In the destroyed fields of beak folk base.
The last ounce of fire was devoured by her, shortly following which Wendy revealed a pair of crystal clear eyes which were brimming with excitement.
" A little more and I may expect a breakthrough soon! "
Wendy had finished assimilating the fleshly energies by now!
" These half bear folk... If they provide a bit more energy then I would... Sigh! there's no use thinking about it though! "
Though the half bear folk were vigorous with enormous vitality, they weren't able to help Wendy with a breakthrough, as they weren't just enough yet!
" My Marky... Where's he...? I'm sure he'll be surprised by my... development... "
Staring at her chest which has became more prominent, Wendy blushed a little as she was lost in her wild fantasies as ever!
She's interested in Mark, it was quite evident, but did she had the guts to explain, we think she didn't dare yet!
Still, with increasing strength, her confidence naturally railed up and looking at her figure which was becoming more and more attractive, her mental barrier naturally cool down, just that it was matter of time for her to consider!
" Let's see where exactly is he... "
With improved strength her spiritual sense would naturally develop, and with her near peak order aura emperor strength, she could easily scout hundreds of kilometers far ahead, which would naturally improve with time!
Whoosh!
10 kilometer... 50 kilometre...
Spiritual sense could be compared to a natural radar which has far reach than submarines!
And since cultivators souls become strengthened with their growing realms, it's quite natural that Wendy has far reach than comprehensible!
Strange... What's happening around...
" He's not here...? let's extend my spiritual sense then! "
Whoosh!!~~
100 kilometer... 200 kilometre...
Wendy pressured on her soul to increase the detection range, yet the results were such that it induced traces of worry on her face.
What!? Where's he!?
" Why am I not able sense him? "
Wendy became panicked as her sense had covered the entire western warlords palace, orange rank coalition and even further, still she wasn't able to sense Mark which made her worried!
WHOOSH!!!!~~~~
500 kilometer...1000 kilometer...
Even now if Wendy didn't say that she was anxious then she must be lying on face!
" Fuck! Where's he!? "
It's not like that he could go missing beyond that range right? And the link with my undead, which were under his control... it's no longer accessible any longer...
Even if undead got cut to pieces, she Wendy could detect them easily as they were refined personally by her to begin with!
Still there were no traces of them anymore... It's as if they got vanquished from existence...
" Did they all got persished at once? "
Shudder!
The land around her started shaking wild by boiling aura with Wendy at center!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Wendy felt her cold undead blood rage with heat at this moment!
There were few things which she felt precious in this life and Mark was listed over the top which naturally made her riled up with anger!
She was very excited about her internal development which might help Mark, but all her excitement had vanished at this point when he went missing without any notice to begin with!
It's not like her master would abandon her without notice and since it was his intention to protect Xena he would not go far away when Xena could still be sensed by her within palace!
" Wendy calm down! This isn't time to get panicked! Finding Mark is important now! "
Since Mark could not be sensed by her, she started searching for clues which might hint her some in the surroundings!
Whoosh!
10 kilometer... 20 Kilometer...
Whoosh!!~~
40 kilometer... 60 kilometre...
WHOOSH!!!!~~~~~~
" Damn! Not this way! At this rate It's an never ending process! "
Wendy felt irritated, yet a surprising thought surfaced her mind which made her want to test it out!
" Why don't I try that out...? "
Link!!~~~
Whoosh!
Hundreds... Thousands... Tens of thousands...
One after the other several tens of thousands of undead were summoned at random distance where she want them to scout ahead to give her a clear picture of surroundings!
Since undead were refined by her personally, she also shared a bit of spiritual link with them which made it easy to look through their eyes when needed!
And since the surroundings appeared strange enough to be suspicious, Wendy decided to use this trick as she was forced to, to be honest!
" Fuck! This throbbing pain again... If not for the bright smile and excitement which I seen over Mark's face, I would seldom dare use, unless it was torture! "
it wasn't just Mark who experienced pain in controlling undead, Wendy too feels it everytime, it's just that she hasn't complained yet.
And coupled with seeing through undead eyes as means of scout, her pain would naturally be amplified, which was as expected
Buzz...
One... Two... Sixteen... Thousand...
Her vision abruptly was transformed into thousand pictures which was able too scan almost everything around her!
The thick trees which almost could cover the entire land from sky was clearly transparent to her eyes, as she felt omnipotent at this moment!
A bit longer...
Still the gush of information to her brains was stressful which easily made her want to give up and retract her omniscient vision back to her, still she persisted few more seconds before ultimately breaking out!
Splash!
Cough! Cough!
" Unless I enter realm of transcendent, controlling my subjects are really a pain in **** "
Wendy took deep breaths in, to calm herself down!
She was made to retract her omniscient vision, still her facial expression looked relieved as she finally seemed to find clues which might lead to Mark!
" No wonder... I wasn't able to sense him...
" Those bastards, they have locked the space around them as a whole! "
The space lock ability...!
" I have heard about this, it's formidable but, it has fatal flaw within... Still, the caster is no easy target as he could even influence my spiritual sense to begin with! "
Locking Mark in a isolated space to erase his existence from being detected!
Wendy had her suspicions, when she failed to discover Mark, but after feeling her undead who got obliterated as and when they popped at one particular place, her assumptions were confirmed!
Even if she didn't manage to get the footage of Mark being trapped, she could at least confirm that something was wrong at that place to check it out!
Her undead got obliterated... it means that they were killed without even given a chance to fight back!
But looking over that place with spiritual sense, which showed no signals of battle, she became confident that her boss might be present over there waiting to be rescued!
Whoosh!
Without a delay, Wendy picked her top speed and rushed towards the place!
It was just few tens of kilometers away, still the person present over was able to fool her senses... Means that his spiritual sense were lot stronger than her!
And looking over the fact where she might clearly be put under a disadvantage, Wendy didn't back off as saving Mark felt important before anything!
" Boss! Hang on... I'll be arriving shortly! "
Few minutes later!
She had reached her destined spot by now, and decided to stay put and find an ideal time before acting out!
The surrounding forest was thrown into a devastating condition, and all she could see was Mark to be at the center of it.
Hundred plus additional presences had given shock to her, as all had ganged up on a single person with their earth ripping auras in a grand formation encircled around him!
Mark though was ganged by the group wasn't showing his weak side but he was battling against them head on as equals.
" Eighty initial order, Twenty middle order and, six high order aura emperor! how dare they bully him? Unforgivable!? "
" And that old man isn't he a peak order aura emperor? Damn I should make a move quick! "
Clenching her fist in anger, Wendy cursed herself for being late before activating the shrinking ability of her's to go unnoticed!
" How dare? They try attacking my Wendy's...! "
" They sure know how to courting death! Picking fight with him, when I was not at his side! "
Die!
Wendy silently sneaked into the formation after reducing her body to bean sized!
She then appeared right at the back of formation controlling leader and struck her lance into his brains when he least expected it to be.
Wendy!?
She came quicker than expected...
Mark was surprised to find Wendy, as she came earlier than expected!
Even with system he had difficulties escaping, much less enter into the key piece of formation unnoticed, as performed by Wendy!
His mana was depleting, his spiritual sense would be confined and even the chance to use abilities were sealed making him feel pressured!
Still wendy managed to find him quick and even reached close to vice lord who was a pain in **** since the beginning.
Undead Queen!?
" How did she came this far unnoti... ...!! "
Before the vice lord could probably respond to the given situation, he had his head burst by Wendy which was unexpected!
Still, before his death he had an exited expression as if he found an interesting target to capture!
" Fuck! Vice lord is killed!? "
" Our target has an hidden accomplice! "
" Escape! I repeat escape back to our base!! "
Old blind man, who had given quite a trouble to Mark was easily dealt with!
There were many factors attributed to it, be it the inability of user to move during space lock ability or hurting his foundation by using sword of destruction... Still, it didn't matter as he was dead after today!
Comming back to present, the main piece of attack formation was killed, injuring the others who got attacked by backlash from forceful termination of formation itself!
Since they were already tired with battling Mark earlier, the backlash made it difficult for them to battle further leaving them no other option but to retreat!
Still Wendy was anything but forgiving as she summoned her undead to route them on way, just so that she could take time in killing them to heart content!
" Strange... A peak order aura emperor got killed without a fight? "
Mark felt doubtful, still the result was evident where the main prepatrator was killed and that's it!
When the formation was broken due to leaders death, The others start panicking.
" Let's reel out kills shall we? "
Mark used it a chance, an opportunity to turn the tides towards his favor, and so did Wendy who had started slaughtering aura emperors to relieve her anger.
Die! Die!
Die to repent for making me mad!!
Wendy was quite fierce at this moment as she killed aura emperors like chickens who got weakened after backlash!
And with the concept of sharing experience points with him, Mark didn't have a need to worry that wendy would steal his kills!
Few minutes of chase and the last survivor among those group had his head burst after receiving a lance into his brains.
" Haha! That one was five miles away from this place! Not bad, Not bad! I can see the potential of an unparelled warrior in you Wendy! "
Mark laughed excitedly and gave a compliment while nearing towards her.
Still Wendy didn't replied straight and tightly embraced him, which almost made him feel chock for a second, as he wasn't prepared!
After all the grip strength of near peak order aura emperor was fearsome right?
" Boss! Do you believe Wendy to be weak? Or even hate me? "
With tears rolling down her eyes Wendy turned up her head, looking at the embarrassed face of mark that was not used to this situation.
" Why didn't you wait for Wendy if you want to fight against them?
Do you know how worried I was... when I seen those people entrapping you in that array? "
Worried...?
Looking at the tears dwelling in her eyes, Mark could say that she was kidding, still he couldn't understand why an undead who got enslaved by him feel worried for him?
Just what's wrong with her?
Still he couldn't help but sigh a little, as he found wendy to be changing a little!
Not particularly in her figure to boot!
" Why are you becoming more of a sister who nag recently? It's quite unlike you? "
Though Mark appeared young with this body, he was in fact quite aged with his soul!
And with him enslaving Wendy he could think anything but her getting interested in him, as he didn't felt that possibility to consider!
When Mark compared her to a nagging sister she couldn't help but pout like a kid, as she felt offended by it!
Nagging sister?
You are nagging sister, your entire family is nagging sister damn you!
Idiot! can't you see that I'm clearly interested in you!?
A maiden hugging one with open arms, can't you even guess what does this represen...
Ouch, that hit hard!!
Wendy felt her mind go blank for a second, when a sturdy thing hit her abdomen when she embraced Mark tight at close.
" Is that his... ... thing!? "
Still looking at Mark who merely smiles at her, she felt enlightened!
Wait...!? You are... You arem... That type then? No wonder! No wonder!!
" What happened? What's with that expression? "
Mark couldn't understand why Wendy made that strange expression, still he could see clearly that she felt embarrassed at this moment!
Punching Mark at his shoulder softly, she left to collect the spoils of battle without nagging further!
Sigh!
" She becoming more and more difficult to understand! "
One day she turned into a dauntless lady while the other day she becomes a cute girl who's difficult to understand!
Mark scratched his head in confusion, still looking at his lower part which seems to show some reactions, his expression turned strange as he really felt embarrassed enough to hole up in a cave currently!
Fuck this body of mine seems to have matured, matured enough to release hormones!?
" I hope she hadn't noticed this earlier! "
He called her a sister... still got aroused by her? You can probably understand how his emotions were currently right?
Mark felt quite embarrassed at this moment, and noting that Wendy wasn't around he calmed down a little and was spared from being teased around by her.
May be he already got teased when she put up that strange expression on face!
Damn!
