Chapter 647: Behind the Gate

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

I am Marvin.

Not

"My name is Marvin

".

There was a significant difference between the two answers.

When that sentence came out, Kui immediately fell silent.

She obviously knew who Marvin was.

In fact, as long as someone was paying some modicum of attention to Feinan, they would know of that famous name, Marvin.

The impressive feat of killing Dark Phoenix dozens of times to prevent her from ascending to Godhood was enough to shock anyone.

Not to mention all the other incredible things he did.

The name Marvin had already spread throughout Feinan and even beyond.

After the Great Elven King and the rest of the Plane Guardians left, the name Marvin represented the peak power of Feinan.

To everyone, there was only one Marvin in this world of any significance.

White River Valley's Marvin.

Thus, Marvin answered in this way.

The Dark Elf understood.

No one would pretend to be Marvin at such a critical time, and furthermore, so convincingly.

The unreasonable fighting strength Marvin showed just now was in line with the rumors.

...

"I don't understand. The Underdark has no relationship with White River Valley. Why did you come here?

"

Kui finally managed to force this question out after remaining silent for a long time.

Although Marvin restrained his aura, the feat of killing four Jade Dragons so quickly was terrifying.

There was a formless pressure suppressing the Dark Elf.

Marvin shrugged.

"The Dark Specters aren't just enemies of the Underdark. They are the enemies of all of Feinan. I understand this point better than anyone else.

"

Kui frowned, not knowing what to say.

Her mind wasn't ready to trust surface dwellers. This was a deep-rooted feeling that had permeated the Underdark for over a millennium. It was very difficult to change.

But she couldn't find any proper reason to doubt Marvin.

She too knew that the Dark Specters were the enemy of all life.

Kui didn't feel the need to make any guesses about Jessica's identity. Since she had come here with Marvin, she was definitely another incredible powerhouse.

'Knowing that they are from the surface is enough.'

'We might still need to be careful if they manage to kill the Final Ghost Mother.'

After thinking through all this, Kui said,

"I won't tell the others.

"

"But you have to guarantee that you'll work with us before the Final Ghost Mother dies.

"

Marvin reassured her,

"I never had any hostility toward you.

"

Afterwards, he added with a smirk,

"In fact, if I really wanted to kill you… how many people do you think would be able to survive an ambush from us?

"

He didn't say anything further as he went toward the end of the ravine with Jessica.

Kui stiffened.

After a long time, she recovered with a jolt and hurriedly chased after them.

...

A few shadows appeared at the end of the ravine.

Both groups arrived at the same time.

"You are quite fast.

" Surprise showed in the eyes of the Fiendish Swordsman.

They had encountered four Jade Dragons, one of which was Jade Dragon King Aiken.

This meant that Marvin's side had six Jade Dragons.

The fact that both groups reached the end of the ravines at the same time meant that Marvin and Jessica were very powerful.

Although Kui was with them, the Fiendish Swordsman knew that her combat strength wasn't spectacular.

Marvin was also surprised.

He had been sure that his side would reach the copper gate first, but the Fiendish Swordsman's group hadn't been any slower than them.

Although the other group faced fewer Jade Dragons, they had to fight the Jade Dragon King!

Aiken had a much stronger body than the ordinary Jade Dragons. He had received the Night Monarch's blessing, and when he was at his peak, his fighting abilities even made the Black Dragon King afraid!

Under these circumstances, their group still managed to deal with Dragon King Aiken… The only explanation was that the two groups had similar levels of strength.

Fiendish Swordsman...

A detailed scene suddenly appeared in Marvin's mind.

The bundle on the Fiendish Swordsman's back opened and then closed.

'He used a sword.'

Jessica's voice echoed in Marvin's mind,

"That guy is very troublesome. The one he signed a contract with should be a very ancient creature.

"

Marvin inwardly agreed.

There was no doubt that the Fiendish Swordsman was immensely powerful.

Thus, as long as there was no in-fighting, they would have a much greater chance of success when fighting the Final Ghost Mother.

Both sides probed a bit for information, but after getting no results, they kept going forward.

Marvin walked at the forefront, and he could feel many gazes focused on him.

The most obvious ones were Kui and Freyr.

The former was probably due to shock after seeing Marvin's strength. After the two groups merged, she didn't say anything and just kept staring fixedly at Marvin, seeming to want to find out something about him.

As for the latter, who knew what he was thinking.

Despite being a Cleric of the Black Dragon God, he was actually having to work alongside Marvin!

That man had just destroyed the entire Black Dragon Wing Plane!

He also swallowed all the power from the Faith Pool in front of the Gods.

Although the rules of the God Realms didn't govern a mortal like him, that action definitely greatly offended the Gods!

In normal circumstances, Freyr should have given his all to fight Marvin.

But he realized that this would be a flop on both fronts. Now only would he be helpless against Marvin in a fight, but attacking Marvin would also be detrimental to his current mission.

The Black Dragon God had given him instructions to help the Underdark United Council put an end to the Final Ghost Mother and then use his influence to build a bigger church in the Underdark.

This was the assignment that he had to complete.

If he started a fight with Marvin, they likely wouldn't be able to take care of the Final Ghost Mother.

At that time, there would be no need to mention preaching. The entire Underdark might turn into a barren wasteland.

The pitiful Freyr was constantly praying to the Black Dragon God, praying for God to give him an order.

He was just a Cleric, and he didn't really know what to do.

But his prayers weren't answered.

Because his God was caught in a bitter struggle.

Their enemy was a terrifying Astral Beast that still worried the Gods even after the Artifact left behind by Lance took away half of its vitality!

...

While Freyr was in chaos, the group reached the end of the Ice Jade Palace.

A copper gate now appeared in front of them.

The Fiendish Swordsman revealed the key he took from the neck of Jade Dragon King Aiken and silently walked over.

The copper gate seemed very plain, and the locking mechanism was also very simple.

He inserted the key and turned it half a circle before hearing a clunking sound.

The Fiendish Swordsman gently pushed the gate, and it slowly swung open.

However, from behind the gate, an unexpected person appeared.
