Chapter 105: Great Elven King!
Chapter 105: Great Elven King!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
War Saint!
A very simple Legend class. It wasn’t like some the other classes with fancy names. You simply needed to reach the pinnacle of fighters while mastering one kind of weapon!
Elven War Saints were very rarely seen. Wood elves were mainly gifted in magic and archery, so most elves were wizards or rangers.
The last Elven War Saint appearing in Feinan was at least 400 - 500 years ago!
‘As expected, that guy Ivan is already a Legend!’
Marvin sighed in relief. When Ivan broke the knowledge compass, the situation had already turned.
Karel was difficult to deal with, but he was only at the 3rd rank.
In front of the true legendary class [War Saint], he had no chance of success!
Karel had no time to relax as Ivan suddenly exploded with his Peerless Sword Aura, thoroughly locking Karel in place.
He made a very simple swing with the worn out sword in his hand, the most basic of slashes, and a taunt!
But such a simple move was shining with a large amount of power in Ivan’s hands.
“Bang!““Klang!”
After four simple moves, Karel was appalled to see his own scythe breaking.
Because Ivan’s four consecutive slashes all targeted the same spot!
People able to reach War Saint each had their own Peerless Sword Aura. Even if Marvin didn’t know what kind Ivan had, it certainly was related to the Shatter property!
The Blazing Fury the old blacksmith gifted to Marvin had this [Shatter] property. This property was very fierce. Each attack would have a chance of shattering the opponent’s weapon!
The chance of the effect triggering was related to the hidden [Characteristic] property of the weapon.
Ivan’s worn out sword clearly didn’t possess the Shatter property. He purely relied on his own fierce strength!
“Haaa!”
A jelly-like membrane that bubbled up to cover Karel was cut into pieces with a simple slash!
Karel awkwardly fell to the floor, his face full of fear.
Ivan was holding his sword with one hand, coldly staring at Karel.
If Karel didn’t have a strange item to block for him that time, he might have already died from Ivan’s sword.
A War Saint was just this straight-forward!
There were no gorgeous skills, only true strength!
They would use the simplest martial skill to exert the fiercest strength.
Thus, people said that War Saint was the manliest class. Simple, violent, powerful.
All skills were useless in front of them. Only the knowledge compass, that artifact fragment, could trap Ivan for a short moment.
Taking advantage of Ivan keeping Karel in an awkward situation, Marvin rushed up to help Ollie.
After untying her, Ollie gratefully thanked him.
If not for Marvin rushing up and keeping Karel busy, she might have not lived until Ivan broke the knowledge compass!
…
“Bang!”
Karel’s body flew, directly smashing through a tree after taking a left punch from Ivan!
He spat up some blood, trying to crawl up from the ground. It looked like he wanted to use some ability, but he couldn’t do anything.
Because Ivan was already standing in front of him!
“Traitor Karel.”
“You had already been deprived of your rights, anyone can kill you. Even an exile like me has the right to punish you.”
“Now, as Ivan the exiled, I declare you dead.”
For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on Ivan’s face.
He was using a kind of special ability.
This ability could let his voice transmit through Thousand Leaves Forest to all those who had evil intentions toward the elves!
This was the blessing bestowed upon him by the Great Elven King when he was a kid, Judgement.
Killing Karel after using Judgement would definitely give a psychological blow to those Outlaws of the Crimson Road and those people up to no good!
Marvin watched attentively. When Karel tried to struggle, Ivan decisively used a Legend’s domain ability!
It was that ability which made Karel completely unable to try to run away.
‘Is it [Absolute Prison], or [Peerless Suppression]’?
Marvin was looking at Ivan, somewhat curious.
This guy was really too strong.
He was the strongest person he’d met up till now, if you excluded the red copper dragon. Even that Half-Legend Hathaway wasn’t Ivan’s match.
Spells couldn’t injure a War Saint.
Ivan had to go through a tough tempering of his martial skills to become a Legend. After becoming a Legend, he would automatically receive at least three magic resistance specialties.
Even when Marvin advanced to [Ruler of the Night], he also received three legendary specialties: [Element Immunity], [Negate Death], and [Barrier Breaker]. Those three major specialties turned Ruler of the Night into one of the classes the wizards hated the most.
Of course, those legendary wizards’ power didn’t only lie on themselves, it also came from their forces, their wizard towers, and their disciples.
Other classes wouldn’t be their match as long as fully prepared legendary wizard hid in his wizard tower. This was a publicly known fact.
In fact, if Anthony was able to anticipate the Shadow Prince’s assassination, and made enough preparations, he might have been able to stop that Shadow Prince’s doppelganger.
…
Marvin stood to the side, watching as Ivan was about to kill Karel.
But suddenly two extremely bright rays of light suddenly shone in the sky!
Ivan stiffly held his sword. Ollie also stood up somewhat unnaturally.
Marvin was also slightly surprised as those two rays of light descended from the darkness, piercing through thick black clouds.
Once they reached the ground, they formed two pillars of light.
A charismatic voice echoed through everyone’s heart:
“Stay your hand. Ivan.”
“You aren’t qualified to deal with a traitor. As an exiled, you violated at least 19 laws of Thousand Leaves Forest today.”
“You are bringing trouble to yourself.”
The pillars of light fused together, turning into a tall shining figure.
An extremely young and extremely handsome elven man!
His clothes were luxurious and graceful, his expression was peaceful, and his eyes felt like they were filled with wisdom!
He was wearing a laurel crown on his head.
Great Elven King Nicholas!
Marvin let out a deep breath.
He hadn’t expected that this frightening and honorable existence would be alarmed!
For the Great Elven King, every place in Thousand Leaves Forest was under his watch and protection.
He was previously fooled because Karel used the stolen knowledge compass to hinder his sight. Now that Ivan had destroyed the knowledge compass, the Great Elven King immediately sensed the fight that was happening!
He instantly appeared there. Even if it was only a doppelganger, it brought an endless pressure to everyone present.
“My King…” Ollie followed simple etiquette, somewhat struggling, “His Highness Ivan was… “
“I know he tracked the Outlaw of the Crimson Road,” Nicholas calmly said. “But this isn’t his duty. He overstepped his boundaries.”
Marvin frowned.
He had already heard that this Great Elven King was particularly unreasonable. His craving for power was as hot as fire, but he w
as also very old-fashioned.
Seeing it today, it was truly like that. Even the treatment of his own son was this harsh.
“Haha…” Ivan lightly laughed, “19 laws?”
“It doesn’t matter, not with that 500 years of exile plus that one or two thousand…”
Nicholas said expressionly, “It is 1460 years.”
“Close.” Ivan shrugged, “How do you plan to handle that Outlaw of the Crimson Road?”
“You won’t let me kill him, and you are a shadow doppelganger, so who’ll do it? Ollie?”
Ollie heard this and her expression immediately turned solemn.
But Nicholas’ gaze passed over Ollie and stopped on Marvin.
“He’ll kill.”
“Ollie doesn’t have the qualifications as she was defeated by the traitor.”
“There isn’t such an issue with our Night Walker ally. His performance was outstanding, like his teacher in his youth.” The Great Elven King said very peacefully.
This however made Marvin extremely surprised.
Let him kill this Karel?
Was that true?
‘What the hell is that king doing…’
‘Yielding such a great amount of experience to me? Oh wait. It seems like Feinan’s natives don’t get exp for killing… But to let an outsider like me handle the elves’ internal matter, don’t you think it’s an issue?’
Marvin was confused.
But Nicholas had already opened his mouth:
“Are you willing to do me a favor? Young Night Walker?”
“If you lend me a hand, I can help you undo the seal on that Ring of Prayers, letting it regain its previous glory.”
“A genuine Fairy Turin’s item. There aren’t many seen nowadays.”
Ring of Prayers?
Marvin was moved. This Ring of Prayers was actually genuine?

Chapter 106: Reckless Dual Wielder
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Facing this kind of request, what could Marvin say?
Karel had already been half-killed by Ivan, becoming thoroughly unable to move. Marvin went up and simply beheaded him.
That Outlaw of the Crimson Road who had all kinds of skills and amazing specialties, apparently didn’t have an undying body in the end.
This was the highest class holder Marvin had killed ever since he transmigrated, a peak 3rd rank.
Thus, the amount of battle exp he received this time was a quite considerable 6400 exp!
He now had 9153 battle exp. Even if he couldn’t level up his Night Walker class yet, he could level up his Ranger class once!
…
“Thank you, young man.” Nicholas smiled as he looked at Marvin. “Give me your ring.”
Marvin nodded and handed over the Ring of Prayers.
With the status of the Great Elven King, it was unlikely that he would deceive such a minor character.
He had thought that this Ring of Prayers he originally got the from the Grave Robber was a counterfeit made by a human smith, but it was actually a genuine item!
But it also wasn’t too surprising, as many items went through the special skills of a [Concealment Master], effectively hiding their original quality.
Even though Marvin had a rich gaming experience, he didn’t have a high appraising ability. Inspect could barely make out the attributes of a few items. But for the more advanced information, he needed a high rank or perhaps even master level appraiser to check them.
Wizards enjoyed exceptional advantages in this field. The spells passed down by the Wizard God had some affinity for appraising items, making things easy.
The Ring of Prayers in the Great Elven King’s hands began to emit a faint light, as the originally rough appearance slowly began to fade.
This ring which had been covered by dust for many years finally revealed its true form!
…
While the Great Elven King was lifting the seal on the Ring of Prayers, Marvin unhesitantly spent 4800 battle exp.
His Ranger level went up to 6! He gained a total of 24 skill points, and at the same time his HP increased by 30 points.
Now Marvin had a total of 198 HP, so as long as he wasn’t dealt a mortal blow, he would be able to survive.
Most important was that when the Ranger class leveled up to 6, a random class specialty would appear!
Marvin attentively watched the logs. This specialty would be very important to him. If it was a specialty he couldn’t use, it would be wasted.
4800 battle exp wasn’t that easy to get after all.
[You gained a class specialty, (Ranger) – Reckless Dual Wielder]
[Reckless Dual Wielder]: When you are dual wielding daggers, your attack speed increases by 10%. Strength Modifier +3.
‘It’s actually Reckless Dual Wielder!’
‘This is practically the best outcome!’
Marvin was ecstatic as his specialties updated!
In the few specialties after Two Weapon Fighting, none were more suitable than Reckless Dual Wielder, especially considering the strength boost. His current power was still very weak. This specialty would completely make up for his strength deficiency.
What’s more, this specialty was not as simple as it looked.
Marvin knew that Reckless Dual Wielder had a hidden property!
When using two daggers to attack alternately, if he could make 10 pairs of strikes in one breath, this specialty’s hidden effect would be unleashed. The dual wielder would get a bonus: +6 strength for the next three attacks!
This meant that after twenty blows, Marvin’s daggers would get a +6 strength modifier!
This specialty also greatly upgraded Marvin’s current monotonous moves, prolonging his fighting time!
If burst didn’t trigger, he could try to stay in a constant melee with his opponent with no break in the fight, to trigger Reckless Dual Wielder’s hidden effect.
This fierce hidden effect was called “Qilin’s Arm” by the players.¹
When Marvin was a Ruler of the Night, he almost fell to the Qilin’s Arm of a dual wielding ranger.
If he hadn’t guarded well against it, that sudden burst of power would have taken him down.
He’d earned big!
…
“The Ring of Prayers has been restored to its original form. This is a typical work of Fairy Turin, full of luck… and danger,” Nicholas slowly said.
He returned the ring to Marvin.
Marvin sincerely thanked the Great Elven King. After all, from his point of view, a dose of Dragon Strength in exchange for a Magic Item wasn’t too bad, let alone letting him deal the blow and receive so much battle exp effortlessly.
The current Ring of Prayers’ properties had already greatly changed. Along with the additional magic [Rainbow Jet], there was one more effect, [Turin’s Prayer].
[Turin’s Prayer]: Each month on Fairy Turin’s day at midnight, you can use Turin’s Prayer. It can bring you luck, but it can also bring you a disaster!
The effect of Turin’s Prayer was pretty good. Even if it was a random prayer, most of the time it had a positive effect.
It was said that someone once used Turin’s Prayer and summoned a heavenly creature to serve him!
Of course, there were also some unlucky fellows who got imps and other things.
In short, this thing was quite reckless.
Marvin estimated that Fairy Turin’s day was roughly six days later.
‘In six days, just at the time of the Battle of the Holy Grail, such a coincidence…’ He thought.
…
“The matter of the Outlaw of the Crimson Road has come to an end.”
“I am quite thankful for your help. The friendship between the Wood Elves and the Night Rangers will forever exist.”
There was clearly the meaning of seeing a guest out in the Great Elven King’s tone.
Marvin felt the change, and looked at that f
ather and son duo. Could there be a good show coming?
Ivan actually smiled to Marvin. “You saved Ollie, I’ll remember this favor.”
“If you have time, you can come find me in the Stone Giant territory.”
“But now, I’m going to challenge this old-fashioned old man!”
Ollie was worriedly looking at Ivan, while the latter was staring at Nicholas.
Nicholas calmly looked at Ivan. “Come.”
“Thirty years of tempering, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of growth you had during that time.”
“I know you are a War Saint, but this is far from enough!”
‘There is really a good show to watch!?’ Marvin was excited.
But at that time, Nicholas suddenly waved his big hand.
“Please, Young Man. It is a duel among wood elves. It isn’t convenient for outsiders to watch.’
In an instant, a gate randomly appeared behind Marvin!
The whole Thousand Leaves Forest was under the control of the Great Elven King. He could appear anywhere, anytime. Of course he would also be able to send other people out!
Marvin dejectedly scratched his nose and bid farewell to Ivan and Ollie before entering the door.
…
“What a pity…”
On the edge of Thousand Leaves Forest, Marvin couldn’t help but take a glance back.
He unexpectedly wasn’t able to watch this weird father and son duo’s catfight… Ah, wrong. “Duel”.
Such a pity. They were both powerhouses of the Legendary rank.
But carefully thinking about it, Ivan himself told him he could go visit in the Stone Giant territory. The outcome of the duel had probably already been decided.
Even though Ivan was a War Saint, he had just become a Legend. Few people in this world were aware of Nicholas’ true strength!
Most people thought he was a Legend, which was right.
But Marvin knew this guy’s frightening situation!
His strength was far from that of the ordinary Legends.
He was a Dual-Class Legend! Not a subclass, it was a dual-class!
If Marvin wasn’t wrong, Nicholas was a level 28 Wizard and level 21 Ranger!
A total of 49 levels! Almost comparable to the strongest gods.
This was a frightening existence that even made the weaker gods shiver during the Great Calamity.
