Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 84: Holy Light City
In the dark valley, cold light flashed continuously, and those dazed humans died in Marvin's hands without even a scream.
He had no choice but to do so.
This is the Blood Wasteland, one of the cruelest places in the multiverse . These humans have lost themselves, and they simply cannot survive here.
As Barrow said, the best option is to give them a quick death.
However, after the flash of the knife, the demon Barrow slowly opened his eyes and found that he was not dead.
Looking at Marvin who was quietly wiping the blade, Barrow showed a puzzled look.
"They were all people who had lost hope, so I killed them."
Marvin whispered, "But you're not."
"I am no longer a human being," Barrow said painfully.
"I don't care. I guess after all the loss of family and friends, no one cares, right?"
Marvin said solemnly: "In my opinion, your body is a miracle that you can survive in this land. The devil did something unforgivable to you, but I can feel that you are not an evil creature. There is a powerful force flowing in your body."
"I have no reason to kill you."
"You said you were once a general, so you should be strong enough. The death of some people is inevitable, and those who commit suicide are cowards after all."
Marvin looked Barrow in the eye and said, "This world is a cruel place. There are times when each of us feels that death is a relief."
"But, even if you have lost all reasons to live, you still have to live. There is no logic to this. Life is precious, and protecting precious life should be the most important quality that every human being should possess in their heart."
"Keep living. There is always hope."
Having said this, Marvin did not stay in the canyon any longer.
If Barrow wanted to commit suicide, he had no way to stop him. However, he did feel a strong force in his body.
It is a miracle in itself that this man overcame the power from the abyss with his own will.
Balkh created him, but he couldn't control him. Marvin had no interest in killing such a poor man.
Deep in the canyon, Barrow's eyes were still blank as he watched Marvin's departing back.
He knelt there for a long time without moving.
Finally, as night fell, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened.
Two minutes later, flames shot up into the sky and the entire canyon was completely engulfed in flames.
In the smoke, a tall figure could be vaguely seen dragging a broken sword and silently leaving the canyon.
No one knows where he will go; just like everyone walking in this world, there may be an abyss or a smooth road ahead of him, but we must keep going after all.
…
Eisengall.
An old wizard wearing a pince-nez looked at Marvin with surprise.
"Did you really kill Balkh?"
Marvin pushed the big devil's head on the table and said, "You can try the identification technique to see if this is the big devil's head."
The old wizard pushed his glasses and looked at Marvin meaningfully:
"Young man, you misunderstood me."
"It's not like there's no one in Eisengerd who can kill that demon. But no one has done it. You should know why."
Of course Marvin knew.
Balkh represents not only himself, but also his father, the lord who is quite famous in the abyss.
Lord Balkh is also an important existence in the abyss. Although he is not as powerful as the top demon lord, he is also a very powerful overlord.
The Bloody Wasteland is not Fenan, it is protected by the Cosmic Magic Pool.
There are gaps in time and space here, and a large number of forces from the abyss and purgatory have infiltrated here.
Forces from all corners of the universe are fighting for territory and resources. Although Balkh is working alone, it does not mean that he has no support.
Killing Balkh means trouble. So in Eisenge, even though there are many strong people, they just stand by and watch.
Only an outsider like Marvin who is eager to learn the details of the Bloody Wasteland would take on such a task.
But he was not afraid.
No matter how powerful Balkh's father is, he is at most slightly more powerful than Glenos. Is he stronger than the Dark Dragon God, the God of Dreams, and Tithomas whom he offended?
Anyway, he has already offended many powerful people in the heavenly kingdom and the evil spirit world , so it doesn’t matter if there is one more lord of the abyss.
This is a typical case of "the more debts you have, the less you worry." Marvin is not afraid of their revenge at all, he only cares about improving his own strength.
He believed that as long as his strength improved fast enough, when these gods and demons came knocking on his door, he would even be able to fight them head-on!
This is Marvin's confidence.
…
After completing the handover of the task with the old wizard, Marvin finally got the reward for the task as he wished.
Bloodstone is indeed extremely precious, but after looting a batch from Balkh, Marvin no longer values this little bit of bloodstone.
What he valued more were the two maps.
When you first arrive, information is the most important thing. Among all the information, maps are at the forefront.
Otherwise, if you walk around blindly, you will definitely get into trouble.
To be fair, the two maps given by the Isenger Camp were definitely reserved.
Many locations on the map are incomplete.
But overall it's pretty decent. Most dangerous places are marked with signs, and some important places also have general directions.
The world of Bloody Wasteland is very large. The world map divides the world into five parts. Each part is separated by long mountains. Isenger, where Marvin is located, is in the southernmost area.
This world map can't give Marvin much information, but the small map is much more detailed.
It records in detail the forces near Isengard, including the specific signs of hostile forces such as the Devil's Pond, the Dark Abyss, and the Mushroom City.
It is worth mentioning that as a human force, Eisengir still has cooperative forces nearby.
Walking north along the Dead Leaf Corridor, you will pass by the landmark of Black Swan Hill.
This is a major transportation hub, where a mysterious old man lives. He raises flocks of black swans and provides people with a service for transmitting information across dimensions.
These black swans are a very special species. It is said that they can travel through time and space, reach wherever you want to go, and transmit information.
It is said that there is a very powerful force inside Black Swan Hill, and no one dares to provoke it easily.
Therefore, some small settlements have formed near Black Swan Hill.
However, the mysterious old man had a strange personality and ignored the olive branches from other human forces.
The human territory that truly allied with Eisengir was another one, called [City of Holy Light].
And this Holy Light City is located in the northwest of Black Swan Hill.
"Holy Light City..."
"Isn't this the place where the archdruids said the demigod Minsk finally delivered the message to them?"
Marvin's eyes lit up and he immediately had a direction to move forward.
