As the roar rang out, the flames and the darkness intertwined, creating a dazzling performance.
The ancient creature was roused by those stimuli, the coldness from the Eternal Frozen Spring no longer able to suppress his awakening anymore. The frozen river was melting quickly due to the scorching flames.
A huge shadow was faintly visible in the darkness.
And what was more worrisome was that the Martyrâs explosion temporarily rendered the surrounding space unstable.
If Marvin wasnât wrong, the Deep River, since it was at the very bottom of the plane, was the most stable part of Feinan.
But the Martyrâs explosion still caused extreme damage to the area anyways.
Crushed rocks, broken ice, cold wind, hot fire!
The space even started distorting.
The golden thread tightened even harder against Marvinâs body. He was bloody all over, but the powerful constitution granted to him by his Ruler of the Night class and his Devil Bloodline had helped him recover somewhat. However, Marvin clearly knew that if he let that Divine Fire land on his body, there would be only one end for him: Death!
That was not normal Divine Fire!
It was Self-Immolation Fire that came from a pious Martyr.
Those flames could even kill Low Gods upon direct contact, let alone a Ruler of the Night like Marvin!
As this occurred to him, he instantly gathered his wits!
âDonât come!â he warned emphatically.
A barrier was protecting his surroundings and repelling the countless rocks that were falling all around him. Otherwise, he would have already been buried alive.
He naturally knew that this was thanks to Jessica!
In a flash, the Fate Sorceress approached as she could without too much risk, her expression unsightly.
The flames were slowly consuming the golden thread from the other end. Looking closely, it was even possible to make out the Martyrâs warm smile in the golden flames.
âHeâs got you targeted!â Jessica worriedly shouted. âCut it off, quickly!â
Marvin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He simply had no way to cut this golden thread; he was certain of this. The Black Dragon God had dispatched the Martyr to get rid of Marvin via mutual destruction!
Forcibly trading his life to make Marvin completely disappear from this world!
All of this in spite of how precious a Martyr was.
âThat guy should be the Black Dragon Godâs only Martyr, right?â
As the flames crept ever closer, Marvinâs mind was working faster.
His Wisdom ability was operating at full strength. His brain was like a high-end computer as plans flashed in his mind one after the other before being rejected!
In a mere three seconds, he had already rejected a hundred and sixty-seven plans!
Despite always being able to remain calm even in the toughest of situations, Marvin was now breathing rather heavily.
He wasnât afraid of death!
But he still didnât want to die now!
He had many people he needed to protect.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldnât get away from that Divine Fire.
Jessicaâs Fate Power could still support the area from collapsing, but given some time, Jessica might also get dragged in.
Thus, he decisively told her, âLeave!â
Jessica opened her eyes wide, âWhat are you talking about?!â
âI need you to save me,â Marvin quickly explained, âbecause thereâs no way to extinguish the Martyrâs Self-Immolation Fire. We can only wait until it finishes burning!â
âWhen that happens, I need you to come and save me. Leave, go look for Ding!â
Time was pressing, so Marvin couldnât even afford to go into details!
The Self-Immolation Fire was already getting close to his body.
âI wonât leave!â Jessica insisted.
âIâll give it a try. In this world, there is nothing that my [Power] cannot settle.â
Marvin shook his head and suddenly sprang away from her!
Jessica was frozen in surprise as Marvin pierced through the thick ice of the frozen river like a bullet!
The Divine Fire also followed after Marvin, melting the ice in its wake instantly!
Below the layer of ice, the ancient creatureâs roar burst out, spreading through the entire Underdark!
Everyone halted, showing expressions of fear, confusion, or surprise.
Marvinâs silhouette disappeared into the icy river.
She saw a scarlet radiance glow in the darkness, and Marvin disappeared into the light!
âLorie used up so much power to keep you alive, how could I let you die!?â Jessica stomped her foot in a fit of anger.
As a very willful young woman, Jessica always wanted to be in control of any situation. Normally, she would be the one ordering people around, but now Marvin was telling her what to do.
And she didnât even get a say in the matter!
This made Jessica grind her teeth in anger.
The only comforting part was that although she could tell that Marvin was in a bad situation through the Fate Power resonance, it also let her know that he wasnât dead.
âDid he think of something?â
âWait until the Divine Fire is exhausted? Wouldnât he have burnt to death by then?â
A large piece of the ceiling came down, sending huge waves roaring across the Deep River!
Her Fate Power was having trouble holding it back!
Jessica clenched her teeth before glancing at that frozen river and heeding Marvinâs words.
Her silhouette quickly drew back and left the collapsing area.
At the same time, her Fate Power started flickering. âI need Dingâs help! Marvin will die!â
The light of Order was still warming the area under the protection of the Three Sisters.
But beyond the light, the land was still flooded with monsters. They were tearing rabidly at the light of Order, trying to break through the defenses.
That thin girl standing beside the Source of Fireâs Order had a rather haggard complexion.
Suddenly, she paled even more.
She had heard her older sisterâs call!
âWhat have they encountered?â
âMarvin⊠will die?â
As Kate took a deep breath to calm herself, the Fortune Fairy jiggling around at her side noticed her agitation. âWhatâs going on? Are you reaching your limits?â
Kate shook her head. âBig Sis and Marvin met some serious problem, they need you.â
Ding frowned. âWhat kind of trouble could a duo consisting of a Ruler of the Night and a Fate Sorceress meet? Surely a God couldnât have descended yet. And you really need me. Without my help, how can you keep going?â She was clearly worried this time, and not just being sarcastic or difficult.
âI can still handle it for some time on my own,â Kate reassured softly. âGo look for Daisy. Big Sis would never call for help unless the situation was absolutely critical.â
The Fortune Fairy hesitated for a bit, but still agreed in the end.
Her shadow disappeared from the city wall.
The back of the girl standing by the Source of Fire seemed even more lonely now.
The wild beastâs roars were echoing through the darkness.

The Divine Fire was like a leech, clinging to Marvinâs aura and letting him get away.
Things had reached the point where all he could do was to struggle desperately.
His body tore through many obstacles before finally reaching his destination.
A pair of eyes slowly opened, scarlet like huge bloody moons, closely inspecting the insignificant Human that had just approached.
