Anaj glanced at the dust from the shattered sword with a smile before staring at Marvin.

“Your sword might be a little rusty or something.”

The smile Anaj had on his face was way too natural, Marvin felt like that Anaj was mocking him and disdaining his sword.

Hath’s face turned purple when he heard Anaj speak of Marvin’s sword like that, because that ‘rusty’ sword sliced his own sword like butter…

“Oh, let me say something first. I don’t really like involving myself into bothersome situations. But, I owe this kid, therefore I will not let you bother him until he is ready.”

Anaj spoke casually with a smile.

“Brat, when did you get that strong?”

Azane asked while staring at Anaj in confusion.

Anaj glanced at Azane before turning his gaze towards Marvin once again, not bothering himself to answer Azane.

“Please continue.”

Anaj motioned them to continue with his hand with a smile on his face. His red eyes shined brightly as they gazed right through everything.

“Why, why don’t you help them?”

Eline asked in a quiet voice as she stared at Anaj. Eline had never understood Anaj since the beginning, she only knew that Anaj was from a lineage of Seers and he followed Shin because of a promise.

Anaj’s smile didn’t falter as he glanced at Eline before answering with a casual tone.

“As I said earlier, I don’t like being involved in bothersome situations. The reason I’m protecting that kid – Shin, is because I owe him, twice actually…”

“Twice?”

Eline tilted her head slightly, but she saw that Anaj returned his gaze towards Marvin. Eline quieted down and walked towards Shin, standing next to him.

“Hey, you. Will you be protecting Shin no matter what?”

Ker’Vrak raised his voice and asked Anaj while narrowing his eyes.

“Of course.”

Anaj smiled, he knew what Ker’Vrak wanted to do. Therefore, Anaj replied and gestured him to do what he pleases.

“Zura, Gladius, Lia, Malika, Shenya, Peutoa, Valkyrie chick, Elf girl and Hath, everyone go on the offensive. Let’s take him down before he gets the chance to do anything!”

Ker’Vrak roared in a loud voice as he continued to attack Marvin.

“Hahaha!”

Bayoun laughed as he punched once again towards Marvin’s unprotected back.

Zura appeared above Marvin’s head, her purple eyes gleamed brightly as she shrouded Marvin in a purple mist.

“Hehe… I want to see how much this poison will affect you!”

Marvin barely had any room to act before a pike was being thrusted towards him from the side.

“Humph!”

Marvin used his left hand to stop the pike, he then glared coldly at Lia. Not knowing when, a halberd appeared at the corner of his eyes, Marvin widened his eyes and tried to block the halberd with his right hand.

After seeing Marvin was occupied, Gin’Iro smiled wickedly and punched Marvin’s chest with his fist covered in a silver aura.

“Guh…”

Marvin threw up blood as his body was blown away five hundred meters away. When Marvin tried to raise his head, he felt a dagger nearing his neck.

“Get away!”

Marvin roared as he tried to evade, while barely managing to evade, a line of blood appeared from his neck.

A white light appeared around Marvin, Marvin felt that the light was weird, a frown appeared on his face when he felt his movements were slowed down.

“I can slow him down for less than half a minute, use it well!”

Gladius yelled out as his hands were connected and he started chanting again in a low voice.

Cold sweat ran down Marvin’s back, but he stood strong. He took the initiative to pounce towards Peutoa who was closest to him.

“Don’t you dare!”

Ovan bellowed as he appeared in front of Peutoa, holding his shield in front of Marvin.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion sounded out as Marvin’s fist punched Ovan’s green shield.

The next second, Ovan’s body was blown away over two kilometres and blood gushed out of his mouth.

Good enough…!

Ovan knew that he had succeeded as Peutoa was nowhere to be seen near Marvin.

Marvin glanced around, only to see himself being surrounded by a lot of people and the ‘traitor’ God Gin’Iro was rushing towards him.

“Come and fight me!”

Marvin roared and pounced towards Gin’Iro, this time, Marvin flicked his finger and a sword appeared in his hand.

Gin’Iro furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Marvin’s sword. Gin’Iro restrained himself as he punched towards Marvin, he knew that in pure strength, Marvin was a lot stronger than himself. Fortunately, Gin’Iro wasn’t alone in this battle, there are many who was restricting Marvin’s overall strength.

“Clang!”

Marvin’s sword and Gin’Iro’s punch met and Gin’Iro was pushed back tens of meters back, and a cut on his fist, but Gin’Iro wasn’t worried.

A blue light covered Gin’Iro’s fist and healed his injury in matters of seconds.

“My healing ability isn’t as strong as Mekina’s, but I can at least heal minor injuries.”

Murutha added in as she continued to protect and heal those who got injured.

“Screech!”

Mekina still in her phoenix form, was spewing flames towards Marvin relentlessly.

“Hehe. It seems like you are out of luck, dear God of the upper echelon.”

Gin’Iro snickered as he taunted Marvin.

Marvin stopped moving and glanced around, seeing everyone’s position clearly.

“No matter what, I must win today.”

Marvin said in a clear voice.

“I have planned this for a very long time and that miserable Queen died. The only thing left to do is to kill that child…!”

“Do you honestly think we would let you?”

Kali sneered as she glared at Marvin with cold eyes.

“I don’t need permission from any of you to kill that child!”

Marvin spoke in a deep voice.

“You actually do.”

A casual voice entered everyone’s ears, it was Anaj’s voice.

“In what imagination world do you think you can defeat me?”

Anaj continued speaking casually as he stood in front of Shin.

“It would be best if you left before Shin wakes up, because when he does, your time will end.”

“Humph! I only need to kill him, I don’t need to defeat you.”

Marvin said as he glared at Anaj, the real threat beside Shin was Anaj in Marvin’s eyes.

“You are clearly delusional…”

Anaj shook his head and sighed.

“Seems like living a long life isn’t always a good thing.”

Marvin had a bad premonition, he narrowed his eyes and evaded to the left. A pike pierced through where Marin’s previous location.

“Cheh, a miss…”

Lia muttered as she vanished.

“You…!”

Marvin wanted to curse, but he sensed that someone was behind him.

“You shouldn’t take your eyes off the ones you are fighting.”

Behind Marvin, Aria spoke coldly as she slashed Marvin’s back, leaving a scar from his left shoulder to the waist.

Not even a moment later, Hath was wielding another sword, he used that sword to pierce Marvin from the front.

Marvin wanted to use his sword to block, but Hath was too close, Marvin could only use his palm to stop the sword.

Hath’s sword pierced through Marvin’s palm, but it didn’t come near his chest. Hath knew he had to retreat, he left the sword and stepped back without a second hesitation.

Marvin used his sword to cut where Hath stood, but Hath was long gone.

“You damn rats!”

Marvin roared as he breathed heavily, his chest went up and down and his eyes were bloodshot.

“It seems like you need to relax for a bit, why don’t you just die and rest peacefully?”

An arrow came flying and hit Marvin’s calf. Lola smirked as she had been waiting for a very long time to shoot this one arrow, her whole face was drenched in sweat.

Marvin lost his calm and rushed towards Lola while raising his sword up high.

Lola’s face went pale as she couldn’t move because of the pressure Marvin gave off.

When Marvin was nearing Lola, he saw at the corner of his eyes that something large was crashing into him.

“Hahaha, have you missed me!?”

Bayoun laughed loudly as he used all his strength to push away Marvin.

Marvin frowned deeply as he sensed that his shoulder broke and his lung punctured. Marvin knew that the internal injury as a punctured lung would restrict his combat strength, he therefore knew that he had to fix it before fighting. Marvin used his aura inside of his own body, blocking the blood, fixing the bones and new cells were made to replace the dead ones. In less than two seconds, Marvin’s body was recovered, but his strength and aura couldn’t recover.

When Bayoun wanted to attack again, he stopped and turned towards Shin.

It wasn’t only Bayoun who did that. Ker’Vrak, Gladius, Mekina, Malika, Zura, Kira, Peutoa, Ovan, Lia, Murutha and Shenya did the same, they were all staring at Shin.

After sensing that something was weird, even Aria, Azane, Kali, Lola and Hath turned their gaze towards Shin.
