Chapter 527: Witch

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Isabelle.

Marvin had guessed that it was her, but he still felt a bit shocked when he heard it from her own mouth.

He never expected to be able to meet her in this place.

The little girl he saved from a gang a few months ago had already turned into an adult.

This was too unbelievable.

Before the Great Calamity, Marvin had taken Isabelle to the Assassin Alliance to cultivate her abilities, but he lost track of her.

He was too busy at the time and couldn't search for the missing girl.

He hadn't thought that she would receive the Winter Assassin's personal teachings.

Now that she was alone with Marvin, Isabelle didn't hide anything and had the Wisp come out.

The poor Winter Assassin not only helped out during the fight, but also exposed his current form to Marvin.

After all, a renowned Legend had been turned into a Wisp by a sinister Witch; that was a huge loss of face.

Fortunately, the Winter Assassin's mental fortitude was quite good. After all, he had been enduring for so many years.

And he was very fond of Isabelle, so at her wish, he shared many secrets with Marvin.

Marvin remained speechless for a long while after listening.

No wonder Isabelle grew up so quickly… It was a matter of time flow.

...

Time flow was a very wonderful concept.

Each plane's time flow was different. Marvin had mostly stayed in Feinan, so naturally, there would be differences.

But after Isabelle had been taken in by the Winter Assassin, they stayed in a special space to practice Assassin's techniques.

Even though only a few months passed in Feinan, she practiced for more than ten years in that space.

She now was a fine and elegant girl.

She was already very different from the child who had been begging for money to save her mother.

The only things that remained unchanged were that serene and dedicated temperament, and those two crimson eyes.

The symbol of the Hammons.

Marvin could only sigh at the wonders of the world as the two met there.

Marvin was quite fond of that small little girl. Maybe all the Hammons were like that. Marvin could see the shadow of that boy he fought alongside before.

Isabelle's current strength couldn't be overlooked.

Based on Marvin's estimations, her strength should certainly be top-tier in Feinan.

Along with the innate gift, Flicker, she simply had peak Assassin talents.

Even Marvin himself didn't dare say he could beat her.

Of course, she hadn't even fully shown her true strength here. And killing a Dream Guardian in three blows was definitely on the level of a Plane Guardian.

What had been most impactful in that fight was that suddenly spiking killing intent.

It was that alarmingly resolute will that instantly overwhelmed Swift's defenses and allowed Isabelle to kill him so easily.

And that killing intent didn't come from Isabelle herself.

Although her teacher, the Winter Assassin, had been turned into a Wisp by a Witch, making him lose most of his strength, he still kept his killing intent.

Releasing a bit in a fight was enough to deal with most enemies.

After listening to Isabelle's explanation, Marvin could only sigh at her

"main character

" build!

Carrying an ancestor with her, that was simply too overpowered.

After inwardly envying her for a moment, a big question popped into Marvin's mind.

"You used Flicker…

"

"Hold on, how much lifespan do you have left?

"

His expression became serious.

Isabelle smiled and assured,

"Enough to use.

"

Marvin frowned. Although Hammons were Innate Assassins, their gift came at a price.

Marvin had looked for water from a Fountain of Youth in order to increase Isabelle's lifespan.

Even now that she had advanced to Legend rank and her body was very powerful, her vitality still seemed very weak.

"Don't look at me like that. Kid.

" The Wisp muttered moodily,

"I keep trying to restrict her use of her innate abilities, but she doesn't listen to me.

"

"I already spent all I had to maintain her lifespan, but she always said that there was no need for a long life. If there was enough she would use it, what kind of logic is that?

"

Marvin looked at Isabelle and sincerely requested,

"Innate abilities, can you please not use them if you don't absolutely need them?

"

The Wisp disdainfully said,

"She won't listen to your advice.

"

But then, Isabelle agreed with a smile,

"Okay.

"

The Winter Assassin suddenly exploded!

...

Although meeting a friend in this place was a very gratifying event, Marvin didn't want to stay in the same place for too long.

The Dream Shrine had many people in the Hunting Ground. If that Wayn let go of his pride and took the initiative to look for the Cleric and those Paladins, then Marvin's side would likely face great difficulties.

Isabelle killed Swift by taking advantage of the Winter Assassin's power and her own innate abilities to catch him off-guard.

If he had been focused and less dismissive of her, Isabelle's attacks would have been less effective.

The two travelled together and quickly moved along.

With the Winter Assassin as a chatterbox, the trip wasn't lonely.

That person had already lost all his restraints. He didn't hide anything from Marvin and told everything he knew about this place.

"So you say you came here specifically for Cold Light's Grasps?

"

Marvin was a bit surprised. He originally thought that Isabelle had been dragged in like him, but it turned out that she had taken the initiative of entering the Wilderness Hall.

"Nothing I can do, who told that hateful Witch to say that the only way to remove her Witchcraft was to get hold of Cold Light's Grasps?

"

The Wisp seemed especially helpless as he muttered,

"Even if I'm very doubtful of the veracity of her words, who wouldn't try?

"

"Moreover, the daggers are a very powerful Artifact. I was able to ambush even Gods when I was at my peak thanks to this Artifact's strength. Isabelle needs weapons that suit her strength.

"

Marvin nodded.

But he had a strange feeling about the story.

How was this matter related to the Witches?

According to the Winter Assassin, a Witch snatched his Cold Light's Grasps one day and reached the Crimson Wasteland before leaving the Artifact in the Wilderness Hall.

As for the matter of the Winter Assassin being turned into a wisp by the Witch, it wasn't too clear.

It's just that the Witch very

"kindly

" left him an escape route.

When the Wilderness Hall came into being again because of some insiders, if he managed to get a hold of Cold Light's Grasps, her Witchcraft would be removed.

"Why did that Witch bring Cold Light's Grasps inside the Wilderness Hall?

" Marvin was a bit curious as he wondered aloud,

"Oh right, what was that Witch's name?

"

The Winter Assassin ground his teeth and spat out a name:

"Hathaway.

"
