The four of them were one of the final cards of the Shadow God Palace. Even if they were quite old, they had a lot of experience in the field of Divine Spells!
In an instant, the four shadows formed a prisoner’s cage!
Divine Spell - Shadow Prison!
The four Clerics joined hands to launch a Divine Spell, and even the fierce Aragon was trapped inside.
“Receive Father God’s punishment!” one of the elders coldly declared.
…
On the King Road, Capella’s carriage was frantically rushing back.
Numerous images flashed in front of her eyes. These images were fragmented, but they formed a shadow!
It was that heathen!
Capella ground her teeth hatefully.
She watched the four elders fighting Aragon and her complexion ashened quite a bit!
‘So this was your real aim…’
‘But how did you know that such a dangerous thing was hidden under the shrine?
Capella’s eyes were full of doubt.
The next second, her silhouette hurriedly rushed inside the Shrine!
…
6th layer of the Divine Spell Prison.
Besides six huge candles, this place was completely deserted.
Marvin simply walked forward.
A huge stone wall blocked his path!
He took two steps back and grabbed a Sun Sphere before smashing it mercilessly against the stone wall!
“Rumble.”
After an instant, the wall was completely crushed and revealed a hidden entrance with a rune.
‘Finally found you…’
‘Hehehe, Hell’s Door.’
A satisfied smile could be seen on Marvin’s face. ‘Puppy, you should already be quite hungry.’
But the next instant, an ice cold voice echoed behind him.
“Stop now.”
“Wicked heathen, you are actually bold enough to try to open Hell’s Door…”
“I’ll throw you inside God’s Fire and let you burn for a hundred days. Your soul will also belong to Father God and will never reincarnate!”

Marvin slowly turned around.
The black-gowned High Priestess was staring at him coldly, the radiance of a Divine Spell flickering on her hand, ready to be thrown at Marvin anytime!
“You came back quickly.” Marvin looked at Capella’s cunning face. “Are you so confident that you can stop me?”
Capella took a good look at Marvin.
She had always been very cautious. Father God had repeatedly warned her that these guests from another plane were very powerful and sinister!
This youth before her eyes seemed to be only 15 or 16 years old, yet he was able to sneak into the Divine Spell Prison’s 6th layer.
Even if Aragon and Nana provided a distraction, this was a very challenging matter!
But he still pulled it off with ease.
This was simply inconceivable.
“You are the one who killed Dina,” she said in a low voice. “Level 18 Assassin?”
The pressure Marvin gave her wasn’t small, and she wasn’t in a hurry to make a move.
She knew that opening the Gate of Hell needed some time. The seal had been there for many years after all. As long as she was there, this youth wouldn’t be able to come up with any tricks.
And even though Aragon was powerful, he couldn’t deal with the four Great Elders alone.
He would definitely be subdued.
Once the Great Elders came to help, along with the Paladins that were rushing over, this Assassin wouldn’t be able to escape!
Marvin sneered, “You actually know the word [Assassin]?”
“As expected, as a God’s Apostle, you know a bit more than others.”
“The Arborea plane shouldn’t have this class, right?”
“Wasn’t Glynos very careful about this point? He didn’t allow his Secondary Planes to have Assassins or other rogue classes. Such a narrow-minded person.”
Marvin’s mockery wasn’t without reason.
Since the Shadow Prince was the God of Shadows, he could actually get a considerable amount of Shadow Sorcerers and Assassins as his followers.
If these class-holders were devout enough, it would give him a lot more Faith than ordinary Clerics or Paladins would.
This was because the class holders’ essences would be richer. They wouldn’t just passively accept God’s gift. Instead, they would temper themselves and through that their faith would increase.
But Glynos was narrow-minded. In order to stop others from surpassing him, he didn’t allow any Assassin classes in his realms.
That made Marvin feel utterly speechless.
There shouldn’t be more than a hundred people that knew the word [Assassin] in Glynos’ plane.
This included the Shrine’s higher ups and part of the Royal Family. There should be very few thieves among the people, because the Shrine was taking care of them strictly.
Thieves would be executed by fire.
Thus, this place’s public security was actually pretty good.
…
“You dare insult the great Father God…”
Rage flashed through Capella’s eyes. Her finger pointed five times and the next second, five Shadow Beasts came out from the Shadow Plane!
They looked very strange, each one of them different from the others, but they were all very aggressive!
“Roar!”
They roared as they pounced on Marvin. But Marvin’s figure disappeared from where he stood!
Shadow Escape!
The Night Walker’s speed was incomparable. With a simple escape skill, he broke away from the Shadow Beasts’ attacks.
Before Capella could use another Divine Spell, Marvin’s body stuck to that huge copper gate like a gecko!
Capella’s expression changed.
Marvin showed a strange smile. “Shhh! Listen.”
“Thud! Thud!”
“Thud! Thud!”
Something was hitting the door!
Capella was startled!
“How could this be!?”
“The seal on the Gate of Hell is in proper condition, so why is there this kind of situation on the other side!?”
At that time, three men floated down the flight of stairs!
Three of the four Great Elders!
“High Priestess! Aragon escaped!”
“Sir Novak already brought out a hundred Paladins to chase him!”
“This is the heathen?”
Facing the Elder’s question, Capella nodded gravely.
She didn’t say a word as those Shadow Beasts hid against the ground, appearing to be full of fright!
Their instincts were a lot stronger than humans’.
The thing behind the gate made them terrified!
…
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
The sound grew more intense.
One of the Elders was in disbelief. “This is impossible! I checked the seal two days ago, and it was flawless.”
“He just got there. How could he undo the seal so quickly?”
“Despicable heathens, Aragon really colluded with them!”
Capella’s face sank. “Gather the Zealot Warriors!”
“We are at war.”
Marvin was still lying on the door like a gecko, a bright radiance flickering on the bracelets in his hands, apparently calling out to something!
[Ancestor’s Mystery]!
The secret weapon the Numen used to control the Archdevil’s head.
Besides controlling the Archdevil, these bracelets actually had other uses. It was able to communicate with Hell’s lifeforms, and corrode the seals on the passages leading to Hell.
Of course, the bracelets could only shine at a place with a Gate of Hell.
Marvin was using a
daily ability of the bracelets to call out a monster on the other side of the door.
If the seal was attacked from both sides, it would crumble a lot quicker!
During their hesitation, the seal had already been mostly corroded by [Ancestor’s Mystery].
Marvin laughed lightly. “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry.”
“I in fact had no intention to target you.”
“But I have a bit of a bad history… With Glynos.”
As Marvin’s sentence ended, a frightening bestial roar came from behind the gate!
They couldn’t help but widen their eyes!
“Bang!”
The copper door was smashed open as Marvin used Night Boundary to hide in the shadows.
A huge head with saliva dripping from its mouth appeared from inside the gate!
Drops of saliva fell on the ground, leaving huge holes on the stone floor!
Fear appeared on Capella’s face. “Hellhound…”
“Roar!”
Another roar echoed.
The Hellhound’s huge body squeezed through the Gate of Hell.
This was a Three-Headed Hellhound!
But it only actually had two heads. The other one was more of a small deformity, like a swelling between the two heads.
Capella was sweating and the Elders behind her were shivering.
A Hellhound with just one head would be enough to cause them huge pressure!
Divine Spells weren’t omnipotent, especially the Divine Spells the Shadow Prince bestowed. They had no advantage against Hell’s lifeforms.
If a few more came in…
Capella didn’t dare to imagine.
But just then, after the Hellhound completely squeezed through the gate, the gate loudly closed!
Marvin stood in front of the gate. The Hellhound’s two heads slowly turned over and looked at him.
Acidic and flammable drops of saliva fell down.
The entire 6th layer was filled with the aura of destruction.

‘Go!’
Capella and the other three Elders glanced at each other and made their decision!
The Divine Spell Prison was really too small. If the terrifying Hellhound charged over, even they were protected by Divine Power, there was only one end left for them.
Taking advantage of the Hellhound being focused on Marvin, they left first.
It wouldn’t be too late to deal with the Hellhound when they were in an open space.
Not to mention, Capella was smart.
From Marvin’s act of closing the gate, she could see that this plane traveller didn’t want to destroy this world.
If the Gate of Hell had stayed open, the infernal lifeforms would had kept pouring in. Not only the Shrine, but even the entire Royal City would have been destroyed tonight!
Arborea would then be embroiled in a very long Planar War.
And resisting against the infernal lifeforms would be a very long and painful matter.
In history, Hell and the Abyss had invaded several times and almost led to the destruction of the entire Arborea Plane!
If not for the supreme shadows descending just in time, this world would have already turned into Hell’s scorched earth.
“Go to the prayer hall!” Capella decisively ordered.
Outside the Shrine, an order had already been sent out by the High Priestess through a Divine Spell.
The entire Eastern Snow Mountain shuddered faintly as a beast’s roar echoed. Fifty Zealot Warriors were waiting in formation!
They were each holding a strange and heavy scythe-like weapon, and their bodies began to swell up crazily.
Their muscles were clearly visible.
A mysterious fire was burning in their eyes.
These were the fanatical followers chosen from all of Arborea who were then successfully trained as Zealot Warriors!
They had more faith than any other followers and would sacrifice their lives and souls for their god at any time.
It was also because of this that they could go through many trials and survive.
When Capella began to train these warriors, the number of fanatical believers exceeded six hundred!
Now, only fifty remained. The cruelty of the training could clearly be seen.
Even if they weren’t 4th rank experts, their bodies and strength wouldn’t lose to any peak powerhouse of the plane.
The most frightening thing was their burst power.
People with beliefs were fearless, they were unafraid of death.
Capella and the other three Elders retreated to the prayer hall.
That place was definitely large enough for them to fight a life or death battle against the Hellhound.
Moreover, this place had the Supreme Shadow’s God Statue!
‘I’ll definitely catch that heathen with my own hands and offer his soul to God!’
Capella gazed feverishly at the God Statue. “Father God, please give us the power to banish Devils!”
…
God Realm. The Shadow God Palace’s situation was naturally noticed by the Shadow Prince.
His expression went from being confident to doubtful.
How was that mortal always able to have the upper hand?
How could he deceive his own eyes?
Even a Legend Shadow Thief wouldn’t be able to sneak in his shrine!
The Shadow Prince simply couldn’t understand.
He couldn’t do anything about it, as he ascended relatively late. He had yet to be born when the God of Etiquette fell… so he didn’t know about Eriksson’s Brooch.
But regardless, the Shadow Prince couldn’t sit still as his own Shrine was being humiliated.
He looked at Marvin and that frightening Hellhound and knew that this battle might end up badly.
“Gwaine!” He called out a name.
The next second, a pure white light appeared in front of him.
“I need you to descend to Arborea. Give the High Priestess a helping hand.”
Pure hatred flashed through his eyes. “Mortal, I’ll remember you.”
“Your soul is mine. I want you to know the consequences for provoking a god!”
…
6th layer. He could almost feel the breath of the Hellhound.
Marvin was fearless.
A smile was plastered on his face.
The Hellhound didn’t attack him after he closed the door. This was a good sign!
His bracelets kept emitting the aura of the Archdevil.
This made the Hellhound feel a sense of familiarity and doubt.
It wasn’t smart, and was unable to distinguish whether or not he was a true Archdevil. How could this puny human before it possess such a strong aura?
“Wu…”
The deformed head in the middle barked.
It was trying to use the Infernal Language to communicate with Marvin.
But Marvin didn’t know Infernal, so all he could do was stay still.
He knew that he couldn’t control that Hellhound, but he could at least avoid antagonizing it.
Infernal lifeforms were Lawful Evil. The Hellhound was a good example. If it was a Demon, it wouldn’t care about the aura on Marvin’s body and directly attack before talking.
Demons only had one rule of survival: the weak were prey for the strong. Devils were different; they were stricter about status.
Hellhounds usually were Archdevils’ pets. They were extremely well-behaved and wouldn’t harm an Archdevil.
Although Marvin looked human, he had the aura of an Archdevil on him. This made the Hellhound consider him as “one of them”!
Perhaps this Archdevil was hiding his strength and had disguised as a human? This should be why he seemed so weak.
The foolish Hellhound thought so.
Not getting an answer from Marvin for a long time, the Hel
lhound decided to follow the direction of Marvin’s finger, charging away!
What Hell’s lifeforms hated the most were Demons.
But gods were just as bad!
In this prison covered with Divine Power, it felt very uncomfortable.
It wanted to destroy everything!
“Roar!”
The frightening bestial roar spread throughout the Royal City. “Crash!” The entire Shadow God Palace was on the verge of collapse!
…
As the Hellhound left, Marvin wiped his sweat.
His plan had been effective.
He casually used the bracelets to temporarily seal the Gate of Hell, to stop another monster from coming out.
He only wanted to destroy the Shadow Prince after all, and not the entire Arborea Plane. One Hellhound was enough.
‘Even if this Hellhound isn’t at its peak, having only two complete heads is perfect to not get rejected by the plane.’
‘Level wise, he should be about 17-18… But Hell’s lifeforms are stronger than ordinary lifeforms… Hehe.’
‘Your Highness the High Priestess, even if you send the Zealot Warriors Corps, it might not change the outcome.’
Marvin sneered as he escaped through the shadows.
Everything that happened earlier was a distraction. From Princess Nana’s ball to Aragon’s breakout, the purpose was to attract everyone’s attention.
The fact that a Hellhound was on guard on the other side of the sealed Gate of Hell was a secret. Besides the Shrine’s higher ups, nobody, not even the Nottingheim Royal Family, knew that a bomb like that was hidden under the Shrine!
Unfortunately, Marvin had already used the trick of letting the dog out in the past!
At that time he was a young rogue, and had entered Arborea due to a quest, the Ruler of the Night’s advancement. He strolled around this plane, perfunctorily took the diamond, and then roamed around some more. An accidental change made him discover the Shrine’s secret.
At that time, he also let out the Hellhound, but with a more exhausting plan. The only issue was that the Hellhound didn’t say anything and immediately spouted fire at Marvin when he opened the gate.
This was one of his most unjust deaths. In fact, it was impossible to confuse that Hellhound without Hell’s aura.
It was different this time. He originally was a Numan’s descendant, so he had a Devil’s bloodline, while also wearing Ancestor’s Mystery on his wrists. Although he couldn’t control the Hellhound, he was at least able to avoid being attacked.
