Chapter 132 - The Emergence of a Four-Elemental Saint

Name:The Black Market Author:Condemned
Six people climbed down their savage beasts. They glanced at the building in front of them which gave off a feeling of power. 

Cale frowned while looking at the Savage Horned Knights and Ember.

"Asteria, is there any way for you to store them? It will be troublesome to leave them outside." Cale spoke inside his head.

"Yes, of course. Do you want me to teleport them inside the Gravity Training Environment? I can also change the place to make it look like a forest." Asteria spoke calmly, but Cale felt a hint of haughtiness in that voice.

"Yes, please." The moment the words came out of Cale's mouth,  bright rays of light enveloped the savage beasts before they vanished. Cale's subordinates merely furrowed their brows for a brief moment before following Cale who already stepped inside the Mercenary Guild branch.

Cale scrutinized the interior of the building. There were a few people going in and out, and all of them emitted strong auras. 

To become a mercenary, one should at least be at the Emperor-Class level. You will then be promoted as a Wood-Rank mercenary after being thoroughly checked by the guild.

The moment Cale's group came inside, all the mercenaries' chattering immediately ceased. They glanced at the six individuals draped in long black robes. They looked mysterious, but there were a lot of strong mercenaries inside. 

A group of Platinum-Rank mercenaries glanced at each other with cold smiles on their faces. There were about eight of them, and everyone from their group was also Saints.

"Oh, look! We have a group of shy newbies here, covering their faces and all." A bald and boorish man with thick curly beard slammed his hands on the table while wearing a mocking smile on his face. His companions laughed loudly at his words while looking at Cale's group in disdain. 

Loud laughter resounded inside the guild's dining area. They knew that group of boorish and rough men. All eight of them were Saint-Class level fighters and also Platinum-Rank mercenaries. Their strength was known by everyone, and it could even be said that they were close to the low-level Adamantine-Rank mercenaries in terms of strength.

Brogen clenched his massive fists tightly while glaring solemnly at the bald man. He unconsciously released his powerful aura which made the bald man feel a chill that ran down his spine. He then smirked coldly before looking at Brogen's massive silhouette.

"Interesting..." He muttered to himself.

Cale ignored them and continued walking towards the front desk. Cale smiled faintly at the beautiful lady who was assigned to the front desk. 

The beautiful lady was dumbstruck at Cale's charming smile. Her face turned crimson red, but she still flashed a professional but shy smile at Cale.

"Hello, sir! My name is Ria. How can I help you?"

Cale glanced briefly at her face, before taking out the recommendation letter that Alucard wrote. He then handed it to Ria who received it with a surprised look. She read the letter slowly, and her face turned serious every second. 

"A recommendation letter was personally written by sire Alucard?" Ria unconsciously spoke in a loud voice. She realized her mistake so she hurriedly covered her small mouth with her hands. But her gaze towards Cale and his group turned more respectful. It was after all a recommendation letter from the eleventh Adamantine-Rank mercenary. 

Ria's voice was actually not that loud, but it was enough for the high-level mercenaries inside the guild to hear. They then frowned while looking solemnly at Cale's group. Who would have thought that the group that they had mocked earlier was actually recommended by one of the Adamantine-Rank mercenaries?

"Sires, we still need to check your strength levels before I can give you your identity tokens." Ria took out a fist-sized ball of glass and placed it in front of Cale. 

"Place your right hand on the ball and release your origin or elemental essence," Ria spoke seriously while glancing at Cale.

"Cale, that is a Spirit Crystal. It can detect your strength level and it will also show what kind of elements you are able to wield. Control your elemental essence properly if you want to hide your true strength." Asteria spoke calmly inside Cale's head, but he was surprised about what she said.

Cale then put his right hand on the ball while releasing his elemental essence. The moment he released his elemental essence, the ball flashed four colors which blinded Ria. 

"Initial stage of the Saint-Class level. Four elemental Saint..." Ria speechlessly glanced at Cale while covering her tiny mouth. Such a talented person was actually standing in front of her. A legendary four-elemental Saint!

All the mercenaries who heard her stood up in alarm. Their eyes went wide as if it was about to pop out of their sockets. Being a four elemental Saint means extreme potential. And in their Celestial Sword Empire, only the emperor and the second prince were known to have four elements!

'Oh shit! Are four elements really that much? I should have only shown them two or three..." Cale was surprised at everyone's reaction. He did not know that a four-elemental Saint was actually rare on Shura. What would their reaction be if they knew that Cale had ten elements in total? That would be quite interesting!

"Sir, please tell me your age and name," Ria spoke excitedly. Her eyes twinkled like stars as she glanced at Cale.

"Ahh... Can I just provide a codename? As for my age... I'm twenty-four." Cale was a bit embarrassed. He prefers to be called Wolf King since he was already used it. 

Ria was surprised that this four-elemental Saint was still very young, but it was not that rare. There were also a few other Saints who were still in their twenties on Shura. 

"Yes, sir. A codename will do as well." Ria nodded with a sweet smile.

"Wolf King..." 

After Cale, Brogen and the others were also asked to give their information. And all of them were three-elemental Saints! 

"Here are your identity tokens. It can also act as your storage space where you can place your belongings." Ria handed them an armband with white and purple colors. These colors represent their rank as a Platinum-Rank mercenary.

This time, no one mocked them anymore. All the mercenaries glanced at them respectfully, even the group of boorish men refused to glance at them now. Such people were bound to become Immortal-Class level fighters! 

Cale and his subordinates wore the armband. It immediately adjusted its own size based on its owner's wrist length. 

'Finally, we are now mercenaries. The first part of my plan was a success. We should take things slowly now and not rush everything.' Cale smiled inside his heart.

The news about the appearance of a four-elemental Saint in the Celestial Sword Empire spread like wildfire. Such an astonishing piece of news shocked the whole populace.

Meanwhile, inside the crown prince's palace.

A young-looking man wearing luxurious golden clothing was sitting elegantly on his seat. A kind smile can be seen on his handsome face.

This man was the crown prince of the Celestial Sword Empire. Although he looked rather young, he was already in his forties. 

A shadow appeared silently behind him before he walked slowly beside the crown prince. The latter perked up his ears and a surprised look can be seen on his face after hearing the report. 

"A four-elemental Saint suddenly appears during this tumultuous time. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for our empire?" The crown prince sighed worriedly. The shadow who was draped in tight black clothes respectfully stood beside the crown prince, was also drowned deeply in his thoughts.

Inside a big mansion, a handsome man with long golden hair that reached his waist was breathing heavily as he pounded a beautiful young lady on his bed. A line of blood trickled down the young lady's legs, and her face was covered with tears as the handsome man vigorously pounded her from behind.

Four naked young ladies were also lying on the bed weakly, sweat can be seen on their stunning faces. Drops of thick white liquid can also be seen all over their bodies which emitted a peculiar scent.

"Your highness second prince, I have an important report for you. I request to go inside!" A stoic voice of a woman can be heard outside the room. 

The second prince did not speak for a moment and just continued moving his hips wildly. He then pulled out his shaft out of the woman's body before spraying a hot liquid on her shapely ass. He gave her round buttocks a soft slap before standing up contentedly.

"Come inside..." The second prince then spoke in a calm voice.

The door opened and a female knight draped in silver armor came inside. She did not look surprised after seeing the women on his bed, but she still felt angry in her heart. They were young virgins from commoner families that the second prince's people abducted as a gift for him. To think that there was such a scum among the Doomblade imperial family! 

"Your highness, a four-elemental Saint has emerged in the empire. He is now a Platinum-Rank mercenary in the Mercenary Guild." She held the anger in her heart and put on a respectful look as she spoke.

The second prince was still looking playfully at the female knight, but when he heard about the report, his face immediately turned serious. Moments after, the second prince grinned which made the female knight's scalp tingle in dread.

Inside a villa, a strikingly handsome man was looking at the horizon. A devious smile hung on his pretty face. His laughter resounded inside the villa, and everyone who heard it trembled in fear.
