*Ding! You triggered an emergency quest, Save everyone from mind control

Quest: Save everyone from mind control

Description: Mage Vexiron released his possession of Queen Elowen after she was trapped in his cursed diamond. However, her mind was still being controlled by the effects of the curse. Zan Rong and everyone who was captured by the diamond was also forced to become a part of the storyline created by Vexiron. Remove the influence of the curse from their mind by applying purification stones on each of them or completing the storyline.

Reward: Upgrade crystal (normal).

”Eh? Mind control? That means all these people weren’t illusions but real? No wonder the system said that I could use all of its functions,” Mark’s face turned pale as certain memories popped up in his mind. ”So, I have been fuc*ing this blonde for real, all this time? And I almost raped the princess?”

More than the fact that he lost the virginity of his current body and how he had it with the woman so many times in a row, he was disturbed by the act he was going to commit a while ago. He was okay with killing people but not this.

Meanwhile, Sylvandria covered Elowen’s body with a carpet lying on the floor as the latter clothes were ripped off. After freeing her from the energy rope, she took her to the bedroom and provided her with clothes.

Closing the door, she walked toward Mark with heavy steps. Her expression looked quite serious.

”You freed yourself long ago, weren’t you?” She asked while clenching her fist tightly. Before Mark replied to it, she further said, ”Don’t try to feign ignorance. I could see when one’s mind is being controlled by someone or something. As far as I remember, you are the only one without the halo of foreign energy above your head.”

As Mark was still in shock, his mind didn’t try to think about what she explained and merely nodded to her question, ”Yes, I was never mind controlled.”

”And you still… still… committed all those… those… things to me.” She pointed her trembling finger at him. Her voice was also shaking as those embarrassing memories came to her mind.

Mark snapped at her accusation right away, ”First of all, whenever we had sex, it was initiated by you, not me. Secondly, I was affected by the deadly sins of lust, pride, and greed. Or else, why would I want to enjoy the body of an old woman like you?” He could admit being a little bit of guilt for his earlier actions to the queen but Sylvandria is completely another thing.”

”Old? you… you… you fiend…” Sylvandria couldn’t help but lose her composure. In the mixture of frustration, helplessness, and embarrassment, tears filled up in her eyes. ”You defiled me, you broke my centuries of oath of celibacy, and now you dare to put it on me? I was under mind control. You are not.” She roared at him in anger. The divine energy erupted from her and attacked him in the form of a laser beam.

This time, Mark wasn’t caught off guard. He timely reacted by activating a skill through voice mode. ”System, activate Metal Armor.”

From face to toe, his skin instantly turned into steel, and increased his defense and strength to more than 11 points for the next ten minutes, blocking her attack and taking her by surprise.

Staring coldly at the surprised high priestess, Mark spoke, ”Sylvandria, I will say once again. Whatever transpired during the past few days was out of my control. If you don’t want to believe my words, then, you can go your way and I will go my way. And also, this is the last time I’m going to ignore your preposterous actions against me.”

”You don’t have an ounce of a quality that a hero has,” commented the High Priestess as she took a step back in a slight bit of fear.

In response, Mark shrugged his shoulders, ”I never claimed to be one and I don’t believe in such prophecy bullshit.”

Sylvandria stared at him in silence. Mark stared back at her as if he was asking what she wanted now.

After ten seconds of staring contest, she opened her mouth, speaking in a firm tone, ”Regardless of whether you were influenced by deadly sins or not, you defiled me of your own will. Because of your actions, not only my oath has been broken but it was also done without my own will. Take responsibility for your actions and become my husband as you are right now. Or, kill me with your own hands and give freedom to my soul right now.”

”Taking responsibility? Husband? Or kill you? Stop bullshitting around,” Mark scoffed at her statement, not taking her seriously. He further added, ”What will you do if I refuse to do either?”

As if Sylvandria expected such a response from him, her facial expression didn’t change a bit and she replied without a moment of waiting, ”If you do neither, I will hunt you and your loved ones as long as I live and will continue to haunt them as the ghost as long as they live.”

”Ho, you will hunt down my loved ones? You must really forgetti…” Mark’s facial expression became cold once again and he clenched his fist. He was about to attack her but the notification from the system stopped him from proceeding further.

”Okay, I accept,” Mark changed his words in the middle of his statement as soon as he saw the quest pop up before his eyes. However, it wasn’t without conditions either.

He further said, ”But, I already have two fiancées waiting for me to marry them. Your number will come after them. And if you have to marry me, you have to sacrifice your homeland forever and follow me to mine, swearing allegiance to me. Even after marriage, you shall not expect any love from me for my heart was already occupied by someone. Until then, you shall act as my subordinate or an ally or maybe a friend, whatever you want; but nothing more than that.”

Sylvandria didn’t bother to digest all of those conditions and simply nodded her head, ”Fine, I agree. It doesn’t matter what the conditions are. As long as my soul doesn’t get tainted, I’m happy with everything.”

After a while;

Mark pressed the yellow-colored glowing stone onto the forehead of Elowen.

In an instant, the mind control on her was dispelled and she was brought to her senses.

Fortunately, due to her low cultivation realm, Elowen remembered nothing when she was being mind-controlled. In fact, the last thing she remembered was when she was walking through the tunnels below the Royal city of Sasa Allanor.

Hence, with Sylvandria’s cooperation, it became easier for Mark to hide the embarrassing truth and make her cooperate with them in completing the storyline.

As various factions were planning to launch a civil war, Mark and Sylvandria returned to the Royal castle along with the princess before she gathered the citizens living in fear and announced that the dead royal elves were planning on betraying her as she planned on abolishing the monarchy. Elowen claimed that she did it to remove the traitors.

Mark then spent the whole month eliminating the corrupted elves, negotiating with the Dark Elves and all other dissatisfied rebel factions to create a country that would be run by democracy. Meanwhile, the monarch will merely be the head of the state with limited veto powers.

Obviously, some didn’t accept such a thing, and Mark didn’t hesitate to eliminate their entire factory in secret, giving the rest of the factions a firm message.

With everyone getting what they want, peace was established quicker than Mark or Vexiron expected, ending the storyline.

Until the end, Mark couldn’t find where Zan Rong was, but once it was over, the world disappeared on its own, and hundreds of them appeared in something like an endless white room at the same time while Mark received the reward for completing the quest.

There, they saw the green monster (Vexiron) floating in the air and busy meditating.

Until a while ago, he was absorbing dark energy from the battles occurring in the storyline created by the world. Once it was cut off, he was forced to open his eyes and saw Mark along with the rest of the confused bunch.

Rage took over Vexiron not just because his ego was deeply hurt by the end of the storyline but also because his plan of resurrecting Xalazar was foiled by the one he underestimated.

He planned to use the deadly sins on Mark to create the war and get what he wanted, but once Sylvandria got her senses, Mark started resisting the lust by tying up his eyes whenever he got the feeling.

As for pride and greed, he was freed from both of them at the same time when he saved Elowen and then helped her create a new country with power being given to the people.

Despite being filled with rage, Vexiron didn’t try attacking Mark. On the contrary, he used his telepathic connection with the cursed diamond to let him and the princess teleport out of it, taking everyone by surprise.

In the outside world, as James chased after the mage and his hostage, Steve stayed there until Mark summoned the divine throne and increased all of his stats to above 11, forcefully breaking the diamond from the inside as it became impossible for the artifact to hold him.

As for why he didn’t do it earlier, the system informed him that he would kill the rest of the real prisoners stuck in the storyline. Since he couldn’t find Zan Rong, he waited until they got out of the story.

Hundreds of people appeared on the platform, still filled with confusion in their heads.

Transforming the divine throne into a flying carpet, Mark and Sylvandria then flew in the direction pointed by Steve at hypersonic speeds to catch up to their target.
