#4 Holy Water was condensed from the purest heavenly holy power, like Lorant’s.
Marvin previously lacked ranged attacks, but the Battle Gunner class made up for this.
This was the shotgun Constantine used when he was young. it had a very bad name, [Golden Rose], because the gun had a rose on it.
Sha shotguns had a big issue, which was that they had to be cooled for three minutes after one shot.
Otherwise the shotgun might explode.
This was also one of the reasons firearms had yet to become popular.
But for Marvin, this shot was already more than enough.
Using the Wind Fairy to attract the attention of the seven Evil Spirit Knights, he was able to lure them within firing range. Marvin then aimed and shot.
It simply felt too great!
…
Outside the Moss Prison, the Evil Spirit Guards angrily roared.
The loud gunshot alarmed them, causing them to run over from all directions. There were at least a thousand!
These Evil Spirits were basically the lowest level of cannon fodder. Besides negative energy, they had nothing.
But if other people wanted to eliminate these Evil Spirits, it would still be quite troublesome.
Marvin lifted his curved dagger up high and sped up!
Blazing Fury!
The frightening arcane flames wreaked havoc on that open area in an instant. The temperature of the magic flames wasn’t something these Evil Spirits could endure.
The area between Marvin and the Moss Prison had gone up in flames.
A huge amount of Evil Spirits were cleanly burnt while the rest were blocked by the flames.
Marvin rushed into the fire, charging into Moss Prison like lightning!
The Variant Moss wouldn’t take the initiative to attack enemies, but their defensive abilities were pretty high.
At that time, all the Moss had turned an angry red!
This meant that an enemy invaded!
But the Evil Spirit Guards had no way to catch Marvin.
The experts had been sent away by Diggles, and the Evil Spirit Overlord had focused his perception on detecting the aura of Legends in order to save energy. Under the attack of Inheim, Hathaway and the others, he didn’t have extra energy to keep an eye on the Moss Prison!
The remaining Evil Spirits simply weren’t a match for Marvin.
His daggers were also coated with #4 holy water.
He simply killed all Evil Spirit minions that rushed up to him inside the prison with one slash, sometimes even killing two at once!
In a mere ten seconds, Marvin had carved a bloody path through!
“Sir Marvin!”
“He really came for us!”
“Father didn’t lie to us. He said Sir Marvin would come to save us!”
A huge piece of moss surrounded a dozen young deers in the middle.
They took the initiative to form a circle to surround Muse.
Marvin knew this was how they protected her.
The young deers had Lorant’s bloodline so they naturally had heavenly holy power to protect themselves from being corrupted.
But Holy Maiden Muse was different, not having any power. Without the young deers protecting her, her body might have already been corrupted.
Marvin looked at that invulnerable Moss Prison and took out two scrolls from a storage item!
The Great Druid Sky Fury gave him these two scrolls after Marvin told them about the characteristics of the Moss Prison.
The two scrolls contained a powerful spell, [Great Wilting]!
Even though the moss that formed the prison was born out of negative energy as a variant plant, it was still a plant!
Withering skills were the bane of plants, and Great Wilting was naturally the moss’ predator.
However, this kind of spell was something Druids would only use as a last resort.
Similarly, growing a World Tree’s seed was also a last resort action.
If not to keep the balance in nature and eradicate the Underworld, even if Lorant had a great friendship with Sky Fury, he wouldn’t make such a move.
In fact, these two Great Druids’ actions were done without the permission of the Migratory Bird Council.
…
Taking advantage of the reprieve after clearing out so many Evil Spirit Guards, Marvin directly tore open the first scroll.
The dark black runes flashed and a large amount of black gas twisted around the red moss.
Then, that wide area of moss began to wilt.
Great Wilting was really effective.
Marvin put away the other scroll. Sky Fury gave him two scrolls only as an insurance.
In fact, one was more than enough.
The young deers cheerfully rushed out, one of them still carrying Muse.
“Many thanks Sir.” Muse looked at Marvin, moved.
Marvin slightly nodded. “Now isn’t the time for this. You have to immediately leave the Underworld.”
“Follow my directions. Keep going that way and then you will see a big mushroom bridge.”
“Trust me. Just jump on the mushroom bridge to get across, open the small door not far from it, and then you’ll be able to return to Feinan.”
“But you absolutely have to remember: after you return to Feinan, you have to hang this lock on the door once again.” Marvin handed the lock over to Muse.
“What about you?” Muse was somewhat hesitating.
She had expected Marvin to leave with them. But hearing his tone, it look he actually was staying in the Underworld!
“I have a plan,” Marvin simply said. “Take the young deers and escape!”
Evil Spirit Guards started to rush over to surround them.
Marvin didn’t hesitate and raised his curved dagger once again!
Blazing Fury!
Both of his curved daggers had now used their Blazing Fury ability.
This Blazing Fury once again burnt a large area.
Marvin rode on a young deer and they crazily rushed out of the Moss Prison!
They followed Marvin’s escape route and were finally on the meadow. Marvin suddenly had them stop.
He got down from the young deer, stably landing on the ground.
“You guys hurry up and follow this path. You’ll see the Mushroom Bridge after a while!” he urged.
“What about you?” asked a young deer in worry. “There are still many Evil Spirits left, you can’t hold them off on your own!”
“Yeah, yeah, and there is a Pool of Corruption in the Moss Prison. Those dead Evil Spirit Knights will soon be revived from the Pool of Corruption.”
“They run faster than us,” another deer fretted.
Marvin smiled with confidence. “I made preparations.”
…
How could Marvin not know about that Pool of Corruption?
These Evil Spirit Knights were immortal. Thus Marvin didn’t get any experience from them when he eliminated them!
This was because they originated from the Pool of Corruption deep inside the Moss Prison.
They would revive in at most five minutes, and would then give chase.
The young deers were pretty fast, but not as fast as the Evil Spirit Mounted Knights.
Marvin had already expected this to happen, so he could only stop in this area!
He shocked Muse and the deers by dragging a big weapon out of the meadow!
It was a big cannon!
Marvin put away his daggers and adjusted Brilliant Purple’s angle, aiming at the Moss Prison not too far off!
At that time, many Evil Spirits were rushing out from within.
These Evil Spirits also came out of the Pool of Corruption.
If the Pool of Corruption was destroyed, they would also cease to exist!
‘It’s totally spending money to buy experience. Why do I feel like I’m one those dishonest gamers from my past life…’
Marvin took a deep breath while inwardly mocking himself for
gaining exp like this, before quickly switching his equipment.
Brilliant Purple was perfectly set.
What was put in the cannon wasn’t [Dragon Tooth], but [Dawn Light]!
A shot cost 1500 Wizard golds!
The Evil Spirits were rushing in a seething mass and would soon arrive in front of them.
“Sir Marvin!”
The young deers were worriedly jumping around.
“Don’t… Be… Worried…”
Marvin spoke word by word as his hands were slowly pressing on Brilliant Purple, and then he suddenly pulled on the lever!
“Bang!”
The loud shot echoed. Marvin directly flew ten meters back, some blood splashing on his face!
At that time, a white light shot out of the cannon and rose up in the sky, before slowly falling.
It finally landed in the Moss Prison!
“Rumble!”
The frightening bursting sound became louder as Dawn Light completely crushed the entire Moss Prison, exploding everywhere!
Marvin rested on the ground as he checked the countless logs that appeared!
He coughed blood while crazily laughing.
It really destroyed the Pool of Corruption!
Although he was puking blood from the frightening backlash, considering his benefits, this injury was nothing!
‘Even if shooting wounded me…’
‘This is worth it!’
In the logs:
[You successfully destroyed the Pool of Corruption, gaining 81748 exp!]
Marvin staggered up and wanted to put away Brilliant Purple when a pure white light landed on his body.
The young deers were surrounding him, using healing spells and strengthening halos on him one after the other, making Marvin feel very warm.
These young deers were totally like a powerful nurse when together!
…
“What!”
“What happened!”
On the throne, Diggles was suddenly startled!
Marvin created such a huge commotion with that shot that if he couldn’t notice it, he wouldn’t deserve to be this plane’s ruler!
The Pool of Corruption was destroyed, and the young deers escaped…
A series of scenes appeared in front of his eyes.
Ultimately, he caught sight of a small human struggling to hold a strange weapon and aiming at the Moss Prison.
‘It’s a Gunner!’
‘Not even a Legend!’
Diggles’ fist smashed against the throne and his expression became even more sinister. ‘A little human actually dared to act like that in my world!’
At that time, Hathaway suddenly opened a Teleportation Door inside the World Tree’s halo.
Under Diggles’ furious glare, a person came out of the Teleportation Door.
Could it be another Legend?
Diggles was getting increasingly more enraged. That group of Legends really thought the Decaying Plateau was their backyard?
But contrary to his expectations, the person who came out of the Teleportation Door wasn’t a Legend!
Rather, it was a 3rd rank Ranger!
“Damn! You actually dare to appear in front of me!”
Diggles simply wanted to explode!
He couldn’t wait to dismember that human in front of him!

Right after the explosion.
A candle was lighting the path in the damp tunnel.
It was a complex tunnel with numerous secret rooms.
Each room had strong defensive mechanisms. Though some rooms were left open, the stuff inside those wasn’t as good.
This was Overlord Diggles’ hidden treasure trove.
After he established the Decaying Plateau, he put all the treasures he collected from various planes there.
Shadow Thief Owl quickly progressed through this cave.
He didn’t have much time to take care of the locked rooms, so he swept those open rooms clean!
Despite this, the stuff inside was still priceless.
At that moment, Marvin’s voice echoed from the Thousand Paper Crane at his waist. “How is it, Sir Owl? Visiting the hidden treasury should be quite pleasant, right?”
Owl answered while still working on collecting the treasures, “Pleasant my ass!”
“Diggles sent a doppelganger after me!”
“Even though I followed your method, rushing as fast as possible to the treasure cave, while Diggles needed to use some complicated spells to enter, I still only have two minutes to steal everything! Damnit, is this the ‘plenty of time’ you promised me?”
On the other side, Marvin watched the White Deers leave as he shrugged. “Two minutes should be plenty of time for you, right?”
“Remember to move your hands faster, I also get a part of these treasures.”
Owl couldn’t help but curse, “You deceitful kid, you made this Great Thief do the most dangerous work while you sit and wait for a share!”
“I am a thief, I can only steal things. But the situation has changed, Diggles is waiting for me outside! I’ve already turned from a thief snatching from the shadows to a robber stealing in plain sight!”
Marvin laughed for a bit. “Congratulations on your class advancement.”
“I believe that with your strength, holding back Diggles’ doppelganger shouldn’t be too hard.”
“But if you really can’t resist, strategic retreat is also part of the plan.”
Owl stayed silent, apparently busy snatching some more things, ignoring Marvin.
Marvin knew that Shadow Thief wasn’t a very suitable class for battle. Holding off the Evil Spirit Overlord’s doppelganger would be highly difficult.
Regardless of how long he could hold him back, his part of the plan had already been achieved.
At that time, Hathaway received his signal and cast a Teleportation Door.
He unhesitantly walked in.
As a result, he saw Diggles’ expression. It looked like Diggles wanted to eat him alive.
Despite having experienced countless storms, seeing such an angry expression on the Evil Spirit Overlord made his chest instinctively fill with apprehension.
But he had no intention to fight with Diggles. After being teleported by Hathaway, he jumped on the World Tree and went inside a hole in the trunk.
In the hole there was a pale yellow piece of thin leather calmly lying there.
Marvin went over and grabbed it.
It was time to implement the second part of the plan.
…
Time flew by quickly in the hidden treasure trove. As Owl put away a locked treasure chest, Diggles finally caught up to him!
He was extremely angry!
He was actually slowed down by his own defenses.
Yet he didn’t know how this vile Shadow Thief managed to bypass them and stealthily enter his own treasure trove!
This was unforgivable.
“This is my domain. If you want to steal my things, you have to be prepared to pay the price!”
Diggles’ doppelganger coldly glared at Shadow Thief Owl. “And the price is death.”
Owl bitterly laughed. “I don’t want to die.”
His body then disappeared!
Diggles coldly snorted and his doppelganger also disappeared from the treasure trove.
Two minutes later in some corner of the Underworld, Owl awkwardly fell on the ground!
Diggles was invincible on this plane.
Even someone overpowered like Inheim was also unable to harm Diggles. All he could do is barely hold his own against him.
As for Owl, he couldn’t even resist at all!
In a mere two minutes, he cut a sorry figure under the chase of Diggles’ doppelganger!
Ultimately, a flaw appeared and he was caught, almost losing his life.
‘Yup, no way I can hold
that one back,’ he thought gloomily.
Then, his body suddenly split into a thousand doppelgangers!
Each doppelganger fled to the Shadow Plane, using [Shadow Travel]!
As those thousand Owls fled to the Shadow Plane, a bit more than eight hundred of them were intercepted by Diggles while the remaining hundred-something doppelgangers managed to escape!
It was a big blow to his vitality.
‘Damn, next time I won’t listen to that bastard’s sweet words!’
Owl’s heart was still furiously beating as he cautiously moved through the Shadow Plane.
This was a lot more terrifying than standing against the Ancient Red Dragon!
He had the backup of many powerhouses in Tornado Harbor, and just had to play his role.
But this time he was facing the Evil Spirit Overlord’s doppelganger on his own, which was too much for him!
‘They should be about to start the second part of the plan.’
‘That Marvin really doesn’t fear death…’ Owl was thinking as he continued through the Shadow Plane.
The second part wasn’t related to him.
But he still wasn’t relieved.
Suddenly, he noticed the backs of two people ahead of him!
Owl stiffened!
He stopped moving.
The Shadow Plane was a peculiar place where space-time was distorted. He stood there and watched those two backs.
Those two people were looking in another direction.
Owl followed their line of sight and saw a Shadow Thief blinking away.
That Shadow Thief was Owl himself!
‘This is the previous me!’
Owl had a good understanding of the Shadow Plane.
He instantly understood what happened.
People were watching him, or at least that image of him, when he went through the Shadow Plane to enter the Underworld earlier.
Owl was extremely familiar with one of the two people.
It was actually that Glynos who had been humiliated by him, stripped naked!
Owl’s scalp went numb.
If this was Glynos’ avatar, then that other person…
‘No good!’
‘Marvin and the rest are in danger!’
Owl clenched his teeth and sped up, immediately returning to Feinan.
He couldn’t use the Thousand Paper Crane in the Shadow Plane.
It could only be used to communicate in a material plane. As for communication across planes, even if it could be done, it would use a lot of the Thousand Paper Crane’s lifespan. But he didn’t worry too much about that at the moment!
