nTranslator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

nThe two cautiously walked toward the Holy Grail’s location.

nThey stayed focused and kept a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow.

nThey weren’t idiots; this might be Marvin’s trap, all calculated.

nThey arrived in front of a bush without meeting any dangers on the way.

nThis kind of situation made them feel that something was wrong.

n

"According to the map, that Holy Grail should be hidden in front of us.

"

nThe guardian took a look at the map before closing it and firmly holding his shield.

n

"Hiding in the bush?

" White sneered.

nHe naturally knew of the signature ranger skill, Hide.

nBut he still needed to use detection to make sure!

nHe didn’t move and used a magic ring!

nDetect Life!

nThe next instant, an extremely small red dot appeared in his sight.

nThis meant that there was one living creature in the bush that could threaten them!

n‘It should be that level 5 ranger.’

n

"He shouldn’t have guessed that we were in the surroundings. A rest is indeed required after such a long run.

n

"This is such a great opportunity to kill him first, and then we can kill his brother!

" White showed a hint of a cruel smile.

nHe then took out a magic staff and began chanting!

n1st-circle spell, Hand of the Fire God!

nThick smoke spread out as the raging fire ignited the bush, spreading quickly. A fire spell indeed.

nWhite coldly watched the bush. ‘That kind of conflagration is enough to force him out, right?’

nThe killing would then follow.

nHe knew that there were a lot of people watching the match through special magic screens.

nHis method might be a bit cruel, but he didn’t care.

nHe had been holding back his anger these past few days. He must kill these brothers to vent!

nBut he soon felt that something was wrong.

nWhy was there no reaction after the bush caught on fire?

n‘There is an issue?’ White reacted extremely quickly, suddenly taking a step back.

nThe guardian’s timing was extremely on point. He directly rushed forward.

nAt this time, the earth slightly trembled, and a sharp shriek could be heard from the bush!

n

"Fuck!

" White cursed.

nA huge head could be seen rushing out of the fire, its long tongue lashing about!.

n...

nThe audience was in absolute silence.

nIn fact, they had started scolding him in their hearts when Marvin started his plan!

nThis Baron Marvin was very vicious, wasn’t he?

nHe had actually tied the Holy Grail to a rabbit, and then thrown that pitiful rabbit to a huge monster!

nSpecifically, a very large boa resting in a bush by the waterside!

nWhen he found it, his brain immediately thought of this plan.

nWaiting for an opportunity? Impossible.

nWhite had overlooked this, or maybe this was because he didn’t have any better choice; they were slower after all! As long as the Holy Grail was in Marvin’s hand, he had the initiative.

nMarvin fully making use of this initiative was the same as waiting for an opportunity!

nAfter the boa had woken and swallowed the rabbit, he lazily laid down in the bush.

nThis beast looked a bit sleepy.

nAnd when White and his man rushed, Marvin had already hidden himself.

n‘Whether it’s detect life or another detection spell, they would all detect on the same plane, at the same height as the caster!’

n‘However, 2nd rank spells could do a spatial scan. Unfortunately for him, he hadn’t ranked up yet!’

nMarvin calmly watched from above.

nHe was now hiding on the highest branch of a big tree, with the help of his Hide skill.

nWhite hadn’t noticed that Marvin had in fact hidden himself above his own head!

nThis was the second mistake. This mistake was especially deadly.

nHe might not have any more time to pay attention to this because of the large forest boa rushing toward them.

nThe large forest boa was very fast!

nIt weighed at least 5 tons!

nThus, even if it was only a 1st rank monster, with its build and his speed, the impact wouldn’t be something an ordinary class holder would be able to take on.

nBut a guardian could!

n...

n

"We kill it!

" White bellowed.

nHe knew he had fallen into a trap, but there was nothing he could do about it.

nThey had already angered this large forest boa by putting his resting place on fire. It was definitely angry, and probably nearly crazy with fury.

nHe also didn’t know how Marvin hid the Holy Grail in the large forest boa’s belly!

nHe was sure Marvin was in the vicinity, waiting for a chance to attack!

nBut they had no other way. They had to take care of the large forest boa first!

n

"I’ll block it!

" The guardian firmly said.

nHe then erected his shield and shouted.

nIron Bastion¹!

n1st rank guardian’s most powerful skill!

nHis whole body seemed to turn into a fort, and a weird light emerged on his shield!

n

"Bang!

"

nThe large forest boa’s head ruthlessly knocked into the guardian’s shield.

n

"Ahah!

"

nThe shield was slightly bent.

n‘Good shield,’ Marvin thought, surprised.

nWorthy of someone from the Unicorn clan, truly wealthy. This shield’s quality was actually very good. If it was an adventurer’s, it would have broken down from the boa’s charge!

nDespite this, it was still hard to take for the guardian. He stumbled back two steps, the arm holding the shield apparently going limp.

n‘A fracture.’ Marvin noticed the weak point.

n‘It’s about time.’

n...

nSsss!

nAfter being blocked by the guardian’s Iron Bastion, the forest boa was also a little stunned.

nIt flicked its tongue, about to launch its second attack.

nBut at this time, a very accurate Ray of Frost ruthlessly pierced the boa’s forked tongue!

nTiny holes appeared on the large boa’s tongue. But that wasn’t all; its tongue began freezing, before it was finally covered in a layer of frost!

nIt painfully moved in circle, apparently losing its sense of direction!

nThe guardian let out a sigh of relief while White was coldly looking at that large forest boa.

nHe was the 13th heir of the Unicorn clan. He wasn’t a fool!

nAs long as it was still of the first rank, a snake’s tongue was the most important organ as it was used to perceive the surroundings.

nIt would lock onto an enemy by sensing the changes in temperature and odor.

nOnly upon reaching 2nd rank would infrared vision or spiritual awareness skills be gained. A powerful large boa at first rank would completely lose its sense of direction once its tongue was frozen!

n...

nThe audience couldn’t help but have a whole new level of respect for White when they saw this scene.

nThis boy was very smart. His ability to adapt to the unexpected was very worthy of praise.

nBut they then instantly began to worry about this Unicorn clan’s heir!

nBecause that vicious Marvin was about to make his move!

n...

nWhite’s critical hit made the large forest boa lose its sense of direction. At that instant, the guardian let out a sigh of relief.

nBut in that split second, Marvin made his move.

nHe directly jumped from the top of the tree!

nThe audience was startled. Jumping from this height, even if he didn’t die, he would still surely break his legs!

nOnly those with excellent eyesight noticed the rope tied to Marvin’s body!

nWishful Rope!

nMarvin’s body fell at great speed, without making a sound. He fell in an instant, dropping behind the guardian!

nHis jump was extremely accurate. White’s eyes widened, caught unprepared!

nHe hadn’t expected Marvin to appear like this.

nWhen he noticed Marvin, it was already too late.

nThe guardian only had one weak point and it was the back of the neck.

nHe had unknowingly revealed exposed the back of his neck earlier when he was withstanding the large forest boa’s attack.

nOnce the effects of the Iron Bastion wore off, he became somewhat weak.

nThis was a big flaw. Marvin instantly made a decision when he noticed that and then made his move.

nThis required the ability to grasp the opportunity and decisively act!

nFang unsheathed! A cold ray of light!

n

"Slash!

"

nThis slash directly cut the back of the guardian’s neck!

n

"Die!

" White shouted.

nHe aimed his magic staff at Marvin.

nHowever, not waiting for Marvin to land, the wishful rope suddenly began to shrink. As he chanted the incantation, he was brought back to the top of the tree in an instant.

nThe top of the tree was out of range of magic spells.

nWhite angrily stomped his feet, eyes wide from anger.

nThe guardian collapsed. He was wearing a stunned expression under his helmet.

nHe didn’t even know how he died!

nUp till now, Marvin had only used his daggers once.

n...

nThe audience was speechless. This move was too exquisite. It didn’t look like a move a 14 year old could make.

nIt would be too far-fetched to call it a lucky strike.

nThe guardian died, only White was left.

nAfter Marvin returned to the top of the tree, he untied the rope and made some nimble jumps between trees, hidden from White’s view.

nThe large forest boa was still moving in circles.

nThe fight was not over.

nWhite calmed down.
