Night Ranger

Chapter 545: Delay

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Between the boundaries of the planes, two powerful existences were facing each other.

"Faniya, you should be clear about the meaning of your actions!"

"You are provoking the Underworld as a representative of the Gods!" the deep voice warned from behind the large palm.

The glow of the moonlight was faint, but it carried enormous power.

"I do not represent the Gods. This is merely a private matter."

"If the Underworld wants to interfere, then I won't mind recreating the savage war from those years once more."

The Moon Goddess' voice was very gentle, but it was awe-inspiring!

She was a very low-key God, to the point that people sometimes forgot how powerful she was!

The owner of the large palm remained silent at the thinly veiled threat.

After some time, he slowly muttered, "You won't get the result you want. You should know that."

"You boast that you can understand everything, but you are unable to alter that "everything". This is the greatest sorrow of the Gods."

After saying this, the large palm disappeared, leaving only an echo behind. "Faniya, the savage fight really will happen again, but this time, we won't lose."

...

In the Regis Ruins.

Bandel was filled with joy!

Even if they were standing far away, Marvin and the others could also sense the fluctuations in the Lich's mind becoming extremely intense!

In theory, Liches didn't have feelings.

But sometimes, emotions couldn't be defined by theories.

He had worked so hard for so many years, by fair means or foul. Maybe it couldn't be said to be love anymore... maybe it had already become only an obsession.

Regardless of what it was, it truly existed.

"Luna…"

Bandel seemed to have lost his ability to speak properly, only repeating that name again and again.

Miss Silvermoon woke up and gave him a gentle smile.

But then, her expression turned extremely sinister and she thrust both hands into the Lich's skull!

As the Lich howled, Marvin and the others discovered in shock that there was a scarlet barb behind Miss Silvermoon!

"You aren't her!" Bandel howled mournfully.

Miss Silvermoon's hand grabbed his soul fire from inside his skull!

A familiar voice came out of her mouth. "Of course I'm not her."

"That pitiful little thing? Her soul is far too weak, how could it deserve such a perfect resurrected body?"

"Dear Bandel, you really did as you promised, Teacher is very satisfied by your actions!"

The Wilderness God!

Everyone wanted to act, but it was already too late!

"Master!"

The Jade Banshee pounced over as if her life depended on it, but a crimson ivy slammed into her and sent her flying!

As for the Two-Headed Bone Dragon, he was observing the situation. Faced with the power of the Wilderness God, he shivered and knelt on the ground.

"How could this happen?!"

Marvin was shocked.

The Life and Death array had already been completed, and Miss Silvermoon was at the Life position. How could the Wilderness God have resurrected?

How did he get into Miss Silvermoon's body?

"Just now." Hathaway had a complicated expression.

She pointed at the remains of the Sacrifice location.

Only a mess remained there. The Wilderness God's blood had already disappeared.

It must have happened in an instant!

'When Moon Goddess Faniya had to block the palm stretching out from the Underworld, Miss Silvermoon's soul successfully returned to her body,' Marvin thought to himself.

'It's absurd that he was able to find a way to take control of her body in such a short time!'

But that was the only possible explanation.

"Molly, you just said that something bad would happen, were you referring to this?" Marvin hurriedly asked.

Molly looked blankly at Marvin, nodded for a bit, and then shook her head.

Ultimately, the little girl pulled Marvin's hand. "I am very scared."

Marvin took a deep breath and reassured, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

At that time, he was overworking his brain, thinking about the possibilities.

The Wilderness God indeed managed to occupy the body of Miss Silvermoon somehow, but this wasn't a true resurrection!

The soul of Miss Silvermoon had been dissipated for many years and was in an extremely fragile state.

Any God at full strength would have been able to directly drive the Wilderness God away from their body.

The only one able to salvage the situation was Moon Goddess Faniya!

But she was now facing an Underworld Sovereign at the edge of the planes' boundaries!

"We only need to delay for a bit!" Marvin told Hathaway. "Help me look after her!"

He then disappeared like a shadow and charged toward Miss Silvermoon!

Hathaway froze, with an angry expression appearing on her face. "Making me babysit?"

She squinted her eyes as she looked around, and Minsk, who was on the side, suddenly shivered!

"Help me look after her!" Hathaway glanced fiercely at Minsk, before charging over!

Molly looked at Minsk timidly.

The latter forced a smile, patting Molly's head, unable to say a word.

...

Marvin was like lightning, immediately approaching "Miss Silvermoon".

He could clearly feel that the Lich's almost depleted lifeforce was gradually being absorbed by the Wilderness God!

Although he didn't really care about the Lich, stopping the Wilderness God from recovering was most important.

If they let him merge with that resurrected Divine Body, it would be a disaster!

Marvin recklessly used the power from his advanced Divine Vessel!

[Domain – Shadow], activated!

[Domain – Slaughter], activated!

Along with the still active Plant Metamorphosis, the three Domains were activated, giving him a kind of Divine aura!

He ignored the Life and Death array and spun around, ruthlessly kicked Bandel's skull!

The pitiful Lich was kicked away by Marvin!

That spinning kick only used the strength in Marvin's body. But with the Domains' bonuses, the power exerted was frightening.

Even the Wilderness God was caught off guard and couldn't stop him.

The skull was kicked flying and crashed into the crumbling wall of a nearby Wizard Tower.

Marvin's move actually saved Bandel's life!

His soul fire was stored in his skull. Even if his body fell apart, he would just have to find some bones to reconstruct it.

As long as his phylactery remained intact and his soul fire wasn't extinguished, it would be very difficult for a Lich to die.

Marvin was stopping the Wilderness God from gathering more energy!

"You dare stop me!" The Wilderness God, using Miss Silvermoon's appearance, was brimming with an evil aura. The ivy behind suddenly opened up, looking like a frightening Crimson Spider!

"Step aside!" Hathaway angrily shouted.

Marvin suddenly felt a very powerful energy at them from behind him!

'Damn! Only so little time to react?'

'Can't you coordinate properly?'

But there was no time to complain. Just before he would have gotten blasted, Marvin used Eternal Night Seal and sealed himself in!

Then, an ash-gray storm erupted out of nowhere. The immense force tore at and compressed Miss Silvermoon's body.

[Witchcraft – Ashes]!
