[Ruler’s Wrath (Legendary Skill)]

[Description: User can freely regulate the size of his body, become huge like a giant or small like an ant. Limitations based on Constitution.]

In simple terms, this was an active size changing skill with no side effect.

But the skill was different from ordinary size changing skills. Using Ruler’s Wrath, Marvin could still keep his original overpowered attributes.

Imagine a hill sized giant with Godly Dexterity, this was an overwhelming destructive force to ordinary Legends.

And from another point of view, Marvin believed that just as his strength kept growing, so would his enemies keep getting more and more frightening.

These enemies wouldn’t necessarily be humans.

They might be the large bodied monsters from the Astral Plane.

Why were Dragons formidable? Why was the Mechanical Titan’s melee strength unequalled?

Most of them were huge monsters pressuring medium sized monsters thanks to their huge size.

Demon Lords, Archdevils, Evil Spirit Overlords, they all had avatars or doppelgangers able to enlarge themselves.

It was the same for Gods.

This was the important rationale why Marvin chose this ability.

In short, after acquiring Ruler’s Wrath, Marvin’s overall strength greatly increased.

If he wanted to deal with a Mist Dragon now, he might simply use Ruler’s Wrath, activate Diamond Shape and rely on his melee abilities to tear it apart.

…

On another corner of the snow field, the Paladin was startled by the fall of the Mist Dragon.

Griffin was shocked. He hadn’t thought that this young Ranger had such frightening blade techniques and burst power.

He had made such a strong first impression after brandishing his daggers. At that time, the Paladin still believed that Marvin was a Great Druid with a Ranger subclass, with fairly good blade techniques.

Yet there was someone even more shocked.

The atmosphere of imminent battle at the bottom of the mountain instantly disappeared.

That green clothed woman startledly looked at that bloody mist halfway up the mountain with visible anger in her eyes.

In fact, Bone Dragon Claudy was her master’s, Lich Bandel’s, pet. Her pet was that Mist Dragon.

She had an instant reaction upon the Mist Dragon’s death.

She simply hadn’t thought that the two would deal with the Mist Dragon in such a short time!

Wasn’t that too quick?

Marvin’s power completely wrecked the woman’s scheme. She originally planned to use the Mist Dragon to block the two while her and the Bone Dragon would take care of that group of four adventurers before joining up with the Mist Dragon and deal with the two remaining aggressors.

As a result, there was a hitch in the plan.

She gravely underestimated Marvin’s strength!

It resulted in her current awkward situation. Due to Lich Bandel’s command, she had to stop everyone who got too close to the snow mountain!

Regardless who it was, they had to stop them at all cost.

But that plan wouldn’t work now.

Because there seemed to be a problem with the Two Headed Bone Dragon!

This sinister and frightening Bone Dragon was emitting some clattering sounds while looking at the Truth Scale halfway up the mountain!

After being in contact with it for a long time, she naturally understood that it was actually scared!

That Paladin wasn’t simple. His Truth Scale had a powerful restraining effect on the Bone Dragon!

Although Claudy was subdued by Bandel, he hadn’t reached the stage of being willing to die for him.

Next second, the Bone Dragon raised his heads and chanted in Draconic. A great amount of fog appeared and he instantly vanished.

The woman clenched her teeth before following suit.

She couldn’t beat those six people by herself, much less with Marvin and Griffin, those troublesome existences.

Bandel’s goal was to stop the Regis Ruins from being discovered. His barrier should be hidden enough and now only these few people could get past.

…

Marvin and Griffin weren’t aware of what happened down there.

They only saw the Two Headed Bone Dragon disappearing as well as a supposed Legend woman in a green dress leaving shortly after.

“That Bone Dragon seems to be quite scared of your Truth Scale.”

Marvin tidied himself up and slowly walked over.

Griffin looked at Marvin with newfound respect, “Your blade techniques are very powerful. I haven’t seen such a fierce explosive power in a long time.”

As for the four adventurers under the mountain, they stood there awkwardly, as if they had been granted amnesty.

The two men didn’t bother with them.

Griffin simply wanted to cross the mountain and Marvin also wanted to reach Holy Light City. With the obstacles disappearing, the two also kept going forward.

Without the Mist Dragon and the snowstorm blocking them, the two Legend powerhouses’ pace was very quick.

They soon reached the summit of the mountain!

Looking down from the summit, they saw an imposing city in the distance.

Clouds were below their feet, but Marvin straightened his back and was able to see through that barrier covering that city on the plain.

Some hot air balloons were flying above the city, and a group of Wizard Towers in the east seemed especially eye-catching.

Familiar God’s symbols fell into Marvin’s eyes.

Holy Light City.

The reason why that city was called [Holy Light] was because this used to be one of the strongholds of the Gods.

It was different from a city controlled by a shrine, Holy Light City was a city with multiple forces.

That place was filled with God Shrines, followers and Divine Servants.

It was also the reason why Paladin Griffin had hope of removing the girl’s curse in Holy Light City.

This city’s waters ran deep. Marvin reminded himself that he couldn’t expose his identity.

He incurred the hatred of quite a few Gods back in Feinan.

If his identity was revealed in the Crimson Wasteland, who knows how many Divine Servants would chase after him!

…

Under the snow mountain was an endless black forest, with a flaming red path in the middle.

That path was an extension of Torch Valley, able to guide the adventurers to avoid the evil lifeforms in the black forest.

Marvin learnt from Eisengel’s map that this black forest was home to many evil lifeforms. Moreover, these evil lifeforms weren’t naturally formed, they were actually the products of the Regis’ caster group’s failed experiments.

In some unknown corner of the black forest were supposedly the Regis Ruins, representing the most dangerous area of the black forest.

The Regis organization was said to have a secret relation to Miss Silvermoon. She had fallen just when a great amount of evil lifeforms appeared in the Regis Ruins.

People guessed that these two matters were somehow connected.

Marvin had no interest in Miss Silvermoon, and although he felt like getting a hold of Cold Light’s Grasps, he still had no clue to follow at the moment.

The Mist Dragon and the green clothed Legend Wizard that appeared earlier seemed to indicate something.

But there were too few clues, and it was hard to analyze even for the current Marvin.

“Let’s go. Holy Light City isn’t far.” Marvin said in a low voice.

Griffin nodded, his eyes were at loss, but when he turned to look at the little girl on his back, he found his resolve once again.

Marvin inwardly sighed.

He had quite a good impression of that Paladin.

He naturally knew what Griffin was worried about.

Holy Light City’s waters indeed ran deep. Although there might really be a Divine Servant or Apostle able to remove the girl’s curse, everything had a price.

He believed in the God of Truth, and the latter had fallen.

To those Gods, such a powerful Paladin was worth recruiting.

Those Gods had quite a few means to change his faith without detriment to his strength. The condition was his willingness.

If he really wanted to remove the girl’s curse on this trip, the difficulties this Paladin would face would be very grim.

Unfortunately, Marvin himself couldn’t help.

If it was Mother of Creation, she might still have a way, but Marvin was unable to provide help.

Moreover, the two were strangers, they might never meet again in this life.

It was useless to muse too much.

Thinking of this, Marvin couldn’t help speeding up.

Soon, the two safely arrived at the flaming path at the foot of the mountain.

At the other end of that path was Holy Light City.

But Marvin suddenly stopped.

“What is it?” Griffin asked, somewhat startled.

A smile appeared at the corner of Marvin’s mouth, but he soon shook his head, “Nothing.”

The two kept going forward.

After five minutes, they exited the black forest.

Griffin was about to say something, but that Ranger who walked beside him suddenly turned into a Paper Clone!

“See you again if fate allows it, Paladin.” The Paper Clone said with a smile.

The Paper Clone was shattered in the wind.

Griffin thoughtfully turned to look at the black forest, apparently understanding something.

“May we meet if we are fated.” He briefly bowed his head and kept going forward with the girl on his back.

…

Five minutes earlier, Marvin found something interesting on the edge of the path.

Someone was spying on them.

It looked like he didn’t make any move, but he actually secretly used Shadow Doppelganger and Paper Clone Substitution to switch with and hide himself.

His body was hidden in the [Eternal Night Seal] and taking advantage of the peeper’s carelessness he easily escaped into the black forest.

‘So it was her.’

‘It looked like she didn’t mind us going through here.’

‘So… What was her goal earlier?’

Marvin hid in the darkness and was able to clearly look at the person spying on him.

It was that green clothed woman.

Her body had clear temptress’ characteristics.

Marvin recognized that race, it should be a Jade Banshee.

Jade Banshees were rare, but had very high casting talent.

If not for Marvin’s stealth being so powerful, high enough to deceive a Heaven Observer, he might have already been discovered.

‘Eh? Where is she going?’

Seeing the Jade Banshee disappear in the depths of the black forest, Marvin couldn’t help but follow her.
