Marvin forcibly repressed his urge to draw his daggers. “What happened to Hathaway?”
“She died,” he sneered.
“Wrong.” Marvin’s hands were already on the handles of his daggers. “I’ll give you another chance.”
“Dead is dead!” The man howled with laughter as he boasted, “No one can stop Teacher’s plan! She will rule this Universe. What are Seers? How could they not turn to ashes in front of Teacher’s Divine Fire?”
“I believe your name is Marvin, right? Teacher was too careful in the past. She had planned to keep enduring. Thanks to your appearance, Teacher shifted her plan. I have to thank you for that.”
“The few of us have already been restrained for too long and can finally let everyone see our strength!”
Marvin looked at him with pity. “You aren’t the first disciple of Dark Phoenix that will die to my weapons.”
“I’m not a waste like Monica who only knows how to show off and flirt!” Chains of lightning suddenly burst from the man on the flying carpet, surrounding Marvin.
“Remember the name of the one who killed you!”
“I am Wilhelm, a future Vassal God affiliated to the God of Magic!”
“I am the embodiment of Thunder and Lightning!”
Wilhelm’s shouts actually transmitted through the booming thunder!
The next second, the lightning fell. Marvin’s expression sank as he unsheathed his pair of [Azure Leaf]s.

Hearing such lines, Marvin inwardly shook his head.
This Wilhelm was probably someone who had followed Dark Phoenix for a long time.
He wasn’t weak in strength, as he was indeed a Legend Wizard. In peaceful times he could casually walk anywhere and be admired.
Unfortunately, becoming a Legend was only a starting point in this Era.
It could be seen that his talent wasn’t high. Although he seemed to be around 30 years old, Marvin could easily tell that this guy was at least 100 years old.
Legends who had lived for a century were usually very frightening.
But his body didn’t emit that kind of fearful feeling, and with those lines he’d spouted, it wasn’t hard to guess that this guy was an apprentice that had been oppressed by Dark Phoenix.
Marvin wasn’t afraid of him.
In his previous life, there was only one famous person with a name remotely close to his.
It was the old guy of the Bright Side Vampires, William.
As for this Wilhelm, he most likely had been used by Dark Phoenix as a shield at some point.
Like right now.
The thunder boomed, but Marvin didn’t move.
Wilhelm’s Domain was Thunder and Lightning, giving his lightning spells great bonuses.
But Marvin had the Magic Foe specialty. He wanted to see the limit of this specialty in battle.
For Marvin, Wilhelm was a perfect training dummy. Only Dark Phoenix was worth being considered an enemy!
The frightening lightning kept crashing into Marvin’s body, burning his clothes black!
The mighty electric current poured into Marvin but was quickly assimilated.
In theory, Chain Lightning could paralyze enemies for at least three seconds.
But this time was reduced to half a second for Marvin.
The Ruler of the Night class had high Magic Resistance in the first place, and with the addition of that specialty, Marvin was very satisfied with the outcome.
Meanwhile, Wilhelm thought that Marvin was paralyzed and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A large ball of lightning appeared in his hand!
“Die!” he bellowed.
The entire sky became dark as a large amount of black clouds rushed down!
Legendary Spell – Thunder Purgatory!
But Marvin’s silhouette suddenly disappeared!
Wilhelm froze with a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately triggered his scepter’s spell!
[Warding Circle]!
This was a spell that would create a force field around him that could keep enemies away from his body!
While Legend Wizards were indeed powerful, they were naturally at a disadvantage facing a Legend Rogue.
The latter had lethal damage and was skilled at closing with targets!
A quick cut to the throat and it would be the end.
Although Wilhelm was arrogant, he had no intention to take a risk.
But the next moment, Marvin’s lazy voice echoed in his ear. “Didn’t your teacher ever tell you that you should never rashly use a spell that needs more than two seconds to cast when fighting a Legend Rogue?”
The cast time of [Thunder Purgatory] was 2.6 seconds. In Marvin’s eyes, that guy only had Magic Power but no fighting experience.
Wilhelm held his breath, a feeling of terror spreading through his entire body!
“Furthermore, your [Warding Circle] was used too early.”
Marvin sneered, as he slashed downward with Azure Leaf!
Magic Penetration triggered.
The Azure Leaf directly tore Wilhelm’s defensive force field apart, ruthlessly chopping into his neck!
His body suddenly began to stiffen, turning into a scarecrow.
Not far away, the Wizard wiped his cold sweat in agitation as he sat on his flying carpet.
But Marvin was following him like glue!
Night Boundary!
“This Substitution’s timing could be considered a bit decent!” Marvin mocked as his dagger kept attacking!
The [Azure Leaf]s were top grade Legendary Weapons. Even without any skill, they would still have very frightening properties against Legend Wizards!
“Fuck!” Wilhelm cursed as he sweated all over. He clenched his teeth and threw out a yellow ball of light!
At that time, the space’s magnetic field completely distorted.
Even Marvin couldn’t maintain the Azure Leaf’s trajectory!
Taking advantage of this, Wilhelm had his flying carpet speed up and he once again pulled away from Marvin.
After suffering two unpredictable attacks from Marvin so suddenly, he became uneasy and thus decided to flee!
‘Such a lack of fighting experience…’
Marvin was speechless.
That man was shocking. What had given him so much confidence? What about his earlier words?
The Embodiment of Thunder and Lightning?
Didn’t he know that in a battle, the biggest taboo was showing one’s back while fleeing?
His back was completely undefended!
Although the flying carpet was fast, it couldn’t compare to the burst of speed from Marvin using the Shadow Plane!
Marvin forced himself and jumped into a Shadow Vortex. His body felt almost like it was ripping apart for a moment as he appeared behind Wilhelm!
Desperation Style!
Marvin slashed again and cut Wilhelm in two!
Blood flew out and the flying carpet immediately lost its powers, falling to the ground.
The pitiful Wilhelm, the self-declared future Vassal God of the God of Magic, died at Marvin’s hands.
Perhaps Dark Phoenix had promised him all kinds of benefits before he challenged Marvin.
Unfortunately, the dead have no chance to become Gods.
Marvin looked at Wilhelm’ corpse and inwardly shook his head again. Dark Phoenix kept trying to delay them. What had she planned in the end?
She even started sending her own followers to throw away their lives…
Could she be thinking of ascending to Godhood now?!
Thinking of this, Marvin was frightened.
The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt it was!
Dark Phoenix didn’t choose to ascend to Godhood during the early stages of the Great Calamity in the past because of one person: Glynos!
The Shadow Prince was still act
ive in Feinan. If Dark Phoenix ascended, he would take the opportunity to mount a sneak attack.
She didn’t dare to ascend with such a threat looming over her.
But everything was different in this situation. Not only was Time Molt in Inheim’s hands, but Marvin’s missile had forced Glynos to seal his God Realm and drift in the endless Universe, lying dormant.
There was no great threat to Dark Phoenix now.
And the Great Calamity was the most severe barrier the Wizards would have to cross!
‘She is thinking of ascending just as the Universe Magic Pool collapses!’
Marvin suddenly came to a conclusion!
But at that time, a thunderous sound echoed from the direction of the main isle of Black Coral Island!
A great cloud of smoke rose up from a tall mountain, followed by frightening flames!
‘Volcanic Eruption?!’
Marvin was somewhat dazed.
“Rumble!”
The volcano violently erupted and a huge amount of lava sprayed out as the surrounding waters shook.
At the same time, a shadow was awkwardly escaping from the main island!
Shadow Thief Owl!
While Marvin faced Wilhelm, he had stealthily gone to the Black Coral Islands’ main island!
But he was now being pursued by something.
‘Cursing Banshee?!’
Marvin frowned, readying himself to help Owl.
Chapter 419: Final Day
Chapter 419: Final Day
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The Cursing Banshee wasn’t a lifeform but rather a very powerful Legendary spell!
It was actually a Death-type spell. The targets would be haunted by a Banshee and keep receiving Death checks.
It was like a stronger version of Disintegrate!
Very few people could use this spell, because it was way too ancient and had been mostly forgotten.
But Marvin wouldn’t be surprised by any spell cast by Dark Phoenix.
Before he made a move, Owl suddenly used six Paper Clones.
His main body traveled back and forth among the six Paper Clones!
The Cursing Banshee shrieked and pounced forward. Every time she pounced on a Paper Clone, it would struggle for a few seconds before disintegrating!
Marvin frowned. This Cursing Banshee spell was too frightening, and the duration was far longer than usual.
Owl thankfully had the Origami skill to protect himself and ended up using eight Paper Clones to barely cancel the Cursing Banshee’s effects!
…
“How is it!?”
Looking at the smoke on the main island and the shaking ground, Marvin asked anxiously.
Owl shook his head.
He had only approached Dark Phoenix temple’s hall when he was noticed by the other side.
If not for him quickly escaping, he could have been hit by the Cursing Banshee, which would have had horrible consequences.
“The eruption is Dark Phoenix’s work.”
“She is ready to stake everything.”
Owl’s expression was very unsightly.
There was no information from Hathaway so far, making him worried.
But this volcanic eruption wasn’t a trivial matter. Under Dark Phoenix’s meticulous control, the main island’s buildings were almost all destroyed!
Although Marvin and Owl were both Legend powerhouses, they were unable to withstand this kind of natural disaster.
There was no way to find Dark Phoenix’s traces in this situation.
Marvin’s Night Tracking had already lost track of Dark Phoenix.
“I was found out.” Owl felt a bit ashamed.
If he hadn’t rashly entered the main hall and been discovered by Dark Phoenix, Marvin’s Night Tracking might have still been working.
But now that they have been found out, Dark Phoenix could find ways to hide from Marvin’s tracking.
Who knew where she ran off to now?
Marvin shook his head. He left the Black Coral Islands as the area was about to collapse into ruins.
…
Late at night, on the deck of a captured pirate ship, the Legends gathered once again.
Tidomas’ fury clearly hadn’t been easy to handle. Black Dragon Izaka had apparently been seriously injured so he found a small island to rest.
Marvin could feel from their contract that Izaka truly had received a serious injury, so he let him rest for now.
The other Legends hadn’t suffered as much harm. As Marvin left, he had given Izaka the order to block Tidomas, and Izaka thus blocked most of the attacks. Even if the others cut sorry figures, they only had many light injuries.
Everyone felt clueless about Hathaway’s inexplicable disappearance.
The volcanic eruption and the ensuing sinking of the island meant that their last clue had disappeared.
As for Dark Phoenix’s plan, it made everyone anxious and frightened.
“We need detailed information. We have to immediately return to the continent,” Lorant suggested.
Marvin nodded. He had already ordered the Wind Fairy to make the pirate ship rush to land.
The direction wasn’t toward Sword Harbor, but Jewel Bay!
Only in the territories of the South Wizard Alliance could they get information about Dark Phoenix’s schemes.
‘Carefully counting the time, it should currently be the morning of the 15th. Tomorrow is the day the Gods will attack the Universe Magic Pool.’
‘We’re running out of time.’
The ship cut through the dark waters for a while when suddenly, a bright light flashed through the sky!
It was a Golden Griffin!
The Legends on the deck had vigilant expressions on their faces.
With one of those fierce Griffins appearing so suddenly as they were approaching the coastline, it would be strange not to be on guard.
But the Griffin didn’t make any threatening moves and spiraled around the pirate ship.
“I am a messenger from Thousand Leaves Forest. I need to see Sir Marvin.”
The echoing melodious and sweet voice was that of a Wood Elven woman.
Marvin left the hold and hinted for everyone to relax.
It really was a Wood Elf. In this timeline, he was very familiar with the Wood Elves because he’d had a lot of dealings with them.
Even if he didn’t know that messenger, there shouldn’t be any need to doubt her identity.
The Wood Elf got down from the Griffin and calmly spoke with no fear of her surroundings, “Sir Marvin, I am under the orders of my King to bring you two pieces of information.”
The Legends looked at each other in dismay, feeling a bit stunned.
The Great Elven King had always been cold and aloof, rarely taking the initiative to get in contact with others.
He had only made a move at the Decaying Plateau for the sake of his son Ivan.
This time, they didn’t know the reasons, but he had actually dispatched a messenger to communicate a message to Marvin.
Did that mean that in the eyes of the Great Elven King, someone who was on par with Gods, Marvin’s status was important?
“Okay, let’s talk in the hold.”
There was a soundproof Barrier in the hold, so there would be no fear of someone eavesdropping.
The girl nodded and followed everyone to the hold.
…
The Wood Elven messenger was a very intelligent girl at the 3rd rank.
Her name was Butterfly.
Butterfly wasn’t part of the Elven Iron Guard and was only a rather average Wood Elf.
In her words, she had been chosen to send this letter because the manpower in Thousand Leaves Forest was currently in short supply.
The most powerful people were doing important things, so she had been sent for this errand.
Everyone was surprised at her words.
Someone that could earn the trust of the Great Elven King d
efinitely wasn’t someone as simple as she said.
But they weren’t focused on that part. They were more interested in the information she was carrying.
The first piece of information was about Hathaway.
Butterfly repeated the Great Elven King’s original words. “Hathaway is very safe at the moment. Not only is she in a very safe location, but some of this world’s most powerful people are protecting her. She successfully got rid of her curse, but for her, this might not necessarily be a good thing.”
The information about Hathaway’s safety made everyone, and especially Marvin, sigh in relief.
But the Great Elven King’s last sentence made Marvin frown. “Why is breaking the curse not a good thing?”
Butterfly blinked before slowly responding, “I do not know, Sir Marvin.”
Marvin considered it in silence.
This messenger was only repeating the Great Elven King’s words.
Although he had a feeling that something was wrong, didn’t Hathaway break the curse? Why didn’t she contact him? But for now, he needed to listen to the Great Elven King’s second piece of information.
He already had a guess: This information was most likely related to Dark Phoenix.
Sure enough, after seeing everyone having no more misgivings about the first piece of information, Butterfly took out a crystal ball.
“This is the second piece of information.”
The crystal ball seemed to be filled with a dense fog.
A square gradually appeared in the dense mist.
“This is Bass Harbor’s Burlington Square.”
Owl recognized it with a glance.
But the scene happening in the square made everyone break into cold sweat.
Dark Phoenix had publicly announced the arrival of the Great Calamity!
Moreover, Wizards that were 3rd rank or higher received a protective amulet from Dark Phoenix.
Who would believe that there would be no issues with the amulets!?
But the problem was, if they jumped in now to tell the Wizards not to use Dark Phoenix’s amulets, how many would believe them?
Dark Phoenix was the leader of the South Wizard Alliance, and Marvin was a rebel of the Alliance.
The scene in the crystal ball suddenly changed to another square, another crowd of Wizards, another black shadow!
“This is Steel City,” Owl said in an odd voice. “What is she after in the end?”
