BXBX NOVEL Chapter 477 Absolute Authority
Chapter 477 Absolute Authority
Mark put his brain to use. He started thinking of everything he could to avert this crisis and change it into an opportunity.
Of course, he would never help them, not because they were demons and evil or something, but it is due to the fact that there is no quest prompt from the system. He has no gain from freeing the Abyss Lord.
After ten seconds of silence, he implemented the best idea he had in his head.
As both demons stared at him, Mark reacted by saying, "I'll help you with whatever you want, but I want something from you, Mr. Xalazar."
"What do you want? If you can free the Devil, you can have this entire world. I don't care about it," replied the ruler of the Tower.
Bael added, "Lu Zhen, you know where I come from. If you really managed to do this task, the entire Ars Goetia will owe you. You can have a contract with any demon you wish. You can also have the rare materials from our realm."
A tempted Mark waited for a couple of seconds, but there was no quest from the system. He wouldn't believe the promises of the demons without any assurance from the system. As a result, he threw away those second thoughts and shook his head with a smile, "I'll tell you when I need it, but for now, I need you to stay still for a couple of minutes and not be alarmed by the thing I'm going to do it."
"What is it?" Xalazar asked curiously. "I'll tell you once it is finished," said Mark as he raised his index finger with a gold ring on it. "Absorb," Mark said in a whisper. His eyes were fixed on Xalazar.
*Ding! The target has 6 points of luck. Please state the number.
"6 points," replied Mark in his head.
*Ding! You have 7 points of luck. Excess luck points will vanish. Proceed?
"Yes." Mark was firm.
*Ding! The luck points' absorption has been started. Please make sure to stay within a 5-meter radius from the target for a period of 180 seconds.
"Hmm? What is this strange energy?" Bael looked like he was perplexed as he stared at the finger. Meanwhile, Xalazar appeared clueless.
After a few seconds of silence, Xalazar lost his patience and asked, "What were you trying to do?"
"Eh?" Mark was slightly taken aback by his response and realized that he was unaware of the luck absorption even though the system mentioned to him that demigods and above-realm cultivators have a significant chance of sensing it.
Thinking of a quick excuse, Mark said, "Please let me concentrate and don't move for four to five minutes. I'll explain everything later."
"Fine," Xalazar stared at the human in confusion, trying to figure out what was going on with him.
Three minutes are over and Mark received the notification that his luck reached maximum.
Once it was done, Mark then spoke to the system, asking it to open the Lottery System.
Soon, a new window opened on top of the holographic screen, displaying the giant wheel with rewards and empty spaces. Perhaps, the wheel system went through a reset when the system was forced to go offline. The rewards were slightly different from what he remembered the last time he used this feature.
*Random Unique skill*
*Random Bloodline*
*Random Title*
*Upgrade crystal (superior grade)*
* Main Battle Tank (Upgradable)* *Upgrade stone (superior)*
*Mysterious box*
Without any expectations, he clicked on the spin. 3000 credits were deducted and the wheel started spinning.
Mark wasn't bothered by the reward he was going to get. He didn't absorb Xalazar's luck just because he wanted to use it in a lottery. He merely wanted to turn Xalazar into an unlucky demon so that nothing would go as this demon lord wanted to happen.
Little did Mark expect that his ten points of luck really turned the situation in his favor due to the lottery wheel.
As the wheel stopped spinning after about 30 seconds, Mark saw the arrow pointed at Random Title. At first, he thought it was a useless reward but as he saw the details, his mind blew up in astonishment.
*Ding! Congratulations, you won *Random Title* as a reward.
*Ding! You received the title, "Absolute authority."
Title: Absolute authority
Description: When equipped with the title, every living being that formed an equal or a slave contract will be forced to follow the command of the user without any questions. The contracted beings cannot break the contract through any means as long as the title is equipped. Note: Elder Gods (15-circle) are completely immune to this skill and True Gods (14-circle) can resist the effect. *
"Now, that's what I call lucky. If I equip this title, I don't even need to switch to the other title to control those guardian beasts."
While Mark was excited to try this title, he didn't equip it. He wanted to see if he could take advantage of this situation as he had ten points of luck for the next five minutes.
But, the task has proven more difficult than he expected.
Closing down the window, Mark first told the lord of the tower to ease up and further asked him whether he was willing to form a contract with him, just like Bael.
Contrary to his expectations, Xalazar firmly turned down the proposal, stating that he didn't like being chained to anyone but his creature. However, he added that he can be his ally.
Mark didn't like his answer and immediately dropped his plans of recruiting him, hurrying up to make his next move.
He then wished to return to the palace while leaving behind the demon king Bael in his place.
Bael didn't understand what Mark was planning, but he felt like he was being tasked with keeping an eye on this immortal realm demon.
As for Xalazar, he was more than happy to converse with Bael. He didn't care about Mark. He obliged Mark's request and sent him away before started talking about the Abyss Lord, wanting to know about his creator.
As soon as Mark returned to the Royal Palace's Altar, he saw the Demon Emperor standing with Vexiron as they were chatting about something. Both of them were slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of Mark. "You are back," Eol commented before adding, "but, why?"
Mark ignored him and looked at the mage, "Are the preparations ready?" He asked.
While Eol frowned in displeasure, Vexiron answered, "The bride is getting ready."
"Ready?" This time, it was Mark's turn to frown. He said in a commanding tone, "No need for all that. I will bring her right away. Both of you prepare for the rituals and everything needed. Where is she?"
"In the Queen's Quarters," As Vexiron answered with a dumbfounded expression, Mark nodded and turned around to walk away.
Once Mark disappeared from their sight, the Demon Emperor clenched his fist in anger, "That human is acting up too much."
Vexiron also became serious as he shook his head, "His importance has been elevated and we cannot just offend him until we are done with him. Swallow your pride and put up with his behavior for a while. Soon, he will be leaving this world anyway."
The Demon Emperor's clenched fists tightened but stayed silent.
Meanwhile, Mark hastened his pace and started moving at his maximum speed. However, it took more than three minutes to find the room. And that too, he was able to find it because of Steve guarding the place outside with an unconscious princess placed on the couch nearby and Zan Rong inside.
"How long it will take?" Mark asked in impatience as Steve greeted him.
Steve replied, "They just went there. It might take a while."
Mark looked at the pocket watch in his hand and became serious, "No, I don't have much time."
He walked forward.
"Wait…" Steve was about to stop Mark but the latter already burst into the room in a hurry, taking the ladies by surprise.
"Kya…" A scream escaped from the High priestess and Mark's eyes fell on her. She appeared to be in the middle of dressing. While her private parts were covered by the undergarments, the rest of the milky white skin was shown and Zan Rong hurriedly covered her body with a robe. "What the fuck are you doing?" She erupted in anger.
Meanwhile, Sylvandria's emotions calmed down and a deep frown appeared on her face as her eyes fell on Mark. "A deity's blessing?" She thought in her head.
