Chapter 539: Wilderness God!

Chapter 539: Wilderness God!

Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation

At that instant, the entire Dungeon seemed to go silent.

It was as if the air had been instantly drained, making all sounds die out.

All that was left was the peaceful lull, as well as the quiet sounds of breathing!

The Lich's soul fire kept flickering very rapidly. This meant that his soul was now extremely nervous, or on guard!

Hathaway reacted quickly, relying on her unique Witchcraft to leave the Life and Death array.

'That voice…'

'Was it the Wilderness God?'

Marvin's hairs were standing on end, and a chill spread from his bones to every corner of his body.

He had never heard a voice like that.

It was just a few sentences, just a few words... And even though the voice had spoken in Common, it gave out a feeling of boundless evil!

Even that group of Evil Spirit Overlords hadn't given Marvin such a feeling.

He was now regretting that his Perception was so high.

The sharper the senses, the greater the impact!

...

"Respected Teacher, you're overthinking it," the Lich's voice echoed. "This student has always been single-mindedly focused on serving you in order to let you recover and move unimpeded through the Universe!"

"Wizard God Lance has already disappeared. As long as the ritual is completed, no one will be able to stop you in the entire Universe."

"You don't need to doubt my loyalty!"

Despite the Lich's voice being very calm, Marvin felt something off about it.

Hathaway's expression changed.

She noticed that the Night Flower was embedded in the Cold Light's Grasps with a neat trick.

But she did seem to have awakened the Wilderness God's consciousness after pulling the daggers out of the coffin.

The previous roars now turned into a clear voice coming from the coffin, indicating the recovery of the Ancient Evil God!

"Ah?"

"[Life and Death], that ritual is still something I gave you. Bandel, you are my student, so I understand you very well."

"You hated me ever since I killed her. Did you really think I didn't notice that? And now you claim that you were taking the opportunity to help me resurrect? Hahahaha…"

"You want me to believe you?!"

Everyone froze.

As the echoes of the Wilderness God's words dissipated, the coffin lid fell to the side.

The flame merged with a statue in the coffin.

That statue looked sinister. There were eyes grown all over the face, the body was surrounded by barbs and ivy, and it seemed to be a petrified man.

His movements were very stiff, but his voice was very clear, apparently not affected by the petrification.

'This is the Wilderness God?'

Marvin held his breath.

Marvin could already feel his power despite the fact that he had yet to recover!

If the Wilderness God recovered completely, his strength might be above that of the current Tidomas!

Molly was still struggling in Marvin's embrace.

However, when the Wilderness God appeared, the little girl opened her eyes again.

Despite the blood still flowing out of her eyes, she stopped struggling.

"What's going on? Molly?"

Marvin noticed the changes in the young girl's actions and asked in worry.

"That's a bad person." Molly pointed at the petrified man and conscientiously said, "Uncle Griffin won't let him off."

'Griffin?'

Pain jolted through Marvin's heart once more.

Clearly, the cursed girl's awareness was far more confused than that of common children.

Griffin was already dead, and Marvin didn't want to continue talking about that topic.

But looking at her serious face, Marvin couldn't help but feel sorrow.

Griffin's corpse was actually in Marvin's Origami Space, along with Isabelle and the Winter Assassin.

When the Wilderness Hall collapsed, Marvin didn't want to let the worthy Paladin's remains end up buried under the rubble. He decided to take them with him to give him a proper burial later.

Unfortunately, Molly didn't know of anything that happened after she was captured by the Bone Dragon.

Marvin only held the cold girl tightly, whispering, "Yes, I'm sure of it."

...

"Teacher, you have surely misunderstood me," the Lich explained. "You taught me the Life and Death ritual, so you can see that you are in the Life position."

The petrified man went silent for a while.

But he suddenly violently shouted, "Witch!"

"Why is there a Witch! That bitch Faniya… She actually joined hands with the Anzeds to scheme against me…"

Although the petrified man seemed to be enraged, he didn't look powerful. He glared angrily at Hathaway, who met his gaze without showing any weakness.

"You are the Wilderness God? Hehe, if not for me, your consciousness would still be locked inside that coffin. You should be thanking me."

Hathaway arrogantly raised her chin.

She could see that the current Wilderness God's aura felt very frightening, but he himself was actually extremely weak!

If she had fused with the last High Witchcraft Authority, then she would now be looking at the opportunity to slay a God!

Thus, she wasn't afraid of him!

But the other people present were fearful and wary of the recovering Wilderness God.

Not everyone was immune to those waves of fear emanating from him!

Marvin had high Willpower, but even he didn't dare look into the petrified man's eyes. He felt that he would become petrified if he did.

This was the power of the Ancient Evil god!

...

"Thank you? Very well, just wait until I've resurrected and I'll eat you first as thanks," he viciously retorted.

His gaze ultimately landed back on the Lich.

"Bandel, I'll believe you once for now. But you know that I've recovered this far now. If you dare to pull any tricks during the ritual…"

"You should clearly know the consequences."

The Lich calmly replied, "Naturally."

"In fact, the ritual had already started, only a small accident happened. You can start activating the Life and Death array's power."

The petrified man stood at the peak position of the six-pointed star, looking coldly at everyone present. He completely ignored Marvin and Minsk, as well as the Jade Banshee and the Two-Headed Bone Dragon.

It was like these people didn't even exist to him.

This feeling was unpleasant.

"We can't stop him," Minsk bitterly said. "I kept trying to contact my father, but he hasn't answered to me in a long time. It seems like there is really some problem. Otherwise, he would have answered, with such a great issue upon us."

Minsk originally still had hope. The Ancient Nature God and the Ancient Elven God of yore were second only to God Lance. He definitely had the strength to stop the Wilderness God. But the Nature God wasn't answering him, just like how the Migratory Bird Council had lost their connection with him.

"Leave this place." Hathaway instantly appeared at Marvin's side.

Although she didn't care about the life and death of the Wilderness God, she still had an impression of Marvin.

Her instinct was urging her so much, and she didn't want Marvin to die here.

"Leave? Too late," the Lich's gloomy voice echoed.

"Since my teacher has already recovered, how could you possibly escape?"

Then, the Life and Death array became fully operational!

The petrified man stood in the Life position and started pouring in the strength he had saved up over the years.

The flame shrank to a faint flicker, and a Divine Vessel began condensing out of nowhere!

The Lich's fog quickly rushed around the array.

"He is right, you'll all be my first meal after I wake up!" the petrified man howled with laughter.

In an instant, the space in the entire dungeon seemed to freeze as Divine Laws starting sealing it!

Even Marvin's tangible Domain and Hathaway's abilities were ineffective!

The group all went pale.

In fact, only Molly, still in Marvin's embrace, seemed a lot better. Perhaps the power was helping to suppress the curse from flaring up.

"The day has finally arrived."

"Finally… my power… came back…"

The Wilderness God felt the strength surging from the ritual, and he couldn't help but sound gleeful.

But he suddenly felt startled for a moment before becoming furious!

"What are you doing!"

A strict voice rang through the dungeon.

The Lich coldly said, "I'm just doing what I should be doing."

"Even if a stupid Witch disturbs my plan, I won't give up."

"Dear Teacher, you really did understand me."

"I really… truly hate you!"

In a flash, everyone could feel the sealing from the Divine Laws instantly disappear.

A heavy weight seemed to be lifted from their bodies, and they all regained their freedom.

"Look!"

Minsk pointed at the Life and Death array.

Hathaway calmly chanted something, and the three of them slowly rose up and hovered in the air.

From that vantage point, they overlooked the Life and Death array and could see every change!

The originally pure-white grass was now changing at a visible speed!

From pure-white to pitch-black!

It was quite surreal seeing the wave of darkness spread through the grass.

And matching with it, the lower part of the array was also transforming. A great amount of a black aura rose up, leaving the white grass behind.

The three of them opened their eyes wide!

Life and Death were still Life and Death.

But the sides of the array had actually reversed.

Lady Silvermoon's location suddenly became the Life position, while the Wilderness God became the sacrifice!

This looked simple, but to be able to hide something like that from the notice of the Wilderness God... Who knew how much the Lich had paid for that!

"He wants to resurrect Miss Silvermoon!"

"That's not good!"

"Without the suppression from the Cold Light's Grasps, Bandel might not be able to restrain the Wilderness God!" Minsk said while grinding his teeth.

Hathaway frowned, not knowing what to think.

The Wilderness God raised his head and was roaring angrily as he tried to struggle free of the ritual's control.

At that time, Bandel couldn't help but worriedly shout, "Witch! What are you still hesitating for?"

"Can't you help? Do you really want to see the Wilderness God return?"
