His body was hidden in the [Eternal Night Seal] and taking advantage of the peeper’s carelessness he easily escaped into the black forest.
‘So it was her.’
‘It looked like she didn’t mind us going through here.’
‘So… What was her goal earlier?’
Marvin hid in the darkness and was able to clearly look at the person spying on him.
It was that green clothed woman.
Her body had clear temptress’ characteristics.
Marvin recognized that race, it should be a Jade Banshee.
Jade Banshees were rare, but had very high casting talent.
If not for Marvin’s stealth being so powerful, high enough to deceive a Heaven Observer, he might have already been discovered.
‘Eh? Where is she going?’
Seeing the Jade Banshee disappear in the depths of the black forest, Marvin couldn’t help but follow her.

The black forest became the best cover for Marvin.
The Jade Banshee was clearly unaware that she had been followed.
She was holding a crystal ball that was emitting a faint light. The crystal ball was displaying the scene of Marvin and Griffin going north and leaving the range of the black forest.
After that, nothing else appeared in the crystal ball.
The spell clearly had an area restriction.
Marvin was silent, his curiosity triggered.
His intuition told him that this Jade Banshee’s appearance in this place was definitely not a simple matter. She tried to stop others from approaching the snow mountain, but why?
And the fact that she let them go free proved that it wasn’t in order to block the path between Black Swan Hill and Holy Light City.
She was apparently hiding something.
Black forest, secrets, and the news of Cold Light’s Grasps’ appearance, Marvin couldn’t help thinking about all those.
He was already in the black forest anyway, so Holy Light City was already within reach. If Half-God Minsk was still there, a few days wouldn’t make a difference.
He followed the Banshee all the way, pushing his sneak ability to the peak.
They reached the center of the forest after about twenty minutes.
This was the boundary between the mountain and the forest, where dark rocks and ghostly trees were interwoven.
A small entrance appeared behind a bush, in front of Marvin.
The Jade Banshee quickly went in.
Marvin hid behind a tree and closed his eyes.
[Earth Perception]!
His mind was completely immersed in his surroundings. He caught that unique rhythm and a three-dimensional image of his surroundings appeared in his mind.
This was one of Monks’ most crucial skills, as the outstanding perception it granted could help them safely avoid danger.
He could feel a strange magical aura.
This seemingly ordinary snowy mountain actually contained such a shocking Chaos Magic Power.
The reason it wasn’t obvious was that this Chaos Magic Power was sealed by some formidable strength.
It was like the Universe Magic Pool used by God Lance to seal the Universe’s Chaos Magic Power.
This place apparently hid a Magic Pool of a much smaller scale!
Marvin was even more shocked when he discovered that this Magic Power was somewhat different from ordinary Chaos Magic Power.
The Magic Power… Seemed to have its own life.
This feeling made Marvin shiver.
Chaos Magic Power had always been one of the most important elements of the world’s living things. It was like Order Power, existing as a foundation.
But that foundation was based on Magic Power being non-sentient.
Chaos Magic Power could destroy the mind of an ordinary person because it could destroy a bit of Order Power. But if Chaos Magic Power had consciousness… Marvin didn’t dare imagine what could happen.
‘What’s happening here?’ Marvin was on alert.
‘Could this place be the rumored Regis Ruins?’
‘The secret base established by that group of crazy Wizards in the Crimson Wasteland? What kind of experiments did they perform?’
The black forest turned into a den of evil monsters, and the inside of this mountain surprisingly had an aura similar to living Magic Power.
Upon sensing it, Marvin felt that it was a bit inconceivable.
That Jade Banshee was clearly familiar with this place, as evidenced by how she had gone in without any hesitation. And what she was planning was most likely related to the Regis Ruins.
Marvin began to hesitate.
He came to the Crimson Wasteland to look for Half-God Minsk, while tempering himself on the way.
The greatest benefit of being in the Crimson Wasteland was the time flow being faster than Feinan’s.
By getting some experience here, he could fight all kinds of experts and receive some Comprehension to increase his level.
When he returned to Feinan, his strength would most likely be on a whole new level.
And at that time, it would be a lot easier to face the descending Divine Servants.
He didn’t forget that he was already on the blacklist of the Black Dragon God, Dream God, and other powerful Gods.
But that aura coming from the Regis Ruins kept enticing Marvin.
It had to be said that Marvin had a very adventurous nature.
He craved the unknown. Besides the constantly impending crises, this was one of the reasons he was able to progress so quickly in Feinan.
Seeing some ancient ruins before him, he couldn’t help wanting to go in.
‘After so many years, even if there were any terrible mechanisms or guardians, they should have most likely disappeared.’
‘Although that Jade Banshee is a caster, she shouldn’t be directly related to the Regis Ruins. Since she was able to enter smoothly, then there shouldn’t be a problem. Being a bit cautious would be good too.’
Marvin then made a decision.
But he didn’t just rush into the tunnel. He used a skill first!
[Ruler’s Wrath]!
That powerful skill could not only turn him into a giant, but could also make him small like an ant.
After shrinking, Marvin became extremely light.
[Witchcraft – Flight]!
He used the Witchcraft ability granted to him by the Witch Queen’s Tear before flying quietly into the cave like a dragonfly.
…
Behind the entrance was a simple tunnel.
Judging from the tunnel’s slope, it should lead to the core of the mountain.
Marvin sped up and reached the end of the tunnel after ten minutes.
He flew out of the tunnel and arrived in a huge room!
No one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary mountain was hiding such a vast dungeon!
Marvin controlled himself and looked at everything around him.
He already couldn’t find words to describe how imposing the dungeon was.
Although a large part of it was in ruins, he could make out from the wreckage of the wooden walls that this had once been a magnificent city.
Stalactites were hanging down from the ceiling with jewels embedded on them that emitted a faint light.
These jewels, along with the fluorescent moss on the ground, made up the dungeon’s rare light source.
The huge city was built on an uneven underground area, and from the scale of this dungeon, it might have been able to host 50 000 to 60 000 people at its peak.
This was a very exaggerated number. After all, the underground resources were quite poor. Most dungeons were unable to provide for such a huge population!
What shook Marvin the most was the building that stood out in the center of the city!
Maybe building wasn’t a suitable w
ord to describe it.
Because Marvin could feel it pulsating!
It was a grotesque but irregular sphere that left a profound impression.
It was bound in the center of the cities by countless iron chains, and a tube was running through the surface of the sphere.
‘Could this be… The rumored Dungeon Core?’
Marvin closed his eyes and heard the throbbing sound.
That thing was like a pulsating heart!
This all felt like an illusion.
What exactly had those Regis casters done here back then?
Suddenly, a green light flashed before Marvin.
Chapter 514: Miss Silvermoon
Chapter 514: Miss Silvermoon
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Jade Banshee!
Marvin discovered her aura.
He was currently on a high platform, overlooking the entire dungeon.
He saw the Jade Banshee quickly moving through the dungeon. She might not have expected someone to be able to follow her, because she was moving casually and not hiding her tracks.
This made it a lot more convenient for Marvin to keep track of her.
Marvin turned back to normal and used Stealth before chasing after her.
The two ran through the Regis Ruins, one behind the other. Marvin very cautiously followed the same route the Banshee took.
This place was filled with an ominous aura. Who knew how many traps were in the dungeon?
Marvin didn’t want to reveal himself, and from the casual way the Banshee was moving, it looked like she was certain she wouldn’t trigger a trap.
The two rushed through the dungeon for about ten minutes before reaching the central area.
This was a public square.
The edges of the public square were in ruins, and from the look of them, it seemed that some formidable power had once erupted in the public square, causing the surrounding buildings to all collapse.
Marvin hid behind the ruins cautiously.
He glanced restlessly to the east, where the Dungeon Core was still beating vigorously.
Some Chaos Magic Power drifted around in the air. Marvin felt that the Chaos Magic Power looked like a living Fairy lusting after him.
That feeling made him very uncomfortable.
The Magic Power was too strange.
But when the Banshee stopped in front of the stone statue in the public square, his pupils shrank!
Miss Silvermoon!
There was actually a statue of Miss Silvermoon here!
Marvin frowned. A statue of Miss Silvermoon was in the Regis Ruins… What did it mean?
This kind of statue was basically a medium of worship.
Could the Regis’ casters be an unconventional Magic Organization that believed in Miss Silvermoon?
And was their destruction related to Miss Silvermoon’s fall?
A series of conjectures popped into Marvin’s mind.
As the woman was being rather careless, Marvin decided to get closer.
The Jade Banshee was staying right in front of the statue of Miss Silvermoon.
With his superior eyesight, Marvin managed to see a floating skull!
A faint light was emitting from the skull.
Marvin realized that this was a Lich’s skull!
The Lich himself might not be there, but this skull was basically his half-avatar.
Marvin became more cautious and chose a relatively dark area to hide in while still watching conveniently.
At that time, he suddenly noticed something wrong with the statue.
‘That statue… Isn’t it too realistic?’
‘If it was crafted by a craftsman, it could be considered a Heavenly work.’
Although Marvin wasn’t familiar with Miss Silvermoon herself, he knew what kind of person she was.
After all, with his obsession with the game, he knew information about almost every major character in Feinan.
That statue was too realistic.
Even the painful expression was portrayed miraculously, seeming so real.
Marvin was in disbelief.
‘Hold on! That’s not right.’
‘If it was a statue used for Faith, it would never be in such a situation.’
Marvin wiped his eyes and looked at the statue of Miss Silvermoon once again before realized what had felt wrong.
This seemed to be the scene of Miss Silvermoon’s death!
There was a deathly hole in her stomach, and both hands were drooping powerlessly as it looked like she wanted to grab something.
Her expression was one of extreme pain, mixed with struggle and disbelief.
So many different feelings could be seen so vividly in one statue. Marvin didn’t believe that there was a craftsman able to do that in this world!
So besides that, there was only one other explanation.
This was Miss Silvermoon!
This was her fallen Divine Body!
Despite this being a ridiculous conjecture, Marvin instinctively felt that this was most likely the truth.
Even though after a God’s death, their God Realm would fall and form a terrible black hole, sucking the Divine Body in before falling continuously into depths of the Astral Plane, there were also some exceptions. Due to some special reasons, a God’s Divine Body could remain instead.
Right now, Marvin was a bit interested in Miss Silvermoon’s death.
Miss Silvermoon was someone that shouldn’t be provoked in this world.
Moon Goddess Faniya was very low-key, as a 1st generation Ancient God that rarely showed her face, but her strength was on the same level as that of the Nature God and the Elven God.
Marvin recalled the origins of Miss Silvermoon:
It was said that in ancient times, Feinan broke away from Chaos and the power of Order rose up under Lance’s strength.
At that time, monsters from the depths of the Universe didn’t appear anymore and Feinan had a short period of peace.
The Moon Goddess, as a 1st generation Ancient God, was basically born alongside the Nature God and the Elven God.
One day, she left alone for the depths of the Wilderness and was said to have taken a nap under an old osmanthus tree. After waking up, she had a baby in her arms.
The baby had powerful Divinity and the Moon Goddess was very fond of her. She felt that the baby was a daughter bestowed by the heavens and granted her a part of her Divine Power.
She brought Miss Silvermoon back to Feinan, who then became part of the Ancient Gods with Lance’s approval.
After Miss Silvermoon became an adult, Faniya personally crafted a pair of straight daggers tailored just for her.
Those were the legendary Cold Light’s Grasps.
Not only were the daggers a masterpiece among Divine Weapons, but they were also enchanted with Magic and Divine properties. Furthermore, they were cultivated by Miss Silvermoon herself, to the point that later on, that Artifact’s reputation had surpassed Nightfall, which had been created by the Shadow Prince by going all over the Universe.
This was roughly what Marvin knew of Miss Silvermoon.
He knew this because of Cold Light’s Grasps. As for her fall, there was no official information about it in the game, and no gossipping player had let out anything about it in the forums.
But Marvin felt something suspicious.
The Moon Goddess was one of the most powerful Ancient Gods. Even though she didn’t interfere with the other God Realms, if someone provoked her, it wouldn’t end well.
In history, there had once been a talented Demon Lord appearing in the Abyss.
That Demon Lord was born with low standing, but he was shockingly gifted. He killed his way out of a bloody sea and slowly became a bright star among the Demons. But because he was showing off during his rise, he somehow offended the Moon Goddess, which led to Faniya directly annihilating the Abyssal Plane where the Demon Lord was living!
A whole Abyssal Plane!
The Moon Goddess’ action was a ruthless slap, but none of them reacted.
Although this matter didn’t mean much, it was enough to highlight the Moon Goddess’ strength.
It wasn’t inferior to that of the New Gods’ Great Gods.
Under such circumstances, if someone dared to act against Miss Silvermoon, even though the Moon Goddess couldn’t openly start a fight due to the rules of the Crimson Wasteland, she could still retaliate privately.
If someone wanted to make a move, they would have to check whether they had the strength to become one of the first-rate experts of the Universe.
There was definitely a secret behind all of this.
…
While Marvin was thinking, that floating skull suddenly opened its mouth. “Trash!”
The angry voice echoed throughout the ruins and made Marvin turn his attention back from his musing.
He didn’t directly look at the Lich’s skull because a Lich’s avatar usually had very strong Perception spells.
He only needed to listen, not look.
“You couldn’t stop a few Humans so you let them leave!”
“You have made me very disappointed!”
The Jade Banshee explained while feeling wronged, “We met some very troublesome enemies.”
“One of them was a Paladin who could use the Truth Scale. You know of the restraining effect of the Truth Scale on Puppy. The Truth God died such a long time ago. How could I have expected a follower of the Truth God to appear there?”
“Furthermore, the other one is a Great Druid. His speed is frightening and his blade skills were able to cut down my Mist Dragon instantly!”
“In that situation, I could only choose to guard the ruins.”
The Jade Banshee’s words clearly had some weight.
After a long time, the Lich head mumbled, “Paladin of the Truth God? I haven’t seen one for so many years.”
“And a Great Druid capable of instantly killing a Mist Dragon? Damn it, I underestimated those two.”
“Okay, let’s forget about it. It’s good that they didn’t find Luna. My Barrier will be activated in half an hour, and there will be no living beings in the dungeon, so you can leave.”
