Chapter 519: Hunt
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The sky was getting darker.
The people in the wilderness were looking at each other in dismay. No one knew how to get out of that frightening situation.
Marvin even saw many Shrines’ powerhouses, including those on the level of Divine Servants!
‘The Dream Shrine’s people?’
Marvin was a bit surprised.
It seemed that some people from the Dream Shrine had been carrying out a mission. It didn’t look like they were working together with the Dream Guardians that had been pursuing him.
Two familiar faces appeared in Marvin’s sight.
They were Paladin Griffin and the little girl he was carrying on his back.
He really did go and look for the Dream Shrine.
But why were they also here?
Marvin looked at the others, and the others also looked around at those nearby. These normally intimidating powerhouses looked very weak under the voice’s pressure.
Right now, time seemed to pass extremely slowly.
Marvin didn’t know how much time had passed before a gray storm rose up in the wilderness.
The storm frantically split apart and turned into small-scale vortexes.
These vortexes scattered and crashed into everyone.
Each had a powerful gravitational pull and the people simply couldn’t resist. They were all sucked in!
And so was Marvin.
As the gray vortex approached Marvin, he only felt his body being crushed before being dragged into some sort of space!


When he regained consciousness, the terrifying singing voice had already disappeared.
Marvin discovered that he was in a pitch-black place.
There was no sound, and the floor was icy cold.
But due to Darksight, he was able to see that it was a sealed room.
The room was quite special. It seemed to be wooden, yet extremely solid. Marvin reached out to touch the wall.
It felt rather soft.
‘Where is this?’ he wondered to himself while feeling rather disoriented.
But he didn’t expect a pale face to appear in front of him!
“Rest assured, you are safe in this room.”
This was a Ghost!
The Ghost’s voice was gloomy and his face was almost touching Marvin’s.
He could feel a hint of coldness in the Ghost’s voice.
Marvin was definitely startled, but he forced himself to calm down right away.
Marvin was someone who had experienced a lot of terrible situations, after all, so a Ghost wasn’t enough to terrify him.
He was about to ask a question, but the Ghost kept talking:
“But, you can’t stay here for long.”
“You are being watched.”
The Ghost gloomily continued, “It is most fond of fresh flesh like you.”
Marvin frowned. “It? What is ‘It’?”
The Ghost avoided the answer.
He only had a face; Marvin didn’t know what had happened to the rest of his body.
A ray of light then shone in the room.
A candle appeared out of nowhere on an old-fashioned table.
Under the candle’s faint light, a scroll suddenly appeared, with a list of items written on it.
“The hunt is about to begin, you need something for self-protection.”
“You don’t have much time, hurry and buy something you will need.”
Marvin approached.
There were countless ordinary items on the list.
[Torch – Price: 10 Blood Essence Stones]
[Flint – Price: 5 Blood Essence Stones]
[Hunting Bow – Price: 5 Blood Essence Stones]


These items had no descriptions beside their names. But a lot of clues could be seen from the prices listed.
These items’ prices were quite high.
But Marvin was more confused about something else:
“What hunt?”
“Do I have to buy these things?”
The Ghost’s face suddenly became fierce. “Of course!”
“Why should I give you my blessing if you don’t shop?”
“If you don’t shop, I’ll curse you. My curse is extremely terrifying, it’ll make you die quickly in the hunt!”
Marvin suddenly had a bad omen.
The Ghost before him looked weak, but his instinct told him that this Ghost’s words might be true.
Everything in this place was weird.
This was clearly a sealed room, but it gave the feeling of a countryside.
Vortexes in the wilderness, a Ghost appearing, a list of items with absurdly high prices, and the so-called [Hunt]

What the fuck was happening to him?
Could he have already been drawn into the Wilderness Hall?
Marvin’s head felt like exploding.
“I’ll give you ten seconds.” The Ghost’s tone turned quite harsh.
“If you don’t buy anything, I’ll take you out.”
Marvin urgently shouted, “I’ll buy!”
At these words, the Ghost’s eyebrows eased up.
“Good, good, good, take a look first. You can buy whatever you want.”
“You can ask me a question for every item you buy.”
Marvin nodded.
The items on the list were very costly.
He didn’t have that many Blood Essence Stones left. He had spent quite a bit in Black Swan Hill and Holy Light City, so he only had 60 left.
Buying cheap items would be more convenient if he wanted to ask many questions
 but he didn’t want to end up with completely useless items either.
“Before purchasing these things, can I ask what they are used for?” Marvin probed.
The Ghost impatiently ridiculed, “These are the most basic things, you don’t know how to use them? If you are really that stupid, I fear that you will die fast in the hunt!”
It seemed like he didn’t intend to properly answer Marvin’s question.
Marvin scratched his head.
He checked the list once again.
“Give me a charm,” he said while pointing at an item on the list.
[Charm – Price: 30 Blood Essence Stones]
Among all the items, the charm’s price was in the middle range, but this was already half of Marvin’s Blood Essence Stones.
He bought it probingly.
He had no use for the rest of the things on the list. What torch? What flint? Was it any better than Darksight?
As for those hunting weapons and traps, Marvin was a Ruler of the Night with Ranger abilities. Why would he need to buy those things?
Only this charm appeared somewhat useful.
“Charm? Good choice
”
The Ghost’s tone became deep.
He took Marvin’s thirty Essence Stones and exchanged them for an ordinary-looking triangular amulet.
“It can save your life once. You’ll have to figure how to use it in the hunt.”
Marvin took the charm.
The information displayed was – [Charm – ????]

This was an unappraised item
 This meant that he would have to figure it out himself.
He shook his head helplessly and put on the charm.
“Well then, I’ll go ahead and ask a question now?”
Marvin impatiently inquired:
“The [Hunt], what is it?”
