He looked at Sodom’s Blades, which Marvin was wielding in his hands, and immediately charged while brandishing his spear!
Marvin sneered, not worried about the Black Knight at all.
He had always avoided Sangore before. Firstly it was because the latter was strong and kept many helpers with him, so he really wasn’t easy to handle. Secondly, Marvin’s goal had been to get Sodom’s Blades, not to kill the Black Knight.
Now that the Artifact was in his hands, his primary goal had been accomplished. And the Black Knight had entered this mysterious space alone. In such a situation, Marvin wouldn’t be afraid of the Black Knight at all!
He burst out with great speed, leaving behind an afterimage.
The tip of the Black Knight’s spear looked frightening and carried tremendous power, looking like it was able to pierce through space itself.
But though that spear was formidable, it should only be about as powerful as Azure Leaf at best, just a Legendary Spear.
Marvin personally experienced the power of Sodom’s Blades, so he knew that the Black Knight’s attack simply couldn’t threaten him!
A single evasive step would enough to avoid the Black Knight’s attack.
The next second, his body suddenly burst out!
He instantly closed the remaining distance between the two. Sangore clearly hadn’t thought that Marvin’s physical abilities were at this level, because he wasn’t able to react in time!
This was the importance of reaction speed.
In a fierce melee fight, movement speed wasn’t the most important trait. Instead, reaction speed was more crucial.
Marvin took advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the curved dagger in his hand ripped through the air, slashing in a perfect arc.
This attack was aimed at the Black Knight’s forehead, but suddenly, an inexorable power condensed on his wrist!
His movements suddenly became sluggish!
This falter in Marvin’s movement opened up a huge flaw in his defenses.
The Black Knight suddenly raised his spear to block the curved dagger while at the same time kneeing Marvin.
It happened so suddenly that even Marvin couldn’t avoid it!
The Black Knight’s steel-like knee crashed onto Marvin’s abdomen with a muffled sound!
Marvin almost puked blood!
He flew back ten meters!
Fortunately, the Black Knight had been startled by Marvin’s attack, so this knee strike didn’t have his full power behind it. Otherwise, Marvin might have been critically injured!
…
‘Damn!’
‘I was shot in the back while fighting!’
Marvin awkwardly crawled out of the bone pile.
This time, he was really furious.
Just now, he had a huge opportunity to kill Black Knight Sangore, but instead, he was restrained by the Spirit inside Sodom’s Blades and received a harsh injury instead.
He hadn’t given the Spirit enough credit.
‘Without my permission, you’ll never be able to control this pair of daggers,’ a cold voice echoed in his mind. ‘Your willpower is quite formidable, which surprised me. But I am the master of my blades!’
Marvin felt a tingling pain in his abdomen as his eyes became cold.
He gripped Sodom’s Blades tighter and inwardly said, ‘You think I won’t be able to kill that Black Knight without these daggers?’
The other side was silent.
Marvin sneered, ‘I’ll get rid of that Black Knight first, and then I’ll slowly consume the power of your soul. Do you think you’ll have any chance of success?’
Sodom’s Blades shivered slightly.
“Clang! Clang!”
As the sounds echoed, the Black Knight saw the two curved daggers get stabbed into the wall!
The daggers kept shaking, like they were trying to struggle out of the wall, but they shortly found out that this was futile.
[Spirit Orb – Harvest]!
The powerful skill engulfed the Spirit inside Sodom’s Blades. After all these years, there wasn’t much energy left in the Bloody Emperor’s soul fragment, so under the powerful effect of Harvest, most of the power in the Artifact became sealed.
The curved daggers no longer shook.
Marvin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth while grabbing a pair of curved daggers before focusing on the Black Knight.
Strangely, Sangore felt his heart pounding.
He hadn’t felt that feeling for a long time. In Feinan, he had always looked at others the way Marvin was looking at him now.
This was the apathetic gaze of someone at the top of the food chain.
This made Sangore furious.
He charged at Marvin with a roar.
Marvin instantly used Shadow Escape to approach the Black Knight!
“I know you are there!” Sangore roared while stabbing at Marvin’s location.
Thanks to the Black Knight’s experience from fighting for many years, he was able to immediately react to Marvin’s probing attack.
Unfortunately, the place he stabbed… was empty!
Marvin’s shadow brushed past, avoiding the attack without using any further skills.
The Black Knight was shocked!
This wasn’t a speed that Humans could reach.
But at this moment, Marvin simply didn’t notice it.
He had an indescribable jittery feeling in his chest, which he was sure had come from Sodom’s Blades. During the earlier sabotage attempt, the Bloody Emperor had tried to transmit some Evil Spirit Power deep into his mind.
Although he had failed, there were still some remnants.
Marvin was quite annoyed at this, so he really needed a target to vent on!
And the best one right now was the reckless Black Knight!
His eyes turned faintly red, as he had suffered quite a heavy blow from Sangore’s attack. It was the first serious injury in a while.
He wanted to kill the Black Knight immediately!
Marvin’s speed kept increasing, but the changes on his interface didn’t catch his attention.
Only his opponent, Sangore, noticed Marvin’s frightening changes.
His speed was astonishing. A pair of ordinary Magic daggers burst with frightening power in his hands.
Despite being a stronger weapon, the Black Knight’s spear simply couldn’t follow Marvin’s curved daggers!
The distance between both sides widened and shrank, but everything was under Marvin’s control.
A dagger slash ruthlessly cut through Sangore’ armor. Despite his armor being extremely sturdy, under Marvin flurry of unpredictable attacks, some holes and cracks started appearing.
Marvin looked like a frightening ghost, fighting Sangore with speed exceeding the latter’s understanding!
In the Black Knight’s eyes, he had gone from fighting a difficult foe to being completely surrounded by them!
This speed… Made Sangore feel a chill.
This wasn’t a speed that mortals should have.
This was the Godly Realm.
He clenched his teeth, taking out his final card!
The 2nd page of the Book of Nalu – Prosperity!
Chapter 594: Seed (1)
Chapter 594: Seed (1)

The Book of Nalu was Black Knight Sangore’s last resort.
Marvin was too fast for Sangore to use his special abilities from Hell that Saydis had granted him.
Offensive skills weren’t very useful when he couldn’t even keep track of his target.
Moreover, Sangore had found out from Saydis that Marvin was also closely related to Hell, so those abilities might not be able to injure him.
At this point, he could only take out his trump card!
The Book of Nalu was an Artifact, while also being a terrifying, evil book.
Marvin had always been wary of the Book of Nalu, making sure not to let it invade hi
s soul.
Because of how careful Marvin was, the Book of Nalu had no chance to control his mind, but he also wasn’t able to get many benefits from it.
Besides sometimes using it to control someone’s soul, the Book of Nalu was nothing more than a hot potato to Marvin.
But it was different for the Black Knight.
His soul had already been offered to Saydis so he had no problem with digging deep in the Book of Nalu, exploring the Artifact’s powers.
It could even be said that the power of the 2nd Page, Prosperity, was almost fully under his control.
“I command you!”
The Black Knight’s voice echoed through the room.
“Kneel!”
A powerful force began to burst out of the Book of Nalu, shrouding the whole room in a mix of crimson and yellow aura.
And as if following the Black Knight’s imposing order, Marvin’s originally flickering silhouette began slowing down at a visible rate!
It felt as if a big hand came out of nowhere and pressed down on Marvin.
That hand was pushing on his back, trying to force him to kneel!
Marvin frowned, knowing that this was the ability from the Book of Nalu!
He couldn’t kneel because if he did, he might become a slave like the two outside!
Marvin’s formidable willpower allowed him to resist the power of the Prosperity page.
Then, he took an item out from his chest pocket.
The Black Knight’s expression became unsightly!
After being in touch with the Book of Nalu for so many years, he naturally recognized what Marvin took out!
Compared to the rolled page in his hand, what Marvin was holding looked slightly more like a book.
He realized that Marvin had already obtained at least two pages of the Book of Nalu!
“How could it be? … No!”
The Black Knight froze. While he knew that Marvin had a page of the Book of Nalu, it hadn’t occurred to him that this youth might have more than one page!
For so many years, the Black Knight Monastery’s goal had been to secretly gather the pages of the Book of Nalu, but despite all their effort, they had only managed to gather some ambiguous information.
Sangore believed that the pages of the Book of Nalu should be extremely elusive and that most of them probably hadn’t even been found.
But the cruel truth hit him in the face.
Under Marvin’s cold stare, the power from the Prosperity page weakened greatly.
“Want me to kneel?”
“I’m afraid you aren’t able to make me.”
He opened the Book of Nalu in his hand, silently giving it an order.
‘Swallow!’
“Wuwuwu!”
The low whimper echoed through the air as the Book of Nalu in Marvin’s hands emitted an even brighter radiance.
The book in Marvin’s hands started causing a great suction force.
The Black Knight firmly grasped the Prosperity page in his hands, but it was futile.
Marvin’s Book of Nalu had been enhanced by consuming Divine Source!
The pages all had the ability to swallow or combine with each other.
Under the relentless pull from the 6th page, Rebirth, as well as the 11th page, Reincarnation, Prosperity finally broke out of the Black Knight’s hands.
The pale yellow parchment flew into Marvin’s hands like a moth attracted by fire, and quickly turned into a gentle glow as it merged with the other two pages of the Book of Nalu!
A formidable power was gathering in Marvin’s hands.
At the same time, the tempting voice beside his ears became even louder.
But this temptation was nothing in front of Marvin’s willpower.
With the Book of Nalu like that, Sodom’s Blades didn’t even seem worth mentioning.
In a few seconds, the pages of the Book of Nalu finished fusing.
Now it was thicker, and although there were only three pages, it seemed even more like an Artifact.
Marvin roused the runes of the Wisdom Chapter in his mind to suppress the restless Book of Nalu, leaving it in storage for now.
The power of the Book of Nalu had to be handled properly. Otherwise, unless he continued to increase his willpower, problems would arise.
After all, this book once made a God explode his own God Realm.
Marvin never relaxed.
“What next?” Marvin sneered arrogantly as he glanced at the Black Knight.
The latter’s expression became pale under his black helmet before he charged crazily at Marvin!
…
A minute later, Marvin had recovered, and he walked silently toward the stone wall.
After losing the blessing of the Book of Nalu, the poor Black Knight Sangore simply wasn’t Marvin’s opponent.
In order to settle the fight quickly, Marvin used Ruler’s Wrath.
In that limited space, the Black Knight simply couldn’t dodge well enough to avoid the attacks of such a powerful Ranger.
He died full of grievance, forcibly stomped to death by Marvin.
Because his soul was in Saydis’ hands, after his physical body was crushed, he would fall to oblivion.
His body was very sturdy, almost invulnerable.
But faced with Marvin’s might, under that frightening foot, Sangore was directly crushed to death.
Despite this, Marvin also felt some pain after returning to normal.
That guy really was made of metal. If he hadn’t lost his mind after losing the Book of Nalu, throwing himself at Marvin for no reason, Marvin would have had to pay a price to kill him, since he’d been weakened from using Diamond Shape.
But now, the Black Knight was dead, the Prosperity page was in his hands, and the other two had become Marvin’s slaves.
[Prosperity] had a fairly powerful soul-swallowing and control ability. Compared with [Rebirth], it could control more souls.
However, these people could only use a smaller portion of their strength, so in this regard, Prosperity was inferior to Rebirth.
Now that the pages had combined, the Book of Nalu’s pages mutually compensated for each of their weaknesses. Marvin felt a little weird now that he controlled four people, but he didn’t feel much strain.
‘Should still have room for two or three more.’
This was Marvin’s estimate.
But normally, Marvin wouldn’t go around seeking people out to swallow their souls and make them his subordinates.
…
Standing beside the wall, Marvin still had yet to notice the changes that he had undergone during the battle.
His attention was focused on Sodom’s Blades.
His hands were on the handles.
‘Now, let’s have a serious discussion…’ He transmitted this firm message to the Spirit inside the blades.
The latter remained silent for a long time.
It may have been shocked by Marvin’s spiritual power. After a long time, it slowly replied, ‘These are my weapons, no one can use them without my permission.’
‘You are indeed qualified to become their owners, but I need your help to do something.’
‘Before you do that, my blades will temporarily follow you, but you’ll be unable to use their full strength.’
Marvin narrowed his eyes. ‘Are you trying to negotiate with me?’
That voice bitterly responded, ‘I really hate to have my beloved weapons submit to someone else. If I were still alive, I would definitely dismember you.’
Marvin shrugged. ‘Unfortunately, you already died. A millennium has passed. You shouldn’t even have a fragment of your soul remaining.’
The Spirit sneered, ‘Even though I died, I can still take my Artifact down with me.’
‘I’ve always been their master.’
Marvin sighed. ‘There is no need. This is just a pair of weapons. You destroyed my best weapons, and I’ve yet to ask you for compensation.’
The Spirit snorted, ‘V
ulgar Human. You should know that your most beloved weapons would never betray you.’
‘Other things are unreliable.’
Marvin didn’t feel like listening to the tyrant’s story and bluntly asked, ‘What is it that you need?’
‘I have a seed,’ the Spirit quickly explained, ” and I need you to deliver it to a woman.”
‘It is extremely important. If you complete that task, these daggers will be yours, and I’ll disappear.’
An image of a woman appeared in Marvin’s mind.
“Eh?” Marvin was in a daze.
‘How could it be her?’ he wondered to himself.

In this world, there were always some unclear coincidences.
Marvin went to Devil Town to seek Sodom’s Blades. In fact, it first came from his instincts as a player. With his strength increasing, his equipment had to be changed too.
As a Ruler of the Night, other equipment might not be as important, but good weapons were essential.
Marvin had always been proud of how skillful he was at killing, but when fighting the Divine Servants in the recent days, his Legendary Daggers had already been somewhat behind.
An era ago, the Azure Leafs would be good enough.
But now it was after the Great Calamity!
This was the era of shining stars, and it was also the most chaotic era.
Even if Feinan post-Great Calamity didn’t look like the 3rd Era, which birthed countless geniuses, there were still quite a few emerging here and there. What was most terrifying about this period was that those Gods who left their names behind in the 3rd Era would set foot onto Feinan once more.
Although the Universe Magic Pool had yet to be breached at the moment, the shadows could always be seen quietly approaching.
Ambella, the 1st Divine Servant of the Dream God, was only a small part of a whole.
In the letter that Eve sent to Marvin, it was mentioned that a church of Dawn and Protection had been established in a small town in the North.
With a church appearing so quickly and robustly after the Great Calamity, if there was no Divine Servant behind it, Marvin wouldn’t believe it. In other words, a Divine Servant of the God of Dawn and Protection had already descended.
