Chapter 560 The Cross Mark (Part Two)

At the same instant, Darren, as he looked down at his chest, felt his heart thumped as if horses wereracing on his chest.

The weird clayed figurine was so powerful that Mathew and Hanson had to join forces and struck ittwice in full force before they could kill it.

All this time, Darren was aware why Hanson had been hunted all the time was because of this mark.Thus, thinking about it, Darren knew that his strength was much weaker compared to Hanson. Ifthings came to worst, how could he escape from the fate of being hunted down?

"Maybe it was just a coincidence. I think those creatures were after you because they sensed youraura, in the first place,” retorted Mathew as he analyzed the situation at hand.

"It's more likely that they've found and marked him because of me. But fortunately, the creature waskilled by us. Since this mark is not completed yet, it would not be easy for them to track Darrendown," added Hanson with a somewhat guilty tone.

The creatures from the Formidable Ghostdom lived in-between spaces, too. According to their ways,they had to mark their targets to track them.

"Sir, what should I do now?" asked Darren as he calmed down a little.

"Although you are only half marked, you are still too weak, and they can replace you with relative ease.If those creatures want to hunt you, you are not strong enough to resist all of them. It would bebetter if you stay in the Starry Tower until the avatar of the sword-eyed master descended again,”suggested Mathew with a serious expression.

"I have the same advice for you, Darren, and it would be safer if you stay at the tower for themeantime. By the way, we can give you a hand on practicing the two legendary martial skills. In thatway, you can enhance your strength as soon as possible. When our master comes back, we will askhim about his arrangement. What do you think?" asked Hanson with furrowed brows.

"But if I stay inside the tower, what shall we do with the hundreds of millions of humans outside?They can't resist the mutants,” asked Darren.

As of the moment, while he was weighing things out, Darren was caught in a dilemma. On the onehand, he was a cultivator of the Grand Realm, who was capable of dealing with the mutants andhelping human beings outside. On the other hand, he was a prisoner of an unwanted mark piercedthrough him by some formidable creatures. At the thought of it, he was afraid that he might bemarked by something very horrible. If he were caught the moment he got out of the tower, hewould be doomed.

It was not easy for him to gain strength in the shortest time possible, but he had the faith that sucha thing happened. All these considerations and mayhems caused quite a headache for Darren.

But right now, considering Darren's problem about the human beings invaded by the mutants,Mathew and Hanson could do nothing about it. The Starry Tower was in between the spaces. Thus,they couldn't attack the mutants in the outside world. In other words, they couldn't help Darrensave humans in the outside world.

"Before the master comes back, you have to stay here.

But I think I have a way to rescue the human race outside. Are you familiar with the inheritance skillof the Dragon Blood Clan?"

Mathew asked Darren as if he remembered something.

"Yes, I am familiar with the inheritance skill of the Dragon Blood Clan. I can have eight avatars ifthat's what you mean," Darren answered immediately, with his eyes opened wide.

"All right. If that's the case, I will make a real avatar for you to resist those mutants for the timebeing. The avatar will buy you some time until you can get out and vanquish them once and for all,"Mathew exclaimed.

"A real avatar?" Darren asked confusedly, as if he just heard of it for the first time.

"Yes, the method of crafting a real avatar was initially prepared for me by my master before. If youweren't able to take my body back then, he would have used his arcane skill to make an avatar forme. However, the avatar's strength would be weaker than the real you, and the avatar couldn'tcultivate and improve his strength on his own, which was a big disadvantage,” explained Mathew.He was laying the best possible options for Darren.

"Anyway, that would be better than doing nothing. What do I need to do?" Darren replied withouthesitation.

"I want you to summon your avatars. When you do that, I'll just grab one of them," instructedMathew.

Taking heed to Mathew's instructions, Darren used the Blood Dragon Phantom and generatedseveral avatars at once.

Carefully checking on each avatar, Mathew casually took one and disappeared from there to startwith crafting the real, tangible avatar for Darren.

"Well, take it easy for now, Darren. The avatar that my elder brother is going to make for you shouldbe no less than the six-star grand warrior in terms of strength. After that, you can give your armorand the divine weapons of the sword and blade to that avatar. Although your tangible avatar can'tkill the strongest mutants, you can still protect the human race in the best possible way that youcan," assured Hanson. "Now, you should focus on practicing the martial arts skills gifted by yourmaster and try to reach at least a level that is slightly stronger than an ordinary seven-star grandwarrior as soon as possible.

After you get out, nobody from the side of those mutants can challenge you. Come with me now soI can help you with your practice,” continued Hanson. He was determined to help Darren advance inhis cultivation. As much and as fast as possible, he wanted Darren to achieve his goal.

"Yes, sir." With his spirits being lifted at the moment, Darren nodded at Hanson and followed him.After what had happened to him in the hands of that tiny creature, Darren was even moredetermined to accelerate his cultivation base. Never again would he allow other creatures totrample and trounce on him like that.
