Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 116 Corpse King
Marvin's movements were so fast that by the time everyone reacted, they were all shocked.
Originally, the soldiers and nobles of River Beach City all thought that Marvin was a kind of lover kept by Madeline.
When Marvin got into Madeline's carriage, they were still very disgusted.
The appearance of the Magic Holy Grail made some people realize: this is why the city lord valued this country nobleman.
River Beach City was also well-informed, and news about Marvin's performance in the Holy Grail War had gradually spread along the East Coast.
However, since wizards have always been the protagonists in every Holy Grail battle, most people understood the rumors about Marvin as deliberate hype.
They would rather believe that it was the outstanding performance of Marvin's younger brother Winnie that allowed the brother duo to obtain the supreme honor of the Magic Holy Grail.
So although they had some understanding of Marvin's presence in the team and his importance to Madeline, most people still didn't take this rural lord seriously. After all, although Marvin was wearing two swords, he looked too thin.
A year of blacksmithing gave him some muscles, but compared with those strong warriors or knights, he was too thin.
Coupled with his slightly handsome face, it is inevitable that some people with dirty minds will have wild fantasies about him.
Only at this moment did everyone have a new understanding of Marvin's strength!
25 points of super-long agility and fleeting qualities are not something that everyone can possess!
…
Among the Guardian Knights, Guderian chopped off the head of a corpse seeker with one sword, and when he turned around he saw Marvin's breathtaking speed!
“This guy…”
"It's him indeed!"
Guderian had an impression of Marvin when they had joined forces to fight the Plague Messenger in the basement. A mask could not conceal the perception of the Guardian Knight.
He was also a little surprised when he saw Marvin appear next to Madeline.
But what surprised him was that Marvin's strength improved so quickly.
If he remembered correctly, when Marvin faced the Plague Messenger that night, his strength was still around the first level.
"Now he is actually already level ten!"
"And it looks like he could break through to the third level at any time. How is this possible!?"
"How could there be such a genius in this world?"
Guderian was almost stunned, and the corpse seeker on the side found a gap and attacked him.
Fortunately, a teammate next to him helped him resist for a while, and the other party shouted: "Boss, what are you doing?"
Guderian reacted hastily and stopped looking at Marvin. Instead, he gritted his teeth and concentrated on dealing with these hateful corpse seekers.
He is also a guardian knight favored by the God of Silver!
He has been lingering at the peak of the second level for a long time.
I believe that after this training in the Scarlet Monastery, I will be able to advance to the third level with the blessing of the Silver God when I return!
Guderian held his breath and attacked even more fiercely!
In an instant, a gap was created in the corpse-seekers' camp!
…
On the other side, Marvin stood steadily on the coffin.
boom!
With a dull sound, the stone coffin fell to the ground with a thud, stirring up a large amount of dust. Marvin jumped back without changing his expression, and landed silently.
At the same time, the shadow clone took his place, still crawling on top of the coffin.
This move couldn't be more skillful.
Everyone who had been paying attention to the battlefield began to shift their attention to Marvin.
The battle between the corpse seekers and the soldiers is actually nothing to watch.
Although these guys are not afraid of death, they are destined to be wiped out due to their advantages in numbers and levels.
What makes them curious is what this seemingly brave Baron Marvin wants to do?
There is obviously an elite-level character in this huge sarcophagus. Does he want to destroy him by himself?
"Reckless or brave? I'd like to see if this Baron Marvin is the most outstanding young ranger in the south as the legend says."
Among a group of people dressed in mysterious clothes, a man wearing a cloak and black clothes whispered.
These people are special helpers hired by Madeline, and they will only take action when Madeline asks them to.
Compared to ordinary mercenaries, they seem more mysterious.
"No need to say more. I think he's dead." A man with a purple mask beside him said disdainfully: "A second-level ranger challenges a monster that is at least third-level. Isn't the result of this kind of thing obvious?"
"Let's make a bet." The cloaked man laughed softly, "If he kills that monster, you'll give me your latest little blood slave."
"Humph, I knew you had bad intentions." The man in the purple mask sneered, "What do you want in exchange?"
"Ancestor's fangs." The cloaked man said concisely.
"Deal." said the masked man.
He was confident about this. He had done research on this sarcophagus.
What's inside is not just an ordinary corpse seeker. It's a corpse king!
The opponent's vitality is extremely strong. If you want to kill it, you must have excellent endurance.
The masked man was certainly not an idiot, he had long seen through Marvin's approach: the dual-blade ranger, who specialized in close combat and burst attacks.
The corpse king has no vital parts on its body. Even if Marvin took off its head, it would probably still be alive and kicking.
Kill the corpse king alone?
This is definitely not something a second-level ranger can do.
"The fangs of our ancestors are mine." The masked man was confident of victory.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that compared to ordinary dual-blade rangers, Marvin's biggest advantage was his experience!
…
As a fourteen year old ranger, not many people would expect Marvin to have much combat experience.
However, the Corpse King of the Scarlet Monastery was an old acquaintance to Marvin.
He went through the dungeon many times with the group, and although he was always stuck at the fourth hall, he cleared the first few halls easily.
Among them, the Lord Corpse King was defeated by Ma Wen himself in single combat.
Marvin knew this corpse king very well!
"Left foot first or right foot first?"
"The left foot is poisonous mist, and the right foot is [bandage wrapped]..."
Marvin squatted behind the coffin, thinking boredly.
Through the shadow clone, he can share the vision and clearly see the movements of the corpse king in the coffin.
Puff puff puff…
There was a sound of heavy dust falling.
Marvin looked carefully—
It's the left foot! That's the poisonous fog!
Sure enough, as the Corpse King took a step forward, a large amount of poisonous fog appeared around the edge of his tall figure!
This poisonous fog will not spread, but will only surround the edge of the corpse king's body about half a meter.
Even so, this is also a very troublesome ability!
Because this poisonous fog is extremely terrifying, once contaminated, if you do not receive timely divine treatment, you will die immediately!
But Marvin has a trick!
"Hiding behind the sarcophagus will automatically make you immune to the poisonous fog!" Ma Ben's true self hid behind and began to control the shadow clone.
So, under the surprised gaze of everyone, the shadow clone suddenly jumped up from the sarcophagus!
He actually pounced directly on the corpse king!
…
"Is this guy going to die?"
Someone exclaimed.
Marvin's action of switching between shadow clones just now was so clever that many people did not see it clearly and thought that the man lying on the coffin was Marvin himself.
Only a very few people saw clearly that Marvin secretly changed his clone.
"It's a clone." The masked man frowned.
Obviously, Marvin's actions were beyond his expectations.
What does this guy want to do?
Even if it was a clone, there was no need to throw himself on the corpse king and die, right? There was no need to waste this clone, right?
"clever."
The cloaked man next to him exclaimed in admiration.
"Smart?" The masked man was stunned for a moment, and the next second, Marvin's shadow clone immediately gave him the answer!
…
The shadow clone was holding two extremely sharp knives.
This kind of knife is far from enough to kill people, but it is sharp enough and is very convenient for cutting ropes and the like!
The moment the shadow clone pounced on the corpse king, his knife had already been used!
Bang!
A crack appeared at the most vulnerable part of the shroud wrapped around the corpse king.
Surrounded by poisonous fog, the shadow clone's health dropped sharply.
Marvin, who was squatting behind the coffin, smiled slightly.
run!
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, the shadow clone suddenly grabbed a broken shroud and ran away!
Although the shadow clone only has half of Marvin's attributes, it is still very fast.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed out more than ten meters!
The Corpse King was caught off guard and immediately lost some of his balance. He was pulled and turned around for a small circle before he stopped the trend with his own powerful strength.
And at this moment, the poisonous fog broke out and the shadow clone also died!
But all this created an opportunity.
A small exposed area appeared behind the corpse king, approximately around the neck.
The area was bare of rotting flesh, unprotected by the shroud .
In Marvin's eyes, this is the biggest flaw.
His body suddenly rose from where he was and jumped directly onto the coffin.
The next second, a lead syringe appeared in his hand!
This syringe has a diameter of about five centimeters. It is a product of alchemy and is also sold by major guilds. The syringe has an extremely fine needle tip. Unlike the syringes on Earth that are used to save people and treat diseases, in Fenan, this thing is used to kill people!
Assassins filled it with poison and used it to stab the enemy's body, allowing the poison to quickly spread to every corner of the enemy's body.
But Marvin used it to deal with the Corpse King.
The poisonous fog was floating around, and Marvin seized the opportunity, suddenly attacked, and threw the syringe out!
At such a close distance, the syringe easily pierced into the exposed area of the corpse king.
Bang!
The needle was inserted. The corpse king sensed something was wrong and turned around slowly.
Unfortunately, Marvin jumped over mercilessly.
He flipped in the air and stepped hard on the back end of the syringe with his right foot.
In an instant, all the liquid in the copper syringe was injected into the corpse king's body in one breath!
Marvin quickly dodged.
And the next moment, the Corpse King’s painful wails spread throughout the entire First Hall!
"What did he put in the syringe!" the cloaked man couldn't help but mutter!
This is what other people want to know.
What's in the syringe?
Everyone looked at the Corpse King in confusion as he suffered so much.
Only the old fox Collins looked at Marvin who was hiding aside with a smile, as if he knew everything.
