nChapter 517: Pursuit!

nTranslator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

n'Who is it?'

nMarvin immediately closed his eyes and used Earth Perception.

nEvery movement was captured in his mind, including the grass moving in the wind.

nNot far away, two black-clothed men were watching him coldly.

nMarvin could feel the killing intent they were barely concealing!

nThe Dream Shrine's people!

nMarvin abruptly opened his eyes.

nHe noticed that the emblems the two had were those of high ranked Guardians.

n'Even though Holy Light City is one of the Gods' bases of operations in the Crimson Wasteland, there shouldn't be Guardians of such high rank here.'

nMarvin felt a chill. 'If I'm not wrong, that emblem should belong to the highest Dream Guardians…'

n'As long as they had enough contributions, they could be promoted to Divine Servants.'

nMarvin knew that the distinction between a Divine Servant and a Divine Guardian didn't represent the gap between their strength. It was more of a matter of honor and being treasured.

nSome Divine Guardians were even stronger than Divine Servants.

nThe reason these Divine Guardians weren't promoted was due to the Divine Servants' spots being already filled, or the Guardians not having enough contributions yet.

nThe Dream Shrine had countless competent people. And although the Dream God wasn't as powerful as the three Great Gods, his unique domain was still rather intimidating.

nIt was generally believed that the Dream God had the ability to control people's dreams.

nHe could kill people in their dreams, and it was said that he had even killed a God in this way!

nNaturally, that was during the chaotic 3rd Era. The Dream God remained low-key afterwards.

nHe was considered relatively gentle among the New Gods, at least on the surface. He treated Feinan's powerhouses very well and made friends with many of them, even recruiting a few to his side.

nThis was something Marvin could confirm from Ambella's approach.

nAmbella didn't initially act against Marvin. On the contrary, she had extended an olive branch to him.

nBut in Marvin's eyes, that olive branch was a kind of a threat.

nFrom what he knew, the ambitions of the Dream God were greater than those of any other New God. He would rather believe in Grant, the God of Dawn and Protection who had killed his own friend, than believe in the Dream God, who was second only to the God of Deception when it came to tricking people.

n...

n'An interplanar pursuit, that Ambella is truly decisive.'

nMarvin couldn't help but hold that woman in high regard.

nIt seemed that becoming the Dream God's first Divine Servant wasn't a fluke, since she was able to make such resolute decisions.

nThe recruiting failed, so she had to make sure he died.

nSending two veteran Dream Guardians to handle a Legend who had just advanced already showed that she thought highly of his abilities.

nPerhaps those two Dream Guardians felt that she was making a big fuss over nothing?

nAfter all, most of the Dream Guardians were tested in battles against Devils, Demons, and other lifeforms.

nAn ordinary Legend powerhouse was simply not worth their attention.

nIf they couldn't deal with Marvin with that kind of force, then they could only send Ambella or the Dream God's avatar!

nOf course, it was too much for Marvin.

n...

nAlthough he had discovered his enemies, Marvin was still in a very difficult situation.

nOn the bright side, the use of force was not allowed within Holy Light City.

nBut there were still unwritten laws in the cover of the dark.

nAs long as no one was found, and even if found, if no one accused them, even murder and arson were fine.

nThis was the common rule in all places of the Crimson Wasteland.

nMarvin knew this well. These two Dream Guardians were waiting for dusk.

nThe Crimson Wasteland had both daytime and nighttime. It was just that the degree of darkness at night wasn't too obvious.

n'The Dream Shrine is a very powerful force in Holy Light City. When I was chatting with Griffin, he told me that the Dream Shrine might be the first place he would visit.'

n'If I'm stuck here with them, the only one who will suffer will be me.'

n'These two chasing me with no back-up shows their overconfidence. They most likely came to Holy Light City to borrow the intelligence-gathering of the Dream Shrine and not to get troops. This is fortunate.'

nMarvin calmly finished his bread and suddenly disappeared, rushing outside the city.

n...

n

"He found us. That kid is quite vigilant.

"

nSwift smiled as he watched Marvin's wild escape, the ridicule apparent in his eyes.

"This hunt is becoming interesting.

"

n

"Don't be careless.

" Wayn remained calm as he stood to the side.

"Someone held in high esteem by Ambella must have some abilities.

"

nA strange expression flickered in Swift's eyes as he muttered dismissively,

"Oh? I'll ask what abilities he has after killing him.

"

nHe then disappeared.

nWayn shook his head helplessly and silently followed.

n...

nMarvin was very quick. He was leaving afterimages in Holy Light City's alleys as he fled.

nRelying on his Godly Dexterity, he could get rid of most enemies.

nBut these two Dream Guardians were clearly not included among those.

nMarvin could only choose to leave the city.

nThe city was the home ground of the Dream Shrine, so it would be better to start a fight in the wilderness.

nHe was extremely fast as he dashed out of Holy Light City like a blur.

nBecause of the two Dream Guardians chasing, Marvin could only choose the closest city gate and ended up in the northern wilderness after leaving Holy Light City.

nAn endless series of snowy mountains could be seen in the distance.

nMarvin sped up, continuing to rush north. If he couldn't throw them off, he would have to fight for his life on a mountain.

nOn the way, he tried tricking them with his Shadow Doppelganger and Paper Clone, but just as he expected, these two Dream Guardians weren't just common soldiers.

nThey had experience and were able to lock onto Marvin's main body.

nIt was hard for him.

nHe felt quite threatened by the power of the two Dream Guardians!

nAfter leaving Holy Light City, they unhesitantly revealed their strength!

nThis was the confidence of a hunter.

nAfter Marvin felt it, even if he was upset, he couldn't help but admit that these two men were really fierce.

nThey had the strength of Level 5 Legends, or more!

nIn short, their strength could be considered to be at the top of Feinan.

nOnly an expert like O'Brien might be able to contend with them.

nEven Ivan only would have a 50% chance of success against these two.

nOne versus one, Marvin was confident he could kill them by using his treasures and the powerful properties of his Legend class, but facing the two of them together was something totally different.

n'Troublesome Ambella.'

nThe face of the Dream God's servant appeared in his mind as he silently thought.

nIf he managed to escape this time, he would definitely chase her down after returning to Feinan.

nThinking about this, he had already covered a long distance, the snow mountain was apparently already in front of him.

nThe only good news was that the speed of the two Guardians was only on par with Marvin's.

nThey should also be at the Godly Dexterity level. Not having passed that bottleneck, they could only follow behind Marvin and were unable to close the distance.

n'Wouldn't it be possible to use something to block them and then use the Migratory Bird Council's tool to slip away back to Feinan?'

nThis would be quite regretful. He came to the Crimson Wasteland for a mission, and although he didn't want to go back to Feinan so early, he wasn't completely reckless. Although getting stronger was important, that was only if he stayed alive.

nBut as he thought of that, there was some movement on a dead tree on the snowy mountain ahead of him!

nMarvin's eyelids twitched. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed a shadow suddenly charging over!

nHe instinctively reacted at that instant.

nBurst! Shadow Step!

n

"Woosh!

"

nA tearing sound echoed as a shallow hole appeared on Marvin's waist!

nDrops of blood flowed down.

nMarvin's face became serious.

nHe stood there, coldly watching the culprit behind the sneak attack.

nThe latter seemed stiff, but was in fact very clever.

nIt looked like a mantis. Its arms were just like blades and its skin could change color freely. It had a distinct imprint on its head showing that it was a servant!

nIt was a Blade Demon!

nThe two Dream Guardians behind Marvin also stopped.

nTwo south, one north, the Dream Guardians and the Demon blocked Marvin's path.

n

"Interesting…

" Marvin calmly said.

"Since when do the Gods and Demons work together? The Dream Shrine's latest recruit is a Blade Demon? Such big news.

"

nSwift derided,

"You are about to die and you can still speak nonsense?

"

n

"We are unrelated to that lowly Demon, but it seems that your ability to stir up trouble is exceptional. It's been many years since I've seen a Human offend both Gods and the Abyss' Demons at the same time. And you are actually still trying to get everything to go your way.

"

nThe Blade Demon remained silent, only staring at Marvin.

nIts arms were very sharp and could resist the Legendary curved daggers.

nThat guy was also a very frightening enemy!

nMarvin wasn't certain he would be able to beat it in a duel, let alone now that there were two Dream Guardians watching him.

nHe rolled his eyes as he quipped,

"Since that's the case, why don't you settle the old grudge first?

"

n

"I'm just a common Human, you can kill me anytime. With such a rare opportunity, don't you want to discuss first?

"

nSwift sneered,

"Scheming weakling.

"

n

"You will definitely die today. Of course, that Demon will also die, rest assured.

"

n

"Swish!

"

nBefore Marvin could come up with his next words to keep provoking the Dream Guardians to fight with the Demon, the latter suddenly charged at Marvin like a gust of wind!

nIts speed was unfathomable!

nEven Marvin found parrying difficult.

n

"Klang!

"

nThe Blade Demon slashed ruthlessly, and Marvin forcibly used Azure Leaf to block.

nBut a fierce pain shot through his wrist!

n'Fuck! So strong!'

nMarvin hardened himself. Since things had reached this stage, he could only go all-out!

n
