Weapon seller in the world of magic

Quest: Save Eol

Description: Eol's soul is trapped by Vexiron while his physical body is taken over by the spirit of the clone of Xalazar. Save Eol by inserting his soul back into his body after separating the demonic spirit from his body.

Reward: Rocket launching station.

Accept?

"And how should I do that?" Mark asked the system, hoping for guidance.

However, the system didn't give him what he wanted.

*Ding! The host has to find the way by himself

Obviously, Mark didn't like the answer. He argued, "In that case, I need a better reward."

*Ding! The request is declined. The reward is fair.

"Hmm, that means it isn't a tough task and isn't involving defeating or killing this shorty alien," thought Mark. "I guess I have to depend on my 7 points of luck… Should I absorb some of their luck? However, these are not normal warriors, especially that rotten green apple. He might be able to sense when my ring absorbs his luck. Then, should I target one of my own?"

Seeing that Mark was standing in a daze while the rest of them simply glancing at his back, the demon emperor frowned in displeasure, "Young man, you are here with our enemies to strike a deal at midnight but instead, you are only wasting our time. Tell us what you want before I lose my patience."

"Open skills section"

After returning to reality, Mark opened the skills section as a part of his plan and then said in a calm manner, "These two elves are my prisoners. I'm willing to hand over them to you in exchange for letting me take their people to my world in peace. They shall never return to this world, seeking revenge either."

As the mage stayed silent, observing everyone else, Demon Emperor let out a chuckle, "You are quite amusing, human. Why do you think I will listen to a wea…"

"We agree." Vexiron interrupted the Demon Emperor before he finished his words of belittling.

"Lord Vexiron…" The Demon Emperor abruptly turned his head, raising his voice.

The mage raised his hand and closed his eyes with a nod, gesturing him to leave it on him.

As everyone's gaze shifted to him, Vexiron let out his usual creepy smile as he stared at them, "If the Princess becomes His Majesty's bride and accepts the demonic energy, thereby turning into our Demon Queen, we shall end the enmity with the elves. The surviving elves can peacefully live in that forest without any fear, restarting their civilization."

"Eh?" "Huh?" 

The Demon Emperor was also shocked this time. And for the first time in several hours, the High Priestess opened her mouth. "That's not what we agreed, Vexiron."

"Hmm?" Mark turned his head to the side and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.

The High Priestess continued, "Our agreement was that if I surrender and marry your king, you leave our people alone, including her highness. You even did a soul oath, don't forget. Now, I'm here in front of your doorstep to do my part of the deal."

"What are you saying?" The Princess was shocked. Steve and Zan Rong merely expressed their surprise on their face. Mark, on the other hand, furrowed his brows as he completely turned around, "High Priestess Sylvandria, I believe you forgot about your current position. I'm the one in charge."

In response, the High Priestess let out a snort of disapproval, "I'm your prisoner, not your slave. I'm independent to make decisions on my own."

After refuting him, she shifted her attention back to the mage, "Vexiron, follow the old deal and take our people under your protection, I will even hand over the Divine weapon of the elves."

"Sylvandria…" This time, the princess couldn't help but raise her voice against the High Priestess. In fact, she was so angry with Sylvandria that she didn't even attach the title and directly called her name. "Do you even know what you are saying?"

The High Priestess answered, "I will do whatever is needed to keep our people alive. It doesn't matter if I make a deal with the hero or the devil. After I am gone, my successor will replace me as the High Priestess and assist you in building your own kingdom. Consider this as your repayment for everything I have done for you and your people."

"Your grace…" The Princess went speechless at her reply and just stared at her. For a few seconds, both of them silently stared at each other as if they were telepathically communicating even though they were not.

The Princess then nodded in understanding, stepping aside and giving way for Sylvandria to walk forward.

The High Priestess let out a smile and stepped forward. But, just as she was about to cross Mark, the latter grabbed her hand tightly. "Since you forget your position, then, let me remind you."

Mark raised his left index finger to click on the skill. 

Just as everyone was wondering why he was pointing his finger at the mage, invisible pressure pushed them to the ground.

"Gravity Dome, 200g"

Except for Vexiron who was on his knees, the rest of the people found themselves crashing onto the ground and stuck to it like a magnet.

"This power…" The Demon Emperor tried his best to raise his head and glanced at the mage. "It is similar but strong enough to force Vexiron to his knees?"

"Fascinating," commented the mage with a smile, not minding how he was forced to kneel. Ether energy escaped from his body, forming a layer over his skin before he slowly rose to his feet. "I had my suspicions. You are the one who created that black hole, aren't you?"

"Hmm?" Mark was slightly taken aback by how easily the demigod realm mage managed to nullify the effect of the gravity dome on himself. He couldn't help but think, "I guess I did a good thing on not underestimating this fellow's strength. Nevertheless, once I reveal my trump card, he will die anyway. So, I don't need to care about it too much."

In order to follow his original strategy, Mark then had to admit the truth but without any look of apology on his face, "It was an accident." He merely shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn't much.

The mage, however, didn't blame him either. Instead, he went on conversing with him while even ignoring the struggling demon emperor beside him, "It's been a while since I have witnessed such a destructive black hole. Yours also seemed a little special. Even the Great Xalazar couldn't destroy it and made it worse instead. If not for the intervention by the world's guardian, the world would have been doomed. But then again, it is to be expected. The guardian won't be able to see the destruction of the world in his care."

"Guardian?" Mark raised his left eyebrow with a frown on his face. The system was the one who intervened, not the guardian. 

While he believed that this planet also had a guardian just like how his planet also had one, Mark didn't probe too much into the matter considering how this guardian never intervened even when the demons took over the world or when his black hole went out of control.

He merely nodded in understanding and said, "So, what's your choice? Since Sylvandria wanted to take Elowen's place, you can choose who you want. Considering the fact that you are interested in letting them roam free as they wish, here's my new proposal. I would like you to convince Xalazar to release the rest of the royal elves imprisoned in his tower."

"Huh? The royal family is still alive?" "My family is alive?" "Eh? How do you know that?"

High Priestess Sylvandria, Princess Elowen, and Vexiron were stunned by his words.
