《Night Ranger》Chapter 598. Killing Instinct
Advertisement
The six main attributes had always caused Marvin headaches, as they were the most difficult things to improve.
At this point, even if he increased the level of his Legend Class, he wouldn't gain any more attribute points from it.
To increase his attributes now, he had to do it like the natives did, by temper himself.
Marvin had previously tempered his Strength and Constitution with the former leader of the Night Walkers, Sean, increasing those attributes to some extent.
Although the Essence Absorption System that he possessed was amazing, it had its limits.
After reaching the Legend realm, the essences that would still give him noticeable benefits were becoming fewer and fewer.
Naturally, this was related to the battle experience he got from killing monsters.
The only real help he could receive from the Essence Absorption System was when he killed lifeforms on the same level as Divine Servants.
But even so, after playing around with the system, Marvin had come to the conclusion that transforming those essences into attribute points was absurdly inefficient. Thus, Marvin decided to convert all his battle experience into skill points. Although that wasn't particularly efficient either, it wasn't like there was much else for him to do with the experience now.
Thus, there hadn't been much of a change in his attributes for a long time.
These six attributes were the foundation of his body.
After becoming a Legend, he gained all sorts of specialties upgraded his body implicitly.
After all, the body was very complicated and couldn't just be summarized accurately into six attributes.
But then again, with the continuous improvement of Marvin's power, the other attributes had been complemented in other aspects. It was just that Dexterity had been stuck at 30 points for all this time.
He was very clear about this, but couldn't do much about it.
The boundary of Godly Dexterity was the limit that Humans could reach.
It was like like an invisible shackle. To break through the limit, one would have to use special means, like ascending to Godhood, turning into a Lich, accepting the gift of a Greater Devil, or practicing extremely secret techniques.

But the last was too rare, far too difficult to discover.
Marvin had also been looking for a way to break through besides ascending and ultimately chose to nurture his False Divine Vessel.
Even though the Fairy didn't speak much about it, he could feel that the advanced Divine Vessel was very precious. He could feel a formidable power stored inside, but that power was still condensing and hadn't burst out yet.
The False Divine Vessel was a very long-term investment so it would be quite a while before it paid returns.
Marvin prepared to wait patiently for that.
But he didn't think that he would randomly break through so suddenly.
He was filled with a pleasant feeling of surprise!
If not for that crow still waiting there, Marvin would have likely jumped up in excitement!
'When did it happen?!'
He started recalling the recent events… and finally, the scene of the fight with the Black Knight appeared in his mind.
It seemed like it might have been the provocation of Sodom's Blades, which could have triggered something in the advanced False Divine Vessel. Everything seemed too shocking.
Marvin had obtained an ability in the battle, and this ability was associated with the advanced Divine Vessel.
[Post-Godly Dexterity: With the help of the advanced False Divine Vessel, you broke through the Plane's Laws and gained an Advanced Authority]
[Post-Godly Dexterity: The power being restrained for a long time in your body has been unleashed. Dexterity +4]
[Post-Godly Dexterity: Detected trace of the Plane Will's approval, bonus Dexterity +1]
[Post-Godly Dexterity: Your Dexterity reached 35]
...
35!
No wonder he was able to handle the Black Knight so easily!
No wonder Sangore had looked at him as if seeing a monster.
Marvin didn't even notice it back then, but he was overjoyed now that he found out.
He finally broke through.
This meant that he had accomplished something that his predecessors weren't able to, and his strength had substantially increased yet again!

Sodom's Blades!
Post-Godly Dexterity!
These two things alone were enough to let Marvin establish himself among the most powerful of Legends.
But Marvin's potential didn't stop there.
Each level in the Ruler of the Night class would give him extremely frightening skills. Eternal Night Seal and Ruler's Wrath both proved it.
Moreover, the advanced False Divine Vessel's strength not only helped Marvin break through the Dexterity limit. In the Post-Godly Dexterity line, there was also faint box on the side.
[Killing Instinct] (Nurturing…)
It was clear that this Killing Instinct was another ability of the false Divine Vessel that he could unlock.
He couldn't use it yet, but Marvin believed that the ability would definitely be related to the Slaughter Domain. Moreover, it was very likely that it would increase Marvin's fighting strength tremendously once more.
Thinking of this, Marvin immediately felt like he was brimming with power.
With a treasure like the advanced False Divine Vessel, how could he have any worries that his strength wouldn't increase in the near future?
...
The appearance of Post-Godly Dexterity proved that Marvin's rate of growth had no issues.
Gods weren't the only ones that could become stronger. There were many powerhouses in ancient times who had used their own methods, and Marvin believed he would manage to do something similar.
Like the Ruler of the Night.
He calmed down after the wave of joy.
Marvin wasn't that would lose himself in success.
He calmly waited a few more minutes before that crow slowly flew away.
A bit after it took off, it turned around to give another look, as if it instinctively felt something. But Marvin's Stealth was too strong, so the crow flapped its wings and flew away.
The next step was to quickly reach the core of the swamp.
Thanks to the guilds' forum posts, Marvin actually knew his way around the swamp somewhat, so there shouldn't be any problems on that end.
He crossed the river and continued following the path, relying on his outstanding Dexterity to move very quickly.
Soon, he left the outer [Mushroom Area] of the swamp.
The cabin could already be seen far away in the distance.
He stood behind some tall grass, studying his surroundings.
He was now in an area known as the [Lizard Area].
As the name implied, the snake Witch raised many lizards there. These lizards had the ability to sense minute differences in heat. If he was too close, he would be likely be discovered in spite of his incredible Stealth. Silently going through the Lizard Area to kill the Witch was normally just a fantasy.
In the game, some guilds formed a few groups of Legends and forced their way over.
But luckily, a lone Ranger found out a trick, which Marvin was currently using.
Thus, he wasn't too worried at the moment. He checked the movements of several lizards before finally jumping, not toward the cabin, but actually toward the dense foggy area to the west.
There, the fog was extremely thick, but the strange part was that there was a warm radiance from the foggy mist. Any normal person would probably hesitate to wander into a strange, dense mist near the dwelling of someone so well known for making poisons.
Marvin remained calm, slowing down his pace as he moved toward the [Courtyard Area].
Inside the Courtyard Area, there was a small ravine filled with odd holes leading to the surface.
Sunshine would occasionally pierce through from the surface to enter the Underdark.
Naturally, this was one of the favorite places of the Snake Witch.

The Twin Lands
Join our heroine Enru on her journey in a world where humanity lives in perpetual light and warm while their enemies, the spider beings called Araxin, live in perpetual darkness and cold. Just because they live in the darkness and cold though doesn’t mean the Araxin want to stay there forever however, and this time their bid for the Southern half of the continent looks to be shaping up worse for humanity than ever before. Every ten years the planet nears its second sun in such a way that the Northern half of the continent warms and thaws and the Araxin enter a period of explosive growth, before always attempting to assault the humans in the South. Through events that you will need to read and discover yourself, sixteen year old Enru ends up vital to the survival of humanity, but can she succeed? In a world full of humans, dragons, giant intelligent spiders, trogs, behemoths lurking in the deep, magic, politics (can’t forget the politics) and more, what wonders await you? NOTE: This is my very first attempt at writing ever. Not just my first attempt I am showing people or my first attempt that went anywhere, but my first of any kind. I welcome constructive critisism and I know my grammar is not always the best. If something is majorly bothering you please leave a good comment or review on it rather than just a 0.5 rating and saying I suck. NOTE2: The main character will be gaining power that is, if used correctly, well above the standard for her race however I plan to implement it in such a way that she does not end up being crazy over powered and able to end every fight at her whim. She will struggle, she will lose sometimes and there will be loss along her journey to save her race. There will be no harem and I am unsure if there will be any sex scenes or even romance as this is my first story and I am not confident yet at being able to write that properly. So if you came here for the standard royalroad super OP guy that flies around having sex with every female character he meets, this is not that. Update Frequency: As this is my first story and I am still in the early stages, I cannot say how often updates will be. I lead a very busy life and this is a new way for me to relieve stress. I hope to be able to put out a few thousand words every few days at the least. Enjoy the story! PS. Cover was found on the website thedailybell.com, they did not source where they found it. I rotated and resized the image.

Making a difference
Harry Potter FanFiction: Hannah Longbottom liked to watch the people who entered the Wizarding World via the small, walled courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron for a reason: During her not so long life, she had learned about three different boys who had entered the Wizarding World alone, leaving behind a life so horrible she could barely imagine. One of them, who became a friend of hers, had gone through great hardships to become a hero, one of the greatest wizards the Wizarding World had ever seen. One of them, who had been her teacher, had become cold and bitter, and no one had ever recognized what amazing talents he could have offered, until it had been too late. One of them, the monster she had helped to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts, had become the most dreaded, most dangerous, and most deadly man Great Britain had ever seen, and yet it could have all been different, if someone had just tried to make that difference early enough in that life, if he had not boarded the train to Hogwarts all alone. Already posted at Devianart and AO3, I've included a link to RoyalRoad on my profiles there.
