But at that time, a figure leading a hundred Paladins arrived.
A Great Elder of the Shrine!
“Aragon! You colluded with an evil follower and released a creature from Hell.”
“Quickly kneel down and accept Father God’s punishment!”
The Great Elder’s hair and beard were pure white, and the halo of a Divine Spell was undulating.
The hundred Paladins behind him were holding spears and were angrily aiming at Aragon inside the Royal Iron Guard!
A battle would break out at any moment.
Aragon raised his sword brazenly, intending to welcome them.
But he was stopped by Nana at that time.
“Brother, you cannot be stuck here with him.” Nana conscientiously said, “You need to go north.”
Aragon hesitated. “But here…
“Let me handle it.” An old voice suddenly echoed.
A gray-gowned scholar wearing simple glasses slowly walked out form the Imperial Palace’s court.
“Scholar Orland…”
Aragon looked at this scholar with shock, and the nobles were also startled.
Orland was the Nottingheim’s heirs’ tutor, a renowned scholar worldwide.
Everyone knew of him and respected him.
But how could a scholar without any strength fight against the Great Elder blessed by God?
As if in reply to these doubts, Orland took a big step forward and tore apart his gray gown!
In an instant, a frightening energy filled the whole court.
Orland was wearing a blue gown underneath. He smiled at the Shrine’s Great Elder and the hundred Paladins. “I didn’t expect to still have the chance to put my skills to good use after hiding for so many years.”
“Many thanks, Nana.”
Nana lowered her head. “Teacher, take care.”
Orland laughed heartily. “Only a puppet, there is no need to worry.”
He then spread his arms and unbridled magic power surged out!
Level 18 Wizard.
4th-Circle spell, Spatial Rend!
…
Prayer hall. The Hellhound’s gaze made Capella fear for her life for the first time!
“Stop him!” she sharply shouted.
Her scepter was pointed at the Hellhound, and Divine Spells were thrown out one after the other!
In fact, the High Priestess’ Divine Spells were very frightening. At this proximity, even the Hellhound with his high resistances was nailed on the spot and couldn’t break out.
Marvin already took the chance to slip away.
If he was hit by the High Priestess’ Divine Spell, he would definitely die!
The Hellhound wailed from the Divine Spells raining down on him.
The Zealots once again pounced over.
The Shrine seemed to have taken the upper hand.
But the Hellhound’s central head suddenly roared out, “Waaan!”
This sound seemed a bit amusing in this desperate battlefield.
But it changed the battle situation!
The other two heads seemed to have heard his command and simultaneously opened their maws.
Acid shot out fiercely, surging with the power of a waterfall!
The splashes of acid on the Zealots’ bodies created frightening bloody holes.
Most importantly, although that crazy acid spray used a lot of the Hellhound’s stamina, Capella’s Clerics also suffered from it.
Capella felt weak.
‘Shit, my Divine Armor!’
This was her last thought.
At that time, Marvin, who was hiding behind a pillar, boldly attacked.
[Night Beheading]!
“Woosh!”
A cold light flashed.
Under the gazes of the people from Royal City, the High Priestess was beheaded by Marvin!

Marvin moved as fast as lightning, grasping the opportunity perfectly!
But he didn’t get any battle exp after this attack!
The High Priestess’ head floated in the air. A mysterious force seemed to be at work.
Marvin sneered and rushed up to the head!
As countless eyes watched, the High Priestess’ head was sent flying by Marvin’s kick.
The Hellhound roared and one of the heads opened its mouth, swallowing the High Priestess’ head!
“Roar!”
It roared again toward the sky. All the Zealots took a step back.
This kind of scene was simply too shocking!
‘Still want to resurrect after your soul entered an infernal lifeform’s stomach?’
A sneer flashed in Marvin’s eyes. While the Priests were still stunned with disbelief, he began to harvest their lives.
Although these Priests had a Divine Power’s protection, it was weakened a lot by the acid splashes.
Marvin harvested them all effortlessly!
One man, one dog.
They surprisingly were able to easily shatter the Shrine!
…
Regardless if it was Royal City’s civilians on the streets, the nobles in the Imperial Palace’s court, or the bitterly entangled Great Elder and Orland who stopped their fight…
Everyone watched that desperate scene in the sky.
Terror rose in their hearts!
The High Priestess died!
The Shadow Shrine’s High Priestess!
The almighty powerhouse who had received God’s blessing was actually beheaded like this by a traveller from another plane.
Moreover, her head was swallowed by the Hellhound.
In that split second, even the most resolute followers wavered in their faith!
They always believed that nothing could beat God, but his Apostle got killed like this.
If the Apostle could be killed, then what about God himself?
No one dared to keep thinking about it!
“Stay your hand.” Orland looked at the Great Elder indifferently. “The Era of the Shrine has already ended.”
“Impossible!” The Great Elder’s face grew malevolent as he yelled fanatically, “Father God is omnipotent!”
“You blasphemer and heathen, the only end for you is destruction!”
A disturbance also appeared among the Shrine Paladins.
Although it was quickly settled, a few seeds of discord were buried as a result.
At that time, a noble pointed to the cloud in the sky and yelled, “Look!”
“God, God, the Idol…”
Everyone looked where he was pointing and discovered that the large statue had slowly walked out from among the shadows.
It opened both eyes which flickered with the radiance of Divinity. Its eyes were cold, as if looking at pigs and dogs.
“Thou wait… Evil…”
“Destroy…”
Its voice was stammering in the Ancient God Language!
Marvin immediately felt that things weren’t good when he heard that voice!
That was a big move.
‘It should be Glynos. That bastard is probably hiding in his God Realm and controlling this Idol.’
Marvin had a swift mind and an extremely high reaction speed. This stuttering statue was a huge trap. It was definitely preparing an extremely frightening Divine Spell!
He had to run, now or never!
He used both Night Boundary and Shadow Escape, and escaped about four kilometers away in an instant.
But the foolish Hellhound didn’t react so quickly.
The Zealots at his side were already exterminated, leaving only a few unsteady Shrine Paladins!
In fact, if not for the sudden change in the statue, the Paladins might have already run away!
Not everyone would view their own lives as dirt. There were only a few fanatical Zealots after all.
The Hellhound roared as it charged into the statue.
A dazzling radiance suddenly erup
ted from the Idol’s eyes!
[Divine Spell - Molten Judgement!]
That radiance condensed into two molten pillars and ruthlessly crashed onto the Hellhound’s two heads!
Instantly, night turned to day as the whole Eastern Snow Mountain shook!
God’s might was world-shaking!
The frightening pillars of light instantly shattered the Hellhound’s two heads. Only the central one remained because it was relatively smaller, and unexpectedly avoided the damage!
Those Clerics and Paladins were also In the range of the pillars of light, and they instantly melted!
This frightening power shocked everyone.
The Two Headed Hellhound who had been so awe-inspiring just now had his two heads burst!
The people of Royal City began to kneel down one after the other while praying for God to forgive them.
In the court, even if the nobles were a bit better, they also had ashen expressions.
The Great Elder’s eyes were brimming with tears of excitement. “This is God’s might!”
“You are all sinners! Be prepared to receive God’s judgement!”
Worry flashed through Nana’s expression for a moment.
‘Can you really do it?’
She recalled the image of Marvin’s face when he made a solemn vow.
Those who never experienced that shock wouldn’t be able to imagine how they now felt.
Previously she felt some certainty that the Nottingheim family could go through this war in one piece, but now, the Idol’s power made her a bit afraid!
Where was that Marvin guy now?!
…
The cloud in the sky seemed to have a negative effect.
Everyone cowered from the god’s might. They knelt and kept praying while muttering.
The Princess’ recent speech and efforts seemed to have been wasted.
The Idol moved very slowly, his pace extremely firm.
He firmly stepped on the dog’s last head!
The Hellhound struggled powerlessly and could only let out tearful roar.
“Judgement… No one can escape!” the statue declared coldly.
It used all its strength and ruthlessly stomped down!
The Hellhound’s final head was about to be crushed by that frightening statue, but who would have thought that a loud sound would suddenly echo from another part of the Eastern Snow Mountain. No… More than a loud sound, it was a ray of light!
The ray of light was like thunder, as it echoed with a loud rumbling sound and landed directly on the Idol.
“Bang!”
The Idol was left on the verge of collapse.
“Insignificant mortal…”
It wasn’t able to finish.
About two kilometers away, Marvin disdainfully shouted, “A bunch of nonsense!”
He then skillfully reloaded!
“Bang!”
Another Dragon Tooth!
This time, the Dragon Tooth pierced the Idol’s neck.
“Crash!” The Idol’s head started cracking!
The Divinity in its eyes began to dim!
“Isn’t it just a big rock?”
“Another shot is enough to destroy you!”
Marvin endured the acute pain from the recoil and loaded the last round of Dragon Tooth in Brilliant Purple!
The statue had turned, facing Marvin.
A frightening power appeared to be gathering.
But Marvin pulled the lever for the last time!
Brilliant Purple shattered the Idol’s neck!
As everyone in the Royal City watched in shock, that high and mighty Idol crumbled to pieces!
“Rumble!”
Crushed pieces of rock fell down.
Marvin held Brilliant Purple while languidly lying on the ground, full of sweat.
“Fortunately, this Lord’s firing speed is a bit faster!”

Chapter 308: Godly Dexterity

The prayer hall on the Eastern Snow Mountain collapsed along with the Idol!
The rumbling sound kept echoing.
The Hellhound managed to escape the disaster, his body rapidly shrinking and quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.
The Shrine became deathly silent.
The Paladins and Clerics who survived the calamity were at a loss.
At this point, they didn’t know what they should do.
The High Priestess fell!
The Idol fell!
The Shadow God’s palace had already lost all hope.
…
In the Royal City, a happy expression could be seen in Nana’s clear eyes.
‘He really did it!’
Even if she had a sort of indescribable faith in that plane traveller from the start, when Marvin truly made it, she was still in disbelief.
And if the Princess was in disbelief, the other nobles and officials were even more so.
Even the always stolid Royal Iron Guards were also stunned for a second.
“Impossible!”
“Impossible! How could Father God…”
The Great Elder saw everything and roared toward the sky.
A terrifying amount of Divine Power gathered in his body.
Great Scholar Orland noticed that the situation wasn’t good and opened a Teleportation Door at his side. He tackled him in.
The two were entangled, flying in the sky!
The remaining Shrine Paladins were already completely disconcerted. They had lost their faith and didn’t know what to do.
Princess Nana said with a smile, “Paladins!”
“Open your eyes.”
“The God from the olden days has already fallen. We humans will eventually build a free country.”
“We shouldn’t fight one another.”
“Surrender.”
The Paladins firmly held their weapons, looking at each other in dismay.
“Clang!”
No one knew who first let go of his weapon, but afterward, the sound of weapons falling one after the other rang out.
They had pale faces, as if they were mourning for a relative.
Some even fell to the ground and couldn’t stop themselves from crying bitterly.
The beliefs they had in life, the faith they had in that supreme Idol for half a lifetime… it all broke down just like that?
Some people couldn’t accept this and killed themselves!
Soon, a very chaotic scene could be seen!
…
In the northern hills, a shadowy figure slowly came out.
An old lady wearing a cloak came to the forefront with the help of people lending her their arms.
She held a crystal ball. The scene of the Idol being crushed and the Shrine collapsing kept repeating inside.
Everyone cried from excitement!
They left the hills one after the other, arriving at the northern boundary of White Elephant City.
Thirty years ago, they took up the banner of rebellion with some thirty thousand people.
Now, only eight hundred old soldiers remained.
They were known as the [Rebels].
But the fooled people didn’t know that they were the forerunners of the rebellion against the god in this plane.
They were the best of mankind.
“Let’s go.”
“It’s time to go home.”
The old lady spoke in a rough voice as eight hundred people supported each other and walked toward White Elephant City.
…
All over Arborea Plane.
Shrines received news of the Eastern Snow Mountain’s Main God Palace. The Priests and the Paladins were panicking.
Some gathered their forces to attack Royal City, but there were still a few fools just praying to God.
Not realizing that their God already couldn’t do anything.
If Glynos was really in the people’s hearts, why were so
many people willing to go against him?
Ultimately, he regarded Arborea as a pen to raise livestock, and the Shrine was merely his shepherd and harvester.
He squeezed them dry while being regarded as “Father God” which didn’t work out in the end.
It could be said that the reason Marvin chose this plane for his first Planar War also was a bit related to that.
He naturally had to make the best of everything!
Moreover, the enmity between him and the Shadow Prince in this life, as well as in the previous one, was as deep as the sea. If he didn’t fuck him over, then who should he target?
Also, the moment the Idol shattered, nine tall shadows simultaneously appeared near these Shrines.
Arborea had a total of ten Shrines, and the most supreme one was the Eastern Snow Mountain’s Main Shrine!
The other nine were scattered in various parts of the world.
But Marvin, who was knowledgeable of Arborea’s history and forces, had made proper preparations.
He wanted to thoroughly destroy the Shadow Prince’s foundations in Arborea tonight!
Only that way could he completely erase Glynos’ traces from this plane.
…
Western Desert, above an oasis. The Shrine Paladins had just awakened from their sleep when a frightening shadow crashed into the Shrine.
“Who is it!”
“Quick, stop them!”
The Paladins got up in succession and started gathering with the Priests. The Senior Priest in charge of this Shrine was also woken up and alerted of the situation.
But what shocked them was that the enemy was only one man!
One person alone dared to challenge the Shadow Shrine?
The Senior Priest sneered, “You heathen! Don’t think that destroying an Idol means that you can destroy all traces of Father God in this plane.”
“Father God is everywhere.”
The tall Dark Knight calmly replied while holding a heavy sword, “It doesn’t matter. I just have to keep killing till there is no more.”
“Even a weak god like Glynos, I’ll kill.”
The Senior Priest felt his heart tighten. He angrily shouted back, “Who are you?!”
He could feel that this frightening guy didn’t lie.
The murderous aura on his body… And the resentment on his body, these had been left by the gods and extremely powerful lifeforms who cursed him before dying!
But he was still alive.
This was enough to explain a lot of things.
“I didn’t have a name for a very long time.”
