《Night Ranger》Chapter 584. Watcher (2)

After Marvin entered Devil Town, the entrance immediately closed!
"Bang!"
The Black Knight's group didn't have time to get close before they were blocked outside by the door.
Marvin wasn't surprised by this because he already knew that the entrance to Devil Town would only be opened for a short moment. Only the holder of the key could smoothly go in.
Sangore angrily punched the thick city gate and roared, "He had the key!"
"He killed Stang and snatched my key. His goal is definitely the Bloody Emperor!"
The Wizard also had an unsightly expression as she asked, "What should we do now?"
The Black Knight was silent for a moment before a cold laughter suddenly erupted from his body.
"Your laughter is tiresome, Saydis," Sangore muttered, apparently unsurprised.
A pure-blooded Devil appeared in front of them.
"Seems like you've encountered another problem, my friend." Saydis had a smile plastered across his face, and although he looked like a Devil, he gave off a likable feeling.
"Don't look at me like that, every time you meet some trouble, I offer you a solution, don't I?"
"I'm the one who helped you survive until now and become this powerful."
Sangore sneered, "Don't make yourself look like a philanthropist! You obtained many things from me."
"Of course, of course. Fair trade is the basis of cooperation." Saydis licked his lips. "You know the strength of Sodom's Blades. If that boy gets his hands on them… I'll let you in on a little secret. You and he both have the bloodline and status of someone of the Nine Hells. His bloodline is even nobler than yours, so he might have an easier time receiving the acknowledgement of the Bloody Emperor and inheriting his legacy."
The Black Knight shook at the revelation. "He doesn't have a Devilish aura!"

Saydis shrugged and said with an air of mystery, "Diross, the Lord of the [Scorched Hell], is his grandfather. The Molten Archdevil's bloodline flows in his body. You must be slow to not have noticed this. If he obtains that slaughterer's inheritance this time, he will also gain the power of the Lord of the 3rd Hell."
"Do you think you'll be able to be his opponent then?"
The Black Knight remained silent with a serious expression on his face.
Saydis' tone was full of temptation as he whispered, "Just like I was able to tell you the location of the Bloody Emperor's tomb, I can also help you enter Devil Town!"
The Black Knight dryly answered, "But I don't have anything suitable to trade with you anymore."
"You took my soul and everything I have already. What did you take a fancy to this time?"
Saydis laughed mischievously as his gaze fell onto the Legend Wizard to the side. "Eh, Sangore, you pitiful Black Knight. Since you already know you've lost everything, why do you still care about the obsessions of mortals?"
"Why do you still cling to your origins as a mortal?"
"You shouldn't do so, and you aren't fit for romance."
"Give her soul to me, and I'll send you to Devil Town."
Sangore didn't speak for a while. The Wizard's expression changed as she yelled, "We can still enter Devil Town without you!"
She looked at the Black Knight on his horse, the man she foolishly fell in love with a century ago.
And she saw the tip of that spear approaching.
A Devil's laughter rang out just in front of the entrance to Devil Town, echoing sweetly like a bell.
It was a terrifying sound.
...
Marvin was cautiously walking forward.

Many Watchers were staring at them.
Marvin couldn't help but feel fidgety when he looked at that sole eye.
In an instant, he like his heart was being plunged into the depths of despair!
He was too tired to live, it would be better to die.
Death would solve everything.
These ideas seemed to echo in his heart.
'[Suicidal Curse]...'
Marvin took a deep breath.
His eyes regained their shine.
His willpower had already reached a frighteningly high level, and thus, the Suicidal Curse that would have been able to destroy most Legend powerhouses couldn't overcome him.
The pitiful Tomb Raider instantly got hit by the curse, but thankfully, Marvin reacted quickly and used a black cloth to cover his eyes.
Otherwise, he might have already killed himself.
Marvin had the Tomb Raider follow along behind him.
'Devil Town… Devil Town…'
'Could it be that the Bloody Emperor was related to the Devils?'
These kinds of doubts rose up in Marvin's heart.
The eyes made him think of one of the Archdevils of the Nine Hells!
The Eye Tyrant Archdevil.
An Archdevil of the Nine Hells, one of the most powerful existences of the entire Universe. These Watchers felt very similar to that Archdevil.
For the Bloody Emperor to put his tomb in such a town, he might have had some sort of relationship with Devils.
This hadn't been mentioned in the post.
Marvin was on high alert because the guide had left out many details. It was human nature to hide the most important parts that could benefit oneself.
But Marvin felt that Devils were still better than Demons and Evil Spirits.
Devils had their own sets of rules. They had a crazy obsession with contracts and agreements.
Marvin had had many dealings with Devils in the game, and he even had some sort of relationship with them in this life, as he was carrying the bloodline of the Nine Hells.
As long as he found the entrance to the tomb, getting Sodom's Blades shouldn't be an issue.
But they ran into some trouble as they progressed.
The Tomb Raider was obviously very experienced with breaking into tombs. His knowledge of graves and tombs was extensive.
He had deeply researched the famous historical tombs, and Devil Town was also included.
Marvin needed his help to find the entrance to the Tomb.
But he couldn't open his eyes. Although he was a Legend, his willpower was clearly not high enough to resist them. He might die anytime if he tried to meet these Watchers' gazes.
After thinking for a bit, Marvin came up with a possible solution.
He described the terrain in front of him to the Tomb Raider.
After he was done listening, that guy analyzed the path with his skills.
Although this method was quite slow and might have some inaccuracies, it was also the best they could come up with at the moment.
Relying on the Tomb Raider's understanding of tombs, the two men slowly went deeper into Devil Town.
They soon reached the center of the town.
Instead of the short houses that were near the entrance, they were surrounded by much taller buildings now. The Watchers were also much fewer in number here.
But the unease in Marvin's heart didn't lessen.
These buildings had strange shapes and felt even more startling than those Watchers.
Even though he was blindfolded, the Tomb Raider also sensed the terror of this place.
He softly muttered, "I keep having this ominous feeling."
"I feel as if someone has been secretly spying on us. But not those eyes."
"I feel… as if this town is alive!"
