《Night Ranger》Chapter 586. Myths
Advertisement
Marvin shook when he heard the Tomb Raider's report!
He suddenly understood what was going on with his Perception!
It truly wasn't a tomb.
It was a special town!
Devil Town… Devil Town!
The were no details about Devil Town in the post. Thinking about it now, that may have been one of the most important parts that was deliberately omitted by the poster.
His words had been misleading all along.
He made people think that this town was built by the Bloody Emperor to protect his resting place.
In fact, over the years, Devil Town did prevent a lot of problems for the Bloody Emperor.
But that didn't mean that he had been the one who established Devil Town.
'It's possible that… Devil Town had existed long before the Bloody Emperor!'
'And he only put the entrance to his tomb here!'
Marvin silently thought through the possibilities.
If it was the case, then everything could be explained!
He was about to say something, when suddenly, a few shadows appeared at the end of the path!
Black Knight Sangore!
Speedy's face darkened as he felt alarmed. He looked at Marvin and quickly asked, "How about we run?"
"We are heavily outnumbered…"
...
It was worrying that the Black Knight was able to pursue them into Devil Town.
Marvin had used a teleportation tool in order to shake off the pursuit of this enemy that was fighting over Sodom's Blades with him.
Who would have thought that he would appear so suddenly?
Moreover, what drew Marvin's attention the most was the person next to Sangore.
The person looked rather pretty, with feminine features despite being male.
A Greater Devil!
Marvin could feel the aura coming from his body.
Devil Town… Black Knight… Greater Devil.
Marvin had a faint, inexplicably feeling in the back of his mind.

When he saw Marvin, the fury in the Black Knight's eyes was visible!
If not for this devious pest, would he have needed to pay such a disastrous price to enter Devil Town?
The eyes of the Legend Wizard behind him were already blank. Only enmity and other instincts remained.
Sangore had offered her soul to Saydis.
That was the only payment Saydis was willing to accept in exchange for sending them into Devil Town.
Thus, there was now another person bound to Sangore's Book of Nalu. But this time, most of the soul had been taken away by Saydis, causing the Legend Wizard's strength to decrease substantially, leaving her at the bottom of the Legend realm.
At the same time, the capable woman who had always followed him had disappeared, and in her stead, he gained a wooden puppet that obeyed all his orders.
Such a decision was hard for Black Knight Sangore to accept, but in order to get stronger, he had already decided to give up everything.
He walked a path of no return.
Relatives, friends, righteousness, emotions… Even his own soul… He traded everything for power.
He knew that sooner or later, he would die at the hands of that smiling Greater Devil. They had always been doing this, tricking people by luring them in.
First, they would give some benefits and only have the target pay an insignificant price, slowly drawing in the prey.
If Sangore didn't have the Book of Nalu, he might have already been swallowed by Saydis.
Even so, every time he faced Saydis, he would still feel worried.
After all, this was the second son of the Extreme Evil Lord! The 2nd heir of the Extreme Evil Purgatory.
But Sangore had always been saving his strength silently.
He was different from the others who were tempted by Devils, because he had the help of an Artifact.

He believed that he could resist the Devil's corruption and keep getting stronger until one day, he would take everything back from the Devils.
Everything!
With all this in mind, Sangore's eyes became more resolute.
He tightly gripped the spear in his hand, boldly pointing it at Marvin.
The Tomb Raider's expression worsened. He was scared and wanted to run, but didn't dare to run!
Sangore was very powerful, but Marvin was just as frightening!
He was at loss and could only look worriedly at Marvin.
But he didn't see any confusion in Marvin's eyes.
Even in these circumstances, the youth was still calm.
If it wasn't just an act, then Marvin was truly worth of the Tomb Raider's respect.
...
Facing the Black Knight's Spear, Marvin didn't even draw his daggers.
This wasn't because of overconfidence, but rather because he wanted to clarify something.
"Devil Town, Devil Town…"
"This place is one of the first cities established in Feinan by the Devils, right?" Marvin suddenly asked.
His eyes were focused on Saydis.
Saydis smiled at Marvin. "You are quite clever."
"If you want, I can make a deal with you."
Despite Sangore's sudden murderous expression, Saydis continued chatting cheerfully with Marvin. "I can tell you the exact location of Sodom's Blades."
Marvin sneered back, "Sorry, I don't have any interest in dealing with Devils for the time being."
"Hypocrite." Saydis wasn't angry, though, and continued with an amiable grin. "If it wasn't from dealing with Devils, where do you think those bloodlines in your body come from?"
"As an heir of the Nine Hells, I'll give you a piece of advice. Myths will always be myths. It is already quite good to be able to inherit the family's power."
"What you want to do will meet endless resistance. Restoring the glory of the Ancient Angels is almost impossible."
Saydis' tone carried a hint of ridicule as he concluded, "Many Greater Devils failed on that road when they otherwise could have walked very far."
"Some matters are impossible."
Marvin was speechless.
He made sure to look completely calm on the surface, but he was quite puzzled by the Devil's words.
'What nonsense is that guy talking about?'
'What myth? What inheritance? '
'How come I can't understand what he's talking about?'
If he hadn't had been so good at looking unperturbed, Marvin's expression would have been quite a sight.
But Saydis seemed to think that Marvin's silence was a rejection of his advice. The Greater Devil indifferently muttered, "With your abilities, finding Sodom's Blades is just a fantasy."
"Without a proper guide… could it be that you plan on relying on a Tomb Raider to find Sodom's Blades?"
"Haha, truly funny. In that case, see you later, Sir Marvin."
"Oh, by the way, I am called Saydis."
The Greater Devil winked at him and then waved his hand.
The group instantly disappeared.
Marvin took a deep breath.
That guy knew his name...
He seemed pretty knowledgeable about Devil Town…
He knew about his bloodline...
All this knowledge couldn't be explained simply by the fact that Saydis was a Greater Devil.
That Saydis guy definitely had a very frightening background.
But at that time, the Tomb Raider laughed bitterly and asked Marvin, "If we take Devil Town's name at face value, wouldn't that mean that a lot of Devils will appear?"
Marvin froze as a tall silhouette appeared at the entrance of the street.

Numbers Continually Going Upward
The world has very politely ended in the most webfiction way possible. Everyone is now leveling up in various things. Problems are arising. Some or all of those problems may be based around how to have a community barbeque when the nearest cow has been teleported to a few thousand miles away, along with the nearest supermarket. Join our protagoinst as he attempts to be a cool person, while everything falls apart. _____It turns out that any attempt to write a parody of the litrpg genre through overuse of the concept of leveling up inevitably fails when it turns out that *that is what the genre is based on*. Still, this was a fun little candy project of mine, and I might write more of it.

Quirkless?
As a small child my whole perception of the world changed. I was surrounded by liars and fakes. Humans are such a cruel species, if someone doesn't fit they are cast out. People turn a blind eye to cruelty I've faced, people don't care about the quirkless. Except I'm not quirkless. Far from it. All I can say is my treatment in this world made me strong but cold, bitter and apathetic. I was the only human I could trust, I and I alone. Here is the story of how I ended up in my version of hell, UA. Surrounded by, well you know, just about every single person I couldn't get far enough away from. And an overkill quirk just about everyone wanted a piece of. Yeah I was dealt some pretty shitty cards, now you'll see how I play them.Uploads depend on my schedule but I'll try weekly also error will be made cuz I dotn proof read, when I've finished I'll go over it 😅 The story follows Izuku but if there's a change in povs there will be a indication ⚠️ warning swearing and violence⚠️
