Weapon seller in the world of magic

Mark opened his eyes, filled with excitement, observing his hands for a couple of seconds before getting up in a hurry and cupping his fist to the Goddess, who was seen standing not far away with her gaze fixed on the horizon. ”Your Grace, thank you for your help.” He genuinely thanked her, as he knew how long he had to suffer to get such a huge amount of ether particles.

With this, he couldn’t wait to try out his bloodline skills.

However, Chang’e responded by letting out a sigh once again, ”Mortal, I promised to help you in a breakthrough to the Demigod realm, but I don’t have the capability to do it.”

”Hmm?”

”The only thing that makes sense is your problem doesn’t lie in cultivation, but lies with your mind. You have to solve those things that weigh on your mind, in order to make a breakthrough.” She said in an apologetic tone. Perhaps, she was ashamed to face him. She refused to meet her gaze with her, unlike before and talked to him while looking away.

Mark instantly remembered his past life. There is a knot in his heart that he has yet to compromise with.

He could forgive Lu Zhen’s parents because they weren’t his parents in the first place.

But, the betrayal from his trusted comrades and superiors from his past life is something that he cannot ignore. There is also his life mission to reunite with his younger brother.

Unfortunately, these things he cannot share it with the Goddess and has to keep silent for now.

Chang’e perhaps was waiting for him to speak something, but as Mark stayed silent, she kept glancing to the sides for a while, until the awkward silence between them was broken by a beam of ice appearing in the sky, not far away from them.

”Hmm?” ”Hmm?”

”It looks like your sister made a breakthrough.” Chang’e hurriedly flew away from the spot. Mark stared at her back in a complicated gaze for a while. In the end, he let out a sigh, ”Well, Xiao Jiao was healed. That’s enough for me. Whether she still holds hope that I could help her or not has nothing to do with me. I just needed to ensure my life.

That will be enough. Hmm… the orb of time, huh…”

Three days later;

Mark and Chang’e were standing together in the middle of the grand hall. Both of them were almost sticking to each other with a large chain over their necks that had an amulet in the bottom.

”Do you think it will work?” Mark asked the Goddess. The latter turned her head and answered, ”Of course, as long as…”

Their eyes met and their noses almost touched with each other, making Mark and Chang’e look away as the latter finished her reply, ”As long as our energies are in sync.”

Pouring his ether energy into the amulet, he mumbled, ”I hope I’m doing the right thing.” Chang’e poured the energy into the amulet at the same time.

As he closed his eyes, mystical drawings started appearing beneath their feet before demonic energy enveloped their bodies. ”Ugh…” Chang’e let out a painful groan but bore the pain, not trying to resist the poisonous demonic energy.

Soon, the seal released a beam of light. As the light disappeared, they too disappeared not only from the room but even from the mortal plane of existence.

When his vision was restored, Mark found himself in the middle of an island located in the middle of a lava river. The sky looked too cloudy and the constant rumbling of thunders could be heard all over the place.

However, Mark finds himself alone. Chang’e wasn’t on his side, making him wonder whether they teleported to different locations or whether it failed and he alone got here.

While he was wondering about what happened with the Moon Goddess, Ark, the artificial intelligence spoke in his head, ”Master, the magnetic field is too messed up here. The quality of natural energy is too dense. It is not recommended to stay here for a long time.”

”Well, I’m a human and you are a super artificial intelligence, Ark. Both of us had one thing in common. We adapt to our situations.”

Far away from his location, Bael woke up from his sleep and furrowed his brows, ”Lu Zhen? This isn’t his spirit. I can sense life force. He is here with his physical body. Is he crazy? Hmm… I can also sense the presence of a deity here.” His frown was replaced by an evil grin, ”It’s been a long time since I have met a dog from the Heavenly Palace.

This should be fun. Forget about Lu Zhen for now. Let’s capture this Deity before others make their move.”

Meanwhile, in another part of Ars Goetia, Chang’e found herself in the middle of an island, located in the endless sea of lava. She couldn’t stop shivering as she mumbled, ”We were separated. But, that is alright. As long as I have this, there is nothing to worry about. Even if he dies, I can revive him.” She took out an orb that was constantly emitting an emerald-green aura. ”Leviathan, here I come.”

Several hours passed away in the blink of an eye;

As Mark started exploring the demon world with his icy wings spread widely, he realized various things about this new world.

First things first, there was a lack of vegetation in this place. Even after traveling for one whole hour, he had to see a single blade of grass anywhere.

While the never-ending Lava River and lakes seemed to be normal here, he realized that this place was rich in minerals and rare metals. Ark, the A.I., was busy scanning the surroundings and reporting him simultaneously, doing his job.

After crossing many regions and hordes of normal demons on the way and creating disturbance everywhere with his presence, Mark eventually landed on an island filled with purple-colored crystals where a demon was engrossed in practice. He was thrusting the spear into the air, over and over, with a hardened expression on his face.

The artificial intelligence naturally cannot get his details, unlike the system, but it sure successfully scanned his strength and abilities, using Mark’s God’s Eye skill.

Mark landed on the ground, not far away from him. However, the demon continued to practice, not sparing a glance at him.

After waiting for half a minute, Mark eventually decided to interrupt him with a greeting, ”Hello, sorry for the disturbance, but can we talk for a second?”

His words brought the demon back to reality and it displeased him for sure. With a frown clearly displayed on his face, the demon took a sniff and then growled, ”I smell divine energy inside you, mortal. What are you here for?”

”EH? Divine energy?” Mark was first slightly taken aback by the comment but then as he remembered that mark on his soul by the deity, which wasn’t removed yet, he composed himself and explained, ”I have no ties with the gods. If anything, I’m more connected to the demons. I have a contract with King Bael.”

”Bael?” The frown on the demon’s face disappeared and was replaced with curiosity. He observed Mark for a couple of seconds and nodded, ”Indeed, I can sense the aura of Bael latched onto your soul. That makes you one of us.” Putting away the spear, he asked, ”So, what do you need from me? Do you want me to show you the directions of his region? Or do you need my help in contacting him?

You can request anything but a contract with me. I don’t like to form contracts with mortals to fulfill their selfish desires.”
