Chapter 101 : The saint's soul innate constitution!

" This geezer doesn't know his place to begin with! Master is a strong first grade transcendent, an existence which almost had touched the boundaries of second grade! A super genius!

Coupled with a "class four hell lord's spirit" at his arsenal, which powerhouse could probably overpower his strength in this 21st floor, excluding the old retired monsters from the major forces, that are in seclusion! "

The loli sitting on the black flying carpet bellowed out amusingly, lifting the mutilated self of the intruder in air, who was beyond recognition, by a simple flip from her fingers.

" Master is merciful! He wants to make you his underling! Submit quietly without resistance, and live out to see miracles brough by his superior existence! " Liza who had trashed him badly, had exclaimed out with a sense of pride, when talking about her master, but glaring coldly at the person, who brough them the grounding punishment.

" Increase the difficulty to two! " Gilldart bellowed towards the faculty. He then turned towards the intruder and continued " let this old geezer witness my play... for one last time, had he refuse to submit! "

By this time gilldart was standing before the magmatic carona, where a large pore was created instantly, making an opening, the space for him to exit out the confinement.

Whoosh!

A black handled dagger was rushing towards him, at a terrifying speed, launched from his behind by the intruder.

A last ditch attack was made by the intruder. With all strength he could muster at that moment, he launched a hidden dagger towards gilldart, directly aiming at his head, to kill him in one clean strike.

Boom!

At the speed of sound, the dagger dashed towards gilldart with a sonic boom.

With a life threatening might, it released a radiance of red light at its tip. Like a molten hot metal getting red, by generation of friction through rubbing of daggers blade against the gaseous air particles.

By the time it reached near his head, a vortex of air started accompanying it, whirling around the dagger like a white sand storm.

Catch!

As if the dagger was a measly projection to begin with, not worth mentioning. Gilldart sensed its path easily, just with the blunt senses of his, tilting his head towards his right, long before catching it's shaft bear handed.

Boom!

The dust settled in, and the figure of gilldart catching the dagger bear handed, without turning his body was spotted.

" Nothing but a show! Old geezer, it's a pathetic attack indeed, like the pathetic you! " Gilldart snorted out before turning his head abruptly, looking at the mutilated body of intruder in anger.

As if his life line been cut, the intruder made a horrid face, before putting his head down in a regret and closing his eyes like a hopeless man, that was about to be killed shortly.

Just when gilldart turned back his head, satisfying him with the glance of spotting the intruder in horrid, his facial composure turned ugly all of a sudden!

The dagger though was launched with a terrible might, it wasn't at a level where it could threaten a transcendent to begin with.

But the intruder had placed his hopes on last attack, knowing that his fate may necessarily lead him to death, even if his intended goal was achieved!

Was the last attack really aimed at killing gilldart? If not, what else could the intruder be aiming for?

So it definitely had to be a decoy, deceiving the others while at it!

Gilldart soon started regretting the decision he made earlier, letting his guard down for a minute before.

Just when the intruder had his head down in regret, he maintained that state for a while before sneered out with a satisfying smile. As if his intended work had been accomplished to begin with.

He wanted to make sure that gilldart falls for the trap and catches his dagger.

So when Gilldart's attention was focused on

his dagger. A hidden explosive managed to bypass the opening made in the array, and settled down on the control board without making a noise silently.

This was a specially designed device, his final trump card, which could be detonated on whim, at any time he chooses for it to explode.

" Shit! This old man had fooled me thoroughly! " Gilldart bellowed internally, cursing at him before rushing back towards the control board, which apparently was in the direction, the dagger was launched before.

" Damn it! I shouldn't had fallen for his little tricks to begin with, my arrogance... my arrogance had indeed taxed me heavily this time! " Gilldart bellowed in, anathematised him for his recklessness.

Things became too out of his control. Turning back, rushing towards it, only to look at the control board being destroyed, by a loud "boom!" which left the whole of control centre in tremors.

The shocks has reverberated through out the centre, and the waves had been transmitted out to the surface, which shook the whole of the platform in tremors.

But the test track, having several defensive and restriction arrays had managed to suppress this shock waves from entering in, which didn't attract much attention from the testers inside.

Many faculties with weak emperor class cultivation had been injured the most.

Though it was not life threatening, their injuries could not be left ignored, as this could damage their foundation severely, if left untreated.

The control board with which gilldart had been playing a boss, tampering the test got destroyed all of a sudden.

Once they saw the control board getting destroyed, few of the faculty felt better.

Though had to bear with pain, they couldn't help but smile out their happiness with a regretless face, after seeing the things done by the intruder before their very eyes.

" How dare these minions destroy boss's board? " Bellowed the mysterious youth, who was quite domenering with his words earlier.

" Idiot! " Bellowed the loli, knocking the head of his with her hard knuckles, from above.

" It's not them... but it was this old captive we subdued earlier! He had installed a hidden explosive in the vortex, which was the size of a grain, managed to bypass boss perception when he got distracted by the dagger before.

The explosive flew out through the gap in array, from which boss was about to exit out.

The intruder chose to bid his time playing pitiful, and when our boss let his guard down for a second, he blew up that explosive and destroyed the control board as a whole. " The loli scolded the youth, spotting the blunder made in his reasoning, giving him her second knock by then.

" It hurts dammit! " Rubbing the scalp over his head, the youth shouted loud looking at the proud face of loli who was flying on her carpet.

" He's quite a scheming person, no wonder the old are all sly foxes to begin with! " The youth cursed at old, looking at the body of the intruder who was now held captive in loli's carpet.

" Ah... not all old are sly foxes! Uncle butler... uncle butler is an exception to it! haha.. haha.. " Rubbing the back of his head, the youth exclaimed timidly, looking at the pissed off face of the butler, who was now cracking his knuckles with eyes closed, and few bulging of veins on his head which could be spotted clearly.

" One month! " Bellowed gilldart, looking back at his servants that made the same mistake for the second time.

" No! My favorite model will be releasing her accessories the next week! Please spare me boss! Spare me alone! " The mysterious youth cried out, and made a pitiful face before gilldart, extending his hands to recieve mercy.

" Two months! "

Hearing those two words the youth literally fell to the floor, just from the murderous glares his fellow companions made.

Had he blindly accepted that punishment, they would only simply been grounded for one month. But now that he pissed off his boss, the punishment for the group has been extended to two, making the others look at him with murderous glares.

" Lenora... Lenora... Lenora... Lenora... "

Like a wronged child, he hid his face at one corner, muttering the name of his favorite model with revolving eyes.

Ignoring the mysterious youth, the loli went towards her captive, placing her slender arm's over his fore head, bellowing " Soul bind! "

All of a sudden, a startling transformation took place. Her silver white hair turned golden and was shining brightly. Her crystal clear eyes with red pupils turned into a luminous orbs golden light, which pierced through the eyes of the intruder, directly affecting his soul.

She then opened her petite mouth and exhaled her golden hot vapours before him, which then penetrated deep into the intruders body through the pores on his skin, fast, as if those vapours had life to begin with.

later those golden particles collected towards the intruders glabella and formed a thick black brand over his fore head directly, underneath her palm with golden nails.

Crack!

The soul brand formed earlier was short lived. Cracks started forming all over its edges, which ultimately dissipated into void as if it wasn't present before to begin with.

" Hump! A tough soul indeed, let's see how long you're gonna resist my soul attack. " The loli exclaimed arrogantly and was now determined to use her entire strength in subduing him.

Five minutes later.

The loli flying in air had performed numerous attempts, trying to subdue his soul. But each time she makes this attempts her effort turned into a failure, by the strong will of intruder which resisted her control.

The intruder was not willing to submit his proud self under her barrage of attacks, and was trying his best at resisting her blows.

" Not good... Uncle Melcrow, his soul is strong! If I am not at wrong, then his soul had been tempered with a strong strengthening technique, which he probably trained from younger age!

My cultivation is not good enough to damage his old wise soul. Use your Nine-Nether fire to weaken him!

I'll try conquering his soul once it's foundation becomes unstabled by nether flames, when his soul gets reduced to a temporary weakened state by then! " Furrowing her brows, loli exclaimed out, requesting Melcrow to aid in her conquest.

Burn!

The butler dressed in black suit, Melcrow Westfield swung his cane in a wide arc, towards the direction of intruder, releasing a reddish brown coloured flame with an evil aura, released out from the cane's edges as an arc of flame.

" Ah!~~~~~~ " All of a sudden, a loud screen reverberated the control center, which was quite a painful cry, as the flame directly entered his inside, chirping his internals at an faster rate.

At the same time, blood red flames started emitting from the openings on his face. Which shortly engulfed the entirety of his body and start burning him externally.

The carpet had been brought back by loli who doesn't want her cherished artifact to get damaged under the Nine-nether flame.

The reddish black flame which entered in had also started pressuring his little soul in glabella, with his transcendent body that was growling down in floor in screams of agony.

The process continues for a period of ten seconds before Melcrow decided to put off the flame, so that his little comerad could perform her next attempt.

Earlier, she had expended much of her soul power, and received few backslash from her failed attempts which injured her soul by a little.

Right now in her current conditions she may as best perform her soul binding for a couple more tries, after which she would probably had a need to recuperate, before continuing her process.

So when the butler had used that nether flame of his, which had a property of attacking both the physical and well as the spiritual existences like souls.

The intruders resistance would be weakened by a large margin, before which the loli could successfully bind him under her powerful spell, making him a loyal servant of her's who will never go east if she says him to go west.

" Soul bind! " She once again had repeated the same process, trying to bind him under her powerful spell.

But the intruder with a strong perseverance and will power had managed to escape her soul bind by hair breath, overcoming his imminent predicament from becoming her personal slave.

The intruder made a cold glare, looking straight at her eyes with a mocking face. As if all her tries would turn futile, even if she were to necessarily damage her soul in the process.

Burn!

" Little girl, it's of no use... This old bones would never submit und... Ah!~~~~~ "

" The stubborn intruder had managed to stay sane, even after getting engulfed by his deathly Nine-Nether flame. " The old butler was startled, after seeing the result, he sighed internally before making his next move, exclaiming " If we were to meet under different circumstances, we may had became good brothers after a spar, but fate had set a different route, for us to meet as enemies! "

There has only been a small portion of cultivators, in same realm, that managed to stay sane after getting engulfed in his flames, much less the intruder who had just entered the transcendence, without a spirit contract to back him up.

So the admiration towards his strong will had started brimming in Melcrow's heart, but he had to kill that admiration immediately got his master, as this intruder was directly resisting his masters command, a thorn in his path!

So he either had to submit under the loli or die peacefully without a future trouble from occurring.

Looking at the stubborn intruder, who still refuses to submit under loli's attacks. Melcrow unleashed his entire might and made a complex magic circle, which almost resembled the mechanical arrangements of a an old geared clock.

Towering pillar of otherworldly reddish black flames started descending, which enveloped the intruder thoroughly and almost covered half the entire space between the eight pillars, with a terrible heat generated, which may even reduce an aura emperor to ashes.

A minute later.

The flames were still burning hot, as lively as they were before. But gilldart had a different set of orders to his servants, which almost left the wounded faculty in shivers, hearing it.

" A small change in plan! This geezer is still resisting your soul bind, so it's better to finish him off for once, ending the source of trouble at this place.

Who knows, what sort of troubles this old geezer may bring, if he spreads the word that this gilldart was working under Darius!

But... wouldn't it be a pity to waste his precious body of a transcendent? How about using him for a fertilizer or at a war beast's snack! Sounds good right? " Gilldart said with cold eyes, glaring at the burning self of the intruder who was still howling his screams of agony.

Gilldart was frustrated, because he was not able to get a new transcendent working under him, so he had set some other plans for him, which may still be of his use.

" Melcrow, didn't you said that you caught a new half step transcendent, and preparing to train it for a mount?

Feed this geezer to it, there may be a chance for it to catch the mysteries of transcendence, and enter the realms of the transcendents by then! " Gilldart chuckled while exclaiming, looking at the burning body of the intruder as if it was some rich supplement of a beast to begin with.

" Why is master becoming more ruthless at this moment? Is there a hidden enmity between them! " Melcrow frowned in, feeling pity for the strong warrior who managed to resist his flames earlier.

" Yes master but... My nine nether crow is still in its infancy period. This old body of his might not be sufficient for it to achieve a break through! " Melcrow answered back politely, bowing a little with his old bones, before his master though he was literally the oldest person present around here.

" Still is there a better alternative to it? " Gilldart exclaimed with indifferent eyes before moving away from the array toward the cracked screen which could still display the test going on the track.

" Old man, a last chance! Just give up your stubborn resistance, this little girl admires your will power and promises to treat you fairly, after you become my subordinate! " the loli said with a concerning eyes.

" Sub... ordinate! Isn't it more like a... slave! " The intruder sighed out with a laughter, barely controlling himself from his weakness before her, with a mocking gaze.

" Whatever! Just submit to this little girl, you don't have a say in here by the way! " She exclaimed angrily, before placing her arms over his forehead, trying to perform her soul bind for one last time.

" Gilldart you still doesn't know the severity of the matters you stepped into. The thing of working under Darius is not going to help you in the least, much less your hidden family that may be thoroughly dragged to hell under his vicious ambitions!

My sincere advice! Make things back normal and there may be a chance for you to return. Killing mark will only intice anger of flame glory on Westfield, when Farthur investigates it!

Is it worth risking your whole hidden family for that single seat Darius promises?

Stop! There might still be a way for you to return... cough! cough! " Spilling out these words, and at a same time a mouth full of his blood, the wounded person fell over the floor, loosing all his mustered strength at that moment.

" Return back! Old thing just so you know that there's no return any more, though i regret choosing his offer, but things had went to a stage where the thing called return had long became non existent!" Placing his arms over his back, clenching his teeth hard in regret, gilldart bellowed before him.

" Lock him in the cell, my old man was kept. Let the friends of old times accompany each other for a last time!

Turning around, directing his gaze away from the burnt body he exclaimed " Let's wait for Sir Darius to pass down his orders, over these rebels! Until then let them be confined to prison. " Gilldart finished his sentence by bellowing it out, before sitting back on his luxurious chair, in a way dominating, glaring at the huge screen before him, looking at the figure of mark that seems to comprehend some thing.

" How should I deal with this little brat from now on? " Exclaimed gilldart helplessly.

" Soul bind! Didn't I said you all to lock him with my old man? " Gilldart sensing the fluctuation of mana streaming in air, comming from the centre of the array got startled. He questioned his subordinate with an angry gaze looking at her small figure as if she was rebelling that precise moment.

" Master one last time! let me try soul bind once more!

If this strong willed old geezer could become my slave, my soul strength would leap miles ahead, making me subdue such targets in future with ease! " Loli exclaimed out immediately, pleading her master to not let go her target from her, and waste such a precious commodity to become a snack for Melcrow's pet.

" Hump! Are you planing to rebel? " gilldart questioned her with angry gaze.

" Master... this servant wouldn't dare! " The loli bellowed back with teary eyes, catching the head of the intruder before dragging his body out the array from the very same pore her master exited it.

Without muttering a word, she went towards the direction of prison, to lock the intruder along with her masters father.

" If you failed to submit him this time your punishment will extend for six months... no, how about one year of grounding in disciplinary hall, and you would be demoted to vice square leader by then!

Are you sure that, you still wants to make a fail try like before? " Gilldart exclaimed, giving a last try for his subordinate, forgetting the command he made earlier.

Clearing off the tears from her eyes, she exclaimed " This servant thanks her master for a last chance, let this servant prove her worth by subduing him! "

Earlier all her attempts had resulted in failure. So her position within her master's heart might had been reduce a little, with disappointment clearly seen on his face.

Had she failed to prove him her worth, she would naturally be unable to forget this shame, where she had failed her master by letting a powerhouse to be sentenced to death under her masters orders.

" Strong souls like these geezer are not seen commonly, and soul binding to strengthening my soul is also a good thing to begin with! " When a soul binding occurs, the master would acquire full access over his submitted slave. Be it his share of memories, skills he acquired, the things he see and also perceive.

The will power, his soul displayed earlier depicts how tough the intruders soul was.

His soul was like a sweet nectar before her petite mouth, a delicious cotton candy which she wanted to acquire her controls over.

How could she let go of this reward easily, let alone six months, or one year, even if her master asks an exaggerated grounding of two years or four she would still happily choose to go on gamble, as the reward for it could not be ignored easily.

" My soul power it seems to be depleting, old geezer become my slave, at least then you could be alive to see the sun the next morning " loli bellowed internally, with beads of sweat dripping down the chin from her glowing body, which started to dull down gradually.

Fall!

The little figure of loli fell down from air after her soul strength being depleted. Though she had finished casting her soul bind it depends on resistance the intruder offers up against her spell.

" Is my charm repulsive to him, am i really ugly to his eyes that he better off a snack to that bird, rather than submitting to me. Gosh! he really is a stupid geezer to begin with " loli sighed internally, cursing the intruder.

" Wait! What's happening to my soul. How am I recovering this sudden? My soul injuries requires a couple months, before its recovered entirely!

But at this rate, a couple minutes are barely enough to return to my peak, no not just peak but it could even exceed my peak state by several times. " The little figure that fell down to floor had cried out in anxiety!

" But how am I gaining this power exponentially? Am I undergoing a breakthrough this moment... no, it doesn't seems to be that case.

Then... did I successfully gained my ownership over him! " Thinking about the possibility, she happily searched through her soul, looking for the ownership mark.

" I did it! I really did it! The stubborn old soul of his had finally given up it's resistance, submitting under my soul! " She became child for a bit, and started jumping happily on floor, after confirming her ownership.

Even though she looks nothing more than that of a kid, her real age had already exceeded the boundary of thirty, which means that she's no longer a person of younger generation, but a strong cultivator of older generation who achieved rejuvenation through transcendence.

When a person achieves transcendence, his body starts rejuvenating slowly, little by little, until their external appearance becomes one fourth the life they actually had lived for.

So when a mature woman of thirty undergoes transcendence, her new appearance would never exceed the age limit of eight, leaving her with body which had the appearance of a child.

Though her real age may necessarily had exceeded thirty, she still jumping happily with anxiety brought from subduing the intruder, and making him her slave.

Though she had subdued many others targets that fell victim to her spells, like this intruder. not one such target had cultivated to transcendence, as this intruder was her first transcendent slave, she was naturally excited about it.

The maid Liza who spectated the scenes had clapped her hands for few times, appreciating her little sister before, placing a brown pill in the intruders mouth. Which healed all his external and internal injuries at a drastic rate.

One minute from then.

The increasing powers of her soul halted a of a sudden. But the powers her soul posses this moment could directly subdued a tough target like the intruder, which almost depleted her entire amount of soul strength in the process.

The old white hair had turned pale brown with his yellowish eyes turned crystal white. His old weathering skin had turned smooth, brimming with vitality and if he was reborn this precise moment.

With a thin trimmed beard outside, he was looking extremely eye catching, as a handsome adult, that didn't exceed his age by thirty.

" So I was subdued in the last! What a pity... This old me had turned young, yet this young self didn't have a freedom to enjoy this youth! Truly a pity indeed. " The brown haired man sighed out, pitying himself for falling at last to this loli's spell.

" Cover your body dammit! " loli bellowed out, ordering him to put on some clothes, as he was present naked before her very eyes.

" Ah! sorry young lady! " the brown haired intruder exclaimed before circulating his mana and creating a robes purely made of mana.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a royal black robes which looked extremely majestic and intimidating had covered up his entire body. Combined with a cape which was hanging behind, showing his matured face. He was looking much of an young refined man, that gone through a period of struggles before reaching a great heights he was standing today.

" Old geeze... no young man, how did you manage to keep your sanity after becoming my slave. " loli asked out being puzzled.

Everytime she subdued her target, they would for sure lose their sanity like a brainless puppet or turn extremely obedient without muttering a single word until she, their master orders them to answer her questions.

But this intruder before her was not just able to keep his sanity but was also able to talk back equally as if he wasn't really influenced by her spell to begin with.

" Because this Arlong was born with special constitution, a constitution of souls "The saint's soul body!" " The brown haired man answered sighing out, " Ah this damn soul brand, made me reveal my core secret! " He bellowed out in anger, cursing him for reading out his secrets under her spell.

The little Loli, maid Liza, mysterious youth, old butler Melcrow and even Gilldart starred at the brown haired man before them expressionless, as if they were looking at some ghost to begin with, which was controlled by their soul brand, still had a freedom if it's own to think wisely.
