Chapter 698: Fall Out!
Chapter 698: Fall Out!
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
The others hadn't expected Ivan to be so resolute in his support of Marvin!
The Elven Sword in his hand let out a long, cheerful cry.
And the Sea Elven Queen also unhesitantly took out the Artifact-level Sea Emperor's Scepter. Her relationship with Ivan was very strange, but in name at least, Ivan was her man.
Those Ivan who wanted to protect were those who she wanted to protect as well.
The reason was as simple as that.
As for Jessica, she didn't feel like saying anything to that fickle group of people.
The girl who held the Power Ability among the Fate Sorceresses had never been one to yield to others' whims.
She held onto the Devil Magic Egg tightly, calmly using her Fate Power to check on Marvin's condition.
She was glad to discover that Marvin's condition didn't seem as bad as it had been a few moments ago.
When she first caught the Magic Egg, she had almost thought that he had died from the last blow from the Azure Snake!
Because his aura had completely disappeared.
But that vast amount of Chaos Power coming from all around assured her that Marvin was still alive.
And he was a lot better now.
She could the Devil Magic Egg bursting with boundless vitality.
It felt as if it was nurturing a new life.
Through the reaction between their Fate Imprints, she had a feeling that if Marvin could overcome this near-death situation, his strength could even reach a new level.
His strength had already reached the Half-Plane Guardian level. If he went one step further, what would happen?
This Legend who was still a youth, what heights could he reach?
Jessica, who had always been very confident in her own talent and strength, was very much looking forward to this.
Thus, she wouldn't allow Marvin to die here.
She didn't feel like making threats like Ivan had.
She only held Marvin and raised her head.
In an instant, a frightening Fate Power burst out in front of Connor!
"Rumble!"
A thunderous pillar of lightning ripped through the sky and crashed in the hall!
Despite Connor being a knowledgeable and experienced combatant, he was scared by Jessica's fierce and straightforward attack.
And if he hadn't managed to react quickly and dash a few steps back, he might have been burnt by that lightning!
Even if he used his Legend Domain to enhance his sturdy body and try to take it, although he probably wouldn't die, he would still be seriously injured!
Cold sweat trickled down his back.
The other powerhouses from Feinan that had voiced their objections felt a chill run down their spines.
Jessica's decisiveness made a few of them shrink back in fear!
Even the Divine Servants paled.
Attacking without a warning like that... were they not worried that Feinan's internal strife would be taken advantage of by some outsiders?
Unfortunately, they didn't know that phrase "backing down" wasn't in Jessica's vocabulary!
Fate Power gave her the strength to move forward.
She would always use this power to get rid of all unpleasant things.
In fact, she had already been showing some self-control with this pillar of lightning.
If it weren't for the fact that she was afraid that excessive use of Fate power might trigger a resonance in Marvin's body and exacerbate his injuries, she wouldn't have minded killing Connor directly!
Despite this, this attitude of not willing to yield at all shocked everyone.
Elven War Saint, Sea Elven Queen, Fate Sorceress.
And there was also the large and silent Dragon that was also at the Half-Plane Guardian level!
Any Legend that dared to take a step forward might instantly be burnt to death.
Perhaps if they swarmed them, they might have a chance to snatch away the incapacitated Marvin.
But some of them would definitely die!
The more powerful one was, the more afraid of death they were.
It was so for the Divine Servants and also for Feinan's powerhouses.
The scene immediately became awkward.
No one wanted to have to back off, but Marvin's injury was slowly getting better. This was a bad sign to a lot of them.
They felt their hearts ache.
To make a move, or to retreat?
They glanced around at each other, all trying to be cunning as they acted unconcerned, each waiting for someone else to make the first move.
They were all cursing the others as treacherous, scarcely realizing that they were doing the same thing.
Seeing this farce, Jessica showed a derisive smile. "Truly a bunch of cowards."
"Clearly drooling over the Fate Tablet like this, but not daring to come to get it."
Jessica's sneer angered much of the crowd.
But she wasn't wrong.
They truly didn't dare.
The powerhouses of the Astral Sea had finally gotten the chance to flex their muscles at the battle at the Sky Tower.
But they weren't as invincible as they thought they would be.
They were actually taught a lesson by Feinan's defenders!
Especially Marvin.
He slaughtered the small army that was gathered by the Gods despite being all alone, and then killed the Molten Archdevil's avatar….
All that was enough to create a legend.
At least in the hearts of the minor characters, that is.
An ant they thought that they could easily crush revealed itself to be a ruthless, fierce tiger, repeatedly stomping them down, and inspiring terror amongst them.
In order to overcome this fear...
In order to overcome their fear, they let themselves be guided by their faith.
But their faith couldn't directly make them stronger.
They were cowards.
There was nothing wrong with Jessica calling them cowards.
A deathly silence spread through the hall of the Sky Tower, only disturbed by the gentle breathing sounds of all those who had lusted after the Fate Tablet.
Suddenly, a change appeared once again at the entrance of the Ethereal Plane.
The shadows of the raging Twin Snakes could be seen on the other side of the seal.
Those huge bodies made the hearts of the onlookers quicken.
They were making some progress with their attacks on the Ethereal Plane's seal!
Although the Imprint of the Truth Scale had very versatile and pure Divine Power, in the end, it still wasn't the Truth Scale itself!
Who knew how long it could keep holding them back?
If the World Ending Twin Snakes broke through the seal, everyone present would face the consequences.
Some people were already starting to retreat.
As long as they wanted to, they could leave the Sky Tower at any time.
Shadows disappeared one after the other.
Only those still unwilling to leave the Fate Tablet still remained behind.
Connor looked at Marvin's body with great desire, but he clenched his teeth and finally prepared to leave.
But at that time, a small figure appeared in the midst of everyone.
Ivan and Professor displayed grave expressions.
On that girl's back were three Holy Swords.
Her gaze was fixed on Marvin, and her killing intent was conspicuously permeating the area.
"Wuuuu!" The three Holy Swords resonated.
The Valkyrie's inheritance really needed to be treated with caution.
Moreover, she wasn't alone.
Behind her was a man that was acting like an attendant. The latter smiled as he looked toward the group gathered around Marvin. "She said that as long as I help her get rid of Marvin, I will be released. Therefore, my apologies."
Jessica angrily shouted, "Eve! What are you trying to do?!"
