  He turned his head slightly and peered over. In the darkness of the tunnel, a pair of red eyes could be seen.

  ‘Not Human?’ Marvin was a little disappointed.

  Shortly after, he was overjoyed!

  Because he noticed that the figure was a languid viper!

  This snake was completely scarlet, and its body wasn’t very thick, but each wiggle carried a powerful force.

  ‘It looks like Snake Shapechanging.’

  Marvin reacted.

  ‘This is the Snake Witch!’

  ‘Yes. The Snake Witch cannot bask under the sunlight, but perhaps when she is in a different form, the curse can be temporarily alleviated to some extent.’

  ‘So this is indeed the reason she was called the Snake Witch among the Anzed Witches. It was because her innate ability was to turn into a snake.’

  ‘She looks like she is in a good mood today.’

  Marvin held back his desire to act immediately and silently waited for the scarlet viper to crawl over.

  The viper’s movements were very graceful. It was now noon in Feinan, and some rays of sunlight were appearing, mostly bathing the poplar tree.

  The scarlet viper looked at the sunshine, showing a strong longing in her eyes.

  She quickly slithered over, but wasn’t able to notice that there was someone behind the poplar tree.

  …

  Closer.

  The distance between the two was now no more than ten meters!

  Marvin stayed calm, a serious expression flashing in his eyes.

  ‘Now!’

  Snake-like creatures were very sensitive to movements of the air and warmth. Although his Hide was very powerful, as she got closer, the risk of him being discovered grew.

  He didn’t want to waste his previous efforts.

  In an instant, his silhouette burst out from the shadow!

  The viper was still unhurriedly crawling through the pile of rocks. It had simply never occurred to her that there could be a frightening enemy hiding in her back garden.

  Marvin burst out like lightning, flashing forwards as the snake flickered her tongue.

  Marvin held Weeping Sky, piercing the spear’s tip into the viper’s vital and forcibly pinning her on the pile of rocks!

  Weeping Sky wasn’t only for slaying Dragons; it was also a true Legendary Weapon.

  Its sharpness was ranked among the best among spear-type weapons.

  Marvin didn’t use Sodom’s Blades because he hadn’t fully grasped their power yet.

  The Snake Witch was a very formidable enemy. If he didn’t take the advantage with this sneak attack, it would be very easy for him to fall into the predicament of fighting a powerful caster.

  This would be detrimental to Marvin.

  Weeping Sky was as sharp as Marvin had imagined and directly pierced through the viper’s vitals.

  As the blow landed, the entire rock pile shook.

  Marvin had used too much strength, and the spear pierced through the rocks.

  Even though the viper was frantically struggling, she still couldn’t escape.

  But the Snake Witch reacted very quickly, rolling up her tongue and then striking at Marvin’s waist.

  The tongue was extremely quick, and in an ordinary person’s eyes, it was as fast as lightning.

  But Marvin could even clearly see the fork in the tongue.

  The tips were shaking frantically, which showed that the Snake Witch was suffering greatly from the attack.

  After landing the hit, Marvin didn’t try to strike another blow, but actually let go of Weeping Sky!

  He jumped away, dodging the Snake Witch’s counterattack.

  “Sssss!”

  An ear-piercing hiss reverberated in the small ravine, just as the sunlight happened to peek through. The poplar tree stood silently over their sudden fight.

  “Woosh!”

  Which a quick flash, a pair of curved daggers suddenly appeared in Marvin’s hands.

  The first attack had already seriously injured the Witch. It was time to end her life with Sodom’s Blades.

  Even if the Emperor’s Spirit didn’t release all of the daggers’ power for Marvin, the daggers were still the powerful Artifact used by Sodom to rule over the Underdark.

  Just attacking with the flat sides of the blades would be a lot more powerful than the Azure Leafs had been. Marvin wasn’t quite used to the weight of Sodom’s Blades as he prepared to attack.

  But then, the viper’s body suddenly shrank back.

  The snake coiled itself into a ball, wrapping around Weeping Sky and slowly pulling herself out.

  Marvin frowned. He had lost some tempo after dodging the Snake Witch’s feint.

  The snake’s scarlet body shuddered and turned brown, the skin looking much older.

  ‘This is… Molting?’

  Marvin looked at that scene in surprise.

  ‘The Snake Witch had that skill?’

  In mere moments, the viper finished molting, and at the part pierced by Weeping Sky, the viper’s body split in two, letting her escape!

  The Snake Witch had been reborn anew!

  She had turned from a scarlet viper into a two-headed monster.

  One of the heads had a faintly festering Human face on it!

  “You have the aura of the Anzeds on you!”

  “Ah! Did that group of sluts send you to kill me?”

  As the Snake Witch roared, the other head spat out a green mist.

  The green poison flooded the entire ravine.

  Marvin’s expression changed.

  Although his resistances were very high, the Snake Witch was a master of poison. Her poison would definitely be frightening.

  He immediately took out the Grayhawk Staff and answered while casting, “Although I have a bit of a relationship with the Anzeds, I’m sorry to tell you that my arrival has nothing to do with them.”

  “I need some of your things, but if I had asked you directly, you certainly would have definitely rejected me.”

  “Thus, I looked for a way around it before deciding to kill you.”

  As Marvin said that, the Grayhawk Staff burst with an even brighter radiance.

  [Major Magic Dispel]!

  The Grayhawk Staff was at the level of a peak Legendary Weapon, it could turn an ordinary person into a Greater Druid.

  Hit with the powerful dispelling effect, the poisonous mist dispersed completely, not leaving any traces behind.

  “A Great Druid?”

  “Since when have the Migratory Bird Council’s people been so unreasonable?”

  The Snake Witch felt shocked when she saw her poison mist slowly thinning.

  She originally thought that the attacker was just a reckless Assassin, but now he was using a Great Druid Nature spell so easily.

  As far as she knew, only those in Feinan’s Migratory Bird Council could perform such a feat.

  She had suffered a serious injury, so she was trying to stall for time.

  Of course, she had already gleaned a lot of information about that youth.

  She had seen through his disguise in a glance. Marvin possessed the Disguise ability from his Shapeshift Sorcerer’s bloodline, which would work fine against most people. But in front of such a powerhouse, it was just a joke.

  …

  The Snake Witch’s act was pretty good. Unfortunately, Marvin had no intention of saying anything superfluous from the start.

  Since the Dream God’s Divine Servant failed to assassinate him, Marvin had been provoked like never before, and he also became more aware that his strength was still insufficient.

  From the Snake Witch’s point of view, she was very unlucky, having been eyed by Marvin for an unjust reason.

  But this didn’t mean that he could let her could keep on living!

  Since Marvin mad
e the decision to attack, besides killing her, there wasn’t another path.

  The Snake Witch was a person who knew how to hold grudges, and Marvin would not be able to sleep well if such a woman had a grudge with him.

  Thus Marvin remained silent in spite of the Snake Witch’s question. He put away the Grayhawk Staff and suddenly dashed at her.

  35 points, Post-Godly Dexterity!

  Marvin seemed like a monster to the Snake Witch’s eyes. She didn’t have time to blink before Sodom’s Blades fell on her body.

  She screeched loudly.

  When he heard it, Marvin felt a strange vibration shaking through him.

  His bones let out cracking sounds!

  Followed by a burst of pain!

  This sudden pain made Marvin unable to keep a steady hold on his daggers.

  But the Snake Witch didn’t seem much better after letting out that sound.

  Her eyes were full of resentment, and the scarlet body went somewhat slack. This [Bone Breaking Screech] used a huge amount of her Magic Power.

  This was a type of Legendary Witchcraft that would grievously injure both sides, shattering the bones of all creatures within five meters!

  Marvin’s bones were fracturing, and so were the Witch’s.

  But for the Snake Witch, this was the only spell that could stop Marvin.

  The next second, the Snake Witch transformed once again, losing her scaly scarlet snake skin. A shivering, naked woman walked out of the red mist.

  The Snake Witch was beyond furious.

  As an immensely powerful caster, she had not suffered a loss for a very long time.

  In the Underdark, besides the usually silent man in the neighbouring hill, she hadn’t met any decent enemies.

  She ruled over the Rotten Mushroom Swamp, and all the monsters there were under her thrall.

  Any reckless intruders would end up dying in the swamp.

  If someone was captured alive by her, that person would definitely regret being born. After all, an outstanding Alchemist and Poison Greatmaster needed many test subjects.

  It was said that she was proficient in all the poisons in this world, so everyone who knew about her was afraid of her.

  It’s been a very long time since she had felt so much pain, making her chest flood with anger.

  ‘To be able to enter my domain secretly…’

  ‘It’s must be that woman who told him.’

  As she thought about it, the Snake Witch’s eyes became even more clouded.

  She hated the Anzeds to the bone. As an extremely prideful person, the Snake Witch displayed shocking talent in her youth.

  She knew the Witchcraft system like the back of her hand and had almost managed to control all of the Witchcraft Authorities.

  But the previous Witch Queen didn’t let her become the leader of the Anzed Witches.

  She was enraged by this injustice and thus, shortly after, the Anzeds faced their first major crisis since they had been established.

  Although the crisis was avoided thanks to some Gods secretly helping them, it was also a huge setback for the Anzeds.

  Many Witches fell, and even the Witch Queen had been mortally wounded. She had struggled at death’s door and used her last bits of power to curse the Snake Witch, but was unable to completely kill her.

  She knew about her own level of power.

  The more powerful the person, the stronger the disagreeable aura of death coming from them would be.

  Under Marvin’s attacks, she clearly felt the dark summons from the Underworld.

  This terrified her.

  This man had to die!

  She was completely naked after her transformation dissipated, and under the surrounding red mist, each part of her skin looked very alluring.

  But at that time, a ray of sunlight landed on her.

  The area hit by the sunlight began to fester and became extremely repulsive!

  She looked hatefully at the courtyard.

  It was all because of that damn curse!

  Otherwise, with her strength, how could she have suffered a sneak attack from a little kid?

  She already had an idea of what she wanted to do to Marvin.

  She wouldn’t let Marvin die easily. She would slowly peel off his skin and sprinkle a soul-searing poison powder on his head.

  Just the thought of this made the Snake Witch unable to help smirking cruelly for a moment.

  But next second, after that red mist scattered, her smile froze.

  The ravine was completely empty. She couldn’t see Marvin’s figure even with her Infrared Sight!

  “This is impossible!” The Witch had a terrible expression.

  She knew the power of the [Bone Breaking Screech]!

  Even someone on the level of a Divine Servant would be incapacitated by that spell!

  Because that Legendary Spell originally had an Authority that exceeded the Divine Laws.

  It had been made from the creation of a formidable Legend Wizard of the 3rd Era, specially designed to restrain the Gods’ spells!

  These types of spells had once been very popular in the 3rd Era, because of the many confrontations with the Gods after they descended to Feinan.

  Some of the casters that sought knowledge and power snorted disdainfully at the Gods. They scorned those who chose to ascend to Godhood, but they still had no choice but to find some means to face the Divine Power of those New Gods.

  Thus, they started researching many spells able to target the Divine Laws.

  This type of spell was usually called a [God Slaying Seal].

  Naturally, there were many kinds of spells that could be categorized as God Slaying Seals, and Bone Breaking Screech was just one of them. The Snake Witch, as a prominent existence from the 3rd Era, had grasped a great many God Slaying Seals, but only the Bone Break Screech could let her recover from the absolute disadvantage that she had been in just now.

  She had been quite satisfied with the outcome of the spell. From Marvin’s reaction when he got hit by it, she knew that he had received a serious wound!

  His bones had definitely been crushed.

  Because of the God Slaying Seal, even with a recovery ability on the level of Gods, he would still need a couple of minutes to recover.

  He would die within these minutes!

  …

  But the current situation was different than what the Snake Witch had thought.

  Marvin had disappeared!

  It couldn’t be Hide.

  The Snake Witch still had her powerful ability to sense warmth. She hadn’t found Marvin before because of carelessness, not expecting that she would be impaled while taking a stroll in her back garden. He had also attacked before she had drawn near.

  Marvin had used her relaxed state of mind to successfully land the sneak attack.

  But her counterattack was definitely effective, or she would have already turned into a corpse.

  ‘Astral Plane? Shadow Plane?’

  The Snake Witch closed her eyes, and an ancient chant came out of her mouth.

  If Marvin were here, he would have been shocked to hear that the Snake Witch was chanting in the Ancient God Language.

  Ancient runes floated over, forming a pale yellow array.

  The air began to grow restless, as every light trail behind the runes seemed to fit together like a puzzle.

  The Snake Witch’s hands opened, and her entire person seemed just like a sculpture, as her eyes turned pure white!

  “Come out, Lil’ Rat…”

  Then, two lines of blood burst out of her eyes!

  …

  Marvin was floating painfully in the endless darkness.

  His bones had shattered completely!

  The Snake Witch had reacted faster than he had thought she would!

  The Post-Godly Dexterity was actually not a
ble to let him escape or interrupt the instant [Bone Breaking Screech]!

  The only thing worth rejoicing about was that the Bone Breaking Screech was a double-edged spell. Despite the Witch having the advantage of being Shapechanged into a snake, which would doubly mitigate the damage from the spell, it would still take some time to return to Human form.

  While they were both unable to move, Marvin had resisted the pain and opened the [Eternal Night Seal]!

  Eternal Night Seal’s advantage was its flexibility.

  This specialty could seal an enemy in the Eternal Night space, but it could also hide himself inside.

  Seeing a rogue class suddenly disappear like this, an enemy would first search the Shadow Plane and then the Astral Plane before looking for other planes’ entrances.

  The entrances to these planes were very difficult to find. The Eternal Night space belonged to Marvin and had its own planar coordinates. In fact, it was equivalent to an empty Demi-Plane. Marvin didn’t have the strength to support a Demi-Plane for a long time though.

  Even so, the average spell couldn’t find him or grab him out of it.

  Thus, he could hide inside for now until he recovered.

  ‘The Bone Breaking Screech… is truly frightening. A lot more effective than the rumors had said.’

  ‘But she should also be weakened right now, so it should be a while before she can search for me.’

  ‘I have the advantage, she can’t find me…’

  Marvin’s thoughts were cut short by a sudden pair of white eyes piercing through the darkness!

  The Snake Witch’s delicate and crazed face appeared in front of him, covered in blood!

  “Fuck!”

  Marvin cursed loudly, looking at her in disbelief.

  Marvin truly hadn’t thought that the Snake Witch would still have enough Magic Power left over to look for him after all that had happened.

  Moreover, he’d thought that even if she did have energy left, she wouldn’t be able to find the location of his Eternal Night Seal anyways.

  As the powerful gravitational force tore at Marvin’s body, trying to drag him out of the Eternal Night Seal’s space, something occurred to him.
