Chapter 688: Monster

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The temple itself was built in the ruins. After the two went through the run-down entrance to the ruins, they could see that the surroundings were covered in cobwebs and crushed rocks.

This place had already been abandoned for thousands of years.

A faded and evil aura assaulted his senses. Marvin suddenly felt a hidden threat.

He immediately took a look at the temple itself.

In the shadows, a huge... spider was yearningly staring at them.

This type of spider was very frightening. Not only did it have thousands of pairs of eyes packed densely on its head like red dots, but the most terrifying parts were its sixteen claws!

Marvin's eyesight was quite keen, so he could clearly see the sharp sawteeth sticking out of the spider's legs.

What made him puzzled was that the spider didn't attack, despite looking like it wanted to.

"No need to look at it. Although it's the guardian of this place, it won't attack us," Yin sneered.

Marvin was distracted from his alertness by Yin's assertion. "Are the monsters here under the control of the World Ending Twin Snakes?" he asked while frowning.

Yin nodded, a glimmer appearing in his eyes. "Thus, the problem is not how we get what we want, but rather how we will escape after getting something."

"This seems quite contradictory," Marvin pointed out. "Can't we just clear them out first?"

"First of all, we aren't familiar with the strength of these monsters. Don't look at me like that. Although I have lived for a long time, the Evil Gods predate the birth of the Vampires." Yin chuckled to himself before asking, "Then, could it be that you didn't notice that it would be a bit easier to escape than to beat these ancient monsters?"

Yin certainly had a point.

Marvin was a Ruler of the Night that had advanced from the Ranger class, and he had plenty of escape abilities. The Vampire Primogenitor was also an extremely shrewd ancient powerhouse. The descended Vampires had very frightening speed, so as the Primogenitor, Yin should definitely have even better ways to get around.

But Marvin was a bit unwilling to release the World Ending Twin Snakes.

Thus, while he walked along with Yin, he tried to think of ways to prevent this from happening.

The path to the temple wasn't smooth. Many parts were blocked by huge, collapsed rocks, so they just chose different paths to circumvent them.

It could be seen that in the ancient era, the invasion of the Twin Snakes was very thorough.

This huge temple was enough to prove everything.

They could see all kinds of dark and cold paths that were filled with traps, making Marvin feel uncomfortable.

Yin was mostly expressionless, but even for him, some fear flashed in his eyes from time to time. Walking in the temple of a renowned and vicious Evil God was also quite pressuring to him.

And what caused even more pressure was that as they advanced, more and more monsters were tailing them!

Marvin had never heard of these monsters before!

After all, Marvin had read through the illustrated monster handbook for the game. Let alone the monsters of the plane of Feinan, he even knew the lifeforms of the Astral Plane. He could identify and name them by heart.

But he truly had no information about these creatures.

Relying on the advanced False Divine Vessel's weak perception in this area, he could feel that most of these monsters had a bit of Divinity.

That Divinity was different from that of the current Gods. It gave off an odd, illusory feeling, sometimes existing, sometimes fading, seeming unfathomable.

A python with a forked tail, a large and restless lizard with only three legs, and the one that started following first, the red-speckled spider...

As time passed, Marvin got the feeling that he wasn't actually heading for the temple of his own volition, but was actually being driven along by these monsters.

He faintly heard a mumbling sound between them.

That mumbling was low, and the words were unclear. It gave out a hair-raising feeling.

Was this the sound of the World Ending Twin Snakes urging these monsters to guide these two people to get the Fate Tablet and the Vampires' Secret Precepts?

Marvin's heart couldn't help sinking when he thought of this.

What he disliked the most was facing an unknown enemy.

It was hard to predict how strong the World Ending Twin Snakes might be.

Their strength was surely frightening, there was no doubt of that, but how strong exactly, Marvin didn't know. After all, no matter how powerful they had been, after being sealed in a world of nothingness for millennia, how much lifeforce would they still have?

The key here was his temporary partner walking alongside him. Marvin couldn't completely trust him.

Yin mentioned the Vampires' Secret Precepts, but what if that wasn't actually his goal?

He might have said that to lower Marvin's vigilance.

If the one at his side had been Eve, Jessica, or even Professor, Marvin would feel reassured.

Because he knew these people. Even if under the temptation of desirable items there might be some variables, Marvin believed in their characters.

As for Yin, who seemed to be a good-natured Vampire, he actually made Marvin worry.

Thus, Marvin not only needed to be wary of the monsters in the temple and the possible appearance of the World Ending Twin Snakes, but he also had to guard against the possibility of Yin becoming his enemy!

After all, Yin's understanding of the Ethereal Plane and the World Ending Twin Snakes was a lot deeper than Marvin's. If he had schemed up a trap for Marvin, it would be quite a predicament.

Moreover, he still didn't know where the Azure Matriarch was hiding.

Marvin couldn't forget that she was still here.

Even if he was many times stronger than the Azure Matriarch right now, he tried to never underestimate his enemies.

Especially when the other side was hidden in the dark.

'Adapt based on the situation.'

'...I hope Wayne wakes up soon.'

Marvin took the time to check on Wayne, who was still in the Origami, sleeping peacefully.

Given Wayne's powerful arcane abilities, he could definitely be of great help to Marvin.

But who knew when he would wake up.

...

As the two continued down the path, the number of monsters gathering behind them had already reached double digits!

Even Yin couldn't help but laugh. "It's quite rare for a group of monsters like this to restrain their craving for slaughter."

"Seems like they were patiently waiting for this to happen."

Marvin glanced back and lightly asked, "When we reach that place and get the items from the Twin Snakes' seal, what about them?"

"No idea." Yin shook his head, a strange expression in his eyes. "It's rumored that no person can resist the temptation of a Fate Tablet."

"But you said that you have no interest in the Fate Tablet," Marvin reminded him.

Yin laughed out loud, "I'm not just a person."

'As if I could believe you,' Marvin thought to himself.

At this point, a fairly open area spread in front of them.

It looked like a wide open hall, and at the end of the hall was a dark hallway.

Marvin could feel something hidden in the shadows of that hallway.

At this time, the monsters behind them stopped and didn't go any further.

They just stood in place and stared coldly at Marvin and Yin.

Marvin understood.

'Go in.'
