He wasn’t sure what had awoken her that time… Maybe it was because something triggered the start of the 2nd Cocooning.
In any case, Marvin had already killed Morella, and there was no point making guesses about it anymore.
What he cared the most about right now was the Frost Heart… and something else!
A sword was floating horizontally above the Frost Heart.
That sword had a very strange shape. It didn’t seem to be made of any metal, instead looking like it was a lump of stone in the shape of a sword.
The strangest part was that the sword’s tip was stuck to a floating yellow parchment!
Marvin couldn’t help but be startled when he realized what it was!
Book of Nalu!
He hadn’t known that there was actually a page of the Book of Nalu in the Eternal Frozen Spring.
He was too familiar with that thing. He could tell what it was with just a glance.
Now that he had noticed, the Book of Nalu he had in his possession was eager to go for it!
‘Could the Night Monarch have used the Book of Nalu to suppress the Frost Heart, and then used this sword to suppress the Book of Nalu?’
‘Then, he used those three items, along with the seals to forcibly keep down the Final Ghost Mother?’
Marvin was a bit doubtful.
From the visible restraining aura of those items, it could be seen that they formed a loop.
Marvin wasn’t a Master Alchemist, and he was also an amateur when it came to arrays. Despite possessing the Wisdom ability, he lacked too much information when it came to these things.
He currently had three pages of the Book of Nalu, there was one in the Night Monarch’s tomb, one in Hathaway’s tower, and one here. This meant that Marvin had more or less gathered over half of the pages!
Others might be afraid of the backlash from using the Book of Nalu.
But Marvin had the Wisdom Chapter!
This was probably the only treasure in Feinan that could suppress the Book of Nalu.
Thus, he didn’t hesitate to step forward and pull the sword away, grabbing the page of the Book of Nalu!
The sword had scars of ice scored into it and looked as smooth as silk, as if it was a masterpiece.
There were several complicated characters on the side of the sword hilt.
‘High Elven Language?’ Marvin frowned. He knew a bit about High Elven Language.
‘Agate?’
‘This sword is called Agate?’
‘This name seems a bit familiar.’
‘Hold on… The Nine Elven Swords!’
“Glorious Wing, Agate!’
Marvin’s eyes glimmered as he realized what a treasure he had picked up!
That sword was actually one of the Nine Elven Swords, called Agate. It was even more precious than Glorious Wind, which had been passed down through the royal family.
He would never have expected Agate to be in such a place.
But before Marvin could digest the joy of having found one of the Nine Elven Swords, the Frost Heart suddenly started becoming restless!
It seemed that since Marvin took Agate and the Book of Nalu, the page wasn’t restrained anymore and the Frost Heart suddenly began to shake like crazy.
Before Marvin could decide what to do about it, the Frost Heart suddenly crumbled into powder.
That powder followed the icy layer along the Eternal Frozen Spring and headed toward some unknown place!

Marvin stared blankly as the Frost Heart collapsed, turning into fragments of dust that flowed along the Eternal Frozen Spring before floating toward the surface.
He could only awkwardly look at that scene, unable to do anything.
Because when he wanted to make a move, he felt a powerful power locking his body in place!
He was actually locked in time!
This was something unimaginable because there shouldn’t have been anyone that could use such an ability that was anywhere near his location.
One possibility he could think of was that it was a side-effect of the Frost Heart shattering.
It all indicated that something big had to be happening.
After all, the Eternal Frozen Spring had remained unchanged for so many years, yet its seal was recently broken through and now the Frost Heart within crumbled away!
Marvin also hadn’t known what kind of effect would appear after killing the Final Ghost Mother!
He could only watch in frustration as these fragments drifted away.
He could feel that the temperature in the surroundings was slowly rising.
But this wasn’t good news!
…
Desolate Pambo Sea.
A three-mast sailboat was slowly travelling westward.
Many nobles dressed in sumptuous clothes were gathered on the desk. They were ordinary Humans with a group of strong Fighters at their side.
After the Universe Magic Pool shattered, the Wizard Era came to an end.
Feinan’s South almost completely fell apart, especially the southeast part of the Six Pearl Harbors and the area around the Three Ring Towers.
But there weren’t as many Wizards in the western regions, and the monsters didn’t become as frightening.
So after the first attack, there were still many city-states that had yet to be attacked by monsters or out-of-control Wizards.
But the Wizards were transforming quickly into Wizard Monsters, and those that still hadn’t transformed yet were panicking.
And as that disaster played out, the poor could only resign themselves to their fates while the rich prepared to make their way out.
Many were trying to find a way to leave the place that once nurtured them.
They had heard that, although still dangerous, the eastern region of the Dead Area was a lot safer since there were fewer Wizards.
Thus, the nobles of the western coast of Feinan joined together and began to group up, bringing their families, guards, and their property as they embarked on a long migration.
Pambo Sea was a very frightening body of water to sail across. Some people died halfway, and some ships crashed in the storm. Not many people could sail to the end.
The luck of that three-mast ship had clearly held out.
Although everyone on the deck seemed pale because of the long trip, no one had fallen sick or ended up in a severe condition.
“Hey, Jack, gimme an estimate of the travel time.”
A handsome youth complained to a sailor next to him, “I can’t stand this dull trip anymore.”
The sailor smiled and looked at the nautical chart for a moment before conscientiously saying, “If our course didn’t deviate and if the wind and sea current are advantageous, we will need at most three days to reach Sunrise Island.”
The youth frowned in dissatisfaction. “Can’t you go faster?”
The sailor scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
At that time, an obese middle-aged man on the side rebuked, “We aren’t on a trip, we are fleeing!”
“Martin, remember this, we are no longer mighty nobles. If we can reach the Dead Area, it would only be due to God Lance showing us some favor.”
“God?” the youth sneered disdainfully. “For us to fall to this stage, isn’t it those Gods’ fault?”
“Those filthy so-called “Gods” shattered the Universe Magic Pool. And that lunatic woman wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation to ascend. If not for Great Hero Marvin killing her, our lives might have been ensnared by that lunatic. After all this, you actually still believe in Gods? Dear Father, I see that you are really hopeless.”
The middle-aged man was flabbergasted for several moments before he finally collected his witch and retorted, “The Universe Magic Pool was personally established by Lance, and it blessed us for a millennium. I believe that as the supr
eme God, he definitely would have done something to protect us if he were still there.”
The youth sneered, about to snap back at his father, when a cracking sound suddenly came from the boat!
“What happened? Did we hit a reef! Jack?!” The youth shouted.
The sailor quickly checked outboard for the origin of the sound.
After a brief moment, his expression became very strange.
“What happened?” The middle-aged man seemed surprised as he asked, “Why does it feel a bit cold?”
That sailor turned and pointed at the sea in shock.
“Lord…”
“Frozen…”
“Lord…”
“Completely frozen!”
…
Frozen!
When the Frost Heart shattered, the frightening ice essences went against the stream and a strange climate appeared in the Pambo Sea between Feinan and the Dead Area!
Such a huge sea was frozen!
And even the water in the air crystallized and started dropping like hail!
The people on the eastern part of the Dead Area and the western of Feinan discovered with consternation the surface of the sea turned to ice and the temperature rapidly depleted!
It was as if spring had just ended and made way for winter.
Many ships and boats were frozen in ice!
People were left helpless, unaware of how this had happened!
…
West Coast, abandoned Ancient Castle Tulip.
The lowest floor of the maze.
There was a huge underground lake.
Some fragments were going against the flow as a cold aura of ice engulfed everything, freezing the lake in a flash.
But at that time, the chains of the coffins above the lake broke.
“Rumble!”
The coffin fell onto the layer of ice. The lid was opened.
Then, a fair hand stretched out of the coffin.
“Disaster falling, sea freezing.”
“The time finally arrived…” A lazy voice drifted out from the coffin.
It sounded as if someone had been sleeping for a long time and finally woke up after hearing an alarm.
“Crash!”
The coffin shattered.
A naked man with closed eyes floated into the air.
His body seemed close to perfection. He had a delicate appearance, slender fingers, and the skin was the palest white.
“Let me think…”
“Right, my name is… Yin!”
“How many years has it been? Let’s see what my children are doing.”
Then, a faint voice echoed in the hearts of all the Vampires in Feinan:
“Tulip…”
“I am Yin…”
…
The glacier far in the North.
The woman who had suffered having seven heads get crushed by O’Brien slowly opened her eyes.
Faintly, two little snakes, one red and one green, floated in her eyes.
Frightening power from the Ethereal Plane surged through as the hissing sound of snakes spread throughout the entire Far North!
“Rebirth… Take back… Our power…”
“Fourth… Tablet…”
The glacier then burst out, and an azure shadow rushed out of the glacier. Under the sunshine, on the beautiful ice layer, nine shadows could faintly be seen!

Northeast Feinan.
The dark shadows from the lower planes couldn’t resist trying to get a share of the action.
At the Night Walker Headquarters.
“The Molten Clan has gone crazy… There has never been such an exaggerated attack in the past millennium, especially since Leader killed the Molten Lord.”
A pale, slender female Night Walker reported, “Our people can’t keep going. Most of the Rangers and mercenaries are already preparing to retreat. The Blue Mountain’s Dwarves are also getting ready to flee.”
“We can’t keep defending the stronghold.”
In the cabin, three of the Night Walkers Organization’s Legends were present.
Constantine and O’Brien had serious expressions.
When they left the Supreme Jungle and went to help the North, they never thought that things would reach this stage.
This place was the Night Walkers’ northern headquarters, the Dark Forest Stronghold.
Few people in Feinan knew about this place.
This was the only land in Feinan known to border the Nine Hells.
The plane extended toward that place, and its space was gradually distorting downward.
And there was a solid node that linked these two completely unfamiliar territories. If not for the Universe Magic Pool’s faint protection, repelling the powerhouses of hell from approaching, it might have already fallen to the Devils.
But now, Dark Forest Stronghold was facing its harshest ordeal.
In the past week, all the fortress’ defenders came out and struck back against the forces of the Molten Clan.
But they failed.
They suffered a disastrous defeat after falling into the Devils’ ambush.
Despite O’Brien having tyrannical strength, which let him cut a bloody path out of the ambush to let the survivors return to the stronghold, the stronghold was still on the verge of falling.
It had to be known that the Dark Forest Stronghold was occupied by the locals. The main fighting force consisted of some Rangers of the North and various recruited mercenaries, while the Blue Mountain Dwarves that had been living here for many generations also contributed notable numbers.
But under the frightening attacks of the Molten Clan, these forces were almost wiped out.
If the Universe Magic Pool was still intact as usual, they would have had the option of recruiting help from the nearby city-states to replenish their military strength.
After all, the Night Walkers had accumulated shocking amounts of wealth across the generations.
But this time, the North was in a mess due to Chaos Magic Power. The inhabitants had already fallen into an unprecedentedly weak state.
And because of the disappearance of the Planar Barrier, more powerful Greater Devils began to appear as reinforcements for Hell’s side.
In that previous battle, three Greater Devils, with strength comparable to that of some Gods, had appeared together and jointly caused the defenders’ defeat.
Despite O’Brien being extremely courageous, he was still outnumbered.
The most frightening thing was that these three Greater Devils were well known for attacking Feinan in the past.
In this world, only one person could order these three to join hands.
And that was the Nine Hells’ Molten Archdevil!
The Molten Archdevil seemed to have taken advantage of the unstable state of the Dark Forest Stronghold to make his move!
Thus, the three Night Walkers had very wearied expressions.
If the Molten Archdevil really acted, no one there would be able to stop him!
…
“Hell has already begun putting their plans into motion.”
O’Brien coughed and furrowed his brows. “I heard that the Supreme Jungle suffered an invasion from the Scorched Hell. Diross and the Molten Archdevil actually attacked Feinan at the same time. This is really strange.”
“The Abyss, which always used to keep Hell in check, is being strangely silent. There is no news of any Demon Lord making a move on Hell. And that group of Gods is in battle with the Astral Beast… We can’t hope for the Beasts or the Evil Spirits to keep Hell in check for us.”
“Only we are left.”
These words made the other two sink into a somber silence.
O’Brien smiled as he concluded, “You go.”
“I was born here, I shall be buried here.”
“But the Night Walkers’ fire can’t stop burning.�
��
Constantine and that woman firmly shook their heads.
O’Brien firmly stated, “I am the Night Walkers’ Leader, you can’t disobey my command.”
“Sophie, Constantine. As the current Leader of the Night Walkers, I order you to lead our remaining brothers and sisters in retreat.”
“Go to White River Valley, Marvin will need your help.”
After saying this, he thought for a bit before handing a box to Constantine and adding, “Give this to Marvin, I believe he will understand what I mean.”
Constantine was stunned. “Are you sure?”
Sophie strongly argued, “How could you directly hand the [Eternal Night Paradise] to a child?”
“Could it be that you really want to pass the leadership of the Night Walkers onto him?”
O’Brien’s expression became very cold. “You have no right to question my decision.”
“You only need to carry out my command!”
Sophie angrily stomped her feet, unable to stop her tears from flowing out.
She looked at O’Brien’s face with a complicated expression.
Constantine clenched his teeth as he put the box away.
“Quick! Go south!”
“He came!”
O’Brien’s expression suddenly changed.
Frightening black flames descended from the sky and started to collapse the city walls. Everyone started running for their lives!
In that distant reddish-black hole, countless Devil charged their way out.
A cold voice made its way over: “Kill!”
“Boom!”
The Dark Forest Stronghold’s city walls instantly collapsed.
Countless souls were directly sucked away, and a black hole even formed in mid-air.
Standing in the ruins, three Night Walkers looked bitterly at the sky.
O’Brien flew forward, killing his way through the Devil Army rushing out of that hole!
Sophie let out some bitter sobs. She wanted to join O’Brien, but she was pulled back by Constantine.
“We have to go,” Constantine said resolutely.
The two began retreating.
But even so, they still couldn’t help looking back.
The last thing they saw was the scene of that shadow pouncing on those Devils like a fierce tiger on its prey.
