Marvin had his eyes locked on Shin, but he could clearly see that he was being protected by a lot of people. Some of them were Humans, others were different animal species, but in Marvin’s eyes, they were all weaklings.
After having thought about it for a moment, Marvin did think it would be best to get what he wanted without a pointless fight, therefore he opened his mouth and said.
“If you give me that child, I will let the rest of you live.”
“Are you some kind of retard or something?”
The first one to reply was Kali with harsh words.
“We didn’t leave before this and you think you can make us? I thought that the all might ‘Gods’ were smart, but it looks like after having lived for so long, your brain turned into mush.”
Marvin gritted his teeth as he glared coldly at Kali.
“How dare you a mere mortal talk to me like that!?”
“Kali, even if an idiot was a God, it’s still an idiot after all.”
Aria stepped forward and mocked Marvin’s intelligence. Also, while taunting Marvin, Aria glanced at Laura while slightly narrowing her eyes.
“I have to say that these two young ladies have spoken our minds, we will not let you, a mere idiotic God near Master.”
Ker’Vrak spoke with a smirk on his face, he knew that it would be best if they could make their enemy unable to calm down, which would lead to making crucial mistakes during a battle.
“Then all of you must die!”
Marvin gnashed his teeth as he bared the taunts of these mere mortals repeatedly.
Marvin turned his head and glanced at the white-haired man and Laura, weirdly enough, he had never known the name of the white-haired man or spoken with him.
“You, go and fight them.”
Marvin ordered the white-haired male with a deep voice.
“Me?”
The white-haired male pointed towards himself with a sneer.
“Yes you, now go and fight!”
Marvin ordered once again, but this time while narrowing his eyes.
“I honestly thought that those mortals were making a weird remark about the Gods in general. Oh, about them being dumb. But, it seems like they were right, you are dumber than I thought, and it is really embarrassing, haha.”
The white-haired male laughed as she sneered while glaring at Marvin.
“How dare you?! I am Lord Marvin, ruler of the top echelon of Heaven!”
Marvin spoke coldly as he was angered by the ‘weak’ God in front of him.
“Oh, like I didn’t know that, thank you for telling me.”
The white-haired male snickered as he slowly opened his mouth to speak.
“Do you even know who I am?”
Not even letting anyone think about it, he continued speaking.
“My name is Gin’Iro, I once had a dear younger brother named Kuugo, but I bet you didn’t know that.”
“What does that have to do with me if you had a brother or not?!”
Marvin started to fume as he glared at Gin’Iro.
“I told you to fight them and you must do it!”
Gin’Iro ignored Marvin as he continued to speak.
“My dear younger brother died because of your scheme. Do you think that I would help you?”
Gin’Iro sneered once again as he glared at Marvin.
“So what?”
Marvin thought that everyone’s dispensable if he could get what he wanted.
“I won’t bother with you any longer, Laura, go and bring me their heads!”
Gin’Iro shook his head, but he narrowed his eyes slightly while staring at Marvin. Gin’Iro knew that Marvin wouldn’t let things go that easily, and his own goal was to kill Marvin, hehe…
Laura stood there absentmindedly staring at Shin, Aria and the rest. She bit her lips as she forced herself to walk forward.
“Why are you hesitating!?”
Marvin barked towards Laura this time, he had enough with these incompetent pawns.
“I was the one who saved you back then, your life is mine. Even if I told you to die, you are supposed to kill yourself without any hesitation. Now I am ordering you to kill them!”
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
Laura lowered her head as she bit her teeth together with a lot of force, almost making them crack. She stepped forward, walking towards Marvin step by step.
After Laura stood in front of Marvin, she tried her best to open her mouth and speak calmly, but her voice was hoarse.
“I, I can’t…”
Not even letting Laura continue speaking, Marvin smacked Laura with his right hand, making Laura’s body smack down to the ground.
“You piece of trash, I knew that you wouldn’t make a good pawn!”
After having said this, Marvin flicked his finger and grabbed a spear before throwing it towards Laura.
Laura widened her eyes when she saw the spear being hurled towards her body, and all that she could feel was being pierced by the spear. The spear had pierced Laura’s stomach, it pained her and Laura’s whole body trembled, but she was still conscious.
“You…!”
Aria couldn’t take it any longer, she wanted to raise her sword and slash Marvin into pieces. But, Aria knew that it was a dumb idea, therefore she refrained doing it with all her might.
“Haha. Right, I remember that she was keeping an eye on you for a very long time. How does it feel being betrayed by one of your nearest servants?”
Marvin laughed loudly as he glared at Aria with a mocking gaze.
“Betrayal?”
Aria shook her head slightly and pointed towards Laura.
“She did not betray me. It seems like you forced Laura, if you weren’t acting in the dark, she would have stayed with us.”
“Humph…! Mortals with their naïve thinking!”
Marvin snorted before slowly walking towards Shin.
“Like I will let you harm my Liege!”
Bayoun roared as he pounced towards Marvin.
Following behind Bayoun, followed Ovan with his shield, Mekina in her phoenix form, Kali with her scythe in hand, Ker’Vrak in his wolf form, Aria with a silver sword in her hand and lastly, Kira.
“Punks!”
Marvin yelled in a low voice before sending his aura to push away the annoying ‘flies’.
“Hehe, you’re a fun idiot, aren’t you?”
Aria laughed coldly as she continued stepping forward towards Marvin even when she was being shoved by back Marvin’s aura.
“Don’t let your guard down. Murutha, stay on the side and act whenever you see fit. Lia, Zura, Malika, Gladius, Shenya, Peutoa, Valkyrie chick, Elf girl, Hath and Anaj, protect Shin if Marvin manages to somehow pass us.”
Ker’Vrak spoke hastily as he set his eyes on Marvin and Gin’Iro.
Suddenly, Gin’Iro started moving. He had a smirk on his face as he coated his hands in a silver aura.
“Is it time for me to begin too?”
After Gin’Iro finished speaking, he pounced forward towards Marvin.
“You traitor…!”
Marvin roared when he sensed Gin’Iro pouncing towards him.
“Hahaha, you are calling me a traitor?”
Gin’Iro laughed as he punched towards Marvin with fast pace.
“Humph!”
Marvin evaded each of Gin’Iro’s punch, but he was rather surprised by Gin’Iro’s raw strength.
“Hehe, did you forget about us?”
A grey wolf stood right behind Marvin, Ker’Vrak had his paw raised and wanted to claw Marvin with his sharp claws.
Ker’Vrak’s speed has too fast, Marvin could only glance at the claws going through his robe and skin, leaving a clawing mark with blood gushing out.
Before Marvin could retaliate against Ker’Vrak, a fierce flame was blown towards him from the phoenix.
“Guh!”
Marvin gritted his teeth as he resisted the flames with his aura.
“Take this punch of mine!”
Bayoun roared as he punched towards Marvin’s back.
“Bang!”
A boom resounded out in the whole area, it was almost like two metal mountains crashing against each other.
Bayoun snorted as he sensed his fist was broken, but he sneered when he saw his fist making an injury on Marvin’s back.
The Gods aren’t that strong…!
“Work together, don’t hesitate to retreat if you feel in danger!”
Ker’Vrak’s voice sounded out as he kept on attacking Marvin. Ker’Vrak swiftly glanced at Gin’Iro.
“Gin’Iro, how long can you support at the front?”
“Alone, five minutes.”
Gin’Iro had cold sweat running down his back while he was fighting Marvin, but he wasn’t worried at all.
“With you guys as support, for a long time!”
“Keep on it, don’t be reckless!”
Ker’Vrak warned as he continued to injure Marvin’s unprotected back.
“A swarm of insects!”
Marvin roared as he ignored everyone’s attack, Marvin turned towards Shin and threw his sword with all his might.
“Block it!”
Ker’Vrak roared as he saw the sword flying towards Shin.
Hath was the first one to act, he stepped forward and used his sword to clash with Marvin’s sword. But, Hath’s sword got sliced into two at the impact. Hath’s face turned pale as he tried to stop the sword with his own hands, only to see the sword passing by his body at an unbelievable speed.
Anaj was the next one to act, he was already in front of Shin’s body. He had a soft smile on his face as he stared at the sword flying towards him with a mocking gaze.
Everyone was shocked that Anaj would stand in front of Shin, Anaj was one of the weakest in the group.
Aria’s face went ashen as she tried to rush towards Shin.
“Don’t, let him!.”
Ker’Vrak yelled out as he knew that Anaj was stronger than he could imagine.
“Haha, die you brat!”
Marvin laughed as he saw that only a ‘brat’ in the Throne Stage dared to stand in his sword’s path.
Anaj slowly raised his index finger towards the sword, still without any worries.
“Thud…”
A weak noise sounded out and everyone was in disbelief as they stared at the sword shatter when it met with Anaj’s index finger…
