Weapon seller in the world of magic Chapter 398

Published at 17th of May 2023 11:21:26 AM



Sometime later, on a large island, as millions were being massacred indiscriminately by thousands of robots and the buildings were being destroyed by explosions one after another, Mark was laughing like a crazy villain while observing from a helicopter.

"Now, the whole world will understand what will be the result of offending me. Hahahaha…"

Within no time, the enemy country has fallen and the king was on his knees before Allen. Behind the king who had a striking resemblance to Song Yun, there were about a thousand soldiers in the same condition without any willpower left.

And around them, there were hundreds of robots with rifles in their hands.

The king raised his head as he saw the helicopter land and Mark gets down, walking toward him.

When Mark reached the king and looked at his face, he stepped back in surprise. For a few seconds, unrelated memories appeared in his head where he only did nothing but caused destruction using his battle tank.

"You massacred innocent citizens who had nothing to do with our enmity. You are a devil," roared the kneeling king. There was a clear hatred in his eyes.

Mark came out of his thoughts and looked coldly at his enemy, "you should have expected this before you executed my spies publicly without even trying to negotiate with me."

As the enemy king spat on the ground in response, Mark raised the gun and pointed at his forehead, "Goodbye, loser."

The enemy king shut his eyes and prepared for death. 

One second… two seconds… three seconds…

Time ticked for five seconds but the bullet never escaped the gun. The king opened his eyes to see a devilish smile on Mark. "No, you won't die a death without a proper audience. I will parade you in the streets of our capital city before executing you. But, before that, I will destroy everything that you hold dear. First, your citizens, then, your prosperous kingdom, then, your soldiers, then, your family, and only after that, your death will come."

"You mothe… Argh…" As the king was about to curse Mark while standing up, Allen kicked the back of his thigh with so much force that it forced him to kneel once again.

"Kill…" Mark gave the signal to his robots and hundreds of gunshots were heard, turning every captured soldier into a corpse.

After a while, the helicopter started flying away with the defeated king inside. 

Enormous explosions occurred one after another, drowning the entire island in the ocean.

Roughly about a couple of hours later, Mark and his army returned to the city. 

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the sidewalks as the robots paraded in the middle with Mark's half of the body standing out of the tank.

"All Hail Genesis" "All hail Genesis" "All hail Genesis"

The cheering reverberated all over the city as the army was going to the center of the city.

Soon, everyone gathered in the arena. Several guillotines were placed in the middle of the arena and a few feet away from them, the defeated king was kneeling with injuries all over his body. He was tied up by Allen so that he won't move from the spot.

Mark and his queens were sitting on a balcony, watching the event.

Allen spoke loudly, "Bring in the prisoners."

Two women covered in black robes and hoods were dragged in chains along with a dozen more individuals who were criminals of the kingdom of Genesis.

"No… please spare their lives…" the defeated king screamed as loud as he can while the robots secured the prisoners including those two hooded women with a pillory at the bottom of the frame, holding the position of the neck directly below the blade imbued with ether energy.

Allen then raised his head to look at his king for permission. As Mark gave his nod, Allen turned toward the robots and announced, "Begin."

The first blade was released and cut down the neck of a prisoner, ending his life in one chop.

For the next ten seconds, the heads started rolling on the ground one after another.

And finally, only two women were left.

"No… please take my life… Just kill me first…"

The king pleaded with everything he could but it fell deaf to Mark's ears. Allen then gestured for the robot to release the blade.

It was at that moment Mark opened his mouth, "Wait."

The robot stopped the execution and the king hopefully looked at Mark, wondering whether he had a change of heart.

However, the next sentence from Mark dashed his hopes completely.

"It's no fun to kill them like this. Mr. Song Yun here should see the faces of his loved ones when they were killed. Only then it will be satisfying." Mark said with a smile, making it seem like he is a sadist to the core.

But, as if everyone is psycho like him, everyone just laughed and cheered along.

"Kill" "Kill" "Kill" "Kill"

As the whole stadium was filled with cheering, the robots grabbed their hoods and tore them with force before grabbing their hair and raising their heads for their king to take a look at their faces.

Mark was stunned for a moment as his eyes fell on the beautiful face of a maiden at the end.

A gush of memories hit him at the same time as the blade was released on the wife of the defeated king. He got up from his throne. "Song Yue!"

The head of the woman who resembled Song Yun's wife rolled on the ground and her husband cried out in pain and tried to get up but was held by Allen.

In the next second, the last blade of the guillotine was released.

"No" "No"

This time, two people screamed at the same time. One was the defeated king but the other was Mark.

Surprising everyone in the stadium, Mark took a huge leap from his throne.

He couldn't make a proper landing and tripped his leg, falling on the ground. By that time, the blade almost reached the neck of the woman.

"Noooo"

He screamed at the top of his lungs and instantly, everything around him froze by the ice.

Everything except for Song Yue and Allen was frozen in ice and she raised her head with tears falling from her eyes and a look of surprise on her face.

Mark didn't care about his surroundings and just dashed forward.

"Why?" She asked with a stunned expression. 

After freeing her, he caressed her face and spoke, "Even if this is an illusion, I would never hurt you, my schatz. I would rather burn the world."

A stream of tears fell down from Song Yue as cracks appeared all over her body. "What?" Mark was taken aback at first but then saw the whole world around him start cracking.

Eventually, everything disappeared and Mark saw the demonic creature standing before him with its human head smiling.

"You…" Mark got angered and almost opened the skill tab to attack but the demon king's words stopped him from doing that.

"You are full of lust, wrath, and pride, Lu Zhen; quite a fitting host for demons. On the other hand, Gluttony, Envy, and Sloth; the three deadly sins had no effect on you. 

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to test your greed but it is clear that your love for that girl is strong enough to repel the seven deadly sins. It destroyed everything I had planned for you. She's your anchor, Lu Zhen.

I really wonder what would happen when that anchor gets broken one day. Will the ship sink or will it sail and destroy everything in its path. Anyways, this is my assessment of your test."

As Mark forcefully suppressed himself from beating this demon, the latter continued, "Now, coming to my conditions, they were simple. Freedom to act. There is no cost for summoning me, but to stay by your side, I would need to consume the soul of a human or any creature. Here…"

Demon King Bael took a white orb out of nowhere and threw it toward Mark. As the latter caught it in reflex, the demon said, "every time you kill, this will absorb the soul of the killed one. When this changes color, you can summon me at any time."

Mark observed the orb in his hand.

Orb of Bael

Grade: N/A

Description: The orb automatically absorbs the souls from the corpses when near them (in a 100-meter range).

He furrowed his brows as he fell into deep thinking, wondering if it would be the right thing. Since his path ahead is filled with dead bodies, either way, Mark was tempted to take this offer.

However, after experiencing the seven deadly sins, he wouldn't underestimate this demon.

He consulted the system. As expected, he received a series of notifications.

*Ding! The target is too stronger than the host. The system cannot forcefully summon the target whenever the host wants.

*Ding! The host cannot summon the target with full power. The target will only possess the strength of a maximum of two realms above you.

*Ding! This target usually can only be summoned for 10 minutes to 60 minutes for 24 hours. But, this target can break the rules due to abnormally high stats.

*Ding! The system cannot control the target as a slave contract cannot be imposed due to the large difference in strength and the host should depend on his own skills to order the target.

*Ding! Using the orb of Bael to absorb the souls is against the course of nature and might receive the attention of the Death god, Yan Wang.

*Ding! The orb of Bael can be integrated with the system to receive protection from being traced. Proceed?

"We'll proceed after returning to our world."

Mark kept the notifications aside for a second and looked at the three-headed demon. "Alright, Bael. We have a deal."
