Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 33: Sewer Entrance

After leaving the Thousand Leaves Forest, the Steel City is Marvin's first stop.

The territory of Fenan Continent is extremely vast, and everything south of the Millennium Mountains can be called the South.

However, the most important territory of the Southern Wizarding Alliance is the area south of the Millennium Mountains and north of the Thousand Leaves Forest.

This is an extremely open plain. Compared with this place, Pearl Harbor, Perch Harbor and Gem Bay in the southeast are like dessert after a main meal.

Countless wizard towers and tall and majestic cities once stood here.

But after the catastrophe, everything became ruins.

The wizards' flags fell tattered in the ruins, blood flowed everywhere, but the fighting continued.

As I said, in the face of this kind of natural disaster, people living in larger cities die faster.

On the contrary, the villagers in the mountains are far away from the wizards, so even if some animals are demonized, they can still deal with them with the intuition and means of the old hunters.

When Marvin arrived at the southern outskirts of the Steel City that day, he felt that the place was dead and gloomy.

Now, every few days, he felt the bloody smell here became stronger.

Die even claimed that the Golden-winged Griffin saw the Archon of the Underworld when flying over a mass grave.

This gave Marvin a chill.

When I was about to die, it seemed that the governor of the underworld wanted to take away my soul.

If people from the world of the dead also want to get involved, the trouble will be extremely serious.

After the cosmic magic pool is broken, a total of four forces will invade Fenan: the abyss, hell, evil spirits, and heaven.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these four forces don’t like each other.

The evil spirits are dissatisfied with everyone and are extremely filthy. They are disgusted by demons because they think they are brainless and a bunch of lunatics. The devils make them alert because high-level evil spirits know the devil's background. They are descendants of ancient angels and may betray their camp at any time.

The Abyss and Hell are mortal enemies. The thousand-year bloody battle at the bottom of the Endless Abyss and the Nine-layer Purgatory, the Bloody Wasteland, explains everything. When demons and devils meet, they fight to the death. There is no room for negotiation on this.

The gods in heaven and the above three forces are mortal enemies.

It is true that they joined forces to attack the Cosmic Demon Pool, but they did so to facilitate their own rule and were not prepared to turn Fenan into a place where demons roamed rampant.

The simultaneous entry of these four major forces has already caused chaos in Fenan.

If there is a fifth force in this universe that can rival them, it is the world of the dead.

The extreme Necromancer - the Lord of the Dead seems to be the spokesperson of the King of the Dead World in Fenan. He had summoned a large number of terrifying red corpse servants here before, and their fighting power surprised Marvin.

In Marvin's impression, the undead generally look scary, but their actual combat effectiveness is very average.

But the red corpse servant is different. This kind of undead can even eat the light of the four totem barriers, which shows how ferocious it is.

"I hope it's just Butterfly talking nonsense."

Ma Wen comforted himself in his heart.

In his impression, at least in this catastrophe, the monarchs of the world of the dead and the ancient gods of heaven chose the same absolute neutral position and did not seem to have any intention of interfering with Fenan.

…

Arriving in the Steel City, Marvin became more cautious.

It is true that the Golden-winged Griffin is powerful, but with the Cataclysm now underway, many flying monsters have probably evolved.

The closer you get to a big city, the more careful you have to be.

Butterflies don't have much fighting power, so once they encounter a group of monsters, they will have trouble escaping.

So he let the butterfly land in a small woods in the east of the Steel City.

Relying on his sense of the earth, he found a relatively safe place, asked the golden-winged griffin to protect the butterfly, and left the forest alone.

The Steel City is already quite dilapidated.

Ma Wen walked westward along the official road littered with corpses, his brows furrowed.

The roads were littered with disemboweled corpses, or some body parts covered with ice or ashes, and of course, some with sulfuric acid.

The former was killed by a demonized animal; the latter was obviously the work of a demonized wizard.

From the types of arcane energy remaining on these limbs, it can be seen that energy-shaping spells such as fire, ice, and sulfuric acid are still the favorites of wizards.

After all, its lethality is top-notch at low levels.

Marvin drove stealthily all the way , not wanting to get into trouble.

However, the demonic creatures roaming around the official road don't care about this.

The stealth that used to be as high as 200 points, enough to conceal the presence of gods, has lost its effect in front of some monsters!

They relied entirely on their killing instinct to catch Marvin.

However, Marvin did not get entangled with them. He used spells such as Shadow Escape continuously and directly got rid of the monsters.

Generally speaking, only a few monsters can detect Marvin's aura.

As for the demonized wizards, they were originally able to find Marvin - after all, the wizards' reconnaissance magic was still very powerful, especially when the cosmic magic pool collapsed, the chaos magic had a great bonus to every kind of magic.

It’s a pity that they have lost their brains and can only cast spells randomly. Marvin just needs to dodge them carefully.

What's more, it was said that Constantine killed a large number of wizards here with the Wind Shining in his hand, which resulted in the wizards in the Iron City being less dense than Marvin had imagined.

This is a blessing.

…

The main reason for his trip to the Steel City was to develop the territory.

Weapons and food are the most abundant items in big cities.

Especially the former, as the city that produces the most weapons in the Southern Wizarding Union, the City of Steel must have a large number of sophisticated military weapons.

Marvin knew about a group of them. It was a secret warehouse and also an invisible shelter.

“I don’t know if there is anyone still alive in that shelter.”

"The catastrophe came so suddenly, there shouldn't be many people who can react to it, right?"

Marvin muttered to himself.

He walked along the messy streets.

At the street corner, several crows were ruthlessly eating the carrion of a middle-aged man.

They didn't even look at Marvin when he passed by.

At this moment, a fireball as big as a washbasin came crashing down, smashing the corpse and the crow into pieces!

Flames splashed everywhere, almost blowing Marvin out from stealth.

It was an expressionless demonized wizard.

After he casually threw a big fireball, he seemed to be not satisfied yet and started using lightning storm like a madman!

Seeing that something was wrong, Ma Wen quickly sped away.
