Weapon seller in the world of magic

Chapter 484 Returning home and a piece of bad news

Due to the extreme speeds displayed by the divine throne which nearly threw off Sylvandria and she had to tightly grab Mark's arm to stay on it, both of them went past James and caught up with the mage.

When they caught up, Elowen was seen unconsciously suspended inside an energy bubble.

Upon seeing his back, Mark didn't waste time in unleashing the lightning bolt onto his head, not wanting to get fooled once again.

This time, he didn't fail. With a strike of lightning from the heavens, the mage was turned into ashes in a split second and an unconscious Elowen started falling down.

Mark controlled the carpet to increase its speed and Sylvandria caught the elven queen as well as Vexiron's staff in a jiffy.

Once she was caught, Mark finally paid attention to the notification on the holographic screen.

*Ding! You completed the Emergency Quest, Save your companion. The reward has been sent to the inventory.

Since the reward had been issued, Mark was sure that the target was eliminated and he felt more or less relieved. But the only issue is that he wasn't able to capture Vexiron's soul.

Back when he thought he killed him, Mark didn't think of it because the Orb of Bael couldn't absorb the souls when the demon king was summoned.

Right now, he wanted to do it but still couldn't do it as it was already filled with the kills he had during the past few days he spent inside the cursed diamond.

As a result, the mage's soul was able to escape from his grip. 

Whether it will go to the spirit realm or plan for getting a new body is something Mark had no intention to care about. 

The mage doesn't know about his world and neither does Mark care what happens if the mage returns and supposedly wreaks havoc in the Ixitus Empire. He has more important things to focus on, at the moment.

Placing the attention on Elowen, Sylvandria tossed the staff to Mark. He caught in reflex and used his God's Eye skill to inspect its details. Upon seeing a particular detail, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Hmm?" Sylvandria was puzzled at his reaction. She couldn't but ask, "It's just a semi-divine weapon. Is there something more to it?"

Mark replied while continuing to stare at the staff or more like the translucent gem that was adorned at the head of the staff, "Let's just say your world's hero will be resurrected in a few moments."

"Huh? What are you saying?" Sylvandria looked at him questionably, wondering whether her badass fiancé was bragging about himself or something.

Mark then controlled the flying carpet to land on the ground.

As Sylvandria stepped down while carrying the Elven Queen, Mark spoke in his head, "System, Activate Weapon Transmutation."

The holographic screen appeared with the image of a circle and the word transmute below it.

As soon as he placed the weapon in the circle, Sylvandria saw that it disappeared. She merely thought he kept in his storage ring but stayed still as a spectator, watching her fiancé poking his index finger in the empty air.

*Ding! All the items are extracted and sent to the inventory.

"System, open inventory."

There were a few precious raw materials he saw, but he didn't pay much attention to their amount and just scrolled to the side until he found an image that resembled a wisp in the inventory.

He then clicked on Ark, the Rank-7 Android with an appearance of his past life, and summoned him to the world.

Sylvandria was first taken aback by the sudden appearance of Ark. At first, she thought he was probably like Bael but then as she probed him, she found nothing. She couldn't even feel the source of life inside the Android that was looking and talking like a human. Everything was so strange to her. Yet, she kept her mouth shut and watched it in silence.

Meanwhile, Ark greeted him with a standard military salute, "Your orders, Master?"

Mark didn't answer him and spoke to the system about the transfer of the soul.

Soon, the golden wisp flew out of the inventory and flew into the chest part of Ark, merging with his core. 

*Ding! The Emergency Quest, "Resurrection of Eol," has been completed. The reward has been sent to the inventory.

*Ding! Eol's soul was found to be strong enough to dominate A.I. in Ark's core. Do you wish to wipe out his memories to retain Ark's personality? Note: Regardless of the outcome, the loyalty of the Android to Mark will not change.

Mark already discussed this matter with the system; hence, he went with the refusal. "No, don't wipe it out, but remove his connection to my inventory as well as my memories from both of my lives."

*Ding! Affirmed. Finalizing with the merge. Waiting time: 30 seconds. 

Half a minute later, Ark's behavior changed completely from earlier. Taking a step back involuntarily, he checked his arms and legs before taking a look at Mark, "I didn't expect to see another Android in my life, ever again. What's more, my consciousness was planted in one. What planet are you from, bro? *Ahem* Sorry, I was too excited. Anyways, I thank you, my fellow human. The commands say that I should address you as Master. You won't mind if I call you with another honorific, would you? Calling someone a Master sounds very old-fashioned. How about I address you as Boss?"

Mark couldn't help but stare at Ark in a daze for a couple of seconds, realizing that this guy had a bit of personality. At the same time, the way he was speaking reminded him of the people from his past life.

As he silently nodded, Ark took a glance at Sylvandria and commented, "You look just like Ariana Silverleaf. I suppose you are the High Priestess who is her reincarnation?"

"Not anymore, but yes, she was a prior incarnation of me. According to the Temple's historical records, I have reincarnated three times after that," Sylvandria confirmed his suspicions. As for Mark, during those days her husband spent in the cursed diamond, he learned that she reincarnates in the royal household every time she dies, although she wouldn't have the memories of her past life.

"I see," Ark nodded in understanding and suddenly remembered something, "Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My apologies. I'm Eol of the Great Plains. I guess both of you might have already known that, but still, I would like to…"

"Eol, we can talk later…" Mark interrupted his talk before sending him back to the inventory without his consent and placed his attention on Sylvandria. He asked her whether she could provide him with a set of armor for Eol /Ark so that no one could see what he looked like underneath that armor.

Sylvandria mentioned how their armory was safe with her but didn't have the right to take out the weapon or give it to him. The rights stay with the Queen and she intends to hand over the armory to the rightful owner.

Mark knew that the Queen would thank him anyway. So, he wasn't worried about getting a set of armor. But, the only thing on his mind is the fact that he cannot completely control Sylvandria. He will have to work on that.

Since they weren't in a hurry, the flying carpet moved at normal speeds and Mark took his time to take a good look at the rewards he attained so far and the loss he suffered.

"Let's see… A rank-7 Android, Upgradable Battle tank, unlocked Rank-1 Android in gallery, upgradable Space station, Factory summoning to material world, rocket launching station from the negotiations, Absolute authority title from lottery wheel, a normal grade Upgrade crystal, tactical UAV and Armed UAV.

As for losses, to save those royal elves, I spent 24 purification stones each worth 50,000 credits, and one more purification stone to release Elowen from mind control, lost my Exo Suit, and gave up Sun Wukong's Tier-5 bloodline. Hmm… losses are not so bad if I think about it. Furthermore, now I have three more 9-circle realm experts who will do my bidding. Removing the Shang Dynasty from power without a war or massacre will become easier with their assistance."

The next day morning;

Silviana Leafwind, a 6-circle realm cultivator of the moon elf race and the successor of Sylvandria, activated the teleportation formation while Mark and his companions were saying goodbyes to their acquaintances.

"Your Majesty, with the guidance of Elders and the citizens on your side, I truly believe you will rebuild this broken world and bring it back to its glory. When you are deeply in trouble, don't hesitate to use the scroll I gave you. I'll be here to rescue you," Sylvandria was speaking to Queen Elowen.

Meanwhile, Mark was conversing with Zan Rong, "Think about it once again."

Zan Rong shook her head with a simple, "I have decided, Lu Zhen. I will stay behind and help out the Queen in rebuilding this world. Once I make another breakthrough, I will leave in search of Allen."

"Fine, but don't forget to meet me," Mark said in a serious tone. "Someone linked this specific teleportation formation to our world. Hence, it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to return home. When you do, I will give you something helpful to you in survival."

"I promise," Zan Rong nodded.

Soon, the teleportation formation was completely activated and a beam of light was shot up into the sky.

"It's time," Sylvandria informed the rest of her companions and took another look at her successor and nodded before stepping inside the formation alongside Mark, Steve, and James.

With a look of disappointment on her face, Elowen stared at Sylvandria's back as the latter disappeared from sight, "She is the princess from the prophecy. I guess I was nobody after all." She lets out a deep sigh before clenching her fist, "it doesn't matter. I just have to use this opportunity to create my own destiny."

Meanwhile, Mark found his surroundings changed to that of grassland on the top of a hill.

He was wondering whether he really returned to his world or not, but before asked the system, it confirmed with a series of notifications. The first notification lit up his face but the following ones changed his expressions.

*Ding! You entered Earth-43
