…
“It’s more or less like that. Deceiver, with her Evil Spirit subordinates, wantonly slaughtered these guys’ siblings in the Saint Desert.”
“Then she hid outside, waiting for the White Deer Holy Spirit to leave before entering to take away the Rainbow Stone.”
“This way, she could establish a Disaster Door outside the Deathly Silent Hills and let the Evil Spirits invade Feinan,” Marvin solemnly said.
Those young deers listened and immediately became extremely nervous.
“Ah! I know these Evil Spirits, they are very disgusting. They like to harm others.”
“Turns out it’s a thief wanting to steal father’s Rainbow Stone. We have to tell Father.”
“What can we do if the thief is very troublesome? I still haven’t learned how to fight!”
…
“So, did Mister Marvin come to stop that thief?” Muse asked Marvin.
Marvin faintly smiled. “It could be seen like that. Even if it wasn’t like that before, it now is.”
Muse nodded. Even if she was pure and kindhearted, she also wasn’t a fool. Marvin’s purpose in entering the White Deer Cave wasn’t necessarily that simple.
But she also didn’t need to expose him.
“So what should we do?” she asked, “Immediately get in touch with Sir Lorant?”
Lorant was the name of the White Deer Holy Spirit.
“There might not be enough time,” Marvin said in a heavy voice. “Sir White Deer Holy Spirit already left the cave and should have arrived at the Saint Desert. He might be surrounded by Evil Spirits.”
“Their goal should be to stall for time. Deceiver was delayed and I got in the cave first, but she should have been able to get in. Deceiver should soon appear from the Magic Mirror Maze. She knows where the Rainbow Stone is located.”
“We have to immediately shift it to a secret location.”
“Rest assured, I have no interest toward the Rainbow Stone,” said Marvin sincerely.
Muse slightly frowned.
At that time, a young deer skipped over from behind her back and a white light swept through Marvin’s body.
“He didn’t lie, Big Sis Muse,” that young deer said.
Muse nodded.
These young deers had remarkable abilities, able to distinguish between truths and lies. They could see through someone’s heart and see what they felt.
Since they felt Marvin was reliable, there shouldn’t be any issue.
Thus she told Marvin, “Follow me, I’ll bring you to the Rainbow Stone.”
..
Hawley was very depressed!
As one of the best Assassin of the Shadow Spiders, he was one of the highest ranked staff. This assassination of Marvin wasn’t something he wanted to do originally.
It was rumored in the East Coast that Baron Marvin… oh wait, it was Viscount Marvin now, had a good friendship with at least a dozen Legends.
If that kind of guy died, who knew what kind of powerhouse would drop by to retaliate.
But the favor he owed that Unicorn guy was really too huge. And the other side currently had a high position in the South Wizard Alliance. Reportedly, he was an assistant in the Finance Department. He held a lot of money in his hands.
The favor and a large sum of money gave him no choice but to continue this horrid assignment.
The result was pretty good. He killed his target, but unfortunately, he was chased by an insane woman!
He staggered on his way, dodging that woman’s attacks while relying on his extremely good Perception to escape the Magic Mirror Maze.
The only pity was that those two rooms appeared to have something good. But he didn’t have enough time to get a hold of them.
As an Assassin, he knew that he had to give up on some things to keep his life.
This was something he encountered countless times in his long career. As long as that woman paused to pick up something, he would be able to get rid of her!
But what made him mad was that the crazy woman apparently ignored those very good items and kept chasing him!
Hawley truly wanted to cry.
He also didn’t consider fighting back. Even though this woman was at the same rank as him, as a peak Sorcerer, her spells were enough to send him on his way.
She apparently also had a special method to pursue him. This made him feel extremely depressed.
The two kept speeding through the depths of the cave.
Suddenly, a fork with three different paths appeared in front of them.
Hawley intended to use one of his trump cards, a Doppelganger, to escape that woman’s chase.
How could he have expected that a group of adorable deers would appear in his field of view at that time!?
Behind that group of young deers was a girl holding a seven-colored stone in her hand. She looked stunned as she saw the two people.
What startled Hawley even more was that behind that girl was Marvin, who should have been dead a long time ago!
‘He is still alive?’ Hawley couldn’t help but blink repeatedly.
And most shocking of all was that the crazy woman instantly stopped her attacks when she saw that group.
…
‘Fuck!’ Marvin cursed inwardly.
Misfortunes never come alone.
He originally thought of taking the young white deers to escape from Deceiver, but he hadn’t expected meeting her here.
Moreover, there was that Assassin!
The Assassin’s gaze was full of ill-intent. He probably wanted to attack. After all, the Shadow Spider’s creed said that they must kill their target.
As for Deceiver, she was staring at the Rainbow Stone!
“Sir Marvin, what should we do!”
The group was panic-stricken.
Marvin took a deep breath and then tore an azure letter behind his back and crumpled it into a ball, letting it fall on the ground.
He then took two steps forward, blocking the path of those two.

At the fork, the situation was very subtle.
Deceiver and the Assassin were like two sharp blades stopped mid-swing. The former was attentively watching the Rainbow Stone, while the latter was attentively watching Marvin.
And Marvin was standing alone in front of the two. He not only had to be careful of the Assassin’s assassination, but also had to protect Muse and the young deers.
He couldn’t let Deceiver succeed.
After all, even if the target of reprisal was River Shore City, White River Valley was also close by.
If the Disaster Door opened, who knew how many innocents would be involved? White River Valley would definitely suffer from the repercussions.
Moreover, because of his deal with Madeline, River Shore City was already part of his power.
He had to do everything he could to stop this from happening.
The key was to stall for time.
Marvin pondered and suddenly asked, “Hey, isn’t there a more spacious place?”
Muse was the one he questioned.
The girl froze and pointed at another passage of the fork, “There. Not too far.”
Not waiting for Deceiver and the Assassin to react, Marvin shouted, “Go!”
Muse decisively rode on a deer and another young deer took the initiative to pounce over.
They turned and ran off leaving a trail of dust behind.
The young deers’ legs were extremely quick. They rushed as fast as lightning down the dark tunnel!
Deceiver and Hawley pursued, unwilling to let go. Their speed was also very frightening. One used magic and one used his innately high Dexterity.
There wasn’t much difference between both sides.
Soon, Muse shouted, “Marvin! It’s up front.”
“Got it!”
The dark tunnel soon reached
its end.
With Marvin’s Darksight, he already saw through the empty room behind the passage. That was a vast area, enough for what Marvin had planned.
Then he gently patted the young deer’s head and leapt high.
He stably landed at the exit of the tunnel.
The deers left the tunnel in an instant and then stopped, looking at Marvin.
Deceiver and Hawley also rushed over. The latter stayed silent, directly using Strong Invisibility.
If it was before, Deceiver might have already thrown a spell at him.
But at that time, her attention was fully focused on the Rainbow Stone.
She coldly told Marvin, “Move.”
Marvin took a deep breath and got ready to counter any sudden attack.
He looked straight at Deceiver and said as quickly as he could, “You are being deceived.”
“Your younger brother isn’t in Diggles’ hands.”
“Moreover, even if he did have him, do you think that with Diggles’ crafty nature, he would easily release him?”
Changes appeared on Deceiver’s face for the first time!
“Who are you? How do you know so much?”
But Marvin already had no time to answer, because a frightening killing intent locked onto him!
That person felt like a poisonous snake leaping at him from the shadows.
Instantly, a roar echoed through the entire White Deer Cave!
“Roaaaarrrr!”
Marvin’s body suddenly began expanding, transforming into a tall Bear.
His body looked like a small mountain blocking the tunnel exit. To the young deers it looked like a protector blocking the enemies’ path.
The Assassin Hawley had appeared, his dagger stabbing toward the back of Marvin’s head!
He didn’t believe Marvin wouldn’t die this time.
But he once again miscalculated.
Marvin’s body transforming caught him unprepared. His dagger was originally aiming at Marvin’s head, but it now aimed at the butt of the Asuran Bear!
The sneak attack of a 4th rank Assassin. Even if the Asuran Bear had an overwhelming defense, he still felt an intense acute pain on his butt.
But he managed to dodge a vital blow.
There weren’t many people who, when their lives were in danger, would transform to make use of this opportunity. Marvin was one of them.
He angrily swiped with his paw. The startled Hawley didn’t even try to pull out his dagger and directly escaped!
“Roaaarrrr!”
The Asuran Bear with a small dagger stabbed in his butt started to launch a fierce offensive on Hawley!
Despite the high level Assassin’s astonishing Dexterity, he was also completely scared by Marvin!
…
‘This is… Asuran Bear!’
‘This aura…’
‘Shapeshift Sorcerer!?’
Deceiver didn’t dare to believe what she was seeing.
She wanted to be told that the scene in front of her wasn’t true. ‘How could there be another Shapeshift Sorcerer in this world?’
‘According to Lord Diggles’ words, my younger brother and I are the last Numen!?’
‘Didn’t he say there wasn’t another Shapeshift Sorcerer in this world?’
She had stayed in the Decaying Plateau for a long time and firmly believed this. She had come to Feinan several times and secretly asked around. Those so-called erudites, Wizards, didn’t even know of Shapeshift Sorcerers!
Therefore she thought that Diggles’ words must be true.
But this guy in front of her, this Shapeshift Sorcerer told her that Diggles deceived her.
Was it really a lie?
Her mind was in chaos and she temporarily didn’t know what to do.
…
On the other side, an intense fight was still going on.
Oh… Intense might not be the good way to describe it. One-sided would be more fitting to describe the Asuran Bear chasing Hawley around.
Hawley didn’t want to fight Marvin right now.
What Assassins were most afraid of were this kind of monster with a powerful body.
Without special preparations, he simply couldn’t attack the Asuran Bear’s vitals.
And even if he already was at the 4th rank, if he was slapped by the Asuran Bear’s paw… the outcome would be very pitiful.
He didn’t want to be slapped into mincemeat.
Even if the Asuran Bear’s Dexterity was inferior, his experience was extremely rich.
What made Hawley even more depressed was that Marvin seemed to know every single Assassin’s escape move, and seemed extremely familiar with their escape routes.
Each time he would use his experience to make up for his lacking Dexterity and would appear on the path Hawley wanted to use to escape.
He was startled again and again.
If not for Marvin’s reduced Dexterity and his own crazy amount of escaping skills, he might have already been captured.
‘Won’t do. I have to think of a way to wait until this kid turns back.’
Facing the ruthless Asuran bear, Hawley couldn’t do anything.
He clenched his teeth and was about to use his Doppelganger skill, when suddenly the situation changed!
That white-clothed woman who was still hesitating suddenly moved!
She charged over, as if she was flying, toward the Holy Maiden Muse and the young deers!
Marvin had no choice but to give up on Hawley.
He once again blocked in front of Deceiver, roaring, “You don’t believe me?”
“You would rather believe an Evil Spirit Overlord’s lie over the words of someone of the same bloodline?”
Deceiver slightly lowered her head.
Suddenly she started laughing.
The laughter felt inexplicably evil.
Marvin’s heart immediately dropped!
This was that damn Diggles’ laugh!
Clearly, this treacherous Evil Spirit Overlord used some secret techniques to control Deceiver’s body!
“I’m sorry, that Rainbow Stone is mine,” he said.
Suddenly, Holy Maiden Muse cried out in alarm. The Rainbow Stone in her hand abruptly flew out due to some attracting force, and fell onto Deceiver’s hand.
Deceiver then turned and ran!

It happened so suddenly that Marvin didn’t have time to react.
Diggles was controlling Deceiver with an ability clearly beyond the understanding of ordinary people. She snatched the Rainbow Stone and then disappeared in the cave.
She escaped!
‘Shit!’
Marvin was worried, and the young deers were panicking. Even if they weren’t clear what losing the Rainbow Stone meant, they could still feel that this was something far from good.
‘I have to quickly catch up to Deceiver to stop her from opening the Disaster Door,’ Marvin decided.
But there was still something troublesome, Assassin Hawley. He didn’t know where this guy was hiding.
In a mere instant, this Assassin had used a high level hiding method.
Marvin felt a huge headache coming.
A 4th rank Assassin who wanted to assassinate him. He was a bit anxious.
He knew the strength of Assassins.
But something surprised him. Just as he was getting anxious, a charming voice echoed, “Are you looking for him?”
…
The tardy Madeline.
Marvin tearing the Azure Letter was to let Madeline know that something huge happened here. But things happened so quickly. It was to the point that by the time Madeline arrived, she could only casually catch Assassin Hawley who tried to escape. In fact, it wasn’t that Hawley was incompetent, but during his fight with Deceiver, and then later Marvin, he had used too many of his escaping skills.
M
ost of these skills were restricted to a certain amount of uses each day.
Madeline met him on the way, and with a Bind skill his life was under her control.
Then, after using all kinds of restriction spells, she directly bound the Assassin and brought him over.
But when she saw the dagger stabbed in the Asuran Bear’s butt, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Honestly, this is the first time I saw you in such an awkward situation.”
Madeline had a great time laughing.
She really enjoyed seeing Marvin in such an awkward state for the first time.
This guy’s strength clearly wasn’t that high, but he was able to smoothly react properly regardless of the circumstances.
It was very difficult to catch him in such a situation. Madeline seldom felt so carefree like this.
But Marvin’s next words made this joy disappear. “She took the Rainbow Stone.”
Madeline’s expression immediately became gloomy.
“Where is she? I’ll pursue!” she said decisively.
The ownership of the Rainbow Stone would decide whether or not River Shore City would face a disaster. As the Lord of River Shore City, she would obviously care the most about it.
“Hold on.”
Marvin looked at the Assassin, Hawley. “First we need to settle the grudges between me and that guy.”
Hawley forced a smile. “We have no grudges. To be honest, we only received money to help someone.”
“Who hired you?” Marvin coldly asked.
Hawley replied back, “If I tell you, you have to let me go.”
“Okay…” Marvin dragged this word.
Hawley bluntly answered, “That guy from the Unicorn clan… You should have heard, he works in the Alliance’s finance department.”
“If you let me go, I’ll personally bring him for you. Then you can handle him as you wish.”
But as he finished his sentence, a paw swiped down, directly crushing him into mincemeat!
Madeline frowned. “So violent.”
“And, didn’t you say ‘Okay’?”
Marvin casually said, “This kind of verbal agreement has no effect. Moreover, it would be leaving a loose end behind.”
“But you might miss a lot of information by doing that,” Madeline said.
Marvin shook his massive body and slowly regained his regular Human-shape.
He then clenched his teeth and pulled out the dagger stabbed into his butt.
