Night Ranger

With his increase in strength, Marvin didn’t need to go all-out for many of the opponents that he faced these days.

In fact, the realm he was at right now was a bit awkward.

Ordinary Legends and those below the Legend realm were easy to defeat.

But against those one rank higher, such as the Dream Guardians he met before or the more frightening Divine Servants, and obviously Gods, he was at a heavy disadvantage.

After all, at this level, the gap between each step was huge and would have a major effect.

That Leader of the Crimson Road in front of him had extremely high Blade Technique mastery, and each attack put enormous pressure on Marvin!

This made him feel excited.

Blades flashed between them, intertwining. The sound of the collisions echoed in the cave.

...

The Leader of the Crimson Road frowned. He hadn’t expected to meet such a skilled enemy in a remote place like this!

’I did hear that the Drow Blademasters were very troublesome, but I still didn’t think there would be such a powerful Legend expert here. I don’t know what kind of Legend Class he has.’

A tinge of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Someone able to bring him to a stalemate in such a fight was definitely a Blademaster.

His opponent’s physical abilities were very similar to his own, so he wouldn’t be able to win the fight with just his Blade Techniques.

’Hehe… I don’t believe you’ll be able to keep up with my speed and burst power!’

With this thought, the Leader of the Crimson Road suddenly slashed down!

This attack was faster than the ones before by at least 30%!

He had been holding back somewhat with all his previous movements.

The goal was to make Marvin become negligent after getting used to a slower speed.

This was his favorite trick to use, and it was often very effective.

He had killed many experts at a similar level to him using this trick.

After all, people often try to look for patterns, which would make them adapt to his rhythm. When his enemies became used to a slower rhythm, suddenly attacking them at a faster pace would catch them off guard!

The blade was like a shadow, ripping apart the air while letting out a whistling sound!

The Leader of the Crimson Road’s eyes were cold and gloomy, but were full of confidence!

He was sure that after this attack, the outcome of the battle would be decided!

Even if Marvin didn’t die, he would be at a disadvantage after being caught off guard.

At that time, once he made a few more mistakes, the outcome of the fight would be decided!

’Coming to fight me at this time, maybe this Drow is a friend of the Arachnees.’

The Leader of the Crimson Road really thought of Marvin as a Drow due to his disguise.

Ever since they started fighting, neither had spoken a word.

...

But the Leader of the Crimson Road was in for a surprise!

”Clang!”

”Woosh!”

He reacted to the sound before he even saw what happened!

These two sounds made him very sullen. The first sound meant that contrary to his expectations, Marvin actually blocked that attack. And the second sound was particularly worrying.

That kid was actually able to follow his sudden increase in speed, and while blocking, he also counterattacked!

’What the fuck was that?’

’Extreme reaction speed?’

’Wouldn’t this level of coordination be impossible even for me?’

But the situation didn’t allow him to think too much!

Because Marvin’s counterattack was like an omnipresent storm of wind and rain!

The Leader of the Crimson Road started retreating slowly down the narrow cave.

He now discovered that this guy had also raised his speed and rhythm. Moreover, the Drow had increased the speed by more, a lot more than he himself had!

...

Probe. Show weakness to your enemies. Then burst out with immense speed and power, leaving the opponent in the dust.

Marvin was extremely familiar with this melee trick.

Perhaps the Leader of the Crimson Road had used this technique to kill dozens of people, but Marvin had used this trick to kill thousands!

The two were very similar, and even their killing techniques were the same.

The difference was proficiency.

If this Leader of the Crimson Road was at an apprentice level, then Marvin was at a Master level!

The rhythm of this trick, the signs of its uses, Marvin knew those like the back of his hand.

When a change in the movement of the Leader of the Crimson Road’s right shoulder appeared, Marvin had already noticed it.

This kind of move was actually right up Marvin’s alley!

In close range, it was true that whoever initiated the attack first would gain the initiative, but if there was a miscalculation, then one would suffer a loss, or even be done for.

In a clash of blades between experts, defending and counter-attacking was actually the most dependable tactic.

In that split second, Marvin no longer stuck with just probing attacks. He instead used Desperation!

This Blade Technique Style would allow him to break out of a desperate situation and burst with potential!

The principle behind that style coincided with the idea of defending and then counterattacking.

When he noticed the impending blow, Marvin originally only wanted to burst with full strength to keep pace with the Leader of the Crimson Road.

But unfathomably, a wonderful power began to circulate in Marvin’s body.

He could feel his attack speed rise!

’Desperation Blade Style!’

’Is this the true strength of that Blade Technique Style?’

Marvin was overjoyed.

But he didn’t lose focus. On the contrary, he went all-out on the offensive!

The speed of his attacks rose sharply, not only catching up with the Leader of the Crimson Road, but exceeding him!

His enemy simply couldn’t withstand his flurry of strikes!

Each move of the Desperation Blade Style was repeated in Marvin’s mind. It felt as if Master Kangen’s instructions were still echoing beside his ears.

”Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Marvin’s speed was still becoming faster, and his attacks also became sharper!

The Leader of the Crimson Road nearly wanted to weep.

’What is going on?’

’We were more or less evenly matched just moments ago, so why does it feel like that kid just ate something that made him become extremely fierce!’

He couldn’t understand how this was happening.

He was already growing weary from parrying and didn’t know how he could hope to regain the upper hand.

He retreated little by little, his butt almost touching the wall of the cave as Marvin continued pressing the attack!

”Woosh!”

In the end, he couldn’t help using an escape ability.

The pressure Marvin gave him was too huge, and he needed a reprieve.

But at that time, the corner of Marvin’s lips suddenly rose up as he sneered, ”Choosing that path out of panic... You still dare to use this trick in front of me?”

The Leader of the Crimson Road hiding in the darkness felt his heart tightening.

’Fuck! That Drow speaks Common…’

This was his last thought.

With the help from his advanced False Divine Vessel’s Slaughter Domain, Marvin was able to find the Leader of the Crimson Road.

Marvin held his daggers and also disappeared.

Eternal Night Seal!

A powerful force threw the Leader of the Crimson Road into a world of darkness!

The Leader of the Crimson Road felt speechless.

Normally, with his skill and speed, he would have been able to avoid getting hit by this sort of skill.

But he had just used an escape ability to break away from the battle and hide, and after using it, he would be left in a weakened state.

This skill had saved his life quite often.

As long as caught his breath and recovered his strength, he would be able to get away from his opponent.

But In front of Marvin, this tactic, which had previously served him so well, made him pay with his life.

The advanced False Divine Vessel was no worse than an actual Divine Vessel!

Although Marvin was only a Legend, thanks to his advanced Divine Vessel, he had the potential to transcend Gods.

Trapped within the Ruler of the Night’s world, the Leader of the Crimson Road was unable to resist at all.

A quick and simple Night Beheading took off his head!

...

At the same time, outside an old city south of the Arachnee Tribe.

The Black Knight suddenly raised his head, looking toward the North.

A gentle voice asked, ”What happened, Sangore?”

A woman was following Sangore. She was holding a fiery red staff in her hands, and elemental power was coursing over her body.

She was definitely a Legend Wizard.

There were two people dressed as Thieves on the side, one tall and one small.

The Black Knight remained silent as he stopped his horse and took a book from his bosom with a serious expression.

He flipped through the book until he ended up at a certain page with a few scarlet names written on it.

One of them was slowly fading.

”Stang is dead,” Sangore solemnly said. ”This time, he truly died.”

The other three all showed expressions of shock.

They knew how strong Stang was. In the team, he was second only to Sangore.

”Could there be another expert in the Arachnee tribe? No way, if there was, they would have done something when we were massacring the Arachnee tribe…” The Legend Wizard was confused about who it could be.

”Not the Arachnee tribe.” Sangore raised his spear, a feverish expression in his eyes. ”It’s him…”

”The one who also has the Divine Book!”

”I can feel him coming closer.”

”His goal is also Devil Town!”

”We will wait for him here!”

...

Marvin threw the corpse of the Leader of the Crimson Road into the Origami Space.

The Leader of the Crimson Road had nothing on him that would be more useful to Marvin than what he already had. Only that medal was rather decent.

That medal, if worn by a Leader of the Crimson Road, would substantially increase his strength. But if worn by an ordinary person, it would automatically disguise them as an Outlaw of the Crimson Road.

It seemed like a rather dubious effect. Who would want to disguise themselves as an Outlaw of the Crimson Road?

But Marvin didn’t think like that.

Items with unique effects had their own value. If he wanted to sneak into a Crimson Road base someday, this medal would be very useful.

After dealing with the Leader of the Crimson Road, Marvin was going to help the old Arachnee down.

Unfortunately, after being abused by the Leader of the Crimson Road for a long time, the old Arachnee was already on the verge of death.

Before dying, he used Undercommon to tell Marvin a few things.

Marvin couldn’t understand everything, but he was able to pick up a few words!

”Sodom’s Blades… Curse… Danger…”

This was what the old Arachnee conveyed before dying.

The Arachnee had a certain relationship with the Dark Elves, so he might have thought that Marvin had come to help after receiving a distress signal.

Unfortunately, these few words couldn’t give Marvin much information!

What was he saying about Sodom’s Blades? Was he just telling Marvin what the goal of the Black Knight’s group was?

What about the curse? Was it related to the Bloody Emperor? Or was it a hidden curse on Sodom’s Blades?

Danger was relatively easy to understand.

There was danger everywhere in Devil Town, and Marvin never took it lightly.

Whatever the case, the Arachnee tribe had already been destroyed. Marvin let out a sigh, but as he continued on his way, it occurred to him that he might not have been lenient either if they’d stood against him.

The Leader of the Crimson Road wasn’t able to figure out that the key leading to Devil Town was hanging on one of the flagpoles of the Arachnee Tribe facing Devil Town.

Marvin used his experience from the game to follow the clues and find the copper key.

This was the thing that the Arachnee Tribe had pledged their lives to protect.

For this, they were willing to pay the lives of their entire Tribe.

But they still couldn’t save it.

Whether it was Marvin or the Leader of the Crimson Road, their goals were the same.

Taking away the Bloody Emperor’s treasure, and more importantly, Sodom’s Blades.

In this cruel world, the weak had no right to say anything.

After obtaining the key, Marvin was no longer sorrowful and kept moving forward.

After walking past a hilly area, he arrived at a small mound.

From there, he overlooked the extremely desolate wilderness in front of him.

There was a strange cliff above him that was filled with jewels.

These jewels were embedded in cracks in the stone, emitting a radiant glow.

This radiance was harmful to the human body, and also the only source of light in the Underdark. Lifeforms able to survive here were ravaged by the radiation, but it also helped temper their bodies.

Marvin stood there, looking down.

A vast city was now spread in front of him.

He faintly squinted.

Four shadows were standing in front of the city, facing Marvin.

Both sides were already aware of each other.

The Book of Nalu was emitting heat continuously. That guy was clearly very excited!

’Another page of the Book of Nalu…’

’Four Legends.’

’No good…’

Marvin had made some errors in judgement before.

He had thought that there were only four people in Sangore’s team. He hadn’t expected a fifth.

That guy seemed to have made many preparations to go to the tomb of the Bloody Emperor. In all of Feinan, Temple Raiders and Tomb Raiders were very few in number!

There were very few Legend rogues that would advance through these kinds of side classes. Finding 2 or 3 of them wouldn’t be that easy, right?

Moreover, he also had a Legend caster.

Along with the Leader of the Crimson Road that he just got rid of, it could be seen how profound the Black Knight Monastery was.

When Marvin killed the Leader of the Crimson Road, he found out that the other side’s soul was very strange.

He had come up with a guess, which was that the leader of the Crimson Road was more or less like Madeline.

No wonder Marvin had eliminated him so easily in the end despite his impressive physical ability.

But this challenge wasn’t as simple.

In the distance, the Black Knight’s spear was pointing at Marvin, killing intent seeping from it.

Marvin sneered, and his silhouette disappearing from view.
