“Don’t be afraid, I’ll get you out of here.” His tone was sorrowful.
The curse flaring up on Molly’s body was very troublesome. He didn’t know how Griffin was suppressing it before.
Maybe only something like the Truth Scale could suppress her.
With her current situation, Marvin knew that even if he brought her to Mother of Creation, it would be hard to save her.
But regardless, he would bring her away.
Molly’s body was very light. Marvin carried her and it felt as if he were carrying a ball of air.
Her body was cold and blood was still flowing down from her eyes.
“Is it you, Mister Marvin?”
“Did Uncle Griffin send you? It must be…” she mumbled.
Marvin bitterly looked at the girl in his embrace, letting out a grunt of acknowledgement, before starting to run toward the boundary of the array!
…
“You wish!” Bandel got angry.
‘What is going on today!?’
‘People keep coming out of nowhere, trying to disturb my plan!’
The Anzed Witch was one thing, that woman wasn’t to be trifled with. She had six kinds of the Anzed’s Highest Witchcraft Authority.
He had previously gotten a contract with a woman and obtained the 7th Witchcraft Authority, allowing him to use the Anzed Law to keep her in check.
‘But what about this man in front of me?’
Bandel had a pretty good memory and recognized that this guy was one of the Legends he had previously captured in the Wilderness Hall.
‘How could he be here?’
‘Did something happen to the Wilderness Hall?’
That wasn’t the point, though. This guy ignored him and openly tried to snatch his ritual’s medium. This was something Bandel definitely couldn’t forgive!
“Since you are courting death, die!”
The Lich’s voice sounded extremely sinister.
Following his roar, changes started appearing in the array.
The negative energy flowed crazily and a cyan ivy started growing, rushing toward Marvin!
Hathaway and Minsk both felt concerned.
“Careful!” Hathaway couldn’t help but shout.
This wasn’t the Wilderness God’s avatar, but rather, power coming from his main body!
It simply wasn’t something Marvin could fight.
The Lich was still sneering.
In his eyes, Marvin was already screwed.
He only had one end, and that was to be absorbed by the array and turned into nourishment for the Death Vessel!
But something happened that shocked them all!
Just when the ivy pounced on Marvin, he let out a loud shout.
The formidable Domain he had drawn out was no longer restrained after being prompted by the advanced False Divine Vessel.
[Domain – Plant Metamorphosis]!
Full expansion!
When he felt this familiar aura and power, even Bandel fell into a daze.
This was the power of the Wilderness God!
‘How could that kid have it…’
But he couldn’t ponder about it right now, because with the power of the Domain flowing out, the situation had changed greatly!
All the cyan ivy surrendered and automatically opened up a path to speed up Marvin’s retreat from the array!
Minsk’s eyes were close to popping out of their sockets!
‘Could this be the Wilderness God’s main body?’
‘Or an illegitimate child of the Wilderness God? No way, I never heard of the Wilderness God leaving any son behind, the women he captured were also eaten up…’
Minsk was in a daze.
But the array didn’t attack Marvin and instead helped out; this was a fact.
Before anyone could react to the strange development, Marvin carried Molly out of the array.
“What the hell are you?!” The Lich’s voice was extremely heavy.
“A mortal.”
Marvin’s answer was simple.
“Master, I recognize him!”
The Jade Banshee remembered Marvin and pointed out, “He was the Paladin’s companion, the Legend Great Druid who broke through our blockade!”
The Two-Headed Bone Dragon let out a low roar, apparently expressing his agreement.
“Legend Great Druid?”
The Lich’s soul fire flickered.
“Who you are doesn’t matter!”
“You’ll die today!”
“You two, kill him! Bring me back my medium!” Bandel ordered.
The Jade Banshee and the Two-Headed Bone Dragon immediately got ready to attack.
In their earlier encounter, they chose to retreat not because of Marvin, but because of Griffin’s Truth Scale!
After losing the intimidating Truth Scale, there was no way that Claudy, the Two-Headed Dragon famous for terrorizing the Crimson Wasteland, would be afraid of a mere mortal.
Even if something seemed rather strange about that guy.
Marvin tightly held Molly as he faced the two of them calmly.
He only coldly warned them, “You should probably care about what’s more important to you.”
The three were startled by his words.
Then, everyone looked at what was happening inside the array!
At one of the point of the six-pointed star, a small silhouette flashed near the coffin.
Hathaway!
Bandel felt like falling apart!
‘What the heck is happening today!’
‘Why does it look like everyone is able to enter the array?’
‘This is [Life and Death]! Any mortal would be crushed when entering!’
But he didn’t have time to be complaining about it, as Hathaway was already reaching the coffin.
Her eyes were fixed on the Cold Light’s Grasps!
“Stop!”
Bandel wasn’t the only one who shouted. Minsk also yelled!
But Hathaway wouldn’t listen to them.
“Lost things eventually make their way back to their owner.”
“The Ashes Authority will finally shine.”
“Return, my Night Flower.”
“Thud! Thud!”
After Hathaway’s soft voice drifted out, the two daggers automatically broke away from the coffin and fell into her hand.
A smile appeared on her face.
But the next second, a crazy laughter burst out and echoed through the Dungeon!
“No one… Can stop my resurrection…”
“Even the disciple I’m most proud of, Bandel!”

At that instant, the entire Dungeon seemed to go silent.
It was as if the air had been instantly drained, making all sounds die out.
All that was left was the peaceful lull, as well as the quiet sounds of breathing!
The Lich’s soul fire kept flickering very rapidly. This meant that his soul was now extremely nervous, or on guard!
Hathaway reacted quickly, relying on her unique Witchcraft to leave the Life and Death array.
‘That voice…’
‘Was it the Wilderness God?’
Marvin’s hairs were standing on end, and a chill spread from his bones to every corner of his body.
He had never heard a voice like that.
It was just a few sentences, just a few words… And even though the voice had spoken in Common, it gave out a feeling of boundless evil!
Even that group of Evil Spirit Overlords hadn’t given Marvin such a feeling.
He was now regretting that his Perception was so high.
The sharper the senses, the greater the impact!
…
“Respected Teacher, you’re overthinking it,” the Lich’s voice echoed. “This student has always been single-mindedly focused on serving you in order to let you
recover and move unimpeded through the Universe!”
“Wizard God Lance has already disappeared. As long as the ritual is completed, no one will be able to stop you in the entire Universe.”
“You don’t need to doubt my loyalty!”
Despite the Lich’s voice being very calm, Marvin felt something off about it.
Hathaway’s expression changed.
She noticed that the Night Flower was embedded in the Cold Light’s Grasps with a neat trick.
But she did seem to have awakened the Wilderness God’s consciousness after pulling the daggers out of the coffin.
The previous roars now turned into a clear voice coming from the coffin, indicating the recovery of the Ancient Evil God!
“Ah?”
“[Life and Death], that ritual is still something I gave you. Bandel, you are my student, so I understand you very well.”
“You hated me ever since I killed her. Did you really think I didn’t notice that? And now you claim that you were taking the opportunity to help me resurrect? Hahahaha…”
“You want me to believe you?!”
Everyone froze.
As the echoes of the Wilderness God’s words dissipated, the coffin lid fell to the side.
The flame merged with a statue in the coffin.
That statue looked sinister. There were eyes grown all over the face, the body was surrounded by barbs and ivy, and it seemed to be a petrified man.
His movements were very stiff, but his voice was very clear, apparently not affected by the petrification.
‘This is the Wilderness God?’
Marvin held his breath.
Marvin could already feel his power despite the fact that he had yet to recover!
If the Wilderness God recovered completely, his strength might be above that of the current Tidomas!
Molly was still struggling in Marvin’s embrace.
However, when the Wilderness God appeared, the little girl opened her eyes again.
Despite the blood still flowing out of her eyes, she stopped struggling.
“What’s going on? Molly?”
Marvin noticed the changes in the young girl’s actions and asked in worry.
“That’s a bad person.” Molly pointed at the petrified man and conscientiously said, “Uncle Griffin won’t let him off.”
‘Griffin?’
Pain jolted through Marvin’s heart once more.
Clearly, the cursed girl’s awareness was far more confused than that of common children.
Griffin was already dead, and Marvin didn’t want to continue talking about that topic.
But looking at her serious face, Marvin couldn’t help but feel sorrow.
Griffin’s corpse was actually in Marvin’s Origami Space, along with Isabelle and the Winter Assassin.
When the Wilderness Hall collapsed, Marvin didn’t want to let the worthy Paladin’s remains end up buried under the rubble. He decided to take them with him to give him a proper burial later.
Unfortunately, Molly didn’t know of anything that happened after she was captured by the Bone Dragon.
Marvin only held the cold girl tightly, whispering, “Yes, I’m sure of it.”
…
“Teacher, you have surely misunderstood me,” the Lich explained. “You taught me the Life and Death ritual, so you can see that you are in the Life position.”
The petrified man went silent for a while.
But he suddenly violently shouted, “Witch!”
“Why is there a Witch! That bitch Faniya… She actually joined hands with the Anzeds to scheme against me…”
Although the petrified man seemed to be enraged, he didn’t look powerful. He glared angrily at Hathaway, who met his gaze without showing any weakness.
“You are the Wilderness God? Hehe, if not for me, your consciousness would still be locked inside that coffin. You should be thanking me.”
Hathaway arrogantly raised her chin.
She could see that the current Wilderness God’s aura felt very frightening, but he himself was actually extremely weak!
If she had fused with the last High Witchcraft Authority, then she would now be looking at the opportunity to slay a God!
Thus, she wasn’t afraid of him!
But the other people present were fearful and wary of the recovering Wilderness God.
Not everyone was immune to those waves of fear emanating from him!
Marvin had high Willpower, but even he didn’t dare look into the petrified man’s eyes. He felt that he would become petrified if he did.
This was the power of the Ancient Evil god!
…
“Thank you? Very well, just wait until I’ve resurrected and I’ll eat you first as thanks,” he viciously retorted.
His gaze ultimately landed back on the Lich.
“Bandel, I’ll believe you once for now. But you know that I’ve recovered this far now. If you dare to pull any tricks during the ritual…”
“You should clearly know the consequences.”
The Lich calmly replied, “Naturally.”
“In fact, the ritual had already started, only a small accident happened. You can start activating the Life and Death array’s power.”
The petrified man stood at the peak position of the six-pointed star, looking coldly at everyone present. He completely ignored Marvin and Minsk, as well as the Jade Banshee and the Two-Headed Bone Dragon.
It was like these people didn’t even exist to him.
This feeling was unpleasant.
“We can’t stop him,” Minsk bitterly said. “I kept trying to contact my father, but he hasn’t answered to me in a long time. It seems like there is really some problem. Otherwise, he would have answered, with such a great issue upon us.”
Minsk originally still had hope. The Ancient Nature God and the Ancient Elven God of yore were second only to God Lance. He definitely had the strength to stop the Wilderness God. But the Nature God wasn’t answering him, just like how the Migratory Bird Council had lost their connection with him.
“Leave this place.” Hathaway instantly appeared at Marvin’s side.
Although she didn’t care about the life and death of the Wilderness God, she still had an impression of Marvin.
Her instinct was urging her so much, and she didn’t want Marvin to die here.
“Leave? Too late,” the Lich’s gloomy voice echoed.
“Since my teacher has already recovered, how could you possibly escape?”
Then, the Life and Death array became fully operational!
The petrified man stood in the Life position and started pouring in the strength he had saved up over the years.
The flame shrank to a faint flicker, and a Divine Vessel began condensing out of nowhere!
The Lich’s fog quickly rushed around the array.
“He is right, you’ll all be my first meal after I wake up!” the petrified man howled with laughter.
In an instant, the space in the entire dungeon seemed to freeze as Divine Laws starting sealing it!
Even Marvin’s tangible Domain and Hathaway’s abilities were ineffective!
The group all went pale.
In fact, only Molly, still in Marvin’s embrace, seemed a lot better. Perhaps the power was helping to suppress the curse from flaring up.
“The day has finally arrived.”
“Finally… my power… came back…”
The Wilderness God felt the strength surging from the ritual, and he couldn’t help but sound gleeful.
But he suddenly felt startled for a moment before becoming furious!
“What are you doing!”
A strict voice rang through the dungeon.
The Lich coldly said, “I’m just doing what I should be doing.”
“Even if a stupid Witch disturbs my plan, I won’t give up.”
“Dear Teacher, you really did understand me.”
“I really… truly hate you!”
In a flash, every
one could feel the sealing from the Divine Laws instantly disappear.
A heavy weight seemed to be lifted from their bodies, and they all regained their freedom.
“Look!”
Minsk pointed at the Life and Death array.
Hathaway calmly chanted something, and the three of them slowly rose up and hovered in the air.
From that vantage point, they overlooked the Life and Death array and could see every change!
The originally pure-white grass was now changing at a visible speed!
From pure-white to pitch-black!
It was quite surreal seeing the wave of darkness spread through the grass.
And matching with it, the lower part of the array was also transforming. A great amount of a black aura rose up, leaving the white grass behind.
The three of them opened their eyes wide!
Life and Death were still Life and Death.
But the sides of the array had actually reversed.
Lady Silvermoon’s location suddenly became the Life position, while the Wilderness God became the sacrifice!
This looked simple, but to be able to hide something like that from the notice of the Wilderness God… Who knew how much the Lich had paid for that!
“He wants to resurrect Miss Silvermoon!”
“That’s not good!”
“Without the suppression from the Cold Light’s Grasps, Bandel might not be able to restrain the Wilderness God!” Minsk said while grinding his teeth.
Hathaway frowned, not knowing what to think.
The Wilderness God raised his head and was roaring angrily as he tried to struggle free of the ritual’s control.
At that time, Bandel couldn’t help but worriedly shout, “Witch! What are you still hesitating for?”
“Can’t you help? Do you really want to see the Wilderness God return?”

They all looked at the scene with strange expressions. Bandel was actually asking for Hathaway’s help?
The situation had escalated too quickly, and they weren’t able to react.
The Wilderness God’s consciousness and Bandel began their struggle.
The black side and white side of the Life and Death array were fiercely fighting each other.
The ritual itself had been built by the Lich, and even though it was essentially different, the one who taught him the method was still the Wilderness God. However, after researching it for so many years, he had already made many changes, and thus, he should have had absolute control over the ritual.
