Chapter 601: God Slaying Seal
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The Snake Witch was beyond furious.
As an immensely powerful caster, she had not suffered a loss for a very long time.
In the Underdark, besides the usually silent man in the neighbouring hill, she hadn't met any decent enemies.
She ruled over the Rotten Mushroom Swamp, and all the monsters there were under her thrall.
Any reckless intruders would end up dying in the swamp.
If someone was captured alive by her, that person would definitely regret being born. After all, an outstanding Alchemist and Poison Greatmaster needed many test subjects.
It was said that she was proficient in all the poisons in this world, so everyone who knew about her was afraid of her.
It's been a very long time since she had felt so much pain, making her chest flood with anger.
'To be able to enter my domain secretly... '
'It's must be that woman who told him. '
As she thought about it, the Snake Witch's eyes became even more clouded.
She hated the Anzeds to the bone. As an extremely prideful person, the Snake Witch displayed shocking talent in her youth.
She knew the Witchcraft system like the back of her hand and had almost managed to control all of the Witchcraft Authorities.
But the previous Witch Queen didn't let her become the leader of the Anzed Witches.
She was enraged by this injustice and thus, shortly after, the Anzeds faced their first major crisis since they had been established.
Although the crisis was avoided thanks to some Gods secretly helping them, it was also a huge setback for the Anzeds.
Many Witches fell, and even the Witch Queen had been mortally wounded. She had struggled at death's door and used her last bits of power to curse the Snake Witch, but was unable to completely kill her.
She knew about her own level of power.
The more powerful the person, the stronger the disagreeable aura of death coming from them would be.
Under Marvin's attacks, she clearly felt the dark summons from the Underworld.
This terrified her.
This man had to die!
She was completely naked after her transformation dissipated, and under the surrounding red mist, each part of her skin looked very alluring.
But at that time, a ray of sunlight landed on her.
The area hit by the sunlight began to fester and became extremely repulsive!
She looked hatefully at the courtyard.
It was all because of that damn curse!
Otherwise, with her strength, how could she have suffered a sneak attack from a little kid?
She already had an idea of what she wanted to do to Marvin.
She wouldn't let Marvin die easily. She would slowly peel off his skin and sprinkle a soul-searing poison powder on his head.
Just the thought of this made the Snake Witch unable to help smirking cruelly for a moment.
But next second, after that red mist scattered, her smile froze.
The ravine was completely empty. She couldn't see Marvin's figure even with her Infrared Sight!
"This is impossible!" The Witch had a terrible expression.
She knew the power of the [Bone Breaking Screech]!
Even someone on the level of a Divine Servant would be incapacitated by that spell!
Because that Legendary Spell originally had an Authority that exceeded the Divine Laws.
It had been made from the creation of a formidable Legend Wizard of the 3rd Era, specially designed to restrain the Gods' spells!
These types of spells had once been very popular in the 3rd Era, because of the many confrontations with the Gods after they descended to Feinan.
Some of the casters that sought knowledge and power snorted disdainfully at the Gods. They scorned those who chose to ascend to Godhood, but they still had no choice but to find some means to face the Divine Power of those New Gods.
Thus, they started researching many spells able to target the Divine Laws.
This type of spell was usually called a [God Slaying Seal].
Naturally, there were many kinds of spells that could be categorized as God Slaying Seals, and Bone Breaking Screech was just one of them. The Snake Witch, as a prominent existence from the 3rd Era, had grasped a great many God Slaying Seals, but only the Bone Break Screech could let her recover from the absolute disadvantage that she had been in just now.
She had been quite satisfied with the outcome of the spell. From Marvin's reaction when he got hit by it, she knew that he had received a serious wound!
His bones had definitely been crushed.
Because of the God Slaying Seal, even with a recovery ability on the level of Gods, he would still need a couple of minutes to recover.
He would die within these minutes!
...
But the current situation was different than what the Snake Witch had thought.
Marvin had disappeared!
It couldn't be Hide.
The Snake Witch still had her powerful ability to sense warmth. She hadn't found Marvin before because of carelessness, not expecting that she would be impaled while taking a stroll in her back garden. He had also attacked before she had drawn near.
Marvin had used her relaxed state of mind to successfully land the sneak attack.
But her counterattack was definitely effective, or she would have already turned into a corpse.
'Astral Plane? Shadow Plane?'
The Snake Witch closed her eyes, and an ancient chant came out of her mouth.
If Marvin were here, he would have been shocked to hear that the Snake Witch was chanting in the Ancient God Language.
Ancient runes floated over, forming a pale yellow array.
The air began to grow restless, as every light trail behind the runes seemed to fit together like a puzzle.
The Snake Witch's hands opened, and her entire person seemed just like a sculpture, as her eyes turned pure white!
"Come out, Lil' Rat..."
Then, two lines of blood burst out of her eyes!
...
Marvin was floating painfully in the endless darkness.
His bones had shattered completely!
The Snake Witch had reacted faster than he had thought she would!
The Post-Godly Dexterity was actually not able to let him escape or interrupt the instant [Bone Breaking Screech]!
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that the Bone Breaking Screech was a double-edged spell. Despite the Witch having the advantage of being Shapechanged into a snake, which would doubly mitigate the damage from the spell, it would still take some time to return to Human form.
While they were both unable to move, Marvin had resisted the pain and opened the [Eternal Night Seal]!
Eternal Night Seal's advantage was its flexibility.
This specialty could seal an enemy in the Eternal Night space, but it could also hide himself inside.
Seeing a rogue class suddenly disappear like this, an enemy would first search the Shadow Plane and then the Astral Plane before looking for other planes' entrances.
The entrances to these planes were very difficult to find. The Eternal Night space belonged to Marvin and had its own planar coordinates. In fact, it was equivalent to an empty Demi-Plane. Marvin didn't have the strength to support a Demi-Plane for a long time though.
Even so, the average spell couldn't find him or grab him out of it.
Thus, he could hide inside for now until he recovered.
'The Bone Breaking Screech... is truly frightening. A lot more effective than the rumors had said. '
'But she should also be weakened right now, so it should be a while before she can search for me. '
'I have the advantage, she can't find me... '
Marvin's thoughts were cut short by a sudden pair of white eyes piercing through the darkness!
The Snake Witch's delicate and crazed face appeared in front of him, covered in blood!
"Fuck!"
Marvin cursed loudly, looking at her in disbelief.
