Chapter 581: Evenly Matched
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Leader of the Crimson Road, the Legend advancement class of the Outlaw of the Crimson Road!
This was a very cruel class. Just like the advancement to Outlaw of the Crimson Road required the sacrifice the people of a village in order to gather [Bloody Points], advancing to the Legend realm would also come with many savage prerequisites.
The only way for them get stronger was to keep walking along this sinister path!
Killing more people!
The Leader of the Crimson Road in front of Marvin was at least a hundred years old. He looked young at first glance, but there were some subtle wrinkles.
This was the power of time. Even Legends couldn't resist it.
And his identity was also far from simple.
He was wearing a Crimson Road medallion at his abdomen. Ordinary Outlaws of the Crimson Road wouldn't dare be so arrogant, but those that had reached the Legend realm often would.
This medallion was invisible to the average person, and its attributes were extremely good. Leaders of the Crimson Road all had the Slaughter Domain along with its associated advantages.
'This guy killed at least ten thousand people…'
Marvin silently read the marks on the medal.
According to his understanding of the Crimson Road, those marks recorded the glory of the Leader of the Crimson Road's kills. But to Marvin, that was just unscrupulously ruthless.
Because this class of maniacal killers had so many requirements, many Leaders of the Crimson Road had to target a lot of commoners.
They massacred the unarmed elderly and children rather than powerful Demons or Devils.
They used the principle of making up for lack of quality with greater quantity in their pursuit of the Legend realm, soaking their hands in the blood of innocents!
This kind of Legend... Marvin would kill them whenever he saw them!
Nothing he did to them would be too much!
Moreover, this Leader of the Crimson Road was blocking his way to Sodom's Blades!
Marvin held his breath and his movements suddenly became extremely subtle.
This was a kind of stealthing footwork used to coil around his target's back that he recently comprehended by fusing Constantine's Demon Steps and his previous gaming experience.
Each step would be at the perfect location.
He cautiously probed the Leader of the Crimson Road's senses.
He knew that it would be hard to get too close. The Leader of the Crimson Road was also a rogue and his perception was definitely outstanding.
Although his Stealth was very high, he couldn't be careless.
However, the guy seemed to have his attention focused on the dying Arachnee, apparently unaware that there was one more person in the cave.
...
"You people will never be able to disturb the Bloody Emperor's peaceful rest."
"Those who trespass into Devil Town would be turned to ashes by the fury of the Bloody Emperor!"
Despite being subjected to the Leader of the Crimson Road's torture, the old Arachnee remained extremely stubborn.
He wasn't willing to yield.
Marvin inwardly sighed.
From the looks of it, this old Arachnee was probably one of the few that remained of his tribe.
Marvin guessed that he was the tribe's leader, with the key to Devil Town in his possession.
But just because the Black Knight's group didn't have the key, it didn't mean that they wouldn't be able to get in. The only thing was that it would be much more difficult if they couldn't use the main entrance.
After all, Devil Town had been personally established by the Bloody Emperor before he died to prevent thieving robbers from disturbing his rest.
The Bloody Emperor had made countless enemies during his life, from the Gods to the commoners, there was no one that didn't hate him.
So of course he feared that his body would be defiled after his death, and established Devil Town to prevent this.
He eventually finished it, and for so many years, no one found the entrance to his tomb.
If not for Marvin's knowledge from the game, he wouldn't have dared to come to that tyrant's grave.
...
"Bloody Emperor? You are talking about that dead guy?"
The leader of the Crimson Road's expression seemed somewhat impatient and condescending as he sneered, "You think that without your key, we won't be able to advance through Devil Town?"
"You saw our strength. A Temple Raider, a Tomb Raider, Feinan's most powerful grave robbers gathered in front of Devil Town, waiting to begin."
"If you don't hand over the key, they will just force their way in."
After saying this, he narrowed his eyes and added, "I suppose I should feel sorry for such a pitiful being, or should I say, waste?"
"Your ancestor was defeated and became the Bloody Emperor's subordinate! The Bloody Emperor might have even slept with your ancestor's wife, and today, his descendants are still stupid enough to guard that despot's tomb."
"Is that kind of scum worth it?"
The old Arachnee suddenly started struggling in anger. "I won't allow you to insult the Emperor!"
The Leader of the Crimson Road laughed.
But at that moment, a cold blade plunged toward his head!
He reacted shockingly quickly, stooping down and throwing himself forward!
Marvin's attack missed but he immediately pursued, but the Leader of the Crimson Road managed to support himself with his hands against the ground as he kicked backward!
Marvin dodged sideways as he slashed again with his curved daggers!
"Clang!"
Marvin's daggers didn't meet the Leader of the Crimson Road's body, but his blades!
"There is actually someone that can sneak within ten meters of me…"
The Leader of the Crimson Road licked his tongue, showing a fanatical bloodthirsty expression!
Marvin knew that this was a Legend Skill of the Leader of the Crimson Road!
That skill was able to turn him into a robotically precise killer that couldn't be influenced by fear or other such inhibitions.
Marvin originally thought he would be able to get a small advantage from the sneak attack, but it hadn't. The other side's physical abilities and Blade Techniques should be among those the top few rogues in Feinan!
"Clang! Clang!"
Marvin thought no further of what could have been and continued his offensive!
There was no need for superfluous words.
Black Knight Sangore had a small team, while Marvin was alone. They would definitely be obstacles to his goal in Devil Town.
Now that Marvin had managed to find one of them all alone, he would naturally try to get rid of him!
Thinking of this, his attacks became increasingly fiercer.
The two fought all over the area, crazily attacking and defending, closing the distance and widening it. The echoes of the weapons' collisions rang out, each exchange sounding extremely thrilling!
But the two knew that they were both only probing.
The two hadn't used any real effort yet.
After the initial blows they exchanged, Marvin felt somewhat shocked.
That Leader of the Crimson Road was really powerful!
More importantly, there was something Marvin was certain of. He had also entered the [Godly Dexterity] realm!
Their Dexterity was evenly matched.
Marvin had all kinds of bonuses from items and equipment, while the Leader of the Crimson Road had many treasures and also got some bonuses from killing so many people, but they seemed to even out.
As for the other fields, the more the two fought, the more surprised they became!
They were mirroring each other!
Reaction speed, movement speed, and the fierceness of their battle techniques...
They were very similar in all fields. Their classes were different so they had different skills.
But in this duel between Legend rogues, they were still so closely matched.
His blood began to boil!
'Good, it's been a while since I met a decent opponent.'
