141 Chapter 136 : The long battle for survival part 16 (1/2)
” Aina! Are you sure that we might find a survivor at this place? ”
Though mark trusted her abilities, he became a bit doubt full looking at the mansion that was completely in ruins.
The entire mansion was crushed to bits, and the land below seemed to have sunken down few meters inside.
Mark had a general hunch about it but wants to confirm it directly from the sky.
” Wait! Let me have a look from the above! ”
Mark traversed few tens of meters above the ground, popping out in air, only to be startled as a result.
He was looking at the ruins which seemed to be caused by a single person one handedly, in a single blow.
A giant palm print with stretched fingers could be seen from the sky, which which seemed to have cracked the surface from its boundaries, that far extends to the neighbouring mansions hundreds of meters away from the impact.
As if a super cultivator had single handedly destroyed this mansion, mark was looking at the aftermath that overwhelmed his imagination.
” peak king... no he should be at the realm which exceeds beyond that limit, an emperor at the least!
Damn! If I were to encounter such powerhouse, wouldn't I been reduced to nothingness! ”
Whoosh!
Mark traversed to the position which designated the location of survivors in system's interface.
Lift!
Mark tried lifting the huge collapsed wall which weighted few tens of tons, below which the survivors position were shown to be present.
Resonance!
Though it was difficult to lift such a mass, mark simply took advantage of its rigidity and crumble it to bits, with his prided resonance ability, that made the resue easier.
A blue light radiated from the debris and a cell which contained the bodies of four palace soldiers was slowly revealed out.
” We are saved! ”
” Thanks heavens we are rescued! ”
” Rover! Hang on, god has not forsaken us! ”
....
One after the other Mark heard several voices which felt familiar to his ears.
” Wait isn't that the group I spared myself from killing before? But what are they doing at this mansion?
And where the hell are those Delphine and Clara, and what are they doing in this damn cell, being poisoned?
Aren't they supposed to be... how did forgotten that my mansion was wreaked, no wonder... but why were they locked up to this cell.
And how the hell did this cell manged to last against the destructive blow, that rendered the mansion to its cinders?
While mark was pondering on this topic, the friends of rover had they eyes widened in amazement, looking at the figure of mark that seemed their ultimate hope.
” Master Mark! Save Rover! ”
Soon as the debris was settled to a side, the blue shining prison cell had disintegrated into air, as if it's purpose was finished to begin with!
” There's no use in pondering, let's ask them to know the general situation! ”
Whoosh!
Mark held the hands of Rover tightly, examining weather he was infested with the curse to begin with.
Sighing a breath of relief, mark proceeded with healing procedures, injecting his pure mana in, before shortly bringing the body of Rover healthy.
....
Few minutes later.
” Hmm... By their description, the attacker's power far exceeds an ordinary emperor!
The scale of destruction lasting hundreds of meters, without making a speak of noise.
It would not be exaggerating to say that he might be of a stage at the peak!
But still why had the intruders abducted them? They didn't had a high background nor seemed to offend a big tyrant either!
Their abduction felt suspicious to him, but when the thing called ”abduction” ran his mind, the heart broken face of Rudia popped to his memories.
” Cela! Lets go for Aaron's mansion! ”
Mark exclaimed hastily, not willing to waste time at this broken mansion.
He wasn't sure weather Rudia was safe or not, but since the mansion seemed to be wasted recently, and his maids of his were targeted.
Mark suspected Rudia to be the next target, in Aaron's mansion.
” Master mark! It's useless searching for her! ”
Cough! Cough!
Rover who had just recovered out of danger had stressed his words.
” What do you mean by that? ” Mark questioned with traces of anxiety in his face.
When Mark had mentioned Aaron's mansion, Rover was clever enough to figure that he was going to search for Rudia.
But Rover couldn't help but exclaim the truth that searching for Rudia was useless, as she was no more in the palace.
” When they wreaked the mansion and abducted your women, one big mouthed guy had bellowed that with these two it finally makes three! Hope it's enough of a bait!
And their work at this place was finished, soon they disappeared into void carrying both their bodies! ”
” Fuck! Not only Xena, they even targeted my maids to bait me!
I'll slaughter their damn... but still I could help but laugh at myself for being weak!
Power, power is what I need at this moment, had I've been strong, would those bastards dare to mess with my close ones? ”
Mark was always an easy going one, but the act of baiting had touched his nerve for real.
If those super cultivator had the power to break the void and reach their destination in a snap, why would they bother going as low as baiting mark?
If not for toying with his existence, playing with his emotions? What else would it be?
When he was burning with desires to murder, Aina exclaimed.
” Ding! Suggesting host to take rational decisions! Instead of blaming yourself for being weak or the kidnappers for being strong, why not find a solution for this crisis?
Instead of getting frightened about the existences of those powerhouses, why not try thinking a method to save your closer ones?
Host! You are a slayer, and since when did a slayer felt threatened? If the senior slayers get the wind of this wouldn't they laugh at you for being incompatible.
Why are you wasting your time pondering about your failure? Why not solve the problem with by the way of a slayer? ”
” Way of a slayer.... ” Though she guided him an answer with four little words, it brought back the confidence to him.
What she said was simple, she was directly hinting him that he was a slayer and the term itself has a huge meaning to it.
The slayers didn't had a need to go through various hassles of traditional cultivation.
All they need was to make a kill, and the tons of experience points would be gathered, which could make him an expert overnight.
So what was an aura king and what was a mighty emperor. Given enough time and kills, mark could slay them as easy as chickens.
Now that he calmed down a bit, mark reasoned that there was a thing called refinement, and with each phase the whole of his existence would be brought up by a smaller realm.
Earlier, killing the undead had almost made him earn 3600 RP, though they were not amounted to much considering the entire toll this palace had.
