Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-187-3

The store was closed and all the customers were kicked out but none of them dared to leave the street. Instead, they gathered at the Genesis Training grounds and watched Mark as he was demonstrating how to use Chimera SGM.

It's because Queen Consort just asked them in a polite tone as she cannot afford to wait two hours. Although her tone was polite, everyone immediately understood that it was an order and no one had the courage to ignore her words.

In the end, they just followed them into the training grounds named after the store.

*Brrrrrrrrttttttttt*

All it needs is a mere 8 seconds to launch 100 rounds with each one powerful enough to take out a peak-3-circle realm. Anyone below 6-circle would have been sent to the brink of death if he/she were bombarded with 100 of such tungsten bullets

But for now, the only things that were destroyed were the thirty vases made of mud.

Fortunately, even after Mark's arm shook a lot due to the recoil, making him waste more than half of the ammunition for nothing, no one could detect it due to the machine gun's high performance.

Perhaps the only strange thing is that the Queen Consort looked a bit too calm on the surface despite not being a Spirit Warrior. Shang Jiao, on the other hand, had a completely different reaction. Her mouth was widely opened and a shock was displayed on her face.

She was in disbelief that a weapon can destroy a target that is placed atleast 500ft away. They were standing at a corner and those vases were placed diagonally in another corner. What's more shocking than the distance is that she couldn't see many of the bullets attacking the vases.

After finishing the demonstration of the machine gun, Mark looked at the mother and daughter pair, "as I have said earlier, this part is called a machine gun, which has a high fire rate and can shoot the objects from even half a kilometer away. But, if you don't like to waste ammunition or feel that it is useless against a 5-circle realm opponent, you can put the machine gun aside and choose this final one, twin grenade launchers. All you have to do is to load the grenades like these…"

Mark loaded two 40mm grenades, one in either of the grenade launcher, and just aimed at an empty spot on the ground, about 60-70 meters away.

Both of them grenades were launched and hit the ground, causing an enormous explosion in front of everyone. The other spectators took a step back in fear while Shang Jiao and a General flinched in surprise despite being in a six-circle realm.

Here is where the Queen Consort acted strange again. She didn't move from the spot and just gave a nod to the explosion as if she knew about it.

"Queen Consort Lan, this is just a demonstration of how these work in general. I will teach the princess how to operate each part effectively in different situations using different weapons." He ended it with a statement and waited for her answer.

Shang Jiao looked like she made up her mind. Before her mother answered, she gave her reply, "No, the demonstration hasn't been over yet, Mr. Lu."

"Hmm?" Mark and Lan Jingyi looked at her.

Shang Jiao then said, "I want a demonstration of its effectiveness on live targets. And I'll be that target."

"Are you crazy?" Lan Jingyi knocked her head once again.

"Ouch…" Rubbing her head, she replied, "I'm a 6-circle expert, Ma. Those things cannot hurt me anyway. And it's not like we use these weapons to play. They are used to harm the Spirit Warriors, right?"

"In that case, let me volunteer for it, Your Highness." General of the North, Ye Yin stepped forward to become the target.

"And you think you are stronger than me just because you have higher ether particles?" Shang Jiao raised her eyes brows as she stared at the General who accompanied them along with the other soldiers.

General Ye immediately bowed, "I apologize for not picking my words wisely, Your Highness. I don't mean that."

Shang Jiao shifted her focus back to her mother, "Father gifted me this weapon and instructed me to train in it during the punishment. If I were to use this weapon as my secondary weapon, then, I have to experience it myself."

Lan Jingyi stared at her stubborn daughter for a while and then, turned towards Mark, "are you sure that it won't heavily injure her?"

Mark shook his head right away, "I can't give any guarantee for that. Despite being a 6-circle, she's still a mage. Mages usually have high magic power but low in defense and my weapons specialize in penetrating the defenses."

His words caused worry in Lan Jingyi but brought a frown to her daughter. "Mr. Lu, don't place me in the same group as those ordinary mages. I can even give a tough fight to someone like Supreme Commander Bai. These bullets weren't much."

Mark didn't take her words seriously and just stared at his mother instead. He asked for confirmation, "so, does Queen Consort Lan will give me permission to fire at her daughter? I just hope that I won't get blamed by the Emperor if something happens because of her overconfidence."

"You…" Shang Jiao clenched her fist in anger.

Lan Jingyi thought for a bit and said to Shang Jiao, "General Ye will face the attacks. After that, he will decide whether it is safe for you or not. After all, one should always be careful of the unknown."

"But, Ma…" Shang Jiao tried to protest her decision, as it will only undermine her strength but seeing the look on her mother's face, she stayed silent, "Alright."

General Ye walked forward and stopped at 50 meters distance as he was instructed by Mark. He pulled out a gold-grade shield, clearly displaying that he doesn't intend to take the risks.

Shang Jiao snorted at his action, "what a coward."

Meanwhile, Mark got into the position. Unlike before, he was focused. One of his knees was on the ground with the weapon stably positioned at the same level as his shoulders.

Mark looked through the scope and adjusted his aim. For a moment, he felt like aiming at the forehead but eventually, he changed his aim towards the right elbow. It was one of the few places where there is no armor and so, it is vulnerable to attacks.

He clicked on the trigger.

*Bang*

The machine gun fired one round. With a muzzle velocity more than twice the speed of sound, the peak stage six-circle expert couldn't see it properly.

But then again, it wouldn't matter because he knew that this bullet will not be able to hurt him. So, he didn't bother to dodge or defend himself with the shield.

As a result, the bullet managed to strike his right elbow. It didn't injure him but left a deep red mark, making the spot swell a little bit. The General groaned, feeling a sharp pain but not for long.

Mark continued. After shooting for like ten rounds from the machine gun, using it more like a sniper, Mark shifted to Shotgun and then, eventually, launched grenades.

Because the General was cautious enough to use the shield as well as his ether energy to protect his body, the four grenades also did nothing to him, except for leaving tiny wounds on his body here and there.
