Chapter 341 - Savior

"[Seal]"

Mercury instinctively moved to the side as 'something' hit where he had just been standing, then he looked over at the woman that had disappeared as someone spoke out right beside him

"[Flame]"

Mercury's figure flickered before it disappeared, the moment it did a blue flame engulfed the space where he had just been standing, he reappeared a few meters away as he complained

"That's dangerous!"

"Aware, meant to be…"

Mercury followed the sound of the voice and looked over at the word Shaman woman that locked eyes with him for a moment before she widened her eyes and showed a smile as she spoke

"You're… [Dragon seal, 5th level]"

Mercury felt the tattoo on his face heat up before his entire body turned sluggish, on his face the tattoo under his eye had expanded and was glowing with a clear light, Mercury kicked off the ground, even under the intensified seal he was still rather fast, just as he was about to punch out and shatter the jaw of the word Sharman he hesitated as he looked into her innocent-looking eyes, this proved to be the wrong time to hesitate

"[Dragon seal, 9th level]"

Mercury felt the tattoo under his right eye heat up again as it expanded, then he stumbled and fell down on the ground, it felt like he had been dumped into a frozen lake, only the pressure on his body was enough that he felt his bones cracking and his skin being torn, even breathing was difficult let alone moving, the word Sharman knelled down next to him and poked his cheek and stared at him for a bit before she spoke or rather asked

"Okay?"

"....n….o…."

"[Dragon seal, 8th level]"

Mercury suddenly felt that breathing became a little easier and passed out at once …

When Mercury woke up again he found himself in a room above ground, judging from the sunlight that purred into the room from the outside, in front of him was the word Sharman woman that had captured him, she stared intensely at his face, Mercury found the situation rather awkward so he spoke

"Hi…"

She tilted her head slightly before she spoke

"Asma, you?"

"...Pardon?"

"Name"

"Oh… I am Mercury… And your name is Asma?"

"Asma is Asma"

"I see…"

Mercury felt a headache coming on, the main cause was this girls communication disorder, or maybe she just weighed her words more carefully than him, it made sense since she was a word Sharman, Mercury sighed before he asked

"So, now that you've captured me what are you going to do with me?"

"Talk"

"I see, what about?"

The girl thought for a moment before she spoke

"Seal"

"Oh, this thing?"

"Mmn"

"Well…"

Mercury thought for a moment before he spoke

"Well I don't know much about it, I guess you could say I've been reborn with it?"

"Not sure?"

"No, I have been reborn with it"

Asma stood up from her chair and walked closer to Mercury and stood in front of him and spoke a word

"[Truth] Repeat?"

"...I've been reborn with this seal, I don't really know much about it"

Asma paused for a bit before she spoke again

"Savior"

Then she suddenly hugged him tightly, Mercury was a little confused but even as a few minutes passed she had not let go of him, Mercury cleared his throat before he asked

"Why am I your savior?"

Asma still hugging him tightly spoke a few words

"Living god, no?"

"Yeah I am a living god but I don't know what that has to do with it?"

"Legend, Living god, savior"

Mercury managed to piece together that due to the fact that he was a living god he apparently was the savior of Asma or her people, he slowly felt his headache become stronger and after a bit, he sighed before he asked

"Can you lower the seal then?"

"[Dragon seal, 1st level]"

Mercury felt a heavy burden being lifted from his body everything was suddenly easier, even breathing

"Thank you"

"Natual… Savior"

Mercury sighed again before he used [Metal assimlualtion] on the chains binding him before he gave Asma a quick hug half expecting her to let go once he did only to find that she was still hugging him when he let go, Mercury sighed before he spoke

"Should we inform someone that I am your savior?"

"Mmn, [Message] Rana… Found savior"

In the capital of the united Cana tribes the old word Sharman suddenly stiffened once she received a message from her inheritor Asma, then she immediately sent word to mobilize the entire word Sharma clan to go to the fortress city of Hericon, before she lamented

"I wish she would use more words, my dear Asma..."

Back at Hericon Mercury still found himself being hugged by Asma, after a bit he tapped her on the back a few times before she finally let go and stared into his eyes with expectant eyes, Mercury looked into her eyes for a bit before his hand moved to the top of her head and patted her head, Asma closed her eyes and stood there for a bit before her ears twitched and she turned towards the entrance to the room, Mercury removed his hand from the top of her head and took a step back before he put his hands behind his back to make it look like he was still tied up, then the door to the room opened and a couple of people stepped in, one was very much a merchant while the others were very much hired muscle, the merchant rubbed his hands when he laid eyes on Mercury before he spoke

"So this is the weapon… To think that it would come to us, the 33 is finally smiling on our tribes!"

Then he walked forwards towards Mercury until Asma spoke

"Rasul Shad, not weapon"

The Merchant turned towards Asma, when he did he showed a kind look, like a grandparent looking at their grandchild before he asked

"What have you gotten out of him by now Asma dear?"

Asma looked disgusted at the Merchants kindness before she spoke

"Not dear, Not marrying"

The merchants sighed before he asked

"What's so wrong with my grandchild? He's upright and a great merchant, the two of you grew up together too"

"Nothing wrong… Not going to be 6th wife"

The merchant sighed before he looked over at Mercury again, but before he managed to speak Merucyr spoke or rather asked

"So now that you've gotten yourself the perfect weapon what do you plan on doing with it?"

The merchant looked surprised before he quickly looked over at Asma again and asked

"What's this? Didn't the texts say that the weapons were a soulless automaton?"

Mercury sighed before he narrowed his eyes and spoke

"Your information is 8 months too old, this vessel is mine"

The merchants' eye twitched slightly before he repeated

"Vessel..?"

Then he went into deep thought for a moment before he asked

"Then you must be the newest living god… And the savior of the word Sharma tribe?"

"Indeed"

"In that case, you must hurry towards Cana and meet with the matriarch of the words Sharma's, I'll arrange for transport"

Mercury shook his head before he spoke

"No need, I already have a guide"

The merchant nodded before he gestured for Mercury to leave the building, Mercury walked out along with Asma and soon they left the fortress city of Hericon, the merchant stood and watched them leave from the top of the walls, then he sighed

"A shame, Asma would have made a good granddaughter-in-law…"

Then he gestured for his subordinate to come closer before he whispered to him

"Kill the group traveling with the living god once they are out of range of Hericon with the superweapon, then be sure to find the living god before he resurrects and put an enslavement collar on him"

The subordinate nodded and went to prepare, meanwhile, the merchant Rasul Shad who was the head of the merchant group and one of the 3 elders of the United Cana tribes watched the two leave the city with a slight smile on his face as he calculated what a living god slave would be worth…

"Mercury!"

Mercury showed a wry smile when Marie called out to him from afar and came running after her came the rest of the group, after the 2 women made sure Mercury was okay Mercury explained about Asma and him apparently being the savior of the Word Sharma clan, when the group turned to question Asma she simply spoke

"Mercury, savior"

"Erm… Mercury, is that how she normally talks?"

Mercury nodded and showed a slight smile as he petted Asma on the top of the head

"Asma here weighs her words in gold"

Asma comfortablelly closed her eyes when Mercury petted her head and looked a little disappointed once he eventually removed his hand, Mercury didn't notice this but Marie and Julia did and exchanged glances before both of them sighed
