After killing it, Marvin himself had also half given up. Before passing out, he was still considering whether or not he should concede!
Unfortunately, he had no time to talk to Wayne before he passed out.
Marvin didn’t know what happened next, but he could only make a rough guess.
‘This kid is too stubborn. Unwilling to concede.’
He looked toward Wayne on the side, smiling pleasantly.
Even though that little guy was only 9 years old, his willpower was extremely shocking. Marvin had to help him overcome the Universe Magic Pool’s fall. With this kind of willpower, he might even become stronger once the new Wizard class surfaced!
…
Marvin was sitting in the ice hole, not feeling the cold. He began to carefully study this new subclass suddenly appearing from his bloodline.
When he had talked with the Ancient Elven God, Marvin understood that he was a Numan’s descendant.
Numen didn’t last long in Feinan’s history.
They had an inherent ability to cast by themselves and didn’t need the Universe Magic Pool.
They came from another plane.
The suppression of Sorcerers¹ by the Wizards wasn’t unrelated to the Numen. Numen were tyrants in Feinan and were ultimately banished by the people rising up against them, eventually becoming exiled.
But Feinan still had a small amount of Numan blood descendants. These people would become part of the great Sorcerer family. After all, the Sorcerer class was divided into a lot of different classes. Fate Sorcerer, Fiend Sorcerer, Ghost Sorcerer, Evil Spirit Sorcerer… Hidden among the Sorcerers, the Numan blood descendants wouldn’t be noticed.
Although the Southern Wizard Alliance had rescinded the command to chase the Numen 300 years ago, most people would still be suspicious of the Numen.
Many ignorant people thought Numen were a kind of devil.
As a result, most of the remaining Sorcerers also suffered, and no matter how they would explain, people wouldn’t believe their class was [Draconic Sorcerer] or [Celestial Sorcerer], thinking it was [Fiend Sorcerer] instead.
Ignorance is frightening.
And in reality, even among the Numen, there were many branches.
When Marvin used the Book of Nalu, he obtained that shocking [Shadow Doppelganger] skill. That innate skill was a major help during his fight with the Gemini.
When he got it, he guessed that his hidden bloodline was [Shadow Sorcerer]!
But that turned out not to be the case.
‘Shapeshift Sorcerer is a class even rarer than Shadow Sorcerer!’
‘I don’t remember meeting a lot of Shapeshift Sorcerers in the past…’
‘Hmmm. There was that time we went to fight the Underworld’s [Sixth Evil Overlord], Diggles. One of the teammates seemed to be a Shapeshift Sorcerer.’
Some knowledge about the class gradually appeared in Marvin’s mind.
But this knowledge was really too pathetic when compared to his knowledge of other classes!
He only knew there were few Shapeshift Sorcerers among the Numen, that this class could switch between different shapes, and they had very few spells.
‘In any case, let’s check the attribute changes.’
Marvin carefully checked the attribute panel.
The logs were as follows:
[You received your first subclass – Shapeshift Sorcerer (Bloodline)]
[Personal Specialty – Versatile in effect. No penalty for the first subclass.]
[1000 battle exp automatically withdrawn. Subclass Shapeshift Sorcerer successfully acquired.]
[Constitution +1, HP +10]
[Bloodline awakening (1/5). All 1st-circle spells acquired.]
[You obtained a class specialty – Boundless Shapeshifting.]
[Boundless Shapeshifting]: Active Specialty. You can switch between various shapes. Currently two shapes available – Shadow-shape, Beast-shape.
…
After looking at it for some time, Marvin got a general understanding of this class.
This was a very mystical class.
There were actually all kinds of shapes. He currently could use two shapes; one was Shadow and the other was Beast
After getting his Shapeshift Sorcerer subclass, his default shape was human.
And using another shape would consume a lot of stamina, it would cost at least half of his stamina to shapeshift.
With Marvin’s current constitution, it would roughly last 10 minutes before he had to switch back to his human shape.
As for his abilities when in a non-human shape, Marvin had no idea.
And in human shape, in addition to his bonus attribute point he’d received, the [All 1st-circle spells] was merely two spells!
One was [Charming Looks]!
This spell could give +3 Charisma to the target for 30 minutes. In other words, it was used to look good to seduce young ladies.
The second spell was [Transforming Magic Cube]!
This spell was actually a control type spell, making up for Marvin’s lack of control abilities!
A total of two 1st-circle spells, was this even a damn Sorcerer class?
Marvin couldn’t help but ridicule it a bit.
But he noticed that after getting the subclass, his body’s weak state apparently disappeared.
The previous injury caused by the Gemini had already completely recovered.
This should have something to do with the Shapeshift Sorcerer Bloodline.
‘This bloodline, can’t tell if it’s bad or not. And the world is full of dangers, I can’t get careless again.’
‘If not for being lucky… Wait, luck?’
Marvin suddenly recalled something.
He carefully looked at the attribute window. That [Luck +1] line from before had already disappeared!
‘It disappeared?’
‘What does this mean?’
Marvin wasn’t stupid, he immediately understood.
‘Turns out it was like this! I wasn’t lucky… Rather, the Luck bonus helped me awaken!’
‘The blessing of the Fortune Fairy Ding!’
The Fortune Fairy was an incarnation of a Fate Tablet fragment. Her strength was extremely frightening. Her blessing would naturally be hard to imagine.
Even if Marvin only had 1/10000 chance of awakening his bloodline, after using the blessing’s Luck, it could raise the odds to 99%.
This was the effect of Luck.
But Luck didn’t have unlimited uses. After helping Marvin awaken his bloodline, the point was used up.
Next time Marvin fell into a similar crisis, he would have to rely on his actual luck!
…
In any case, luckily awakening his bloodline subclass already made Marvin very satisfied.
At least the Shapeshift Sorcerer class wouldn’t waste one of his subclass spots, and it saved his life.
He raised his head to look at the opening in the ice. This hole wasn’t very high, so he used a bit of effort and jumped out of it.
He had [Anti-Gravity Steps] after all.
From the color of the sky, it should be late afternoon.
They hadn’t been rescued, meaning that the competition was still underway.
‘There is still that Celina.’ A hint of killing intent flashed through Marvin’s eyes.
If not for her, would there be a Gemini in the competition?
Marvin would definitely not be lenient toward that woman!
…
‘Let’s get out first.’
Marvin took out a Wishful Rope and tied it to Wayne, preparing himself to jump out and then pull his younger brother.
But a loud, mournful wolf howl suddenly echoed outside the hole.
Marvin felt something wrong.
He used Anti-Gravity Steps and rushed outside.
He saw a small wolf standing on the snowy slope, continuously howling.
And a delicate figure was standing next to it!
Celina!
&n
bsp; Marvin noticed that even though that wolf was small and skinny, cold air could be seen coming out when it howled.
‘Great Winter Wolf!’
‘Even though it’s a cub, to be able to have it as her pet! The Unicorn family is really investing in this!’
Marvin suddenly realized something really bad.
A young Great Winter Wolf was fine, he could handle it. The problem was that this thing could summon a large wolf pack!
A wolf pack is a very frightening thing.
Far away on the mountain, low howling sounds could be heard answering.
This was the sound of low level wolves answering the summon of the Great Winter Wolf!
Once the wolf pack was formed, it would be very difficult to escape!
‘No good. I have to kill Celina and that wolf cub first!’
A hint of killing intent flashed through Marvin’s eyes. He decisively went to hide Wayne in a relatively more concealed spot in the hole.
He put on Wayne’s Thunder Fairy Boots for himself, and used his fastest speed to charge at Celina standing on that slope!
‘It’s time to display the power of the class I just obtained!’ he thought.
He was ready to shapeshift!
_________
T/N1 – Sorry for the change. The description for the class so far fitted Shaman and Sorcerer, I picked shaman as the safe choice (sorcerer sounds more wizard-like than shaman) and thus that’s what I used. With the introduction of Draconic Sorcerer and Celestial Sorcerer, I decided to correct this mistake. It is now Sorcerer, following proper D&D classes.
Sorry Sofaking, more work for you.
ED/N - Yaaay. Again. ಠ_ಠ
Chapter 120: Roaring Beast!
Chapter 120: Roaring Beast!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
“How did his strength suddenly recover?”
“Yeah. He was clearly in critical condition earlier. How come after taking a fall, he not only woke up, but is also moving fine again?”
“How is he running so quickly? Heavens! Is he going to challenge that completely unscathed Celina?”
In the Three Towers, everyone was shocked as they watched Marvin run!
They had thought that the outcome of the Battle of the Holy Grail was already decided. Marvin and Wayne had no strength left after all.
The two fell in a hole in the ice. Their situation was very miserable.
Despite that, the brothers’ display of toughness in this competition sincerely convinced the majority of the audience.
But in the end, it was a competition.
In the eyes of the majority, even if Celina didn’t act, she would still become the winner of the Battle of the Holy Grail!
The Wizards of the other two towers had shaken their heads, sighing.
“Damn. It’s the Thunder Tower once again, it’s always like this!”
“Although Leymann is an upstanding Wizard, he still cares a lot about every Battle of the Holy Grail, doing his best to create an opportunity for his apprentices, tsk…”
“Yeah, if that Marvin hadn’t met that Guardian right off the bat before being chased by the Gemini, maybe Magore Academy’s brothers might have won the competition.”
But their sighs were unable to change the outcome of the competition.
The referees in charge of the competition weren’t Wizards from the Three Ring Towers but enforcers from the South Wizard Alliance.
According to the rule of the competition, if Marvin and Wayne didn’t move for 30 minutes, they would be considered inactive and disqualified.
Just as those enforcers were about to take a magic carpet to fly into the snow mountain, Leymann’s strict voice echoed beside their ears:
“The competition isn’t over!”
Not over?
The few enforcers froze.
One of them took out a crystal ball and through the shared magic screen, ended up noticing that Marvin, who had been unconscious, had actually jumped out of the hole!
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes!
‘Is there a mistake?’
‘He’s this lively already? This guy’s constitution clearly wasn’t great. Surely even a Barbarian wouldn’t be able to recover that fast?’
Everyone was puzzled.
However, Marvin’s previous miraculous performances already made them somewhat used to it.
Taking liberties with a Guardian, violently killing a Gemini, and now recovering from such a bloody state was also not too strange to believe!
…
In the Thunder Tower, veins were throbbing on the angry Lohart’s forehead.
He hadn’t thought that his carefully picked Gemini would be defeated!
That was a monster able to kill 3rd rank class holders. If not for his clan’s high level Wizards using a slave contract on it, he wouldn’t dare take it out.
Marvin was merely a level 7 Ranger surprisingly managed to get rid of a Gemini.
This completely overturned his understanding of Rangers.
‘Damn, those teachers were completely bullshitting me. Saying that Ranger was a trash class, a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none, very mediocre.’
‘Seems like they completely misled me. What tutor? South Wizard Alliance’s most prestigious scholar… Ptui! When this heir returns, I’ll ask my father to fire these old swindlers!’
‘Ranger is clearly a very powerful class!’
Marvin’s performance greatly twisted that Unicorn Heir’s worldview.
He had always stayed in the family headquarters, training on Crystal Island Before he came to the Three Ring Towers, he had few contacts with the outside world.
Though he wasn’t a Wizard, he was an expert in swordsmanship, and his knowledge was taught by the best teachers of the clan.
As he trained his swordsmanship, he naturally looked down on Rangers that used curved daggers. Before today, he had always thought Rangers were the kind of dejected people sleeping and eating in the wilderness, having dishevelled hair and covered in bugs. This was what his teacher had taught him.
And from a certain point of view, it wasn’t wrong.
He had met a few Rangers on his way and they were all rough good for nothings.
This made him look down on his dead younger brother who was actually killed by a Ranger. What has he been doing all these years in the Three Ring Towers? Was he training his magic, or was he playing around with women?
Before the start of the competition, he was still considering whether using the Gemini was making a big fuss over nothing.
But when Marvin crazily cut the Gemini into mince meat, he was thoroughly stunned.
Those frightening daggers’ shadows, he knew he wouldn’t be able to block them!
Even Lohart himself was already a Fighter on verge of entering 3rd rank, and the advancement was only a matter of time.
But he was still frightened by Marvin’s fierce and awe-inspiring dagger skills.
It was to the extent that he actually sighed in relief when Marvin lost consciousness.
When the brothers fell in a hole in the snow field, he couldn’t help but cheer, making the surrounding people roll their eyes at him.
But…
What happened next almost made Lohart collapse!
Marvin recovered and jumped out from the hole, fiercely charging toward Celina!
That expression, that movement, Lohart already couldn’t accept it!
‘Everyone says that Geminis are monsters! But isn’t that guy the true monster!?’
If there weren’t people nearby, Lohart would have been unable to stop himself from roaring!
He originally had great confidence in Celina and the Great Winter Wolf.
But it didn’t look like much now.
He had a bad feeling.
This Marvin was simply outrageously strong!
Marvin was the true winner of this Battle of the Holy Grail!
This thought gave him a sense of defeat.
>
“Immediately contact the clan. Say that the estimation of Marvin strength was mistaken. He was able to kill the Gemini and has at least the strength of a 3rd rank!” He grabbed one of his followers and growled in a low voice.
The latter swiftly went to work.
An influential clan like the Unicorn clan naturally ways to communicate quickly.
The clan would soon send a stronger expert to kill Marvin!
Lohart calmed down a bit as he thought of this.
Kate came back at that time.
“I am sorry for leaving just now. How is the competition going?” she asked with a smile.
Lohart forced a smile. “Looks like my people’s luck was a bit bad…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Kate comforted. “Luck isn’t something people can control.”
Ding in Kate’s embrace couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice:
“But an adorable Fortune Fairy like me can…”
…
At the bottom of the slope, a cold gale passed by, cutting like knives across Marvin’s face.
He didn’t feel the slightest bit of pain.
Celina coldly watched Marvin rush toward her.
She didn’t know what happened to the Gemini but she had confidence in being able to defeat that guy!
Because she had the strongest class, Wizard!
And there was the Great Winter Wolf protecting her. She didn’t believe Marvin would be able to reach her through waves of wolves.
Although Marvin had madly rushed over, the young Great Winter Wolf had already managed to summon many wolves before he arrived.
More than 200 wolves had already gathered next to them, their green eyes coldly glaring at Marvin.
Many more wolves were on their way to join the pack!
“You are screwed!” Celina murmured.
She pet the head of the Great Winter Wolf Cub.
The latter immediately let out a long howl!
In an instant, all the wolves moved together.
That scene was simply too frightening!
Fighting one lone wolf wasn’t too terrible.
But a wolf pack was utterly scary.
They were born soldiers, and under the command of the Great Winter Wolf, they actually grouped together to form something looking like a square shaped formation.
This wasn’t a wolf pack.
This was an army.
Even if their average level was 3 to 4, there were enough to rip apart any 2nd rank class holder!
