Weapon seller in the world of magic

”Before I went to sleep, I was sure that there was no 6-circle Spirit Warrior in the camp. And it is unlikely that such a weak dungeon break would attract powerful adventurers. Moreover, all the seven energy signatures are coming from the same place. They are likely to be enemies. But, that headless guy is in 7-circle. Is it a collective summoning or an equal contract?”

While Shang Wen was analyzing the strength of the opponents at a quick pace, the headless knight was back and rushed towards its target.

Instead of taking it head-on, he backed off and sprouted his flame wings before flying higher.

As the headless knight also followed him, he realized that he was the target.

Shang Wen didn’t take long to make his judgment and shouted at the panicked soldiers and adventurers as he evaded another attack, ”everyone, get back and protect yourselves. Wang Li, take charge. The enemies are in the 2 o’clock direction. No one below 4-circle will engage the target.”

Wang Li is a captain, who was considered the strongest 5-circle realm expert in the entire Southern troops. The second prince treats her like a brother and trusts her more than all the six Lieutenant generals under him.

So, he readily gave away the responsibility of leading a thousand soldiers while he gets busy with the headless knight.

Wang Li, who was in the battle mode, holding the weapon-Ji, addressed everyone, ”Those who are above 4-ci…”

She was just getting started but the enemies didn’t give her an opportunity to display any interim leadership.

The leader of the hooded group let out a smirk as he raised the staff. The tip gave a dark glow before a huge seal appeared before he and the skeletons rose from the ground. All of them have swords in their hands. In the midst of them, there are two armored skeletons on ghostly horses.

They rushed out of the darkness while collectively giving a piercing cry.

”Hmm…” Mark opened his eyes because of the noises around. His sleep was disturbed. ”What’s going on?”

Alina quickly answered, ”Big Brother, an ambush from unknown enemies. All of them are necromancers.”

”Necromancers? Here?” Mark got up from the mattress. He didn’t rush out readily and just asked, ”What realm is the strongest enemy?”

”Advanced-stage Seven-circle. It is a headless knight summoned from a group of seven, currently busy battling against the General of the South.” Alina didn’t hide anything.

Upon hearing everything, he finally got out of the tent only to see a mess out there. The adventurers are running away, the soldiers are fighting the skeletons with swords, and the weak ones were gathered and taken by a couple of captains to a safe location as per their General’s orders.

”Oh, boy, what kind of luck is this? Of all the days, an attack should happen on the night I stayed at this camp?” Mark complained to himself, feeling incredibly annoyed that his sleep was disturbed.

*Ding! Whether your 7 points of luck were triggered or the remaining 3 points of misfortune were triggered depends on the host’s actions.

”What do you mean?” Mark was confused by its sudden statement. Since the system communicated to him on its own, he realized that there was something that the system was hinting at.

As a response, the system gave him a notification.

*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest, Assist the Second Prince.

*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest, Capture the masterminds.

*Ding! You received an Emergency Quest, snatch the summoned being.

*Ding! Choose one of the quests.

”Hmm? Three Emergency Quests?” This was the first time Mark had ever received multiple emergency quests at the same time and was asked to choose one.

Emergency Quest-I: Assist the Second Prince

Description: Assist the Second prince to fend off the enemies in killing the Headless Knight.

Reward: Shang Wen’s affinity with the store increases by 2 levels.

*

Emergency Quest-II: Capture the masterminds.

Description: Capture the summoners and end the battle

Reward: Unknown (depends on the captured enemies)

*

Emergency Quest-III: Snatch the summoned being.

Description: Form a summoning contract with the headless knight after getting acknowledged by him.

Quest Item: Summoning Contract (Exclusive)

Reward: Lottery Wheel pick ticket (limited-7 days)

*

”Hmm, Due to the previous deal, the second prince’s affinity is already at level-1. Two more levels mean it will be level-3 and I get to unlock another exclusive weapon. However, if the prince started buying panzers and even higher-ranked weapons in the future, the affinity was bound to be increased naturally.

The second option is to capture the enemies that summoned this headless guy. But, it is easier to kill them than capturing. The reward is unknown but knowing the system, the reward will be good.

As for the third option, having this summoned being will increase my security even more but I have to shell out a lot to attain neutrality with it. Moreover, I already have 10 points of luck. A lottery pick ticket is unnecessary. It only reduces the time by a week.”

Mark weighed his options for a few moments and then, came to a decision. He went for the safest route. The one that has the least work but yields more results.

*Ding! Emergency Quest-I is accepted.

*Ding! Emergency Quest-II and Emergency Quest-III are automatically rejected.

”Alina, get ready to fly,” Mark proceeded to open the inventory and click on the image of the helicopter.

*Ding! Would you like to enter the vehicle or summon outside?

”Summon Alina as Pilot and me as Commander.”

Both of them disappeared, replaced by an attack helicopter.

As the rotor blades generated powerful winds to blow off the tents nearby, some of the soldiers who are retreating to the safe route glanced in the direction of the vehicle.

The Attack helicopter took off from the ground, attracting the attention of the second prince, the seven necromancers, and everyone else except for the skeletons and the headless knight.

Shang Wen let out a smile, ”somehow, it feels reassuring when this flying puppet is an ally. Maybe, it’s because of the person inside it, or maybe, it’s just its raw power.”

A few of them recognized it while a few of them were amazed. Captain Wang Li shouted as she slashed the blade at the ghostly horse of the death knight and injured it, ”Concentrate on the battlefield. Everyone, move…”

Meanwhile, the necromancers became nervous. One of the six followers, who were silent until now, opened his mouth, ”It resembles the same puppet that defeated Song Yun and Sui Rong. That means Cerberus Slayer is here. What do we do now, Lord He?”

He Jing, the peak-six-circle expert replied in a serious tone as he raised his staff once again, ”Go all out; bring out the wraiths. I’ll let the Lich King go on a rampage. Before the Headless knight vanquishes, we will annihilate everyone down below. And once our trump card is defeated, we will dismiss our summons and leave.”

Everyone nodded and started their incantations.

In about ten seconds, six of them summoned wraiths, which are undead creatures that are in the form of dark spirits. Each of them is as powerful as peak-rank-5 Spirit Warriors.

The remaining one, the leader summoned a being, who looks almost like the headless knight except that there was no horse and he had a skeleton that was covered by a platinum grade helmet.

Along with his broadsword, all of his other pieces of armor were also in platinum grade and his eyes were glowing in the darkness.
