Weapon seller in the world of magic

Mark’s first thoughts were to capture one of them for the information on the Ixitus Empire, the place that shelters the experts who managed to summon Mari from the earth.

If he can go there and find out how they did it, perhaps, he can find a way back to his homeland.

The peak potion lasts for five minutes and he was confident about finishing them within a minute. The remaining four minutes are enough to interrogate a person.

But, then, upon remembering how much loss he just experienced from their ambush, adding to the fact that he escaped death narrowly once again due to the zheng’s timely act, Mark’s blood boiled in anger.

He decided to not spare even one of them and give them any chance to escape. He can find out the information from Mari/Zan Rong once her memories returned anyway.

Hence, Mark acted right away with his eyes fixed on the leader, who was standing way above the group. ”Thunderblast, activate.”

Meanwhile, the experts become alert as they saw Mark raise his hand while flying toward them, indicating that he was going to attack.

They couldn’t sense his cultivation realm but were confident to take on even a Demigod as long as he is below the intermediate stage and they were staying together in their special formation. The five of them formed a pentagon with the sixth person in the center while the remaining one stood above them.

Little did they expect that the leader would receive their karma too quickly.

As they were monitoring the situation on the battlefield from the sky, they realized that the modern weapon possessed by Mark was incredibly dangerous.

If they had knowledge of the Missile Defense system, the leader of the group would have tried to steal it. However, the fact that it is mysterious made him decide that they will destroy it altogether.

Of course, the zheng was troublesome for them and they cannot afford to fight it. Considering how it protected Mark, they used their fusion skill, the yellow lightning to ambush it together with Mark.

They intended to harm atleast one of them but luckily, the zheng was injured and the weapon was destroyed.

Unfortunately, their luck didn’t last for long.

They ambushed the enemies with yellow lightning strikes and in return, their remaining enemy now ambushed the strongest of them using the same method, the sudden strike of lightning.

*rumble*

As a red lightning bolt descended from the heavens and struck their leader without any warning, turning the peak-stage Supreme realm expert into ashes, everyone’s expressions were frozen immediately.

Mark didn’t stop there. After expending 50% of his ether energy, he proceeded to unleash his first bloodline skill, Absolute freezing, in mid-air.

In just an instant, his entire five-kilometer radius was frozen up in ice while only 100 million ether points were consumed in the process.

For the Emperor and others who were only observing it from the campsite, it appeared as if a huge iceberg formed in the place where the lava golem was once located. And six frozen statues were placed on top of that iceberg.

As the bonus effect of the Absolute freezing, the temperature felt by the frozen elves dropped down to -210 degree Celsius, just -9 degrees away from the freezing point of oxygen. If they had been humans, no matter how strong they are, they would have died by now.

However, the superior dark elf race had more resistance to cold and hot temperatures naturally. Some of them were feeling shortness of breath but none of them have yet to face death.

While they are also trying their best to get free from the frozen state, Mark didn’t sit still either. He landed on the top of the flat surface of the iceberg and made his next move.

”Activate, Lightning clone.”

The lightning clone was summoned on top of the iceberg. With the power of a peak stage Demigod, it didn’t take five seconds for the clones to behead all the elves along with their hoodies.

Once they were dead, Mark dismissed the clone in order to save his ether energy, and then, flapped his wings to fly around to look for the opponents who were still alive.

Since he had several minutes left, Mark didn’t want to waste the opportunity and search for the prey. However, his efforts became fruitless, not being able to find even one of them during the five minutes.

As for Yan Hai, he long fled from the battlefield as soon as he witnessed the power of a red lightning bolt, which appeared to be something that he cannot afford to go against.

Roughly, after 30 minutes, the iceberg disappeared and the headless corpses fell to the ground. Until then, Mark was guarding them, wearing his suit once again with his peak powers gone.

Once they were available to search, Mark searched their pockets to find the storage rings. After looting them, he ignored the dead bodies and flew toward the camp where the Emperor and his aides were waiting for him with various expressions. Some of them like the experts from Mt. Hua sect had a trace of fear on their faces; some of them like the soldiers had a look of admiration; the Emperor was smiling big; while Song Tai and others like the second prince and Yuan Meili were astonished.

While Mark ventured into the battlefield, the soldiers at the campsite continuously kept an eye on the lava golem through the telescopes.

They didn’t get to see Lan Ju or his beast’s appearance anywhere due to the high-speed battles but they sure witnessed the lava golem being destroyed by ether missiles, followed by Mark killing an enemy with a powerful red lightning bolt and then freezing the others using bloodline skill.

Each of them had a separate reaction as the Eastern General reported the results of the battle to the Emperor but whatever the case, Mark had brought the fire seed with him and that is enough for the Emperor and the second prince to not question anything about the new weapon or his skills.

And Mark’s reclusive attitude displayed during the past three days also made it harder for the others to speak to him properly.

Fortunately, Song Tai couldn’t sense the cultivation realms of the dark elves. Or else, everyone else would have feared Mark so much that they would shiver in his mere presence.

Anyways, as soon as he reached the campsite, Mark asked for a private meeting with the Emperor and his son.

Soon, except for Shang Fu, Shang Wen, Mark, and Allen, the others left the Emperor’s tent.

”It would be nice if Venerable Wu had come along with you. I thought of inviting the both of you to the palace for a grand feast,” said the Emperor as he took the seat. Mark had earlier lied to everyone that his companion, Wu Weibao (Lan Ju), left as soon as his work is done and didn’t return with him. Hence, Emperor Shang thought that it was a pity to not be able to invite such an expert.

Mark responded to the Emperor’s words by bringing up a different topic in a serious tone, ”Let’s come to the matter directly, Your Majesty. In the process of obtaining the fire seed for you, I lost a crystal grade, I mean, in your terms, a semi-divine grade weapon; I had to use up my life-saving potion to face those dark elves from another world that you failed to mention.

However, I’m not shameless to compensate for all of my losses. Before I hand over your item, I need you to pay the repair fees for the Missile Defense system so that I can send it back to my manufacturer. It will cost 2 million gold coins and I don’t want to bear such huge expenses. I hope you understand the reasoning behind my demand.”

Mark lost 1.1 million gold coins because of the ambush and he decided to cash in the opportunity, extracting more money from his biological father. If the latter can pay more than 25 million gold coins, then, 2 million shouldn’t be a problem for him. Hence, Mark will rob him for sure.

On the other hand, Shang Fu and Shang Wen were taken aback by the information they got from Mark.

”The Dark elves from another world?” Shang Wen looked at his father. ”Your Majesty, you know anything about it?”

Shang Fu also shook his head, ”I know that a few tribes of elves were still living in the Beast Empire but never heard of dark elves.”

Both of them could only ask Mark for an explanation. However, unfortunately, he doesn’t have any idea about them. But, since he already opened the topic, he tried his best to answer them, ”All I know is that those dark elves are from Ixitus Empire. It would also be helpful to me if you can find something about it.”

”I have never heard of the Ixitus Empire but I will ask Shang Bo to enquire with the ancient sects of the Dragon Empire. They might know something about it,” replied the Emperor before adding as an afterthought, ”Oh, by the way, those 2 million gold coins, you will get it. Don’t worry about it. I can do that much for you.”

Mark nodded with a smile, ”thank you.”

The Emperor then said, ”General Wen will come to your store in two days to collect his order with a new one from the Imperial Palace. I will send the compensation to him. In the meantime, I hope you will honor the deal from your end.”

Mark responded with a proposition in return, ”Your Majesty, how about I just sell the lava golem’s remains along with the fire seed? We can negotiate the price for the package deal.”

”Hmm?” ”Hmm?”

Shang Fu and Shang Wen stared at him.
