Marvin squinted. ‘About to attack?’
Sure enough, White no longer hesitated.
He quickly dashed forward and stopped in the a relatively spacious zone!
In this zone, even if Marvin wanted to sneak attack, White would quickly notice him.
His magic staff aimed at that large forest boa. He began to chant a spell in a loud voice!
His magic staff was different; the tip was twisted and ended in a Unicorn’s family emblem.
‘Not a 1st circle spell!’ Marvin shivered!
A 1st circle spell didn’t have such a long casting time!
It was that magic staff!
It was a spell attached to the magic staff.
‘Worthy of an influential clan. Rich and overbearing indeed.’ Marvin thought. White’s spell wasn’t something he was capable of himself. It was actually activating a spell attached to his magic staff.
This way of chanting looked like the Paladin (Guardian Knight) activating the enchanted Divine spells on his sword.
White didn’t need 2nd rank strength to use the 2nd circle spell!
Soon, a blood-like scarlet ray shot from the tip of White’s magic staff. It completely covered the large forest boa!
2nd circle spell [Flesh Removal]!
This was a very cruel spell. It could forcefully remove the flesh of an animal. Even a sturdy monster hit by this spell would still die painfully.
The large forest boa was but a mere 1st rank monster. It was unable to resist this kind of frightening spell.
Soon, under the scarlet mist, the large forest boa’s flesh began to fall in pieces.
It was as if it had rotten, displaying its thin skeleton.
The large forest boa struggled for a bit where it lay before finally dying.
White coldly looked at the scene. At that moment, a golden light flashed in front of him.
It was something similar to a little bell, hanging from the large forest boa’s corpse.
The Holy Grail!
White’s eyes shone.
He didn’t move however. He knew Marvin was definitely hiding in the surroundings. Seeing the Holy Grail, the other side would definitely be unable to hold back!
As long as Marvin showed himself, White’s spell would immediately take care of him!
Once his spell hit, everything would be over.
‘Wizards are this world’s most powerful class. A ranger is but a waste class.’
White coldly observed the surroundings for any change.
He didn’t feel a bit of worry. The Holy Grail was before his eyes and he was patient.
What’s more, he knew that Flesh Removal was spell that sent a powerful energy. That energy didn’t scatter after killing the large forest boa.
Five minutes were needed before they could safely approach the large forest boa’s corpse, otherwise, the remaining magic power could tear off their flesh.
White would be very willing to watch Marvin try to steal that Holy Grail in those five minutes.
If this happened, he would suffer a very miserable death.
‘Focus! The forest area is the best area for rangers.’
‘I must win!’
White took a long breath, his eyes darting everywhere.
But suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of him!
Marvin had appeared!
…
Marvin indeed made his move.
The wishful rope was still tied to his waist, pulling him by shrinking at an incredible speed, making Marvin fly through the open space from the east toward the west!
In the middle of the open space was the corpse of the large forest boa.
White sneered and aimed at Marvin with his magic staff.
However, he was immediately stunned.
‘Hold on… This is weird!’
He’s too far!
Marvin was a bit too high. White’s spells were almost unable to target him!
‘What’s going on? Could he only have wanted to show his face? And didn’t plan to take the Holy Grail?’ White was a bit confused.
Based on Marvin’s current elevation and flying height, he would be unable to reach the Holy Grail.
He could only fly past the body of the large forest boa.
He could only reach it if his arm was at least 2 - 3 meters long.
‘What is this guy thinking?’
White was at a loss.
As Marvin’s body quickly streaked across the sky, it soon reached it’s lowest height!
This was exactly at the location of the forest boa corpse. There were still dangerous red lights fluttering on it.
It was the remaining magic power.
Marvin laughed and suddenly extended his right hand, quickly chanting a strange-sounding incantation.
[Vine Metamorphosis]!
This was the spell he earned from Mad Lich Fidel. It finally came in handy!
Marvin’s hand instantly turned into a slender vine and crazily grew. In the blink of an eye, it exceeded 4 meters!
The vine passed through the red magic power and could easily reach the Holy Grail.
The vine grew and coiled around the Holy Grail before quickly withdrawing!
“Woosh! Woosh!” Marvin’s shadow was quickly dragged to the other side by the wishful rope.
Furthermore, it was in the direction of the set location.
“Plop.”
Marvin nimbly landed on a thick and solid branch.
His hand immediately returned to its original state, the Holy Grail safely held within. Marvin lifted the Holy Grail and turned toward White, a grin on his face.
“My apologies. I need to leave first.”
The next instant, he suddenly disappeared in the forest!
…
“Fuck!”
White instantly got angry!
He didn’t expect Marvin to possess Vine Metamorphosis, this rarely seen spell! Wasn’t this a spell of the northern druids?
Vines are plants, they aren’t affected by the Flesh Removal Spell!
Thus, Marvin was able to easily take away the Holy Grail.
White’s face was ashen. But his reaction was very fast. He immediately cast a Haste on himself and rushed after Marvin, extremely mad.
Even though he might not catch up, he still had to try!
‘How can I let that little bastard beat me!?’ He shouted inwardly, to the extent that his originally delicate face became twisted!
He rushed through the woods, Marvin’s silhouette apparently flickering in the distance!
He clenched his teeth and madly sprinted. Suddenly, he noticed a silvery light from the corner of his eyes!
“Hold on…”
Unable to react, his neck was about to hit something!
That was a silver thread coiled between two trees!
Due to his speed, White directly crashed into it. The silver thread directly hit White’s neck!
This resulted in a frightening cutting strength.
Fortunately, he always kept a barrier spell activated, or else he would have lost his head!
Because of the barrier, only a bloody line appeared on his neck!
White’s face was ashen; he felt the threat of death for the first time!
But suddenly, a shadow dropped down without a sound and landed behind him!
“Do you really think I would let someone that went after my younger brother’s life easily leave like that?” Marvin whispered.
His dagger already turned bloody.

The audience was absolutely silent.
They weren’t silent because of the end of the competition but because Marvin really killed White!
A barrier’s strength was finite in the end. It had already became fragile after hitting the silver thread.
Marvin cut off White’s head in front of a such a large audience.
After a while, th
e audience burst into an uproar.
“Is this guy really unafraid of the Unicorn clan’s retaliation?”
“That person’s killing nature is so dominating… So frightening.”
“White River Valley is only a small territory in the border. How can it be compared to the Unicorn clan? Even if he was only one among many heirs, the Unicorn clan would definitely not let it go.”
“This youth is really too impulsive, isn’t he? The Ninth Month Medal will be unable to save him!”
Their expressions were very grave.
The Unicorn clan was among the top five wizard clans on the East Coast. They had two 3rd rank wizards and a multitude of 2nd rank wizards.
Their headquarters was at Crystal Island on the edge of the Sword Sea. Even if it was a little far from the South, if they wanted to send troops it would be enough to eliminate a small place like White River Valley. They would have to go through Jewel Bay and then through River Shore City.
The way they saw it, Marvin’s way of handling things wasn’t smart. He definitely could have knocked out White and then won the competition.
If they won the competition, White would have only bore grudges against Marvin, nothing more.
White’s death would incite the Unicorn’s clan anger!
…
With White’s death, the competition was already over. Because it was a competition and not a life or death duel, Marvin didn’t have the right to loot White’s body. This was the only thing Marvin felt pity about.
This guy had a lot of good things on him.
When he left the competition area, Wayne walked over and excitedly gave Marvin a strong hug!
Hanzer’s face was ashen.
“Why did you kill him?” He asked.
“I won’t say the reason a second time.” Marvin smiled. “I made inquiries these past few days. White is one of the members of the Blue Morphine. Isn’t that true?”
Hanzer sighed, “But doing this would put you in a very dangerous spot. The Unicorn clan is a behemoth.”
A behemoth?
Marvin smiled. He didn’t think so.
Crystal Island on the edge of the Sword Sea was close to Jewel Bay and it was even closer to that volcanic island.
In at most half a month, that ancient red dragon would be awoken by an earthquake. He would wreak havoc through the entire East Coast. Without Anthony, the East Coast had no legend to contend against it.
And the Unicorn clan’s Crystal Palace would be the first target of its plunder due to its close proximity!
Marvin remembered this clearly. The Unicorn clan, this once glorious wizard clan, was almost completely destroyed before the biggest disaster even arrived.
Due the ancient red dragon tearing apart everything, only a pitiful few clansmen who were wandering outside survived and started rebuilding their clan.
Obviously, that ancient red dragon didn’t have a good time either. It was said that the Unicorn clan had used everything they had and forced the red dragon to withdraw.
Thus, that dragon was silent for more than half a year, and only after the calamity did he resume wreaking havoc.
…
After White’s death, the clan might of course send a small part of their strength to deal with White River Valley.
But it was more probable that an assassin might try to hunt down Marvin.
After all, due to the location, sending a part of their army to the distant White River Valley was truly not worth it.
As for Wayne, as long as he stayed in the Three Ring Towers territory, he would be very safe.
‘If they dispatch a hitman, I’ll actually look forward to it!’
Marvin was waiting for it.
Because he would rank up soon!
…
Just as they were ready to leave, a wizard wearing a purple qipao gown¹ suddenly appeared in front of them.
(1 - Clothes of someone in an official position.)
“Baron Marvin, a higher-up wants to meet you.”
Hanzer’s expression had a slight change.
He was a member of the Ashes Tower, so he obviously understood the meaning of the purple clothed wizard!
A purple qipao gown, this was something that only members of the top wizard regiment could wear!
Their actions represented the Ashes Tower’s Master, Hathaway’s decisions.
Naturally, that higher-up he mentioned was most likely Hathaway.
Hanzer looked at Marvin, his expression suddenly changing into a “I knew it, you had a relation with Dame Hathaway” look.
“Understood.”
Marvin calmly said, “Go on ahead. I’ll follow you to see that higher-up.”
…
The top floor of the Ashes Tower.
Clean brown wooden floor, wine red sofa, milky white curtains.
The three colors formed a strong visual attack.
A green parrot was calmly standing there. A lazy woman was lying down on the sofa.
She was blonde, wearing thin pajamas covering her body. Her fair white thighs were exposed, dazzling Marvin’s eyes.
“White River Valley’s Marvin pays respect to Dame Countess.”
Marvin focused and greeted with a noble etiquette.
In the South Wizard Alliance’s system, Ashes Tower’s Master, Hathaway, had the title of countess. And if she reached legend rank, she would establish her own territory far in the wilderness and immediately become a Marquess. As for a Dukedom, there was no dukedom in the whole East Coast. This was related with the fact that Feinan continent was vast and had a crazy amount of monsters between cities.
The formation of many powerful forces wasn’t an empire, it was an alliance.
“You don’t have to be too polite Baron Marvin, you and I both know that titles are absurd things and that only strength matters.”
Hathaway said in a low voice, her two pretty eyes suddenly paying attention to Marvin. “You recognized me that day?”
Marvin was silent for an instant and then said, “I have a rather peculiar perception skill…”
“Lies,” Hathaway sneered.
“Your perception is very average, in this regard you aren’t particularly gifted.”
“Well,” Marvin shrugged, “Not too long ago, I had a very long dream. There were many people in the dream and a lot of things. Forgive my boldness, I met many outstanding people in my dream… You were among them.”
“Dream?” Hathaway was suddenly full of energy.
“What kind of dream?”
“This is very difficult to describe. But it thoroughly changed me.” Marvin tried to stay as vague as possible.
He couldn’t say that he transmigrated, could he?
“I understand.”
Hathaway didn’t question, displaying an understanding expression instead. “You really are a [Seer].”
Eh?
Seer?
Marvin’s expression didn’t change but he was startled inwardly. He had expected Hathaway to wait for him to explain, but unexpectedly she instead justified it for him.
He immediately took the opportunity to ask, “Seer? What does this mean?”
Hathaway stopped and deeply looked at Marvin. “Some people can see different things.”
“Some people are blessed by Fate and become able to see the terrible events that have yet to happen.”
“[Seer]s have many different ways of looking in the future, dreaming is one of them.”
“I’m also an Seer, thus I looked for you today.”
Marvin frowned.
“Could you let me know what you saw?”
Hathaway didn’t hide it. Instead, she stared at Marvin. “I saw the destruction.”
“Destruction?” Marvin smile was a little stiff.
“The East was covered in flames, monsters were rampaging, cities were ruined from tides of monsters.”
“The Era of the Wizard Rule ended. Some lofty figures entered Feinan. They were uncontested. I also saw too many deaths.”<
br />
“Including… My own.”
“There was a shadow approaching me. And I couldn’t do anything against its strength.”
A cold gust of wind blew. The top floor of the Ashes Tower had suddenly turned ice-cold.
Hearing Hathaway’s story, Marvin was somewhat stunned. In the end, did he truly transmigrate, or was earth just a dream?
Could he remember those things because he was also a Seer?
Was that previous life just an illusion?
…
‘Wrong! Seers and such have no relation with me! I am Marvin, Marvin from Earth!’
He suddenly shook his head, startled into a cold sweat.
Hathaway’s words had almost made his soul waver.
He wiped his sweat and focused. In a hoarse voice he asked, “Why telling me this?”
Hathaway stood up from the sofa. She was a bit taller than Marvin who hadn’t fully grown yet.
She lightly pulled Marvin’s hand and pulled him to a table.
The way I foresee the future is through this crystal ball.”
“I’ve been looking at my future since a long time ago, but every time I look at my fate, I would sink in more despair. Because I’ve always been unable to get rid of this shadow. I was fated to die.”
“But a few days earlier, after you showed up in the Three Ring Towers, I took another look. But this time, I saw a different outcome.”
Hathaway softly lifted the white cloth on the crystal ball.
A few chaotic scenes were flickering inside the crystal ball.
The last scene stopped on the image of a man. That man had twin daggers on his belt and was holding a scroll in his hand.
A shadow was lying in front of him.
“This is…” Marvin mouth suddenly dried up.
“You killed him.”
Hathaway pointed at that shadow and said, “Not long ago, this man killed Anthony.”
“But in the fate I saw, you kill him.”
“This is the reason I was looking for you.”

Marvin was silent.
What did that shadow mean?
He was clear about it.
The Shadow Prince!
A very active god during the Great Calamity, his avatars were all over Feinan. He once assassinated three Legends at the same time!
