The members of this frightening race were innate killers, but they could only become pile of experience in front of a Ruler of the Night.
The current Marvin was obviously not as powerful as back then, but the Night Walker + Ranger class made Marvin confident enough to be able to take both on alone!
Shadow Doppelganger!
A small silhouette slowly appeared from the shadows of the cavern, but immediately disappeared on the spot!
Stealth!
The first time Marvin used his doppelganger, he was in stealth and used it as a probe. This time, he let the shadow enter stealth while he himself started the attack!
This was because he wasn’t alone. He couldn’t retreat or hide.
If he retreated, Wayne would be exposed in front of the Gemini. Based on Geminis’ methods, Wayne’s defensive items wouldn’t be of much use.
“A sneaky helper?”
The female Gemini suddenly started sniffing the air, directly locking onto the Shadow Doppelganger in Stealth!
‘Fuck!’
‘Isn’t this woman too perverted?’
Marvin cursed in his heart, but he didn’t hesitate, instead grasping his daggers and dashing forward!
Direct confrontation!
This was Marvin’s only solution now!
Blazing Fury in his right hand, a Fang in his left hand. Even though the two daggers were different, under the effects of Two-Weapon Fighting, they would be able to display some synergy.
Moreover, Marvin needed Blazing Fury’s spell!
[Arcane Missiles]!
Five consecutive Arcane Missiles chaotically flew towards the male Gemini!
And Marvin was also rushing in that direction.
The man laughed, as the muscles on his upper body suddenly swelled. He let the five arcane missiles hit his body!
“Bang!““Bang!““Bang!““Bang!““Bang!”
Heavy noises echoed through the cavern, sounding like an iron hammer hitting a stone wall.
The male was safe and sound.
‘Force Immunity!’
The name of this specialty flashed through Marvin’s head. Arcane Missile belonged to the school of Force Magic. Geminis are really abnormal. Despite only being level 7, he already had a specialty that was the bane of ordinary wizards.
Marvin reached the male in an instant, slashing down at his arm with Fang!
“Clang!”
A shallow bloody mark appeared on the male’s skin!
‘Steel Skin!” Marvin was fuming!
This Gemini was really an elite amongst elites.
Marvin’s attacks were nearly ineffective.
The male Gemini suddenly opened his toothy maw and lunged down at a ridiculous angle, while his arms reached to surround Marvin!
At the same time, the female Gemini also moved. She glanced at Marvin throwing himself into a trap with a sneer on her face, and ignored the Shadow Doppelganger to dash straight toward Wayne.
…
‘They are done for!’
That was the only thought in the hearts of the audience!
When the male Gemini opened his toothy maw, they had already come to the conclusion: Marvin was screwed!
Because Bergner died the same way!
The female Gemini had broken all of Bergner defensive spells and the desperate Bergner didn’t have time to surrender before his head was cleanly bitten off by the male!
The scene before their eyes was nearly the same!
“Too bloody…”
“This Baron Marvin looks pretty handsome. Dying at the hands of a Gemini, what a pity. How could they let such a monster in the Battle of the Holy Grail? They can’t be considered human!”
“Yeah, but then again, who made him offend the Unicorn clan? Moreover, if you haven’t noticed, this Battle of the Holy Grail is a little strange.”
“Strange?”
While a few Wizards were discussing, the scene on the magic screen suddenly reversed!
Everyone’s eyes widened.
On the magic screen, Marvin was about to be embraced by the male Gemini. He suddenly ducked and sneaked under the Gemini’s armpit like a cat.
Before anyone could sigh in relief, Marvin stepped on the back of the male Gemini’s leg and suddenly spun, coiling his legs around his opponent’s waist. The two daggers suddenly flashed together!
“I don’t believe your throat is protected by Steel Skin!”
Marvin ruthlessly used Burst to push his body to the limit!
He used his most familiar Thief combo.
The two daggers rotated, their sharp edges pointing toward the Gemini’s throat!
…
Marvin’s extremely sharp moves stunned the audience. Could Marvin really have a chance to kill him?
They held their breaths, nervously looking at the screen.
“Clang!““Clang!”
Two consecutive metallic sounds could be heard!
Marvin stiffened on the spot.
His two daggers had actually been grabbed by the Gemini!
Cutthroat failed!
‘Damn! Curved daggers really can’t match the attack speed of straight daggers!’
‘Moreover, my rotating also took extra time, allowing the opponent to counter.’
That was Marvin’s judgement of the situation!
This combo was originally the most commonly used Thief combo when he was playing, but Thieves and Rangers were different.
If it was with the speed of straight daggers, this Cutthroat would have definitely hit, the opponent wouldn’t have had time to react!
And in order to increase the strength of curved daggers, Marvin had to make a larger movement to increase Cutthroat’s effect.
But it was because of this point that his attack couldn’t be perfect, leading to a huge flaw.
Ordinary class holders wouldn’t be able to exploit that flaw.
But it was a very frightening gap when facing experienced experts!
For example, when he fought Diapheis, Marvin had also miscalculated.
Not to mention this frightening Gemini in front of him. His hands were immune to physical damage and actually forcibly grabbed Marvin’s daggers.
“Aaah!” The Gemini bellowed, grabbing the daggers and dragging Marvin out from behind his body.
Marvin didn’t have time to release them before his body was ruthlessly smashed on the ground!
“Plopl!”
He couldn’t help but let out a mouthful of blood. Marvin felt his body creaking all over. This wasn’t a light fall!
He could hear the sound of his bones breaking!
His constitution was still too low!
The Gemini smiled sinisterly and extended his hand to grab Marvin’s collar, wanting to lift him up.
Marvin had almost entered the stunned state!
Everything before his eyes was fuzzy, and he couldn’t breathe properly.
He attempted to wave his daggers, but he couldn’t do anything!
In the end, he had underestimated that Gemini’s strength!
He hadn’t expected to have just a small gap get exploited. Marvin was in a very desperate situation!
That throw left him dizzy and unable to do anything.
“Hehe, that one I ate before was too old, this one is pretty good.”
A hollow laugh could be heard from the male Gemini, as his toothy maw suddenly opened, ruthlessly biting down!
‘Am I going to die?’
Marvin’s consciousness was too fuzzy!
…
Everyone was solemn in the Three Ring Towers.
Some people were already protesting that this Battle of the Holy Grail shouldn’t be having a Gemini in it!
It was too abnormal, having both physical immunity and magic resistance!
Its methods were so frighteningly ruthless. Not in line with the goal of the Battle of the Holy Grail.
This was a Wizard competition! But instead Marvin grabbed the limelight and then it was the Ge
mini who took over!
What about Wizards? Where did the Wizards go?
What about Wizards’ prestige?
The three Academies’ Apprentice Wizards were basically non-existent!
How did it unwittingly turn into a follower competition?
This would have never happened in the past!
Followers usually played the supporting role in the Battle of the Holy Grail. Who could have imagined that there would be such a reversal this time?
Magore Academy’s Wayne, for the sake of some crazy plan, had prepared five Lava Fireballs! And maybe a sixth!
Thunder Tower’s Celina worked together with the Unicorn clan and hadn’t shown any of her strength.
And the pitiful Bergner actually wanted to display his own power, but ended up easily disposed off by the Gemini!
This was a complete joke!
The Wizards shook their heads one after the other. Some already started to talk about whether they should cancel the participation of followers in the following Battle of the Holy Grail!
No one cared about Marvin’s fate.
Because for them, the outcome was already clear!
Thunder Tower won. The Gemini would get rid of the two brothers in only an instant.
But in one corner, a young lady was angrily pinching a plump creature’s cheek, furiously saying:
“Ding! Help, if you don’t act, it’ll be too late!”

“Why do you pinch my face every time you are worried!” Ding quietly growled, in a bad mood.
“And not only do you pinch it when you are worried, you pinch it when you are happy, and when you are unhappy. I am a magnificent Fortune Fairy!”
Kate angrily said, “Then think of a way to stop him from dying!”
“I can’t do anything!” Ding helplessly complained. “My blessing won’t trigger in the incomplete plane of a Legend Wizard.”
“What? You have no solution?” Kate froze.
She had no choice but to raise her head to look at the magic screen.
That toothy maw was about to encircle Marvin!
“Then what’s your use!?” Kate in her worry let her chubby pet fall on the floor!
The latter dejectedly crawled up and wiped a tear. How did she become a pet?
“But you shouldn’t worry…” Ding comforted. “He won’t die.”
“Hmm?” Kate blankly looked at the screen and saw the toothy maw abruptly stopping in mid-air!
…
While Marvin was dizzy, he only managed issue one command!
This was out of pure battle instinct.
Suddenly.
Two strange barbed vines appeared and tightly locked on the male Gemini’s neck, firmly pulling the frightening mouth back in the air.
Shadow Doppelganger!
In that moment of life and death, the Shadow Doppelganger rushed over, using the same skill as Marvin.
Vine Metamorphosis!
It forcefully pulled on the male Gemini’s neck, giving Marvin a lifeline.
The Shadow Doppelganger’s feet were pushing against the male Gemini’s back, and both hands turned into vines, pulling at his neck.
If not for its help, Marvin might have already been swallowed!
But fights were always constantly changing in situation.
The male Gemini suddenly let go and turned to send a heavy fist at the Shadow Doppelganger!
The latter flew out like a broken kite, entering a disabled state!
It didn’t give Marvin a lot of time.
About two seconds.
But it was two seconds he needed!
They changed the battle’s situation.
Marvin took a deep breath after falling on the ground, and then used his willpower to rise and roll aside!
This roll was quiet and was done in anticipation of the male Gemini’s next move!
As expected, after he dealt with the Shadow Doppelganger, the male Gemini turned and stomped where Marvin originally was.
Unfortunately, this stomp was fated to hit nothing!
Marvin rolled farther on the ground and then kicked the back of the male Gemini’s knee, forcing the latter to lower his body.
Marvin suddenly jumped up and extended his right hand, the Ring of Prayers aiming at the back of the male Gemini’s head.
Rainbow Jet!
The frightening Rainbow Jet’s rays landed on his skin!
The crystallization began to take effect, as a layer of colored glassy material appeared on his skin!
“Fuck off!” the male Gemini bellowed, suddenly turning around and throwing a fist.
But Marvin had already retreated!
He coldly looked at the rainbow colors spreading on the male Gemini, a hint of lingering fear flashing through his eyes!
That was really too close.
That guy actually pushed him to this extent.
This was totally because of his Steel Skin being too troublesome!
Skin with Physical Immunity, this was far more troublesome than a Guardian.
To handle a Guardian, Marvin could still use the Armor Strip technique, but Steel Skin was quite a headache.
‘Fortunately, there is still the Ring of Prayers!’
‘His Magic Resistance is very high, but Rainbow Jet has an additional crystallization effect! It will definitely create vulnerabilities in his skin!’
Marvin narrowed his eyes, focusing on the male Gemini’s skin. He saw a spot turning into crystal and peeling off, carrying a piece of bloody flesh with it!
It was really effective!
Even though Rainbow Jet wouldn’t cause too much direct harm to the male Gemini, it caused a Broken Effect!
Thus, Marvin’s attacks would become highly threatening.
The tides had turned.
But at that time the male Gemini coldly laughed, commenting, “Quite a resourceful guy.”
“It’s a pity, you did so much… But what about your younger brother?”
…
Everyone in the audience in Three Ring Tower had their heart stuck in their throat.
They were watching as Marvin was about to be eaten, but then a huge reversal happened. The Ring of Prayers in Marvin’s hand was noticed by the Wizards!
“It’s actually Rainbow Jet.”
“Yes. This male Gemini’s strong point is that Physical Immunity. With his defense broken, Baron Marvin can definitely kill him!”
“Wizards are the strongest after all!”
They were all discussing.
But the female Gemini in the magic screen was chasing after Wayne!
In her eyes, without the protection of the Shadow Doppelganger, Wayne was just a piece of meat that had been delivered to her mouth.
“He did that because he had completely given up on his brother’s life!”
“Hey! No one could do anything about this situation.”
“If it were me, I might have already conceded.”
A few senior nobles couldn’t help but shake their heads.
Even though Marvin was still alive, his move definitely pushed Wayne into a fire!
…
“Seems like your disciple really had a strategy. Maybe it was something leaked by Dame Hathaway.”
The group of Magore Academy’s teachers were gathered together. The one who had complained earlier to Hanzel couldn’t help but say, “At least his spell setup, even if it is unreasonable, was completely tailored for this Snow Demon Lair. But unfortunately…”
“He’s screwed. That Baron Marvin cannot give up his life to save his own younger brother.”
Hanzel’s expression was ashen.
When the brothers were exploring the Snow Demon Lair, he was pleased beyond expectation. It turned out this was the reason!
Apparently they were aware of the existence of the Snow Demon Lair. Even if Hanzel wasn
’t happy about Marvin’s move, he also knew that this young noble of White River Valley had his own way of thinking. Moreover, he was close with Dame Hathaway, so maybe he had received some guidance.
Thus he wasn’t too angry.
But when the Gemini rushed in, his heart started beating faster!
If Wayne’s spell setup wasn’t this extreme, the brothers’ coordination would be enough to fight a Gemini!
Gemini, these freaky monsters, were very strong. But a combination of a prepared Battle Wizard and a powerful 2nd rank Ranger was also strong.
But unfortunately, Wayne’s spells were already spent!
Marvin fighting one versus two would definitely be very hard.
The course of events was also more or less what Hanzel expected. Marvin, in order to save himself, ended up unable to take care of Wayne.
Wayne’s screwed!
“No good, I will concede in their place!” Hanzel was very worried.
“Wake up. I know you are worried about your disciple’s safety. But they are the only ones who can choose to concede!” The teacher who was good friends with him instantly pulled him back.
“I can’t just watch my disciple being eaten by a monster!” Hanzel angrily shouted.
“You must trust them!” That man pointed at the magic screen and said, “Watch!”
On the magic screen, the female Gemini was charging toward Wayne, drooling.
And Wayne, standing next to the hidden door, didn’t panic at all.
He whispered an incantation and a bright blue light shone from under his boots!
“Thunder Fairy Boots!”
Hanzel’s eyes suddenly brightened!
He finally remembered, he had personally lent those boots to his own disciple yesterday!
…
Thunder Fairy’s Boots.
Magic Item.
Effect: Increase running speed.
This was a relatively popular magic item among the Wizards, not only because the Wizard God Lance also had an artifact like this, but mainly because this thing was too useful.
Under Wayne’s incantation, this pair of boots personally enchanted by Hanzel displayed its unique effect!
[Super Speed]!
Duration: 3 minutes.
Seeing the rushing female Gemini, he didn’t hesitate to trigger this effect.
Wayne’s silhouette crazily ran across the open space in the center of the mountain with the female Gemini in tow, unwilling to let him go!
