to pay heavily for underestimating it by then!

Despite it being a half mutant which he should be wary, the name of 021! had started him thoroughly!
If a monster of this caliber was let to roam the world, in matter of years wouldn't it reach the summit by then?
An another interesting discovery, which startled him was it's name "021!" Does that mean there are twenty more such monstrous existences before it was created!
And what if those twenty monsters possess the same blessings as this 021, wouldn't that be devastating to this current world?
Mark could no longer help but feel the urge to kill 021!
If such existences were let go and roam this world, wouldn't this world face extinction by then and wouldn't an apocalypse be caused because of their numbers?
The ability to grow through killing was already formidable by itself!
And what does that ability steal means, wouldn't it become invincible through countless number of abilities by itself.
But Mark became anxious with the former ability "wasn't this similar to what he was privileged with?"
Mark couldn't help but frown that there might be a link between the origin of a slayer and a mutant, the relation between system and the Evil god!
An unknown connection which he was kept dark of!
And through the tone of disgust for mutants, system had clearly notified him that the mutants were sworn enemy of slayer.
The reverse might be quite true for the other party, which seemed to be bit enraged on Mark's sight!
May be their primal instincts?
There were many perks for slayer, which were only unlocked when a required number of mutants were slayed!
What caused mark to be curious was the existence of half mutants!
Does killing a half mutant counts, same as killing a mutant? If yes then would that be added as +0.5 in his achievement or even 1, cause they have that mutant blood flowing through their veins?
Though he was curious about the half mutants, right now it wasn't the time to frown about it, as he didn't had the luxury to think about them.
Cause the one before him would scramble him to bits, shatter him pieces if were get caught by his own carelessness!
Rumble!
The after shocks made half mutant were subsided and the ground stopped shaking following it.
The huge build of "021" slowly rose to sky, with a murderous glare towards mark, which showed it's natural hate after glancing at the figure of mark!
Gazil was startled and became quite curious about Marks real identity!
Cause this was the first time where he had seen a half mutant acting strange, outside his given orders.
Roar!
021 once again gave an ear piercing roar, before shortly disappearing from the sky and appeared before mark instantly, within a snap.
A huge air pressure was earlierly directed towards him, following which the figure of half mutant pulling back his arm with a clenched fist was noticed by mark.
Boom!
At a high speed travelling through close distance, 021 instantly appeared before mark, launching it's fist with engulfed red fumes which spiraled around it's fist going too to the sky!
" Shit! Traverse!! "
By hair breath, Mark escaped that blow, but still got a bit wounded on his face, which could be spotted by a narrow stream of blood near his temples which got grazed by the fuming spiral earlier!
Whoosh!
It once again started rushing towards mark, with a furious face.
This time instead of running away, he mark tryed to use the impending momentum to his advantage, and damage the half mutant with its own powers.
Mark took a side step, escaping it's claw like fingers, he then turned around in haste and struck the elbow if his to its face after enhancing his bones through pure mana.
Fall!
" The hell! How the hell did I fall back instead? "
Though he was the one to punch its face, the tremendous momentum of it had pushed back Mark, right over the ground before trying to stomp it's legs on Mark's face!
" Traverse!~~~ "
Mark traversed a few meters behind, but the monster slammed it's legs to the ground and lept towards him with a flying knee.
Traverse!
Mark traversed to its side, trying to slash out its blades, but unlike it's stats which gave out its mental weakness.
The large mass of it instantly gained enlightment, turned right a little and changed the flying knee to a side kick, trying to slashing it's legal as a blade through marks neck.
Traverse!
Mark traversed right above it and landed on top of it's huge back only to slash his blades for the first time trying to pierce it through 021's neck.
Clang! Clang!
As if his blades got clashed against a heavy metal, a couple scratches were left over it's neck, which didn't affect the monster by much.
Imbibing his mana deep into his blade tips, Mark once again slashed out, before retreating as the monster had sensed his presence by now.
Clang!~~ clang!~~
Though it went deeper than earlier, roughly a mm gash! It healed up instantly leaving no traces behind.
" What's with that abnormal skin? It's more of an armour that could heal instantly! it's a bit overpowered! "
Before mark could probably frown about it, the 021 had extended its palm and a sucking force from it has attracted Mark straight towards its fingers.
The pressure was so intense that before he could traverse out the predicament, 021 had long since brought back it's hand and lashed out a full swing, which tossed mark hundreds of meters away from the impact point!
Luckily Mark had instinctly drawn his blades to protect the face, if not for that, that blow earlier could had long since knocked him cold, and that's the end of deal as mark would be forced to serve Gazil from then!
Like a broken sand bag, Mark had straight out tossed to the walls, before breaking it out and crashed a few hundreds of trees, devastating them thoroughly, before he calming down his momentum after hitting a large boulder which was dragged a dozen meters with the impact.
" Fuck! Even if it's a half mutant it's no more worse than the original! In certain aspects it's even better than the real deal, as it could be mass produced by its owner to control them! "
Mark quickly circulated his mana, reconnected his broken bones in arms before standing up In a defensive position.
" Shit! Got no choice but to use ways of strength!
Man it'll probably drain down my intelligence one day, if I keep relying on this for every problem above my limit! "
" Ways of strength! "
Mark wouldn't want to drag this mess for a long time, and his instincts were telling him to activate his hidden cards, as the opponent before him was not to be underestimated in the least!
And the last blow clearly shown him the real 021, which was overly powered before Mark.
Whoosh!
With a blink of black aura around, a terrifying aura encapsulated Mark, whirled around his body and made him look more intimidating than earlier!
Few soldiers of aura king cultivation started to feel a heavy aura pressing down their shoulders, which they barely managed to withstand.
But the mounts below were had failed to bear this effect and knelt down on their four feet!
Though the distance between them was quite far, Mark had deeply etched the name called fear, in the bones of soldiers, who were now terrified at his sight!
" Haha! Got some tricks, I appreciate it but still it's not enough to deal with 021! "
Looking at the excited face of Xena, a high cultivator chuckled out with an evil grin.
" This boy... Why do he feel a bit familiar, and it seems that he has affinity for blood skills! Interesting! boy I am starting to like you more this way! "
Being startled Gazil spell these words, but quickly readjusted his plans and smiled out ambitiously.
