Chapter 693: The Final Sacrifice
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
When he heard Marvin say that the key was actually the Book of Nalu, Yin was filled with regrets.
This name might not ring a bell to some ordinary people, but old foxes like Yin were very familiar with the legend of the Book of Nalu.
Yin simply didn't believe that Marvin would be able to collect all the pages of the Book of Nalu!
And even if he really managed to do so, that still might not be a good thing.
The story of the death of that powerful God was a lesson that the Book of Nalu was incredibly dangerous.
But he was in a good mood after collecting the Vampires' Secret Precepts, so he decided that he didn't mind Marvin keeping the cloak. Instead, he gently reminded, "Don't you think something is wrong?"
'Wrong?'
Marvin was puzzled.
He was about to ask for clarification, but before he could, the book in Yin's hands suddenly burst and shrouded the Vampire Primogenitor.
"If you don't die here, I hope we meet again another day."
As his words trailed off, Yin disappeared from the strange room.
Marvin remained silent.
This millennia-old Vampire certainly wasn't a simple person.
He proposed a partnership earlier, but in the end, he left immediately after getting what he came for. His actions could be considered unprincipled.
But Marvin hadn't expected Yin to help him much anyways.
In fact, it was already quite good that the Vampire decided not to betray Marvin to get the Fate Tablet.
After Yin left, Marvin felt a lot more relieved.
At least he didn't have to guard against the possible sneak attack of this Vampire Primogenitor.
'But what did he mean by something wrong?'
Marvin frowned.
The process of getting the Fate Tablet went smoothly, with no apparent issues. Could this be what Yin was talking about?
This place didn't have the usual "Boss guarding the treasure" setup.
Isn't it better for it to be easier sometimes?
Marvin turned and looked at the entrance they had come here from.
His eyes pierced through the entrance and through the darkness to look at a dim shadow.
It was an azure-clothed woman!
The Azure Matriarch!
Marvin's furrowed his brows.
How could he have forgotten about her!
That woman had been following him and Yin in order to get an opportunity to undo the seal on the World Ending Twin Snakes!
Now, two of the valuable treasures in this strange place had been taken by Marvin and Yin. It was precisely now that the seal on the World Ending Twin Snakes was at the weakest it had ever been!
'Damn, what did she plan?!'
Marvin immediately sped up, rushing toward the hallway.
The distance from the strange room to the hallway was pretty short and Marvin only took an instant.
But when Marvin stepped into the hallway, his expression suddenly changed!
The resistance was a lot stronger than before!
Taking one step seemed like he was walking across a mountain!
If this continued, Marvin wouldn't be able to stop the Azure Matriarch!
He clenched his teeth!
Endless Path!
Using Endless Path when under the suppression of the sealing power was definitely a very risky move.
This strange sealing power had a very forceful restraining effect. As Marvin used Endless Path, his stamina was being consumed three times as fast as it normally would have been!
But he was moving slightly faster than before!
He reached that hall with sweat dripping down his forehead and saw that the Azure Matriarch was in the middle of doing something!
What was she doing?
Marvin continued trying to make his way to her.
...
There was still that fountain in the middle of the hall.
The Azure Matriarch looked very solemn.
She was holding countless candles in her arms.
The candles all seemed to be made of yellow wax.
But when he saw what they were, Marvin felt nauseated!
Human Skin Candles...
How many innocents had been murdered to make so many candles?
Each candle had to be made from 99 innocent souls!
This was the Chaos Power drawn from Ghosts!
Marvin looked helplessly on as the Azure Matriarch put the candles around the fountain.
Every five steps, she placed a candle on the ground.
Even at that time, Marvin could clearly see that a strange formation was revolving around the fountain.
That formation should have been drawn by the Azure Matriarch, taking advantage of the weakening of the seal.
And outside the hall, countless monsters were wailing like ghosts, apparently waiting for something excitedly!
Marvin gasped in shock!
His gaze finally fell back on the fountain.
The two beautiful figures were still holding each other in an exquisite embrace.
But at this moment, their expressions seemed frighteningly eerie to Marvin!
If he still couldn't guess who this pair was at this time, he would be an idiot!
'Those two are the sealed Twin Snakes!'
'No wonder the sealing power in that hall is so powerful and those monsters don't dare to approach!'
'The fountain is the final seal!'
'I saw it on the murals before, on the badly damaged murals, those followers prayed to that pair of snakes…'
Marvin's mind was working rapidly as he recalled all the information that he had about them.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
'Was Yin already aware of the seal on the World Ending Twin Snakes?'
If he had been able to guess the location of the seal in advance and prepare some preventive measures, things would be so bad!
This was all because he didn't have enough information!
Now, it seemed like it would be very difficult for Marvin to stop the Azure Matriarch.
When Marvin reached the last third of the distance to the hall, the Azure Matriarch had already finished preparing all the candles.
She glared coldly at Marvin, her eyes filled with contempt.
Marvin remained silent, trying to maintain Endless Path and draw closer.
He knew that he would still have a chance if he reached it before it finished!
But at this time, a restless sound came out from the group of monsters.
A naked girl was pushed forward by the spider, panicking as she was forced toward the hall!
Marvin paled!
The Azure Matriarch sneered, beckoning to that girl.
An expression of alarm appeared on that girl's face, and in an instant, a bloody rune appeared on her fair white skin.
She was completely covered with the runes of the Evil God!
"She is the final sacrifice?" Marvin asked with great difficulty.
The Azure Matriarch seemed to be in a good mood and showed a teasing expression. "What if she is?"
"Do you still think you can stop me this time?"
"You killed my younger brother, you destroyed all the foundations of the Twin Snakes Cult in Feinan."
"This debt is hanging over your head, Marvin!"
Marvin kept walking toward her, trying to stall. "But that all should only be coming to me."
"Innocents shouldn't be involved."
The Azure Matriarch chuckled. "Sorry, I'm not interested in chatting with you."
"The ritual has already begun."
As she said this, all the candles lit up by themselves.
The girl's shriek echoed throughout the hall!
