He could feel his body becoming sturdier.
His current mature appearance couldn’t be compared to his original weak appearance.
He was sturdier but didn’t lose any sharpness and was filled with power.
The only regret Marvin felt while looking at the logs was that this Dense Blood Nucleus didn’t give him any increase in Constitution.
It was his Strength that increased by one point.
But this wasn’t a big deal. In any case, with the Golden Blood, his Constitution had already reached 15. After that, he had only needed to add two attribute points to Dexterity to reach Godly Dexterity.
Marvin was now level 17 and the remaining attribute point had been put in Dexterity, letting it reach 29. Only one more point to reach 30.
And although 16 Strength was somewhat on the low side, but relying on his Night Walker specialties was enough to deal with all kinds of situations.
Moreover, he still had the Shapeshift Sorcerer’s abilities!
If he needed Strength, he would use the Asuran Bear… Oh, it was Fierce Asuran Bear now!
…
Aside from raising his Strength, the Dense Blood Nucleus also gave Marvin a Vampire specialty.
[Low Flight]!
This was a passive specialty that 3rd rank Vampires had!
Marvin was glad his luck was decent, as this was a very practical ability.
But a series of new logs suddenly flashed before his eyes:
[New bloodline power found, currently transforming your body…]
[Bloodline power insufficient, swallowed by the Main Bloodline (Numan)…]
[Swallowing complete, new bloodline’s power affiliated under the Main Bloodline…]
Marvin was surprised to find that the specialty he got from the Dense Blood Nucleus, Low Flight, was rearranged under the specialties of Shapeshift Sorcerer’s Human-shape!
And the previous Vampire specialty was slowly disappearing.
‘Such a tyrannical bloodline… It can actually swallow the Vampire bloodline.’
Marvin was inwardly flabbergasted. He never came across something like that in his previous life.
The Golden Children had hero-like body templates, and he didn’t try any special bloodline.
He hadn’t expected the Numan bloodline to be so powerful that it could directly swallow the Vampire bloodline.
But this was also good, because it prevented it from causing any future troubles.
….
After checking his condition one more time, Marvin sped back to Hope City.
He tried Low Flight a few times on the way back.
The specialty was really eye-catching, but it was relatively taxing on his stamina.
Using it in a fight would be good, but outside of battle, it was better to simply use his feet.
Soon, he was back at the boundary of Rocky Mountain.
But just as he reached Hope City, Marvin heard a wail!
It came from Lion Town!
‘The ritual started!’
Marvin’s heart felt cold.

On the city wall of Hope city, Lorie’s expression was grave.
“They officially started.” She felt a surge of grief.
A huge barrier surrounded all of Lion Town. It was the frightening Sacrifice ritual, and even the Dark Races weren’t spared.
They had followed the Black Dragon Clarke to attack Rocky Mountain, all in order to survive and get food!
It definitely wasn’t to throw their lives away.
But now that Lady Tess died, the Dark Elves’ forces showed signs of instability, and the other races were even more anxious because the Sacrifice ritual also included some of their people!
A lot of the Dark Races wanted to retreat.
Lion Town had plenty of food, and those provisions would be enough to let them pass the long winter.
But the wicked Black Dragon didn’t allow that to happen.
If they tried to escape, they would be brutally murdered.
In a short time, Lion Town’s atmosphere had become extremely cold.
At the Black Dragon’s personal order, each race, apart from the Dark Elves, had to contribute at least 100 of their kin.
And the Kobolds, Gnolls, and common Goblins were even more miserable. They had to sacrifice at least half of their population!
With the Black Dragon personally taking care of the sacrifices, who would dare resist?
The original Lion Town had long since been leveled. Countless creatures were bound on a dark altar.
A third of them were captives from the surface while the other two thirds were the Underdark’s creatures!
The Underdark’s army watching from the sides looked at them with sympathy.
That wasn’t what the Black Dragon had promised!
She had promised them food and freedom.
Now they were reduced to powerless existences!
If not for the Black Dragon being too powerful, giving them no chance to resist, they might have already scattered in chaos.
The bloodbath had begun.
Clarke turned into a woman wearing a long black chang pao¹ and loudly chanted on the altar.
(T/N1:Traditional man’s gown… Clarke strikes again.)
And the dense bloody smell already began to fill the air.
Countless creatures howled in grief as they died and their resentment gathered over. This energy was enough to temporarily open a passage through the Universe Magic Pool.
…
“He still hasn’t returned?”
Jessica was in a bad mood. “Although it would take two to three days, how could I bear to look on helplessly as innocent humans die.”
Ding interrupted, “I already said that kid was totally unreliable…”
But she didn’t get to finish her words before a voice appeared on the city wall. “I always considered Fortune Fairies as experts in sarcasm.”
Marvin.
A happy expression flashed in Lorie’s eyes.
Jessica was direct. “Done?”
Marvin nodded.
“Then let’s go!”
Rocky Mountain’s leader clenched her fists. “According to the plan, I attract their attention while you secretly get in and destroy that Dragon Scale!”
“The others will carefully wait in the city!”
“Lorie, this place is in your hands.”
Lorie nodded frantically.
Marvin took a deep breath and indicated he was ready.
But another figure appeared beside Jessica.
It was the Fiend Sorcerer Daisy.
“I’ll also go with you.”
“As the head of Demon’s Hand, I have a bit of power.”
Daisy gently smiled.
A hint of worry flashed through Jessica’s eyes. “Don’t tell me you want to…”
“At least I can help you share a bit of pressure.” Daisy stopped Jessica’s words. “Moreover, after Sir Robin destroys the Dragon Scale, he would certainly be pursued by the Black Dragon or the Projection. He would need me to save him.”
Jessica was silent for a moment before ultimately nodding.
She gently hugged Daisy and whispered a few words in her ear.
Marvin felt strange while looking at these two women, and an evil thought couldn’t help but pop into his mind:
Was a tomboy like Jessica interested in women?
Looking at these two women’s intimacy, it seemed their relationship was a bit out of the ordinary.
…
“Mister Robin, you have the wrong idea.”
At that time, Lorie said from behind him, “Big Sis isn’t interested in women.”
Marvin was immediately alarmed. “You can hear my thoughts?”
Lorie showed a cute smile. “Sometimes I can, Sometimes I can’t. In short, it could be considered as a very vexing
ability.”
Marvin inwardly wiped his sweat.
This girl was too frightening. Her Intelligence had actually reached that level?
Mind Reading could only be reached at the realm of the wisest Sage.
Even gods wouldn’t be able to read a person’s mind. They would at most be able to notice their emotions.
Because everyone was protected by the Power of Order, which was a type of law that no one could ignore.
Marvin was very curious as to what degree Lorie’s innate skill could reach.
But the current moment clearly wasn’t suited for such talk.
On the side, Jessica and Daisy had finished their discussion.
It was time to start the plan!
…
In Lion Town’s sky.
Jessica, radiating seven colors, arrived like a meteor.
The Black Dragon on the altar suddenly raised her head, anger flashing through her eyes!
She already knew the Fate Sorceress would come to destroy the ritual, but the ritual had already started, so now they only needed to continue their slaughter!
With the Dragon Scale as the plane mark, there wouldn’t be an issue.
A clean white eye was suspended above the altar, and it kept glancing at every corner of Lion Town at an incredible speed.
This was the Heavenly Observer’s main body!
No enemy could hide from its sight!
Clarke suddenly stamped her feet and rushed up!
“Roar!”
She turned back to her Black Dragon shape in an instant, as her human-shape was really too weak after all!
And in another direction, a shadow also pounced over.
That was the Black Dragon God’s Projection.
They knew they weren’t Jessica’s match in a one on one, so they needed to join hands to handle her!
“Huuuu!”
Before Jessica could reach them, the Black Dragon’s chest faintly swelled up before releasing a frightening Dragon Breath!
The Black Dragon’s Dragon Breath carried terrifying acid. That acid’s power was on par with Dissociation, and people infected would become a mass of pus after corroding!
But this time, it wasn’t only Jessica in the seven-colored radiance.
There was another woman!
The Black Dragon felt a bit surprised.
But then, a bloody mouth emerged out of nowhere and completely swallowed the Dragon Breath!
The Black Dragon and the Black Dragon God’s Projection were startled!
“Pah! It tastes rotten, but it is full of energy.”
“Dear Mother, you haven’t summoned me for a while.”
Behind that bloody mouth was an abnormal face followed by a long neck covered in barbs.
It was greedily looking at the Black Dragon and the Projection.
“So it’s something big to make up for how rarely I’m summoned.”
Meanwhile, Daisy was deathly pale!
…
The battle in the sky was about to begin.
And on the ground Marvin easily hid from the Heaven Observer’s sight with Eriksson’s Brooch.
Three minutes later, he calmly approached the altar.
Chapter 280: Crazy Clarke

Black runes were drawn around the altar, using the Ancient God Language to draw out the power of ghosts.
Marvin stood at the edge of the altar and could feel the steady flow of power from those creatures’ deaths being absorbed by the altar.
This was the power of a ritual sacrifice.
A Black Dragon Scale was floating in the center of the altar.
Sixteen Dark Elves were sternly guarding it.
Even though the Heavenly Observer was standing guard, they were still loyal to their duty.
If it was before, Marvin might have been afraid of being noticed by the other side’s perception. But with Eriksson’s Brooch, Marvin knew he could walk a few times around them and they still wouldn’t find him!
This was the strength of a Legendary Item.
In fact, if not for this brooch being kept by the God of Etiquette for a short time, this treasure would be a genuine artifact instead of a Legendary Item.
But if that was the case, Marvin wouldn’t be able to use it.
True Artifacts weren’t something a False Vessel could handle.
And this brooch also required the wearer to possess a Divinity. Marvin had two Divinities so he was able to wear it.
He ignored the chaos in the sky and quickly approached the altar.
He found a small hole and quickly fished out three small jars!
These jars were completely filled with a special liquid, Lava Acid!
This was one of the few things in Feinan that could destroy a Black Dragon Scale. Three jars were all that Hope City’s Sorcerers were able to gather.
It had to work!
Marvin took a deep breath.
He then gathered his strength and successively threw the three pots toward that Dragon Scale!
The jars went through the altar’s defenses and knocked into the Dragon Scale. A frightening aura and barrier were emitted from the Dragon Scale and instantly broke the jars!
“Crash!”
The three jars shattered one after the other as a scarlet liquid sprayed out, landing on and around the scale!
In an instant, the Dark Elves and the Heavenly Observer saw a heartbreaking sight: The Black Dragon God’s Dragon Scale was burnt!
“Snap!”
It stopped floating and fell in the the Lava Acid, eventually losing its spirituality.
Marvin heard a frightening ethereal word!
It was coming from the Astral Sea.
He was dazed because of the voice and almost froze on the spot.
The Dark Elves were startled and angrily rushed over to surround him.
They didn’t know how Marvin was able to sneak in.
And the Heavenly Observer was just as surprised. It noticed the brooch Marvin was wearing and suddenly came to a realization.
But it was already too late. Marvin showed a strange smile and disappeared from the Dark Elves’ sight before they could attack!
Shadow Step!
“Woosh!”
He vanished from the edge of the altar.
He quickly used Stealth once again.
Before everyone’s eyes, he disappeared, leaving no traces!
Stealth at 180 was this fierce!
The ritual sacrifice was forcefully interrupted!
Those who had been killing their own men were bewildered. The smell of blood was very intense, but it had already lost all meaning!
They stopped their movements and blankly looked at the sky.
…
Black Dragon Clarke roared out, “How could it be?”
“Despicable human… How could you escape from the sight of a Heavenly Observer! Shameful rogue!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Clarke was about to go crazy!
She never would have thought that someone in this world could elude the sight of a Heavenly Observer and destroy that Black Dragon Scale!
This was the most important treasure the Black Dragon God had set aside for her.
Not only could it summon the Black Dragon God’s projection to protect her at crucial times, but it would also serve as a plane mark.
Clarke knew from the Black Dragon God that a great disaster was about to happen and that she must seize a domain on Feinan in advance. Thus, she had the Underdark’s Races start a war on the surface.
It’s just that someone proud like her hadn’t thought she would meet this kind of setback!
The powerful Fate Sorceress was one thing, but what was going on with that cunning human?
What trick did he use to escape from the Heavenly Observer’s sight?
But it was no longer important.
The Black Dragon Scale was
destroyed and the ritual sacrifice was a failure. The Black Dragon God’s avatar couldn’t descend.
With the Fate Sorceress overseeing Hope City, the Underdark’s troops had no hope of breaking through!
But she was even more disgusted by the fact that this seemingly average Fiend Sorceress actually summoned a Great Void Demon’s projection!
Even if it was just a projection, its fighting ability was very fierce and she was almost swallowed by it a few times.
A Great Void Demon was a very frightening lifeform. If she was swallowed, despite being a Black Dragon, she might not necessarily be able to escape.
Clarke and the Black Dragon God’s projection suffered from a few of Jessica’s spells because of the Great Void Demon’s appearance.
After all this, they hadn’t expected that the Black Dragon Scale would be destroyed!
They lost their hope!
Clarke’s eyes bulged out in anger.
She raised her head and let out an ear-shattering Dragon Roar!
She gave up on Jessica and Daisy as her huge body swooped down toward that altar and the surrounding Dark Races, spewing a frightening Dragon Breath!
She went crazy!
She already didn’t care about friends and foes, and only thought of finding that guy who destroyed the Dragon Scale.
The fearsome Dragon Breath covered the altar and its surroundings, thoroughly collapsing the Underdark’s army.
They frantically ran away, pushing aside others to escape, in fear of being hit by the Dragon Breath.
This was something even Marvin hadn’t expected!
‘Fuck!’
‘This female Dragon is crazy.’
Marvin helplessly sighed and immediately broke out of his hidden state as he started to sprint.
Then, an open door suddenly appeared in front of him!
“Follow me!” Daisy looked pale.
Marvin unhesitantly went in.
The next second, the Dragon Breath swept over.
Marvin and Daisy’s figures immediately appeared on Hope City’s wall!
“How are you doing?” Marvin asked with concern.
Daisy barely managed to smile. Summoning a Great Void Demon’s projection was already more than her strength could handle. Even if she was a Fiend Sorcerer and had signed a pact with that Great Void Demon, this was still something out of her range.
Soon, two people helped take her to a resting place.
Lorie and Ding quickly came over. The former immediately sighed in relief when she saw that Marvin was unscathed.
