Chapter 506: Magic Eye

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Anyone that was battle-oriented would be able to tell that this would be amazingly useful in battle just by looking at the properties!

Because any ability that could stop time would be equivalent to a Legend Spell!

It shouldn't be underestimated because of its short duration. A one second area freeze or three second single-target freeze was a lot for those that were extremely powerful.

When Inheim, Hathaway, and Owl worked together against the Shadow Prince, they had relied on the spell Space-Time Bind to give Owl the opportunity to steal Time Molt.

The only regretful thing was that Time Funnel had clearly been used quite a few times already and there were only two uses left.

Marvin rejoiced when he saw that item. Fortunately, Balkh didn't use it against him in the battle.

Perhaps he didn't know what it was… or maybe he didn't have the chance to use it.

The only chance Marvin had given him was the moment he had been restrained by the Corrupt. Unfortunately for Balkh, he had been greedy and wanted to get Marvin as his subordinate.

If he had been more decisive, although Marvin might not have necessarily died, he would definitely have paid a huge price.

For example, he may have been forced to use the Magic Addict Shape. The Magic Addict Shape was very powerful, but Marvin would only use it as a last resort.

Compared to the Greyhawk Staff, which could turn him into a Nature Wizard any time he wanted, Marvin was more pleased with the unexpected Time Funnel.

When facing powerful enemies, it could make the critical difference in a deadly battle.

And the third item was something that Marvin currently couldn't use at all.

...

Magic Eye (Oddity)

Description: Anzed Witch's belonging

Property 1: Daily Witchcraft usage 5

Property 2: Able to use a Middle Ranked Witchcraft daily as well as three Lesser Witchcrafts

Property 3: When using (Witchcraft – Search), the user may gain some unexpected harvest

Three effects, and every single one of them was very good.

The unfortunate thing was that this wasn't a common item, but rather, one with harsh usage conditions.

Most Oddities were very special. They were very special or even unique, and could be comparable to Artifacts in this respect.

After all, Legendary Items could be imitated, but Artifacts and Oddities were each one of a kind.

Marvin actually had the Anzed Bloodline. After all, this was the first group of Humans to reach Feinan, but it was also the first clan to be exterminated. The Anzed people believed in Witchcraft and Witches. Witchcraft was a system of its own and was unrelated to the Universe Magic Pool. It was rumored by some that they were related to an Archdevil, while others said that they had good relations with Demon Lords. Who knew where the power of these Witches came from?

What Marvin was sure of was that the Anzed Witches were a very mysterious clan, and their unique Witchcraft system was quite powerful. A particularly extraordinary Witch had once been a Plane Guardian, and although they had declined overall, it seemed that they had been trying to preserve their strength.

Among the players of Feinan Continent, a few had become Anzed Witches, but those people never leaked how they had advanced. They were quite powerful.

Marvin wasn't unfamiliar with the Anzed Witches in this life.

Hathaway's curse actually came from an ancient inheritance, which was something Marvin hadn't expected. But when he got the Witch Queen's Tear, he understood everything.

The tear not only gave him bonus willpower, but also granted him the ability to use the Witchcraft Flight, as soon as he gathered the mediums needed and prepared it. However, he hadn't reached the level of being able to use an item on the level of Magic Eye.

In short, he temporarily had no use for this Oddity, but it would be good to keep it and perhaps gift it to Hathaway.

...

Having completed his appraisal, Marvin had no more reason to stay in Black Swan Hill.

Marvin felt something wrong about the old man's reaction concerning Minsk, but he couldn't just hang around here. Although Black Swan Hill was inhabited by many more ordinary people, it wasn't large and it didn't take long for him to explore the whole area. He asked around and didn't get any information about Minsk, so he went on his way.

This time, he had to go through two snowy mountains to reach Holy Light City, which was said to have spring all year round.

In fact, the Crimson Wasteland's climate really had no set patterns. It was strange and irregular.

Black Swan Hill was a typical temperate mountain range, while Holy Light City was a warm city built upon grasslands, but there were snowy mountains surrounding one side.

If not for these mountains having gaps to facilitate people's travels, Holy Light City might not have been able to develop to this stage and become the core power of mankind in the Southern Wasteland.

According to the description on the map, from Black Swan Hill, he needed to keep progressing along the Lost Path before reaching the foot of the snowy mountain and finding Torch Valley. After smoothly continuing through this fairly calm road, he would be able to see Holy Light City.

But Marvin also got additional information on Black Swan Hill.

He didn't know whether it was related to the appearance of the Cold Light's Grasp daggers, but the mountain seemed to have become quite dangerous.

Many travelers left the Lost Path and were unable to find the entrance to Torch Valley because it was buried behind crazy snowstorms.

They could only climb the snow mountain instead, thus increasing the danger.

There were many hidden dangers in the snow, all kinds of Legend lifeforms: Snow Woman, Immortal Snow Soul, Undead Dragons and others. Many of them were too powerful even for common Legend powerhouses to face.

Someone guessed that the snow storms were man-made. The cause might be a powerful Wizard manipulating the weather because he didn't want more people to come to fight for the Cold Light's Grasps.

Many people recently tried to go from Black Swan Hill to Holy Light City, but were stopped by the snowstorms and had to return.

It just so happened that a group of adventurers was setting off for Holy Light City when Marvin left. They apparently tried to climb the snow mountain three days before, but had unluckily met a half-awakened Immortal Snow Soul in an avalanche.

An Immortal Snow Soul was a mass of Snow Souls, but its fighting strength far exceeded that of a regular Snow Soul, making it quite difficult to defeat one, even for a team of Legends, and they might die to it in a war of attrition. Thus, most people who met a slumbering Immortal Snow Soul would immediately retreat. It wasn't a wise move to face one in the midst of a blizzard on a snowy mountain.

Since they were going the same way anyways, the team invited Marvin to join them when he was gathering information. Marvin accepted their invitation and joined their ranks.

Following some veterans was better than going alone.
