nChapter 47: Reason for switching weapons

nTranslator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

nThe gnoll Adjutant’s reaction time was faster than an ordinary person’s by a whole level, but Marvin’s was even faster!

nAfter transmigrating, Marvin’s biggest advantage compared to the other class holders was his control over his body!

nAn extremely tough soul that made him aware of every inch of his body.

nHe could adjust his body as he wished by quickly exercising control over it. Even though those minute adjustments used up a lot of stamina, and might cause minor injuries to his muscles and bones, there was no time to hesitate in a fight.

nHe tugged on the wishful rope, leaning his body backward, his legs abruptly coiling around the gnoll adjutant’s left hand.

n

"Bang!

"

nThe dagger fell to the ground, Marvin quickly thrusted his twin daggers in the aardwolf’s back between the ribs!

n

"Roar!

"

nThe aardwolf suddenly let out a painful roar, his whole body violently twitching. The gnoll adjutant turned pale with fright and lost his balance.

nMarvin stood on both daggers, his left hand quickly reaching to his waist, drawing the Kingfisher Jade Dagger!

n

"Woosh!

nAs fast as lightning!

nCutthroat!

nUsing cutthroat from the front would definitely lower the success rate of the skill!

nThe gnoll adjutant tried his best to dodge it. He moved his head, trying to let the small amount of armor on his neck block the blow!

nBut it was no use!

nThe Kingfisher Jade Dagger’s armor break skill, with its powerful armor penetration strength, made the dagger directly cut through that small steel section covering his throat.

nBlood flew everywhere. The gnoll adjutant’s carotid artery was cut open and much of the blood was sprayed on Marvin.

nHe looked like a devil, one foot trampling the corpse of the gnoll adjutant and the other on the squirming aardwolf!

n

"Wuwuwu…

"

nAn extremely vicious mutated aardwolf was actually whimpering...

nIt was completely subdued by Marvin’s aura!

nFor humans with their relatively low perception, aura might be something ethereal. But monsters could distinguish if someone was powerful thanks to their keen instincts.

nThe aardwolf wasn’t just scared by Marvin’s terrifying strength, he actually laid down on the ground.

nMarvin ruthlessly pulled his twin daggers from the aardwolf’s ribs and then put a dagger away.

nThe body shivered and then twitched to death.

nA large empty area appeared around the aardwolf’s dead body.

nAll the gnolls were retreating. They surrounded Marvin in the center while closely clenching their weapons. But their eyes were filled with fear.

nThe gnolls’ morale already reached an extremely low point.

nAnd they broke into an uproar; Marvin’s incredible fighting strength made them afraid!

nThe gnoll adjutant was only second to the gnoll Sorcerer in the gnoll tribe.

nHis death in battle gave a large blow to the gnolls.

nNormally, if something like this happened during a battle, most of the gnolls would flee.

nThose fickle things were unreliable!

nHowever, these gnolls didn’t run this time.

nBecause they had a leader.

nThe gnoll Sorcerer!

n...

n‘White River Valley will be back on foot as long as that gnoll Sorcerer is eliminated.’

n‘That gnoll Sorcerer is very sly, but he already used an earth puppet, so this is definitely his real body this time.’

n‘Not only do Sorcerers have a much lower mana pool than Wizards, but this one trained so many mutated aardwolves. This is definitely some kind of blood magic.’

nMarvin grasped his twin daggers, coldly looking at the angry gnoll Sorcerer in the pack of gnolls.

nThe other side was also staring at him, unwavering.

nEye of Pain, Earth Puppet, Mutated Aardwolf Taming...

nThis guy shouldn’t have many more powerful skills.

nMarvin made a very clear estimation.

nAccording to the results of his Inspect skill, this guy was a level 6 Sorcerer, he had just reached 2nd rank. A gnoll Sorcerer’s charisma shouldn’t be too high. Marvin estimated that his opponent shouldn’t have learnt more than three powerful spells.

nAs for the basic spells, Marvin wasn’t worried.

nAfter thinking this far, Marvin burst into a sprint, aiming at that gnoll Sorcerer!

n...

nThe gnoll Sorcerer truly didn’t have more 2nd-circle spells.

nAs a level 6 Sorcerer he was able to learn 2nd-circle spells, but he learned Earth Puppet and Wild Animal Taming.

nThese two 2nd-circle spells had no real attacking power, but they were quite good for developing a tribe.

nBut his fighting strength was actually really bad!

nHe already began panicking when Marvin charged toward him!

nHe kept using his Communicator skill to force other gnolls to block the path.

nBut he decided to flee for a reason.

nHis stats were really bad and his legs were short; he wouldn’t be able to run away from this killing god!

nHis only plan was to hide in the crowd and try to use a 1st-circle magic to kill this ranger!

nBut unfortunately, this plan was doomed to fail.

nBecause before Joey the archer had fled, he put an eye-catching mark on top of the gnoll Sorcerer!

nThis mark was stuck on his head, he couldn’t lift it!

nMarvin was thankful for this mark or he would have had to go through all those gnolls to find that gnoll Sorcerer.

nThe Sorcerer was quite short after all. If he crouched… How could he be seen!

nBut with the mark showing the way, Marvin moved with an imposing God-Slaying Buddha-Slaughtering aura. More than ten gnolls would die in an instant.

nFinally, he dashed in front of the gnoll Sorcerer!

nThere weren’t many gnolls left blocking in front of the Sorcerer now.

nFacing Marvin’s frightening killing efficiency, the gnoll troops seemed to fall apart for the first time.

nAlthough the gnoll Sorcerer ordered them using Communicator, they still remained still!

nBecause Marvin already caused them to be under Fear!

nThe gnoll Sorcerer snarled. He suddenly extended his right hand and pointed toward Marvin!

nBut unexpectedly, Marvin, who had been sprinting all along, suddenly slowed down. He dodged to the side with a roll as if he had already expected the Sorcerer’s move.

nA claw of ice shot up from the ground, at Marvin’s original position, hitting nothing.

nThe Sorcerer’s casting speed was fast!

nEspecially for a 1st-circle spell.

nThis hand-shaped ice spike was effective for sneak attacks. Quick and ruthless, and also adding a freeze effect. This was the favorite spell of many casters!

nOrdinary people would usually find it difficult to dodge.

nBut this masked person had managed to!

nThe gnoll Sorcerer shivered. This human was really too abnormal. The 1st rank estimated by his Inspect was definitely wrong!

nThat was definitely a 2nd rank powerhouse close to 3rd rank!

nBut what could he do now... He could only brace himself and keep using his remaining 1st-circle spells.

n...

nBut in reality, Marvin’s roll was a fluke.

nLuckily he had lowered his speed!

nBecause even though his dexterity was really high, his perception stayed the same so he hadn’t predicted this ice claw!

nThe reason he slowed down was because he suddenly found out that his twin daggers were bent!

n‘Those damned common weapons!’

nFeinan didn’t have a durability stats, but weapons and items would progressively wear down due to daily use.

nIf they weren’t properly maintained, they could turn completely worthless.

nThose curved daggers weren’t anything good to begin with, as Marvin had found them barely good enough to cut down people.

nBut during that charge, Marvin killed a great deal of gnolls. His curved daggers in his hands bent out of shape due to being unable to bear Marvin’s tyrannical moves.

nHe had planned to slow down and quickly switch weapons.

nHe unexpectedly sensed something fishy in front of him after slowing down, so he then rolled and avoided the claw shaped spike.

n

"Lucky, lucky…

" Marvin whispered.

nLuck was also very important in a fight.

nHe took advantage of the roll to ruthlessly throw the two bent daggers toward the gnoll Sorcerer!

nMarvin didn’t focus on the accuracy, but he scared the gnoll Sorcerer into jumping. He thought it was a Throwing Knife technique and actually used a Leap to dodge it.

nBut when he noticed that the two curved daggers were only something Marvin had discarded before taking two spare common curved daggers from his void conch...

nHe nearly fainted!

n...

nEveryone in the camp was speechless.

n

"Why did he switch daggers?

"

nThe adventurers were hesitating.

nGru used Sweep on three harassing gnolls before taking a quick glance and said, unsure,

"Maybe… The blades broke?

"

nThey were all doubtful.

nAn expert like Masked Twin Blades would definitely not use common daggers. How could they have been broken?

nBut they didn’t have time to find the answer, since Marvin had already arrived less than ten steps away from the Sorcerer.

nThe gnoll Sorcerer clenched his teeth and took a step forward, spreading both hands!

nA big mass of green liquid took shape in the sky!

nAn Acid Spray spell!
