  Suddenly, a shout rang out from next to him. “Stop!”

  It was the captain of the Sorcerer team.

  Jast frowned. Although this team was nominally under his command, they were, in fact, Daniela’s people. He wasn’t fond of them.

  But they were the ones on duty.

  “Are you going against your orders?” Jast pretended to be angry, but actually was secretly delighted.

  This would be a good excuse to exchange this group of people with his own.

  The captain of the Sorcerer team gave Jast a cold look as she chastised, “Sir Jast, you are too nervous. That person below isn’t a Demon.”

  Jast froze. He suddenly realized that the other members of the Sorcerer team were looking at him as if he was a complete moron!

  This felt very discomfiting. He subconsciously looked down again.

  This time, he could see Marvin’s appearance clearly.

  A very handsome and delicate youth.

  He looked a bit familiar.

  Jast’s mind was foggy, as he tried to recall who it was.

  The mocking voice of the Sorcerer team’s captain rang out again, “If the Elder Council learns that you actually tried to attack the famous [Plane Destroyer], [God Slayer], and Feinan’s Hero, Marvin of White River Valley, what do you think will happen?”

  The captain’s voice was clear and easily audible. All the people outside the city heard her words too!

  An uproar broke out!

  God Slayer Marvin!

  If someone asked who was most famous in Feinan right now, most people’s first choice would be the Great Elven King!

  The three Plane Guardians and Astral Beast Eric dared to fight the Gods, there was no doubt about it. Among them, the Great Elven King was the most famous, as the other three didn’t have much of a reputation.

  And below those four, although stories about the North’s Valkyrie and Rocky Mountain’s three sisters had begun spreading, the most famous was still White River Valley’s Overlord!

  Plane Destroyer, Dragon Slayer, God Slayer… There were too many titles for just one person!

  At the start of the Great Calamity, he was the first one to ignite the Source of Fire’s Order. At that time, his appearance had already left a deep mark in everyone’s minds!

  He was the first to stand up against the attacks of the boundless Chaos Magic Power and bring Order back into the world.

  Although it was just a bit, it did give hope to Feinan’s inhabitants, just like the four powerhouses who went to fight the Gods.

  It gave them the hope to keep on living!

  On Marvin’s interface, his Fame tab was bursting from his past actions, especially the world section!

  It wasn’t just Feinan continent, either. Rumors about Marvin were spreading even in the Dead Area and other places.

  He was the Hero of this era!

  He was impressively famous!

  …

  Everyone present was watching Marvin silently, a warm flame burning in their eyes.

  That was the flame of hope.

  Jast’s throat became parched.

  He looked at Marvin, and his figure overlapped with an image in his mind!

  No wonder the youth had seemed vaguely familiar…

  Jast suddenly became startled. Before he could react, Marvin already asked again, “Can we enter, now?”

  The Sorcerer team’s people nodded frantically.

  Such a joke! Who didn’t know about the deep relationship between Marvin and Lady Daniela? Who would dare to keep the gates locked?

  Only someone that was utterly brainless would do that!

  The city gates were opened immediately!

  Marvin took the lead and headed toward the entrance. As he reached the threshold, he turned toward the rest of the refugees and beckoned, “Come in, no one can go against the Great Duke’s decree and no one can drive you away.”

  The refugees were in disbelief as they looked up at Jast.

  The latter was clearly unwilling. He clenched his teeth and struggled to say, “Even if you are Sir Marvin, you can’t interfere with the matters of the capital’s defenses… You may be White River Valley’s Overlord, but you don’t have the final say in Lavis!”

  The flicker of hope that had been sparked in the refugees was suddenly extinguished!

  The members of the Sorcerer team also seemed rather upset. They hadn’t heard about Jast refusing to accept refugees and hadn’t expected him to be so daring. He was openly disobeying the Great Duke’s decree! But the city’s defenses were indeed temporarily in his hands. It could be risky to get involved.

  They were also a bit embarrassed.

  Marvin was glaring daggers. That Sorcerer was truly too stupid.

  “You are currently in charge of the defenses of Lavis’ capital?”

  The latter twitched, feeling startled, and subconsciously nodded, just as Marvin used Night Boundary to appear at the Sorcerer’s side.

  The next second, Jast was only able to see darkness as he felt a pain in the back of his head…

  “Sadly, the one in charge of the defenses of the capital is unwell. It seems that the Great Duke will have to choose a replacement.”

  These were the last words Jast heard before falling unconscious. Despite the fact that he was rapidly losing consciousness, these words almost made him puke blood!

  Jast fell to the ground, but his guards didn’t dare to say anything. The guards were also looking at Marvin with their eyes full of fanatical worship!

  Marvin turned and looked at the people standing outside the city and calmly proclaimed, “Now, no one will stop you from entering the city.”

  Cheers burst out in front of the city.

  The foggy atmosphere had been swept clean, and the city gates’ surroundings became extremely lively.

  The leader of the Sorcerer team forced a smile, and she chose to ignore the fallen Jast.

  “Sir Marvin, I’ve already sent news of your arrival. The Great Duke is very happy about your visit. She has already made preparations to meet you.”

  Marvin blanked out.

  He noticed that the other side had used the pronoun “she”!

  When Marvin entered the parlor and saw Daniela sitting in the first seat, his suspicions were confirmed.

  In fact, in terms of Feinan’s time, the two of them hadn’t met for more than a week, while for Marvin, a month had passed.

  Daniela had changed a lot, and it felt like she now had the natural air of a ruler.

  Her eyes were deep, and although she had a weary expression, she smiled genuinely at Marvin’s arrival.

  Marvin felt rather touched.

  The two chatted for a while, and Marvin became aware that the current Fairhala 1 was different from before.

  The Demon army’s attack on the capital took countless innocents’ lives, along those of many important powerhouses!

  Fallen Angel Turalyon, who the Elder Council and many others had considered the most promising inheritor of the Great Duke’s position… had died in battle!

  And the Great Duke himself disappeared into the depths of the Astral Plane with two Greater Demons.

  There was no further news of him so far.

  Daniela could only silently watch these scenes as she protected the Source of Fire’s Order.

  When they finally repelled the Demon army, Lavis’ people found out that the price they had paid was unimaginable!

  But the days would continue to pass.

  Daniela relied on her own power and prestige to inherit the Great Duke’s position.

  But barely a night had passed before an unforeseen event took place.

  …

  “I truly didn’t think that even in such dire times, someone would jump out to fight against me.”

  “There was still someone that coveted the throne of
Lavis.”

  “This is the worst time for there to be infighting over the leadership of the Dukedom.”

  Everyone had been sent out from the parlor. Marvin had suggested that Isabelle go rest while he caught up with Daniela.

  Only the two of them remained.

  The future Ice Empress finally showed a helpless and emotional side.

  She forced a smile and looked at Marvin, murmuring, “Do you believe it?”

  “If Turalyon had still wanted the throne now, I would have given him the position. He ran the capital for all those years, so I know he would be qualified to inherit the right to rule over Lavis. There were also many people that favored him… But that person is someone else!”

  Marvin was moved. It seemed like quite a lot had happened while he was gone.

  Turalyon died in battle, which was really regretful.

  Whatever their differences, Daniela and Turalyon had been the two most sparkling stars of the Cridland clan.

  After Marvin helped the Great Duke extract the Divine Source, the two of them simultaneously leveled to the Legend rank. With one being an Ice Angel and the other a Fallen Angel, they were two geniuses born at the same time.

  With these two people guarding Lavis, this Sorcerer country might have ended up unifying the North one day!

  But according to Daniela, Turalyon had used a large number of forbidden skills to protect the capital and the people.

  He fought countless Demons, and more than a thousand died at his hands!

  Over a thousand!

  What kind of concept was that?! These weren’t ordinary enemies, they were fierce Demons who had come from the Abyss Gate!

  Turalyon had depleted his strength fighting them off.

  Last time he was here, Marvin didn’t have an especially good opinion of that scheming man. Perhaps it was because of him having a rather strong impression of Daniela. But now, he could only feel respect for that man who had given his all while protecting his homeland.

  In contrast, it was the actions of another one that made Daniela feel shocked and bitterly disappointed.

  “Hubble, my older brother. He wasn’t here the last time you came.” Daniela smiled bitterly as she confided, “I always thought that he was the nicest person to me in the world. He is my older brother, and we were always so close. I trusted him, and he knew all my secrets.”

  “But that man gathered all the elders last night and actually tried to snatch my right to inherit the Great Duke’s position!”

  “And he used a ridiculous reason, saying that I wasn’t qualified because I am a woman!”

  After saying that, Daniela’s expression became rather severe. “I don’t know how he convinced those elders, but this morning they already sent someone to tell me that I am only a temporary proxy. The real Great Duke needs to be elected by them! This is the Cridland clan’s decision!”

  “And they actually demanded that I give them a drop of Divine Source to help my older brother advance to Legend rank!”

  “All this after only a single night! The Demons only just retreated and they already intend to seize power.”

  Daniela continued in an exhausted tone, “Most people in the city were Turalyon’s trusted people. They are actually more willing to believe in Hubble, someone with no leadership experience, than in me.”

  “What are their heads filled with?!”

  Marvin remained silent.

  He quietly listened, neither agreeing nor refuting, only acting as a good listener.

  Daniela clearly had been suffered from being under too much pressure. In this short period of time, she did her best in the war against Demons and had lost some of her relatives in the fighting. The one she had always considered the most hateful had actually been competing with her fairly. He just had a rather abrasive personality. And the most unbelievable part was that the one who wanted to snatch her position was the one she’d always had the most faith in!

  She even started to doubt the course of her own life!

  He had hidden so well for so many years!

  She only saw love from his eyes all this time, but didn’t notice the envy and malice hidden within them.

  “Shortly before he died, Turalyon assured me once more that seven years ago, he truly wasn’t the one who poisoned me,” Daniela muttered.

  This had some frightening implications.

  Marvin sighed and gently grabbed Daniela’s hand.

  That hand was extremely icy, like she was seriously ill.

  “I’ll support you whatever happens,” Marvin said conscientiously. “Believe me, no one deserves that position more than you do.”

  “The people of Lavis need you, not a power-hungry mortal.”

  Daniela’s expression showed a trace of pain and confusion, “I know… But I don’t know what to do now.”

  Marvin gently patted the back of her hand. “We all have to face the dark side of the world…”

  “Sooner is better than later.”

  “Sometimes, we are forced to make a choice, even if what we decide on is bad. But in contrast, the other options are even worse.”

  “You are the most talented girl I’ve seen, and the fame of the Cridlands will be brought to greater heights in your hands. Lavis will grow in power, even becoming the hegemon of the North!”

  “I think this is what your father, Turalyon, and those dead warriors would have wanted to see.”

  Marvin finally concluded, “Compared to this, the rest isn’t as important.”

  Daniela nodded with a complicated expression.

  “They notified me that tonight, they will carry out another meeting. Hubble and I have to attend. At that time, they will vote to decide on the new Great Duke.”

  Marvin smiled. “Tonight?”

  “Good, I’ll take the chance to join in on the fun. After all…”

  “I am also a Cridland!”

  The discussion between Marvin and Daniela lasted for no less than two hours.

  When the door to the parlor finally opened, the maid waiting outside the room took a curious glance.

  Daniela’s complexion was terrible, and she even seemed to be having trouble smiling. Marvin, on the contrary, was completely calm.

  “Your proposal, I’ll consider it… Let me think about it,” Daniela said.

  Marvin shrugged.

  He had already done something like that once, so he didn’t have any issues with it.

  He nodded as he responded, “You can notify me before it officially starts. I know it will be hard for you to make a firm decision about this, but sometimes, we have to force ourselves to make a choice.”

  “Okay, I’ll go to the [Black Room]. A month has passed, after all.”

  Daniela nodded, and the two left the parlor to head into the depths of the castle.

  Before the Great Duke disappeared, he gave Daniela all the castle’s permissions to Daniela, and thus she was currently the only one in all of Lavis who could freely enter and exit every corner of the castle.

  The Black Room was the place that Marvin and the Great Duke used to extract the Divine Source. It was also the core of the entire Cridland clan.

  After entering the Black Room, he immediately took out Ancestor’s Mystery as well as the Archdevil’s head.

  After doing everything exactly as the Great Duke had shown him, Marvin was also able to put the squeeze on the pitiful Archdevil.

  In the evening, he walked out of the Black Room, feeling somewhat tired. However, excitement could be seen in his eyes.

  He had successfully wrung out three drops of Divine Source!

  Divine Source was very precious. Marvin’s advanced Divine Vessel had been able to evolve successfully after he absorbed the Divine Source of the Wilderness God’s avatar. Before that, the Divine Source he obtained had been given to the Book of Nalu. Now that he could use it himself,
he wouldn’t waste something so valuable on that strange book.

  He injected the two drops of Divine Source into the advanced Divine Vessel. But it didn’t seem to give any sort of reaction.

  He checked his interface, and saw that the information on his Divine Vessel’s cultivation was very clear:

  [Advanced Divine Vessel (One advancement) (13% fusion)]

  [Advancement requirement: Divine Source 2/10]

  …

  Seeing the numbers, Marvin couldn’t help but sigh.

  The advanced Divine Vessel was simply a bottomless pit. Wanting to cultivate that thing would be a huge consumption of resources!

  He wasn’t feeding it just any common stuff! This was Divine Source! There was no need to explain how precious Divine Source was. Marvin might not be able to get Divine Source every time he killed a Divine Servant.

  In contrast, the Comprehension points, which he needed to level up as a Ruler of the Night, were a lot easier to get!

  But he wasn’t discouraged.

  He knew that this was practically the only way to break through his bodily limitations.

  After cultivating the advanced Divine Vessel by giving it enough Divine Source, the Divine Vessel would eventually upgrade far enough to cause a chain reaction. At that time, Marvin might be able to break through his body’s limitations. Not only would his attributes break through the 30 point limit, but he would also obtain new and very useful abilities.

  This was what the Fairy had told him.

  Even though the Migratory Bird Council had offered another method to break through the limits, Marvin felt that relying on an Ultimate Shapechange to break through the body’s limits wasn’t reliable enough. Although turning into a Bronze Dragon like Sky Fury could admittedly give him a Bronze Dragon’s attributes, overcoming the weakness of the Human body, it was still only a type of Shapechange, so he couldn’t break the shackles of mankind and let him use his own abilities with the enhanced attributes.

  People like Blade Master Kangen or the Cloud Monk strove to break through via the Martial Path, which was also another possible method, but Marvin didn’t have enough time. In fact, he doubted whether he could ever fathom the most advanced levels of the Martial Path. Thus, despite the fact that he practiced his Desperation style, he didn’t put much hope on that path.
