Sato closed his eyes, a look of deep concentration etched onto his features. He kept his hands in front of him, ensuring that his grip on the Lyn stone remained steady.
As he began to channel his magic into the stone, it began to emit a bright green light that illuminated the room.
In Sato's mind, a flurry of images and ideas coalesced into a single, clear vision. With unwavering focus, Sato directed his magic towards the formation of this object.
The Lyn stone seemed to split into threads of pulsating energy, swirling and coiling in mid-air before taking on a tangible form.
With a flourish, Sato opened his eyes and revealed what he had created. The threads of energy had coalesced into a beautiful black rifle gun, gleaming with the same green light as the Lyn stone.
Sato smiled with satisfaction, his magic once again proving to be a powerful tool in his arsenal.
"Is… Is that a God weapon?" Slevin uttered in surprise, staring profoundly at the rifle since he had never seen a weapon like that before.
Sato replied, "No, it's just a regular weapon, nothing really powerful against gods, but in a war… it's a soldier's best friend".
"Impressive." Vlad said with a smile before he stood up from the chair and walked toward Sato, "And how does this weapon of yours work?" He asked.
He snatched the gun from Sato and began swinging it like a sword, "Hmmm? Something doesn't feel right." Vlad said, swinging the gun again to test its weight.
Sato snatched the gun back from Vlad, "Let me show you." He said, looking to Selvin almost immediately, "Selvin, come here a sec".
"Sure." Selvin left the side of the chair and walked closer to Sato, "Why was I called?" Selvin asked.
"Here, hold this." Sato instructed, positioning the rifle very well on Selvin before he walked toward the door. "Now, listen, I want you to pull the trigger when I give the alert, Okay?".
"Ugh, yeah, I think I understand." Vlad responded, aiming the gun at Sato but with intense focus.
"Perfect." Sato stood right, 'Hold up, can I even withstand the attack from a gun?'.
<<Although the rifle is a very gun with a lot of firepower, it can't still hurt you.>>
"I'll take your word for it," Sato said, bracing himself as he instructed Selvin, "Okay, Selvin... fire!"
"Here," Selvin replied, tightening his grip on the gun and resting his fingers on the trigger. "I go!"
With a deafening boom, Selvin's body was thrown back as a fast-moving green energy blast shot out from the gun and struck Sato in the gut. The impact caused the surrounding area to explode, and the door and wall behind Sato collapsed.
Sato slid out of the room, his body absorbing the full force of the attack. As he looked back into the room, his eyes widened in shock at the destruction caused by the blast.
"Shit, that was more effective than I thought," Sato thought to himself. He accidentally made eye contact with Vlad and the others, who had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
...
[Riojas Kingdom. Located in the human region. They are also one of Sato's closest traders for Herbs and Deerhug].
Before Sato even thought about going to the Gateway to meet the witches, he already set another plan in motion.
He sent Divanchi and Giron to the Riojas kingdom to plead for military support. Although the terms had been met, all that was left was the validation and confirmation.
And thus they began, Divanchi and Giron were standing in the center of the throne room, while the king of Riojas, Yaomira, sat down on his high throne.
His piercing gaze fixed upon them, and the atmosphere was tense with anticipation. The fate of their mission rested on the king's decision, and they could only hope that their efforts would bear fruit.
"Will the Lord of Elves be joining us today?" Yaomira asked, gazing down at Divanchi and Giron.
He was in his 50s and had white hair and blue eyes, complemented by a golden crow and white expensive clothing.
Giron cleared his throat before he replied, "My lord is currently in a city on business, which is why he sent us here to complete the deal".
"Hmmm…" Yaomira groaned, "I am to trust you understand the importance of this meeting?".
"I promised your Lord to assist him in the meaningless fight against Fiona, but in exchange, he promised to give me rare Lyn stones, I believe he promised three carts".
"You don't need to worry about that? We brought the goods along with us." Giron responded with a smile.
The king was feeling hesitant to believe them, even though he had bought a lot of goods from them.
And no one could actually blame him since it was justified. The Lyn stones are very rare and valuable materials and most times can only be found in places embedded with surplus magic essence, like places where Divine beasts lived, or places where natural disasters had just occurred.
Because of his uncertainty about the treaty he was about to sign, Yaomira forced Giron and Divanchi to show him the goods before he would continue.
Reaching outside the palace, Giron led the king and his adviser toward the two carriages parked outside the castle.
One of the carriages had 4 different carts behind it and they were connected to one another like a train with a black fabric covering it.
"It's in these?" Yaomira asked, looking at the carts with doubt still written on his face.
"Yes, allow me to show you, the Lyn stones." Giron walked closer to the cart and immediately pulled the fabric away from the two carts in front.
Both Yaomira and his assistant had their jaws dropped in shock; they stared at the carta filled with green glowing Lyn stones.
"H-How is this many even possible?" Yaomira muttered, walking closer to the carts to pick one of the Lyn stones only to be amazed again, "It's the real deal." He said in awe.
"Do I take this as we have a deal?" Divanchi spoke from behind, her arms tucked with her stares focused on the King.
