The cold wind passing through the vast paddy field felt extremely terrifying .
The sky was quite dark, and if one was to look down at the dark soil, they would be able to see a frightening crimson color .
This was the Crimson Wasteland .
Marvin was quickly leaving the edge of the paddy field, alone .
He now had a simple map in his mind . The map included the topography of Eisengel and the area to the northeast .
In Eisengel, no one could get anything without paying the price . If Marvin wanted a complete map as a newcomer, he naturally wouldn't be able to .
He had to complete a mission .
He thought for a bit and decided that in order to save time, he would undertake a mission that was rather difficult .
The reason this particular mission was rated at a high degree of difficulty was because it had been hanging on the announcement board for two weeks, but after all that time, no one completed it .
Moreover, few people were interested in this assignment even though the reward reached 30 Blood Essence Stones .
After Marvin discussed with the manager in charge of the missions, he managed to negotiate a standard Eisengel beginner toolbag as a bonus .
Usually, the newcomers would have some advantages when completing their first tasks, to help them along .
Marvin only needed to complete a beginner patrol mission in order to get a complete beginner toolbag .
The toolbag consisted of three different things: A set of two maps, which consisted of a Crimson Wasteland map and a map of Eisengel's surroundings . An instant teleportation scroll that could send the user back to Eisengel if they were within a radius of one kilometer . And lastly, a small cloak that was said to be able to hide the user's aura .
As for the newcomers' patrols, they were relatively simple . They only had to patrol within Eisengel, but the time was quite long, as the typical stint was two weeks .
Marvin was prepared to stay at most twelve weeks in the Crimson Wasteland, so why would he waste two weeks on a patrol mission?
Thus, he chose the fastest way .
Even if that mission was truly a bit problematic .
. . .
The northern part of Eisengel's paddy field was a rough, mountainous area .
The rugged area was covered in a great number of spatial cracks and void whirlpools . If someone flew over the mountainous area, they would likely fall into a spatial crack or a void whirlpool and end up in some random corner of the Universe .
Thus, the Crimson Wasteland's people established a path .
This path was called the [Withered Leaf Promenade] .
From what he saw on the map, the Withered Leaf Promenade connecting Eisengel and the northern Black Swan Hill was a rather important communication path .
But recently, some monsters appeared there .
These monsters were native to the Crimson Wasteland .
The people here were familiar with the indigenous monsters . They included shriveled zombies, blood puppets, trolls, and other such creatures .
But this time, some Abominations and Trappers appeared within that group of monsters .
A patrol first discovered this abnormality and recorded it down before reporting back to the camp .
Then, a mission was posted, calling for an in-depth investigation .
The camp sent two of the most powerful scouts to investigate the matter of the Abominations and Trappers behind this .
The answer was soon obtained .
A third of the way down the Withered Leaf Promenade, there was a small canyon .
The canyon was originally empty, but now, there was an altar set up in the canyon .
The altar's owner was known as Balkh . This wasn't a given name, but rather a family name .
If Marvin wasn't wrong, the [Tyran Lord], who had the family name Balkh, was one of the most powerful lords of the Abyss .
As for the owner of the altar, Balkh, even if he wasn't his son, he was still related to the Tyran Lord .
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to use Balkh as his own family name .
The scouts investigated and understand that the Abominations and Trappers wandering along the Withered Leaf Promenade were all summoned by that Balkh from the altar .
He was apparently experimenting with some mysterious magic .
As a Demon Lord, Balkh had extreme magic power . He was a caster from the Abyss and he was much more powerful than common Legend Wizards .
It was well known that because of their constitutions, when Demons studied magic, it would be much simpler than for other lifeforms .
Because Chaos Magic Power originated from the Abyss, Demons and Magic Power were interrelated .
Both were in line with the law of [Chaos and Madness] .
But due to the Demons generally having low intelligence, they were mostly used to causing destruction and using power to solve their issues .
This led to most Demons relying on their innate skills to cast some spells .
Genuine Demon Wizards were rare .
And Balkh was one of them .
. . .
'The camp once sent two peak Assassins to eliminate Balkh, and I heard that one of them was a Level 4 Legend Ace Assassin…'
'But they failed . This shows that Balkh was on guard . That's quite normal, since even a Demon Wizard wouldn't dare to relax on the Crimson Wasteland . '
'The intel also said that Balkh raised a Magic Dragon . This Magic Dragon remained invisible while protecting him, and could absorb his injuries . '
'The two previous Assassins failed because of the obstruction of Balkh's Magic Dragon . And once the Assassins' first attack was blocked by the Wizard, he was able to rain down countless instant spells as a counterattack . '
Marvin continued moving along while calmly thinking of possible countermeasures .
Demon Wizard Balkh wasn't an easy target . Marvin was clear about this point from the moment he took over the mission .
But the bold and skilled Marvin wanted to try it .
This time, he chose a different method than the other Assassins .
The others chose to quietly hide and ignore all the monsters, going in a beeline toward Balkh .
But Marvin chose to kill his way over!
He didn't want let those monsters on the Withered Leaf Promenade go .
A wobbly shadow appeared in front of him .
It was covered in a black fog, with shattered cuffs around its legs and wrists .
The cuffs were imbued with powerful magic . Who knows how it could have destroyed them?
It was an Abomination .
One of the things Balkh summoned .
Marvin took a deep breath before silently entering Stealth .
With deft steps, he quickly moved around it, without the Abomination noticing Marvin's existence .
Marvin then glanced at a line on his interface and instantly used a skill .
"Woosh!"
A cold light flashed from his daggers, as the sneak attack was quietly launched . . .
