Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Mana Wraith Eric was a very unique existence.
From what Marvin knew, he was the key to opening the Secret Garden’s entrance.
Back when the Wizard Apprentice nad Eric was swallowed by the Magic dicine King, a part of his soul ford into resentnt.
It had a willpower that couldn’t be neglected. Even though it was swallowed by the Magic dicine King, the latter wasn’t willing to digest that resentnt. Otherwise it might be assimilated by the resentnt.
Thus, it simply expelled the resentnt from its body before pouring its own magic power in it to turn it into an independent resentful ghost with a body made of magic power.
That Mana Wraith involuntarily beca the Magic dicine King’s accomplice.
After all, the real Wizard Apprentice Eric had already died and the Mana Wraith was only left with so of Eric’s anger and resentnt.
Because it was restricted to the Secret Garden due to its nature, the Magic dicine King was unable to free itself from the prison the Mikenshi Wizards had created.
Thus, it needed soone to help it open the Secret Garden and then close it at a suitable ti.
That was the Mana Wraith.
...
Marvin suddenly opened his eyes. Since he caught that guy’s existence, if he didn’t chase now, when would he go?
While using Earth Perception, Marvin grasped the Mana Wraith’s location and used Night Tracking.
His movents were graceful like the wind, lding into the darkness of the night. Even if he hadn’t ticulously used Stealth, few people would have been able to notice Marvin.
Ten seconds later, Marvin found him in a ruined courtyard.
This just happened to be convenient for Marvin.
The Mana Wraith grew alert, raising his head while angrily looking at Marvin, and let out a wretched laughter. "Fertilizer..."
"Fertilizer is coming..."
After saying this, he suddenly pounced at Marvin!
Pure Chaos Magic Power condensed into a pair of sharp claws, swiping fiercely at Marvin!
But before it reached him, Marvin took out an object and weighed it in his hand.
The Mana Wraith froze instantly.
The thing in Marvin’s hand was a dazzling ball. He laughingly asked, "So anxious to make a move? Could it be that you don’t want to chat with ?"
The Mana Wraith glanced at Marvin.
The power of the Sun Sphere gave him a feeling of danger. That thing had a restraining effect against ghosts, the undead, and beings of darkness.
Even the Hook Horror family that was able to move unhindered in the dangerous Underdark was burnt to death under the effect of these Sun Spheres.
Let alone a small Mana Wraith.
"There is nothing worth talking about with fertilizer..."
The Mana Wraith turned and fled!
The Magic dicine King’s order was to find a deserted place to open the Secret Garden and then attract a wave of people in.
If he was found, he couldn’t carry out his plan.
His thoughts were already under the control the Magic dicine King and he simply couldn’t rember what had happened back then.
But Marvin could do sothing about it.
"Really?" A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You sure you don’t want to discuss with , Eric?"
The Mana Wraith stopped.
"You... What did you say?" He turned around fiercely. "You dare to call out Master’s na?"
Marvin looked at him with pity, "Poor Eric, could it be that you still don’t rember who swallowed your soul and flesh, and even stole your na? Your so-called master is only a Magic dicine bound to be eaten by people. You were his master once."
The Mana Wraith had an odd expression and angrily pointed at Marvin as he yelled with false bravado, "You are talking nonsense!"
But his expression was betraying him.
He stood there, motionless. So mories finally started awakening thanks to Marvin.
Marvin was pleased.
He wasn’t wrong.
The ti when the Mana Wraith left the garden was when the Magic dicine King’s control over him was at its weakest. At that ti, with so key words, it should be very easy to make the Mana Wraith rember what had happened.
This was very helpful to Marvin’s plan.
The Mana Wraith seed very unstable. He looked like he was at a loss, sotis angry, sotis peaceful, sotis fierce.
After a while his expression beca strange and his voice turned gloomy. "I... I am Eric."
Marvin inwardly sighed. ’Actually, you aren’t Eric. You are only Eric’s resentnt, nothing more.’
But of course he wouldn’t say that now, since he had a use for the Mana Wraith.
"Indeed, you are Eric," Marvin grimly said. "Not only did the Magic dicine King swallow your body and soul, it stole your na and tricked you."
"Who are you? Why would you know so much?" The Mana Wraith still had a hard ti believing him.
"I’m only a passerby who has read many books." Marvin shrugged. "I know your mission is to open the Secret Garden. You’ll open the entrance sooner or later, right?"
He Mana Wraith was silent for a mont, not understanding. "Since you know about the Magic dicine King’s existence, why would you still want to go in to beco fertilizer?"
Marvin calmly told him, "I have reasons. A friend of mine is inside, and I want to make sure he cos out unscathed. Moreover, how could you be certain whether I would beco that Eric’s food?"
He especially stressed the word Eric.
Sure enough, the Mana Wraith irritably retorted, "I am Eric! It is only a Magic dicine! Damn!"
Marvin smiled faintly. "Yeah? But you appear to have no ans to act against it. It calls itself Eric, while you are just a naless Mana Wraith."
The Mana Wraith looked at Marvin sowhat fanatically. "I’ll kill it!"
"You? Impossible," dismissed Marvin. "If you return to the Secret Garden, you’ll once again return under its control. Aren’t I right?"
The Mana Wraith was annoyed, but admitted, "You are very right."
"I don’t have a way to fight that guy, it is too strong."
"You can’t even imagine how powerful it is..."
"How powerful it is will be my matter. If you are willing to land a hand, I’ll have a chance to get rid of the ’Eric’ that is a Magic dicine," Marvin assured. "I also ca here for the Magic dicine King, but I need a bit of your help."
The Mana Wraith examined Marvin, but ultimately shook his head. "You are very strong, but not his match."
"Believe , I’m much stronger than you can imagine," Marvin said grimly. "Since I know of the Magic dicine King and still dare to co, I definitely have a way to handle him."
The Mana Wraith was silent for a mont before finally asking, "What do you need to do?"
"First, open the Secret Garden’s entrance and let in," Marvin instructed. "As for the others, you can follow the Magic dicine King’s arrangents."
"Second, I need you to tell where the Magic dicine King’s main body is located, as well as how to see through his disguise and illusions."
The Mana Wraith shook his head, "Opening the entrance is fine, but I don’t know how to see through his disguise and his illusions are too powerful..."
He then changed his attitude a bit, muttering irresolutely, "As for his location, I can actually tell you."
"His main body is in a hidden area beyond the remains of the Astral Sea Monster, in the [First Garden of Eden]."
Marvin nodded.
This information wasn’t much different from what he could rember. He wanted to verify whether the information from his previous life was reliable or not.
After all, it was second-hand information.
But when it ca to this, Marvin suddenly asked, "What level is the Magic dicine King’s Illusion skill at? As strong as Hell Nightmares?"
The Mana Wraith hesitated for a mont before confirming, "More or less."
A strange expression flashed in Marvin’s eyes.
Soon after, he pondered a bit and told the Mana Wraith, "Open the entrance. Let experience how terrifying illusions that are comparable to those of Hell’s Dream Demons are."
The Mana Wraith listened to him and opened a Teleportation Gate.
Marvin walked in.
At that ti, a sneer appeared on the Mana Wraith’s face. "You overestimate yourself..."
...
After entering, Marvin arrived in a strange place.
A rich fragrance floated in the air, and coming here from the Dead Area felt like jumping from the cold of midwinter to the liveliness of spring.
Marvin stood on a wide open field, and could see a small flat hill in the distance.
There were many buildings there that had the style of the ancient Mikenshi school.
This was the Secret Garden’s first area, the [Lost Villa].
Marvin was about to go uphill, when he suddenly felt his wrists burning!
Ancestor’s Mystery had a reaction!
