Although they avoided the trap for the time being, the Vampire clearly had some suspicions.
He looked at Marvin and couldn’t help but ask, “How come you knew that the Theater Spirit resided in the headless body?”
In his opinion, the clown’s head was more likely to be the dwelling place of the Spirit.
Marvin bluntly answered, “Luck.”
Gwyn snorted, obviously not believing Marvin’s excuse.
Marvin could only laugh bitterly.
He wasn’t lying. In his previous life, the Theater Spirit was a hidden boss in the Saruha instance that was extremely hard to trigger. He never cleared it himself, so he didn’t have the experience.
But when the mirror shattered previously, the Theater Spirit’s unfathomable strength was subtly weakened, and Marvin noticed something.
It was a very mysterious feeling, as if he suddenly had outstanding senses.
From his point of view, although his Perception wasn’t necessarily high, his soul was a lot stronger than those of ordinary people. When facing against evil, he was willing to trust his instincts.
As a result, his gamble paid off.
Originally, regardless of what happened, the Theater Spirit would be a very troublesome enemy.
Even if they found his core, they still needed to fight defeat him. But the Theater Spirit poured its strength out like a tidal wave, leaving his core unable to resist as Marvin warped straight to it and slashed down.
This was because of how sudden Marvin’s attack was, and most importantly, because of the Evil Spirit Envoys controlling the Theater Spirit.
A Theater Spirit was just a type of collective consciousness Evil Spirit. Its existence was a mix of all kinds of evil thoughts.
But there was no main ego controlling it.
It was powerful, but it also needed to be controlled by an equally matched Evil Spirit Envoy.
The Desolate Ancient Altar was a bit away from the Residential District, so it wasn’t easy for them to control it from that far, not to mention after one of the Evil Spirit Envoys had been killed by the Pale Hand!
In that split second, all the evil thoughts gathered in the Theater Spirit began to fight over leadership, which Marvin noticed!
…
Marvin considered what had happened.
In the current Saruha, there is only one person able to take out an Evil Spirit Envoy.
‘Since he accidentally met the Evil Spirit Envoy, it means he missed this District Area and went straight to the Desolate Ancient Altar.’
‘As long as we go away from there, we should be able to avoid him!’
Marvin thought quickly and lead Gwyn out of the theater in the opposite direction!
In that direction was the Ancient Gnomes’ Arsenal.
If Marvin remembered right, this Arsenal was not occupied by Evil Spirits, because some constructs were still patrolling inside.
These constructs were generally uniform in models. Most of them were X–1 Models, a few of them were elite type constructs, but with their speed, the two could easily shake off the most powerful constructs.
There was a magical steel gate between the Residential District and the Arsenal that could completely seal the path.
Once it was successfully sealed, even if the Pale Hand wanted to go through the Shadow Plane, he shouldn’t be able to get in.
This was the main reason Marvin was confident that he could save Gwyn.
Although he didn’t know Saruha like the back of his hand like he did with the Crimson Monastery, he certainly knew a lot more than the Wolf Spider’s people!
The two didn’t have any hesitation as they rushed toward the steel gate that was in Marvin’s memories.
…
Marvin actually remembered there still being many treasure chests in the Ancient Gnomes’ Residential District.
Even if the things in these chests were probably mostly common equipment, there was also a chance of getting something good.
But since they successfully got rid of the Theater Spirit and gained another 10000 battle exp, Marvin was already satisfied.
Moreover, he also obtained the Spirit Armband!
The Spirit Armband was set up by the Evil Spirit Envoys in order to control the Theater Spirit. Although there was only one effect, it was a specifically important one!
[Spirit Armband]
[Quality: Magic]
[Property: Willpower +2]
The Willpower increase was to allow the Evil Spirit Envoy to suppress the chaotic emotions inside and give him a bit more control over it. In the end it was convenient to Marvin.
In order to resist the Archdevil’s head and Book of Nalu’s enticement, he urgently needed equipment that could raise his Willpower.
He could think of a few more powerful pieces of equipment in Feinan that could raise Willpower. But there weren’t any more of them in the Pambo Seashore, so Marvin couldn’t deal with it at the moment. He hadn’t expected to receive that Spirit Armband like this. This could actually reduce the threat and influence of the Book of Nalu on Marvin’s soul.
…
In the Desolate Ancient Altar, that scene flashed past. Sky wasn’t a fool, and instantly understood what he had done!
‘Theater Spirit!’
‘They were actually in the stomach of a Theater Spirit. It must have been an Evil Spirit Barrier. Damn! I actually let them out!’
Sky was quite upset.
But being upset now was useless. He had killed the Evil Spirit Envoy, and Tidomas was extremely angered!
That huge Dragon head began to chant in Dragon Language.
The remaining Evil Spirit Envoy was also angry. Even if Sky wanted to explain that their goals were aligned, it probably wouldn’t have any use!
The Evil Spirit Envoy shot out a spell.
In any case, the Theater Spirit had already been killed by Marvin. They couldn’t leave the Desolate Ancient Altar, and unless Marvin walked right into the trap, their opportunity to avenge the Decaying Plateau had already been lost!
Thinking of this, both Tidomas and the Evil Spirit Envoy wanted to vent all their rage on the Pale Hand!
The Dragon’s voice echoed from the Desolate Ancient Altar.
Although it was only a projection, it was able to use magic through the Dragon Language!
Tidomas merged the Evil Spirit chanting technique with Dragon Language magic to come up with his own Dragon chanting technique.
In an instant, the entire Altar became quiet.
Sky was once again startled and furious. He kept using escape skills but found himself unable to leave the Barrier.
Tidomas’ cold voice taunted, “I already sealed this altar. Even if you have more powerful escape abilities, you still won’t be able to leave.”
“For ruining our plan, accept your death, lowly ant.”
The next second, the Evil Dragon’s head suddenly made a move, and a great amount of acid and poison mixed together was flying toward Sky!
…
Two people were flying through the Residential District, hardly taking notice of the Evil Spirits that they passed by.
They saw a tall steel gate in the distance.
A group of people were gathered under the steel gate.
Wolf Spider mercenaries!
When they saw Marvin and Gwyn, they were shocked.
The Wolf Spider’s leader, Rem, couldn’t help but blurt out, “You aren’t dead?!”

Rem let those words slip.
Gwyn looked at him full of killing intent. “You knew his goal?”
One of the Wolf Spiders sneered, “So what if we knew Sir Sky’s goal?”
“There are so many of us, and Sir Sky might come anytime. D
o you still believe you can escape Saruha?”
“Yeah, you’ll die soon. You offended a Legend and still think you can leave alive?”
This group appearing near the steel gate consisted of the elites of the Wolf Spider mercenaries and a few hired experts.
A Legend, especially a Legend Assassin, was enough to make them cower quite a bit.
In this situation, they didn’t need to think too much about what to do.
Marvin noticed out of the corner of his eyes that a few impulsive adventurers were already pulling out their weapons. They apparently intended to stop Gwyn!
Even if Rem didn’t say anything, his gaze gradually sharpened.
Gwyn was strong, but he had advanced to the 4th rank not long ago. Their side had so many people, countless experts. If they could arrest him, they could gain favor with a Legend. This was a good deal with no loss for them!
A rare trace of anger could be seen on Gwyn’s face.
This Vampire, to the best of Marvin’s knowledge, had always been known for his superior self-restraint. He could almost be considered the Bright Side’s Saint.
But under these circumstances, he finally couldn’t control his emotions.
It looked like he was going to go on a slaughter.
And Marvin knew that Gwyn was able to do it!
The elite powerhouses of the Bright Side were close to Grand Duke William. Even if Gwyn’s level wasn’t very high, he certainly had some fierce killing techniques!
This was also one of the reasons he made friends with Gwyn. He didn’t only take the Bright Side’s power into account, but he also considered Gwyn’s own potential!
A powerful aura burst out from Gwyn’s body, and sharp fangs started growing out on his charming face.
This was due to him releasing his power!
‘Turns out it’s a Vampire!”
One of the Wolf Spider mercenaries sneered, “I was wondering why the imposing Sir Pale Hand would make a move on a 4th rank youth. Turns out it was such a dangerous monster!”
“Yeah, he looks so beautiful that I didn’t expect him to be a Vampire.”
“I heard a lot of people with unknown origins came to Ruins City lately, and many people died miserable deaths from having their blood sucked!”
“Still hoping a get a share of Saruha’s treasures? Filthy evil creature, we will capture you now and send you to Sir Sky!”
Everyone in the Wolf Spider mercenary group became restless.
Marvin frowned.
He didn’t expect Rem to suddenly greet him, and say, “Mister Kerry, this guy is the only one Sir Sky wants to kill.”
“You are innocent. Our Wolf Spider mercenary group won’t make things difficult for you. I hope you won’t be deceived by him and will help us capture this Vampire. I’m sure Sir Sky won’t treat us badly.”
Marvin laughed helplessly, and was about to say a few words, but Gwyn suddenly said, “Filthy creatures! Evil creatures! I painstakingly did so many things. But in the end, Vampires are still monsters in the eyes of humans?”
His eyes were full of resentment and puzzlement.
Marvin saw his pain. The Bright Side had been through much hardship. They tried to coexist peacefully with mankind, but how could it be easy to mend the gap between the races?
These mercenaries had limited knowledge and might not even know the difference between the Bright Side and the Dark Side!
They lived in the Pambo Seashore, which was the Dark Side’s headquarters. There, the confrontation between Humans and Vampires was pretty obvious.
Sky himself hadn’t revealed his identity, so they naturally thought he was a Human powerhouse. And Gwyn was only a monster in their eyes.
….
“No need.” Marvin rolled his eyes and told Rem, “You guys aren’t fools. Do you think someone that a Legend personally came to get rid of would be an ordinary person?”
“I already allied myself with Mister Gwyn. If your Wolf Spider mercenaries are determined to make a move on me, you might not necessarily get any advantage.”
Marvin’s goal was very simple: If they could avoid a conflict with the mercenaries, then he would avoid it.
Who knew how long the fight between the Evil Spirit Envoys and the Pale Hand would last?
The two’s whereabouts had already been exposed, and with Saruha’s circular terrain, they would certainly be caught if they didn’t get enough distance while the Pale Hand was occupied.
If they wasted too much time here, Sky might catch them.
It would be too troublesome at that time.
Marvin estimated that if they could catch him off guard, killing a Pale Hand wouldn’t be impossible, but it would still have huge risks.
After experiencing Arborea, Marvin had become a lot more cautious.
But his words didn’t have any effect.
Rem’s face sank. “You decided to help this monster, so don’t blame us for showing no mercy.”
“Don’t talk nonsense with them!” Gwyn said. From his expression, it could be seen that he had endured for quite a long time.
If not for him having the same worries as Marvin, he might have already attacked!
Marvin made up his mind and slightly lowered his head. The next second, a spear appeared in his hands!
He raised his head and coldly glanced at everyone with eyes full of disdain. “Since you decided to throw away your lives, I won’t stop you.”
They all froze, and their expressions changed greatly!
Rem said while losing his voice, “Dragon Slayer… Robin!”
…
The appearance of Weeping Sky was no secret.
In the rumors, Dragon Slayer Robin used Weeping Sky to take one of Clarke’s lives, a fact that had spread quite widely.
This spear’s unique features were already known to many.
When Marvin drew this spear in front of everyone and slightly altered his Disguise, returning to Robin’s appearance, they were all completely shocked!
Who could have expected a second Legend to appear in a small exploration!
Although they couldn’t clearly distinguish Marvin’s strength, but after slaying Black Dragon Clarke, who would believe him if he said he wasn’t a Legend?
If Pale Hand Sky was but a small celebrity in the Pambo Seashore, Robin was famous!
In the Wolf Spider mercenaries, Bull was very excited. “I told you he was Sir Robin! I didn’t think he would actually disguise and mix in with the ordinary people!”
“Shut up!” Rem’s face was pale, and he felt bitter.
They didn’t feel that a Vampire was to troublesome.
But the current Wolf Spider mercenaries were sandwiched between two Legend powerhouses. It would be difficult this time.
After Marvin’s spear appeared, the reproaching people instantly shut up.
They looked at Marvin, their eyes filled with reverence!
He was famous after all. They were ordinary adventurers, but the guy in front of them tore a Dragon apart with his bare hands. They wouldn’t be able to harm even one Robin’s hands if all of them attacked together!
Rem felt quite awkward and wanted to say something but Marvin quickly emphasized, “I originally didn’t want to expose my identity, but things went this far. Your mercenary group should understand that this exploration isn’t that simple.”
“The few of you, go open the steel gate for me.”
“The rest of you, go toward the west and get lost as far as possible. A trifling Pale Hand, do you think I can’t handle him?”
They all looked at each other in dismay.
This exploration was originally led by the Wolf Spiders. Who could have expected that something like that would happen!
Legends kept popping up one after the other, each more overbearing than the last.
Luckily, it looked like this Dragon Slayer didn’t feel like bothering with them.
Those who weren’t sent by Marvin to raise the gate left silently, including the few
leaders of the Wolf Spider mercenary group. They only thought they were unlucky!
There was no need to doubt Marvin’s identity.
When he made the sudden reveal, Rem stealthily hinted for Lilia to confirm it with magic.
The outcome of the spell showed that Marvin really had a great amount of Dragon Enmity!
This was a characteristic of a Dragon Slayer.
They didn’t dare to resist!
In a short minute, all the Wolf Spider mercenaries disappeared from his sight.
The remaining people were struggling with the mechanism to open the steel gate as it was slowly rising up.
Marvin and Gwyn glanced at each other and then sped through!
Chapter 345: Arsenal
Chapter 345: Arsenal
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After going through the steel gate, a rusty smell spread over from the distance.
The two were very sensitive people. Although this place was pitch-black, they could feel some danger!
The Ancient Gnomes’ Arsenal was not a safe place!
In fact, the Ancient Gnomes was a crazy race. They were famous for a time, but because of all kinds of crazy actions, they provoked a countless number of people and were ultimately erased from history, leaving only those Wild Gnomes behind. Although they had the Ancient Gnomes’ bloodline, their intelligence had already seriously degenerated, and they were no different from monsters.
As for their Arsenal, all kinds of strange weapons were being manufactured there.
In order to prevent enemies from stealing their core secrets, this place had the strongest defenses in all of Saruha!
Despite only being just past the steel gate, they could feel that not far from there, a few constructs were roaming about!
‘X-model patrol type construct…’
Marvin squinted.
He turned and looked at the bitter face of those four guys from the Wolf Spider group, who were still firmly turning the wheel-like mechanism.
It seemed that if [Sir Robin] didn’t say a word, they wouldn’t dare do anything else.
Marvin coughed, “Leave!”
The four, as if they had just been pardoned, ran away at extreme speed.
With their departure, the solid wheel spun back and the steel gate rumbled down, closing against the ground.
