The nobles were only thinking of preserving their own forces, and even more so now that General Leonhardt died. The temporary leaders didn’t have any way of controlling them.
And the Wizard Corps was also acting like a restless nest of bees!
They were unlikely to desert since after all, they were led by a Legend Wizard, but the war was gradually deviating from its original path!
…
Hearing the Black Dragon’s words, Marvin didn’t say anything.
He only faintly smiled and pointed the Dragon Slaying Spear toward the punitive army.
Monica’s face became deathly pale!
She couldn’t help but berate, “Black Dragon Izaka! We have a contract…”
“Go fuck your contract!”
Izaka’s hate toward Monica had already reached an extreme!
If not for that woman, would he have been caught by this frightening killing monster?
He reminisced about when he rampaged across the entire continent as a majestic Ancient Black Dragon, an existence that couldn’t be threatened. But now he could only bow his head to a Human, which made him extremely depressed!
Not long ago, he had still been ridiculing those Dragon races that used Magic for being too weak, using their special skills to fight while the Black Dragons were overpowered with just their physical bodies.
Now, he hated it!
If he had some magic, he might have had a way out!
Although the Dragon Slaying Spear was pointed at the punitive army, he could feel that whenever Marvin wanted, it could come down.
At that time, his life would inevitably come to an abrupt end!
The Black Dragon was very irritated.
He could only vent on that woman and the army behind her!
What bullshit contract?
This Great Dragon doesn’t care!
An angry flame flickered in Black Dragon Izaka’s eyes as his stomach reddened!
“Drop dead!” the Black Dragon bellowed.
He raised his head and aimed at that woman in the sky!
Monica shouted in alarm, “No good! It’s a Lava Breath! Dodge!”
The Wizard Corps behind her was in disarray.
Besides Monica, who had a high resistance to Dragon Might, the rest couldn’t dodge quickly enough.
The lava spurted out of the Black Dragon’s belly like a volcano erupting!
In an instant, bright flames burst across the dusky battlefield, soon followed by mournful sounds.
What Arcane Barrier? In front of a Lava Breath, it became nothing!
Some didn’t even get to utter a sound before turning to ashes from the Lava Breath’s heat!
One Dragon Breath exterminated half of the Wizard Corps!
Monica was startled and angry, having trouble taking in what was happening. She didn’t know how the situation could have developed to this stage.
Everything had been going so smoothly, but it changed with the appearance of Marvin!
She gnashed her teeth in anger while glowering at Marvin and preparing a Legendary Spell.
…
“You go exterminate that army. Don’t play tricks with me. If you escape, I’ll catch you.”
Marvin lightly took a step and suddenly disappeared!
Black Dragon Izaka nodded hurriedly.
Marvin had entered the Shadow Plane!
That sense of death that had been pressuring the Black Dragon suddenly disappeared, relieving him.
He instinctively wanted to escape but unfathomably felt a pair of eyes watching him.
He didn’t dare to try to flee.
He could only vent his anger on the punitive army!
The Wizard Corps was already out. Facing the berserk Black Dragon, the Human troops were simply no match!
They had attacked White River Valley this time in order to easily earn some military merits. They didn’t even bring siege weapons.
If the army had at least a few ballistas, the situation would be a lot better.
Unfortunately, they had none.
As mournful voices cried out, the Black Dragon rushed into the sea of people, his wings harvesting many lives!
The tyrannical Black Dragon was just venting his rage!
No one on the battlefield could fight him.
The victory seemed to have been in their hands, but now everyone was fleeing, unable to escape the Black Dragon’s claws!
Large-scale massacres were common practice for Black Dragons.
In order to live, in order to vent, Izaka was going all out.
In few seconds, half of the army had fallen down on the ground, while the remaining people had scattered. The army had already collapsed!
Madeline and River Shore City’s defenders looked at all this with disbelief.
The one leading the Knights was rubbing his eyes as he forced a smile. “I swear, this is the strangest scene I’ve seen in all my life!”
A young soldier at his side pointed out, “Sir Gordian, you also said that last time Lord Marvin challenged the Heavenly Sword Saint in the Scarlet Monastery!”
Gordian was speechless.
The group of soldiers around him couldn’t help but laugh quietly.
The Black Dragon’s Dragon Might wasn’t covering them. It was only aimed at the enemies, and the defenders were also further away.
Thus, despite the terrible scene on the battlefield, they didn’t feel too scared.
These people originally planned to share the inevitable fate of Madeline and River Shore City.
They hadn’t expected the situation to end like that.
Regardless of what the Alliance decided to do to face Marvin’s rise, they felt that the situation wasn’t too bad.
Marvin had entered the Shadow Plane, and seeing Legend Wizard Monica’s grave expression, she was clearly feeling great pressure from their great Overlord.
When she fought with Madeline before, she had been very relaxed.
Gordian had a complicated expression.
He recalled the first time he met Marvin. They met in the Plague Envoy’s basement and the latter helped him behead the Plague Envoy.
At that time, Marvin was still wanted as Masked Twin Blades.
Now, Marvin was already a Legend he had to look up to.
‘White River Valley will rise…’
This was what everyone in River Shore City thought.
…
In the Shadow Plane, the distorted space kept flowing over Marvin.
This sensation made him feel like a fish back in water.
In the past, he’d frequently been in contact with the Shadow Plane. This world was very magical and had countless points of contact with the Prime Material Plane.
He could see Monica’s layers of defensive spells.
Legendary Distortion Field, Legendary Arcane Barrier, Legendary Undying Body, Legendary Ice Armor…
She was covered in all kinds of defensive spells, to the point that even her appearance was blurry.
‘Truly afraid of death…’ Marvin sneered.
But regardless, today was the day she would die!
After becoming a Legend, Marvin wouldn’t hold back any longer.
So what if it was Dark Phoenix? At most, she could be only considered a Half-God right now!
If he couldn’t defeat her alone, why not simply call up a group to beat her with numbers?
The Ruler of the Night class came with its own army!
Marvin knew that at level 2, the Ruler of the Night class had an aura that could buff armies! This must have been part of the reason the Night Monarch was able to fight his way through the Chaotic Era.
…
In the sky, Monica was staring at the Black Dragon wreaking havoc on the army and couldn’t help feeling sour.
After Marvin vanished, she had cast many defensive spells on herself, afraid to act carelessly.
‘He still hasn’t appeared?’
‘No good, I must let Teacher know. Marvin didn’t die and e
ven advanced to Legend…’
‘I can’t delay.’
Monica was anxious and frightened.
She bit her lip and opened a Teleportation Door!
But suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of her!
“Don’t worry, your teacher will know about this.”
“But you…”
“You won’t be leaving this place!”
Before Marvin even finished his own words, he ruthlessly slashed down with his curved dagger!
Desperation Style!
Azure Leaf – Magic Penetration!

Monica had expected Marvin to strike at that moment!
In an instant, a pale green light flew out from her body and surrounded Marvin!
“I’ve been waiting for you for a very long time!” Monica sneered. “There is no Legend class that can contend with Legend Wizards!”
Despite being enveloped by that green light, Marvin just ridiculed with disdain on his face, “Too much nonsense!”
His movements weren’t hampered at all and Monica was surprised to see that curved dagger still slashing down!
The Magic Penetration property didn’t trigger on the first attack, but Marvin wasn’t worried.
Since he was in close range, Monica was already dead.
That green light was a curse that would debuff the target’s speed. Yet Marvin had the Curse Agreement specialty, which made him extremely resistant to curses. A curse like Monica’s simply had no effect on him.
Before Monica could finish any further spell preparations, the Desperation Style was displayed like a sudden gust of wind!
In an instant, Marvin attacked six times!
Magic Penetration eventually triggered a few times and the [Azure Leaf]s easily shattered the Arcane Barrier and the Distortion Field.
The last attack directly chopped Monica’s head!
“Woosh!”
Marvin swung a reverse slash and Monica’s head fell to the ground!
Her eyes were still wide open with disbelief at the events before her death.
A Legend Wizard able to cast earth-shattering spells was killed so effortlessly by Marvin.
This scene was astounding.
Monica died and the Alliance group had completely collapsed.
Faced with the might of the Black Dragon, everyone had dropped their armors and weapons, fleeing in chaos.
Half an hour later, only a pile of dead bodies remained on the battlefield.
At Madeline’s direction, River Shore City’s soldiers began piling the corpses up to burn them.
She did as Marvin told her and set up a sentry post on the northern part of the main road.
The news of the army returning after suffering a crushing defeat would definitely spread through Jewel Bay in a short amount of time.
As for the news of Marvin surviving and breaking into the Legend Realm, it couldn’t be hidden either.
But that was the result Marvin wanted.
With the impending Great Calamity, it would take at least 20 days or so for the Alliance to gather their elites.
And within these 20 days, the world would see a chaotic change.
The Wizard Rule Era would end.
At that time, this conflict would die down because people would be concerned with how to live in this cruel world.
He made Madeline pay attention to the main road just in order to be prepared.
Under the worshipful gazes of River Shore City’s inhabitants, Marvin stepped on the Black Dragon and headed east.
…
Black Coral Islands, in a dark hall. A black-gowned woman suddenly opened her eyes!
“Monica… actually died.”
“Who did it? Madeline, that newly advanced Legend, simply doesn’t have the capability! Could it be one of the other Legends associated with Marvin?”
After thinking for a bit, she grew agitated.
She then started mumbling something.
The Ancient God Language echoed in the hall and a lifelike scene appeared before her eyes.
In that scene, a man was standing on a Black Dragon and brandishing a spear while looking down on the world.
He had a faint smile on his face, apparently containing the hint of a sneer.
“Marvin!”
“What!?”
Dark Phoenix’s face contorted.
In this world, no one could deceive her perception.
She had already seen him on the brink of death at the hands of the fake Hathaway!
‘Could that have been faked?’
Dark Phoenix’s heart was beating crazily.
She faintly felt that there was an issue with her plan.
And it was because of this man!
She bit her lip, closed her eyes, and connected to that bit of Divine Source.
But how could she have expected that the Divine Source had already disappeared!
It wasn’t hidden, and it wasn’t that she just couldn’t get in touch with it… it had simply ceased to exist!
Dark Phoenix’s expression sank.
‘Even my Divine Source has been dealt with… And to be able to show me a fake scene… Only one thing is able to do that.’
Marvin had an Artifact in hand!
Only that Artifact could trick a Half-God’s senses.
“The Book of Nalu!”
Rage flashed through Dark Phoenix’s eyes.
Her cunning face became somewhat sinister.
‘No wonder you would rather pay this price to protect him.’
‘What’s that kid’s origin? How could he grow so fast?’
‘But the price to provoke me isn’t something you can afford!’
Dark Phoenix suddenly disappeared from the hall.
The next moment, she appeared outside the frozen isle.
“Hathaway, you really think I can’t break your Ice Crystal World?”
Cruelty flashed in Dark Phoenix’s eyes. A black flame appeared in her hand.
It grew in size and then suddenly flew toward the ice crystals.
Facing such a strange flame, the ice couldn’t resist and slowly melted.
Hathaway opened her eyes from within the ice. Her expression was peaceful. Facing the erosion from the black fire, she didn’t say a word.
In contrast, Dark Phoenix’s expression became increasingly more twisted and sinister.
“Your sweetheart is very troublesome. He not only avoided my chase, but also killed my disciple.”
Hathaway’s ice was gradually melting, and meanwhile, her body kept changing.
6 years old, 16 years old, 26 years old, the three phases kept cycling.
Her voice came out:
“You lost.”
Dark Phoenix showed a vile smile. “Whether I’ve lost has yet to be known, but today you’ll die.”
Hathaway remained silent and didn’t even try to resist the black fire’s power.
There seemed to be some issue with her body. The Legend aura was gradually being extinguished.
Dark Phoenix watched coldly. This kind of flame had the same origin as the Divine Fire that had harmed the Great Elven King. Hathaway certainly wouldn’t be able to resist.
In the end, all the ice had melted and the black fire was wrapping around Hathaway.
She frowned in pain.
The black fire seemed like manacles that spread upward from her legs and gradually crushed her body.
In a short dozen seconds, Hathaway was turned into ashes!
Dark Phoenix finally had an air of satisfaction.
But suddenly, in the remains of the Divine Fire, the ashes gathered to form into a 16 year old Hathaway.
Dark Phoenix was stunned but immediately continued burning Hathaway.
Soon, Hathaway’s 16 year old shape was burnt, leaving almost nothing behind.
Only ashes.
At that time, Dar
k Phoenix noticed something wrong.
This Divine Fire was supposed to burn everything. How could it leave ashes behind?
Sure enough, those ashes once again gathered and turned into a 6 year old child.
Her eyes were vacant.
Dark Phoenix was angry and kept burning her furiously.
She once again burned the 6 year old to ashes. From beginning to the end, she only frowned in pain, never letting out any sound.
This time, the ashes didn’t recombine.
Dark Phoenix looked at these ashes doubtfully, about to collect them.
But before she approached, the ashes started to flicker with light.
Twelve aged shadows appeared from the light.
They seemed to be mumbling something.
Dark Phoenix was overwhelmed with shock!
Though very few would know of these twelve Witches’ origins, Dark Phoenix, as a being from the 3rd Era with extensive knowledge, naturally knew about them.
They were the twelve aged Anzed Witches!
In the Anzed legends, the twelve Witches were the protectors of the Ashes Magic Precept.
Unfortunately, the Anzed had faded from history a long time ago. The twelve Witches were only considered myths and legends.
The twelve Witches mumbled and disappeared.
The ashes disappeared with them.
Dark Phoenix was distraught with anxiety and immediately waved her hand, summoning a fairy.
“Tell that fat pig to attack Sword Harbor immediately!”
“If they haven’t seized White River Valley before dawn, he doesn’t need to act as the Pirate King anymore!”
…
What Dark Phoenix didn’t know was that the moment the ashes disappeared, a light slowly descended in the middle of Feinan’s Millenium Mountain Range.
A 6 year old girl opened her eyes, at a loss.
Standing in front of her was a wrinkled old woman.
The little girl suddenly began to cry bitterly.
The old lady held her softly, her countenance filled with love.
“Don’t be afraid, you broke the curse.”
“The prophecy said that the person who breaks the curse will inevitably become the new Witch Ruler.”
“You will quickly regain the power you lost. You will grow stronger than before, a lot stronger.”
The little girl couldn’t stop sobbing. “I know, I know…”
