Mark exited the cave in haste and started searching for Wendy, in all directions.
One minute later.
" Boss!!~~~~ "
Sensing the presence of Mark near her, Wendy cried out loud, trying to gathering his attention to set her free.
Right now Wendy was caged inside a cave, imposed with heavy restrictions which prevented her healing!
She almost was stripped naked with multiple cuts over her body, and the unhealing wounds over her skin were left open making her look pitiful with them!
Multiple bronze pikes of finger width with encrypted runes were plunged through her body, barely leaving any visible skin on the outside, which depicted her current situation.
By Elvenscene's grace, the beautiful face of her was spared, just so that she could answer back her question to get Intel on Mark.
Boom!
Mark broke the steel walls which covered the cave!
The insides were extremely dark, and Mark couldn't help but radiate his mana to get a clear picture in the darkness.
Golden waves of his aura was released out, revealing a familiar figure inside the cave who he earlier was searching for.
This familiar figure lifted her head gradually with pitiful eyes, which glances at Mark to free her!
Wendy's sight had made his body stiff and goosebumps had almost popped insude his head, making him frightened for the second!
" Wendy...!! "
Mark was given a huge fright by glancing at her body, which seemed to have gone through a lot.
Other than her pretty face, rest of her body was not spared which showed the cruelty Elvenscene had gone to get out his information.
One after the other Mark plucked the pikes out her body and started freeing her from the restrictions.
The wounds which earlier were left open had started to heal, and smooth skin of Wendy has once again grown over her body, making her look better.
Wendy almost lost her footing and slipped over him in a weakened state.
Mark had instantly grabbed her falling self, only to find her sobbing with never ending tears that made him feel pity for her, who seemed to have endured a lot because of the mistake he did before.
" Boss, wu... wu... That devil bitch, she used space time illusion and made me suffer a years within, and finally when I resisted still... she... she... "
Mark didn't had any need to hear about this as he already could imagine what events happened following it.
Mark held her tight in arms, gently caressed her back to console Wendy, which was the only thing he at present could do!
At first, Wendy was quite startled by Mark's consoling. It was as if a source of electricity passed through her in the moment of contact, which she want to feel again as it felt pleasant and comforting!
As time passed by she started feeling the gradual warmth of Mark and hoped for him to stay longer and console her lonely soul.
She then slid her arms to his back, and grabbed him tight as if she doesn't want this moment to end shorter.
Mark didn't protest this as he himself couldn't bring to imagine, what it would be like to face hell in space time array for an year!
1 hour later.
And after a long wait of an hour, she slowly loosened her grip and looked at Mark with an innocent smile which made him blush out red.
Cough!
He then made a dry cough to get out the awkward situation and gave her a set of robes, to cover her exposed body.
She them gradually dressed back, looked like the same old Wendy he knew.
Wendy then slowly explained about the matters which took place at his absence.
The weak and frail girl which he originally thought to have implicated in his matters turned out to be an important figure head, an important princess with firm backing!
Princess was safely escorted back to warlords palace by Wendy and was immediately kept under the care of Cela to recuperate her!
At the same time a small conflict in misunderstanding had nearly taken the life of an innocent, which was caused by his dumb family guards.
Mark was surprised to hear that Milton executives had came searching for him, but after knowing that they had started attacking a cardinal for mistaking him as a demonic master, he couldn't help but laugh at those conceited fools!
They actually dared to call a holy church cardinal a demon! What more can be funny for our Mark.
Good thing that Wendy had timely intervened in the middle, and with the identity of a princess next to her, the misunderstanding was easily resolved.
After the matters were settled down, Wendy along with others started searching for him!
While she entered deep inside the forest by following the battle traces, she seemed to have been caught in the hands of Elvenscene, who then tortured her to extract his information.
For an entire period of year in space time array!
Wendy had endured to not give in, but the torture methods to Elvenscene had no limits, finally made the undead like Wendy to cry out in pains to answer questions!
All of a sudden, Wendy asked for Mark to step out the cave, shortly following which she chanted a short incantations to summon a grey mist which filled the surroundings.
In matter of seconds the mist dissipated, and an army of undead each with an aura of initial order aura king in the least had marched out!
2000 initial order aura kings, 400 middle order aura king, 100 high order aura king with fifteen peak order experts had made Mark to give an satisfactory smile with his thumb's up, making the recovered self of Wendy to chuckle a bit.
Wendy had almost turned the entirely of Gazil's base into her undead army.
Wendy then flown to sky with him, gazed the undead with a proud smile which revealed her inner satisfaction by revealing her undead to Mark!
" Boss! This is just an appetizer before the main event! "
She then paused for a second, repeated the same incantations to summon a much thicker mist from which twenty two strong undead with powerful auras were revealed out.
" Fuck! Aren't those the half mutants I fought before? And the one at the center... isn't he the ambitious Gazil I've killed! Why's he headless? "
Looking at the new batch of undead which were revealed, Mark almost held her tight in happiness as he had stronger undead now!
But after closer examination, he was a bit disappointment as the half mutants had turned weaker than before.
Their realm was demoted, but still they managed to keep half step emperor's cultivation, which was still a high existence in the current world.
Wendy by herself had given him a huge shock as she made a breakthrough twice in a row, reaching middle order aura emperor who can overpower him.
Looking at Mark, who seemed to be surprised about her cultivation levels, Wendy gave a chuckle and explained.
" Undead queen have a different set of cultivation practices! "
" When sufficient number of strong undead are created in my inner realm, my cultivation will automatically soar high without the need of conventional means that take a life time to achieve supremacy! "
Mark once again was startled, and felt like taking in Wendy as his servant was indeed a wise choice, as she might help him to complete his mission much faster than by himself!
" Haha! Seems like I need to depend on you much, Wendy! "
Patting on her head lightly, Mark laughed loud while looking at his undead army which could easily decimate a local powers just with a mere unit of his soldiers!
Mark then asked her to desummom undead and escort him out this forest so that he could intercept with the Milton guards of his at western warlords palace.
Wendy gave a silent nod, but a silent blush from her face missed his sight as he had started formulating his next step to overthrow half mutants.
" Boss! If only I were... human... would you... " Wendy muttered it internally with a complex face before desummoning her army to escort him out the forest.
#######
Three hours later.
Western warlords palace, Aaron's mansion.
Mark walked through the outer halls of Aaron mansion, which now was renovated and appeared as good as new.
Climbing up the stairs, and later waking through the main corridor, Mark entered the main hall where powerhouses of central warlords palace with Milton executives were waiting for him.
Right when the innocent looking baby face of Mark entered their eyes, the flying dragon unit were startled and remained still in standing, as if what appeared before them was a grand illusion to cheat their eyes.
They could not help but doubt their eyes cause an younger version of their respected person was present before them.
Mark appeared identical to child version of that terrifying Milton old timer, who had deep rooted the term called fear and respect in souls.
For them the existence of him was sacred and he Mark was his sole heir who was going to experience the same glory as his old man once had!
" Young master! Young master! "
With eyes which were glittering bright and filled with emotions, the executives cried out his name in excitement and knelt down to floor simultaneously to honour mark.
With a single glance the members of flying dragon unit were able to discern him.
It was as if their old master directly walking towards them in the form of a young kid.
Doesn't know the reason why but looking at Mark they felt an unparelled sense of submission, an irresistible force which was forcing them to make a kneel.
While some were exhilarated by Mark's existence, few had secretly cursed him at the behind, as they had some reasoning of their own.
All of a sudden, Mark felt a sensed a trace of malicious aura directed towards him.
Seems like the warlords palace had pretty much hated him to core.
They believed the root cause for their western branch annihilation was Mark.
And the ones invading them would be his enemies, leaving behind the innocent ones which were implicated to death by his matters.
Mark could pretty much guess their intent, and couldn't help but laugh internally as they were too conceited to be explained.
The world was about to face an apocalyptic level destruction, and he Mark was lucky enough to find it ahead of time.
Capturing him and princess doesn't seems to be their prime goal, much less their branchs' destruction which could be implicated on them.
The appearance of Gazil, the onset of destructive undead curse, the appearance of a superpower which abducted Rudia, and kidnapping of Xena to bait him out!
All of them seemed out of order, unrelated entirely to the existence of base 59.
But the presence of an powerful existence, more of a superpower which seems to be at odds against half mutant, the situation seems to explain every thing!
His instincts were telling him that Mark and Xena weren't the sole group of target by Gazil.
It seems as if they were targeted when the main target of them had escaped out!
When the abyss demon had transformed out of Senyou's corpse, Mark became suspicious about Rudia's past.
And when a super power abducted her, Mark was sure that the matters weren't as simple as what he originally thought it to be.
And the status of Rudia might not merely be a maid as she was assigned for!
Going through all his reasoning, Mark felt a bit wronged at this point, cause he became the space goat to bear the responsibility of other parties power struggle.
Comming back to the present, the executives of Milton had knelt before him with several waves of emotion gushing out through Rey's eyes!
Daniel was very much dumbfounded just by looking at him.
" No it's not possible! As far as I know old master didn't had a male heir nor had affairs! "
He started getting more suspicious of Mark's identity, as if he had popped out immediately the day their old master disappeared in the war.
" In the long course of his youth full days, old master had broken hearts of countless maidens, yet he hadn't fancied a second woman next to his wife!
Yet a male offspring of him popped before me in such a suspicious way when old master went missing? "
He paused for a second and got a strange idea which made his eyes widen out with anger.
" Don't tell me... He's an imposter! But he seems too real to be a fake, should I test the validation of this matter? "
Daniel feel a sense of unrest dwelling in his heart which he no longer could subside.
All of a sudden Daniel stood abruptly and dashed towards Mark bellowing crazily which startled the ones around him.
" Prove yourself worthy of master's heir! "
He drawn his sword and swung it wide without holding back.
" Peak aura king! "
Mark instantly judged the powers of Daniel which he revealed out.
" If I Mark were of the past, wouldn't I get sliced under his blow? "
Mark was heavily dissatisfied with this guard.
He took a step forward and directly grabbed the sword of Daniel domineeringly, resulting in a explosion which almost blew the room.
Resonance!
The second Daniels' treasured sword contacted his palm, an explosion took place and the sword broke into several fragments that got stabbed back to its owner's body.
Boom!
Rey was almost frightened to death, looking at Daniel who had straight out drawn his blade towards Mark with all his powers.
A Nobel heir of a peak existence was assaulted right before their eyes!
People of Warlords palace were frightened to death, cause they might be implicated in these matters.
And if that Nobel young master of Milton died in their territory, they very much know the fate written on their heads
"Death!"
Within seconds the smoke covering the scene was dissipated and Mark grabbing the neck of Daniel was seen.
Whoosh!
In an extremely domineering way Mark released his aura which made the audience around cry out under his unbearable pressure.
Regardless of their cultivation, all knelt to ground and almost kissed the floor on their chests, unable to lift their ugly faces for thinking him a normal kid!
" Damn...! His cultivation... State of Supreme! No... it's aura emperor realm! "
An anxious one among the crowd cried out in pain, unable to fathom the existence of an early teen aura emperor, that took care of a seventh stage spirit saint as if he amounts to nothing.
With disappointment in eyes, Mark questioned casually which startled them.
" How unruly! Was i a weak kid wouldn't your surprise attack killed me by now? What's your intentions? Are you trying to rebel? "
Daniel who's life was now in the grasp of Mark's palm glared doubtfully at his eyes, before questioning.
" How could I believe your existence? What if an imposter is really trying infiltrate My Milton?
Unless you give me a satisfactory answer I Daniel can't acknowledged your existence and betray the family! "
looking at him that seemed patriotic, the executives of flying dragon unit had almost puked in response.
"Since when did he learnt to act as such?"
Mark drawn out a shining gold token which very much was recognized by Daniel but still he was reluctant to acknowledge his identity as if he had stolen it from the corpse of his old teacher.
" What if it's stolen? "
Looking at the stubborn him Mark tossed him to floor and exclaimed
" Well if you want to believe or don't want to, I am least cared about it, if I am not wrong wouldn't the house have their own means to test it out? "
" And why do I need to give an explanation to an conceited idiot that couldn't even discern the person of holy church? "
Listening to mark, Cela and rule who were standing at a side were chuckling loud which made Daniel embarrass with no face to argue against him.
All of about sudden, Wendy caught his sleeve and dragged him out the hall only to exclaim
" Boss I have something important to say! "
Looking at her seriousness, Mark couldn't help but listen out to her, as she wouldn't simply drag him out the hall for nothing!
