Chapter 397: Ruler of the Night!
Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation
In the tower outside River Shore City, a frightening aura filled the air.
The aura of the Shadow Diamond was overflowing and even Madeline couldn't approach.
A black star flickered in her eyes. The Book of Nalu seemed restless, as if wary of Marvin's advancement.
She couldn't get any closer because her injury was too severe.
This was also a reason Marvin dared to advance here!
After a short time, the Book of Nalu seemed to have understood the situation and allowed Marvin to advance to Ruler of the Night.
Madeline returned to normal and activated the Wizard Tower's Barrier to stop the aura of his advancement from leaking.
...
In the eternal darkness, Marvin was standing alone.
These logs appeared in his interface:
[Shadow Diamond activated…]
[Absorbing the Shadow Diamond's Domain power…]
[Advancement requirements met…]
[Advance to Ruler of the Night?]
Marvin confidently chose yes!
The next second, the Shadow Diamond's power poured into Marvin's body.
He'd already had enough experience and his classes had reached the requirements. He only needed an opportunity.
Marvin could feel his strength growing continuously, which felt rather enjoyable.
This was the reason he went all-out to get the Shadow Diamond in Glynos' temple.
Without this artifact, he simply couldn't advance to the powerful class, Ruler of the Night!
More and more power poured into his body and the interface was refreshing crazily.
All the logs were in chaos!
Fortunately, after some time, the interface stabilized!
[Advancement to Ruler of the Night successful!]
[You obtained a Legend attribute point]
[You successfully obtained the class: Ruler of the Night]
Marvin took a deep breath!
He had been waiting for this day, waiting for so long!
He finally had the strength to stand off against this plane's Legends!
Now, his class list had changed:
[Ranger Lv10 – Night Walker Lv10 – Ruler of the Night Lv1]
[Subclasses: Shapeshift Sorcerer Lv6 – Battle Gunner Lv1]
After becoming a Legend, all the levels of classes below Legend rank were no longer counted in the total level. Level 20 would be the base before adding Legend levels.
The current Marvin had reached the level 21 Legend Realm!
But it wasn't over yet. Although the advancement to Ruler of the Night had completed, the gains had just started showing up!
...
Another log appeared.
[Detection of Domain power in the Shadow Diamond, able to choose one:]
[Shadow/Mystery/Slaughter/Fear]
This was a unique characteristic of Legend Powerhouses, having a Domain!
A Domain was a Legend's trademark and was also a part of having an understanding of the planar laws.
Naturally, he could choose other Domains besides the four offered by the Shadow Diamond. The Ranger class offered [Forest/Impartiality] while the Night Walker class offered [Night/Wind/Disguise]. All these Domains could be chosen.
Regretfully, he could only select one Domain to rule as a new Legend.
He unhesitantly chose [Shadow]!
He had been in contact with the Shadow Prince in both lives, and this Domain was very broad. It was also the Domain that Marvin understood the most.
But he hadn't expected the log to pop out with this sentence:
[You already possess the Shadow Domain, choose another one.]
Marvin froze and checked his interface carefully. He was stunned to discover that after his advancement to Ruler of the Night, his Shapeshift Sorcerer class actually gave him an extra Domain, [Shadow]!
But he wasn't too startled, because he could see how it happened.
When he got that page of the Book of Nalu, he gained the innate spell, Shadow Doppelganger. Later, when activating his Numan bloodline, he also obtained the Shapeshift Sorcerer's Shadow-shape.
In other words, the trait of the Shadow Domain naturally flowed in his bloodline. During his advancement to Legend, the Shadow Diamond gave so much power that it directly activated his bloodline, giving him an extra Domain.
This was such a huge benefit!
Sure enough, some bloodlines were really worth it.
Marvin was overjoyed. A new Legend with two Domains! Surely no one would expect that?
Even a Seer like Hathaway only had [Ashes].
Ashes was a Domain of extreme destruction. If she could walk further in this Domain, she would have very frightening destructive power.
...
As for the remaining Domains, Marvin gave up on the three Domains of the Night Walker class. Whether it was [Night], [Wind], or [Disguise], they were either useless to him or somewhat redundant.
The Ranger's [Forest] and [Impartiality] were even more incompatible with his development path.
He still needed to choose from the three Domains remaining in the Shadow Diamond.
[Mystery] was definitely a no go. This was the peak Domain of slyness and craftiness, but wasn't suitable with Ruler of the Night.
Only two were left. [Slaughter] and [Fear] and both were very frightening.
Marvin hesitated a bit before ultimately choosing [Slaughter].
