Weapon seller in the world of magic

”Adamantium cannot be available in pure form and you will only be given in the form of ores. Will that be okay?” replied the sea god without thinking too much.

Mark didn’t expect this sea god would agree so quickly, but since he was already getting what he wanted, he put an end to this matter with a silent nod.

With a smile on his face, the god of the sea then snapped his fingers, bringing out four beast eggs, each of them being as big as the houses the robots built on the island.

Each of the giant eggs had a different appearance too. One was blue and looked like it had scales. One was red and appeared to be quite hot as if it was very angry. The third one was white in color but have stripes all over. And the last one just looked like a giant black rock that fell from the sky.

As Mark and the others were staring at them, the sea god conjured two more things out of thin air.

”Here, I need your blood.”

After giving him a special knife and a bowl, Yuqiang gestured for Mark to proceed with the blood ceremony as he wanted to see them born in person.

Mark slashed his own palm with the knife and collected about 10-15 ml of blood in the bowl before handing it over to the sea god.

Yuqiang then placed his palm on the bowl to inject a part of his divinity into the blood. This was insurance. It was done so that Mark doesn’t have complete control over the holy beasts.

Once he was done with the process, he flew higher and poured the blood on each egg, hoping that this will finally satisfy the requirements to hatch them.

As the four beast eggs gave off a blinding flash of light, the sea god’s face also glowed with happiness for his efforts turned into success after so many years. And soon, he could see himself going back home and working in the heavenly palace.

One by one, the eggs cracked and the holy beasts broke through their respective shells and stepped out.

Mark’s eyes fell on them. The first to come out is a giant blue dragon with long whiskers and two arms but no wings. Even then, it was seen floating in the sky.

The second one is a fiery scarlet bird that was bathing in intense flames. It has a chicken head, swallow’s chin, snake’s neck, fish’s tail, and five-color feathers.

The third one to hatch is a giant white tiger cub with black stripes.

And finally, the giant black tortoise was born with its tail surprisingly in the form of a golden serpent. Both of them appeared to be sharing the same body.

As Mark proceeded to use his Sage eyes to find their information, Yuqiang greeted them loudly without bothering to hide his excitement, ”Welcome back to the world of the living, Azure Dragon of the East, Vermillion bird of the South, White Tiger of the West, and Black Tortoise of the North. My name is Yuqiang, a servant of the Heavenly Palace.”

The four holy beasts responded with their roars. While they were quite loud, as newborns, they sounded quite adorable at the same time too, well, atleast to the god of sea and wind. He just couldn’t stop smiling as he pointed at Mark, ”This is Lu Zhen and he will be your guardian until all of you become qualified enough to go back to your rightful places. I will be looking forward to the day when we will meet again.”

As the beasts turned their heads to look at their parent, the sea god landed on the ground and told Mark that he will fulfill his promise to collect all the available Adamantium in the mortal plane and give it to him within one year.

However, he didn’t remind Mark about holding the end of his bargain. With his divinity injected into their bodies, the sea god was confident that Mark wouldn’t be able to turn the holy beasts against him in the future.

As for Mark himself, Yuqiang was aware of his greediness and darkness but still, he wasn’t worried. After all, he is in the Saint realm and possessed a bloodline that is even more powerful than Blizzard Pegasus. In his view, he can kill the mortal at any time.

Unfortunately, this minor god neither knows about the heaven-defying system that Mark possessed nor was he aware that he completed the trial by defeating an immortal realm beast of ancient grade. If he had known, he would be more careful in giving this task to him all the people. But for now, the situation ended up like this.

Once he left, Mark paid attention to the holy beasts, which have the memories of their previous life according to the sea god, ”I’m leaving this place, very soon. If you can reduce your size, I will be able to take you all with me. If you can’t, then, you can stay on this island for a while until I return.”

Mark quickly received his response from the holy beasts; all of them gave off a blinding flash of light before turning into the size of an average-sized dog.

He let out a pleasant smile and nodded, ”Good, now you look more approachable. By the way, these are my family members. She is Song Yue, my wife. He is Lan Ju; he is Black Knight; this is Baltrow and Anan Spencer (formerly Tishanan).”

Mark introduced one after another who were standing around him. The holy beasts observed the fellow beasts and the humans for a few seconds before greeting the golden-furred cat in Song Yue’s arms. The rest were ignored.

*Maw*

The cat raised its paw while continuing to cozy itself in Song Yue’s arms as if it is a lord greeting its subjects.

This irked the holy beasts, especially Baihu, the white tiger cub. It took a giant leap at Mark and landed on his shoulder before looking down at Anan and letting out a cute roar.

As the guy whose soul was linked to these beasts, Mark automatically understood what these little fellas were feeling and he decided to put discipline into all of his contracted beasts now that he had such strength to do so. Of course, there’s also the intention of showing off and gaining loyalty points hidden in this decision.

Hence, he acted quickly by suddenly calling out to the zheng, ”Lan Ju, let’s spar a bit. I wanted to know how much stronger I got.”

”Eh?” Song Yue and others abruptly turned their heads in surprise, not expecting it from Mark. After all, he just came out of the trial.

”Everyone, move away.”

Mark addressed the others in a serious tone, making the little holy beasts flinch for a second before they scurried away like good pets. As the others also followed the suit, only Lan Ju was left beside him.

”Lu Zhen, I know what you are doing but your plan might backfire too as I won’t fake it and admit defeat just to show that you are stronger.” The zheng warned him in a low tone after staring at him for a while.

To which, Mark responded with a question, ”If I win, will you follow my orders without even talking back, atleast for the following two-three months?”
