It was one of the easier ways to quickly obtain more power.
There was no doubt that the person conducting the sacrifice was the masked black-gowned person before them.
Half of Remains Island was between them, but Marvin still saw that person.
“Woosh!”
The Great Eagles also flew over, keeping up with Marvin.
When the Legends saw this scene, their expressions became grim! They knew the terrible nature of sacrificial rituals!
The ancient runes and dark incantation were there to communicate with the target of the sacrifice!
2nd Era Evil Spirit Overlord, Evil Dragon Tomb Keeper, Tidomas!
They knew that Tidomas’ main body couldn’t come to this plane, but if it were only a projection, there would definitely be no need to sacrifice that many people!
So there was only one possibility. They were calling forth a part of his body!
Despite it being just a body part, it was still very frightening.
The roar of a Dragon kept echoing from under Remains Island and every corpse began dissolving into fog, including the Pirate King himself!
Marvin coldly watched the black-gowned person and suddenly shouted, “So you are willing to abandon a doppelganger like that!”
“Lady Dark Phoenix, I am very curious… At this time, why are you still hiding behind a mask?”
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the black-gowned person.
The latter laughed and truly removed her mask!
Under the mask was a delicate appearance.
Besides Marvin, the Legends’ hearts were extremely heavy!
It really was Dark Phoenix!
“You are right. I’m tired of this secretive life, so it is time to take off the mask.”
Dark Phoenix seemed very relaxed.
She looked at Marvin. “Without you, I might have still continued to endure, up until I found the perfect opportunity.”
Marvin reacted, noticing that Dark Phoenix’s sentence carried an implication.
“Eh?” he sneered, “Could it be that because of my appearance, you became afraid?”
“Indeed,” Dark Phoenix admitted.
“Your appearance changed everything, Marvin. I did a Divination six hundred years before. Everything that should have happened recently has been changed by a person that should have already been dead. While Tidomas is still crossing the planar barrier, why don’t we talk about your real identity? Mister Marvin?”
She smiled gently, like a close older sister.
But her eyes were fixed on Marvin as if she wanted to peer through him.
“My real identity is White River Valley’s Overlord,” Marvin calmly insisted. “And you seem to have hidden a lot from the Alliance and the world…”
Shadow Thief Owl’s expression was strange as he cut in, “Lady Dark Phoenix, I don’t understand…”
“What don’t you understand?” Dark Phoenix still looked gleeful as she asked. “You don’t understand why I saved Marvin, and then wanted to kill him?”
“I have to admit, this was my biggest mistake. I always thought that Seer Hathaway was my biggest obstruction.”
“Exchanging a Seer for an insignificant human, this deal seemed very profitable, didn’t it?”
“But I made a mistake. I should have let Marvin die under Glynos’ curse.”
Seeing Dark Phoenix speak so frankly, Marvin felt a bit flustered.
She was someone who could endure a lot to keep hidden, yet now she was explaining everything candidly.
It meant that she either had made sufficient preparations to ensure that everyone would be unable to leave this place, or had otherwise decided that there was no longer any need to hide anything.
Either way, this wasn’t a good sign.
…
Inheim stood on the back of a Great Eagle and glared coldly at Dark Phoenix.
“So that means… Anthony’s information was leaked to Glynos by you?”
There had actually been a lot of strange things about Great Wizard Anthony’s death.
Inheim had been chasing after Glynos for this reason, but he had never understood how the Shadow Prince found Anthony and overcame his precautions. Anthony was a very careful person during his life after all. He had already been on guard before the attack, and very few people knew of his whereabouts.
Aside from the [Alliance of the Seven Orders], perhaps only a few higher-ups of the Wizard Alliance knew.
Dark Phoenix was obviously included among them, but Inheim had never doubted her before this.
Facing Inheim’s question, Dark Phoenix only lightly nodded as she gave her response. “Indeed, how else could the stupid Glynos find Anthony?”
“Why did you kill him!” Inheim’s voice was full of anger.
He was Anthony’s best friend, to the point that he even broke his oath for his vengeance.
“He had an item in his hands that could protect the Universe Magic Pool. Even if it could only protect it for some time, it was a hindrance.”
“You should already know today that fate can’t be stopped.”
“The Wizard Era is coming to an end, and the Gods will finally descend.”
A faint smirk was hovering on Dark Phoenix’s face as she taunted, “You Legends are bound to bow. Otherwise, what awaits you is only destruction!”
Facing the domineering attitude of Dark Phoenix, Marvin shot back with a grin, “I’d like to know, who should we bow to after we kill you?”
Dark Phoenix laughed loudly. “You think I’m here to talk nonsense with you, and then go all-out against you?”
“Wrong, completely wrong!”
“Do you know how many doppelgangers I have in the end? Kid, you’ll never know!”
“My plan is already flawless!”
“The day the disaster strikes is the day I rule this land! Even the Gods will have to serve under my feet!”
Accompanying Dark Phoenix’s arrogant laughter, Remains Island began to collapse!
A Dragon head loudly broke out of the ground!
Tidomas’ head!
The Legends all made their battle preparations.
“Fight, fools!” Dark Phoenix sneered, “I have no spare time to play with you.”
At these words, her silhouette faded from view!
Marvin wanted to chase after her, but a roar interrupted his movement!
His body stiffened for a moment!
This was an overpowered Dragon Might!
Even though Marvin had a property allowing him to ignore Dragon Might, he was still unable to completely resist it!
Tidomas’ voice echoed, “Murderer who destroyed an Evil Spirit Plane, I saw you.”
In an instant, a frightening Evil Spirit power covered the whole sea.
The Legends felt a great pressure pushing down on them.
For that split second, they were almost unable to breathe!
This was power on the level of a God!
…
At this very moment, in the South Wizard Alliance’s cities.
All the high level Wizards gathered.
The Alliance’s higher-ups had announced an emergency gathering, so all the Wizards convened at the major cities.
In Bass Harbor, for example, all the Wizards were gathered in the public square.
A black-gowned figure appeared in the sky.
“Lady Dark Phoenix!”
A Legend Wizard was respectfully waiting for her there.
The black-gowned person said, “No need to be polite.”
“A critical time has come. I need to announce something.”
“I obtained precise information that several days later, the Gods will attack the Universe Magic Pool!”
In an instant, the public square exploded in a huge commotion!
The Gods would attack the Universe Magic Pool? Was there a mistake? How could this happen?
Even that Legend Wizard looked distracted.
Dark Phoenix seemed to be sat
isfied with their reactions.
She waved her hands and countless yellow amulets appeared in the public square.
“Everyone should already know what would result from the shattering of the Universe Magic Pool.”
“Every Wizard at the 3rd rank or above will be qualified to receive one amulet. If something truly happens, breaking this amulet might help you once.”
The next second, she disappeared.
Leaving behind impassioned Wizards!
And similar scenes were appearing all over the areas belonging to the South Wizard Alliance!
A huge plan was already being set in motion.
Chapter 417: Black Coral Island
Chapter 417: Black Coral Island
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Above the Remains Island sea, a frightening Dragon head was overlooking all living things, his shocking power suppressing the Legends and making them unable to breathe for a moment!
This was Tidomas’ true power.
He was a lot stronger than Diggles, and even though it was only a head that couldn’t manifest for a long period of time, it still exerted a frightening pressure on the Legends.
They were some of the most powerful people of the world below, but before the Universe’s real powerhouses, they seemed insignificant.
“Roar!”
Sky Fury triggered his Bronze Dragon transformation, but the originally huge Bronze Dragon seemed small in front of the huge Dragon head.
Black Dragon Izaka also waved his tail in worry.
Although he was also a mighty Ancient Dragon, he was in front of Tidomas, an ancestor of Dragons.
Although he became corrupt from the temptation of the Evil Spirit Sea’s power, he was far beyond what Feinan’s Dragons could contend against.
“Insignificant mortal…” Tidomas said disdainfully, “I was disturbed by a fool last time, but this time I’ll personally kill you!”
His eyes focused on Marvin with a thick killing intent.
Marvin naturally knew that during his trip in Saruha, if it hadn’t been for the Pale Hand foolishly helping him out, he would most likely have encountered Tidomas’ projection.
But despite the situation, he was worried about Dark Phoenix’s plan!
That woman was up to something.
Summoning Tidomas was only to delay them, preventing them from pursuing.
‘She is definitely doing something very important because otherwise, she wouldn’t have let go of such an opportunity to kill me.’
Marvin thought hard and suddenly looked at the people at his sides.
The others naturally were no fools, and were also able to realize this.
Marvin was hesitating when O’Brien suddenly fiercely punched Tidomas’ head!
“Marvin! Owl! You two go first!” he called out. Without any further words, he continued to fight Tidomas!
Inheim and Sky Fury also pounced over.
Stalling Tidomas while Marvin and Owl tracked Dark Phoenix was the best choice since Tidomas wouldn’t stay for long. It was clear that dealing with her conspiracy was most important.
Actually, Marvin had already realized this, but he felt it would be a bit embarrassing to be the one to say that he should leave.
The others naturally wouldn’t mind if it came from O’Brien.
Although they felt some fear when facing that Dragon Might, that didn’t mean they didn’t dare to fight!
After all, they were this world’s most powerful people.
If they didn’t dare to take up the challenge, who could face this world’s upcoming disaster?
They had to fight!
Black Dragon Izaka roared. Under Marvin’s orders, he had to brace himself and fight.
In an instant, everyone surrounded the Dragon head.
Marvin took a deep breath, taking advantage of this opportunity to flee to the Shadow Plane.
On the other side, Owl was even more slippery and had already disappeared.
Tidomas was furious.
“Come back!” he roared.
His roar was filled with the power of Dragon Might. It not only stunned the Legends but even affected those in the Shadow Plane.
Sure enough, a silhouette awkwardly appeared and fell down from the sky!
Shadow Thief Owl fell on a reef, and Tidomas grinned evilly as he aimed mouthful of Dragon Breath at him.
The green flames burnt Owl to ashes…
But the figure struggling in the middle of the ashes turned out to be a paper clone!
The real Shadow Thief Owl already took advantage of the situation to escape through the Shadow Plane.
And there was no need to speak about Marvin because when he prepared to escape, he had taken out Weeping Sky.
By holding it, Tidomas’ Dragon Might simply couldn’t hinder his movements anymore, let alone in the Shadow Plane!
…
In the black night, the two twisting shadows kept flying above the sea.
They were appearing and disappearing from time to time, their speed incomparable.
“Maintaining this kind of speed is truly too strenuous,” Marvin complained. He was using the Shadow Plane’s vortexes as springboards to travel back and forth between the Prime Material Plane and the Shadow Plane.
Relying on this, he could cover large distances very rapidly.
Little did he know that his performance greatly startled Shadow Thief Owl.
If not for him knowing that Marvin had just become a Legend, he might have believed that this guy had been in the Legend realm for many years.
He seemed to know the Shadow Plane like the back of his hand.
Only a handful of Legend rogues could use the Shadow Vortexes to this extent in all of Feinan.
And one considered the best among them was Owl.
After all, Shadow Thief was one of the classes most familiar with the Shadow Plane!
Noticing Owl looking at him as if he were a monster, Marvin laughed gently and explained, “My Domain is [Shadow].”
Owl was at a loss for a moment before shaking his head.
Even if the Shadow Domain would increase one’s understanding of the Shadow Plane, to be so familiar with it, one had to train for a long time.
Everyone had their own secrets. In his eyes, Marvin had too many secrets and things he was holding back.
The two remained silent for most of their trip across the sea.
This method of travel used a lot of stamina, but the speed was extremely fast.
A red line was visible in Marvin’s field of view, and its path was extremely clear.
This was the guidance from Night Tracking.
The effects of that skill had improved after advancing to Legend. Although Marvin didn’t obtain any item that belonged to Dark Phoenix, with her hanging around and talking so much, he was able to lock onto her aura and characteristics.
Thus, after she disappeared, he used Night Tracking and could clearly follow her path.
This path was perfectly straight, going northwest the whole time.
After some time, they went into a boundless fog.
The waters ahead were extremely dark.
They weren’t dark because it was night, but because these waters were full of black corals and black algae.
‘She really returned to the Black Coral Islands!’
‘She might have only gone to Remains Island to kill, and then taken the opportunity to give us some trouble when we happened to arrive.’
Marvin thought hard.
Tidomas’ appearance might have been something Dark Phoenix thought of later when she realized that the group of Legends had come. Her real goal in Remains Island was to kill Pietrus.
That pitiful Pirate King had originally been Dark Phoenix’s doppelganger and would often do some despicable stuff for her since she couldn’t appear.
But now that she had decided to stop acting behind the scenes, the Pirate King’s value to her had plummeted.
Beca
use he could leak some of her weak points or maybe other secrets.
Thus, she had to kill him before her enemies caught him.
She had succeeded, and Marvin couldn’t do anything about this.
‘I hope there is nothing wrong with Hathaway.’
The closer they got to the Black Coral Islands, the more nervous Marvin was.
At that time, Owl suddenly rushed out of the Shadow Plane and stopped on a coral.
Marvin also stopped, looking at the island in front of them.
Black Coral Island.
Its other isles were surrounding it, and the isle in the east wasn’t very visible. That was where Hathaway should be frozen.
Marvin felt anxious.
“Let’s check the east side first,” Owl said gently.
Marvin nodded in agreement, and the two sped over to the eastern isle.
When they saw it clearly, Marvin’s body froze!
There was nothing on the isle besides crushed rocks!
That angelic ice sculpture… had already disappeared.
“How… How could this be?”
“Did we go to the wrong place?”
Shadow Thief Owl’s expression also changed.
Marvin’s heart beat madly, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
He quickly got closer and found some fragments of ice crystals on the island!
These ice crystals were special. They would forever remain the same, never disappearing.
‘No bloodstains…’
‘She didn’t send a signal for help…’
‘Dark Phoenix’s strength shouldn’t have reached this level.’
Marvin’s thoughts were in disorder, but his mind could still be considered clear-headed.
Dark Phoenix couldn’t have killed Hathaway without the latter being able to communicate!
She was a Seer!
‘Could Dark Phoenix have taken her away?’
As Marvin was thinking, a thin shadow flew from the main island!
He was sitting on a purple flying carpet, approaching at an incredible speed.
Owl disappeared from his spot in silence.
Marvin coldly watched that man draw near.
The latter stopped the flying carpet and looked at Marvin in a condescending manner. “You are the one who wants to stop Teacher’s great plan?”
“A waste unable to protect his own woman actually dares to set foot on the site of the Black Coral Islands?”
