Demon Slaying System 149 Chapter 144 : Trap To Begin With!

Base 59... Activate! "

After bellowing it loud, Gazil's strength gave out and Mark sensed twenty presence rus.h.i.+ng out the barracks which were hostile towards him.

" f.u.c.k they are... ... Don't tell me that I have to fight them all at once? "

Few silhouettes appeared out from unknown barracks and descended down the ground with a furious face.

Twenty figures of various builds, all with bulged up muscles in different skin tones were glaring cold at Mark, preventing him getting out there entrapment.

These powerhouses had radiated their auras and formed a natural barrier around to prevent Mark from getting out.

Though their encircling was for naught as Mark could easily traverse out it.

Mark decided to stay still and access the situation before taking a decisive action thereafter.

If he was alone, maybe escaping out from these crowd was feasible.

Wendy... he doesn't have need to worry about her, as the regenerative powers of her could very well let her stay alive in the least.

What made him hesitant was the one called Xena, one wrong step and she would be killed unjustly.

They were those half mutant group, which were clearly hostile to the slayer attributes of Mark, and combined with the fact that he had killed their master, Mark could very well guess the after math that'll come following it.

A powerful unit of twenty emperor cla.s.s cultivators, more presumably test subjects of Gazil who had lost their humanity under his experiments.

They were programmed to be absolutely loyal to their master, so when the command was launched he'd die hundred of times if he failed at finding a correct solution to escape out this predicament.

Earlier when Mark questioned Aina, he came to a realisation that these half mutant change was irreversible, and the only favor he could do was to kill them out!

This way atleast the souls of them could be let free and enter the next cycle of samsara.

Though this resolve was for good, Mark couldn't help but frown heavily when he heard the last dying words of Gazil.

That one sentence of Gazil, and the after math had thoroughly started him to core!

Mark had started doubting weather he could complete this lord mission alive of those many number of powerhouses were to interfere with him.

" Base 59!! " Just one number and all it was need to make him faint down for a second.

A single unit in this base was capable of wiping millions, provided enough time what could this single group alone do?

So if a single group was this frightening, what concept does base 59 signify?

At least there were 58 more bases before Gazil's one and each with a elite group of half mutants!

And what if they weren't the only batch? Wouldn't that make it an unrivalled army of thousands?

Mark could probably imagine the consequences this world was going to face, and with the addition of half mutants... he became speechless with the mere thought!

If even a single batch of half mutants could kill all Top shots in a country, what concept was multiple batch in hundreds carry?

It was an overkill!

Even the mighty empire standing above hundreds of countries couldn't prevent this doom, and being helpless they have to accept the reality for sure of annihilation!

"Since mutants and slayers are supposed to be at odds, would my mission be probably to slay half mutants or save this world or such?"

Mark could get a hunch of his unknown mission from this encounter!

May be his mission was to prevent the possibility of this apocalypse from happening. Or else it might be to prevent the extinction of local races or some thing else!

Whatever it might be, it was almost impossible to accomplish them alone, and considering the strength Mark possess currently he was also helpless before these twenty.

Since that's a thing for tomorrow, Mark didn't necessarily had to frown about them.

By Gazil's command only base 59 was prematurely activated!

So for now the exposed batch of half mutant were just these twenty, and Mark might come find them later as he need to escape out this place alive before achieving it.

If possible he'd like to borrow that Milton power to prevent this predicament from happening "The thing called Project Black!"

After all his life depends on this mission, and the denizens of the world are doomed to face them.

So Mark didn't want to brace himself by taking the load of this predicament all by himself like a hit blooded youth.

Comming back to the present, the mutants weren't making a move either, nor were they budging an inch from their d.a.m.n place.

They were thoroughly examining the wretched state of Gazil who was breaking his last moments!

They seemed furious and the second Gazil leave his breath, they would be more than willing to wage a battle against Mark.

" Those undead soldiers... unreliable! Wendy... she can at most handle a one! "

" What should I do? "

Mark pondered for a second, thinking of a way to escape out this place, with all three alive.

Suddenly a thought strikes him brains "Asura Cry!"

These two words had brought some confidence to his face, but at the same time he had a prenominon that the tremendous amount of power from the skill wouldn't just come for free!

A heavy price had to be paid for its use, as the effects of it were too strong to be free.

Though he didn't figured out what, but a chunk of his vitality seems to be stolen the each time he makes use of it.

It was more like paying his life source for its use!

Though he didn't figured out much, the amount didn't seems to be low. So he had to restrict it's use for dire emergencies.

"Traversing away with Xena It not feasible!"

Right now his priority should be to escape out this his base, and bait the furious half mutants to follow him.

If not the undercurrents of the fight would be devastating and might draw Xena in.

Her life would very much be threatened and his previous effort would be for naught by then including the price he had paid while barging In this wolf base.

For now Wendy wouldn't help him much in the fight, so he decided to let her escape with Xena while he Mark would divert the attention of those group and escape shortly after it!

Mark had come to know the knowledge of Xena's real ident.i.ty.

"A royal princess of empire and a pampered one of the empress at that!"

If she were to lose her life and consequently he Mark were to escape out this place alive, the possibility of him turning out the culprit in eyes of conceited n.o.bles was high!

And if Milton's were really protective of him, an earth shaking internal war of humanity could be resulted, and the sinner for humanity would be him who failed to stop this outcome by then!

Or precisely he thought that it might effect his mission negatively if the humanity were weakened because of him.

And the continent would become desolate by slaughter of half mutants which would turn the world into a waste land filled with piles of blood and dead!

" That Gazil... d.a.m.n him! He really thought of these things while making his shady plans! So it was all along a trap to begin with! "

" Such a sinister b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he really left me helpless at here! Good thing that he's dead, of such a person was left alive... "

Though Mark was relieved a bit from Gazil's death, he at the same time felt the tension in air to heat up as the half mutant were prepared to fight their masters killer to death.

" Revenge... me...! "

Gazil gave out his last words before dying for real.

" d.a.m.n thing! Revenge me? You're asking as if your death deserves revenge! For making those half mutants... you deserve to die hundred times! "

Mark cursed internally before turning to Wendy who was afar and gave her his orders.

Wendy!

Signalling her with his eyes, Mark ran straight towards the sky, piercing through their energy barricade, flying away from the group only to attract the load of furious half mutant away from the base.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Shortly following his departure, the half mutant release a dense amount of mana, accelerated their speed to chase Mark, leaving behind a tail of light in their meteor like radiance s.h.i.+vering the onlookers that caught the scene by chance.

" Boss... you're buying time for us to escapee! " Wendy became a bit emotional and with a tad bit of reddened eyes she grabbed little Xena in her arms with a complicated gaze before moving out!

Thud!

All of a sudden her core started resonating with a strange object in Gazil's abdomen, and her body was very much dragged back to him like magnet curving up in air.

A s.h.i.+ning red orb in Gazil's abdomen pierced out his body and tried pressuring her core.

Shortly following it a dense could of black appeared out the orb and a devastating beauty in revealing clothes popped out of it releasing a threatening waves which scared Wendy for real.

" Absolute dominance! "

An alluring voice rang in the surrounding and the robes on the beautiful lady fluttered in air which slowly formed shadowy snake like whips and caught Wendy along with Xena who was carried over her shoulders.

" A runaway undead! How strange she seems strong with high intellect! "

While she was frowning about it, the absolute control of her cancelled at once making her dumbfounded

" How did it escape out my control? It's strange... she answered undead queen!

Seems like she became a queen by devouring the original! But her soup frequency... some thing unusual is occurring at here! "

With a puzzled face, she muttered out lightly before shortly rubbing her fingers on Wendy's face as if an interesting puzzle appeared right before her face which made her curious.

" I remember that I had almost made this girl my personalized undead before, how did she terminated her connection with me? "

Pierce!

She then gabbed Wendy's neck forcefully, clawed in her nails and started pouring a strange flow of energy to reclaim her back.

Within seconds the beautiful face of her browed down, unable to form a connection with Wendy asked if the undead queen before her had developed an immunity against the spell of her.

" Interesting... let's see how longer you will stay sane under my powers! "

She then clawed in her another arm, pierced it over the other side of Wendy's neck and intensified her attempts.

Right when the life core seemed to come under her procession, she got scared by the strange flow of energy which countered her body and blown up the arms which had earlierly formed a circuit with Wendy's neck.

Crack!

A gush of hidden energy surged within Wendy's body and the breaching powers of the women got backlashed with the cracking of orb which earlier was used to suppress Wendy.

The orb disintegrated into minuscule particles and got absorbed into Wendy's body forcefully, which shortly got a.s.similated into her core.

Sooner she got out the control of this mysteries lady, Wendy felt like running out this place as her natural instincts were telling her to get out this place if she wish to see the sun the next day.

" That's backlas.h.!.+ d.a.m.n it, she's already been claimed! "

" But why did that gush of energy seemed to familiar yet distant as if it was being influenced by an external source! "

" Wait! That's the energy of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Slayers!! "

" d.a.m.n my luck, don't say that the slayers had found out the plan earlier and dispatched a lone Knight to deal with this base! "

" Kill I need to kill him fast! "

Before she could try chasing Wendy to find out details, her legs became restricted by strange energy!

Grab!

" Dala... So it was really you b.i.t.c.h! "

A strange black magic circle popped below Dala's leg and locked her to that position.

Remotely, Gazil locked Dala to ground, using his spell and completed the black chain lock her up.

" f.u.c.k! He's still alive! "

Dala cursed internally before focusing her attention to the cunning self of Gazil that played fake death.

Before she could shook off his spell, Gazil's body floated up in air and rushed to Dala, trying to bring her down by bombarding himself at proximity.

" d.a.m.n! He's self exploding! "

Though she could grow back her lost limbs, it didn't mean she was invincible.

If all her body was caught in the self explosion of an aura emperor, she wouldn't even have the chance to retaliate and die following it.

" Such a scheming b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he was playing dead, to find an opportunity to lure me out! So it was all along a trap to begin with! "

" Good thing that I was tempted by it, if not... wouldn't he be repairing his body to come after my soul?

Sigh what ever, he's a high level corpse, and will definitely be a good use for my future plans!

But now if he self exploded wouldn't I be missing his body to do! A clever b.a.s.t.a.r.d indeed! "

Dala extended her palm, severed her legs to get off the restrictions and disappeared into black smoke, appeared out besides the Gazil's head and disappeared again before binding him in her snake like whips and disappeared from the place.
