Night Ranger

Chapter 518: Wilderness

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

With a tiger in front and wolves behind, Marvin could only stake it all.

He used [Ruler's Wrath] and greatly increased his size to the limits.

But none of them expected that just before the fight broke out, a singing voice would suddenly echo north of Holy Light City.

The voice was ancient and desolate, the words very indistinct, but any listener could feel the sorrow!

Everyone was shocked when they heard the voice.

Because an imposing, grand temple appeared at the same time!

Far to the east, that temple was standing tall.

All the buildings visible in the endless plains disappeared, only leaving behind that temple standing there silently.

The red bricks covering the outside gave the temple a sinister, bloody feeling.

A lot of weeds surrounded the temple but didn't cover it, as if they were escorting the temple.

Everyone felt cold.

It seemed like a mysterious force was silently overlooking them.

...

"Heavens… The rumors were real, the Wilderness Hall really appeared…"

Fear flashed across Wayn's face.

As someone from the Gods' side, he naturally knew a lot concerning the Wilderness God.

Even in the Dream God Realm, the Wilderness God was a name that made people's expressions worsen when brought up.

It was said that in the distant past, he was a very frightening Evil God.

He was very strange and managed to escape Lance's chase multiple times, tenaciously surviving in the Universe, eyeing every lifeform like a tiger watching its prey.

The Wilderness Hall was one of the most frightening areas of the Crimson Wasteland.

Even though it hadn't appeared for a long time and was gradually forgotten, when it reappeared, it gave a kind of profound intimidation that couldn't be averted.

Even that Blade Demon who ignored everything and was only focused on its killing order was also intimidated by that building.

It remained motionless, mumbling. Marvin couldn't make sense of what it was saying.

Marvin looked at his interface. His body felt frozen and stiff, but the source was actually an unclear willpower check.

"Is it really the Wilderness Hall?"

He heard the two Dream Guardians begin to discuss.

That very aggressive Dream Guardian's expression also changed.

Swift was looking at that building in the distance with a pale face, his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of cowardice. "It's said that every person who looks at the Wilderness Hall will be swallowed by it."

"Fuck this, why is our luck so terrible?"

"What's with that singing voice? Is it the Ancient God Language? Why can't we understand?"

'Even the Dream Guardians can't understand?' Marvin thought.

As aspiring Dream Servants, they were definitely proficient in the God Language, but the Ancient God Language was an even more profound language.

The Gods only called it the Ancient God Language to flaunt themselves. That language was said to be the common language of the most ancient lifeforms.

This included the first Demons, Devils, Evil Spirits, Gods...

Marvin suddenly felt that the language was a bit familiar.

'That's… when I met the Archdevil Head for the first time…'

'That wasn't a willpower check illusion? Could it be that it was real? Or it had a certain predictive nature?'

Marvin froze, recalling that scene when he discovered the Archdevil Head in the secret area.

Although he already understood that that head was an alchemy item made by his grandfather, it did hold some of the Archdevil's secrets inside.

He remembered the scene, with countless humanoid yet inhuman lifeforms revolving around a bonfire while copulating. The pale little girl's blood sacrifice, the huge axe cutting open her aide… and time ultimately swallowing everything with every lifeform turning into bones.

And when he saw all that, that language had been lingering around his ears.

He thought it was the Anzed Language at first, but he found out afterwards that the language was different from the Anzed Language.

The Anzed were the first Humans to tread on Feinan, so it was understandable that their language was similar to the Ancient God Language.

But why did that language carry such formidable Magic Power?

Marvin was almost certain that it was due to that language that everyone was frozen stiff.

He had already become a Ruler of the Night and all his Resistances were very high. The Dream Guardians also had frighteningly high Resistances, but they were still controlled by that voice too.

The four people from different planes all wanted to escape the singing voice.

But it was already too late.

In this horrifying atmosphere, they found out that they had shockingly lost control of their own bodies.

They all turned toward the east!

They used all their strength but couldn't break free from whatever was moving their bodies. They were like puppets controlled by someone, walking step by step toward the abyss!

A thick fog suddenly rose up in the wilderness.

The singing voice became clearer.

Marvin already lost sight of Holy Light City and could see the shadows appearing in the distance. These people were like his group of four, their faces filled with fear.

They couldn't even speak!

A mysterious force was controlling at least 30 Legends and making them walk slowly toward the east.

And the Wilderness Hall was like the open bloody mouth of an ancient giant creature, preparing to devour them.

Everything was peaceful.

All noises were blocked, and only the singing voice remained.

Marvin suppressed his own fear and started observing his surroundings.

But, strangely enough, they seemed too dull.

Apart from the "puppets" and the temple, there was nothing abnormal in the surroundings.

His perception was weakened to the extreme, making him feel like he was half-blind.

'Damnit!'

He used all kinds of methods but was unable to remove this state.

This was really too frightening!

Wasn't it said that the Wilderness God had already died?

Why would the Wilderness Hall appear once again?

Why would this nightmarish singing voice echo once again?

Marvin ground his teeth, but he suddenly realized what the voice was singing. This was the same song he heard when he went through the secret tunnel back when his territory had been invaded by Gnolls.

Due to the similarity to the Anzed Language, and his Noble class, he had understood the literal meaning of the song in the tunnel!

"One flower, two flowers, tonight the devil won't return home."

"Hating the rain falling, hating the thunder rumbling, I sit in the well, weeping."

"Dressed in white for a celebration, dressed in black for a funeral, midnight bell has yet to stop ringing."

"The deceased, has yet to die."

...

The four sentences were repeated again and again.

The voice sometimes sounded like a male's, sometimes like a female's, and was extremely terrifying.

In this strange atmosphere, the Legend powerhouses were full of fright as they slowly advanced toward the Wilderness Hall!

No one knew what awaited them!
