Night Ranger

As a low chanting sound permeated the hall, countless Ghosts let out their grievances from within the Human Skin Candles.

But they were trapped inside the Human skin that the candles were made from.

The flames were burning very slowly.

The Azure Matriarch was kneeling in front of that statue piously with a dagger gripped in her hand.

The overwhelmed girl shrieked as she struggled, but an invisible power seemed to bind her body.

Her body bent backward and slowly started floating in the air before ultimately stopping in front of the statue.

At that instant, all the runes on her body exploded!

The girl was badly mutilated!

But she didn’t die!

These were only relatively superficial wounds compared to what they could have been.

Marvin could see that the runes had only been marked on the surface of her body.

Even if the skin was damaged, and not just lightly, her vitality was still there!

But at this rate, she would soon bleed out and die!

Marvin put his all into getting to her!

The advanced False Divine Vessel power ignored all Laws!

At the same time, because of the Azure Matriarch’s ritual, a portion of the sealing power was diverted.

The pressure on Marvin’s body lessened considerably.

These two effects combined to allow him to speed up again.

But at this time, the Azure Matriarch completed her chant!

Her eyes were shining crimson and a cold light flashed from the dagger in her hand!

She lifted the dagger high up before ruthlessly piercing down!

The suffering girl closed her eyes at the sight of the dagger descending upon her.

During this matter of life and death, Marvin burst out with all his strength!

The sealing power had receded to the statue in the fountain.

Endless Path was fully active!

Marvin disregarded everything else and even used his meager Fate Power.

A shadow flashed and the girl’s bloody body disappeared from before the Azure Matriarch.

The dagger struck nothing!

Outside the formation of Human Skin Candles, Marvin coldly looked back the Azure Matriarch kneeling on the ground.

He was carrying that confused girl in his arms. She had already fainted, perhaps due to pain or panic.

He could feel her body shivering.

This contempt towards life, this willingness to harm innocents, this was something that Marvin loathed.

He watched the Azure Matriarch, taking precautions against possible retaliation.

But the Azure Matriarch didn’t seem too upset at Marvin for snatching the Final Sacrifice.

She slowly raised her head and exposed a strange smile. ”Marvin, you are overestimating yourself.”

”You can’t stop the World Ending Twin Snakes from appearing today!”

As these words came out, Marvin felt something wrong.

A feeling of crisis burst from the bottom of his heart!

He lowered his head and saw that the girl in his arms had turned into a frightening viper!

”Sssss!”

The fangs ruthlessly bit Marvin’s neck!

They were too close, and he hadn’t considered her a threat. Marvin couldn’t dodge the sneak attack!

But the viper didn’t succeed either!

The sharp fangs bit into a shining layer!

Shapeshift Sorcerer – Diamond Shape!

Marvin had instantly activated this ability from his Boundless Shapeshifting specialty to resist the blow. The aftereffects of this Shape had gradually become less severe as his strength improved, so it was more and more worth using in such situations.

And that viper’s strength was actually quite ordinary.

But Marvin’s strength had been suppressed by the seal, and the Azure Matriarch had carefully set all of this up.

After activating Diamond Shape, Marvin quickly cut the viper into pieces!

But it was already too late.

He already couldn’t stop the Azure Matriarch from offering a sacrifice.

When Marvin lifted his head to look at what was happening near the statue, he saw the Azure Matriarch still kneeling.

The dagger in her hand was lifted high up once more before quickly falling down and penetrating her own heart!

Blood slowly flowed down, blending with the ground.

The ghosts in the Human Skin Candles howled with grief.

Marvin was distressed, shaking his head.

He had miscalculated.

As it turned out, the Azure Matriarch was actually offering herself!

More and more blood flowed down, followed by all the sealing power in the hall being completely destroyed!

Even Marvin could only be shoved away!

And in the darkness, those countless monsters bellowed, charging toward Marvin!

Thankfully, Marvin was very nimble and could keep from getting hurt by them.

”How could the blood of a mortal awaken the true power of the World Ending Twin Snakes?”

The voice of the Azure Matriarch came out from the array.

Her voice was dripping with ridicule as she taunted, ”You want to save everyone, but you’ll end up being unable to save anyone.”

”You are screwed, Marvin.”

After saying these, her body fell forward, and her voice was never to be heard again.

Marvin could feel that these ghosts were madly absorbing her vitality!

And a great amount of blood flowed into the fountain!

The blood kept surging, spurting high up!

The crimson liquid spilled over the statue, filling its cracks with red liquid.

This blood seemed to have magical power, nourishing their bodies.

Marvin could clearly see that the two former statues were quickly recovering from their petrified state to a living state!

In the end, the World Ending Twin Snakes were able to recover!

Marvin didn’t leave yet!

There was only one reason that he was still here: he wanted to see if he could get rid of these two monsters right as they were resurrecting!

This was a very daunting challenge, and Marvin might even pay with his life.

But he still wanted to give it a try.

After all, in a way, if he hadn’t taken the Fate Tablet, and instead had found a way to keep anyone else from getting it, the World Ending Twin Snakes might have never been able to escape their cage!

He relied on his outstanding Dexterity to wander between the monsters, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

And these monsters also seemed content with what they had gained as the World Ending Twin Snakes were coming back. They didn’t actually chase Marvin, but rather closely circled around the edges of the hall.

One minute later.

The thin blood in the fountain dried up.

All the blood had entered the statue.

An aged aura spread from the bodies of the couple.

’Now!’

Marvin’s perception alerted him!

He unhesitantly attacked!

Night Beheading!

Sodom’s Blades were unsheathed and a cold light flashed as the blades aiming down at them!

But suddenly, the woman opened her eyes.

There were no pupils in her eyes. They were just a pure, cold white!

With just a glance, Marvin felt as if he been frozen!

Sodom’s Blades initially still continued slashing down, but they were diverted by some powerful force.

Following suit with the woman, the man opened his eyes.

He sneered at Marvin.

Marvin couldn’t react before a heavy fist slammed into his abdomen, sending him flying away like a broken kite as he spat up blood!

At this instant, the monsters of the Ethereal Plane all bellowed!

The resurrection of the World Ending Twin Snakes shook the entire Universe!
