The Dream Shrine group was apparently the only group that was still able to resist.
But they also seemed to be in a very difficult situation right now.
Marvin could feel that this special crawling vine was continuously siphoning away his vitality, but the process was very slow. With his constitution, he would be able to hold on for a hundred years or so.
But the more serious issue was that the mass of ivy was imbued with another power.
This kind of feeling was like when they had heard the mysterious singing voice outside Holy Light City.
It was like a huge lock was coiled around their bodies, making it very difficult to move.
Naturally, Marvin could still find ways to escape, but he felt that this wasnât the most suitable moment.
âBandel? Why does this name sound a bit familiar? That Lich nameâs Bandel?â
Marvin held his breath and listened carefully to the discussion.
The Cleric shouted, âI wonât die from a Life-Severing Ivy! My body will resurrect in the Shrine! But your evil deeds here will be told to the Dream God, he wonât forgive you!â
âGive us Cold Lightâs Grasps now, and let us leave!â
The Lich sneered, âI know you wonât die. But would that resurrected you still be you?â
âIf Iâm not wrong, you havenât died before. After dying for the first time, youâll turn into a genuine puppet of the Gods.â
âDo you want to have a taste of this feeling?â
The Clericâs expression became quite ugly.
He glared fiercely at the Lich as he demanded, âHow can you open the Wilderness Hall and Autumn Hunting Ground? And why would the Life-Severing Ivies listen to you?â
The Lich shrugged as he gave a non-answer: âAs a spectator, you have far too many questions.â
âLook, the others know their places. I said I was very fair, I wonât treat you better just because you are a member of the Dream Shrine.â
âTie him up. My patience is limited, and the great teacherâs patience is even more limitedâŠâ
After saying this, the ivy surrounding the Clericâs group went crazy and attacked even more frantically.
Countless sharp thorns shot over, and despite the Cleric using several defensive Divine Spells, a Paladin still got caught and was pierced!
That scene looked pretty tragic.
The Legend powerhouses hanging from the ceiling all held their breaths.
They had never been as dispirited as they were now.
This temple had the same stifling limitation to the Legend Laws as the Hunting Ground, and they were caught in an unprecedented predicament.
But compared to that group currently fighting, their treatment was a lot better.
At least they werenât being surrounded and viciously attacked by the ivy!
Marvinâs expression became a bit unsightly.
He could feel the Lichâs power, which apparently was not affected at all by the restrictions in this place.
And it seemed to be the same for that Jade Banshee.
What was that ivy? Life-Severing Ivy? The name seemed quite straightforward, but could it have a deeper meaning?
At that time, the voice of the Winter Assassin echoed in his ear:
âThe Life Severing Ivies are an avatar of the Wilderness God!â
âIt was rumored that before the Wilderness God fell, he hid seeds of rebirth, and these seeds were hidden in the Life Severing Ivies.â
âYou are stripped of your Legend Laws because the Life Severing Ivies are a power of the Wilderness God. He had an ancient Lawâs authority and can erase your Domainâs power. In essence, itâs like you are in a God Realm! Only with permission can you use your Legend Domains!â
Marvin instantly understood.
Although the Wilderness God had yet to resurrect, these Life Severing Ivies were his avatar, and still had some power.
That power was extremely mighty and had the same authority here as Divine Laws. Legend Laws were suppressed under the effect of those Laws.
And the Lich himself was probably not affected because of the Ivies giving him extra authority!
âDamn it, he just said [teacher]⊠This guy wouldnât be the disciple of the Wilderness God, right?â
Marvin suddenly recalled that when he was travelling toward that snowy mountain with the adventurers, he had heard them mention something similar.
âIâm afraid he is.â
The Winter Assassinâs voice seemed quite grave as he muttered, âYour decision was right, we wouldnât be able to gain anything fighting head-on.â
âDamn Witch, she deceived me once again. She clearly said that the Wilderness God wouldnât resurrect.â
âBut look at these Life Severing Ivies. The Wilderness Godâs consciousness had already started recovering!â
Marvinâs heart sped up.
He had a really bad feeling this time.
The Wilderness God was a famous Evil God from ancient times. If he truly revived, how many of the Legends here would be able to escape?
He silently made the Wisp notify Isabelle. If there was an opportunity to flee, they would have to flee first.
He knew of Isabelleâs innate talent, and if not for that talent, the Winter Assassin wouldnât have let her come to the Wilderness Hall.
Very few spaces could truly restrain her.
The battle below was still ongoing. But one member of the Dream Shrine group seemed to be on his last leg.
Under the persistent attacks from the cyan vines, another Paladin fell.
The Clericâs face turned green.
These were elites of the Dream Shrine, the main force!
And not only did they fail to see even a shadow of Cold Lightâs Grasps, but they also met the Wilderness Godâs avatar. This was completely different from the oracle!
He tried communicating with his God, but was unsuccessful.
The Lichâs expression made him shiver.
He didnât want to die, he didnât want to die like this in the embrace of a mass of ivy!
Thus, he clenched his teeth before yelling out once again, âBandel!â
âI have a suggestion!â
The Lich sneered, âOh? Iâm listening?â
The Cleric took a deep breath. âDo you really want to offend the Dream God?â
The Lich asked in a tone dripping with ridicule, âYou want me to release you?â
âThe Dream Shrine will owe you a favor.â The Cleric looked at the only two remaining Paladins in front of him and at Griffin, who was in a pitiful state, before showing a painful smile. âYou win. We give up on Cold Lightâs Grasps. As long as you free us, the Dream Shrine wonât pursue the matter with you.â
The Lichâs soulfire flickered, no one knew what he was thinking.
But attacks from the cyan ivy really slowed.
âTo be honest, Iâm not afraid of offending the Dream God,â the Lich began. The Clericâs heart turned cold.
The Lich then said, âBut when it comes to offending Gods, the fewer the better, right?â
âI can let you leave safely.â
âBut one of you is a sacrifice my teacher is very fond of, her flesh is very captivating⊠She has to stay!â
The Cleric froze. âShe? Who?â
The Lich pointed at the sweating GriffinâŠ. At the girl on his back!
Griffinâs expression suddenly changed.

âThat little girl⊠She is very different.â
The Lich laughed. âThere is a very impressive treasure in her body. Although itâs hidden by the curse, it cannot escape the Wilderness Godâs sense of smell.â
He raised his chin and repeated, âShe has to remain. You can take the others away.â
The Cleric glanced at Griffin and unhesitantly made a decision:
