nRuler's Wrath (Legendary Skill)

nDescription: User can freely regulate the size of his body, become huge like a giant or small like an ant. Limitations based on Constitution.

nIn simple terms, this was an active size changing skill with no side effect.

nBut the skill was different from ordinary size changing skills. Using Ruler's Wrath, Marvin could still keep his original overpowered attributes.

nImagine a hill sized giant with Godly Dexterity, this was an overwhelming destructive force to ordinary Legends.

nAnd from another point of view, Marvin believed that just as his strength kept growing, so would his enemies keep getting more and more frightening.

nThese enemies wouldn't necessarily be humans.

nThey might be the large bodied monsters from the Astral Plane.

nWhy were Dragons formidable? Why was the Mechanical Titan's melee strength unequalled?

nMost of them were huge monsters pressuring medium sized monsters thanks to their huge size.

nDemon Lords, Archdevils, Evil Spirit Overlords, they all had avatars or doppelgangers able to enlarge themselves.

nIt was the same for Gods.

nThis was the important rationale why Marvin chose this ability.

nIn short, after acquiring Ruler's Wrath, Marvin's overall strength greatly increased.

nIf he wanted to deal with a Mist Dragon now, he might simply use Ruler's Wrath, activate Diamond Shape and rely on his melee abilities to tear it apart.

n...

nOn another corner of the snow field, the Paladin was startled by the fall of the Mist Dragon.

nGriffin was shocked. He hadn't thought that this young Ranger had such frightening blade techniques and burst power.

nHe had made such a strong first impression after brandishing his daggers. At that time, the Paladin still believed that Marvin was a Great Druid with a Ranger subclass, with fairly good blade techniques.

nYet there was someone even more shocked.

nThe atmosphere of imminent battle at the bottom of the mountain instantly disappeared.

nThat green clothed woman startledly looked at that bloody mist halfway up the mountain with visible anger in her eyes.

nIn fact, Bone Dragon Claudy was her master's, Lich Bandel's, pet. Her pet was that Mist Dragon.

nShe had an instant reaction upon the Mist Dragon's death.

nShe simply hadn't thought that the two would deal with the Mist Dragon in such a short time!

nWasn't that too quick?

nMarvin's power completely wrecked the woman's scheme. She originally planned to use the Mist Dragon to block the two while her and the Bone Dragon would take care of that group of four adventurers before joining up with the Mist Dragon and deal with the two remaining aggressors.

nAs a result, there was a hitch in the plan.

nShe gravely underestimated Marvin's strength!

nIt resulted in her current awkward situation. Due to Lich Bandel's command, she had to stop everyone who got too close to the snow mountain!

nRegardless who it was, they had to stop them at all cost.

nBut that plan wouldn't work now.

nBecause there seemed to be a problem with the Two Headed Bone Dragon!

nThis sinister and frightening Bone Dragon was emitting some clattering sounds while looking at the Truth Scale halfway up the mountain!

nAfter being in contact with it for a long time, she naturally understood that it was actually scared!

nThat Paladin wasn't simple. His Truth Scale had a powerful restraining effect on the Bone Dragon!

nAlthough Claudy was subdued by Bandel, he hadn't reached the stage of being willing to die for him.

nNext second, the Bone Dragon raised his heads and chanted in Draconic. A great amount of fog appeared and he instantly vanished.

nThe woman clenched her teeth before following suit.

nShe couldn't beat those six people by herself, much less with Marvin and Griffin, those troublesome existences.

nBandel's goal was to stop the Regis Ruins from being discovered. His barrier should be hidden enough and now only these few people could get past.

n...

nMarvin and Griffin weren't aware of what happened down there.

nThey only saw the Two Headed Bone Dragon disappearing as well as a supposed Legend woman in a green dress leaving shortly after.

n

"That Bone Dragon seems to be quite scared of your Truth Scale.

"

nMarvin tidied himself up and slowly walked over.

nGriffin looked at Marvin with newfound respect,

"Your blade techniques are very powerful. I haven't seen such a fierce explosive power in a long time.

"

nAs for the four adventurers under the mountain, they stood there awkwardly, as if they had been granted amnesty.

nThe two men didn't bother with them.

nGriffin simply wanted to cross the mountain and Marvin also wanted to reach Holy Light City. With the obstacles disappearing, the two also kept going forward.

nWithout the Mist Dragon and the snowstorm blocking them, the two Legend powerhouses' pace was very quick.

nThey soon reached the summit of the mountain!

nLooking down from the summit, they saw an imposing city in the distance.

nClouds were below their feet, but Marvin straightened his back and was able to see through that barrier covering that city on the plain.

nSome hot air balloons were flying above the city, and a group of Wizard Towers in the east seemed especially eye-catching.

nFamiliar God's symbols fell into Marvin's eyes.

nHoly Light City.

nThe reason why that city was called Holy Light was because this used to be one of the strongholds of the Gods.

nIt was different from a city controlled by a shrine, Holy Light City was a city with multiple forces.

nThat place was filled with God Shrines, followers and Divine Servants.

nIt was also the reason why Paladin Griffin had hope of removing the girl's curse in Holy Light City.

nThis city's waters ran deep. Marvin reminded himself that he couldn't expose his identity.

nHe incurred the hatred of quite a few Gods back in Feinan.

nIf his identity was revealed in the Crimson Wasteland, who knows how many Divine Servants would chase after him!

n...

nUnder the snow mountain was an endless black forest, with a flaming red path in the middle.

nThat path was an extension of Torch Valley, able to guide the adventurers to avoid the evil lifeforms in the black forest.

nMarvin learnt from Eisengel's map that this black forest was home to many evil lifeforms. Moreover, these evil lifeforms weren't naturally formed, they were actually the products of the Regis' caster group's failed experiments.

nIn some unknown corner of the black forest were supposedly the Regis Ruins, representing the most dangerous area of the black forest.

nThe Regis organization was said to have a secret relation to Miss Silvermoon. She had fallen just when a great amount of evil lifeforms appeared in the Regis Ruins.

nPeople guessed that these two matters were somehow connected.

nMarvin had no interest in Miss Silvermoon, and although he felt like getting a hold of Cold Light's Grasps, he still had no clue to follow at the moment.

nThe Mist Dragon and the green clothed Legend Wizard that appeared earlier seemed to indicate something.

nBut there were too few clues, and it was hard to analyze even for the current Marvin.

n

"Let's go. Holy Light City isn't far.

" Marvin said in a low voice.

nGriffin nodded, his eyes were at loss, but when he turned to look at the little girl on his back, he found his resolve once again.

nMarvin inwardly sighed.

nHe had quite a good impression of that Paladin.

nHe naturally knew what Griffin was worried about.

nHoly Light City's waters indeed ran deep. Although there might really be a Divine Servant or Apostle able to remove the girl's curse, everything had a price.

nHe believed in the God of Truth, and the latter had fallen.

nTo those Gods, such a powerful Paladin was worth recruiting.

nThose Gods had quite a few means to change his faith without detriment to his strength. The condition was his willingness.

nIf he really wanted to remove the girl's curse on this trip, the difficulties this Paladin would face would be very grim.

nUnfortunately, Marvin himself couldn't help.

nIf it was Mother of Creation, she might still have a way, but Marvin was unable to provide help.

nMoreover, the two were strangers, they might never meet again in this life.

nIt was useless to muse too much.

nThinking of this, Marvin couldn't help speeding up.

nSoon, the two safely arrived at the flaming path at the foot of the mountain.

nAt the other end of that path was Holy Light City.

nBut Marvin suddenly stopped.

n

"What is it?

" Griffin asked, somewhat startled.

nA smile appeared at the corner of Marvin's mouth, but he soon shook his head,

"Nothing.

"

nThe two kept going forward.

nAfter five minutes, they exited the black forest.

nGriffin was about to say something, but that Ranger who walked beside him suddenly turned into a Paper Clone!

n

"See you again if fate allows it, Paladin.

" The Paper Clone said with a smile.

nThe Paper Clone was shattered in the wind.

nGriffin thoughtfully turned to look at the black forest, apparently understanding something.

n

"May we meet if we are fated.

" He briefly bowed his head and kept going forward with the girl on his back.

n...

nFive minutes earlier, Marvin found something interesting on the edge of the path.

nSomeone was spying on them.

nIt looked like he didn't make any move, but he actually secretly used Shadow Doppelganger and Paper Clone Substitution to switch with and hide himself.

nHis body was hidden in the Eternal Night Seal and taking advantage of the peeper's carelessness he easily escaped into the black forest.

n'So it was her.'

n'It looked like she didn't mind us going through here.'

n'So… What was her goal earlier?'

nMarvin hid in the darkness and was able to clearly look at the person spying on him.

nIt was that green clothed woman.

nHer body had clear temptress' characteristics.

nMarvin recognized that race, it should be a Jade Banshee.

nJade Banshees were rare, but had very high casting talent.

nIf not for Marvin's stealth being so powerful, high enough to deceive a Heaven Observer, he might have already been discovered.

n'Eh? Where is she going?'

nSeeing the Jade Banshee disappear in the depths of the black forest, Marvin couldn't help but follow her.

n
