The Dragon's wings spread open and flapped vigorously.
Peering through the dense fog, Marvin grew increasingly more anxious!
His improved perception from being a Ruler of the Night told him that some terrible change was happening in Remains Island.
It might be too late for him to stop it.
Because this passage was way too strange. To the sides, there were magic arrays that even the Black Dragon was afraid of, and the water surging in the canyon was extremely rough. Even the Black Dragon had to keep his wings close to his body to fly.
He had to fly for no less than two minutes to get through the passage.
When he arrived at Remains Island, the green light filling the air and the dense aura of Evil Spirits already explained everything.
This was all a premeditated sacrifice!
Only a large amount of lives could temporarily interfere with the barrier of the Universe Magic Pool!
Because each life, and especially the life of a Human, had a small amount of Order power. This power of Order was a potent energy that could resonate with the origin of the world. This was also the reason that ancient evil Wizards were fond of sacrificing people.
It was one of the easier ways to quickly obtain more power.
There was no doubt that the person conducting the sacrifice was the masked black-gowned person before them.
Half of Remains Island was between them, but Marvin still saw that person.
”Woosh!”
The Great Eagles also flew over, keeping up with Marvin.
When the Legends saw this scene, their expressions became grim! They knew the terrible nature of sacrificial rituals!
The ancient runes and dark incantation were there to communicate with the target of the sacrifice!
2nd Era Evil Spirit Overlord, Evil Dragon Tomb Keeper, Tidomas!
They knew that Tidomas' main body couldn't come to this plane, but if it were only a projection, there would definitely be no need to sacrifice that many people!
So there was only one possibility. They were calling forth a part of his body!
Despite it being just a body part, it was still very frightening.
The roar of a Dragon kept echoing from under Remains Island and every corpse began dissolving into fog, including the Pirate King himself!
Marvin coldly watched the black-gowned person and suddenly shouted, ”So you are willing to abandon a doppelganger like that!”
”Lady Dark Phoenix, I am very curious... At this time, why are you still hiding behind a mask?”
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the black-gowned person.
The latter laughed and truly removed her mask!
Under the mask was a delicate appearance.
Besides Marvin, the Legends' hearts were extremely heavy!
It really was Dark Phoenix!
”You are right. I'm tired of this secretive life, so it is time to take off the mask.”
Dark Phoenix seemed very relaxed.
She looked at Marvin. ”Without you, I might have still continued to endure, up until I found the perfect opportunity.”
Marvin reacted, noticing that Dark Phoenix's sentence carried an implication.
”Eh?” he sneered, ”Could it be that because of my appearance, you became afraid?”
”Indeed,” Dark Phoenix admitted.
”Your appearance changed everything, Marvin. I did a Divination six hundred years before. Everything that should have happened recently has been changed by a person that should have already been dead. While Tidomas is still crossing the planar barrier, why don't we talk about your real identity? Mister Marvin?”
She smiled gently, like a close older sister.
But her eyes were fixed on Marvin as if she wanted to peer through him.
”My real identity is White River Valley's Overlord,” Marvin calmly insisted. ”And you seem to have hidden a lot from the Alliance and the world…”
Shadow Thief Owl's expression was strange as he cut in, ”Lady Dark Phoenix, I don't understand…”
”What don't you understand?” Dark Phoenix still looked gleeful as she asked. ”You don't understand why I saved Marvin, and then wanted to kill him?”
”I have to admit, this was my biggest mistake. I always thought that Seer Hathaway was my biggest obstruction.”
”Exchanging a Seer for an insignificant human, this deal seemed very profitable, didn't it?”
”But I made a mistake. I should have let Marvin die under Glynos' curse.”
Seeing Dark Phoenix speak so frankly, Marvin felt a bit flustered.
She was someone who could endure a lot to keep hidden, yet now she was explaining everything candidly.
It meant that she either had made sufficient preparations to ensure that everyone would be unable to leave this place, or had otherwise decided that there was no longer any need to hide anything.
Either way, this wasn't a good sign.
...
Inheim stood on the back of a Great Eagle and glared coldly at Dark Phoenix.
”So that means... Anthony's information was leaked to Glynos by you?”
There had actually been a lot of strange things about Great Wizard Anthony's death.
