One day later.Underground cave, few hundred miles away from destroyed mountain range.
Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop!
In a dark underground cave, lightened by a hanging oil lamp, a rhythmic chopping sound was reverberating within.
Underneath the glow of hanging oil lamp, a heavily bandaged person lying over a inscribed stone platform could be spotted.
Many foot sized needle were struck on his body, with several connecting threads, which made a intermesh of a circuit over his body.
Whoos.h.!.+~~~ Whoos.h.!.+~~~ Whoos.h.!.+~~~
Small dots of green mana were running through these threads, connected to the inscription at the below, and at sometimes enters the body of this bandaged person fusing into him as one.
On closer examination the body started producing dull sluggish movements shortly following which a defensive " Ah! "was made by this fellow, which made the chopping sound to halt.
" Aahhh!~~~~~ "
All of a sudden, Mark who was bandaged got back his conscious and stood in a guard up position.
The circuit of threads and needles got severed, few popped out his body while some penetrated deep within, making his body to cry out in howls of agony.
" f.u.c.k! It hurts...! Ah!!!!~~~~ "
He tried circulating his mana to subside the pain within, but a heavy backslash from the circulating green dots. .h.i.t him, which made Mark to fall back to the same defenseless position as earlier.
Unknown ceiling, sharp objects being penetrated into his body, a strange flow of foreign energy into him, and on top of it a nerve wreaking pain which was aiming to crumble him to death
All mark could possibly interpret at this situation was the word "captured".
He got caught by a mysterious organisation, and they started experimenting on him, presumably trying to turn him to that half mutant monster or silver skinned variant he feared about.
Aahhh!~~~~
Again that same deafening roar was made by him with a rest less body that seems to struggle heavy against the new inflow of energy, which was influencing his body.
All of a sudden an unknown silhouette thrown her chopping knife to a side and started running towards Mark at a high pace.
" No! This should not be stopped! This... he mustn"t stop the energy inflow or else he"ll... ! "
All of a sudden, a young lady dresses in old fas.h.i.+oned blue robes was spotted next to him.
She had covered her face with a white veil barley revealing her clear eye candy eyes, which were showing a bit of concern towards his struggling self.
Though mark couldn"t see her face, judging by her slim curvy figure which was flaw less he could atleast discern that she was a beauty and a top notch on top of it.
Unfazed by her attractive pair of eyes, mark continued struggling against her aura as she was emitting the same green mana which he was struggling against.
" Wait! Don"t move around! You are dying at this rate! "
In a concerning tone, she let out her delicate voice which was quite an allure to his ears.
If it was for an other weak willed person, he would long since had been bewitched to her, but mark was a different case as she started struggling more after it.
"The more beautiful a woman is the more dangerous she might actually be! And the more bewitching she was, the more toxic she may be on the other hand!"
It was one of a quote which Mark believes firmly.
And in the struggle to resist, he shook off her grasp and inflicted a couple of small injuries to her arms and shoulders which then started bleeding soaking her sleeves red.
Unconcerned about her bleeding, she forced her self above him, grabbing his struggling hands only to get hit again which changed the air around her.
Slap!
In a moment of struggle Mark"s hand had unintentionally slapped her bright cheek, following which she was tossed aside to the wall making a deep groove within, which caused the cave to tremble for a couple seconds.
A few seconds of silence, the dust settled down, but following which the lady jumped abruptly over him in a flash red, trying to restrict his movements, so as to allow her energy to enter his little body.
Slap!
She returned a slap to his face, as if she was ordering him to stay still.
She then strangled his arms with her"s, while her knees had long since broke apart the bones in marks legs, in an attempt to immobilize him to that place.
" Ah!~~~ "
Mark tried struggling against her, but not to avail as he was poked by her fingers multiple times at multiple locations which had paralysed the whole of his body as a whole.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
As if she was possessed by her inner demon, the hair of her started dancing wildly, shortly following it, each of the hair strand started plucking out the needles, before shortly penetrating it deep into his body with an overwhelming release of aura which pressured him.
Whoos.h.!.+~~~~
A large stream of mana flowed into his body, shortly following which he lost his consciousness like before, unable to see the aftermath his body had gone through.
But before he gone asleep, the heavy aura over her had given him an oppressive feeling, more of an intimidating one which was more frightening that the half mutants he had fought before.
Mark had some how started reasoning at the last second, and thought of the possibility where she might actually be nurturing him at that precise moment, and felt a bit guilty for slapping her unintentionally, earlier.
" Well, let"s apologise if it were the case... "
These were the last words of him before which the consciousness of him had been knocked out by her.
One hour later.
Mark got back his conscious and found that his bandages have been changed. The earlier pain running through his body was long gone.
But the thing which startled him the most was his upgrade in refinement stage!
He was dumbfounded after discovering his change, but recollecting the fact that 20 half mutants of emperor cla.s.s had been killed leaving behind a chunk of experience, so leveling up was not a thing to be frowned about.
But still he could help but feel a thing ama.s.s, as those 20 half mutants by themselves were not enough of a deal to pump up a whole of refinement stage by themselves.
It was as if an external power had acted a catalyst and boosted the remaining RP to raise his level to 5th stage.
In other words, Mark could exert the strength of an aura emperor, even without the help of external skills that had an adverse effects of their own.
He mark could now fight the half mutants as equals.
When he was extremely excited about his new breakthrough, Mark found the young lady to be sweat ridden, extremely tired, and was lying down unconscious besides him in a weakened state.
" Miss lady... "
Mark had no words to express his gratefulness towards her, but at the same time, thinking of the stubborn him who had inflicted injury over her, he felt a bit guilty and words stopped comming out his mouth.
Gulp!
Looking at her sweat ridden cloths which almost revealed her pink inners, Mark couldn"t help but gulp down in embarra.s.sment.
Her white veil was removed from her covered face, revealing a dazzling beauty which made his eyes widen in surprise.
" Since when did I start l.u.s.ting after beauty?"
He was naturally attracted to her aura, it was more of a felling which hinted him as if they were naturally compatible to each other!
" Umm... "
Mark wanted to wake her up to apologize but, looking at the sleeping beauty before his eyes, which looked extremely charming, he couldn"t help but want to caress her chin with his bare fingers.
Upon contact, strange wave of green mana entered his body which made him which made him feel better and want to caress her more.
" s.h.i.+t! What had became of me? "
Looking at his fingers which had finished teasing with her face and reached down to her bosom, Mark shook his hands off her body only to find it more hard to retract it back.
Her sweaty robes were half way unb.u.t.toned shortly following which Mark regained his control over his fingers to retract back his hand in haste.
" d.a.m.n her aura! She"s dangerous! "
" I better hurry out from this place, I am getting a bad feeling by staying next to her! "
Contemplating himself internally mark readied to move out the cave, but upon looking at her injured arms and shoulders which looked ugly, Mark had an urge from within to heal her and make her arms as smooth as what it originally was.
Laying his arms over her shoulders, Mark slid his pure golden mana into her body, trying to revitalize her from inside to repay a bit of the grat.i.tude he owed her.
Though he thought of the possibility of his hands for going crazy as earlier, he answered the problem with words " traverse away " if it were to occur.
The process went smooth until her surface wounds were healed, shortly following which her body acted as a giant vortex which sucked his mana like a blood thirsty vampire.
One minute later.
The h.e.l.l! She"s a bottomless pit, the more I try inputting my mana, the more intense is her body"s hunger!
She is madly devouring my mana as if there"s no end to it.
Mark slowed down a bit, before circulating his "Boundless Impetus" only to find a intense sucking of gathered mana which was absorbed by the lady unceasingly.
All of a sudden she was awakened by this surge of mana only to find herself half unrobed with her bosom exposed with a messy inner garment.
She stated panicking and stared at the seated one before who had placed his arms above his shoulders, which gave her a sense of danger from this person and want to escape and far away from him if possible.
Strings of mana had started appearing between them which started to multiply in number with growing thickness.
The second the phenomenon took place both Mark and the blue robed lady were robbed of their mobility with an unknown fate that awaited them.
d.a.m.n! Traversing, it"s not working! And she"s awake... doesn"t this mean she"s going to experience my healing for real? "
" Hope she doesn"t take offense for it! "
Mark frowned internally, thinking of the last time when he had used this technique on a specific person who almost aimed for his life.
