With Raven reappearing after disappearing for so long, she couldn’t believe her right away.
Raven was perfectly composed.
Tess opened her hands and chanted a few sentences, casting a simple [Distinguish Faith].
There was no issue with Raven.
Tess finally relaxed.
Raven’s faith in the Black Dragon God was still extremely firm.
This scene naturally made Marvin laugh inwardly.
What was the Book of Nalu? It was an artifact written by the God of Deception using his sweat and blood!
Don’t even mention the insignificant Apostle Tess; even if it was the Black Dragon God himself using Distinguish Faith, he also would obtain that same result.
This was the powerful ability of the Book of Nalu, with its halo of deception.
…
“I locked that man in a warehouse on the plain, how about we bring a team of guards and go there?” Raven suggested.
Tess nodded. She was different from the other Underdark’s Races. As a God Apostle, she knew a lot more.
The importance of the Source of Fire’s Order was clear.
The two immediately left the cave and took a small team of Dark Elves as they quietly left Lion Town.
Soon, they arrived at an abandoned warehouse.
“That person is inside.” Raven pointed at the back door of the warehouse.
“Wait outside, without our order, don’t allow anyone in.”
The other Dark Elves immediately scattered and started cautiously checking their surroundings.
Tess and Raven entered the warehouse together.
Tess just pushed open the door when a black dagger slashed across her neck!
Caught off-guard, Tess’ head immediately fell to the ground!
She didn’t even have time to let out a sound before falling on the ground.
Raven gently closed the back door.
Marvin came out of the shadows, relaxed and pleased, ‘I didn’t expect that killing an Apostle would be so easy.’
‘Seems like the Black Dragon God didn’t care too much about her. Such a fragile Apostle, shouldn’t she get at least a few more applications of Major Regeneration?’
Marvin kicked Tess’ head.
But suddenly a frightening Dragon’s roar echoed from Lion Town.
“Who!”
“Who killed my father’s Apostle?!”
“Despicable murderer, I see you!”
Marvin’s expression suddenly changed, ‘Clark!’
‘Run!’

The roaring Dragon’s voice burst out from Lion Town and even reached Hope City!
Lorie showed a happy expression atop the city wall!
“He succeeded!”
“Woosh! Woosh!”
Two shadows flashed over.
Ace Assassin Xiu, and Fiend Sorceress Daisy.
The two were looking toward Lion Town with disbelief.
That Robin was actually that strong?
He managed to get rid of the Black Dragon God’s Apostle even after Xiu made a mistake?
Xiu also couldn’t believe this!
But this information came out of Black Dragon Clark’s mouth, he couldn’t question it!
Tess died!
She died at the hands of an amateur Assassin, which made Xiu feel ashamed.
Thinking of this, his face felt hot.
He clenched his teeth in frustration. “He truly succeeded.”
“Thus, I’ll honor my promise! I’ll do three missions for the [Three Sisters], free of charge.”
Daisy also had a strange expression on her face.
It wasn’t that the Fiend Sorcerer wasn’t optimistic about Marvin’s abilities, but among the 4th rank advanced classes, Ace Assassin was definitely the most suitable for assassination.
She thought that the unfathomable Robin should be able to safely return, but she didn’t expect that he would truly kill Tess!
And in just half an hour!
The time they’d planned for the mission wasn’t even up yet!
In Hope City, news that the Black Dragon God’s Apostle had died immediately started spreading.
The morale went up, and they saw hope.
Even the Black Dragon God’s Apostle could be killed; was there anything impossible for Hope City?
On the city wall, only Jessica remained calm. “What’s the situation?”
“Who did you send to assassinate the Black Dragon God’s Apostle?”
Lorie’s eyes were fanatical. “The Great Hero, Sir Marvin.”
“Marvin?” Daisy and Xiu froze. “Isn’t it Robin?”
“Aaaah…. This doesn’t matter, Tess already died.”
The young girl noticed her slip of the tongue and hurriedly tried to change the subject.
The Fiend Sorcerer and Ace Assassin were skeptical. They had also seen the rumored [Magic Marvin], but Robin looked completely different!
Only Jessica’s expression turned grave. “No good.”
“It would have been good if it was earlier, when I was still entangled with Clark. There are no powerhouses among the Dark Races stronger than Tess.”
“But now, not only has Black Dragon Clark returned, he has also found some helpers to attack Rocky Mountain.”
“That assassin is in danger!”
Lorie worried aloud, “We have to save him.”
Daisy took a deep breath. “I’ll go back.”
But there were still traces of fear in her eyes.
That was fear of Dragons.
“No need!” Jessica waved her hand. “I’ll go there!”
Saying this, she floated up, looking toward Lion Town.
“I’ll go with you!”
Ding laboriously flew up. She was then grabbed by Jessica and the two sped toward the darkness!
…
Just as the Dragon’s words burst out, an illusion appeared in front of Marvin.
He saw a huge Dragon’s head, coldly watching him.
Like the Black Dragon said…
‘He saw me!’
Marvin felt cold.
Black Dragon Clark was the son of the Black Dragon God on Feinan, and was linked to Tess in many ways.
After Marvin killed Tess, not only did he earn countless amounts of experience, but he also automatically absorbed a bit of Divinity!
This shocked Marvin. By relying on this Divinity, if Tess had worked hard, she would have eventually become a Legend, and possibly even a Half-God!
Absorbing this Divinity didn’t affect Marvin’s six main stats.
But it increased his resistances. His resistance to dark magic for example, and his resistance to poison.
Some other benefits were invisible.
That False Divine Vessel¹ Endless Ocean gifted him, could at most stock up five parts of Divinity and could contain Divinity from different sources.
Marvin’s Divinities came from plundering his enemies. First was the World Ending Twin Snakes, and now was the Black Dragon God, the most vicious in this generation.
But even if Divinities were good things, they were linked in countless ways.
This was why Clark was able to notice Tess’ killer, Marvin.
Clark should already be on his way!
With the Black Dragon’s flying speed, it would at most take three minutes before reaching this warehouse.
Thus, he’d better run first.
…
Marvin and Raven left from two different exits.
When the roaming Dark Elves heard the Black Dragon’s shouts, they were very surprised and hurriedl
y rushed to the warehouse.
But Marvin had expected this.
He and Raven easily avoided them and then removed Stealth to burst in a mad sprint.
Of course, the direction Marvin sprinted was toward Hope City!
Raven followed Marvin’s order and went to roam around the plain.
After all, she currently had no place to go. The Dark Elves should already know of her betrayal, and the humans couldn’t possibly accept a Dark Elf!
As Marvin was quickly hurrying forward, he also didn’t forget to take the cloth covering with [Weeping Sky] wrapped inside out of that special storage item!
Since Marvin rescued the young deers, Lorant didn’t bother him about it and directly gifted it to him.
Marvin was well prepared for tonight!
If it didn’t go well, he would fight.
Black Dragons’ strength was on the low side of the Chromatic Dragons, but Clark was different, because he was the son of the Black Dragon God. Fighting against him directly was definitely not a good idea.
But Marvin knew that support would soon arrive.
‘Lorie already said that Jessica was pursuing Clark.’
‘The roar of that little Black Dragon would definitely be heard by the Fate Sorceress, and she would definitely catch up.’
‘When the time comes, hmph…’
Marvin was carrying the rifle on his back, and he already started making calculations while running!
Dragon Slaying was something that one couldn’t get tired of!
He remembered the thrill of shooting off the head of the Red Dragon on that peak!
He didn’t even know that pitiful Red Dragon’s name.
And Black Dragon Clark was certainly a lot stronger than that Red Dragon.
If he could get rid of him, he would not only harvest a huge amount of battle exp, but also get even more benefits!
Thinking of this, Marvin was fired up.
But his reason kept reminding him that he couldn’t take care of him alone. Even if he could ignore Dragon Might, he was still a 4th rank!
Slaying such a Dragon alone before reaching Legend rank was just a dream.
He couldn’t even resist Dragon’s Breath. A casual claw attack could break Marvin into pieces!
He still had to be careful.
At that time, a thundering roar echoed through the sky, “Lowly ant, you can’t escape!”
Marvin’s heart tightened, it was Clark!
But almost at the same time, a prideful voice answered, “Ugly lizard, you can’t escape!”
Marvin immediately felt relieved!
He turned around and tightly held his rifle, as a hint of excitement flashed through his eyes.
The opportunity had come!

T/N: Clarke (female). Explanation in the thoughts
__________________
Jessica’s speed was incomparable, having used a Legend flying skill!
Marvin looked at that small figure who had rushed toward the huge Black Dragon and remained silent.
Perhaps only those with the halo of a Fate Sorceress, those children of the plane, could dare do something like this?
What made it even funnier was that facing that small figure, the Black Dragon was absolutely terrified!
Clarke suddenly opened her wings and crazily flapped them in Jessica’s direction.
This created strong winds!
The winds even reached Marvin’s location on the plain, and formed a sort of hurricane, blowing Marvin nearly a kilometer away!
Fortunately he was very nimble and managed to keep his footing by using all kinds of Night Walker’s skills.
It was such a frightening gale, able to put Marvin in such a difficult situation even when he wasn’t the target.
It clearly showed how powerful the winds that Jessica was facing were!
But Marvin saw that the winds didn’t break the Fate Sorceress’ flying technique.
She was only stopped for a moment, as a light cyan color flashed around her body!
Null Wind Element Boundary.
This was the nemesis of Wizards who focused their training on Wind-type magic!
Seven colors flashed around Jessica’s body as a smile appeared on her face.
But this smile looked like the smile of a Demon in the eyes of Clarke!
Fate power!
The delicate woman was like a meteor, directly smashing against the Black Dragon’s head!
The latter staggered and completely lost her balance, falling head first on the plain!
Some “wuwu” wailing noises could be heard.
The Black Dragon’s fall crushed who knew how many people of the Dark Races!
The seven-colored Jessica was like a god. Her move was totally unlike a Sorcerer’s, looking more like a Monk’s!
Admittedly, apart from Inheim, Marvin hadn’t seen a Monk that could be able to toy with Black Dragon Clarke!
Yet, he saw her grab the Black Dragon’s neck and do a shoulder throw!
Her appearance really belied her power, her body looking unsuitable for a melee fighter.
The entire city wall was already filled with people.
Even if they couldn’t see Jessica clearly, they could see that seven-colored radiance.
That light shone through all of Rocky Mountain. It was this unequalled woman who overpowered the chaos of Rocky Mountain, step by step.
She was the one who brought order, not allowing anyone to cause destruction and discord.
Her opponent was even a god’s descendant!
The seven-colored halo was ravaging the Black Dragon. Everyone in Hope City was overjoyed while the Dark Races’ side remained silent!
They were completely stunned .
The humans from the World Above actually had this kind of powerful expert?
The great Black Dragon Clarke who was a leading figure in the Underdark… was actually getting beat up by a delicate woman…? It was too surreal.
Clarke’s angry roar grew increasingly louder. She had always been known as a Black Dragon unequalled in battle, but was now getting beat up by a small dainty human woman.
This made Clarke lose face, but she didn’t have an alternative.
In the previous fight, she had already tasted this Fate Sorceress’ strength.
If she kept fighting, she was bound to taste defeat.
The Fate Sorceress was truly an existence that was beyond the laws of the world.
A shadow was suddenly spit out of Clarke’s mouth.
Jessica looked at that shadow and her face turned green. She wanted to press the attack, but Ding’s voice echoed next to her ear.
“Move! The Black Dragon God’s projection is descending!”
“Your Fate Sorceress strength isn’t enough!”
Jessica ruthlessly kicked the Black Dragon, sending her 400 meters away in one breath.
The Black Dragon looked so pitiful after the ravaging. But a vague shadow shoot down from the sky.
“Lowly human, you dare to injure my blood.”
“Ptui!”
Jessica returned to flying in the air, coldly looking at that shadow. “Do you even know how to say anything else?”
“Lowly human this, lowly human that, could it be that you don’t remember this lowly human destroyed one of your projections earlier?”
The vague shadow raged, “You dare…”
But he was mercilessly interrupted by Jessica. “Well, today I feel pretty good, so I’ll let you off for the time being. Beating you and cooking you to eat Dragon meat when I’m in a bad mood would be pretty good too!”
After saying this, the seven-colored halo surrounded Jessica and Ding as they quickly returned to Hope City.
As Ding said, her p
ower as a Fate Sorceress was a bit lacking. Exterminating a Black Dragon was a bit strenuous, let alone along with a projection of the Black Dragon God.
But Jessica’s display truly made Clarke and the Black Dragon God apprehensive. The two looked at each other, and didn’t have any thoughts of pursuing.
And Marvin could only stand under the walls of Hope City, silently putting away [Weeping Sky].
It’s not like he would be successful every time.
Welp, there could always be next time. The matter of Jessica tearing a Dragon apart should happen sooner or later. He only had to wait until her strength reached that stage and then he would have plenty of opportunity to steal that Dragon’s head during the fight.
…
Back in Lion Town, Black Dragon Clarke turned to a Human-shape, a curvy and big breasted woman.
On her face there were some bruises.
That was all done by Jessica.
“Father…” She used the Ancient God language to communicate to the shadow, “The Fate Sorceress’ power is stronger than we imagined. If we don’t kill her, we won’t be able to attack Rocky Mountain!”
That shadow stayed silent for a moment, apparently ignoring Clarke’s attempt at speaking the Ancient God language. He took the initiative to reply in Common, “My projection isn’t sufficient to kill her, you have to summon my avatar!”
“But the Universe Magic Pool blocks everything,” Clarke muttered gloomily, “and since that waste of a Shadow Prince lost the Time Molt, the gods’ avatars can’t enter Feinan, you said so yourself.”
“No need to summon the entire avatar,” the shadow said malevolently. “You only need to summon one claw.”
“Come, let’s do a sacrifice.”
…
“You are Marvin?”
Hope City, inside the Three Sisters’ castle.
Jessica was leisurely sizing Marvin up.
“Here I am called Robin.” Marvin slightly smiled. He still hadn’t taken off his Disguise.
The name Marvin was too famous recently, and would attract attention in every city.
Sometimes, it’s better to be low-key.
“It doesn’t matter whether you are Marvin or Robin. You being able to kill the Black Dragon God’s Apostle, Tess, surprised me greatly.”
Jessica continued sharply, “But you deceived my sister’s feelings! This is something I can’t let pass!”
Marvin was stunned. “I deceived her how?”
