Night Ranger

Chapter 676: Shadow Fire

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The sudden fight suspended the fierce battle that had been underway.

After apparently fleeing from Marvin earlier, the Molten Archdevil had now returned, adding a lot of uncertainty to the battle for the Fate Tablet, at least in the eyes of others.

At this moment, the two sides had separated and gathered in their own groups.

And between them was the continuously expanding Molten Domain!

In fact, a frightening power burst out from the Hell Spawns as they spurred each other on.

If not for the powerful Shackles of Order in the surroundings of the Sky Tower, a black hole might have already been burnt into Feinan by these flames.

Regardless, despite the continuous repair of the Order Power, that frightening Molten Domain still expanded.

From a certain point of view, this Molten Domain was a temporary version of the Molten Hell!

People could see that pitch-dark flame pervading through the entirety of this ”Hell”.

The place was barren. Besides the many hardened rocks, all that could be seen were flames and lava.

Marvin and the Molten Archdevil’s avatar turned into two black flames and clashed within that Domain in a fierce fight.

After the initial intense collisions between the two of them, the flames on both sides gradually settled somewhat, exposing their true bodies.

Marvin still had the body of a regular Human, but his current situation was quite dire… Due to the transformation, he couldn’t use his other abilities!

All of his normal abilities, including his Ruler of the Night Legend skills and his False Divine Vessel’s Domains, had been sealed!

He could only rely purely on his body to fight the Molten Archdevil!

What was even more unlucky for him was that he couldn’t even use suitable weapons.

Because this was just like the Molten Hell!

In this pure Bloodline battle of the Hell Spawns, Marvin couldn’t use Sodom’s Blades.

This was definitely a huge trial for Marvin.

As a Ranger who was used to killing with curved daggers, when did he have the time to hone his fistfighting?

He was at the disadvantage from the start!

”Boom!”

The black flames interweaved and Marvin could only feel his fists shattering.

As both sides struggled, Marvin was at a loss. If he didn’t dodge quickly, he would be chased down by the Molten Archdevil!

’This is too unfair!’

’I have a Human body, while that guy is pure stone!’

Marvin silently complained to himself.

He was getting rather annoyed.

The Molten Archdevil was a Lava Giant!

He was twice as big as Marvin and was only somewhat inferior to Marvin with regards to Dexterity, but when it came to Strength, he far surpassed Marvin.

If not for this only being an avatar, Marvin might have gotten crushed to death by just one punch.

For the Hell Spawns to ensure that their inheritor had the purest Bloodline, they deprived both sides of their extraneous abilities, but this virtually gave the advantage to the Molten Overlord who was more used to both Hell’s terrain as well as fistfighting.

But the saving grace for Marvin was that he could feel that due to the black flame’s help, his injuries were being healed at a frightening speed!

His physical qualities could also be seen increasing at a visible pace.

This was an unprecedented opportunity!

After all, physical fitness was very difficult to increase after reaching the Legend level, or at least, raising the qualities of the body through attributes was very difficult.

And the transformation of this Fire Bloodline was definitely tempering his body!

The fight had only lasted a minute, yet Marvin had already received more than thirty injuries, light and heavy. But thanks to the black flames, he had already recovered from them.

And in this short time, his Constitution had already gone up by 1 point!

The most frightening thing was that according to the interface, not only was his Constitution rapidly increasing, but his other main attributes were too!

This wasn’t part of the temporary effect of the Ruler of Shadows ability doubling his attributes. Rather, it was an entirely real and permanent improvement to his physical qualities.

With his current rate of growth, Marvin’s Dexterity would most likely reach 40 soon! And the other five attributes were also bearing down at the Godly Realm.

The awakening of the Hell Spawn was a challenge for Marvin, but it was also a great opportunity!

As long as he could kill this flaming rock in front of him!

’I need a weapon,’ Marvin thought inwardly.

At this time, a log flashed in his interface, making Marvin’s eyes shine:

[”Perfect Domain – Shadow” passive taking effect… Would you like to fuse it with your Bloodline?]

The field of Perfect Domain was really outstanding. Even though the advanced False Divine Vessel was already sealed and couldn’t be properly activated, but under the stimulation of the black flames, the Domain’s passive actually took effect on its own!

Suddenly, Ruler of Shadows activated and Marvin’s attributes doubled!

[Yes!]

Marvin didn’t hesitate to have his Bloodline fuse with this ability.

He wanted to see what kind of phenomenon would emerge from the fusion of the [Ruler of Shadows] and the power of the 1st Generation Molten Archdevil!

Shortly after, he felt many more black flames coming out from his skin.

These flames were a lot purer than the Lava Giant’s flames… and darker!

[Fusion complete!]

[You learnt a new ability – Shadow Fire]

[Shadow Fire: These flames from Hell belong to the Shadow Domain. As the Ruler of Shadows, you can use Shadow Fire, and you are in control of the shadow flames.]

Marvin’s eyes shone as he rolled to the side to dodge the fierce slam of the Molten Archdevil. With a ”Woosh”, a pitch-black flame flew out.

Everyone recoiled in shock as that black flame started changing shape!

”He… He can control the Flames of Hell?”

A Divine Servant looked at Marvin with a pale face, as if he saw something inconceivable.

”No, that’s not the Flames of Hell!”

The Berserk God’s expression became even more contorted as he shouted, ”Only true Lords of Hell can control the Flames of Hell. Even the Molten Archdevil Avatar can’t, how could he?!”

”These flames… They look like shadows!”

After these words, the newly formed flames condensed into the shape of a pair of curved daggers!

These daggers were of exactly the same shape as Sodom’s Blades.

Marvin was inwardly excited. The flames kept burning, and in a flash, the pair of Sodom Blades formed from Shadow Fire took shape!

The hulking mass of rock roared, apparently weary of Marvin constantly darting around, as he began to rush over, trying not to give Marvin any chance to escape.

Marvin felt full of confidence with these daggers in hand. He rushed to re-engage the avatar in close combat.

Desperation Style!

Shadow Fire ripped through the Molten Archdevil’s Molten Domain and Marvin suddenly surged with speed, completely overpowering the Molten Archdevil!

The Shadow Blades cut open the Molten Archdevil’s seemingly impregnable defense, lopping off his right shoulder!

A mournful howl echoed for a long time from the Molten Domain.

Those outside the area, regardless of whether they were from the Astral Sea or from other corners of the Universe, they all sank into a deathly silence.

Perhaps they were already starting to reconsider Marvin’s previous proposal.
