Night Ranger

Chapter 533: Ethereal Jar

Panda Novel

The situation was developing so quickly that Marvin could only follow Hathaway's arrangements for now.

He was quite worried about Isabelle's safety, and even if he guessed from Bandel's tone that there would temporarily be no threat to her life, how could Marvin feel reassured when such a gifted girl landed in the hands of a lunatic?

And he still had Molly, too.

Griffin had already died, but that girl had left a deep impression on Marvin. He swore to himself that if he was able to, he would put an end to all this.

The first step was to kill this Wilderness God's avatar!

From Hathaway's words, the Wilderness God's slumber was a type of fake death. A very powerful God had put him into a near-death state, to the point that he could only retain the Source of Fire in his avatar, slowly absorbing power through it.

For the past years, that flame had always been hibernating in the middle of the Life-Severing Ivies and was the source of their ability to absorb power.

Now that the flame had gone into the Lich's lamp and been taken away, the Wilderness God's powerful Divine Laws lost their effect over this space.

Otherwise, the Legend Laws wouldn't have recovered.

After losing the blessings of the Divine Laws, the ivy that had seemed so scary before was now just a bunch of plant monsters with a bit of Divinity.

Although it was the avatar of the Wilderness God, it wasn't unbeatable!

...

Marvin quickly opened the lid of the jar in his hand, as Hathaway had instructed.

Without any other action on his part, a sharp wave of sound burst out from the jar.

It heated up, and if not for the gloves he was wearing, Marvin would have been unable to keep holding it!

"No… This is the Ethereal Jar…"

"You are a Witch!" the Wilderness God's avatar bellowed.

All the cyan ivy gathered back around the flaming flower, apparently wanting to protect it.

But it was already too late.

Marvin had been hiding in the Shadow Plane for so long waiting for the right moment. With Hathaway as a distraction, he would definitely achieve his goal.

He rushed back and forth among the ivy, using the distortion ability of his Night Boundary.

He arrived in front of the flaming petals in a blink.

The previously ruthless flower became extremely dispirited when facing Marvin and the Ethereal Jar.

Marvin's hand deftly bypassed the ivy and snatched a petal from the flower. He stuffed it into the Ethereal Jar.

"Wuwuwu…"

The Ethereal Jar let out a low sound. Under the oppressive sound, the blazing petals weakened.

"I won't allow you!"

The Wilderness God's avatar struggled in vain.

It gave up on everything else and pulled all the cyan ivy back, ruthlessly pouncing on Marvin!

"Careful!" Hathaway shouted.

She didn't expect that despite being suppressed by her Witchcraft, the ivy could still rush back so quickly.

In a few seconds, Marvin would be surrounded by the Life-Severing Ivies!

The others actually took advantage of the reprieve to adjust themselves and escape.

The temple started shaking like it was about to collapse!

"This place is very dangerous, we have to find a way to leave!" one of the powerhouses among them yelled loudly. "Minsk, do you have a way?"

They seemed to be old acquaintances.

Minsk pointed at the ivy and coldly said, "If it doesn't die, we won't be able to leave."

They all became silent.

They had a deep impression of the tenacity of these Life-Severing Ivies. Completely killing them... wasn't that easier said than done? There seemed to be an endless amount of them. They would never finish cutting them all down!

"That kid is in danger," someone said worriedly. The others also had similar expressions.

But no one went to help. With such a large, writhing mass of Life-Severing Ivies, who would rashly approach?

The chant coming from Hathaway's mouth became sharper.

The powerful Witchcraft power formed into a wave, permeating through the whole area and redoubling their suppression on the ivy.

Marvin took a quick glance back and knew that the matter couldn't be delayed, so he pushed his speed to the limits!

His silhouette was like lightning, frantically flickering among the cyan ivy, plucking the flaming petals one after the other and squeezing them into the Ethereal Jar.

As Marvin plucked the final petal, all the ivy shuddered, and the ceiling started crumbling, sending a large amount of stone falling down!

An angry roar echoed through the space and completely pushed back the influence of Hathaway's Witchcraft chant!

"Leave quick!"

Hathaway's voice echoed in Marvin's mind.

Marvin smiled. His hand shook and a shadow passed through all the ivy, flying toward Hathaway's hand.

The Ethereal Jar!

The Anzed Witches' Artifact, and also one of the symbols of the Witch Queen.

Hathaway froze. Marvin's action was beyond her expectations as it was completely different from what she had previously arranged.

Her plan was to leave after getting her hands on the flaming petals.

Unlike the others, Hathaway had the ability to come and go as she pleased due to her power as the Witch Queen.

But she didn't expect that Marvin wouldn't escape after accomplishing her mission.

His silhouette sank into the layers of cyan ivy.

In the depths of the hall, the roar kept echoing, louder and louder. The pillars were shaking, slowly falling apart.

Everyone kept running away, but they discovered with shock that the boundary was continuously shrinking.

With all the ivy at the center, the temple's space kept shrinking, collapsing!

"Guys look!" A voice burst from one of the survivors. "There is a door here."

The others looked over, and sure enough, there was a faintly flickering door in the darkness. Everyone charged over, grasping onto their last hope.

Only a few people managed to stay calm, including Minsk.

He looked at Hathaway and asked, "You are able to kill it, so why aren't you doing so?"

Hathaway coldly replied, "What do those people have to do with me? I only came to reclaim my power."

As she said this, a red glow came out from the Ethereal Jar.

The lid of the Ethereal Jar opened on its own, a complete petal slowly floating out.

Hathaway gently opened her hand and the red petal fell into her palm.

Just before it landed, a five-colored flower blossomed from her palm, and the red petal fell onto it, perfectly cleaving to it.

She nimbly waved her wrist and the six-colored flower disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, most of the Legends were rushing toward the door.

But what they met was only a bloody sky!

"These fools actually went into its stomach."

Hathaway looked disdainfully at those people, before looking back at the place where Marvin had disappeared in that mass of ivy.

She hesitated briefly, but then opened her hand, making a gesture to cast a Witchcraft.

But suddenly, a loud cry came out from the pile of cyan ivy!

Golden light burst all round as a majestic Griffin frantically flapped his wings, fighting his way out of the writhing thicket!

Using two claws, he was holding a green object that looked similar to a heart!
