LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 120-124
Chapter 120: Roaring Beast!
p>”How did his strength suddenly recover?”
“Yeah. He was clearly in critical condition earlier. How come after taking a fall, he not only woke up, but is also moving fine again?”
“How is he running so quickly? Heavens! Is he going to challenge that completely unscathed Celina?”
In the Three Towers, everyone was shocked as they watched Marvin run!
They had thought that the outcome of the Battle of the Holy Grail was already decided. Marvin and Wayne had no strength left after all.
The two fell in a hole in the ice. Their situation was very miserable.
Despite that, the brothers’ display of toughness in this competition sincerely convinced the majority of the audience.
But in the end, it was a competition.
In the eyes of the majority, even if Celina didn’t act, she would still become the winner of the Battle of the Holy Grail!
The Wizards of the other two towers had shaken their heads, sighing.
“Damn. It’s the Thunder Tower once again, it’s always like this!”
“Although Leymann is an upstanding Wizard, he still cares a lot about every Battle of the Holy Grail, doing his best to create an opportunity for his apprentices, tsk…”
“Yeah, if that Marvin hadn’t met that Guardian right off the bat before being chased by the Gemini, maybe Magore Academy’s brothers might have won the competition.”
But their sighs were unable to change the outcome of the competition.
The referees in charge of the competition weren’t Wizards from the Three Ring Towers but enforcers from the South Wizard Alliance.
According to the rule of the competition, if Marvin and Wayne didn’t move for 30 minutes, they would be considered inactive and disqualified.
Just as those enforcers were about to take a magic carpet to fly into the snow mountain, Leymann’s strict voice echoed beside their ears:
“The competition isn’t over!”
Not over?
The few enforcers froze.
One of them took out a crystal ball and through the shared magic screen, ended up noticing that Marvin, who had been unconscious, had actually jumped out of the hole!
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes!
‘Is there a mistake?’
‘He’s this lively already? This guy’s constitution clearly wasn’t great. Surely even a Barbarian wouldn’t be able to recover that fast?’
Everyone was puzzled.
However, Marvin’s previous miraculous performances already made them somewhat used to it.
Taking liberties with a Guardian, violently killing a Gemini, and now recovering from such a bloody state was also not too strange to believe!
…
In the Thunder Tower, veins were throbbing on the angry Lohart’s forehead.
He hadn’t thought that his carefully picked Gemini would be defeated!
That was a monster able to kill 3rd rank class holders. If not for his clan’s high level Wizards using a slave contract on it, he wouldn’t dare take it out.
Marvin was merely a level 7 Ranger surprisingly managed to get rid of a Gemini.
This completely overturned his understanding of Rangers.
‘Damn, those teachers were completely bullshitting me. Saying that Ranger was a trash class, a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none, very mediocre.’
‘Seems like they completely misled me. What tutor? South Wizard Alliance’s most prestigious scholar… Ptui! When this heir returns, I’ll ask my father to fire these old swindlers!’
‘Ranger is clearly a very powerful class!’
Marvin’s performance greatly twisted that Unicorn Heir’s worldview.
He had always stayed in the family headquarters, training on Crystal Island Before he came to the Three Ring Towers, he had few contacts with the outside world.
Though he wasn’t a Wizard, he was an expert in swordsmanship, and his knowledge was taught by the best teachers of the clan.
As he trained his swordsmanship, he naturally looked down on Rangers that used curved daggers. Before today, he had always thought Rangers were the kind of dejected people sleeping and eating in the wilderness, having dishevelled hair and covered in bugs. This was what his teacher had taught him.
And from a certain point of view, it wasn’t wrong.
He had met a few Rangers on his way and they were all rough good for nothings.
This made him look down on his dead younger brother who was actually killed by a Ranger. What has he been doing all these years in the Three Ring Towers? Was he training his magic, or was he playing around with women?
Before the start of the competition, he was still considering whether using the Gemini was making a big fuss over nothing.
But when Marvin crazily cut the Gemini into mince meat, he was thoroughly stunned.
Those frightening daggers’ shadows, he knew he wouldn’t be able to block them!
Even Lohart himself was already a Fighter on verge of entering 3rd rank, and the advancement was only a matter of time.
But he was still frightened by Marvin’s fierce and awe-inspiring dagger skills.
It was to the extent that he actually sighed in relief when Marvin lost consciousness.
When the brothers fell in a hole in the snow field, he couldn’t help but cheer, making the surrounding people roll their eyes at him.
But…
What happened next almost made Lohart collapse!
Marvin recovered and jumped out from the hole, fiercely charging toward Celina!
That expression, that movement, Lohart already couldn’t accept it!
‘Everyone says that Geminis are monsters! But isn’t that guy the true monster!?’
If there weren’t people nearby, Lohart would have been unable to stop himself from roaring!
He originally had great confidence in Celina and the Great Winter Wolf.
But it didn’t look like much now.
He had a bad feeling.
This Marvin was simply outrageously strong!
Marvin was the true winner of this Battle of the Holy Grail!
This thought gave him a sense of defeat.
“Immediately contact the clan. Say that the estimation of Marvin’s strength was mistaken. He was able to kill the Gemini and has at least the strength of a 3rd rank!” He grabbed one of his followers and growled in a low voice.
The latter swiftly went to work.
An influential clan like the Unicorn clan naturally ways to communicate quickly.
The clan would soon send a stronger expert to kill Marvin!
Lohart calmed down a bit as he thought of this.
Kate came back at that time.
“I am sorry for leaving just now. How is the competition going?” she asked with a smile.
Lohart forced a smile. “Looks like my people’s luck was a bit bad…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Kate comforted. “Luck isn’t something people can control.”
Ding in Kate’s embrace couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice:
“But an adorable Fortune Fairy like me can…”
…
At the bottom of the slope, a cold gale passed by, cutting like knives across Marvin’s face.
He didn’t feel the slightest bit of pain.
Celina coldly watched Marvin rush toward her.
She didn’t know what happened to the Gemini but she had confidence in being able to defeat that guy!
Because she had the strongest class, Wizard!
And there was the Great Winter Wolf protecting her. She didn’t believe Marvin would be able to reach her through waves of wolves.
Although Marvin had madly rushed over, the young Great Winter Wolf had already managed to summon many wolves before he arrived.
More than 200 wolves had already gathered next to them, their green eyes coldly glaring at Marvin.
Many more wolves were on their way to join the pack!
“You are screwed!” Celina murmured.
She pet the head of the Great Winter Wolf Cub.
The latter immediately let out a long howl!
In an instant, all the wolves moved together.
That scene was simply too frightening!
Fighting one lone wolf wasn’t too terrible.
But a wolf pack was utterly scary.
They were born soldiers, and under the command of the Great Winter Wolf, they actually grouped together to form something looking like a square shaped formation.
This wasn’t a wolf pack.
This was an army.
Even if their average level was 3 to 4, there were enough to rip apart any 2nd rank class holder!
Even if a Wizard met so many wolves, it would be a major headache.
The wolf pack rushing, the earth trembling, the sharp wind blasting!
The audience silently looked at this scene.
Marvin was like a lone reef standing against a wild tide.
No, not a reef, because a reef was motionless while Marvin actually charged toward the wolves!
He greeted the waves of wolves alone, and started the assault.
Indomitable!
This was the word in the mind of the audience.
This was a real fighter!
This was a real… Man!
His two daggers, and even Marvin himself, moved as if they were flying!
He collided with the wolf pack!
He then waved his right hand, but didn’t hit a wolf.
The next instant, a frightening flame erupted in a circular area in front of Marvin!
[Blazing Fury]!
This was the powerful spell that Marvin had been holding onto all along.
At long last, he used it.
After the flame ignited the fur of the wolves in front of him, the pack formation suddenly turned chaotic.
The flames burned on the snow, and howls of grief could be heard from among the wolf pack.
Such a tragic scene was rarely seen!
The blaze of fury was burning across a wide area, and the Great Winter Wolf constantly howled to try to calm the wolves burnt by the fire.
A lot of wolves began to roll about in the snow, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies.
And the wolves coming from behind were thus obstructed.
The wolf pack was in chaos!
…
“Turns out he still had a spell like this!”
“Blazing Fury was perfectly used. This guy is obviously not a Wizard, but his control of magic isn’t inferior to Wizards.”
“Where did Baron Marvin go?”
Everyone watched attentively the flame covered scene, trying to locate any sign of Marvin.
At this time, a tall shadow appeared on the magic screen!
That shadow was growing at a speed visible to the naked eyes!
“Roaaar!”
A loud roar echoed through the snow mountain.
After Blazing Fury, Marvin rushed into the wolf pack. He put all his belongings away into the Void Conch.
The next second, he activated the active specialty [Boundless Shapeshifting]!
Shapeshift!
This time, he chose a Beast-shape!
His body swelled up instantly, turning into a three meter Asuran Bear.
He felt strength coursing through his body.
Those wolves had become completely insignificant in his eyes!
He swiped in front of him, making more than ten wolves fly away!
In the fire, the wolves howled in grief as Marvin began to savagely roar!
The slaughter had just begun!
Chapter 121: Asuran Bear
p>Asuran Bear!
A creature of the Astral Plane. In the legends a branch of the Numen signed a mysterious contract with this race, thus receiving the ability to shapeshift into bears!
This was a creature with the build of a peak 2nd rank hero!
Strength and Constitution exceeded 20 points. Even though Dexterity was lower, it was still at 15 points.
Most importantly, even though the Asuran Bear had only one skill, [Intimidating Roar], its body was highly resistant toward magic!
Most spells could even be ignored.
As for physical damage, that bear was covered in fur as hard as steel that was very difficult to break through. Even if it was somewhat inferior to the Gemini’s skin, it wouldn’t be torn by those wolves in front of him.
This was Shapeshift Sorcerer’s first type of Shapeshift!
Beast-shape.
Before Shapeshifting, Marvin already knew he would turn into an Asuran Bear, so he unhesitantly charged toward that wolf pack!
Because even if the wolf pack was frightening, once they were thrown in disorder by Blazing Fury, it would be trivial for the Asuran Bear to take wreak havoc on them!
Shapeshift Sorcerer’s Beast-shape didn’t only have the Asuran Bear’s shape. As the Sorcerer advanced, even more powerful creatures would become available.
This was a Shapeshift Sorcerer’s strong point!
Marvin’s only regret was that a Shapeshift Sorcerer’s awakening was very random. This time for instance, he had only awakened part of his bloodline, thus only receiving part of his Shapeshift Sorcerer abilities.
This meant he could only raise the Sorcerer level through battle experience, to level 5 at most. Advancing from there would rely on providence.
In other words, a Shapeshift Sorcerer’s awakening and advancement were a bit like relying on fate.
Despite this, Marvin was already very satisfied. Shapeshifting into an Asuran Bear already completely made up for the previous flaws in his ability to be a front liner.
He was crazily stomping forward in the wolf pack, his four limbs his most powerful weapons!
“Bang!”
A palm slap directly sent two wolves flying, landing 10 meters away in the snow field.
“Boom!”
His foot stomped down, turning a wolf into meat paste. His fur, bones and the melting snow combined made it look like chili con carne on flatbread.
The 3 meter tall Asuran Bear was very frightening, his sharp claws tougher than curved daggers and his paws even more powerful.
Wolves were howling here and there in the blaze while Marvin kept reaping forward!
It really felt too amazing!
Even if these wolves jumped, they couldn’t even scratch his neck.
He could fight completely casually.
He could forget all his careful preparations, all his plans and strategy. It was a pure contest of strength, making him feel incomparably wild!
“Roaarr!”
The Asuran Bear’s roar spread through the snow mountain.
Marvin dove forward, his huge figure landing impactfully, before rolling on the ground.
A wolf was crushed.
The weight of something like an Asuran Bear was at least several tons!
This was totally a live tank!
In this world of fire and ice, a vicious slaughter had just begun.
The formerly domineering wolves were being thoroughly destroyed!
…
In the Three Ring Towers, the audience were totally speechless.
Some people with bad hearts no longer dared to look at the magic screen.
Today’s competition could only be described as having a surprise at every corner.
Just when everyone thought Marvin and Wayne were completely hopeless, Marvin jumped out once again and shocked everyone!
The people who felt worried about Marvin’s charge were now happily standing up!
“Turns out Baron Marvin is a Druid!”
“Yeah, a very big bear. Those wolves look like insects in front of him.”
“So powerful! Truly powerful! Our Wizard’s strength was completely overshadowed in this Battle of the Holy Grail.”
“Celina might not necessarily win!”
Everyone was discussing spiritedly.
They stretched their neck upward to get a better look. Even if their neck felt sore, they didn’t dare to miss anything.
Because today’s competition was really too amazing.
Marvin’s powerful display thoroughly conquered the audience.
Lohart’s complexion was deathly pale.
‘As expected, this Marvin is a complete monster!’
Ranger, subclass Druid? He wasn’t a fool. Was there such a strong 2nd rank Druid in this world?
That damn Marvin had the strength of a 3rd rank Druid right?
Kate at his side actually looked very calm.
When Ding blessed Marvin, she had already noticed his hidden Shapeshift Sorcerer bloodline.
And Ding told Kate.
This had increased Kate’s favorable impression of Marvin by a bit.
Maybe the reason was the feeling of sympathy for being fellow Sorcerers suppressed by the Wizards.
But she sighed in relief when she heard people on the side mistaking Marvin for a Druid.
After all, Sorcerers weren’t really liked by Wizards.
…
“Druid?” Hathaway in her Ashes Tower sneered disdainfully, “If Druids were that powerful, the Twin Snakes Cult would have already been exterminated.”
Naturally, she was able to see through Marvin’s mystical Shapeshift.
It made her remember her Seer specialty.
She had also been on that kind of path after all.
‘Seems like that boy wasn’t just talking big, he really had great confidence in winning the Grail.’
‘Ashes Tower has never won a Battle of the Holy Grail before. Won’t I appear stingy if I don’t reward him properly?”
Thus, this young beautiful Tower Master began worrying about the reward for Marvin’s victory.
…
The fire gradually died out on the snow mountain.
The wolf pack scattered.
The huge body of the Asuran Bear proudly stepped out of the blaze.
Celina watched that scene, extremely shocked. She couldn’t accept what happened!
‘How could this be?’
‘This guy, how could he be so strong? He is only a Ranger, how could he suddenly turn into a huge dreadful bear!’
But she didn’t get much time to think, as Marvin had already charged once again!
He couldn’t stay in Beast-shape for too long, so he had to make every second count.
Asuran Bears can stand on their lower limbs when fighting.
But when running on four limbs, their speed was even faster!
He bolted forward like a madly rushing elephant!
The ground and snow for five meters around him shook incessantly.
He instantly thundered up the slope!
Celina barely managed to recompose herself.
‘I still haven’t lost!’
‘I still have spells!’
She took a deep breath and brandished her dazzling golden magic staff, aiming it at the madly rushing Marvin.
1st-circle spell – Ice Cage!
A few icy fences began materializing around the body of the Asuran Bear, before being crushed by Marvin.
“Snap!”
Those few fences shattered into pieces.
Control spell ineffective!
Celina clenched her teeth and chanted once again.
1st-circle spell – Odin’s fist!
In an instant, a huge clenched fist made of Force Magic appeared in Marvin’s path.
The Asuran Bear silently knocked his head against it!
The huge fist disintegrated on impact, disappearing into thin air.
Force spell ineffective!
Panic flashed through Celina’s eyes.
But suddenly, the Great Winter Wolf let out a roar, his body suddenly swelling up!
He grew quite tall compared to his original small build!
Without Celina’s permission, this Great Winter Wolf dashed forward regardless of the danger.
This was the pride of the Great Winter Wolf.
Everyone was someone moved. This Great Winter Wolf cub really had a kingly temperament.
He resolutely revealed his teeth and claws, charging into the Asuran Bear.
A trace of hope suddenly rose in Celina’s heart.
Maybe I can still win!
…
All of the spectators watched this scene extremely nervously. There was way too many reversals today. Could the Great Winter Wolf’s strange transformation restore Celina’s morale?
On the magic screen, the Asuran Bear and Great Winter Wolf wildly charged at each other.
One wolf, one bear. Meeting face to face!
Afterward, the bear threw a slap… And killed the wolf.
Indeed, only one slap!
The audience members were shocked silly!
They saw it very clearly. When both sides met, the Great Winter Wolf jumped high, trying to bite Marvin’s neck.
But unfortunately, Marvin raised his large paw and slapped it onto the ground, as if swatting a fly.
This frightening power directly put the wolf into a near death state!
Marvin didn’t stop moving forward after that and directly stepped on his body.
His movement seemed very pleased and happy.
In the spectators eyes, it even felt a bit enjoyable!
But the Great Winter Wolf who was trampled under his body didn’t feel the slightest positive emotion.
He was directly crushed!
Celina gasped!
The Great Winter Wolf was regarded as a king among beasts. With time, it could turn into a Legend creature. But this Great Winter Wolf was just a cub.
The pitiful young animal had only been born six months earlier.
It was sent by the Unicorn family to Celina as a present a week earlier. Celina’s ambition was to raise it into a frightening Magic Beast that would shake all of Feinan!
Then it was slapped to death by Marvin.
…
Everyone was left speechless.
Too overBearing!
At the same rank, maybe only peak Assassins could be able to deal with the Asuran Bear!
Class advantages was still very important.
Celina’s spells were resisted by the Asuran Bear, she had already lost!
…
On the snow slope.
“Wait!” Celina suddenly shouted.
The madly rushing Marvin stopped his footsteps and said in a muffled voice, “Are you conceding?”
Celina took a deep breath, her eyes were full of ambitions.
“No, I want to make a deal with you.”
“You and your brother concede, let me have the Grail and win the competition.”
“Afterwards, you can have all of me, and I’ll do everything for you.”
She then made an enticing pose.
Marvin slowly walked to her side.
Expectation filled Celina’s eyes, “One Witch at your service, don’t tell me it’s not tempting…”
She didn’t finish her sentence before her field of view suddenly turned dark.
“Crash!”
Marvin ruthlessly slapped down, turning her into meat paste.
He mumbled while slapping:
“Something is wrong with you…”
Chapter 122: Ancient Red Dragon’s Awakening!
p>Celina died!
She died in such sullen way just like her pet Great Winter Wolf.
Marvin’s slap seemed as fast as lightning. Even if Leymann wanted to save Celina’s life, he had no way to do it!
Moreover, the Battle of the Holy Grail had always been a very ruthless competition.
The winner would not only receive the Holy Grail, the supreme symbol of glory, they would also receive many rewards, including the Three Ring Towers’ and their respective Academy’s rewards.
Most of these rewards were obviously for Wizards.
All of the competitors in the Battle of the Holy Grail were ready to die.
Both sides were already in an irreconcilable relationship. Marvin killing Celina was completely understandable.
The dust settled!
What remained wasn’t ruthlessness, but just an adorable bear. The audience shook their heads inwardly.
You really can’t judge based on appearances in this world. An Asuran Bear had a lovely appearance, but that wolf’s death was still fresh in everyone’s minds.
That was simply a slaughter machine!
The competition had already ended. The winner this time was the perpetually losing Ashes Tower.
All the spectators were moved. They then congratulated the people of the Magore Academy one by one.
Magore Academy’s teachers also felt like they’d gained face. Especially Hanzel, who had wanted to strangle Marvin during the competition; he now had a whole new level of respect for Marvin.
This kid was indeed skilled!
Worthy of Wayne having so much trust in him.
No wonder Dame Hathaway treated him favorably.
Just as everyone were getting ready to welcome the Battle of the Holy Grail’s winner, someone suddenly yelled.
“Wait!”
“It’s not over yet!”
Everyone immediately turned toward the magic screen.
After just a glance, everyone was startled!
They only saw a large number of shadows appearing.
Snow Demons.
….
Marvin’s battle with the wolf pack shook the ground too much.
The whole mountain had been alarmed.
After the wolves ran away, another group of monsters came stalking.
They were Snow Demons and a Snow Demon Leader!
The nest Marvin had cleared earlier wasn’t the only nest in this mountain. On the contrary, there were countless Snow Demons on this mountain.
These Snow Demons were prepared for the 2nd rank Wizards’ Battle of the Holy Grail.
But they were startled out by Marvin’s thunderous movements.
They slowly approached under the leadership of a Snow Demon Leader.
The Asuran Bear stood on the snowy slope, giving out a sense of loneliness!
…
“No way! Don’t tell me this Battle of the Holy Grail will finish with all the competitors dead, without any winner?”
Someone among the Wizards let out a surprised yell.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have faith in the Asuran Bear. It’s just that there were too many Snow Demons.
When the numbers reached a certain level, personal strength would become very useless.
The condition for the victory was very simple, to grab that Holy Grail.
Even if you killed all the other competitors, it would be of no use.
These monsters were also part of the Battle of the Holy Grail.
“We must trust Baron Marvin!”
“He’ll certainly create another miracle!” a noble young lady stood up and firmly said.
The others also stood up one after the other, watching the magic screen attentively.
On the magic screen, Marvin the Asuran Bear was extremely calm.
He only looked at those waves of Snow Demons approaching and lowered his head.
The next instant, he raised his head and opened his mouth!
…
“ROOOAAAARRRR!”
A roar containing a powerful mystical power spread through the snow mountain!
The snowy slope kept shaking, but thankfully the mountain had been magically enhanced or else it would have lead to an avalanche!
[Intimidating Roar]!
The Asuran Bear’s only skill.
It also was a very large AoE Intimidation skill!
Hearing the roar, all the Snow Demons stopped moving.
Some Snow Demon that were too close collapsed into a pile of snow after failing the willpower check!
Many more Snow Demons were frightened and began running away, screeching!
That group of Snow Demons immediately went wild.
This also included the Snow Demon Leader which displayed a extremely pained expression.
Their minds turned chaotic, as some directly collapsed into snow, and some began killing each other!
But most still barely managed to stay clear-headed and fled while shrieking in fear.
Marvin had only roared.
Countless Snow Demons collapsed.
In less than a minute, there weren’t any living Snow Demons on the slope.
All the surviving Snow Demons had fled to their cavern.
The originally quiet snow mountain became even quieter!
…
The spectators could only see the image on the magic screen, and couldn’t hear the sound.
But they felt the shock.
A roar directly shattered hundreds of Snow Demons!
Moreover, it defeated the Snow Demon formation and made them voluntarily escape.
How overbearing!
Everyone was convinced by the astonishing strength Marvin had displayed.
There would obviously be someone raising the question:
“The strength displayed by Baron Marvin is on par with 3rd rank class holder! Is he really level 7?”
This question was soon answered.
And by none other than Wizard Leymann!
“There was no issue with Baron Marvin’s registration for the competition. He truly is level 7.”
This caused an uproar!
The person that raised the question felt rather stupid.
He would have never expected that his careless question would actually be answered by Leymann himself!
This Wizard who rarely appears in public actually treated Marvin favorably?
In the end, who is this Marvin!?
This question lingered in everyone’s mind.
…
On the snow mountain, Marvin regained his ordinary shape.
Shapeshift Sorcerer is really too powerful.
Having such power at just the first rank, no wonder Feinan’s other races were naturally afraid of Numen!
Even if the increase in strength would be relatively random, it would be able to crush other classes at the same level.
It was this point that made people rabidly envious. Unfortunately, this was a bloodline, so envy would never get it for you. Only by gathering blood from some forbidden experiment and then using it in an evil ritual to change their own bloodline could someone possibly become such a Sorcerer. But the failure rate for this method was extremely high!
After Shapeshifting for the first time, Marvin not only felt his body become rather weak, but his Beast-shape option also became grayed out.
This meant he wouldn’t be able to use the ability again in the short term.
Although Shapeshift Sorcerers were extremely strong, they had quite a lot of restrictions. For instance, after using Shapeshift, they had to let some time pass before they could use it again.
The cooldown period was unknown, so Marvin could only find out by fumbling about.
Moreover, there was still the Shadow-shape. Marvin intended to test it, and it surely wouldn’t be too weak.
…
After the Snow Demons retreated in fear, Marvin went to find Wayne. The latter was still unconscious.
He hurriedly carried him on his shoulder and slowly moved toward the summit!
Though he had help from the Thunder Fairy Boots, this whole journey up was very difficult!
His constitution was ordinary, not to mention all the stamina that had been used when Shapeshifting into the Asuran Bear.
And climbing a mountain was a very strenuous matter, especially in the snow.
It took him no less than an hour to reach the summit while carrying Wayne on his back!
Finally!
He tiredly gasped. Wayne was still unconscious. He hurriedly took out the keys and inserted all six in the keyholes.
The Dissociation spell instantly faded away!
Marvin sighed in relief. He took a step forward and grabbed the Magic Grail!
He instantly heard countless whistles and cheers.
The spectators in the three towers all applauded the brothers’ performance!
Marvin pulled Wayne up with one hand while carrying the Holy Grail in the other.
The name of that Magic Grail was [Lance’s Holy Grail]. It had quite a lot of powerful abilities.
Such as the [Rejuvenation] spell!
Marvin used Rejuvenation without hesitating. Wayne gradually regained consciousness thanks to the powerful spell.
“Brother?”
“We won?” Wayne noticed the Holy Grail and smiled happily.
“Yes, we won.” Marvin gently said.
Wayne stood up and hugged Marvin, extremely excited!
They finally won!
…
“Snap!”
The first rate wine glass in Lohart’s hands was dashed against the ground.
His anger had boiled to the point that he was unable to keep his calm in front of Kate.
‘He won like this!”
‘This… is a loss!”
He gnashed his teeth while looking at the two brothers on the magic screen. He almost went mad from anger!
His failure to complete the task would lower his value to the clan and his place among the heirs.
How could he not be angry?
On the contrary, Kate at his side was exceptionally calm. She gently looked at Marvin and Wayne and finally superficially remarked, “That was a wonderful competition, thank you for your invitation. I’ll head back.”
Then she directly left without paying any more attention to Lohart.
Lohart shook his head. How could he still think about picking up girls at this time?
He had to find a way to cope with the clan’s fury!
At that time, that follower ran back.
Lohart’s eyes shone. ‘Did the clan answer that fast?’
He was about to ask, but the follower urgently said in a low voice, “A disaster is happening!”
“A volcanic eruption happened not far from Crystal Island, it apparently woke up a dormant red dragon!”
“That red dragon is currently going all out against Crystal Island! The clan asks you to go back!”
What? Volcano? Red dragon?
Lohart only felt his head spinning and his sight went dark. He suddenly fainted.
…
On the summit, the two brothers had obtained the Holy Grail.
A teleportation door appeared in front of them. But who could have thought that Hathaway would suddenly appear!
Everyone was in an uproar! The Ashes Tower’s Master personally came to welcome them. This wasn’t something that would happen to ordinary winners.
Hathaway didn’t have time to say anything before a frightening dragon’s roar was heard far away in the East, echoing through half of Feinan.
Even Leymann’s incomplete plane was affected due to it being opened!
Everyone felt dread from the bottom of their heart!
That roar was full of evil power. People with weak willpower would faint from fear!
Marvin was startled!
That Ancient Red Dragon has finally awakened?!
Chapter 123: Shadow Prince, Legend Monk!
p>Everyone in the Three Ring Towers, and even all of the East Coast was panicking.
They simply didn’t understand what was happening!
The Wizards were solemn. They might be able to perceive something, but due to divination magic losing effectiveness, they were unable to specifically find out what had happened.
Even the Three Ring Towers’ Legend Wizard Leymann was solemn and perplexed.
Hathaway who had just exited her Teleportation Door also looked toward the East.
As a Seer, she had some special abilities!
“Red Dragon…”
“I wonder if it’s an Elder Red Dragon or an Ancient Red Dragon!”
“Such power, Crystal Island might not be able to keep defending against it!”
Hathaway mumbled to herself. Her eyes were vacant, as if she were looking through time and space, watching the bitter struggle happening on Crystal Island!
Marvin’s heart sank. The emergence of the Ancient Red Dragon was a sign that the world was becoming more and more chaotic.
Even though that dragon would destroy his enemy, the Unicorn clan, it would also wreak havoc on the East Coast!
From that point on, the East Coast’s inhabitants would no longer be able to feel that tranquil sense of security.
An Evil Dragon, the plague spreading, the Twin Snakes Cult’s human skin kite!
Fear and blood everywhere. No one was able to protect themselves.
The disaster was imminent.
…
Hathaway was currently in a trance, looking far away towards the East Coast.
Marvin suddenly noticed something strange.
The sun’s orientation in Leymann’s incomplete plane was somewhat different.
Hathaway’s shadow seemed a bit too long based on where she was standing.
‘Hold on…’
Before Marvin could say anything, Wayne pulled him and said with a voice full of panic, “Brother, that monster has come!”
‘Monster?’
Marvin’s brain worked very fast, as he instantly grabbed Wayne and yelled, “Hathaway! Dodge!”
Hathaway was suddenly startled.
Marvin went so far as to call her directly by her name without using any title. It showed that the situation was truly serious.
The next moment, her shadow quavered and a frightening man emerged from it!
He was hiding in the shadow, wearing a cloak.
He had just left the Shadow Realm with that step.
The dagger in his hand was called [Nightfall].
If someone was hit by [Nightfall], their body would receive twelve different curses. Even gods would be cursed.
Nightfall only had one master! He was the most active during the Great Calamity, the creepiest god, The Shadow Prince!
The Shadow Prince appeared behind Hathaway at lightning speed, Nightfall ruthlessly aiming at her head!
But Marvin’s warning shout was effective.
Just as it was about to be dangerous for Hathaway, she tore her necklace.
Her body instantly turned into nothingness.
The dagger pierced through her but didn’t injure her!
Before the Shadow Prince could act again, Leymann’s voice echoed in the sky.
“You actually dare to try to assassinate Hathaway in my plane!”
“Glynos, you have guts!”
Six streaks of lightning appeared out of nowhere.
Legend Spell – Lightning Cage!
Purple lightning wrapped into a cage, firmly sealing the Shadow Prince!
“Tssk, a mortal dares to call me by my name.”
“You weren’t on my kill list and could have lived a few more years, but now, hehe. Just wait for your assassination, day and night.”
Glynos was smiling when suddenly, he completely disappeared on the spot.
The Lightning Cage was unable to keep him sealed!
He directly escaped into the Shadow Realm.
Hathaway instantly became corporeal again, her complexion deathly pale. She immediately stood in front of Marvin and Wayne, carefully checking her surroundings.
She was worried the Shadow Prince would take it out on these two.
She extended her arms and wrapped the three in a strong barrier.
“Rest assured, he can’t hurt you in my plane.”
Leymann also appeared on the snow mountain summit.
But his expression was also uneasy.
Catching the attention of a god was a very troublesome matter.
Especially if it was the kind that would kill before asking questions like the Shadow Prince.
“He ran?” Hathaway couldn’t help but ask.
She still hadn’t become a Legend, so she was simply unable to participate in the battle against the Shadow Prince.
If not for Leymann helping, she might have been harmed.
Marvin’s heart sank.
History was gradually changing after all.
Hathaway getting the Book of Nalu earlier was definitely noticed by the Shadow Prince.
He was afraid of Hathaway’s abilities as a Seer and had already thought of killing her. But in the game, she wasn’t assassinated until after becoming a Legend.
But now her rank had moved forward a few spots in the kill list because of the Book of Nalu.
That was why he appeared today!
This guy must have hidden for quite a while, waiting for the chance to make a certain kill.
For a god’s avatar, killing a Half-Legend was very simple.
If not for Wayne’s warning and Marvin quick reaction, Hathaway might have already died!
If not for Leymann coming to help, Glynos might have succeeded!
That really was too dangerous.
“Immediately return to your Ashes Tower!” Leymann solemnly told Hathaway.
She would be the safest in her Wizard Tower.
Hathaway nodded. She gathered Marvin and Wayne closer and was about to use a Teleportation Door when that shadow once again appeared in front of everyone!
But this time, it seemed like he was forced to appear!
…
“Woosh!”
The air vibrated and Shadow Prince Glynos once again appeared on the snow mountain summit.
He awkwardly fell on the ground!
It felt as if someone knocked him out of the Shadow Realm.
They were all very startled.
Then, a tall man slowly walked out of the void.
His upper body was naked and he was wearing a simple pair of pants.
His muscles were bursting with power, possessing a sort of beauty.
This was a Monk!
A Legend Monk!
“It’s actually you, Inheim.” Leymann seemed to know that person.
The Legend Monk walked out of the Shadow Realm and calmly landed on the snow mountain summit.
Marvin clearly noticed those two black boots which let him travel freely from the Shadow Realm to the Thunder Tower’s Master plane.
Legendary item [Void Boots]!
And this equipment also let him walk in the air!
Inheim didn’t say much, charging toward the Shadow Prince instead!
“I hunted down this despicable god because of the death of my friend Anthony!”
“Glynos, no matter where you go, I’ll chase you to death!”
“For you, I gave up on my vow. I put on the Void Boots, you won’t be able to run away from me!”
Each word of the Legend Monk was calm but powerful, directly echoing in their hearts.
The Shadow Prince Glynos fiercely stared at Inheim. He then turned around, once again escaping into the void.
And Inheim’s boots also activated, letting him go through the void and vanish!
…
Hathaway was looking at Leymann, worry in her eyes. The latter calmly assured, “I already turned off the magic screen.”
“No one saw that assassination attempt of the Shadow Prince.”
“These two children also won’t be at much risk. Glynos is busy assassinating us Legends, he wouldn’t put a hand on them.”
“What’s more, he has already been targeted by Inheim…”
His hadn’t finished talking when the air shivered once again!
Marvin’s eyes shone.
This was Monks’ signature skill, [Quivering Palm]!
The space twisted and a huge shadow spread out as Glynos appeared once again!
He seemed in an even worse shape this time, spitting blood on the snow from the hit!
Inheim walked out of the Shadow Realm once again.
“Today is the day you die!”
…
Marvin hid behind Hathaway, erased his breath and attentively watched Inheim’s tall silhouette.
He had some impressions of that Legend Monk!
It was said that his advanced class was Guardian Monk. He and Anthony, as well as a few other Legends, formed the [Alliance of the Seven Orders]. This was an organization to protect Feinan. Each member was a powerful Legend in charge of defending an area, ensuring evil forces wouldn’t spread.
Anthony was in charge of the East Coast.
And Inheim was the protector of an area in the West!
This guy was very powerful! His physical body was already immortal, the bane of assassins.
It was said that he made a vow when he stepped on the Monk’s path: He wouldn’t use worldly things during his lifetime.
His clothing was the most simple, and he lived the simplest life. His willpower was frighteningly resolute.
Even if a Legendary item was put in front of him, he wouldn’t blink.
Because that wasn’t among his ambitions.
But this time, he renounced his vow in order to chase the Shadow Prince!
The Void Boots were originally a Legendary item from a Great Druid in the north. It was probably borrowed by Inheim.
The Shadow Prince came and went as he pleased. No one could chase him, and pursuers wouldn’t be able to defeat him.
But there was Inheim. This Monk just happened to be the natural predator for the Shadow Prince’s avatars.
Even Nightfall was unable to break through Inheim’s [Immortal Body]!
The only issue was that the Monk couldn’t cross the Shadow Realm, and was unable to fly.
But Inheim wearing the Void Boots could undoubtedly firmly restrain Glynos!
Marvin remembered that Inheim killed at least 4 avatars of the Shadow Prince in the game!
He eventually died to the Shadow Prince’s trap. That was because Glynos requested the help of other gods. They worked together and got rid of this righteous Monk’s defenses before erasing him from the surface of Feinan!
Inheim’s death was an enormous blow to Feinan, and lead to a great amount of evil forces appearing in the west.
“Hehe, you can kill my avatar today, but tomorrow I can use another avatar.”
“Does all your hard work hold any meaning? Hahaha…” Glynos mocked.
Glynos’ avatar had a few shattered organs due to Inheim’s Quivering Palm, and began to constantly vomit blood.
But he kept laughing all along. No one was able to clearly see his appearance because he was wearing a cloak and a mask.
This laugh was too frightening.
But Inheim still firmly walked up, grabbed Glynos by his collar and then sent a palm to his head!
The next instant, the Shadow Prince’s avatar broke into pieces!
“However many times you come is however many times you’ll die.”
“As long as you so-called gods set foot on Feinan, I’ll send you back.”
“Filthy creatures, how do you dare call yourselves gods?”
Inheim’s voice was steady as a mountain.
Chapter 124: Gods’ Agreement
p>Thus, that Shadow Prince’s avatar was shattered!
The Legend Monk’s frightening strength could clearly be seen.
Obviously, Inheim’s strength reached the peak of Feinan. He had definitely surpassed level 30, and wasn’t a simple Legend.
His voice let people feel at ease.
The death of the Shadow Prince’s avatar made everyone there sigh in relief.
“Glynos is becoming more and more savage,” Leymann solemnly said. “Isn’t he afraid of other gods taking advantage of his main body weakening after losing an avatar?”
There was some doubt on Inheim’s face.
These Legends naturally would communicate with each other. But even though Hathaway had foreseen the destruction, they hadn’t realized that the new third generation gods had already reached an agreement!
Only Marvin was aware of the contents of this agreement due to the game!
…
The agreement was to attack the Universe Magic Pool at all costs!
The Universe Magic Pool was Feinan’s barrier, but it also was the cage of many gods. The first three generations of Ancient Gods realized that their avatars could easily descend on the world through the Universe Magic Pool because they were originally born in Feinan. But most Ancient Gods had already gone dormant by the third era. Some had fallen.
And the rise of the third era’s New Gods was due to the strength of the Fate Tablets which successfully granted them Godhood!
At that time the Wizard God Lance opened up the outer layer of Heavens to them, allowing them to create their own Divine Kingdoms.
These powerhouses who had originally emerged from Feinan’s various races left Feinan in high spirits and began to happily focus in establishing their Divine Kingdoms.
But when they finished, they discovered with great shock that they had been tricked by Lance!
That passage in the center of the Universe Magic Pool was tightly sealed after they left.
In other words, the 3rd era’s New Gods couldn’t descend on Feinan anymore!
The sealed Universe Magic Pool was covering Feinan along with its surrounding wild regions. The New Gods seemed trapped in the heavens. Developing their followers would be very difficult!
This was because they couldn’t use their holy powers in the mortal world. Even if they secretly managed to enter Feinan through some special means, they would be found and stopped by the Wizard God.
Even after the Wizard God left, they still couldn’t do anything.
There was still a group of Legend powerhouses in Feinan. That group of Legends wasn’t inferior to the gods. The reason they didn’t become gods was simply because they didn’t get a fragment of a Fate Tablet.
Moreover, many among them were actually qualified to become gods, but they took it upon themselves to defend Feinan and didn’t leave like those New Gods.
Before Lance left, he had clearly said, “Those who became New Gods through the Fate Tablet fragments must not enter Feinan.”
This made all the New Gods extremely gloomy!
They had been plotted against by the Wizard God!
Lance tricked them into going to the heavens, but didn’t let them come into contact with Feinan’s mortals. This was like being in prison!
The Wizard God also didn’t completely eradicate them, still leaving them a chance of survival.
He opened some secondary planes for them. These secondary planes were derived from Feinan: Feinan’s Hell, Abyss, and Underworld planes.
There were all kinds of races on these secondary planes, but they weren’t as prosperous as Feinan.
At the beginning, even though the New Gods complained, they could only comply and fight over territories and followers in these secondary planes, suppressed as they were by the Wizard God’s power.
After a long time, and especially after the departure of the Wizard God, the third era’s New Gods began to turn restless.
They wanted even more power, even more followers!
And the power of faith provided by living creatures was the most suitable.
If they could enter Feinan… Then these New Gods’ strength would drastically strengthen.
But these desires weren’t enough to turn those New Gods crazy.
Wizard God Lance’s influence still lingered after all. No one knew the extent of Lance’s power and temper. If they broke the rule, what if Lance came back?
And there was still that Eternal Dragon appearing and disappearing unpredictably!
It was the Wizard God’s closest companion.
That dragon was as strong as the Ancient Nature God, Ancient Elven God, and other powerful gods. And he could instantly appear in Feinan from a distant higher universe.
Due to these factors, Feinan was calm for many years.
The Universe Magic Pool slowed the New Gods’ growth while also guaranteeing the Wizards’ Rule.
Up till the end of the 4th Era.
A frightening fire was lit.
There was a rumor that began to transmit through the Divine Kingdoms.
The 4th Fate Tablet!
The one who acquired it would have the same power as the Wizard God.
The New Gods were frantic.
They mutually agreed that they had to use everything to break the Universe Magic Pool!
These New Gods had already left Feinan for too long. In their eyes, the lives of Feinan’s living beings already completely had nothing to do with them.
They had forgotten their own origins, and only thirsted for stronger power.
The shattering of the Universe Magic Pool might cause a disaster, but they hadn’t cared about it from the start.
Moreover, in the midst of great troubles, the ignorant common people would suffer, giving up all hope.
And at that time, their faith would gain more followers. The power of faith the gods received would be even more generous!
…
“Regardless. I won’t allow him to keep harming Feinan’s Legends,” Inheim solemnly declared. “Among those who reached godhood in the 3rd era, only Glynos can send his avatar due to that artifact. Regardless of their plan, as long as I keep track of Glynos, there shouldn’t be too much trouble.”
Hearing this, Marvin couldn’t help but sigh gloomily, ‘If only…’
The reason Glynos the Shadow Prince jumped around like that was naturally to weaken Feinan’s Legends through assassination. But the most important reason was to attract the Legends’ attention to himself.
Everyone would be worried about the Shadow Prince assassinating them and no one would pay attention to the Universe Magic Pool surrounding Feinan!
Marvin wanted to tell them this point.
But he ultimately stayed silent.
Because he knew that saying it wouldn’t change anything. The Universe Magic Pool was bound to be shattered and the New Gods’ avatars and divine souls would successively enter Feinan!
From that point, chaos would be everywhere, various churches would rise, Wizards would thoroughly fall, and evil forces would spread.
In all of Feinan, there wouldn’t be one place left untouched.
It was to the extent that time would be messed up after the Heavenly Beast invaded, and everything was linked to the fall of the Universe Magic Pool.
…
Inheim left, going to look for that Great Druid in the north. After the loss of Divinations, it seemed that only that Great Druid’s Divine Spell from the Ancient Nature God could accurately predict the time and location of the next descent of the Shadow Prince’s avatar.
This Legend Monk was truly preparing to spend his time chasing the Shadow Prince.
Hathaway returned to the Ashes Tower with Marvin and Wayne. The Shadow Prince’s avatar was exterminated for the time being, letting her feel relieved.
Leymann once again turned on the magic screen and announced that the winners of the Apprentice Battle of the Holy Grail were the brothers, Wayne and Marvin.
And the 2nd rank competition would be pushed back for the time being due to the Emergency in the East Coast. This made the spectators somewhat regretful.
But they were also content after seeing such an amazing Apprentice competition.
Quite a lot of people were very interested in Leymann’s “Emergency” and soon, every intelligence organization quickly went to work.
Not long afterwards, every power in the East Coast was shocked!
An Ancient Red Dragon had blatantly attacked Unicorn clan’s Crystal Island!
When did evil forces became so savage?
At the same time, the Three Ring Towers announced that they were on alert!
The people of the East Coast instantly became anxious. Every large territory began imposing emergency measures.
…
In Ashes Tower, Wayne still felt weak even after the Rejuvenation spell, so he returned to his dorm to rest.
Only Marvin and Hathaway remained on the top floor.
The atmosphere felt somewhat depressing.
Hathaway stood there, calmly looking toward the East.
Marvin was behind her, and he noticed her hand that wouldn’t stop trembling.
He whispered, “Scared?”
Hathaway’s body slightly shook. She weakly sat down on the sofa.
Rather than focus on her frail appearance, Marvin calmly walked to a window on the side, looking at the dark clouds covering the East Coast.
“Thank you,” Hathaway whispered.
She took a deep breath and suddenly stood up, regaining her previous dignified image.
Marvin was right, she had truly been frightened!
She was almost killed by the Shadow Prince!
Almost gone forever!
This thoroughly frightened her to her bones, no words could describe that. It was to the extent that when she returned to the Ashes Tower, even in front of Marvin, she couldn’t handle it for a bit.
But a Legend Wizard was a Legend Wizard. She had high willpower and soon pulled herself together.
Marvin smiled from the corner of his mouth. “This is the Dame Hathaway I know.”
Hathaway coldly snorted and wiped a few teardrops from the corners of her eyes.
“You helped Ashes Tower win its first Battle of the Holy Grail.”
“And you just saved my life. Tell me, what do you want?”
Marvin looked at Hathaway’s beautiful face and her eyelashes shuddering from the extreme fear, and was almost unable to stop himself from teasing her.
But the strength difference between both sides was too great. So in the end, he said with a blank face, “Help me out!”
“Hmm?” Hathaway looked curiously at Marvin.
Marvin pointed at his Ring of Wishes and said, “I want to use a Wish.”
“Pixie’s Wish.”
“If it goes well, then never mind.”
“If I accidentally summon some bastard… Please help me.”
Hathaway displayed an understanding look.
“Pretty good, this is a true Ring of Wishes.”
“The luck of us Seers is always good. Let me see what you summon.”
“Summon it here, Sir Leymann helped me secure this floor of the tower with 19 Legend spells. Even if Glynos came here, he would also have a tragic end!”
