Night Ranger

Everything ended so quickly that Marvin even felt like it was all a dream.

Was the enemy too weak, or did he somehow become too strong?

He looked at the Demon Subduing Sword in his hands and shook his head.

Final Ghost Mother Morella was definitely dead.

But the problem of the Dark Specters wasn’t over yet.

When the Final Ghost Mother died, all the wandering Ghost Mothers and Dark Specters in the Underdark died too.

This was a characteristic of the Dark Specter Clan.

But the invasion of the Dark Specters against Feinan wasn’t over.

Marvin glanced at the radiance shooting through the sky.

At the moment of her death, the Final Ghost Mother shared Feinan’s coordinates with her peers.

This signal let her companions know that she had failed to conquer this plane.

The Dark Specters would once again descend upon this world. They might even come with more than three Ghost Mothers at that time!

Feinan would face an even grimmer ordeal.

But this wasn’t something Marvin needed to worry about at this moment.

After killing Morella, he had taken care of the immediate problem.

He suddenly noticed that there was some sort of change happening in the Eternal Frozen Spring. Thus, he started going deeper into the ice, heading for the core.

...

In a hidden ravine.

The Hermit who was serenely drinking tea suddenly stopped moving, stiffening on the spot.

His eyes were looking into the distance. The death of the Final Ghost Mother appeared before his eyes.

Without him noticing, a tear escaped from his eyes.

The big frog on the side blurted in shock, ”That kid truly did it?”

The Hermit nodded, muttering with some disbelief, ”How could there be someone that could escape from Morella’s maze of illusions?”

”The last time had been resolved successfully due to the God of Wisdom intervening. The Wisdom God has already long left this world… but he did leave behind two Artifacts that might be able to suppress Morella’s spirit attack.”

”Did that kid manage to find that kind of treasure?”

The big frog couldn’t help but ask, ”What treasure?”

The Hermit let his tears flow down, but there seemed to be no emotion on his face.

He took another sip of tea and slowly said, ”A treasure that can destroy this world.”

”The other one is… A treasure that can save this world.”

...

At the core of the Eternal Frozen Spring.

All the moisture in the air had already condensed long ago.

Marvin was shivering all over as he followed a small crack in the layer of ice.

The strange part was that the core was in a room of ice that was still wide open.

It might have been opened by Morella before. Whatever the case, Marvin easily walked over.

When he entered the room, his body started freezing!

His outstanding cold resistance seemed to have lost its effect.

Marvin was startled, preparing to withdraw, when suddenly, a warm feeling burst out from the advanced False Divine Vessel and drove the extreme chill out of his body.

This was the power of the Laws!

Marvin now was completely unaffected by the cold.

The advanced False Divine Vessel was a treasure that was comparable to a genuine Divine Vessel, and it had many uses.

Marvin walked on.

The floating object should be the ancient treasure in the Eternal Frozen Spring, the Frost Heart.

The Frost Heart was said to have originated from the Elemental Plane of Water and had been borrowed by the Night Monarch to suppress Morella.

They took advantage of the fact that mind-based lifeforms would become slow and sluggish in the cold, even a monster like Morella. Extremely low temperatures could force it to sink into a deep slumber.

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!
