Weapon seller in the world of magic

”The demon is trapped”

”Guys, don’t relax. The demon is a demigod. You can’t underestimate it. And demon horde could attack us any time.”

Mephisto gazed at one of the sect leaders and grinned, ”Never expected one of the demon contractors would make a move against me.”

”Sect Master Nie?” The other two couldn’t help but glance at their ally.

Nie Zhouyang, with a grim face, said, stretching his arms, ”The demon will spout any nonsense to escape. Don’t waste time and kill it before it summons the demon horde.”

The other two nodded and stretched their arms, too, pouring ether energy into their respective artifacts, which responded by gathering huge amounts of natural energy to form a concentrated beam of energy and struck the demon general at the same time.

A blinding flash of light enveloped the demon general as the beams of energy continuously struck him. The disciples, soldiers, and mercenaries just stared at the spectacle in awe. The power generated by the artifacts generated so much power that spirit warriors could sense their souls tremble in fear.

Eventually, the flames around Mephisto’s sword died out and the sect leaders could no longer sense the life in the target enveloped by the flash of light.

”It’s over?” Even they couldn’t believe what they sensed and looked at each other in surprise.

It was at that moment a whisper of a voice entered their ears, ”disappointing.”

”Ack” ”Ugh..” ”Puchi…”

The sect leaders had their eyes widened as blades of demonic energy pierced their backs at the same time.

They stiffly moved their heads to the side, glancing at their behind. They saw Mephisto clones floating behind them with a grin on their faces.

At once, the entire place became silent.

Everyone silently gazed at the sky where the three sect leaders started falling down with the artifacts, freeing the original. Panic spread everywhere. Some mercenaries and soldiers opted out of the battle and tried running away. However, this time, they couldn’t escape.

An invisible barrier blocked their path.

Meanwhile, the sect disciples with their elders were prepared to take revenge for their sect masters, even though they knew they didn’t have any chance.

Looking down at the humans, the demon general mumbled, ”This time, my domain will force you to stay inside and die.”

After launching another barrier over the palace, Mephisto once again raised the sword, pouring his demonic energy into the flames, creating a demonic flaming bird in the process, ”Die.”

*Screech*

Letting out a piercing screech, the demonic phoenix flew down toward the ground as the sect disciples shot their spells at it.

The phoenix was invincible against the attacks launched at it, which were rendered useless.

”It’s over” ”We are dead” ”We can’t even escape” ”Why did I bother accepting the offer” ”That damn old bas*ard. He was living fine in the palace and killing us.”

*Screech*

The demonic phoenix charged left and right, randomly at its targets, turning them into ash instantly with a single touch. Meanwhile, more and more spirit warriors launched attacks at the energy beast but as if it was invincible against their attacks, none hurt it a bit.

Screams of terror and pain echoed all over the premises of the palace, the number of people getting lesser and lesser as they were turning into ashes.

”Damn it. This time, we have gone for good,” commented the warrior before grabbing the noble’s collar and jumping to the side, evading the phoenix that zoomed past them.

The demonic phoenix struck another group, generating a huge explosion, and threw off the four of them that originally stuck with each other but were now separated by the explosion.

”Ugh…”

The noble groaned in pain, trying to get up, but the demonic phoenix suddenly made a U-turn and specifically came for him, for some unknown reason.

”Hmm?” Mephisto raised an eyebrow at the strange behavior of the flaming bird.

It then flew into the air and then dived down toward him.

”I shouldn’t have listened to that bas*ard. What about my revenge? Damn it. That guy is also nowhere to be seen. Will I die without being able to do anything?”

Several thoughts came to Xiao Chuhe’s face as he stared at the descending phoenix.

The monk suddenly came between the noble and the phoenix, using all of his ether energy into his Wuji staff, releasing the azure water energy in the form of a wingless dragon, ”C’mon.”

”Baldy, no… get away…” Xiao Chuhe shouted, but the monk turned deaf ears to his scream. He motioned his staff toward the descending phoenix.

The demonic phoenix opened its mouth as it met the wingless water dragon; the latter was destroyed instantly and it went down to strike the monk.

Just as it was about to strike him, threads of golden energy came from behind the monk and captured its beak.

”Hmm? This isn’t a light attribute. This is divine energy,” Mephistopheles cast a glance at the source, spotting a masked individual standing there with a broadsword in his right hand and releasing golden energy threads through his left hand.

The masked warrior clenched his left fist, merging all the golden threads into one thick golden rope before raising his arm and swinging it away.

The demonic phoenix was raised into the air and blasted away, halting everyone’s movements for a moment and turning their attention to their savior.

”Brother Xie…” Xiao Chuhe’s face lit up by his timely save.

*Screech*

The demonic phoenix that found its balance let out an angrier screech this time before focusing solely on the one that attacked it earlier.

As the demonic phoenix flapped its wings, increasing the intensity of its scarlet flames even more as it charged at the masked warrior, the latter stood his ground and waited until it approached him.

And when it did, he raised his left arm, releasing golden threads of energy one more time, this time, enveloping all over its body. The phoenix was suspended in the air by the golden energy threads without being able to move, and the masked warrior then flew into the air and swung down the broadsword.

A swing from the sword released an arc of divine energy, slicing the demonic phoenix into two parts and dispelling the magic entirely.

Cheers erupted for a moment as the demonic phoenix disappeared from everyone’s sight, changing Mephisto’s facial expression, who was merely staring at the battle from the sky.

The masked warrior then slowly walked to the noble and lent a hand to him. As Xiao Chuhe took his hand and got up, the masked warrior spoke while casting a glance to the sky, ”I can’t defeat him alone. I need your help, my partner.”

”I…”

Hesitation drew on Xiao Chuhe for a second. The monk behind him asked in wonder, ”What do you mean by that?”

Xiao Chuhe turned his head to look at Mephisto and then at the masked individual, ”Alright.”

As Xiao Chuhe nodded, the masked warrior raised his hand; mystical symbols started appearing all over his palm, one after another. The monk then saw the masked warrior strike Xiao Chuhe’s chest out of nowhere; the latter flew into the air, coughing out blood and shocking the nearby others.

”Xie Tianyu…” The monk roared in anger.

”Shhh…” The masked warrior pointed the finger at the flying Xiao Chuhe. The supposedly noble of the Xiezhi Empire suddenly burst into flames. As they died in a couple of seconds, he saw a beast in place of his friend—a giant stag with the wings of a bird.

”Peryton?” Mephisto frowned at the sight of transformation. The masked warrior took off his mask as he landed on top of the beast, which flew directly to the demon general.

”A Peryton and a half celestial... Who are you?” Mephisto asked curiously.

Looking straight at him, the stranger answered, pointing the sword at the demon, ”I go by the name, Xie Tianyu, but you can call me Allen.”
