Chapter 578: Book of Nalu’s Information
Panda Novel
Each soul on the Candle Boats was firmly bound to its boat.
It was impossible to take these souls away by any normal means.
And apart from the Book of Nalu, Marvin didn't carry a Soul Vessel on him.
He wasn't a Necromancer, after all. Although he was carrying all kinds of miscellaneous items, he couldn't cover everything.
After asking for Jay's consent, he quickly opened the book of Nalu and absorbed Jay's soul into it!
Suddenly, an alarm rang out from the wharf!
All the busy Reapers were startled as their gazes converged onto that empty boat!
A silhouette had quickly jumped out, leaving the dark river and heading for the shore!
The Reapers' reaction couldn't be considered slow, but by the time they tried to pursue, Marvin had already disappeared!
...
At the bottom of a hill, Marvin let Jay come out.
"Thank you, Mister."
The boy showed a sincere smile before his expression became bland once more. "I have some wishes I want to satisfy, but I don't know what I should do now."
Marvin remained silent for a moment.
The previous situation had been an emergency, forcing him to make a decision on the spot. Because he was sure that the boy was Jay, who he had fought side by side with in the past, he unhesitantly snatched his soul from the Underworld.
But he had no idea about how to deal with the consequences.
Maybe Necromancer Fidel would have some ideas.
Marvin knew that many Necromancers in Feinan knew how to inject a soul into a Life Stone or a Phylactery, which turn the person into something like a Lich.
But if that happened, his soul would be forever unable to be taken in by the Underworld.
If he died, it would also mean the death of his soul.
Marvin didn't know what to do with Jay for now.
He thought about it, before cautiously saying, "If you keep wandering around on Feinan, you'll be found by the Underworld's Reapers again."
"They will take you to the Underworld and you'll forget yourself… If you believe me, you can wait in this book for some time. If I find a better solution, I'll discuss it with you. How about it?"
The boy nodded. He hesitated for a bit before suddenly asking, "Mister… Can you tell me your name?"
"I am called Marvin."
Jay revealed a splendid smile. "Hello Marvin, I am Jay."
...
After storing Jay's soul in the Book of Nalu once again, Marvin set off.
Marvin's Book of Nalu currently hosted three souls, two of which were fragments of souls. Only Jay's was intact.
Marvin used his strong will and directly ordered the Book of Nalu to not act against Jay. This allowed him to keep going forward without worrying.
Meeting Jay on the River Styx was unexpected, but it didn't influence Marvin's mission.
He had to get his hands on Sodom's Blades!
If he could also obtain the Blood Emperor's Slaughterer Set, that would be even better!
Although the Slaughterer Set was the best equipment for a Swordsman, a Ruler of the Night could also wear it.
From the attributes shown on the forums, the Slaughterer Set could increase Marvin's strength by at least 20%.
For an item that wasn't even for his class, this was already quite a huge improvement.
...
After the River Styx was a hilly area, and west from there was the Rotten Mushroom Swamp, which was always covered in fog. The dividing line that separated the swamp was quite clear: a few rotten mushrooms were scattered, forming a boundary. Not only were these mushrooms stinky, but if a living being got too close, the fungus growing on the mushrooms would automatically explode so violently that a large area around them would be caught in the blast!
According to estimations, the force of the fungus explosion would be equivalent to the Legend Spell, Thunder Purgatory!
And furthermore, the spores in the gas released from the mushrooms had parasitic, corrosive, paralytic, and hallucinogenic properties.
Even if a Legend accidentally got caught in an explosion, they would almost surely regret it!
In fact, regardless if it was the fungus explosion or the rotten mushroom itself, they were all products of the Snake Witch's outstanding alchemy.
These irregularly scattered rotten mushrooms seemed harmless at first glance, but Marvin could tell that this was clearly a minefield!
He had been drooling for such powerful alchemy items for a long time. That Alchemist in his territory really was too unreliable. If the Snake Witch was sensible, he wouldn't mind bringing this Legend Alchemist back to his territory!
Of course, he knew that the Snake Witch almost certainly wouldn't listen to him, so he was actually prepared to kill the Snake Witch!
But not now.
He had to get Sodom's Blades first.
The terrain ahead of him started to become more complicated.
Aside from the hills, there were also some sparse caves.
The structure of the caves was very strange. They were roughly half as tall as a person, and there were some traces indicating that this place wasn't deserted.
Marvin crouched, roughly checking the trails.
'Those are Arachnee footprints.'
'Seems like the tribe isn't far from here.'
But at that time, the Book of Nalu suddenly became scalding hot.
Warning signs burst out in his mind!
"What's going on!?"
Startled by the strange phenomenon, Marvin immediately opened the Book of Nalu.
'I got a reaction!'
'There are other pages in the vicinity!'
The Rebirth page of the Book of Nalu seemed to be extremely excited!
"Quickly give me the 11th page, once I swallow it, my ability will greatly increase! And at that time, I'll also be able to help you deal with your enemy!"
Its voice seemed full of temptation as it urged, "This is what you promised, I helped you hold back the Destroyer, you have to let us fuse."
Marvin really had promised it.
In the Chromatic Dragons' Library, he had been forced to helplessly agree because of the circumstances. But fortunately, he hadn't set a time limit, so he had always let it drag on.
As time passed, he felt the Book of Nalu's temptation becoming more and more intense.
It also showed a certain degree of desire toward his own body!
This wasn't a good news.
Marvin made sure to stay calm as he asked, "You should be able to tell, which page is it?"
"2nd Page, [Prosperity]!" [Rebirth] answered very decisively!
Marvin's mind shook when he realized which page that was!
It was actually Prosperity.
Didn't that mean that Black Knight Sangore was also in the vicinity?
But just as Marvin was distracted by the revelation, the page in his hand suddenly turned into a scarlet light!
A sinister skull appeared in the tip of the light!
"Woosh!"
The 2nd page of the Book of Nalu, [Rebirth], directly rushed into Marvin's mind!
In an instant, Marvin felt as if his head was splitting open!
