Weapon seller in the world of magic

”Infernal domain is the highest kind of domain in this realm, which is exclusive to the nine demon kings. As it is formed by their life force, it is impossible to break this domain from inside, unless its caster willingly dismisses it or the caster gets killed.

What’s more terrifying is that the trapped individuals will have their cultivation bases suppressed by a whole realm. Even from the outside, it is durable enough to block Leviathan’s attack to a certain extent. Hence, this can also be used as a defensive barrier. The problem is that Bael is known to have only used this barrier when there is an enemy he must absolutely kill.”

Mark patiently listened to Duke Alloces’ explanation, leaving Ark to scan the barrier, in order to find out any weak spots.

Within ten seconds, the results came in.

*Ding! The barrier is weak against Divine energy.

”Of course, demonic energy is hostile to divine energy and vice versa,” Mark summoned his divine throne in the form of the submachine gun once again.

”What are you doi…”

Duke Alloces furrowed his brows when he saw the weird-looking thing in his master’s hand, which gave him a bad smell.

But then again, Mark merely used it as a decoy to launch other skills in their battle. Hence, he was also curious about its abilities.

As Alloces stepped backward, Mark poured his ether energy into the gun and clicked on the trigger.

*zzzzzz*

A kind of buzzing sound escaped the weapon as a super thin beam of golden energy launched through its barrel.

It attacked the barrier nonstop for five seconds, but couldn’t put a dent in the end.

Alloces: ”…”

”Well, it’s worth a try,” Mark shrugged his shoulders and put away the weapon, feeling embarrassed inside while trying to do his best to be calm on the outside.

He sat down on the grass for the next minute to recover his ether energy. It only takes 70 seconds to fill his reserves. So, he wasn’t worried about it much and focused on formulating another plan.

*Ding! Master could use Absolute Authority on the contracted demon to remove the barrier.

”Can’t you say it sooner?”

He was racking his brains and the sudden notification almost made him lose his cool. Suddenly, he felt like a fool; well, it was not a new feeling. He had such experiences in the past.

”Ark, change the title to Absolute Authority.”

*Ding! The title has been changed.

Mark got up and suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, ”Bael, come out.”

”Ah!” Alloces was startled.

Meanwhile, inside the hut;

Bael, in his humanoid form, had his hand tightly grabbing over the throat of a messy blonde-haired demon who wore round glasses and colorful clothes, ”With this barrier, you won’t be able to contact Leviathan for help too. If you can’t help us, then there is no use in you keeping alive. Now, I’m asking you for the last time. Will you cooperate or not?” He almost growled as his eyes were glowing.

The demon was trembling in fear. ”I… I… I…”

”Ugh…”

Suddenly, Bael let out a painful groan, freeing Marbas and grabbing his head, ”Damn this mortal. One of these days, I will skin him alive.”

”Bael, come out, right now.”

The sentence echoed in his head as something invisible trying to take away his consciousness. He resisted it somehow and hurried out of the hut, before losing his mind.

As he got out, he saw a familiar figure standing with his contractor. He immediately dismissed his domain and shouted at Mark, ”Now, dismiss that mind-controlling power that you have, Lu Shen.”

Alloces: ”Mind controlling power?”

”Change the title back to Master of Holy Beasts, Ark.”

*Ding! The title is changed.

Mark smiled, ”Sorry about that. I don’t have any other way to remove this barrier you kept, and Duke Alloces here told me that you are killing Marbas. He cannot be ki… lled? Chang’e?” His smile was replaced by a shock. ”What are you doing here?” *Ahem* ”I mean how did her grace end up with Bael, here?” he corrected his tone in the end, trying to show calmness on his face.

The Moon Goddess that came out of the hut was also as surprised as Mark. Before Bael replied to him, she directly explained, ”Due to some circumstances, I encountered Demon King Bael and he told me that this demon Marbas could help us in bringing to Leviathan.”

”That’s what Duke Alloces told me to,” Mark pointed his finger at the demon lord standing behind him in silence.

”Hmm?” ”Hmm?”

Chang’e and Bael momentarily shifted their attention to the Saint-realm demon. While Chang’e didn’t react and returned her gaze back to Mark, Bael narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the demon lord, ”I didn’t expect a noble demon who hates forming contracts with humans to try to compete with me. Hmm?”

”Uhh…” Alloces averted his gaze with an awkward smile, ”It was never my intention, but it is just that…”

”Just what?” Bael pressed him further as Alloces paused.

Mark took this opportunity to brag, ”I challenged him. He said that he will be my slave for the next hundred years if he loses. He lost the duel.”

”Huh? Seriously?” Bael was taken aback this time. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he patted Alloces nonstop, ”Oh my Great Devil, you have made a great mistake this time, Duke Alloces. Don’t you know that their Earth years are different from our demon years? This is why you should frequently visit mortal worlds.”

”EH? How much?” Mark questioned curiously.

”You mortals calculate the years according to the time that takes your planet to revolve around its sun, but a year here is calculated by the return of Great Abyss Tower. In your earth years, on average, it returns for every 245-260 years.”

Mark’s eyes widened in realization, ”That means…”

Bael grinned mischievously, ”On average, 25000 years of servitude.”

”Ah!” Alloces’ face went pale all of a sudden and Bael’s laughter intensified even more. ”hahahahahaha, you are doomed. Your master’s personality is just as bad as the Great Devil. His greed knows no bounds and his cunningness to take advantage of the situation is second to Mephisto. You are done for, Alloces… ahahahaha”

Mark: ”…”

Chang’e: ”…”

Roughly 36 hours later;

Three demons, one goddess, and one mortal were seen flying above the endless sea of lava; Alloces looked all depressed even after 36 hours, Chang’e was uncomfortable with the environment, Mark was working with his artificial intelligence to scan everything in 100 km range and mapping out the netherworld, Marbas was leading the group but still couldn’t control his shivering, and Bael was constantly exuding his aura to keep away all those pesky beasts down below at bay.

Eventually, everyone’s own thing came to a stop as Marbas descended onto one of the islets of an island group scattered in all directions.

As they landed down, Bael enhanced his senses to scan the area, even to the depths of the sea, ”I don’t sense the presence of Leviathan here, Marbas.” He furrowed his brows in displeasure.

Marbas bitterly smiled, ”if it was that easy to sense it, you wouldn’t need my assistance, King Bael.” He followed it up by taking out a conch from his storage ring.

”This is the Guardian’s treasure.” He showed it to Bael.

Mark instantly activated his Eyes of God skill to check it out.

Mark pointed his finger at the conch and asked, ”I think you can summon the Leviathan anywhere. Why did you bring all of us here?”

Marbas flinched at Mark’s question, but before he answered it, Chang’e opened her mouth instead, ”I bet it is because this place is too far from the other regions. So, no other demon king will be alerted by Leviathan’s presence.”

”Yes, I cannot take the risk of causing unnecessary casualties, but that’s not the whole truth,” replied Marbas in a timid manner while glancing at Bael, checking his reaction.

He was about to state the true reason but Bael then said as if he was impatient, ”Okay, blow it and call the guardian.”

Marbas didn’t waste any time in bringing it to his mouth.

*paaaaammm*

A mighty sound traveled across the sea and as soon as it died out in around 8 seconds, a portal opened not far away from them, and a half-naked male with vertical slits in his eyes and bluish scales all over his body.

”Why did you summon me, Marbas… Hmm?” His tone was filled with annoyance as he spoke to Marbas, but then as his eyes spotted the others, his facial expression suddenly changed, taking everyone by surprise. His powerful scarlet aura released from his body, forming a layer over his skin.

”Hou Yi… you dared to show your face in front of me again?” his voice filled with anger, stupefying everyone for a second.

”Huh?”
