brush!

In an instant, Marvin's eyes turned blood red.

Countless data records flashed by on the data panel in the upper right corner of the retina.

Marvin's brain was instantly hit by a wave of pain, and he almost fainted on the spot!

Fortunately, he had a strong will and gritted his teeth to hold on.

"Glenos!"

He roared in a low voice, turned around suddenly, and slashed forward fiercely with rage!

The Shadow Prince succeeded in his attack and showed a smug smile. Facing Marvin's fierce scimitar, he naturally would not confront him head-on.

Just kidding, he is an assassin and the opponent is a ranger. He has no advantage in a head-on confrontation.

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Shadow Prince's figure was as fast as lightning and disappeared in the small courtyard in the blink of an eye!

Nuonuo's face turned pale, and Oran, who was standing beside him, just reacted and broke out in a cold sweat!

The short sneak attack just now did not last very long, but it caused great harm to Marvin!

…

"Fortunately... it's already the fourth level!"

The fourth-level Night Walker gained the ability to be immune to lethal damage!

Although the dagger pierced Marvin's heart and caused him great harm, it still did not kill Marvin.

Two-thirds of his health was taken away directly.

Marvin's face was extremely pale, and cold sweat was oozing out on his forehead.

Severe pain is not the most important thing.

The most terrifying thing is that he was stabbed by [Dusk]!

Anyone stabbed by Dusk will be instantly infected with twelve horrible curses!

Not to mention that Marvin’s current physical condition is very bad, and the Shadow Prince definitely hasn’t left. Even if he succeeds in one strike and escapes far away, Marvin will be in great trouble!

"Master Marvin!"

"Your hand!"

Nono exclaimed.

But Marvin's left hand showed signs of petrification.

Marvin frowned.

The first curse, petrification.

This is easy to say.

After Constantine dismembered the red dragon, he found some alchemy masters and made several bottles of potions, including anti-petrification potion!

The dragon's resistance to petrification is still very high.

At this critical moment, Marvin took out the anti-petrification potion without hesitation and gulped it down!

I drank the whole bottle in one go!

There was no other way. Since it was a matter of life and death, Marvin couldn't care less about the waste.

What's more, he has half a dozen of these potions on him!

As the bitter potion poured into his body, a surge of power emanated from every part of his body.

Miraculously, his left hand began to heal.

However, Marvin's expression remained serious.

This is just a delay, and Dusk has more than just the [Petrification] curse.

According to Marvin's experience of fighting the Shadow Prince in his previous life, after being hurt by Dusk, the interval between the first round of curse outbreaks is one hour.

This means that every hour, a curse will appear. Because you can't predict what curse will come out next, so in many cases, once a mortal is harmed by dusk, it means death!

[Dusk] has always been the artifact that the dirty assassins dream of. Stab once and then walk away, and then watch the enemy die from the curse, this is the fun of Glenos.

But today, he didn't seem to be leaving.

The hellhound kept barking.

He seemed to be able to sense that the Shadow Prince had not left.

Marvin looked at every corner of the courtyard with a gloomy expression.

The sky gradually darkened. Master Orlan had already opened his barrier, covering Marvin and Nono.

The golden arcane barrier seemed indestructible, but Marvin knew that it would be too easy for the Shadow Prince to cross the barrier and assassinate him again.

You must be careful and guard yourself.

This could turn into a long tug-of-war - but that's not what Marvin wants to see.

Because the longer the time goes on, the more frequent the curse will erupt; after the first round of curse outbreaks, it will erupt every half an hour!

Then the time becomes shorter and shorter. Theoretically - if you can hold on to the end, the twelve curses will erupt at the same time!

In this situation, even the Archdruid was too late to save them.

I'm afraid only the ancient gods of nature or the chosen ones of the Lord of Dawn can solve the twelve curses at the same time and save a mortal's life.

However, these two ancient gods have fallen into a deep sleep, and it is difficult to find their believers, let alone the voters.

"Glenos wants to kill me..."

Marvin felt the wound on his back bleeding continuously. His whole body was cold and his muscles were stiff.

His eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

He had already opened his ears a long time ago, and everything around him was under his control.

"I was still careless... I didn't expect Glenos to do it himself just to save face."

"In that case, let's keep his little bit of divine essence."

A hint of cruelty flashed in Ma Wen's eyes.

He could not sense the existence of the Shadow Prince. Although the other party was estimated to be only level 18, his stealth ability was extremely powerful.

But at the same time, the Shadow Prince may not be able to find Marvin's stealth!

"Perhaps I can make use of this aspect..." Marvin thought secretly in his heart.

The next second, Marvin nodded to Orlan.

His figure disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Shadow Escape!

The hellhound barked twice anxiously, but still obeyed Marvin's instructions and stayed within the barrier obediently.

Outside the barrier, it was completely dark.

…

When it gets dark, it's time for the night walkers to appear!

Marvin hid in a corner, bandaged his wound hastily, and then quickly went into stealth mode.

But his stealth was actually a bait.

Relying on perception alone, the Shadow Prince would definitely not be able to find Marvin who possessed the Erickson Brooch.

But don't forget, Marvin was hit by the Shadow Prince!

"We can only lure the snake out of its hole..."

Ma Wen smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do about it.

He had to act quickly.

Because the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Marvin.

The first curse is petrification, but Marvin has potions to resist it.

What is the second curse?

The names of curses flashed through Marvin's mind, the Twelve Curses of Dusk, each of which was enough to kill a mortal.

If Marvin did not have devil blood and divinity, he would have died long ago.

In his impression, six of the twelve curses were: petrification, black death, crystallization, bleeding, poison, and alienation.

Marvin didn't know about the other six, because in his previous life, he only lasted four hours at most and died several times, and he only witnessed these six curses.

He hasn't had the chance to see the remaining six.

But the first six alone are enough to give you a headache.

"I hope the next attack will be bleeding or poisonous..."

As Ma Wen sneaked forward, his heart was beating fast.

If it was these two curses, he still had a way to deal with them. Bleeding meant that the wound would never heal, and life would be lost at more than three times the bleeding speed.

He has a way to deal with this. He has a large amount of hemostatic potions, bandages, and healing ointments, which can barely maintain the speed of the curse outbreak. As for the poison, Marvin's resistance to poison is still very high, and he also has a lot of detoxification potions, which should be able to delay it for a while.

If it was [Alienation], [Black Death] or [Crystallization], Marvin would be in a lot of trouble.

[Alienation] means that his body will mutate into something strange - it could be partial alienation or total alienation!

He might turn into a toad or something...

[Crystallization] is a more terrifying curse. His body will slowly turn into crystals and finally turn into powder.

[Black Death] is an instant death curse, named so because when a person dies, spider-web-like black threads will spread from the heart to other places.

Any of the above three types would be difficult for Marvin to solve now!

"I'm afraid the only way to survive is to return to Fenan!"

In the critical moment, Marvin forced himself to remain calm.

He had urgently called the nine dark guards, all of whom had gathered in the inner court of the palace. At the same time, he urged Archmage Orlan to speed up the construction of the plane lighthouse through their mouths.

If it really doesn't work, just give a clear coordinate here. With Hathaway's intelligence, she should think that something happened to Marvin.

There will be many solutions by then.

Thinking of this, Ma Wen felt a little relieved.

He still has nearly an hour to find the Shadow Prince and kill him before the second curse takes effect!

Although he was fighting with injuries, Marvin was confident in himself. As long as Glenos was caught, he would definitely not be his opponent under the cover of night!

…

The royal capital looked eerie and quiet under the night sky.

The emergency curfew issued from the palace caused panic among the people.

The entire street was cleared.

Glenos hid in the dark, with a cunning look in his eyes.

He could feel that faint presence still lingering nearby.

"I didn't expect him to be immune to lethal damage and survive the first round of the curse."

"A ranger actually has such a high stealth that even my perception can't detect it. He must have something good on him."

"What a shame, what a shame. I'm afraid you don't know that people who are harmed by Dusk will not only be tested by the curse, but will also retain the breath of Dusk."

"Although I can't sense your whereabouts, I can lock onto the breath of dusk!"

Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed in Glenos' eyes.

"Such a powerful ranger, and a night walker, what will happen if he becomes a legend?"

"We must strangle him completely before he grows up!"

His movements were light and graceful, and he slowly approached the breath.

…

In the darkness, Marvin crept slowly, his eyes also full of confidence.

He naturally knew that his stealth could not hide from the Shadow Prince; he did this only to lure him into the trap.

This time he was prepared, and he would not be as embarrassed as last time when facing the Shadow Prince's sneak attack.

"Glenos, if you dare to attack me, I will leave you in this plane!"

Marvin was completely furious!

On the streets of the royal capital, two people were walking one in front and one behind, each with their own thoughts.
