Chapter 579: Counterattack

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

On the cold hills of the Underdark.

Marvin couldn't help kneeling down.

The immense pain flooded his mind, and he even felt like he was about to lose consciousness!

But he knew that he definitely couldn't pass out!

This was the Book of Nalu's counterattack!

When the 3rd soul entered the Book of Nalu, the evil page decided that it was time to fight back!

It was unwilling to become a Human's tool. On the contrary, it wanted Marvin to become its servant!

Just like Madeline and Raven.

Thus, it initiated a desperate attempt, forced its way into Marvin's mind.

It tried to take control of Marvin's consciousness.

In an instant, Marvin's head hurt like hell.

But he didn't faint. He clenched his teeth, and the fury in his eyes was practically gushing out!

"Bastard!

"

"You dare go after my mind!

"

Marvin went into a towering rage.

He managed to sit on the ground in a Monk's meditation position!

He turned his thoughts inward, into his consciousness!

...

After a few days, the battle over Marvin's consciousness was still being fought.

The Book of Nalu, which had turned into a red light, was crazily flying around in Marvin's mind, trying to control his consciousness!

But although it gave Marvin quite a huge headache, it was rather lacking in effectiveness.

A powerful energy burst out of Marvin's body and firmly surrounded the red light.

This power was refreshing and comfortable, and it gradually restored the places that had been attacked by the Book of Nalu.

At the same time, that energy formed a white sphere that very slowly surrounded the Book of Nalu!

"What is this thing!

"

"Why do you have this kind of thing in your body?!

"

The Book of Nalu burst into a startled bellow!

Marvin coldly watched the Book of Nalu's consciousness, not saying anything.

Although this sneak attack had caught Marvin unprepared, he actually managed to gain some benefits from it!

Because he hadn't been able to rein in the Book of Nalu's consciousness before, it had become a hidden danger.

But he actually had a chance this time. The Book of Nalu's consciousness took the initiative to merge with Marvin's consciousness!

This was an extremely risky move. If successful, it would be able to control Marvin's consciousness, turning Marvin into its slave.

But if it failed, it would be the opposite!

Marvin would be able to completely lock its consciousness and it would always remain as Marvin's tool.

'With my current frighteningly high willpower, even if a High God used Fate Change on me, I would be able to resist it.'

'A mere page of the Book of Nalu trying to swallow me?!'

Marvin gradually calmed down.

Under the provocation of the Book of Nalu, Fate Power - Wisdom completely erupted. Although the power was sparse, it was very powerful.

The power of Wisdom had always been what Evil and Chaos were most afraid of.

Thinking of this, Marvin was even more grateful to Lorie.

He silently swore that he absolutely had to do something to compensate for the little girl's losses.

With the protection of the Fate Power, the Book of Nalu simply didn't stand a chance!

And furthermore, he had something else!

With the help of the Fate Power lessening the threat, Marvin's consciousness returned to the outside world.

Fighting his headache, he pulled out an ancient-looking book from his storage.

He then opened it.

"Woosh!

"

Something magical happened, and the ancient book began to flip through its pages on its own. Marvin wasn't controlling it at all. Indescribable silver runes came pouring into Marvin's mind!

Marvin also didn't know the meaning of these runes.

But each rune appearing in his mind weakened the power of the Book of Nalu!

And the Fate Power was becoming stronger and denser.

In a short time, the ancient book's pages stopped flipping and the runes on them disappeared, leaving behind pure, blank pages!

"Bam!

"

The ancient book fell to the ground.

And in Marvin's consciousness, countless silvery-white runes were floating!

"Wisdom Chapter!

"

"Turns out the thing you were looking for in the Dragon Library was the Wisdom Chapter that could restrain me!

"

The Book of Nalu, surrounded by the Fate Power and unable to move, eventually admitted defeat!

Marvin wasn't one to be taken lightly.

The Book of Nalu could destroy Gods!

It was definitely a very dangerous object.

How could he keep using this kind of evil item without a safety net?

This Wisdom Chapter was Marvin's preparation against the Book of Nalu's inevitable counterattack!

At that time, in the Dragons' Library, he looked for it meticulously, searching everywhere for the Wisdom Chapter.

But after he found it, he didn't immediately put it to use. He knew that if he used it, the Book of Nalu would become more vigilant.

At that time, the danger would temporarily subside, but remain lingering as a potential threat that would be even more tenacious than before.

It was better to hide first and then wait until the Book of Nalu couldn't hold back anymore, allowing it to reveal itself.

And as such, Marvin really had been able to trick the Book of Nalu.

The runes in the Wisdom Chapter were written in the Ancient God Language.

After Marvin absorbed the Wisdom Chapter, many lines appeared:

You absorbed an Oddity – Wisdom Chapter

Willpower 10

Wisdom increased

Wisdom Chapter understanding: 0

/?

Hint: By reading the Wisdom Chapter's runes, you'll be able to understand some additional mystical abilities.

...

As a remnant of the ancient Book of Wisdom, the Wisdom Chapter was not only the best choice to restrain the Book of Nalu, but it was also extremely valuable on its own.

Although Marvin was currently unable to understand the Wisdom Chapter's details, if he slowly learnt the Ancient God Language, he would be able to learn the unique skills or spells left on the Wisdom Chapter.

This was a great temptation for all Legend powerhouses.

And was before even mentioning the frightening 10 Willpower property.

From this day on, Marvin's willpower would be impregnable!

Regardless of what kind of mind magic he was attacked with, Marvin would be immune.

He estimated that his Willpower was at least at 20.

Even Gods wouldn't have such a scary number!

'This danger can be considered thoroughly settled now. And when I find the opportunity, I will learn Ancient God Language. Maybe I will obtain some extra benefits.'

After watching the Book of Nalu in his mind gradually becoming a gentler red, Marvin's mind completely stabilized.

This hurdle was cleared up at last.

...

Five minutes later, Marvin slowly opened his eyes.

The Book of Nalu separated from his consciousness and floated into the air with a yellowish sheen and many white runes circling it.

Its ego had been thoroughly suppressed by the Fate Power.

This page had completely surrendered to Marvin.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think as he took out another page of the Book of Nalu!

This page also came from the Dragon Library.

It was the 11th page of the Book of Nalu, as well as the final page, called Reincarnation!
