Chapter 517: Pursuit!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

‘Who is it?’

Marvin immediately closed his eyes and used Earth Perception.

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

Not far away, two black-clothed men were watching him coldly.

Marvin could feel the killing intent they were barely concealing!

The Dream Shrine’s people!

Marvin abruptly opened his eyes.

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

‘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.’

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

‘As long as they had enough contributions, they could be promoted to Divine Servants.’

Marvin 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.

Some Divine Guardians were even stronger than Divine Servants.

The 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.

The 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.

It was generally believed that the Dream God had the ability to control people’s dreams.

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

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

He 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.

This was something Marvin could confirm from Ambella’s approach.

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

But in Marvin’s eyes, that olive branch was a kind of a threat.

From 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.

‘An interplanar pursuit, that Ambella is truly decisive.’

Marvin couldn’t help but hold that woman in high regard.

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

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

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

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

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

An ordinary Legend powerhouse was simply not worth their attention.

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

Of course, it was too much for Marvin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

‘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.’

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

‘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.’

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

“He found us. That kid is quite vigilant.”

Swift smiled as he watched Marvin’s wild escape, the ridicule apparent in his eyes. “This hunt is becoming interesting.”

“Don’t be careless.” Wayn remained calm as he stood to the side. “Someone held in high esteem by Ambella must have some abilities.”

A strange expression flickered in Swift’s eyes as he muttered dismissively, “Oh? I’ll ask what abilities he has after killing him.”

He then disappeared.

Wayn shook his head helplessly and silently followed.

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

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

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

Marvin could only choose to leave the city.

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

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

Because 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.

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

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

On 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.

They had experience and were able to lock onto Marvin’s main body.

It was hard for him.

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

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

This was the confidence of a hunter.

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

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

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

Only an expert like O’Brien might be able to contend with them.

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

One 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.

‘Troublesome Ambella.’

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

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

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

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

They 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.

‘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?’

This 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.

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

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

He instinctively reacted at that instant.

Burst! Shadow Step!

“Woosh!”

A tearing sound echoed as a shallow hole appeared on Marvin’s waist!

Drops of blood flowed down.

Marvin’s face became serious.

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

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

It 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!

It was a Blade Demon!

The two Dream Guardians behind Marvin also stopped.

Two south, one north, the Dream Guardians and the Demon blocked Marvin’s path.

“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.”

Swift derided, “You are about to die and you can still speak nonsense?”

“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.”

The Blade Demon remained silent, only staring at Marvin.

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

That guy was also a very frightening enemy!

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

He rolled his eyes as he quipped, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you settle the old grudge first?”

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

Swift sneered, “Scheming weakling.”

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

“Swish!”

Before 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!

Its speed was unfathomable!

Even Marvin found parrying difficult.

“Klang!”

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

But a fierce pain shot through his wrist!

‘Fuck! So strong!’

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