Chapter 17 : Onset of slaughter

Silhouettes were appearing out randomly from many directions, reaching towards the place where John wade was killed. Their levels were all above 50, Mark can fight against them and win under the condition's where he had to confront them in an one on one situation, but he can't guarantee his life if those experts were to gang up on him, unless he unleashes all his trump card to turn the tides into his favor.

Those experts who came flying, had arrived from Wade family, they had arrived as they were called upon by John as his reinforcements , through the use of his Magical Artifact (1)*, to ensure his life's protection, if those experts had came little early than they had came, they would probably had saved his life. little had he known that Mark had control over laws of space , instead of escaping from him, he would had tried hostage play game to prolong his time before those experts had arrived to save him.

Seeing Mark, who was in a defensive stance, ready to fight against those experts any moment, the ex-guards of Wade family who had been liberated from the curse, as a result of Mark's deed, had started to panic.

" Little hero, the experts from Wade family has arrived already, we advise you to run away from this place, we will intersect them and buy you some time, hide far away where they would not be able to search your whereabouts, If those personnel's were to catch you, they will make your life hard enough for you to beg them to quickly end your life, we will to let you evacuate quickly, you can't stay here anymore".

The guards who were liberated from the curse were grateful to Mark for liberating them, they were trying to persuade him to get away from this place, as even their cumulated power will not be able to defeat a single core member from Wade family, and if he had arrived among those experts, they can only buy some time before mark was able to escape from this place.

The expression of other villagers which was filled with happyness, being saved from John had immediately sank down, filled with full of sorrow. They also had to evacuate from here if they want to survive, they are not willing to let go of their lands, their houses, and belongings, after they leave their homes they have to search for a new place to stay, After all they have no money on hands and even food was scarce to them. It was difficult to go out from here to start a new living. They may even have to live off working under some one else's shelter, and if he was not any much better compared to John, then they once again had to lead this same life they were once used to lead. Few were reluctant to leave as their families and friends behind, who were once caught by Wade family personnels , as they had offended them in some way. They all hoped that Wade family would one day release their loved ones back to them, but there had been no news about them. No one knows how many years have passed, and they still had not returned them back. Seeing mark who was ready to fight these personnels for them, few people's fighting spirits started to erupt, there were few who had determined to fight for them instead of running away.

Those experts examined the John corpse, after they had founded the soul plate which recorded his last moment. They were surprised to find his cause for death, he had died under a kid whose age had not even crossed 10 and was killed within a single clean strike, the aura from the wounds had let them analise that these wounds can at least be caused by an aura grand master, also a stronger one at that.

They had spotted the same figure which had slayed John wade, few tens of meters ahead of them, they reached standing before him doing nothing but staring at him. Mark was able to see their faces which had lacked hostility, but had eyes filled with satisfaction upon seeing him. He was little confused but had made few assumptions, recruit me or was it they were interested in the power behind me, or my means of leveling up, he was not sure.

" What is your name, little kid ", an aged person, among those group of experts asked Mark, his level was at 54, his face was resembling that of a typical merchant .

Mark knew that this " old man helian " was up-to something, so he decides to hide his real name, and exclaimed himself as "Jian lin". Mark decided to use his old name to fake his new one, in this way even if these old folks were to use some hidden means to detect his lie, they may get a negative in that aspects as both were his real names.

"Jiyaannn... linn.... , an odd name, are you from some tribes around here". He asked Mark as these unusual names are usually founded more commonly used around some tribes in their region, who name their people accordingly on basis of stars and forest, the gods that they believe in and the ones that they pray.

"No , I am not a tribal, but came from a foreign empire". Mark had to make some stories, that was believable.

No wonder, he was left unrecorded, given his talent that cannot be left unnoticed, our intelligence would had long founded about his information and had recruited him , Helien thought to himself.

Instead of killing mark who had killed John, they asked Mark to join his Wade family, as a "insignificant pampered young master" is worthless in their eyes compared to mark with his outstanding potential, which can very well change their future, they may have the chance to become a core member of the family, for contributing their family with such a meritious deed.

"Little boy are you interested in joining my Wade family".

"Fuck..... , join your family..... no, few seconds ago, i was wondering how to destroy your so called family", mark bellowed out angrily in his heart.

" Thanks for your high consideration , but I am not willing ".Mark gave out an blatant reply which surprised the audience.

"I know that our family young master was at fault, we will compensate this village for their remorse caused by our young master, with enough treasures for them to live out their entire lives depended on it".

The villagers were shocked, so..., it all depends on the interests and gains for their family, young masters death was worthless to them in face of Mark's talent.

On seeing Mark, who was reluctant to join their family when they tried their , they stoped to act and decided to reveal their true faces.

" Little boy, do you want to see these villagers, you have risked yourself, protecting their life, saving them from our young master tyranny die at the end, implicated in the murder of our young master. If you join our family, the family can not only spare you from trouble or compensate these poor villagers, also provide resources for your future advancements to higher realms, what do you think".

Threatening me..., ah...., Mark used to hate anyone that had threatened him the most, but this person was explaining as if it was the only way he had, and the blame for villagers death lies on him, because he had refused to agree to their demands. Shameless....., really shameless, not only he had failed in avenging his young master but also tried to recruit the killer, as i had high potential.

" Is there no other way to settle things between us ". Mark deliberately made a face which was showing traces of fear.

" Is there any..... ".Helien said out loud, with an wide sneer at the corner of his lips, he thought that Mark was fearing his Wade family, he had let his gaurd down in front of him.

Mark took his blade from his personal space, amplifying it from his large reserves of mana, raising his strength attribute by spending all of his accumulated skill points, activated his Slayer title function (2)* , used his fire blade skill, traversing behind old man Helien with his laws of space. He made a strike, struck his blade inside his neck, dealing an fatal damage and killing him in one strike.

Mark with his strength attribute value, which was above 200 had raised it till 300, by using his acculated skill points, and later activated his slayer title, his strength stats had risen temporally to 1200 and along with his mana amplifying his strike he was able to kill Helien in a single strike.

Without wasting time, he started a slaughter, as his time limit allocated for his title's power was a single minute and he had to kill these 30 experts present before him within the .

Ex-guard's had found that, there were no core members of Wade family present among them, and they jumped into this mess, providing support to Mark in his way to slaughter these experts.
