Ha!

Following Jessica’s shout, a huge silhouette was sent flying!

Rumble!

The huge body of the War Warrior Tal punched into the stone wall, causing the ground to rumble.
Everyone flinched when they saw the impact because they had just experienced that large-scale collapse and knew what would happen if the wall crumbled in this area.
Tal dragged himself out of the crater in the wall after some time, with a look of respect in his eyes. The others were a bit fearful of Jessica’s strength.
Jessica shrugged without care, remaining silent.
Marvin smiled in satisfaction.
He knew that this was far from Jessica’s full strength.
With the burst of 7th Layer Fate Power, even ten War Warriors would be completely crushed to death by her in an actual fight, let alone a single one!
Jessica had been powerless to help when Marvin encountered the Martyr due to incompatibility. No amount of direct offensive power would help against an enemy whose most overwhelming attack was launched by instantly committing suicide.
She’d probably already been burning to take more direct action for a while now. After all, she had called upon Marvin for help to deal with the Dark Specters. It felt to her like she would be to blame if he came to harm.
Thus, when that War Warrior went with the proposal for a challenge of strength, that guy was already bound to suffer a defeat.

Good, you are strong enough to join us.

In the six-man team, only the Fiendish Swordsman still remained calm, not showing the slightest reaction to what had happened. In fact, Marvin was secretly shocked by his stoicism.
That guy truly was unfathomable. Fiendish Swordsman… This mysterious Legend Class was perhaps more unpredictable than Ruler of the Night.
Because Marvin didn’t know what kind of Monster, Fiend, or Spirit he had signed a contract with.
If it was a relatively troublesome Fiend, then he might be really powerful.
…
After Jessica was done, it was Marvin’s turn.
The six of them looked at each other for a bit. Finally, the Drow, Sunflower, stepped out.
She had ended up failing after trying to sneak attack Marvin, she ended up failing. This had hurt her pride, leaving her in a bad mood.
Naturally, she wanted to get back at him in a duel.
But that certainly wouldn’t be a simple matter.
This time, Marvin didn’t even use his Post-Godly Dexterity and suppressed his movements to the level of Godly Dexterity.
Despite this, the battle came to a stop after 15 seconds.
After a few exchanges, Marvin’s Desperation Style took advantage of an extremely small flaw in Sunflower’s moves and broke through her defenses.
His icy daggers gently touched the Drow’s supple skin.
The spirit in the weapons was still roaring, thirsting for her life.
But Marvin wouldn’t be influenced by it thanks to the Wisdom Chapter.
His blades were very stable, and he asked with a somewhat playful smile,
Am I qualified?

The Fiendish Swordsman remained silent, and the others didn’t seem to be able to come up with anything to say..
Only Sunflower, with her violent temperament, glared at Marvin.
You held back!
she accused.
Marvin chuckled.
Of course, or did you think I would really kill you?

Sunflower felt a twinge of irritation.
That obviously wasn’t what she meant.
She meant that during the fight, Marvin hadn’t been fighting at full strength. The speed and reactions that Marvin showed when she had snuck up on him earlier simply weren’t there in this duel.
He was holding back.
This made Sunflower feel downcast.
She was almost certain that the two before her weren’t fellow Drows, and they definitely weren’t regular Underdark Elves.
Their strength was too frightening, they were far from ordinary Legends.
Legend Powerhouses in the Underdark were known to be particularly powerful. At least, compared to those Legends on the surface born with silver spoons in their mouths, those that toiled in the Underdark were a bit stronger.
But the six of them actually seemed to fall short when compared to these two!
These two… Who were they?!
‘Could they be Gods’ Incarnations?’
Besides Freyr, who knew Marvin’s true identity, the others had thoughts along these lines.
That was likely the only sort of explanation that could make them feel a bit better.
Regardless, Marvin and Jessica had easily passed their test, and according to the rules delineated by the Fiendish Swordsman, they could join the team, on the condition that they had to obey the Fiendish Swordsman’s orders.
Marvin cheerfully agreed.
In any case, it was better to join them first and discuss any problems later. This team did have some level of strength, so it could be used to take care of some monsters ahead. But Marvin didn’t count on them being useful when it came to fighting the Final Ghost Mother.
His goal was still to kill the Final Ghost Mother and wipe the Dark Specter clan from Feinan’s history!
The situation was already decided. Even if the Cleric, Freyr, opposed it, he was unable to change the Fiendish Swordsman’s mind.
He could only choose to awkwardly remain silent.
After all, he also knew that this was now the most crucial time for the mission. Marvin and Jessica would be standing side by side with the Underdark in the fight against the Final Ghost Mother.
There was no need to doubt that.
…
After that was resolved, they made their final preparations under the Andes Snow Mountains.
After seeing the Dark Specter Army, everyone was quite clear about how powerful the Final Ghost Mother surely was.
Despite the Underdark being a place where everyone had to be wary of everyone else, they had no choice but to join forces at this moment.
They all shared the information they knew. Even Marvin shared some secrets that nobody else knew, despite the fact that those in the Underdark typically did not get along well with surface dwellers.
These pieces of information shocked the others greatly.
Even the Underdark United Council couldn’t seem to get information about what was inside the Eternal Frozen Spring, so how could that guy do it?
Based on what Marvin knew, the Eternal Frozen Spring’s entrance should be hidden in a certain part of the Andes Snow Mountains.
There was a canyon that cut through the mountains. At the entrance of the canyon stood a huge armored sculpture.
That was a Dark Knight of the Night Monarch. After dying in battle, he turned into a stone statue, still watching over this land.
As long as they found that sculpture, they would find the entrance of the Eternal Frozen Spring.
From that entrance, they could easily reach the Eternal Frozen Spring’s first line of defense.
The Ice Jade Palace.
…

You said that there are many Dragons in the Ice Jade Palace?

Hearing Marvin’s description, the Fiendish Swordsman couldn’t help frowning to himself.
The others’ expressions were even more dissatisfied.
No matter where, Dragons were always at the top of the food chain.
Even the lowest Lesser Dragon would cause a huge headache for a typical settlement, but Marvin had indicated that there was a Dragon Nest in the Ice Jade Palace!
This was sure to be troublesome.
