Chapter 592: Battle for the Blades! [2]

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

The crimson blades kept ripping through the void, creating many void fragments.

If Marvin didn’t dodge well enough, even if he wasn’t cut down by the blade, he would be torn apart by the fragments.

Marvin calmly reacted at the crucial moment.

Under the rain of attacks from the withered corpse, a dazzling light burst out of his body.

Shapeshift Sorcerer – Diamond Shape!

Eight seconds of extremely high resistance to physical attacks!

A shiny layer of light covered his body. If not for his clothes being more suitable for a rogue, he would have looked like a Monk using [Unbreakable Diamond]!

“Crash!”

Countless void fragments hit Marvin’s body, but they only seemed like a spring breeze blowing on the surface of a peaceful lake. Besides faint ripples, there was nothing else.

Marvin’s hands moved like lightning, grabbing at the corpse!

He had waited patiently while coming up with a countermeasure against the Spirit. Now he burst out at this moment!

[Edge Snatch]!

His right hand grabbed the corpse’s withered wrist and used the skill learned from the Elven Prince!

[Edge Snatch used…]

[Skill check…]

[Edge Snatch failed!]

The wrist pulled away from Marvin’s hand and the blade struck at him again, going straight for Marvin’s neck!

Marvin frowned. Despite Diamond Shape being active, it wasn’t the true Unbreakable Diamond skill!

If those frightening daggers really cut his body, he would still be hurt.

Shadow Escape!

His silhouette suddenly disappeared before reappearing, dodging this blade in this moment of life and death.

Then, his thrust his hands out once again!

[Edge Snatch]!

The first time didn’t work, so he would try it again.

This was Marvin’s only hope for victory!

This time, perhaps because he added an extra movement, Marvin managed to get some results.

His left hand grabbed the back of the corpse’s hand, and his right foot struck suddenly from an extremely crafty angle!

“Bam!”

Marvin’s right leg hit the left arm of the corpse!

There was a crisp sound, and although that arm hadn’t been fractured, it went slightly limp for a moment.

’Now!’

[Edge Snatch successful!]

The scarlet dagger immediately landed in Marvin’s hand.

A powerful force rushed through his mind, making him feel like he was about to explode!

A crazy voice echoed in his mind, ’You dare covet my legacy?!’

’I’ll dismember you into thousands of pieces!’

’You can become my slave, and fall into eternal oblivion!’

Marvin inwardly sneered and answered, ’I’m afraid not, Your Majesty.’

’The former you might have been able to, but right now, you don’t have that kind of ability.’

’You are just a poor Evil Spirit hiding in your old blades. You aren’t even a true Spirit. What meaning is there to use this kind of method to keep a part of your consciousness?’

And Marvin didn’t stay idle while they talked.

He also launched his counterattack.

Diamond Shape was soon going to disappear. He wanted to use this time land the final blow on that corpse!

Another Edge Snatch!

After losing one of the daggers, the corpse’s movement slowed greatly. It didn’t even seem to be at the Godly Dexterity boundary anymore.

Marvin went all-out, and after using Edge Snatch twice in a row, he managed to grab the other dagger!

That violently powerful force once again rushed through his chest, his brain, and every corner of his body!

It seemed almost like he was about to be swallowed by that power!

But Marvin still kept his wits about him.

He coldly watched the corpse.

It was only standing there, stiff and motionless.

“Rumble…” An unpleasant sound came out of its throat.

The next moment, the body began to dry up very quickly.

Without the power of Sodom’s Blades to support it, this corpse was no different from other corpses!

Crash!

Ultimately, it turned into a pile of bones, scattering among the rest of the bones in the area.

Marvin sighed in relief.

He really made the correct decision.

With how the Bloody Emperor was, how could he keep a part of his soul as a true Spirit? He wasn’t a great character like the Night Monarch.

Thus, Marvin inferred that he must have put a part of his soul away somewhere.

And this place was very safe.

He immediately thought of those incredible daggers!

The Bloody Emperor likely had remaining affection toward his Artifact that had helped him so much, and the Sodom Blades were also considered to be among the best Artifacts.

He had most likely placed his Spirit in his daggers!

This was also why there was no reaction before Marvin tried to grab Sodom’s Blades. The Spirit only appeared when the daggers touched Marvin’s palm.

Because that was when he had been awakened by Marvin.

And now, Marvin forcibly snatched Sodom’s Blades by using Edge Snatch, leaving behind an empty, dessicated corpse.

The Spirit was still inside the Artifact!

Usually, ordinary people who didn’t go through various protective rituals wouldn’t dare touch a weapon with a Spirit inside.

After all, such a weapon would obey the Spirit unconditionally. It would be troublesome for Marvin to subdue Sodom’s Blades with the Spirit inside.

It was even possible that if he was careless, he would have his consciousness swallowed by the Spirit and become a living host!

But Marvin was very confident about this part.

Facing the Book of Nalu for all this time had made his willpower reach a very frightening level.

And with the addition of the Wisdom Chapter, his mental fortitude was no worse than that of the Gods.

Regardless of what the evil power tried to do to him, his mind wouldn’t be influenced!

Marvin could feel that berserk, searing air burst from Sodom’s Blades, trying to attack his mind.

But unfortunately for the Bloody Emperor, whenever this power tried to attack, the countless runes floating there would automatically emit some soothing energy!

These runes were in the Ancient God Language and formed the contents of the Wisdom Chapter.

Marvin couldn’t make sense of what they depicted, but they helped Marvin in their own way.

His willpower was unaffected despite the repeated attacks from the Bloody Emperor’s Spirit.

“Give up your futile struggles.”

A smile appeared in the corner of Marvin’s mouth as he jeered, “Maybe if you change your tone, I might accept.”

Suddenly, on the other side of the room, the Black Knight’s hulking form appeared out of the stone gate!
