NOVEL FROG Chapter 359-365
Chapter 359: Black Dragon Nemesis
p>The Black Dragon who had been thrown by Jessica was utterly terrified, but he couldn’t resist the Fate Power.
He was just an Adult Black Dragon. His physical abilities were fierce, but he was far from being as powerful as an Ancient Dragon.
And 6th layer Fate Power was enough to tear a Dragon apart with bare hands. It’s just that such an action would sap Jessica’s power!
Marvin’s appearance gave her a ray of light.
With the help of Lorie’s telepathic communication ability, the two of them coordinated smoothly.
“Rumble!”
The Mechanical Titan used the same strategy as before, accelerating to its maximum speed!
As the Mechanical Titan was rolling, everyone could feel the earth shake.
The Black Dragon also shook!
“Boom!”
Jessica’s Fate Power had wrapped around the Black Dragon and smashed him against the ground.
Just the throw was enough to harm him.
But it was then followed by Marvin’s ruthless smashing!
The Mechanical Titan had completely transformed into a crushing machine!
“Rumble!”
The Titan ruthlessly grinded down the Black Dragon as it let out mournful howls.
Those howls were filled with the Dragon Race’s curse. Marvin’s body was becoming richer in the aura of a slayer of Black Dragons.
But he didn’t care!
Dragons weren’t untouchable. And the Black Dragon Race had many enemies. Even within the Chromatic Dragons, they were the least liked.
These five Black Dragons should be the only ones remaining in Feinan.
As long as they were dealt with, the Black Dragon Race should be extinguished!
And the Black Dragon God would suffer a great blow. Although the foundations for his Faith weren’t in Feinan, the Black Dragons were still his clansmen.
Thinking of this, Marvin had no scruples.
At maximum speed, the Mechanical Titan kept rolling, cheerfully crushing the ground below and flattening everything!
Such a scene was truly unprecedented.
The remaining three Black Dragons were watching indecisively because of their great fright.
Jessica’s power made them very worried. Under the eruption of the Fate Power, even the Black Dragons wouldn’t be able to keep flying.
And if they fell, they might be slaughtered by that frightening machine!
After a few times back and forth, that Black Dragon’s fate ended up the same as his companion’s, no longer even looking like a Dragon.
An Expert Master Alchemist would be lamenting.
It was such a waste.
Marvin’s actions really were too much of a waste!
The Black Dragon’s entire body was a treasure. How could he flatten it to the point of transforming it into dregs?
Did that guy not care about the Black Dragon’s important parts?
…
Seeing the Dragon’s head turn into a pile of meat actually made Marvin feel some pity.
Although he got the battle exp, that Black Dragon’s body also had many useful things.
It wasn’t like he didn’t want to use other ways to end the Black Dragon while preserving his corpse.
But the Battle Modules were unlocking too slowly. Only the Roll Mode was the most complete and also the most energy efficient so far.
Despite this, the energy also depleted by a large amount after killing the second Black Dragon.
Marvin knew that he couldn’t use the Mechanical Titan to eliminate all the Black Dragons!
But at that time, a line flashed in his logs:
[You killed three Black Dragons (Feinan Native Species). You gained the title, Black Dragon Nemesis.]
He had killed all kinds of Dragons when he was a Ruler of the Night, but he hadn’t massacred a specific Dragon species.
He actually did it this time. He killed three Black Dragons!
[Black Dragon Nemesis]: Immunity to Black Dragons’ Dragon Might. Able to use Reverse Dragon Might.
Reverse Dragon Might was something easy to understand. Dragon Might was something the Dragons could release to deter other lifeforms.
This kind of deterrence would keep applying willpower checks on the enemies.
Most people would have issues passing the willpower tests, making them become frightened and confused.
After all, the impact of a Dragon was way too high.
Even Legends had to be very cautious.
Marvin had Weeping Sky in his hands so he actually wasn’t worried about Dragon Might.
But Reverse Dragon Might was something very pleasing.
This title could be hidden. Only when Marvin chose to display it would the effects become active.
Reverse Dragon Might was a bloodline deterrence that Marvin could exert against Black Dragons after killing a lot of them!
It was the same kind of willpower test.
Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as Dragon Might, it would be able to frighten Black Dragons and greatly influence their fighting strength.
Seeing this, Marvin couldn’t help but glance at the remaining Dragons in the sky.
If Marvin wasn’t wrong, killing them all would get him a similar [Race Exterminator] title.
The Black Dragons born in Feinan would be completely exterminated.
This was something no one had ever accomplished.
Marvin was a little eager to give it a try.
A pity that the Mechanical Titan’s power source was severely lacking.
Thus, he told Lorie and Jessica to hold off.
The two sides stood in a nervous deadlock.
At that time, a sweet sounding [Ding] echoed in the cockpit.
“What Module has been unlocked?” Marvin quickly inquired.
The Mechanical Titan’s voice settings had already been modified to Common by Marvin and he could communicate directly by now.
But the answer left him speechless. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Music Module unlocked successfully, Pilot!”
Fuck…
First was the air conditioning, now it was music… these Ancient Gnomes.
Marvin couldn’t help but inwardly curse them! Didn’t he prioritize the Battle Modules?
The truly useful Battle Modules were still slowly being unlocked, and at this point, Marvin guessed that even if he unlocked them, they wouldn’t have much use.
Because by now, the Mechanical Titan’s energy was already below 10%!
The Roll Mode was relatively less taxing, but with that kind of burst power and speed, it all needed to be supported by a great amount of energy.
Crushing two Dragons to death was already a sufficiently shocking accomplishment.
Marvin returned to the Humanoid form that saved the most energy and coldly watched the frightened and indecisive Black Dragons in the sky.
“Does another Black Dragon want to give it a try?” he bluffed.
The onlookers were speechless.
Some people with nimble minds already understood that a powerful city… A powerful country had emerged!
Rocky Mountain!
An abandoned land where people were banished.
No one had thought that these three girls who never gave up would manage to establish a rising country from scratch.
The three Fate Sisters had top-rate potential in the plane, so as long as they didn’t meet any insurmountable issues, Rocky Mountain would develop enough to match the South Wizard Alliance.
They were Fate Sorceresses after all.
That was a class that could increase their strength without having to do anything.
And the enigmatic Robin had now appeared.
No one knew his real relation to Rocky Mountain, but he had appeared twice now when Rocky Mountain was in crisis.
Tearing a Black Dragon apart with his bare hands, turning two Black Dragons into mincemeat… Who knew what the Black Dragon Race did to provoke such a killing monster!
That was the Black Dragon Race!
If it was another enemy, just Jessica with her 6th layer Fate Power would be enough to make them reconsider.
Let alone now that there was a Mechanical Titan!
Anyone else would have already pissed their pants and retreated.
…
A faint glow radiated on the three Black Dragons’ bodies.
It came from Tlorin incanting expressionlessly.
This was a barrier of Divine Power, to prevent Jessica from sneak attacking.
Seeing her actions, everyone was startled!
Still not retreating?
Although the Black Dragon Race was powerful, they met their biggest enemy today, the Mechanical Titan!
With the Mechanical Titan standing there proudly, who would dare to fight it!?
…Besides Marvin, who knew that the Mechanical Titan looked strong but was in fact weak now.
Contrary to what he said, the Mechanical Titan couldn’t go for another round of rolling.
‘I hope we can scare them away.’ Marvin frowned.
The outcome was undesirable. Tlorin was clearly unwilling to let go.
She was very afraid of the Mechanical Titan, but as long as they remained airborne and defended against Jessica’s surprise attacks, she felt that even if she couldn’t kill Robin, she should still be able to destroy Hope City!
She and the remaining three Dragons all hated Hope City to the bone.
“Go!”
“Go around it! Destroy that city!”
Tlorin ruthlessly gave the final command.
The three Dragons no longer hesitated. They spread their wings and split up, attacking from three different angles!
“Woosh!” Jessica flew to the biggest Ancient Dragon, blocking his path forward!
The Ancient Dragon was ready, and both sides were evenly matched.
The second Ancient Dragon was the fastest, and rushed toward Hope City’s wall in a blink!
The people on the city wall cried out in alarm.
The Ballistas were shooting frantically, but the Ancient Black Dragon had the powerful distorting barrier!
These operators had yet to be accustomed with the Ballistas, so they weren’t very accurate, and the bolts were further offset by the barrier.
“Woosh!”
A lot of bolts slid off the Black Dragon’s scales.
“Roar!”
The surging Black Dragon spat out a Dragon Breath!
The Dragon looked at the people cowering in fear and felt proud.
The people watching the fight in the distance grew bitter.
Could this be the end of Hope City?
Jessica was entangled in a fight, and the Mechanical Titan apparently wasn’t flexible enough. Once the Black Dragons scattered and attacked on multiple fronts, Rocky Mountain would be in danger.
The earth-shattering Dragon Breath was flying over, looking like it would melt everything in its way!
But at that time, another seven-colored radiance exploded on the city wall!
Even if it wasn’t as bright as Jessica’s, it was powerful enough.
Fate Sorceress, Protection activated!
Suddenly, three consecutive Barriers descended and covered the entire city!
Chapter 360: Energy Crisis
p>There were three Fate Sisters!
Though Jessica was the most awe-inspiring due to the nature of her Fate Power, after Kate awakened her Protection, her power was just as useful.
4th layer Fate Power, Legend Sorceress!
This kind of strength was enough to enter the ranks of this era’s strongest.
She wasn’t worried about fighting a Black Dragon directly. But protecting a whole city from the attacks of a Black Dragon… This was something that would cause a lot of strain.
The frightening Dragon Breath collided with the layered Barriers.
A great amount of steam appeared as the Barriers seemed to distort!
Kate spread her hands as wind blew around her dress, beautifully showing her curves.
The Black Dragon was extremely angry and headbutted the barrier!
The seven-colored Barriers managed to block the Black Dragon, but even so, all of Hope City shook faintly.
The woman on the city wall spat some blood!
Her eyes reddened, bloodshot!
The impact was really a bit too much for her.
If not for her Protection Fate Power being so formidable, Kate might have already died!
“Sis!” Lorie bit her lip, anxiously looking at her.
She was feeling helpless.
The three sisters had different forms of Fate Power, but hers seemed to be the most useless…
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but mutter, “If only Ding had recovered.”
Since they lost the Fortune Fairy, even though Hope City had developed somewhat, they always seemed to be at a disadvantage.
That prideful and noisy little one always had smart ideas.
Unfortunately, she had yet to awaken.
…
“It’s fine. I can handle him!”
A serious expression appeared on Kate’s face.
She was no longer the same girl who had rushed into Thousand Leaves Forest without thinking.
The encounters she had while looking for the Source of Fire’s Order, Ding’s fall, and all the difficulties during Rocky Mountain’s rise had changed her quite a bit.
Her gradually dimming Fate Power once again brightened.
A powerful force field pushed down out of nowhere, and the Black Dragon staggered, getting pushed to the ground!
“Aaah…!”
The Black Dragon felt like more than five thousand kilos were pressing down, preventing all attempts to push back.
It was as if lead kept falling onto its wings. The Dragon gradually went down and was pressed against the ground by Kate!
This was the strength of Fate Power!
The people cheered.
They looked at Kate’s back and felt at peace.
But Lorie saw that blood was dripping out of Kate’s eyes!
She was using her life force to suppress this Ancient Black Dragon!
…
The people in the distance couldn’t help but be in an uproar.
Rocky Mountain’s Jessica was heaven-defying enough, but now it seemed that there was another of the three sisters who’d had a great increase in strength!
To be able to suppress an Ancient Dragon alone… Even among Legends, such strength belonged at the peak!
Fate Sorceresses really were incredibly abnormal!
Some people couldn’t help but inwardly curse.
There was no lack of Legends hidden there who had lost to Jessica. How could ordinary Legends be a match for a Black Dragon, let alone an Ancient Black Dragon!
But the young Fate Sorceresses could. These favored people made others jealous.
Even so, Rocky Mountain’s crisis had yet to be averted!
Jessica and Kate each took care of an Ancient Dragon, but there was still Tlorin and another Dragon.
Meanwhile, the Titan had apparently stopped moving, and was now standing motionlessly. Who knew what to think of it?
Tlorin’s eyes shone. ‘I understand! The Mechanical Titan’s energy is already used up!’
As a God’s Apostle, she had some knowledge of the matter.
Something as powerful as the Mechanical Titan should also require a huge amount of energy. Those moves earlier must have used up a lot. The Titan’s lack of movement wasn’t because Robin didn’t want to move, but because he couldn’t!
Thinking of this, Tlorin’s heart heated up. “Fly higher!” she shouted. “Let’s destroy that city!”
…
Hearing that, the expression of the people in Hope City changed.
Kate was able to block a Dragon, but what if there was another Dragon and an Apostle?
On the city wall, Fiend Sorceress Daisy brought a group of strangely-dressed people.
There were men and women, old and young, but they all emitted an extraordinary aura.
That wasn’t the aura of Humans.
Sorcerers weren’t pure blooded Human descendants, and thus they were banished.
That said, Marvin, as a Numan descendant, was also a Sorcerer.
This group was the Demon’s Hand Sorcerer squadron of Rocky Mountain!
They were prepared to have a fight to death with the Black Dragon.
They saw how the three sisters did everything they could for Hope City.
They were all a group of banished people who struggled to establish a free country!
Now was the time to contribute.
“Count me in.”
A man with a solemn face appeared in the Demon’s Hand squadron.
He held a sword of light in his hand. It was the Aurora Sword Saint!
After being beaten by Jessica, he unexpectedly fell in love with this incomparably powerful woman.
He was the only Legend from the Pambo Seashore standing with them as the Black Dragons attacked Rocky Mountain.
“Okay!” Daisy agreed. “I’ll send you over in a moment.”
“You better kill that Apostle.”
The Aurora Sword Saint nodded.
He had lost to Jessica, but he was still very powerful.
Although he couldn’t slay a Dragon on his own, he could still pose a threat to an Apostle like Tlorin.
Daisy ground her teeth. “Let’s go!”
The next second, a Teleportation Door appeared in front of the two.
The Aurora Sword Saint and the Fiend Sorceress went in without hesitation!
But then, Tlorin sneered as an amethyst mirror appeared in her hands.
“Aurora Sword Saint? You are meddling in other people’s business. Go back home!”
The Teleportation Door appeared on the Black Dragon’s back. But before the Aurora Sword Saint and the Fiend Sorceress had come out of it, the powerful reflective energy of the mirror shot them toward an unknown location!
The two of them were nowhere to be seen!
‘Teleportation Reflection Mirror?’ Marvin was surprised.
Tlorin was rather well-off, having such a rare treasure.
Although it had no particular damaging effects, it could send threatening enemies away from the battlefield.
Who knew where the Aurora Sword Saint and the Fiend Sorceress were sent to?
What would be waiting for them by the time they got back might the ruins of Hope City.
All the members of Demon’s Hand saw that scene.
They remained determined, glancing at each other for a moment before moving toward the front of the city wall.
All kinds of strange lifeforms were summoned behind them.
All of these summons had considerable magic power and ruthlessly launched a maelstrom of attacks toward the approaching Black Dragon!
Actually, there was no lack of powerful Sorcerers in the Demon’s Hand.
But… Black Dragons had very high resistance to magic!
“Hahahaha!”
Tlorin laughed her head off. She had guessed correctly.
The Mechanical Titan had no energy, and even if Robin had Weeping Sky, what could he do?!
Hope City was bound to disappear.
Kate couldn’t block two Black Dragons alone.
The spells of the Fiend Sorcerers were nothing more than mere tickles to the Dragon.
Even if those Ballistas could pose a threat, their effects were mitigated by Tlorin.
“Sister!”
Tears could be seen in Lorie’s eyes.
If this Dragon also attacked the Barriers, it would harm Kate greatly.
Kate looked as if she hadn’t heard her.
She stood there with one hand suppressing the Ancient Black Dragon and her other hand aiming at Tlorin, who was approaching while riding the last Black Dragon!
The aura on her body became increasingly more frightening.
Her Fate Power was completely ignited!
But the price was her life force!
Kate’s vitality was quickly depleting.
Her eyes were firm, and there was no hesitation.
This was the place she had to protect.
Don’t mention just two Black Dragons. Even if it was a God, she wouldn’t let them past!
However, her sight fell on the Mechanical Titan not far below.
“Is there really no energy left?” she whispered.
…
There really was no energy.
Squeezed in the narrow cockpit, Marvin felt the heat as if he was in a sauna. He was sweating all over!
Strictly speaking, the current Mechanical Titan was practically a pile of scrap!
After the last attack, the energy was approaching the limit, and he could only use one last move.
But there wasn’t enough for Roll Mode and it clearly wasn’t suitable for the situation!
He was waiting!
Waiting for another Battle Module to unlock!
“Faster!”
“Just a bit faster!”
Marvin almost roared in the cockpit.
He saw Jessica fighting the Ancient Dragon, and although she was currently winning, she was still tied up in the fight. He saw Kate using her Fate Power, puking blood because of the impact. He saw Daisy, who he fought alongside before, being banished to unknown place. He was burning with impatience.
But he was at an impasse.
He needed time to unlock Battle Modules!
Seeing the events playing out, Marvin made a decision!
[Interrupting previous Module unlocking. Unlocking Grapple Move!]
Ding!
Another simple move was unlocked.
This was hardly a Battle Module move.
But it was all Marvin could do.
‘Only 8% energy left. After grabbing something there won’t be enough power to do anything else.’
Marvin took a deep breath and resolutely sent the instruction.
Everyone noticed as the originally unmoving Mechanical Titan crouched down!
The machine jumped from the ground, leaving two huge footprints!
The earth shook all around!
The huge body seemed like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey as it was leaping toward that Black Dragon!
Chapter 361: Another One
p>Tlorin’s heart was overwhelmed with shock, but she managed to use a Divine Spell to avoid the Mechanical Titan!
The Black Dragon wasn’t as lucky and was caught!
“Snap! Snap!”
The Mechanical Titan’s limbs locked around the Black Dragon in a firm embrace!
Both of them crashed to the ground!
The earth caved in where they landed, only a dozen meters away from Hope City.
All the onlookers couldn’t help but gulp, impressed again by the Titan’s speed, but also noticing how close they were to Hope City.
Tlorin panicked.
As the Black Dragon was still being bound tightly by the Mechanical Titan, the cockpit of the latter opened up!
A figure crawled out from inside!
Tlorin scrunched her brows as she noticed that long spear.
Weeping Sky!
“Wuwuwu…”
The bound Black Dragon felt the aura of the Dragon Slaying Weapon!
At that time, the spirits of the Dragons killed by the Dragon Slaying Weapon seemed to be floating around, reminding the Black Dragon of how fierce it was.
But besides panicking, the Black Dragon couldn’t do anything else because of being firmly bound, muzzled, and pressed down by the Mechanical Titan.
The Mechanical Titan firmly bound his limbs and head, while his tail was firmly pressed against the ground, unable to move.
Marvin had slightly turned the cockpit to create enough space to crawl out.
Finally, he stood on top of the mass of metal while holding the Dragon Slaying Weapon.
Cheers burst out from Hope City.
“Sir Robin!”
“Dragon Slayer!”
“He hadn’t given up on us!”
Meanwhile, the Black Dragon God’s Apostle floating in the sky didn’t have such a good expression.
She could feel that this guy hiding in the Mechanical Titan was close to being a Legend Powerhouse.
‘If he is deliberately hiding his power… who knows if he is already a Legend Powerhouse.’
Marvin was already standing on the Black Dragon’s head!
The Black Dragon struggled, going all-out trying to break away from the Mechanical Titan, but could only manage to shake a bit.
The Mechanical Titan should be able to keep it bound for at least a few minutes.
During that time, that Black Dragon would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and Marvin definitely wouldn’t show any mercy!
But before he started, he still paid attention to Tlorin’s movements.
He wasn’t hiding in the Mechanical Titan anymore, so he was wary of her Divine Spells.
Tlorin loudly yelled, “Stay your hand! Release the Dragon, we will leave.”
Marvin smiled. “Is this a compromise?”
Tlorin started to say something, but the next second, Marvin jumped hard and the Dragon Slaying Spear in his hand shone frighteningly!
Like last time, Marvin didn’t even need to use any force. The spear burst with a frightening aura and pierced through the Dragon’s scales, viciously passing through the head!
The entire Dragon Slaying Spear pierced through, only leaving a part of the shaft out.
“No!”
Regardless if it was Tlorin or the other two Ancient Black Dragons, they were unwilling to see it happen.
Five Black Dragons came from their nest and attacked one city, but they suffered such a loss.
This was all because of that monster in front of them!
The Dragon under Marvin’s foot whimpered a bit, just before Marvin ruthlessly stomped on the shaft!
The Black Dragon instantly died.
The surroundings went silent.
After a while, one of the onlookers couldn’t help but mumble, “Another one slain…”
Nobody responded to him.
Yes, another Dragon was slain.
This wasn’t a Goblin or a Gnoll.
This was a Black Dragon!
An existence at the peak of the food chain!
Many cities would be frightened at the mention of such a fierce life form.
But Robin had killed no less than four of them!
Of the four Black Dragons, the death of the last one could be considered rather decent. Rather than being torn apart with bare hands or being miserably crushed to death, it died quickly from the Dragon Slaying Spear!
But it was still very depressing, being bound by the Mechanical Titan without being able to resist at all.
From Marvin’s relaxed appearance, it seemed as if he had only killed a small chicken and not a Black Dragon.
“Although he used an external force this time, Robin’s strength is still very fierce.”
“His boldness is also incredible. Is he someone from Rocky Mountain?”
“Apparently not. Someone saw him using Sha weapons. In short, his origins are very mysterious. I heard he was also seen in the Pambo Seashore not long ago.”
“The Mechanical Titan was operated by him. It reminds me of that thing that flew up and seemed to rip apart the sky, too frightening.”
“Yeah, Robin’s recent fame is comparable to that Lord in the east.”
“You are talking about that [Hero Marvin]? The one who destroyed the Decaying Plateau?”
Everyone couldn’t help chatting about it.
Although Rocky Mountain’s fight wasn’t over, Robin’s battle results so far were already enough to make any Legend ashamed.
He killed three Black Dragons so quickly. This was such a big move.
The two Ancient Black Dragons left on the battlefield might be the only two Black Dragons remaining in Feinan.
Those who had enough knowledge about Dragons could tell that these two Dragons just happened to be one male and one female…
If one of them died, Feinan’s native Black Dragon species would become functionally extinct!
This was something unprecedented.
…
In the crowd, two pair of eyes were watching the battlefield.
The two people attentively watched Marvin standing on the Dragon’s head. One of them sighed, “I told you, you aren’t necessarily his match.”
The voice was very gentle and came from Gwyn, who seemed to be giving advice.
Standing next to him was Stephanie from the Dark Side.
The relation between the two was somewhat complex. Gwyn had no feelings for Stephanie, but Stephanie was deeply infatuated with him, to the extent that she even fell out with the Bright Side.
Stephanie was very protective of Gwyn.
Before the rocket ascended, the Pale Hand appeared and Stephanie protected Gwyn, letting him escape.
Afterwards, the two joined back up and were attracted by the Mechanical Titan, so they followed it.
In fact, this place was quite a distance from Saruha. But for them, Half-Legend Vampires, they could manage to come over in a reasonable amount of time if they used their secret skills.
Stephanie shook her head. “His strength is difficult to figure out, but he is the target of my mission. I have to kill him. You seem to understand a lot about him, so how about you tell me some of his weaknesses?”
Gwyn stared at Stephanie. “No way! He is my friend!”
Stephanie smiled gently, not taking offense. She whispered back, “Just a friend? You defend him so much, protecting a human… I’m a bit jealous.”
“I want to kill him even more.”
Although she said the last sentence with a smile, anyone hearing it could feel the coldness within.
She clearly wasn’t joking.
Gwyn angrily retorted, “You want to kill him? Fine, but that is your business.”
“I’ll do my best to stop you.”
An indescribable expression appeared in Stephanie’s eyes, as she suddenly asked, “Did you fall in love with this Human?”
Gwyn almost choked in exasperation!
Soon after, she conceded, “Since he is your sweetheart, I won’t kill him when you are here.”
She had a very sincere expression.
Gwyn simply couldn’t understand that lunatic’s train of thought.
He could only nod in response.
…
Marvin was standing proudly on the corpse of the Black Dragon.
The aura of [Black Dragon Nemesis] spread from his body, causing deep fear in the two Black Dragons, and even in Tlorin.
Altogether, four Black Dragons had been killed!
This was a disgrace to the Black Dragon Race!
The two Ancient Black Dragons glanced at each other and then roared, their shame and anger prevailing over their fear.
The two Ancient Black Dragons broke away from their opponents and pounced fiercely toward Marvin!
“Careful!”
Lorie cried out in surprise!
Jessica stumbled, not having been ready for the Ancient Black Dragon to break away with such speed. And it was the same for Kate, whose strength had been waning as she was blocking the Black Dragon. Now that it wanted to retreat from her, she simply was unable to stop it!
At the most important moment, Kate bit her lip and a bright radiance descended onto Marvin’s body!
This was Protection. It would be able to shield Marvin to some degree!
But facing the Ancient Black Dragons’ claws, this Protection might not be enough.
An angry Black Dragon was extremely frightening.
Especially for a Human being attacked by two Ancient Black Dragons.
Just the Dragon Might would be enough to kill an ordinary person!
But Marvin wasn’t worried about it, since he was immune to Dragon Might.
He was already expecting the two Ancient Black Dragons to counterattack. The next moment, his figure disappeared from where he stood!
He didn’t leave any trace!
Night Boundary!
Dawn was approaching, and Night Walkers’ abilities would soon be restricted.
But for now, everything was still under the rule of the Night Devil Kings.
Marvin went through the edge of the distorting night and appeared behind Tlorin!
Everyone was in uproar. After Robin killed four Black Dragons, he had no plans to escape and chose to keep attacking instead!
He was so bold, this time aiming at the God’s Apostle!
Tlorin had a lot of experience, and instantly sensed Marvin’s intent.
“Want to kill me?” Tlorin sneered.
She stretched her hands down, in a strange position.
In an instant, her body burst with a dark halo.
This halo was filled with the aura of Divine Power. It was a Divine Power Sanctuary of the Black Dragon God!
It seemed Tlorin was a lot stronger than Tess.
But Marvin was still expressionless, slashing down callously with his daggers!
“This is a Divine Power Sanctuary! Your blades simply can’t…”
Tlorin didn’t finish her words as she was slapped in the face by the mournful reality!
The [Azure Leaf]s went through the Sanctuary, not even slowed by the Divine Power’s protection!
50% Divine Restraint activation success!
Night Beheading!
Marvin beheaded her with one slash. He then kicked her corpse and landed stably on the ground.
“Sorry, your God can’t save you,” he said indifferently.
Chapter 362: Rebirth
p>The body of the Black Dragon God’s Apostle was lying on the ground while a light kept flickering around it.
This was a sign of the Divine Spell [Major Regeneration].
But without waiting for the Divine Spell to take effect, Marvin attacked once again, turning Tlorin’s corpse into mincemeat!
Marvin found out that Reckless Dual Wielder’s hidden property was very suitable for dismembering bodies…
The two Ancient Black Dragons froze.
They were intimidated by Marvin’s tyrannical determination. And the death of the Black Dragon God’s Apostle made them lose their motivation to fight.
They looked at each other, feeling the urge to flee.
Only the two Ancient Black Dragons remained out of the five Dragons.
If they suffered another loss, the Black Dragon Race would eventually become extinct in Feinan.
They glared at the man before them indignantly.
The other side had such a formidable escape skill. If he didn’t have the Dragon Slaying Spear, he might not be able to slay a Dragon, but he could certainly still find a way to escape.
Moreover, Jessica had already rushed over and was standing alongside Marvin.
The Fate Sorceress’s radiance illuminated Rocky Mountain.
She took a deep breath, prepared to go all-out.
The 6th Layer Fate Power aura kept rising up as she gathered it. Once it reached its peak, she would even be able to tear a Black Dragon apart with her bare hands!
Just as she did in Marvin’s past.
Fear flashed in the Black Dragons’ eyes.
…
Marvin took advantage of this opportunity to take out the Fate Tablet fragment from his storage item!
Tlorin, like Tess, should also have the Black Dragon God’s Divinity.
Marvin’s False Divine Vessel was already full, so it couldn’t store any more, and the Hellhound wasn’t at his side.
Fate Tablet fragments had always been the key to reach Godhood, so he wanted to see if it could absorb the Divinity.
At that instant, the bit of Divinity that was about to fly to the Astral Sea was instead absorbed by the Fate Tablet fragment.
A majestic lifeforce burst out from the Fate Tablet fragment.
Everyone was attracted to this fantastic scene, including the two Ancient Black Dragons.
They had great knowledge, and were able to recognize that this was a Fate Tablet fragment that had lost its spirituality.
But the fragment’s aura was recovering!
Greed flashed through their eyes.
If they could obtain that fragment, they could potentially ascend to Godhood!
The 3rd Era’s batch of New Gods was formed in this way.
But the situation developed beyond their expectations.
After the Divinity entered the fragment, the part of the Twin Fates Flower representing Order withered completely!
Marvin had a flash of understanding.
The Divinity was only a medium that triggered the Fate Tablet to absorb the Power of Order much faster!
Kate cried out in surprise on the city wall as she noticed Ding’s aura.
But she had to protect the city, so she couldn’t leave and could only watch from a distance.
The fragment in Marvin’s hand melted and then turned into a small halo.
It wasn’t long before a cute lifeform flew out from it.
She yawned. “Wow, didn’t expect to sleep so deeply.”
Soon after, she saw the two Black Dragons and couldn’t help but give Marvin a sideways glance before angrily blaming, “How useless can you be? I gave you five points of Luck and you are still unable to get rid of that female Dragon? And what’s up with the other Dragon at her side?”
Marvin was dumbfounded.
Ding was clearly unaware that the situation had changed. She thought he had yet to kill Clarke…
Jessica was very happy too.
She pulled Ding and grabbed her two fleshy cheeks. “You really revived?”
“Good, good, the feeling is right. These Black Dragons just invaded the territory, he already tore the previous one apart,” she said, not giving it much emphasis.
Many people burned with jealousy when they saw the Fortune Fairy appear!
They’d heard that there was a mysterious Fortune Fairy in Hope City, but they had yet to see it.
Back when Robin tore the Dragon apart, he had done it with the help of the Fortune Fairy.
She had finally appeared.
The most frightened were the two Ancient Black Dragons!
They knew how scary the Fortune Fairy was. If Jessica had the help of the Fortune Fairy, it would be very life-threatening.
The two Ancient Black Dragons fell back.
They flew up, soaring high up in the sky.
But they were unwilling to retreat, apparently preparing something.
The people in the surroundings felt apprehensive one after the other and started looking for cover. What if the two Dragons let out their breaths at them?
Jessica watched the Black Dragons soaring in the sky, carefully studying their movements.
…
During that short time, Ding also found out about her “death” and “rebirth” from Lorie.
She looked at Marvin in a bad mood. “I didn’t expect that you would be the one to bring me back to life.”
“I’m really not fond of you…”
“Forget it… Regardless, you saved my life, so I’ll give you something good.”
She waved slightly and a small light lit Marvin’s finger!
Marvin’s heart moved as he noticed that Ding’s target was the Ring of Wishes.
“I added a luck skill. It can reduce the probability and severity of bad outcomes from [Pixie’s Wish] by about three times,” Ding explained.
Marvin felt very pleased. To be honest, ever since he unlocked the Pixie’s Wish ability, he had only used it once and summoned a Djinn…
He didn’t dare use the monthly Wish afterwards out of fear that he would summon a Demon he couldn’t handle.
After all, Pixie’s Wish was unreliable. It was too random and without a powerful expert near, he wouldn’t dare try it out.
Ding’s luck skill would solve this problem. He would feel much safer trying his luck on the next Pixie’s Wish.
Hopefully he could get something good!
…
The small thing waved her fist. “Hey, we are even now.”
She then disappeared with a “Woosh!” and appeared on the city wall.
Kate and Lorie cried tears of joy.
Especially Kate, who had been greatly affected by her pet’s death.
Now that Ding returned, Rocky Mountain’s strength was bound to increase another level!
Everyone could see that a powerful country was going to be built!
This was destiny’s will, this was the plane’s will!
It couldn’t be stopped!
…
“Those two Black Dragons are still unwilling to let go.”
Jessica raised her head and revealed a cruel smile. “I’ll kill one!”
She was thinking of using her Fate Power, but who would have imagined that a huge silhouette would be flying over from the distance.
That gigantic body was comparable to the Ancient Black Dragons, and a pair of wings spread out through the clouds. Its speed was very frightening!
Everyone looked at that imposing figure in horror!
It was another Dragon!
The onlookers shook their heads. It was getting more and more complicated.
The number of Dragons they saw today was most likely going to be more than what they would see in the rest of their lives.
The people of Hope City had heavy expressions.
If this Dragon also came for the Dragon Slaying Weapon, it would be very troublesome, because if the two Ancient Dragons had another helper, the outcome of the battle would be difficult to anticipate.
Everyone held their breaths, watching that huge silhouette approach.
Only Marvin felt something odd, a familiar feeling.
Soon, the huge monster arrived.
But to everyone’s surprise, the two Black Dragons flapped their wings and flew away!
That newly arriving Dragon slowed down, bringing a wisp of a cloud with him as he slowly descended to the ground.
“Desperate war…”
That huge monster muttered, “I smell filthy Black Dragons.”
The cloud dissipated.
A huge Copper Dragon appeared in front of everyone.
They all understood.
It turned out to be a Metallic Dragon.
Metallic Dragons were the arch-enemies of Chromatic Dragons. This Copper Dragon’s scales looked like they had reached perfection, probably due to him being very old.
“Professor!”
Marvin shouted his name!
He hadn’t expected to encounter the Copper Dragon Professor again here!
This guy’s strength was comparable to Ancient Red Dragon Ell’s. Both of the Ancient Black Dragons together might not be Professor’s match!
No wonder they chose to quickly escape.
…
The Copper Dragon lowered his head, and his eyes blinked. The wise Professor clearly saw through Marvin’s Disguise.
“It’s you?” he asked with doubt and surprise.
Chapter 363: Duel!
p>Everyone was still stunned as the Copper Dragon looked closely at Marvin.
They originally thought the Dragon appeared because of [Weeping Sky].
After all, it was a Divine Weapon that frightened the Dragon Race.
Robin, as the owner, would inevitably be attacked by Dragons.
However, it seemed that they didn’t just guess wrong. They were far off the mark!
This Robin seemed to be friendly with the Copper Dragon.
“Who is that guy in the end! Why was there no word of him before?”
“Yeah, it feels like he came out of nowhere. He killed Clarke with his bare hands first, then got a Mechanical Titan from Saruha, and now it turns out he is even a friend of the Copper Dragon.”
They were all admiring him.
Since the Black Dragons escaped, this war could be finally considered over.
In fact, after Marvin and the Copper Dragon said a few words, the latter transformed into a Human and accepted Marvin’s invitation, entering Hope City as a guest!
Some who saw this scene felt even more terrified.
The onlookers gradually dispersed.
All of them had this feeling that Rocky Mountain would rise abruptly!
…
Marvin was surprised by Copper Dragon Professor coming by and scaring off the two problematic Ancient Black Dragons.
But this was the best outcome.
If the fight kept going, Marvin’s life might have been in danger.
After all, fighting off two Ancient Black Dragons would not be an easy task.
Professor had only been passing by, but when he caught the scent of Black Dragons, he flew over to take a look, which scared the Black Dragons away. Marvin could see some regret on his face.
As for the Dragon Slaying Spear’s aura, he naturally felt it.
However, the Copper Dragon ignored it. Although this lethal weapon had slaughtered some Metallic Dragons, it had only killed a few.
Most of those killed by it were Chromatic Dragons or other Evil Dragons.
The reason behind it was very simple. Dragons tended to be lazy and isolated, especially the metallic Dragons. They stayed in their own territories and rarely wanted to be disturbed.
Only the Chromatic Dragons sometimes pillaged cities, thus becoming known and getting targeted by the holders of the Dragon Slaying Weapons.
Professor didn’t mind Marvin using the Thousand Paper Crane to store away the spear and the Black Dragon’s body.
What really interested him was the Mechanical Titan!
He slowly circled around the machine many times, gasping in surprise and muttering a few words of praise.
The Copper Dragon had always been interested in novelties, and became even more interested after hearing that this Mechanical Titan had effortlessly slaughtered two Black Dragons.
Unfortunately, the Titan’s energy had been used up. Marvin tapped into the last bit of the reserves to move it outside Hope City.
In any case, until Marvin found a new power source or a way to recharge the energy, this Mechanical Titan could only stay there and become a protective symbol for Hope City like the Source of Fire’s Order!
This made Professor rather regretful.
…
After clearing everything up, they started discussing.
Professor had a good opinion of Marvin.
Back when Marvin passed through the mirror world, he was only a 1st rank Ranger!
After a short few months, he was already close to becoming a Legend.
Although the Copper Dragon didn’t have access to lot of information, he still heard about the major events.
Especially the destruction of the Decaying Plateau, which greatly increased his favorable opinion of Marvin.
Marvin knew that the Copper Dragon hated Evil Spirits, considering them this world’s filthiest things. Getting rid of Diggles caused the Copper Dragon to have a whole new level of respect for Marvin.
Marvin was happy to maintain a deep friendship with the Copper Dragon.
He was not only friendly and witty, but he would also be a powerful ally against the Gods and evil lifeforms after the Great Calamity.
At the same time, he was also a wise teacher, bringing up his own recommendations for Marvin’s current situation. “Your bloodline strength… There are a lot of things mixed in, and although they can raise your strength in the short term… It’ll also suppress your own potential.”
“You became a Night Walker? This is a very powerful inheritance. I think you should have your own Legendary Advancement Manual, and intend to advance to Legend.”
“Train your basic skills well. Your Blade Techniques shouldn’t stay at Master level, and your body has room to grow.”
“Oh, I see… You actually reached the Godly Domain. It is very difficult to break through this bottleneck without ascending to Godhood.”
The discussion between the two was very casual, as if they were two old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.
Marvin calmly and bluntly told Professor, “I won’t become a God.”
Professor nodded in praise. “I won’t control your choice, but I’d say you are right.”
“Look at those Gods. What is the difference between them and prisoners? They will forever be marked by this plane and universe. They will go crazy sooner or later,” he said meaningfully.
Marvin was slightly surprised.
Professor was a lot wiser than he imagined.
He actually knew some mysteries about the Gods… He was worthy of being called an Ancient Dragon powerhouse.
There were some powerful existences in Feinan who had some understanding of the Gods.
After discussing various things with Marvin, Professor was ready to leave.
He was planning to leave for the southwestern wilderness, an area even more desolate than Rocky Mountain!
He didn’t specify the reason, but once he found out that Marvin was about to leave for the Dead Area, Professor muttered irresolutely for a bit and then wrote a letter, handing it over to Marvin.
He had an old friend who had been living in the Dead Area for many years and he hoped Marvin could deliver the letter for him.
Of course, he wasn’t expecting Marvin to run errands for free. His old friend would certainly give Marvin a generous reward.
Marvin looked at the address and shook.
It was actually Xunshan Monastery.
‘Could Professor’s old friend be that one?’
Marvin held the letter with a happy expression.
…
After handing over the letter, the Copper Dragon left Hope City.
At Marvin’s suggestion, he left in a very ostentatious way. Under the morning light, he turned back into a huge Dragon and spread his wings over Hope City before leaving.
Many saw this scene.
The gloom of war had finally been lifted from Hope City.
Some people would go clean up the battlefield. Those two crushed Black Dragons were relatively worthless and Marvin was now rich, so he didn’t care about that pile of flesh.
He discussed with the three sisters, mainly about the matter of the girl with Holy Blood being pursued by the Dark Side.
The three sisters were righteous and were moved by the girl’s fate. When Marvin asked if Hope City could temporarily host the girl to prevent the Dark Side from taking her away, the three unanimously agreed.
Rocky Mountain was a place where all kinds of races mixed in. There wouldn’t be discrimination against a Vampire.
Marvin himself was leaving for the Dead Area and couldn’t take care of the little girl and her foster mother for now, so entrusting her to the sisters was the safest way.
Jessica urgently went to recover Daisy, and this matter would be hers to take care of.
The Fiend Sorceress’ Teleportation ability was very powerful and even if she was chased by a Dark Side Vampire, they would still be able to escape.
And with Kate Protection defending the city day and night, even if Dark Side Vampire sent Legends, they might not necessarily succeed.
Marvin wrote a letter as a token for Daisy so she could seek the Wood Elves in Ruins City.
As for himself, he found a safe corner to rest.
Night Walkers’ nocturnal fighting habits had affected his sleep. He would sleep during the day and handle everything during the evenings and nights.
Lorie and Kate seemed to have something to tell Marvin, but he was way too tired after everything that had happened, so after hesitating a bit, they left.
…
Late at night, a shadow slipped away from Hope City.
Marvin moved gracefully and crossed the city gate, heading southeast.
This time, he was going back to the City of Knowledge to complete his quest.
Mark 47 had given Marvin the quest to look for his memory chip. Marvin found something similar and didn’t know if it was the thing Mark 47 wanted.
Taking advantage of the fact that he still had time before leaving for the Dead Area, he decided to give it a try.
If it was successful, he would get a generous exp reward!
Marvin needed a lot of experience right now!
Under the moonlight, Marvin entered the darkness as if he was fusing with the night.
He didn’t move very fast, but he kept a strange rhythm, making him hard to detect.
But at that time, he felt a chill appearing from behind.
Marvin squinted.
Shadow Escape!
“Woosh!”
He vanished, but that chill didn’t disappear and followed him closely instead!
Marvin snorted coldly, stopping on a sandy dune and turning while slashing!
The Azure Leaf let out a beautiful arc under the moonlight.
“Clang!”
Two blades met each other!
A power suppressed Marvin and he felt a sharp pain on his wrist. He couldn’t help but take a step back!
The attacking shadow gradually transformed, revealing a surprised expression. “Your Perception is pretty high.”
Marvin smiled coldly without responding.
The newcomer was the Pale Hand, Sky!
In fact, in the day after the fight with the Black Dragons, Lorie noticed a few powerful existences in the crowd who had enmity toward Marvin.
Marvin paid attention carefully at the time and discerned some traces of Pale Hand Sky.
That guy chased him all the way to Rocky Mountain and was unwilling to let go!
But since Marvin knew, he would of course be on guard.
In fact, he had asked the Copper Dragon to leave in such a noticeable manner in order to lure the Pale Hand out.
He also made arrangements before leaving Hope City.
A few Fiend Sorcerers cast some buffs to his Perception before he left!
His Perception had now temporarily reached 20 points, high enough to detect the Pale Hand’s sneak attack.
“So what if your Perception is high?”
Sky looked disdainfully at Marvin. “You aren’t a Legend and without the Mechanical Titan, you are nothing!”
“Tell me Gwyn’s whereabouts immediately.”
“Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?” Marvin sneered.
Sky raised his long dagger and licked it. “You’ll find out that coming here was your biggest misfortune.”
He couldn’t have expected that Marvin would suddenly laugh very loudly.
“What are you laughing at!” Sky was very angry.
Marvin smirked and shook his head. “I’m laughing because if I didn’t want to duel you to hone my skills, you would already be dead.”
So what if it was a Legend? Marvin wouldn’t spare him!
Moreover, this was Rocky Mountain’s domain.
Not far away, three faint silhouettes could be seen.
The three Fate Sisters… they appeared quietly, watching the scene from nearby.
Sky’s face turned green.
He grew furious.
A guy who couldn’t even be considered a Half-Legend actually dared to challenge him?
“You are too arrogant!”
“Even with the Fate Sorceresses, if I want to leave, they won’t be able to stop me!”
“As for you, you don’t deserve to duel me!”
Sky conceitedly declared, “I’ll let you understand that ordinary people like you can’t even look up to the Legend Realm!”
The Azure Leaf in Marvin’s hand was pointed as Sky as he calmly asked, “How would you know without trying?”
Chapter 364: Legendary Showdown!
p>Marvin’s attitude completely infuriated the Pale Hand.
The Legend Realm was something that almost everyone had to look up to.
Even if Marvin had some weird tricks, he still wouldn’t be a match for a Legend.
Because once someone advanced to Legend, they would obtain many incredibly powerful specialties.
These specialties were mostly passives, but they would play a very important role in battle.
For example, when Marvin and Sky previously crossed daggers, Marvin went all-out while Sky merely slashed probingly, but their attacks more or less had the same strength.
But Marvin still felt some pain in his wrist.
This was the strength of those who reached the Legend Realm.
It was something unalterable, practically part of the plane’s laws.
In Feinan there were many known cases where the weak defeated the strong, like a 3rd rank beating a 4th rank. But mere “mortals” wouldn’t challenge a Legend!
Sky was angry, not only because Marvin helped Gwyn escape, but also because Marvin stole the prize he wanted in Saruha… And now he was even provoking him!
And so what if the three Fate Sisters were there?!
Every single Legend was extremely proud. As an expert Vampire of the Dark Side, Sky felt that he could kill Marvin and then easily escape.
Even Fate Sorceresses shouldn’t be able to stop him if he sincerely wanted to escape.
This was Sky’s plan.
Marvin smirked, brandishing his daggers in a taunting manner.
Sky, with his confidence in his strength as a Legend, wouldn’t even need Stealth, attacking skills and other methods. And Pale Hand was the fiercest melee Legendary advancement class for a Thief. Even if the enemy was a Ranger, he wasn’t worried in the least!
In an instant, daggers flashed on the lonely dune!
The two were experts with their daggers and they immediately felt how strong the other side was!
‘That guy has certainly reached at least Master level in his Blade Techniques!’
Marvin was startled.
It seemed that Sky’s confidence wasn’t without reason. He had definitely worked hard on his Blade Techniques.
This actually corrected Marvin’s misconception of the Dark Side. In his mind, the Dark Side was a group that would do anything for more power, always taking shortcuts and rarely training their skills.
But Sky clearly wasn’t one of those.
His Blade Techniques were unusually fierce. It felt like he had broken away from all standard Blade Techniques and made his own.
Vampires originally had greater speed and physical capabilities than Humans. If not for Marvin having Godly Dexterity as a foundation, he likely would have already been slashed to death by Sky!
Despite this, he was still in a troublesome situation.
The Pale Hand’s unpredictable skills were hard to defend against. After merely ten exchanges he was already at a sizeable disadvantage!
He was pressured by every single attack.
This wasn’t due to the difference in attributes, but rather due to the overpowered advantages of the Legend Realm.
Marvin felt the power of the Legend class!
Fortunately, he knew what skills Pale Hands had and responded properly with his Night Walker skills to avoid Sky’s lethal attacks.
But he was hovering on the border between life and death every time.
The other side didn’t seem to have higher Dexterity or Strength, but Marvin was still suppressed by Sky in every way.
This made Marvin feel a bit dejected.
This was the suppression of the Legend Realm. The Pale Hand probably had several more battle specialties than him, so keeping up for this long was already admirable.
Marvin didn’t use his Shapeshift Sorcerer or Battle Gunner abilities. First, these two subclasses wouldn’t be enough against that Legend, but more importantly, he wanted to temper his Blade Techniques!
Marvin’s usual plan would have been to seek the aid of the three sisters, lure the Pale hand over and then gang up on him…
He normally would never have chosen a duel!
He would always use external help when he could!
As long as he fulfilled his purpose, who cared about the process?
This line of thought wasn’t wrong, but after his discussion with Professor, Marvin felt that his strength had been restricted by this tendency.
For example, after his Blade Techniques reached Master level, he didn’t progress much further.
Although he had trained with straight daggers in his previous life, with his natural talent, he shouldn’t stop at this level. He could feel that just as Professor said, his classes still had a lot of potential.
Whether it was as a Ranger or a Night Walker, he still had potential for growth.
Although Shapeshift Sorcerer and Battle Gunner could raise his strength in the short term, they wouldn’t contribute much to his fighting strength’s upper limit once he reached the Legend Realm.
He would ultimately be relying on the Ranger and Night Walker classes, and he would advance to the greatest rogue class, Ruler of the Night!
If he gave up on training his skills because of his sub-classes it might lead to his foundations being unstable.
Even if he had a system, this was a real world, and his tricks might not always work.
Thus he changed his plan this time.
He decided to ask the three sisters to support him and guarantee his safety while he dueled the Pale Hand!
Naturally, a non-Legend challenging a Legend directly was like courting death.
The buff given to him by the Demon’s Hand Fiend Sorcerers would ensure that his Perception would temporarily break through 20 points to get the threshold effect.
That way, he could defend himself from the sneak attacks of the unpredictable Pale Hand, helping to make the fight fairer.
He was using Sky as his own whetstone.
He hoped that his Blade Techniques would break through after this fight.
The previous breakthrough was because of the confrontation with the Heavenly Sword Saint.
He needed a true expert to “help” him, even if the other side was unwilling.
…
“Clang!”
Under the light of the full moon, a shadow quickly streaked across the sky over a sandy dune, splitting into six shadows.
Sky rushed at Marvin from six different directions, a sinister expression on his face. “Drop dead!”
For him, not being able to kill Marvin in ten exchanges was a disgrace.
At that time, he no longer held back and went all-out with his battle skills!
The six shadows were extremely fast. Even though Marvin used Shadow Escape and Night Boundary, they still chased after!
‘Those are not just shadows!’
‘They’re real doppelgangers, and all of them have considerable strength!’
Marvin was in a pitiful state as he was chased down, covered in minor wounds with blood flowing continuously.
Fortunately, Rangers had a lot more Constitution than Thieves, and Marvin even had the [Endurance] specialty. That specialty made it so that his combat effectiveness wouldn’t be inhibited by the pain.
He could still react at the fastest speed. With Godly Dexterity, Marvin could still resist!
One versus six!
But Marvin fought back! At an opportune moment, he used Shadow Step out of nowhere and swung behind him.
“Slash!”
His dagger slashed an empty spot, instantly splitting Sky’s doppelganger in half!
At that time, Marvin seemed to have understood something.
Up until now, his fighting techniques purely consisted of killing techniques. He rarely used linked blade techniques. He almost always focused on honing his ability to get that one fatal blow.
But this was the Thief’s path.
His experience as a player was a big help to Marvin, but this time he was a Ranger and a Night Walker.
His Blade Techniques seemed to be flawed. Besides killing skills, he didn’t have anything to combo together. His basic movements, even the way he blocked, were all done in the posture of using straight daggers, which came from the game’s basic training camp for the Thief class.
It could be said that he was a Master in Blade Techniques, but in another sense, it could be said that he wasn’t using curved daggers properly.
‘I understand!’ Marvin realized.
He suddenly understood why Professor gave him the letter and made him deliver it to the Dead Area’s [Xunshan Monastery]!
Because Professor had noticed these issues!
…
Marvin had cut down a shadow, but this was a battle to death!
Sky’s original fury went through the roof after one of his doppelgangers died, but how could he let go of the ensuing opportunity?
He noticed Marvin’s distraction and almost cut his throat!
Fortunately, Marvin’s battle instinct was outstanding. He used Night Boundary once again and escaped from the five doppelgangers!
However, this was his last use of Night Boundary tonight!
This specialty had a usage limit!
Sky encircled Marvin again, so that he was facing the joint attack of five skilled Pale Hands.
…
Not far, the three sisters had worried expressions on their faces.
Although Marvin promised them it would be fine, that was still a Legend!
Despite Marvin continuously creating so many miracles, it was very difficult to believe that he could kill a Legend in a direct fight!
Yes, Marvin lured Sky here simply to use him for training.
He wanted to personally eliminate that Dark Side Vampire Legend.
Otherwise, even if he left for the Dead Area, Jo wouldn’t be safe in Hope City because of her Holy Blood.
“You should just help him.” Ding came out from some corner, looking disdainfully at Marvin. “Men… Do they only care about their reputation?”
“He obviously isn’t his match, but he still wants to show off.”
Lorie blinked repeatedly and said with a serious face, “Ding, you are wrong. Marvin is definitely able to kill that Vampire.”
Ding paled. “I must have slept for a long time. When did you stop calling him [Sir Marvin] and start calling him just [Marvin]?” She then pouted, “I already knew that Marvin guy wasn’t any good…”
Lorie’s face reddened. “Hey, can you focus on the important part?!”
Ding looked as if she hadn’t heard her. “I shouldn’t have given him that Luck…”
The three sisters felt speechless.
…
On the sandy dune, the besieged Marvin took a deep breath.
‘Legends are really powerful.’
He firmly held onto his daggers before letting out a smile. ‘But this won’t change the outcome!’
The next second, a strange aura burst forth from Marvin.
A faint halo spread out from his forehead, emitting gray rays of light.
Chapter 365: Beheaded!
p>On the sandy dune in the cold night, the five doppelgangers had a change of expression when they were touched by the dull gray light.
“What is this ability…” Sky muttered in a heavy tone.
He originally thought he could handle a 4th rank class holder very easily.
But he sensed danger from the aura suddenly emitted by Marvin.
He discovered that all his Legend specialties were suppressed!
He sized up Marvin carefully, studying his body’s changes.
Suddenly, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “How could it be?”
“Half-Legend!?”
…
Sky wasn’t startled for no reason. When he first met Marvin, he had seen through his real strength.
Without a doubt, back when he snuck into the Wolf Spider mercenaries’ group, Marvin was at Level 18.
In the Pale Hand’s mind, Marvin should still be at that level.
But after cautiously using Inspect again, he was shocked to find that Marvin was already standing at the gateway to Legend rank!
Level 20 Half-Legend!
Marvin smirked.
Thanks to the fight with the Evil Spirits in Saruha he reached Level 19, and for killing the Theater Spirit he received another chunk of experience.
The three tragically dying Black Dragons gave him an additional 60000 battle exp.
All that together with a bit of general exp was enough for Marvin to level up his Night Walker class again!
Thus, before leaving Hope City, his Night Walker class reached level 8, giving him the following levels: Level 9 Ranger – Level 8 Night Walker – Level 6 Shapeshift Sorcerer!
His total level was 20. One more step and he would become a true Legend.
With Marvin improving so quickly, no wonder it startled the Pale Hand.
The natives of this world didn’t know about his [Essence Absorption System], with Mark 47 being the only exception.
He was shocked by Marvin’s progress, but what unnerved him even more was that halo Marvin used.
Level 8 Night Walker skill, [Dark Halo].
…
Marvin took the time to carefully study the Night Walker skill list after reaching Level 7.
Level 7 Night Walkers didn’t have any particularly strong skills to unlock, but at least he could still check his next level’s skills and see if there was a good one waiting for him.
He found out that upon becoming a Level 8 Night Walker he would gain access to a very powerful skill, Dark Halo.
And since he still had 36 SP untouched from before, he directly spent 50SP on that skill once his Night Walker class reached level 8.
[Dark Halo (50)]
[Requirements: Night]
[Duration: 10 minutes. Usable once per day]
[Effect: Weaken enemies’ passive battle specialties to a certain extent.]
[Hidden effect – Legend Weakening (50 SP): When facing a Legend, weakening effect increased by 10%]
…
In a battle, weakening enemies was as useful as buffing oneself.
When Marvin saw this skill’s description, he immediately decided to upgrade this halo ability.
This was an AoE (Area of Effect) skill that would weaken every enemy in the Dark Halo’s range.
This was what Marvin had prepared to win despite being at a disadvantage, and it was one of his most important cards to beat a Legend as a Half-Legend!
One of the biggest issues when facing a Legend was overcoming their powerful passive specialties.
Now, in the Dark Halo, Sky’s powerful specialties would be weakened to a certain extent, and the gap between the two was not that big anymore.
Moreover, when it came to attributes, Marvin was actually a cut above him.
He had the 30 points Godly Dexterity!
In the previous exchange, Marvin felt that Sky’s Dexterity was around 28 and had yet to touch the bottleneck!
It was very difficult for a native to increase an attribute to the Godly Domain.
This was one of Marvin’s biggest advantages.
With the Dark Halo active, Marvin’s superiority could finally be displayed!
The next second, he rushed toward a Doppelganger, striking out!
Sky sneered, “You think that halo is enough to beat me?”
“Truly naive.”
The Dark Halo could only decrease the gap between both sides and wouldn’t let Marvin win. In Sky’s eyes, this wouldn’t change the outcome of the fight.
But the next exchange made the Pale Hand frown.
He previously had his overpowered specialties at full effect, so Marvin’s moves and blade techniques didn’t seem so fierce.
Now that his specialties were being suppressed, Marvin’s strong points could finally stand out.
His speed was incomparable, and his daggers were like lightning.
Sky was careless and lost another Doppelganger to Marvin!
He was fighting one versus four and didn’t seem to be in a difficult situation like before. Although he still seemed to be at a disadvantage, he had a lot more opportunities to counter attack instead of only being on the defensive.
This made Sky’s heart sink.
That guy was a Half-Legend and was already able to contend with him…
If he advanced to Legend, Sky might not be able to handle him at all!
He felt cold, looking toward Marvin with an even more murderous gaze.
At that time, he decided that regardless of the relationship between Marvin and the three sisters, he definitely needed to get rid of that dangerous guy while he was still a Half-Legend.
“Woosh!”
The four shadows merged as Sky said with a gloomy face, “I won’t play with you, kid.”
“Drop dead!”
His right foot kicked the ground as he rushed forward, slashing toward Marvin!
That move was not only strangely fast, but its power was also extremely fierce!
Sky’s true strength could be seen after merging with the doppelgangers that he created.
He didn’t intend to give Marvin any chance. Marvin simply couldn’t dodge that attack!
Even with the Dark Halo weakening the enemy!
Sky smiled cruelly.
He looked completely sure that Marvin would end up as a corpse on the sandy dune.
But Marvin was still incomparably calm.
Facing the Pale Hand’s powerful attack, he chose to receive it, aiming his [Azure Leaf]s at Sky!
Burst!
He thrust his daggers forward like bullets.
He looked as if he was disregarding his own life!
Marvin didn’t use any defensive moves at all, his daggers rushing toward Sky’s vitals!
“Want me to die with you?!”
The Pale Hand was surprised.
Marvin’s imposing manner almost made him choke, but he still sneered, believing that Marvin’s plan had no chance of success!
Because the initiative was in his own hands.
He was certain to kill Marvin in one blow!
…
In a flash, they reached each other.
The Pale Hand’s blades were like thunder, and his speed was incredible.
He easily blocked Marvin’s [Azure Leaf]s with his left dagger.
His right wrist shook and his long dagger slashed furiously toward Marvin’s abdomen!
A sinister expression appeared on his face.
This was a skill that could definitely split Marvin in two!
‘Wanting to take me down with him… Too funny…’
That thought flashed through his mind when suddenly, a crystal clear sound echoed out!
“Clang!”
His long dagger didn’t leave a wound on Marvin’s abdomen, seeming to have hit something incomparably solid.
A shining layer appeared on Marvin’s skin.
Sky was shocked that such a powerful slash only left a mere scratch on Marvin’s body!
This was impossible!
‘This is… [Diamond Body]!’
“How could you have a Legend Monk’s ability?”
Sky paled.
But only an ice cold dagger answered him.
Marvin had given up on defending, taking that attack in order to create his own opportunity!
[Azure Leaf] being blocked was just as he’d intended.
As Sky’s attack struck, Marvin’s weapons moved like snakes and abruptly went past Sky’s defenses, taking advantage of his surprise.
Marvin was glittering all over. At that time he wholeheartedly focused on attacking!
Sky was frightened, and used all his strength to block!
But this was already too late.
Marvin had used his Shapeshift Sorcerer’s Unbreakable Diamond Body, giving him eight seconds.
What could be done in eight seconds?
It was enough for the current Marvin to do at least thirty slashes.
His daggers’ powerful attributes were prominently displayed along with the bonuses from Reckless Dual Wielder. Sky was caught off guard by Marvin’s onslaught!
At the 11th slash, Sky’s left dagger shook and was shattered!
After losing a dagger, he tried to get away with an escape skill.
He kept flickering and disappearing.
But Marvin had already seen through it for a while.
The temporary Perception buffs weren’t there for nothing. He immediately chased after him!
It was still a melee battle, and they were still ruthlessly attacking each other.
At the 23rd slash, Marvin fiercely slashed down, wounding him and almost cutting him in two!
Sky had neither Marvin’s unbreakable body nor his Fatal Injuries Immunity. That blow almost killed him!
Marvin’s two daggers flew nonstop. He had to make the most of the eight seconds of his Diamond-shape!
“Clang!”
At the 31th slash, Sky’s remaining long dagger flew out of his right hand.
Fear flashed through his eyes as he intended to turn into a bat and escape.
But Marvin didn’t let him.
[Night Beheading (50)]!
“Woosh!”
The shadow streaked across the sky and fell on the Pale Hand’s neck as he died full of grievance!
A Legend fell!
…
On the sandy dune, Marvin let out a long breath. His body returned to normal before immediately sinking into a serious state of exhaustion and he couldn’t help but fall to the ground.
When he advanced to Level 8 Night Walker, he used his remaining points to upgrade Night Beheading, letting this powerful attack skill reach 50 points.
50 points in Night Beheading gave it the strong hidden effect, [Decapitation], which greatly increased the success rate of Night Beheading.
With the suppression of the Dark Halo, Marvin finally took the chance and did a thunderous slash.
Strictly speaking, this was the first Legend he killed himself!
“Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!”
Three silhouettes flashed over. The three sisters arrived beside Marvin, looking at his situation.
But Marvin suddenly heard a mechanical sound from far in the distance.
Marvin looked and froze.
‘Slaughterer!’
It had actually chased him over!
