It was a statue of a beautiful young girl.
She was kneeling on the ground, seemingly accepting some punishment with a heartbreakingly painful expression on her face.
A spear was piercing the young girl’s heart, and the scene looked exceptionally cruel.
Her hands were hanging in the air as if she was holding something, and one could see a faint flickering blue spot.
“Damn thief!”
The Wizard cursed, suddenly unable to restrain his anger, “You actually stole Luna’s Cold Light’s Grasps. I’ll carve you into a thousand pieces!”
Suddenly, a crystal ball in front of him burst out with glaring lights.
A scene appeared inside it.
Two men were climbing the mountain.
One of them was carrying a weak, young girl on his back.
The green flames in the Wizard’s eyes flared up.
“I won’t let anyone get close to you, Luna, my darling…”

Chapter 509: Wilderness Hall
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
“Master, we don’t have much time. That place will open soon. More people are approaching.”
A charming voice echoed in the darkness.
The Wizard turned and looked at the sexy woman with no change in his expression. “I’ll set up an absolutely safe boundary to ensure that no trace of Regis will be found. As for you, you’ll have to stay here.”
The woman was wearing a green dress and looked like quite the temptress.
“No, I have to be with you.”
“The [Wilderness Hall] is too dangerous, we know that the Wilderness God is an Ancient Deity. We aren’t clear about his ancient name. I have to be with you.”
She sounded worried.
The Wizard shook his head silently. He glanced at the statue once more and calmly said, “Someone needs to stay and guard Luna.”
“This snowy mountain has to become a forbidden area. Whether from the north or the south, no one should want to approach. There are two reckless guys trying to come from the south, so I’ll need you to deal with them.”
The woman wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Before she could come up with the right words, the Wizard waved his hand impatiently and declared, “Good, things are settled.”
“I’ll leave you my [Puppy] to make it easier for you.”
Before the woman could answer, he stepped away through the darkness.
The woman stood there silently for a long time.
She looked at that lifelike statue of the suffering girl with jealousy.
“It’s been over a millennium, yet I’m still considered less important than the statue of a dead Goddess…”
“Miss Silvermoon, what kind of charm can make a man forever remain so infatuated?” she mumbled under her breath before disappearing into the darkness.
The crystal ball was still floating in the air with two shadows climbing the snow mountain in it.
…
The outskirts of Holy Light City.
A beautiful girl wearing plain clothes was walking eastwards.
She seemed very lonely, but only she herself knew how much she had endured on the way.
“Isabelle, why can’t you be an ordinary girl? You’re really not interested in any gossip?”
“The Cold Light’s Grasp daggers are Miss Silvermoon’s Artifact, and Miss Silvermoon is Moon Goddess Faniya’s daughter. Aren’t you interested about the circumstances of her death?”
“Oh yeah, it’s rumored that before she fell, she had a lover called Bandel. He was a mortal who had outstanding talents as a Wizard…”
“Hey hey hey, as an Apprentice Assassin, you can’t ignore your teacher…”
Isabelle’s face was still expressionless.
After a long time, she whispered, “Teacher, how long has it been since you talked to someone?”
That voice was instantly silenced.
After some time, it said with a lonely tone, “I already forgot.”
“I’m not clear about many things. In those years, that damn Witch peeled me from my physical body and turned my soul into a wisp, I’ve been muddle-headed for a long time.”
“I often wanted to die, but the Witch’s Witchcraft made it impossible for me. I could only struggle at death’s door… Until I met you.”
“A small girl actually dared to rush into the most dangerous area of the Assassin Alliance. At that time, I understood that you weren’t an ordinary mortal, but someone that could continue my legacy!”
Isabelle’s brow slightly twitched for a moment. “Actually, that day… I was only lost,” she admitted.
The wisp fell silent again.
“Furthermore, are you really one of the founders of the Assassin Alliance, the great Winter Assassin?” Isabelle had a strange expression on her face as she asked, “Why was I taught in my Knowledge of Assassins lesson that [The Winter Assassin never laughed, he was a man as cold as ice that rarely smiled. Only death and blood could excite him…]
The wisp roared, “They did that? Heaven… that was just a joke! They actually wrote that as teaching material… This is truly leading people astray. Why should an Assassin be as cold as ice all the time? Wouldn’t his face say [I’m an Assassin] then?”
“Don’t tell me that being cool-headed isn’t an excellent quality?” Isabelle said in a questioning tone.
“No. We don’t need that. As an outstanding Assassin, it doesn’t matter whether we are calm or not, because in the end, these are just disguises,” the Winter Assassin answered seriously.
Isabelle nodded, half-understanding.
“You didn’t actually understand did you?” the wisp pressed, in a bad mood, “I can see your expression. That kind of unchanging poker face shouldn’t appear on a girl in the spring of her youth like you.”
“You should let out a smile occasionally. Otherwise, people will think you are ill.”
Isabelle calmly replied, “I was originally abnormal. I stayed eight years in that so-called [Magic Space]. After coming out, you told me that only a month had passed in Feinan. And now we reached the Crimson Wasteland, and this place’s time-flow is also very different.”
“Honestly, I don’t know how old I am. That whole time in the space, you only taught me how to kill. How could I know about the rest? I already forgot the last time I smiled, just like you forgot the last time you met someone.”
The wisp sarcastically quipped, “This is actually quite good. Your people were originally abnormal. Abnormal is good.”
Isabelle clearly didn’t want to keep chatting with the Winter Assassin. The young girl had always been very quiet. If not for that Winter Assassin saving her life in the Assassin Alliance’s forbidden area, she wouldn’t have kept company with this elder who always kept chattering for so long.
But as she was moving forward, she randomly took the initiative to ask, “When will we return to Feinan?”
The Winter Assassin decisively answered, “When we get the Cold Light’s Grasps.”
Isabelle nodded. A man’s silhouette flashed past her eyes before her eyes crimson eyes returned to normal.
She kept going forward, and at the end of the road was a hall.
The hall had been standing in the endless wilderness for a long time. It had a simple and desolate aura.
“Wilderness Hall, the site of a group of Ancient Deities.”
“If you have enough courage and don’t want to remain a trifling character in this chaotic world, then enter.”
The Winter Assassin’s voice was unusually serious.
Isabelle unhesitantly walked in.
…
The snowstorm was still bursting with power. But this didn’t slow the resolute pace of the two men.
A Ruler of the Night’s Resistances were very high. Someone less capable would have already frozen to death in such a climate.
But Marvin only felt a slight chill. He g
lanced at the Paladin.
Griffin was carrying the weak girl, and each of his steps was very firm. There was a halo around him that protected the girl from the extreme weather.
She had fallen asleep and seemed to be quite comfortable.
Obviously, the girl trusted him quite a bit. This Paladin also had a certain charisma that made others tend to trust him.
“What’s her name?” Marvin asked as he kept walking through the icy winds.
Griffin threw a strange look at Marvin before answering, “Jasmine.”
“Poor child.” Marvin felt that sinister power on her body and sighed, “I once suffered from a terrible curse. It almost took my life. But I was lucky, someone saved me.”
The Paladin nodded. “There will always be evil power in this world,” he agreed.
Marvin looked behind them and sneered, “Power isn’t necessarily evil, but there will always be people with evil thoughts.”
Griffin calmly said, “That doesn’t matter. They only want to pass through here safely.”
“As long as they don’t affect my trip to Holy Light City, I won’t care about their schemes.”
Clearly, they had quite outstanding Perception as they had already discovered the small team following them.
It’s just that they didn’t bother about it.
They kept pushing forward. After they were about halfway there, the winds became more powerful.
To their surprise, they heard the faint sound of a crying baby.
The sky was dark and if not for their immense power, they wouldn’t have been able to keep going forward.
Despite this, the suddenly intensifying snowstorm still halted their progress.
Snow fell crazily and in a short time, it already reached their waists!
Marvin’s eyes widened as his eyes swept across the darkness.
This obviously wasn’t something natural. Someone was definitely controlling the weather.
A dark shadow suddenly flashed past.
Marvin had yet to move when the Paladin had already shouted angrily!
At that instant, a dense holy power burst from his body.
The snow disappeared in a ten-meter radius, leaving no trace behind. It was replaced by boundless Order Power!
The Truth Scale!
A huge faint shadow appeared behind the Paladin. It was more exaggerated this time. Marvin even saw the shadow of an expressionless man holding up the Truth Scale. Under the light cast by the Paladin, a fog-like lifeform became visible.
“A Mist Dragon?”
Marvin was astonished when he saw the enemy’s appearance.
Why would that Mist Dragon block their path?
This made no sense.
But he didn’t have time to consider further, as the Mist Dragon suddenly went wild. He looked up and saw that a large amount of clouds began to gather!
And even more frightening was that at the same time, the mountain began to shake!
Marvin could see that the top of the snowy mountain was already starting to collapse!
It wanted to trigger an avalanche!
A few kilometers away, the four people stealthily following recoiled in shock. Their eyes were filled with fear.
“It’s a Mist Dragon!”
“Crimson Wasteland’s Mist Dragon, and it’s definitely an Ancient one. Shit, they actually provoked such a disaster.”
“They are screwed, we should use the chance to quickly escape!”
Chapter 510: Bone Dragon
Chapter 510: Bone Dragon
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
A Mist Dragon, as a Lesser Dragon, wasn’t such big a threat in itself.
But the people present knew that the one causing them so much trouble was definitely a powerful Legend Wizard.
This Mist Dragon should be his pet.
And from the appearance of this avalanche, this terrain must have been altered completely.
The avalanche that the group of four had met with last time wasn’t on the same scale at all.
If they didn’t escape, then despite being Legends, they would still be buried forever under the snow!
The four escaped in panic, exposing their trail.
Marvin and the Paladin coincidentally glanced back at the same time with disdainful expressions.
These people were truly opportunistic, running away after seeing that things were getting difficult.
But they also didn’t have time to bother with these people.
The avalanche was rushing down pretty fast. It felt like a stampede was engulfing everything in its wake!
And a strong pressure was pushing down in the sky.
Marvin could feel that there was a gravity field affecting the sky above the mountain.
Whether it was a flying creature or someone using a flying skill, they would fall to the ground due to the effects of the force field.
And they were higher in the mountain than the four adventurers that ran off, so it would be impossible for them to flee now.
And in addition to the avalanche surging down at them, there was the Mist Dragon on the side that would definitely not let them go.
The fierce winds of the snowstorm whistled violently, but were unable to block Marvin’s sight. He calmly locked onto the Mist Dragon’s location, both hands already on the handles of the curved daggers at his waist.
He had put away the Greyhawk Staff.
He had been pretending to be a Great Druid, but at this critical time, he would still use his true strength as a Ruler of the Night!
The Mist Dragon’s silhouette was illusory and it was had to keep track of under the cover of the snowstorm.
Fortunately, with his astonishing eyesight, Marvin was able to perceive the movements of the elusive shadow.
Marvin turned and shouted, “I’ll deal with the Mist Dragon, can you withstand the avalanche?”
The Paladin had a surprised expression on his face.
He hadn’t thought that Marvin would still be this relaxed in such a situation.
He had been planning to work on his own, since he figured that the youth next to him would likely panic and be of no help. After all, the situation looked quite dire.
But he hadn’t expected the youth to step up and volunteer to deal with the Mist Dragon.
Mist Dragons weren’t that easy to handle, especially in such an extreme climate. It would be able to merge with the snowstorm, making it difficult to keep track of it. Once found an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, it would inevitably result in a serious injury.
In these circumstances, taking the initiative to attack was still dangerous.
But the Paladin reacted pretty quickly and understood Marvin’s goal.
‘He is thinking of easing my burden.’
Griffin immediately realized that Marvin was looking at that weak girl on his back, who made it inconvenient for him to go on the offensive.
The girl was still cursed, so who knew what sudden movements might do to her body?
Thinking of this, the Paladin’s heart couldn’t help but feel warm.
He silently nodded at Marvin.
Marvin let out a breath. He then disappeared.
The crazy surge of snow was about to crash down on the Paladin and bury him. Only the huge advancing torrent could be seen.
But suddenly, a golden light burst out!
Truth Scale!
A dazzling semicircle of light formed in an instant, supported by the shadow of the Truth Scale. The snow around him instantly evaporated!
Griffin’s hair was disheveled, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, even with the power of a Paladin, it was difficult to handle a magic-made avalanche.
The snow coursed around the area covered by the Truth Scale and continued falling down past them!
“Woosh!”
A shadow jumped out from the mist formed by the snow hitting the shield and kept flickering from place to place, following so
me tracks!
…
At the foot of the mountain, the four adventurers looked at the mighty shield made by the Truth Scale.
“He was actually so powerful.”
Fenno’s tone was bitter.
If he had known earlier, he would have decided to stay with the other two!
As long as he hid behind the cover, he wouldn’t have been affected by the avalanche.
Now, even though the four of them had escaped out of the range of the snow, they still faced another challenge.
A green-clothed woman was smilingly looking at them.
She had a powerful magical aura, and her eyes had a hard-to-conceal feeling of temptation.
“Come out, Puppy.”
At her call, a Gate suddenly appeared, and a sinister aura came out of it.
The four adventurers held their breaths.
They saw a two-headed Bone Dragon with strange heads. One head was red while the other one black.
“Two Headed Bone Dragon Claudy…” Fenno let out the Dragon’s name with a groan.
This wasn’t an ordinary name in the Crimson Wasteland. Nobody knew how many Legend powerhouses had died under that variant Bone Dragon’s claws.
For a long time, people only dared to move as groups in the southern part of the Delusion Swamp because of that Bone Dragon.
Afterwards, the Bone Dragon suddenly disappeared, and the Delusion Swamp became a bit safer.
No one knew where it went, though some speculated that it was slumbering.
But it now seemed that this wasn’t the case.
That Bone Dragon had clearly been subdued!
And it was called [Puppy]… Although that woman had high magical power, she clearly wasn’t strong enough to subdue a terrifying existence like Claudy.
She must have an even more powerful backer!
The four lost all their intent to fight as they thought of that.
They looked at each other, smiling bitterly.
Rather than their situation now, it would have been better to still be halfway up the mountain fighting alongside Marvin and Griffin. They would have been a lot safer with the Truth Scale.
It was a pity that regrets were useless.
The woman sneered at them, “You were warned last time, and you still dared to come back.”
“This time, none of you will leave!”
