All of a sudden, a silver coloured puppet made its appearance before them, followed by the other that appeared after it.
The division masters had made their appearance as predicted, mark had before hand informed his party to get in the formation they had discussed earlier.
Levi was standing at the vanguard position in the front, as her position was designated to block the hits and immobilize the division master so that mark could take his actions on them.
Mark being the leader of this newly formed party was standing at its center, in front of the four, who were stationed behind him at the position of rear guard.
As soon as the puppets makes their appearance, the rear guard were to immediately put up some distance from mark and try to holding the puppets at a distance until the help comes to them.
By looking at the way these four handled things, who were able to immediately adapt themselves to their changing environment, grasping the insights shared by mark immediately to be put ready to use, a new strategy was formulated.
This new strategy of pinning the puppets at a distance was introduced by levi herself, who wanted to make a little bit more use of them, to elevate some of the burden placed upon her.
She became confident that with the current powers of theirs, the four could at least aim at pinning the puppets to a designated position until she dealt with the ones she was tasked to do.
The main reason behind this change was the drawbacks of spatial cover, which does not enables her to perform its use simultaneously.
Though the time limit before it disappears was that of a couple minutes to consider. This limit may decrease faster than expected, as the environment she's present in was that of a mana scavenging type. The spatial cover may even disappear before the know time limit passes by, which was not a good thing to be taken note of.
So these four could be used to reduce the burden imposed on her, by reducing the number of division masters she was about to face at specific times.
Mark as usual was was going to suck dry the essence, from the mana cores, to increase his levels and make use of this disaster to his advantage.
The old timers from upper management would bleed at their foolishness, if they discover that the trap which they set were actually made use by mark, to his advantage. Which were about to help him level multiple times, if the condition were up to his favor without an unexpected event from occurance.
Once level fifty was achieved, his overall powers could be increased dramatically, and who knows even high order aura lord may necessarily have to tremble under his might.
Comming back to present, four division masters had jumped away from the original position and dashed straight towards the place where the four had split apart from the main body in two different locations.
Levi has jumped straight towards the remaining two, which were dispatched to deal with mark along with her.
" Spatial cover! " Levi muttered the name within her mouth, which was heard by mark to get ready for his next position.
After forming a team, the other puppets would also recognize levi as her kill target and start attacking her without holding back in the least.
Both puppets had launched their attacks on levi simultaneously, swinging the large weapons on their hands at high velocity.
Catch! Catch!
With the spatial cover as a thin over lying guard, she caught both the weapons over her shoulders and pinned them into that position by tightly grabbing those weapons by means of her arms.
The puppets by nature were not an intelligent beings to begin with. Though their programming within their body played a major role, which provided them with some reasoning capacity.
Right now their reasoning were telling them to get free of their weapons from Levi's grasp, and so were struggling hard to do.
Nevertheless the king class body of Levi was capable enough to hold these weapons on her shoulder by herself for some time, which was enough for mark to perform his task of sucking the cores simultaneously.
" Go! " She bellowed immediately, following which mark jumped over her shoulders and used it as a foot hold to dash towards the puppets present ahead at a fast speed.
Boom! Boom!
Mark clenched his fists tightly and thrown it violently over the middle of the puppets chest, near the position of it's heart.
A huge impact was made on their bodies, as the intensity was increased more than the normal.
Levi had pinned the puppets down, to a defenseless position and made them receive the attack head on without the chance for them to block, in a still position. So the impact with which mark attached them was increased to many times than the normal case.
Like a savage beast which rips off the hard shell, before the tender meat in the inside could be obtained. Mark wreaked off the outer chest plate and made half way to the large core present inside which was separated by a thin sheet of metal covering surrounding it.
Levi who had held the puppets in still position was loosing her mana continuously at a constant rate.
Though with the large reserves of an aura king, which were literally many times larger than that of an aura lord. Under the present harsh conditions, she could at max hold them for about five minute or less, so mark needs to hurry up with his procedures.
The puppets though could not sense a thing called pain nor bore emotions as how other living beings used to have. They could still sense the intent with which mark was attacking their bodies.
"To reach their large mana core present between their chests."
In a self reactionary mechanism which was about to kick in. The puppets decided to let go of the large weapons within their hands and remove off the plaque called mark from its body.
Absorb!
Too bad for them, mark had already started to suck in their mana from the large core present inside, after tearing off that thin layer of metal covering.
" Ding! Host levels up " System made a exclamation which ranged down to his ears.
Earlier mark had reached the peak of level 47, after devouring the cores of puppets from second division.
Now that the puppets with higher version was present before him, who's cores were off much higher quality than that of the ones before, mark levelled immediately, with a slight increase in his sucking capacity that aided him.
The momentum of the puppet got dull. Though their speed became slower than before, they were still fast enough to knock him off their bodies, interrupting him in his process of sucking the mana into his body, which may lead to few hidden injuries at the least.
Dash!
Smash! Smash!
Levi who had seen the actions of these puppet dashed towards mark at an alarming speed, taking the attacks over her body head on and warded off these by means of her palms, later she grabbed their arms immediately to prevent them from escaping out.
" Ah!~~ This feels good! " She was able to hear an euphoric tone sounding from her back, which sounded quite lewd to her ears.
Mark who was absorbing the essence from the mana core had went to a state of temporary euphoria. Forgetting about the changes that were occurring around him.
Sadly for him, this state was quite a short lived one. Tons of essence present inside was just sufficient enough to feed him for a short duration of ten seconds, before the large body of puppet had fallen abruptly over the ground lifeless, devoid of a proper central core inside that provides it's body with energy.
Though the large central core of division masters had been crippled, they would be recovered shortly by smaller ones present around.
Mark who had came back to his sense was able to see two lifeless puppets present below him in a defenseless position.
The four followers of mark, who barely managing to keel up with their division masters, had missed the scene made by mark earlier.
Had they spotted the embarrassing state of mark earlier, their impression of him being a tough leader may change drastically, looking at his foolish side earlier.
Mark slid his hand behind his head scratching it with his fingers, thinking about his self which had made a fool out of him before felt embarrassed.
Looking at the furious face of levi which was about to pop out some curses before him mark exclaimed in a lighter tone stating " Sorry for before, could miss levi lift the puppets up in the air for a time.
Please hurry up with it, before these puppets gain mana from the floor below! "
