Someone used this [Mind Blast] skill through the whole basement. This was an intimidation type skill with large area of effect range, able to interrupt most skills.
‘Who is it?’
In the corner, Marvin saw the silhouette of a tall person jumping down the hole!
That person was blonde and looked upright. He was carrying a sharp sword and wore a silver badge on his abdomen!
[Silver Light]!
‘Turns out to be the silver light knight!’
‘Knight? Hold on, hold on.. They previously talked about a knight, could it be him?’
Marvin recognized him. This guy was one of the most famous knights in River Shore City. As one of the Silver Church’s guardians, he would often appear in public.
Because Silver Church and River Shore City had reached some agreements, they had to dispatch some guardian knights to join River Shore City’s patrols.
This Gordian guy was one of them.
He was in charge of the wealthy district patrol.
The day Marvin wanted to kill Miller, he sent the patrol away. It included Gordian, this powerful 2nd rank silver light knight.
“Plague God’s follower, die for me!”
Gordian stood above the ruins, coldly looking at the scene in the basement.
But everything had disappeared from the surroundings, leaving no one behind, aside from those few lost youths.
The dark murderer and plague envoy seemed to have disappeared.
Marvin’s heart tightened; he smelled a hint of conspiracy.
After all, based on the earlier conversation between that dark murderer and plague envoy, they were aware that this silver knight was coming.
‘However, it seems that the silver church is also not easy to deal with. They profited from the plague god followers by charging high rent while also sending their own knights to catch them… Just not too greedy,’ Marvin guessed.
Afterwards, a few men following Gordian took those youths away.
Yet Gordian was still standing there, his eyes sweeping the surroundings. He suddenly took a step forward.
The area was empty.
But Marvin knew that a class like Guardian Knight also had some detection type spells.
Finding traces of the plague envoy shouldn’t be too hard.
As expected, Gordian sneered, “Want to escape me? Dream on!”
He rushed into the darkness, alone.
There was actually a hidden passage in that spot!
The destination was unknown, but it should definitely lead somewhere in this city.
…
‘I got it!’
Marvin, hidden in the corner, was massaging a place that had gotten hit by a falling stone, suddenly enlightened.
This was a trap. The aim was precisely to lure Gordian into chasing that plague envoy alone.
This Silver Light Knight had probably caught a lot of plague god followers recently, making the plague envoy very angry.
Thus, he simply invited the shadow spider assassin to set up a trap. With both of them acting together, they would kill Gordian.
But the plague envoy and the assassin hadn’t expected to meet this [Masked Twin Blades] halfway through the operation.
‘Truly interesting.’
Marvin smiled.
‘You just forced me into a miserable state. I won’t let go of the opportunity this time. I’m very sorry, Black jack.’
‘But I have to be careful this time, as even if the silver light knight clearly hates the plague envoy, I also have an arrest warrant.’
‘Anyway, time to follow and take a look.’
Marvin quietly used Stealth and remained far behind Gordian.
Two men, one in front and one behind went through the passage, finally reaching another basement.
Chapter 56: Divine Spell
Chapter 56: Divine Spell
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
This basement was a few times smaller and apparently only had one exit.
The plague envoy stood on a raised platform, his back facing the silver light knights.
“You knew I would chase?” Gordian wasn’t an idiot.
He also felt that something was wrong.
But he didn’t retreat.
This came from his unwavering confidence in his own strength. It also was because he firmly believed that he had the favor of the silver god.
Divine grace wasn’t a skill every silver light knight could have.
Not to mention the long sword in his hand which possessed a bit of divinity and had been blessed by a high level silver god priest.
This bit of divinity turned his originally good long sword into a weapon able to endure stronger enchantments!
Its attributes were very fierce.
As a result, Gordian was fearless.
Even if this plague envoy had some plans, he would still be unable to escape.
He had already chased this plague envoy several times after all, and he always needed just a bit more to catch him. This made him quite annoyed. He didn’t want to lose this chance.
He put his left hand on the hilt of his long sword.
“Evasive man, I, as a captain of River Shore City’s patrol, will enact justice and capture you!”
His voice was full of righteousness.
The plague envoy slowly turned his body, his face full of deceit.
“Ha ha ha, Gordian, you are so full of yourself.”
…
‘This silver light knight is quite smart.’
‘If he killed or banished that plague envoy in the name of the silver church, it might lead to the plague god being resentful. Even if the silver god didn’t fear the plague god, it would be troublesome to handle.’
‘This guy took advantage of his position as a River Shore City guard. This way, even if the plague envoy was killed by him, the plague god wouldn’t be able to say anything.’
Marvin, still following behind, heard Gordian’s pretext and couldn’t help but have a whole new level of respect for him.
A silver church guy indeed. Every single one of them was a businessman; they clearly knew what kind of strategic decision would maximize their benefits.
Even this manly guy was no exception.
Gordian sneered. “You only invited a few helpers, I’m not worried.”
He took a step forward after talking, but at that moment, two shadows suddenly jumped from both sides!
Assassins!
Both of the 2nd rank!
Marvin squinted his eyes, thinking, ‘Not good.’
‘Gordian has too much self confidence right?’ Facing such an obvious trap, he actually didn’t try to probe and just walked right on it.
But thinking about it, Guardian Knight perception wasn’t that high. Missing assassins in stealth was normal. It would be quite difficult to notice stealthed assassins without using a detection Divine Spell after all!
‘Hold on!’
‘Black Jack isn’t one of them.’
‘Shit! Both are using [Desperate Strike]!’
Marvin nearly rushed out from his hiding place in the shadows!
If Gordian was one-shotted, staying here would be quite dangerous.
Two advanced assassins’ desperate strikes!
This time, the plague envoy spent a lot in order to get rid of Gordian. Not only did he hire a shadow spider hitman, he also paid for two 2nd rank assassins.
As the two shadows were about to hit Gordian, the silver light knight suddenly drew his sword!
He was left-handed, but his posture was still exceptionally smooth!
In that split second, the sword lit up, and a silver mark condensed in a flash!
[Divine Grace – Silver Protection]!
…
Seeing this Divine Spell being used, Marvin immediately felt relieved.
Gordian was indeed not an ordinary guardian knight. This guy was definitely an elite Guardian Knight!
In an instant, some
kind of silver liquid flew out from that silver mark and wrapped, layer upon layer, around Gordian.
The two assassins’ desperate strikes did hit the target, they truly hit Gordian with the skill!
However!
Silver Protection’s effect made him immune to damage for three seconds!
Desperate strike was a skill with high priority, but it was only a mortal skill after all. Most of those came from the elves in the old eras.
But Silver Protection was a Divine Spell. It came from someone directly under the protection of the silver god.
The two assassins used all of their strength to attack, entering a near death state, but Gordian came out unscathed due to the protection!
He looked like a silver statue, standing there, motionless, as if nothing could knock him down.
The silvery light disappeared three seconds later, and Gordian disdainfully kicked away the two assassins at his feet, walking toward the plague envoy.
“I see you still have some tricks!”
He laughed. “Desperate strike doesn’t work on me!”
Although he said that, Marvin noticed that one of the three kinds of light surrounding the sword in Gordian’s hand had actually disappeared.
‘It had three Divine Spells attached?’
‘He already used one of them.’
Marvin knew a bit more about the situation. The plague envoy’s strongest card to deal with Gordian should be that dark murderer!
As expected, Black Jack appeared at this time.
Even if dark murderer was an advanced stealthy class, it wasn’t an assassin, so his stealth effect was average.
He simply swaggered in front of Gordian.
“Shadow spider’s man?” Gordian frowned, displaying a serious expression for the first time.
He could feel that this guy was quite strong.
“Got paid for the work.” This time, Black Jack surprisingly looked quite professional.
He didn’t say much and attacked!
The twin daggers in his hands were extremely sharp, like a storm. Even his normal attacks would leave afterimages!
‘He must have a personal or class specialty increasing his attack speed!’ Marvin speculated.
Marvin knew a few decent trained specialties, and among those was one that he must definitely get.
And this dark murderer displayed a fast attack speed. It indicated that he must have a specialty that raised attack speed. This was something Marvin needed the most.
Gordian was indeed strong. At least stronger than Marvin by a whole lot.
Facing the dark murderer’s attacks, he used his sword to block and was also able to counterattack.
‘In a duel, Gordian has more chances to win!’
‘It’s a pity that this fight is not a duel.’
Just as Marvin had this thought, the plague envoy joined the battlefield.
He didn’t have a lot of divine spells, but they were all deadly and had to be used carefully.
His presence was the most threatening to Gordian, because if he were hit by some curse, it would change the course of his fight with Black Jack.
As expected, the plague envoy found an opportunity and under the cover of the dark murderer, a Weakness spell hit Gordian!
His speed and strength were reduced by at least 30%.
Although Gordian immediately used a Divine spell, Weakness Immunity, he was a guardian knight, not a priest.
He could only use a few divine spells. He had already used Mind Blast, Detect Trail, Silver Protection and Immunity. Even with the divine skills added to the sword, he shouldn’t be able to use more than three spells.
And the plague envoy was prepared.
He even took out two powered magic staves, made in the Southern Wizard Alliance. Even though it was a consumable item, its price was astonishingly high, and its effect was outstanding!
Gordian’s situation was far from good!
Black Jack laughed nastily. Taking advantage of Gordian dodging a divine spell, he launched a fierce blade technique!
Rushing Thunder Slash!
…
‘Can’t wait anymore!’
Marvin no longer hesitated. Still in stealth, he rushed out.
But this time, he craftily removed Masked Twin Blades’s mask and put on a mouth mask!
He was still using twin blades, but there were many people using twin blades. Who would imagine that he was Masked Twin Blades?
“Give me a hand, we have a common enemy.”
Marvin rushed out from the shadows and said one sentence to Gordian before rushing back toward the plague envoy!
The plague envoy paled. He immediately whispered something and a stone wall appeared in front of Marvin.
“Pointless!”
Marvin sneered as he rushed on the vertical stone wall and took a few steps on it!
Anti-gravity steps!
On the other side, Gordian sneakily threw a ring of light over there.
[Divine Spell – Divine Gift]!
Chapter 57: Locusts and Exorcism Pouch
Chapter 57: Locusts and Exorcism Pouch
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
[Divine Spell – Divine Gift]: Strength +2 for 6 minutes.
This divine spell was quite good for Marvin.
His strength had always been his weak point. When he fought the with dark murderer earlier, it was because of his strength that he was completely suppressed.
His mission was to kill the plague envoy; the rest could be dealt with later.
It only took a few steps before he arrived in front of the plague envoy.
This time, the plague envoy couldn’t use a divine spell like putrefaction whirlpool.
Because he already used it before Gordian’s arrival and it was one of the very few interrupting divine spells.
Facing the charging Marvin, the plague envoy gloomily cursed. He unexpectedly put his hand behind his back and grabbed a large two-handed sword!
Marvin was startled and dodged in a hurry!
…
‘Shit!’
‘This guy is actually a fighter!’
This gave Marvin a headache!
He hadn’t expected that this plague envoy wasn’t a priest but a fighter.
Where did the plague god find this freak? Although this kind of strange advancement wasn’t impossible… Advancing from a fighter to plague envoy would make his ability to use divine spells worse than the average plague envoy’s by half!
No wonder Marvin felt that this guy was overly cautious when using divine spells.
‘As it turns out, the fucker is a fighter!’
Marvin hadn’t used inspect because he was afraid that the other would detect him when he was getting ready to sneak attack.
This time, he hurriedly used inspect after dodging the two handed sword.
Marvin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the results. The other side had the following classes:
[Fighter lvl5 – Plague Envoy lvl2]
‘Please! If he was a fighter, shouldn’t the advanced class [Plague Knight] be a better pick?’
Marvin sneered. After the initial surprise, he started to relax quite a bit.
Because this plague envoy turned out to be a lot easier to deal with.
What Marvin feared the most was that the other side would continuously throw curses. If he was hit, even if he killed the plague envoy, he would also be in trouble.
But the other side was a fighter, which basically meant that his divine spells were already used up!
He was swinging the two-handed sword skillfully, but…
Marvin was someone who reached the 20 dexterity threshold, and rangers originally restrained fighters!
His footwork became ghost-like, suddenly taking advantage of the plague envoy’s swing. A small body sneaked under the plague envoy’s arm!
[Shadow Steps]!
He was as fast as lightning! The plague envoy couldn’t do anything ab
out it!
Marvin’s curved daggers were raised horizontally, skillfully linking to the next skill, [Cutthroat]!
[You used cutthroat (46) on your target…]
[Skill failed…]
……
“Crack!”
A weird sound echoed, cutthroat was unsuccessful!
Because the plague envoy used his last life saving divine spell at the critical moment, [Locust Division]!
The plague god’s favorite animal was the locust.
The moment that divine spell was launched, the plague envoy completely turned into locusts, flying with a buzzing noise.
Marvin’s cutthroat only hit one or two.
The rest all flew out in panic.
“Locust division? You want to flee?”
Gordian, suppressing the dark murderer on the other side, loudly shouted. He immediately took out a huge pouch!
This pouch looked like it was made from linen, but nevertheless, it was a real magic item!
‘Worthy of being a silver church kight; he actually is quite well-off. He is a 2nd rank knight with two magic items!’
Marvin watched with envy!
As a transmigrator, how many uncommon items did he get? Even his twin daggers were both common weapons. How could it be!
Marvin recognized this pouch, it was an exorcism pouch made by a high level silver church priest.
This pouch was like the wishful rope, having many different uses. It was quite helpful and very much worth it.
He watched as Gordian opened the pouch. A gust of wind blew out from inside and the majority of the locusts fell down on the ground!
The plague envoy wanted to flee, but Gordian had been prepared for it!
The wind blowing out from the pouch had the special effect of scattering divine power, though its efficacy was rather light. It would have no effect on real divine spells.
But locust division’s nature was a divine power split into countless small parts that would escape by themselves. Even though it was convenient for escape, they would be unable to withstand this peculiar wind.
Locusts fell on the ground, one after the other!
Once they fell, they could only crawl.
The plan was successful. The plague envoy couldn’t escape!
Gordian displayed a proud smile.
But at this time, Black Jack suddenly launched a reverse slash, not taking advantage of the situation to escape… But counterattacking instead!
