Chapter 16 : John wade's death

The villagers were shocked , so were these gaurds, as the guard who had rushed to mark was not some weak character to be trampled over with ease, and yet Mark has killed the guard, in a single counter against him, other guards who were going to attack Mark, had stopped halfway as they lost their hope to win against this little monster,as it was natural for humans to fear death, they feared that they would also die following the person who was smashed to death under Mark's counter.

They felt themselves lucky, as they had not been the one who had died under Marks perfect counter, because of their arrogance, thinking they could kill this little shrimp present before them, but he turns out to be a monster who was strong and can kill them any second if he really wished to, Mark had emitting out his aura from his body trying to intimidate them, his aura had made them understand who they had just offended, to let them know that he was not some average rookie, they can wish to kill easily, to get some money as arranged by their master, but he was what they used to remember as an "aura grand master" and at such young age, he must be from some peak influense or he had an invincible potential within him , this had shocked them to shudder their legs with fear thinking about the possibility, money, what money ? money can be earned if there was life, but can life be still bought with money ? no ! they does not wish to confront this little monster before them, they also cherish their own life, but as being a part of the loyal guards, they does not have any options, other than following their master, they have to obey their masters command untill death.

Mark was able to observe some hints of hesitation in their eyes, he was a veteran, who had lived out through countless battles and affairs over his past life, he was able to read their faces as a plain sheet of paper, he does not want to make things difficult for these villagers, as killing a pampered young master, who was worthless in eyes of experts of his own family, will only be left to replacing his position with new better candidate, but if all the gaurds were to be killed it would lead life and death relationship between them and him and the villagers who were involved in this case would rather not be spared that easily by that powerhouse, he was naturally not worried about his life, but thinking about the villagers who would be killed, as they were defenseless after his disappearance from this place.

Guards had made their decision, they decided to use standard formation surrounding him to deal with Mark as they had no other choice, either way they may die, under the hands of the little monster, Mark white or under their own Master's hand, in case they refuse to obey his command, as they were restricted by some secret technique and were forced to do works for their master. So they would rather die honorably in a fight, like a warrior who would wish to die under a skilled warrior who was better than them. But Mark altough had guessing their intentions, had not decided to kill them, rather he want to make some arrangements and plans to these guards as he would like them to deal with consequences regarding the aftermath of killing this young lord of Wade family, he passed through the gaps between their formation and it was too weak to hold him, knockout the guards who had rushed towards him before reaching out of their formation , now he was ready to traverse next to John, who was few tens of meters away from him, taking away the beautiful women that he had caught before, to escape with his life before Mark can caught up to him, but sadly had he known that Mark had little mastery over the. laws of space , which had improved tremendously after the fight with the mutant and also as a result of his increased mana from leveling up.

He traverses right next to him, above his head, takes his blade out of his personal storage space, gathers strength in his arms and makes a swing which had made a clean cut over johns neck, his head was cut apart from his body and had rolled down to ground, the horse had stopped moving after it has traveled few meters to the front before stopping, as it had no one to give command to her, to let her move. john was dead, but never had he thought that, one day he would die under the hands of a little kid like Mark, as children of his age would had just started to familiarize about their surroundings, but an abnormal such as Mark had popped up killing him clean, beheading him in a single strike.

At this moment, the guards who were either knocked out or were trying to reach out to him, had collapsed on the ground, few signs of pains due struggle of some unknown origin can be seen on their faces, strange runes started appearing over their heads, mana was gathering around them and had surrounded their bodies, which then started to gather and condense over their heads, and as if a restriction has been lifted up from their bodies, their strength started soar attributes started to increase, Mark was able to see their levels, attributes and their mana capacity increasing in a tremendous phase.

After a minute the guards whose levels, was low and supposed to be ranging from level 25 to around level 29 has risen to level 41 to level 45.

So my guessed was correct, they had been suppressed by some strange restrictions, like a spell, supposed to be an unorthodox in origin, which had obtained from over an old ancient ruins of inheritance of the demonic faction or they were spported by an demon of higher order, which was acting as an mastermind behind the scenes, hidden in dark, using Wade family as source to raise her power.

Mark was not surprised as he had seen several such restriction before in his past life, even he know some orthodox spells which can control some person, but those did not hinder their cultivation base or their power, as only "Domonic arts or dark magics" in his new life has such effect, and he who had fighted against the demons during his days in the foreign lands, where he had to deal with countless problems, these restrictions were also one among those problems.

The guards, who were lifted up from their restrictions, had walked up to mark and had thanked him, for killing that bastard and freeing them from his curse.

These guards had explained him about the course of events as to how they were once caught by these Wade family experts, they were respected by many and had used to be powerhouses of their own respective families, they powers were sealed off by the Wade families dark magic, to prevent them from escaping, and mana channels were blocked with magic curses, which had a 50% probability of controlling the targets and only by death of the key figure who had performed the magic, and he who was the curse controller was dead , they would be freed from those magical curses , unfortunately they were arranged to fight for their own key person who had activated magical curses on their body, which was John wade and had to guard him, and luckily there had been an coincidence for them as they bumped into Mark who had killed John wade, their curse controller.

They have to stay hundred meters within their curse holders range, if they were to exceed the distance by themselves they would be paralysed by the demonic curse, so even if they want to plot against him they were not able to do.

If they were to harm their curse holder, they would die because of the curse imprint inside their head which would burst open from within their heads and their souls would be collected to perish it without even a chance for then to reincarnation , disobedience was not possible because they will be forced, to do the work their owner has assigned to them without fail, and their first mission would be to kill a family member of their own to test the effectiveness of the curse at it only had the probability of 50% success rate.

Suddenly many silhouette appeared at the place where John wade was killed. their levels were all above 50, Mark can fight against them but he can't guarantee his lifes safety if those experts were to gang up on him.

Author Notes

1. restrictions = The loyal guards were actually experts who were sealed off their power and were implanted with a curse, which can let the user control the target, but the probability of success was around 50% and they had no way to test weather he was cursed or not, so a simple test was made by Wade family that was to let the target kill their family member to whom they were too close or had an intimate relationship with them, which can at least prove their validity of curses.
