Chapter 664: Divine Shackles
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
Wayne's strange state made Marvin very worried.
But he knew that it was definitely not the time to hold back.
The opponent certainly hadn't held back with that massive blast of Arcane Energy.
He didn't know when it had appeared, but Marvin noticed a strange Soul Imprint in Wayne's body.
He hadn't noticed this imprint back in White River Valley.
From Isabelle's description, Wayne had been very normal while in White River Valley, up until something weird happened as he got closer to the Sky Tower.
Before that, she hadn't noticed anything wrong.
The only possibility was that the person doing this wasn't Wayne at all!
'Could he have been switched by someone stealthily? No way, right?'
'Or could it be possession?"
Marvin felt like the possibility of the latter was a lot bigger.
After all, there were countless powerhouses who had come to Sky Tower this time, and there was definitely a large number of Evil Spirits.
How could Tidomas' minions miss such a good opportunity?
The other Evil Spirit Overlords should have also sent capable agents that would strive to take credit for that great lifeform in the Evil Spirit Sea.
And among Evil Spirits, there were many that could possess bodies and could temporarily control a soul.
The only thing that made Marvin doubtful about this theory was that since Wayne gained the Wizard God's inheritance, he should have immense willpower and wisdom. How could he be possessed without Isabelle noticing anything?
Even if he really was possessed, why was that spirit so familiar with Wayne's body, so adept in using his magic, and proclaiming itself the God of Magic?
...
At that moment, Marvin couldn't spend too much effort thinking.
The only thing he could do at the moment was to capture Wayne.
He believed that no matter the reason for his behavior, with the help of the Wisdom Chapter, he could help Wayne out of that predicament.
Marvin pushed his speed so fast that he even tore through space as he reached Wayne!
Marvin suddenly grimaced.
He couldn't move forward at all!
A powerful Barrier was blocking his path.
He could even feel that Barrier ripping at his body, as if it were a huge whirlpool continuously tearing apart his skin!
"Bireger's Spinning Barrier is a very useful spell, wouldn't you say?"
Wayne smiled coldly.
Four Arcane Energy Cones lanced down at Marvin from tricky angles.
The Barrier was very good at sticking to people. If Marvin tried to forcibly break away from it right now, he would lose his opportunity.
Standing in front of him was his younger brother!
He couldn't just slash him!
Marvin was in an obvious dilemma.
He could only back down at this time.
This was the first time he felt like backing down from a fight he could otherwise win since he came to this world.
"Woosh!"
Marvin's silhouette disappeared and the four Arcane Energy Cones crashed into each other, disappearing.
But in that split second, as they vanished through the void, Marvin suddenly saw a face!
It was a woman's face.
Sneering, full of resentment and evil.
Marvin was startled.
'Dark Phoenix!?'
Marvin felt a chill run down his spine.
'How could this be?'
'Dark Phoenix already died! I'm sure of it!'
'How could she possess Wayne's body?'
This was completely beyond Marvin's understanding!
'Regardless, I have to get a hold of him first.'
'Must go all-out!'
Marvin clenched his teeth.
If it really was Dark Phoenix, then he definitely couldn't allow her to stay within Wayne's body.
This matter was too sudden, and Marvin couldn't think of a better idea.
He could only pull out his daggers.
Even if he had to injure Wayne, he had to expel Dark Phoenix!
A faint cold light flashed in the small forest.
Sodom's Blades emitted a low whistling sound as the atmosphere suddenly filled with an impatient aura.
Marvin could feel that when the daggers appeared, the mysterious imprint inside Wayne shuddered!
She knew this weapon!
She was afraid!
...
On the other side of the forest, Wayne started calmly retreating.
"I originally wanted to deal with you myself."
"But since someone else is willing to do it, I'll leave first."
"After all, I haven't worked with others for quite a while, and I forgot many of my spells."
His voice started distorting.
It went from a young boy's voice to a more bewitching one.
By now, Marvin was certain that the mysterious imprint in Wayne's body had something to do with Dark Phoenix!
Otherwise, why would he have started mentioning the God of Magic out of nowhere?
"Thinking of leaving?"
Marvin was filled with anger, but couldn't vent it.
His Wisdom ability kicked in on its own and was trying to infer how he should solve this issue.
The Fate Tablet was just around the corner, while his brother, who had newly become a Legend, had unexpectedly met this kind of trouble. How could all this not give Marvin a headache?
He didn't expect that out of nowhere, the air would suddenly become extremely sticky!
It felt as if he fell into a jar of molasses.
'Why can't I leave?'
Wayne smiled. He floated up, and as Marvin glared fixedly, he turned into a blue light and escaped.
"They all came out for you."
...
People came out one after the other from the forest.
They were wearing gowns of different colors. Some were muttering softly, while some were praying with smiles on their faces.
A huge amount of Divine Power surged in the forest, almost blocking the path entirely.
This was the reason Marvin couldn't move!
[Divine Shackles]!
More than sixty Clerics joined hands to cast this devastating Divine Spell!
They were using it on Marvin.
"You went so far in order to try to deal with me."
Now that Wayne had already taken off, Marvin calmed down.
He coldly looked at the three men coming out of the forest.
One of them was a man with golden hair, looking the most dazzling. He clapped and walked over, with 20 of the Clerics following him!
"Past facts let us know that these measures are necessary."
"Diggles, Dark Phoenix, Ambella, the Martyr… I have to say, you have created too many surprises for this continent, but the Astral Sea doesn't need this kind of surprise."
"If you don't die today, I won't know how to explain myself."
The Blonde man confidently announced, "Let me introduce myself. I am Winston, a follower of the Dream God."
The other two leaders also stepped out. "My God is the Black Dragon God."
"Queen of Spiders!"
The three followers of their respective Gods followers joined hands to lead an operation that would seek to eliminate Marvin as a prelude to the war over the Fate Tablet.
With three Apostles as their core, over sixty Clerics bowed their heads and Divine Power gathered in their bodies, solidifying the space and forming Divine Shackles!
From this moment on, the entire forest would be in a sealed state. If they didn't kill Marvin, they would be no way to unlock this space.
And for Marvin, the only way to escape was...
"No more bullshit."
"I'm in a very bad mood."
"Thus, I've decided… I'm going to destroy you all!"
Sodom's Blades let out a sharp sound as Marvin approached the Clerics!
