Night Ranger

The pleasant surprise came too abruptly. Marvin had almost activated Diamond Shape!

’The blade is that sharp!?’

With how rusty and decrepit the dagger looked, he hadn’t struck a proper blow with it out of fear that it would shatter. Marvin was delighted and hesitated no longer. He brandished his curved dagger and rushed forward.

The Blade Demon was greatly injured after his forearm’s blade broke. Under the assault from Marvin’s Desperation style, he didn’t seem able to resist.

Not long after, both of its arms were cut down by Marvin.

Without its arms, the Blade Demon no longer posed any threat. Its body also returned to its original state, pain showing on its face.

Marvin knocked it out and bound it.

That Hunting Knife was simply too valuable, it could actually break the edge of a Blade Demon. That sharpness likely exceeded that of his [Azure Leaf]s!

Or could it be that due to the Hunting Ground, the Hunting Knife sold by the Ghost Merchant had some special attributes?

Marvin considered some possibilities, and his gaze was quite delighted when looking at the curved dagger.

He put away the curved dagger and prepared to interrogate the captive.

But the outcome made him feel a bit exasperated, as the Blade Demon continued struggling after being taken captive by Marvin.

Regardless of what Marvin asked, it refused to answer.

It just kept roaring and bellowing. Even if it said something, it was in rough Abyssal...

Marvin could only gloomily end its life.

At that moment, an imprint came out of the Blade Demon’s body and fell in Marvin’s hand.

A Hunter Imprint.

The Blade Demon was also in the Autumn Hunting Ground so Marvin could gain a Hunter Imprint by killing it.

As for the mastermind, although it wasn’t confirmed, Marvin had a guess and he would have to be careful.

...

After dealing with the Blade Demon, Marvin intended to quickly leave that place.

If the Blade Demon could come so quickly, the two Dream Guardians might also appear nearby.

If it was one on one, Marvin would still have some chance of success, but fighting one versus two would really be too difficult.

The good news was that with the Legend laws being out, this was one more advantage for Marvin.

The Dream Guardians were definitely at higher levels than Marvin, a lot higher.

But when fighting at level 20, Marvin might not necessarily lose to them due to his fighting experience.

Marvin still didn’t want to meet the two in the Hunting Ground. That kind of difficult fight would use up too much stamina.

Who knew what kind of dangers he would meet in the depths of the terrifying Evil Wilderness God’s territory?

Marvin’s only way out was to survive, get enough Hunter Imprints, and then find an occasion to enter the Wilderness Hall.

He stayed a short time in the hill cavity, finally opening the chest.

He was very surprised by the contents of the chest.

There was a copper key, which looked like a door key. Apart from this, there was nothing else in the chest.

After getting the key, Marvin glanced around to make sure there was nothing around before preparing to set off.

However, the weather abruptly changed.

A great amount of dark clouds gathered overhead and rain came pouring down on the desolate wilderness.

Marvin felt a painful heat as the rain fell down on his body!

’This isn’t rain…’

Marvin shivered and instantly realized, ”This is fucking acid!”

Large-scale acid rain!

This kind of strange weather never appeared on Feinan. Marvin looked around, but the surroundings were covered in acid, and even if he was quick, he would still be greatly injured.

He clenched his teeth and crawled to get in that cave.

The inside of the cave was like a completely different place. Although the entrance was narrow, the interior was quite wide.

The tunnel sloped downward, but the entrance was elevated above ground level so the acid rain shouldn’t be able to get in.

Marvin found a corner from which he was able to see what happened outside and began to rest.

Under the heavy rain, the air became a bit acidic.

Marvin took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

He took advantage of this time to analyze the information he had.

According to the Ghost’s words, the Hunting Ground was a space established by the Wilderness God, so only he and his subordinates could open it.

And this time, it clearly wasn’t the Wilderness God who had opened that place.

Marvin recalled the discussion of the Lich and the Banshee in the Regis Ruins when he heard that voice!

When he was eavesdropping, he heard that the Lich was apparently preparing a scheme related to the Wilderness Hall, and Regis Ruins had something to do with Miss Silvermoon.

But he hadn’t expected to end up getting entangled in that event because of the pursuit.

What was certain right now was that the Wilderness God hadn’t revived.

This might be the only saving grace of the situation.

After all, the thought of facing that legendary Ancient God that made all Gods pale truly was a headache for a mortal.

It’s just that a Lich… wasn’t easy to handle either.

Marvin took a deep breath. This matter definitely hid many secrets.

Cold Light’s Grasps’ appearance, Autumn Hunting Ground’s opening… This was clearly a premeditated plot.

What’s the Lich’s goal?

Surely he wasn’t having everyone kill each other for no reason… Especially since if the Lich simply desired slaughter, why would he choose such an indirect approach?

Such a gathering of Legends had a certain risk.

Even if he had the home advantage, it would also be hard to face numerous powerhouses if they joined hands against him.

Yet he did so, and definitely for a reason.

Thinking of this, Marvin subconsciously remembered the corpse of the Blade Demon!

He quickly approached the entrance of the cave and looked out.

What he saw made him shiver!

The Blade Demon’s corpse was gradually melting under the effects of the acid rain.

The ground underneath it was squirming unceasingly.

It was as if a mouth was absorbing its flesh!

Soon, the Blade Demon’s corpse had been completely absorbed.

The ground became peaceful once again.

But that frightening scene was deeply engraved in Marvin’s mind.

He understood something.

’This is an offering!’

’Damnit! This isn’t a hunt! The Autumn Hunting Ground is just a sacrificial ground.’

’What does he plan to do by offering so many Legend powerhouses?’

The more Marvin thought, the more frightened he became. ’This shouldn’t be… Does that lunatic really want to awaken the Wilderness God?’

Right now he couldn’t confirm his guess.

Only by surviving and reaching the Wilderness Hall could he discover the answer.

After some time, the rain stopped and Marvin left the cave. It looked like the wilderness wasn’t flooded by the rain.

But the expression on Marvin’s face was even graver than before.

This place was like a stomach!

An insatiable stomach.

He would likely have to face many challenges if he wanted to force his way out.

In the distance, a few shadows were jumping unceasingly.

Marvin frowned and entered Stealth before quickly approaching.
