Weapon seller in the world of magic

Three years after Mark's abduction; 

Year 2044, Linz City, Eurasian Federation;

In a city where the air traffic is slightly busy with Aero-cabs flying everywhere, a young adult couple was walking on a sidewalk with their arms locked with each other. 

One is Zan Rong/Marina Zan and the other one was a handsome-looking young man with aquamarine eyes, messy hair, a v-shaped torso, and broad shoulders. He looked attractive enough to have the attention of the female passersby.

"Babe, I have to return to the dorm," said 17-year-old Mari. To which, the man responded with a question, "It's already the time? I thought your flight is at 19:00 hrs."

Mari shrugged her shoulders, "I haven't packed."

The man's shoulder's dropped and his face crestfallen in depression, "I can't believe the summer is here already."

"But then again, it is just this summer. Once I return, I can move in with you." Mari told him about how her dad has given his permission for her to move out of the dorm and live with her boyfriend.

The man was naturally happy when he heard that and he expressed how he cannot wait for the day when they start living together.

Both of them stopped and looked at each other before kissing each other. The passersby don't care about it anyways as it is a common thing.

Just as they were about to separate from each other, something incredible happened all over the world at the same time.

Thirty beams of light descended onto the earth while everyone was frozen in their spots as if time itself stopped.

Coincidentally, the two of them were also caught up by the beams of light. Once they disappeared, the time flew like normal.

The young adult couple suddenly found themselves in the middle of a large platform alongside the other chosen heroes of similar ages and they were surrounded by dark elves.

A tall and attractive-looking woman who was standing in the summoning circle greeted them. "Welcome, chosen heroes from another world. I'm Nyxira, the third princess of the Ixitus Empire. Our world is in grave danger and we require your assistance to save millions of people from the demons. 

We will give you powers, we will train you, we will make you live as long as our race, and you could also return to your world with those abilities to become heroes there too. All we ask is your time, bravery, and service."

One year later;

Somewhere in the woods;

Mari and her boyfriend were wearing a full set of equipment and carrying bows & staves just like the other dark elves as they were hunting down demonic creatures in a forest.

Despite the fact that they have only trained for one year, the two of them have already surpassed the dark elves of captain rank in terms of strength and skills. With the 7-circle realm of cultivation, Mari is now a newly promoted general while her boyfriend turned fiancé is her lieutenant general with the cultivation realm of peak-6-circle.

After killing one after another, both of them eventually reached the central region of the lair of the demonic serpent Vyrkara, a beast king of the 7-circle realm.

There, a half-naked muscular man was waiting for them while sitting on his throne. 

"Welcome to my abode, the legendary demon slayers. I heard so much about the heroics of you two lately but you two aren't smart at all. Flaunting your talents in front of the natives and snatching their positions will always create envy. Now, look at the two of you coming straight to death..."

"Don't overestimate yourself, serpent." Maria took out her staff adorned with a blue crystal on its top and pointed it at Vyrkara. Her partner also took out his bow made of dragon bones and conjured an arrow.

"Oh boy, here we go…" Vyrkara stood up from his throne and transformed into a seven-headed serpent with each one in a different color, corresponding to each basic attribute. Its cultivation rose to 8-circle and the young couple's faces changed upon realizing that they were indeed fallen into a trap.

The battle ensued between them.

Eventually, Marina and her fiancé fell into extreme disadvantage and they decided to escape from the beast, but not outside. Instead, they ventured deeper into the caves located in the lair.

Vyrkara naturally followed them from behind. Unfortunately, its large size made it difficult to capture the couple and its movements also slowed down.

However, Vyrkara cannot transform back into a human form either. He wasn't an emperor-grade beast that can transform at will after reaching a certain level. There was some sort of cooldown timer between transformations.

After running for so long with injuries, they ended up in an underground cave where a mysterious headless statue was placed in the middle.

"Babe, look at that. There's something written here…" Mari pointed at the stone tablet below the statue as her fiancé was wondering where the statue came from.

She walked toward the stone tablet and crouched down to wipe it off.

"We don't have the time to fool around, Mari," said the man as he took out a scroll and placed it on the ground, getting into action to activate the teleportation formation.

"C'mon, there's no way that serpent would be able to reach with its huge size. We literally crawled in those tiny gaps." After telling her fiancé to stop worrying, she further told him that she won't take a long time to fulfill her curiosity.

However, just as she wiped off the first few characters, she was taken aback in surprise, "Uhh, babe, look at this. It's Mandarin."

"Huh?" the man was surprised and couldn't help but look in the direction of the stone tablet. As Mari hurriedly wiped off the dust to reveal more characters, her fiancé commented, "It looked like we aren't the first ones to be summoned by the elves."

"But, who could have inscribed these words here and what was it doing here?" asked Mari filled with curiosity.

To which, the man responded with a shrug, "Who knows! We don't have the luxury to probe into the matters."

"Wait. There's a message here. Give me a second." Mari went on to wipe out all the dust with her hand and read the sentence as her fiancé continued with his process.

"For some complicated reasons, I'm sealing my soul in the statue, hoping that I will never get out. If you read this, then, I hope you never attempt any technique that involves space attribute anywhere near my prison as it will create distortion in space and unleash hell onto this world. I hope…"

Just as she read it in her mind, a panic appeared on her face as the teleportation formation was completed. "Mari, it was ready."

"Oh, no." Mari abruptly turned her head and shouted, "Shut it down, Allen."

"What are you…" The man was taken aback and before he even reacted to anything, the statue started cracking and multiple portals appeared randomly with each one having great suction power.

Without being able to resist, the two of them float in the air and flew toward a portal each.

"Mari…" "Allen, no…"

They ended up being swallowed up by the portals before the statue crumbled to dust, releasing a wisp.

At the same time, random portals started to pop up everywhere around the world, and from them, alien creatures exited one after another, throwing the entire world into chaos.

Present day, Helios City, Eastern Sun Kingdom;

"And this is how I ended up in this place only to lose my memories in the process." Mari finished her story and let out a deep sigh as she looked outside through the window glass. "I don't even know where my hubby was right now and how should I find him. But, I think I can find some clues in the ruins of Khambhat, where I appeared on this planet.

Even if I find a way to leave, I still need to worry about my cultivation now. There was some sort of seal on me and my cultivation realm was regressed to 5-circle."

After hearing everything, Mark only asked one question as he pressed on the brakes, "Your fiancé. Is his full name, Allen Spencer?"

"Hmm? Yes, how do you know?" Mari asked curiously. She told her story but had yet to hear how this man knows her past and could speak her mother tongue. "Do you know Allen?"

Mark's hands started shivering all of a sudden and Song Yue's facial expression also changed.

Forcefully calming down himself outwardly, Mark nodded, "Yes. He is like a brother. I mean, I was a close friend of his elder brother."
