Chapter 1462: Balance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The approaching guy hadn’t quite figured out why Semalion was floating next to Lin Yun as a skull. He was already losing his rationality because of the prospect of a bright future…
He had already perished in the age of gods before he was able to claim glory for himself. Then, he was successfully reborn, however with difficulty. But an accident happened, and he didn’t wake up normally. When he woke up, an independent soul had been born in his reborn body. So, that was a problem.
He hadn’t won over the body yet, and the reborn body was already dead. He was able to turn into a lich, but then he was immediately trapped in his own kingdom, going through the same memories again and again. No matter how he roared and struggled, he couldn’t escape.
An era passed. He finally had the opportunity to escape, but he didn’t expect to be confined in a magic tool. This time, he didn’t stand any chance of escape. There was only a slim chance that he might get away from the Kingdom of Nightmares because other people might get trapped in there too.
If they escaped from the illusionary world, then he could follow them and get away. There was always some hope.
However, now that he had been trapped in the Book of Death, the King of Nightmares became truly desperate. Unless the owner of the Book of Death set him free, he would stay here forever.
The King of Nightmares was even more desperate when the Chapter of Balance appeared, thinking that it couldn’t possibly get away.
Beyond his expectation, the Book of Death’s Magic Tool Incarnation woke up after the Chapter of Balance showed up, and Lin Yun was pulled into the Book of Death. Then, the most wonderful thing happened…
After the Magic Tool Incarnation appeared, it gained control over the Book of Death, whose instincts would be weakened. When Semalion and Lin Yun had fought for a long time, and both of them were dying, he had a chance.
The King of Nightmares, being trapped in a page in the Book of Death, finally felt that the Book of Death’s restraints on him were weakened. Even though he was still unable to escape, there was finally an opening inside the Book of Death that allowed him to enter the inside space of the Book of Death from that page. It was not a problem anymore.
He was going to swallow both Semalion and Lin Yun. He had never been luckier since the age of gods…
“Hahaha… I’m truly lucky. I’ve never been lucky at all ever since the age of gods. The Lord of Misfortune must’ve cursed me when he died. But that’s alright. The good luck that I’ve been missing is all back to me now…
“Just look at me. How lucky am I? Not only am I able to directly occupy the body of a natural-born extraordinary creature, but I can also swallow the Magic Tool Incarnation of a natural-born Extraordinary Magic Tool. Henceforth, I’ll be a natural-born extraordinary creature with an associated Extraordinary Magic Tool. Even though I’m still weak right now, I’ll surely become as strong as the greatest god.
“The Lord of Death, the Lord of Seas, and the other idiots who have associated magic tools will be no match for me at all. Don’t worry. To return your favor, I’ll swallow you entirely. You won’t feel a thing…”
The King of Nightmares was so thrilled that he didn’t notice that even though Lin Yun seemed quite awkward, his level was gradually dropping from the peak of level 9 of the Heaven Rank to level 7, his original level…
His consumed mana had been fully recovered. The Draconic Staff, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras had been summoned too.
As the King of Nightmares drifted close, his body that was ten kilometers tall was emitting soul waves that were as powerful as a massive level-9 spell. He could’ve killed Lin Yun with nothing but those terrifying waves at all.
Lin Yun, however, was not worried at all. Semalion wasn’t worried, either, and didn’t consider the King of Nightmares a big deal at all.
After Lin Yun talked to Semalion, the latter was fully convinced, so Lin Yun was finally reassured. He turned around and looked at the King of Nightmares, reciting two strange syllables. The syllables sounded quite weird, but whoever heard them would know that they meant balance.
Instantly, the invisible power of laws appeared. There seemed to be an ancient gray scale between the King of Nightmares and Lin Yun, with two illusions on its two sides, namely the King of Nightmares and Lin Yun.
After the illusions showed up, the King of Nightmares’ side of the scale started falling, but the balance was soon restored by some sort of magnificent power. When the scale regained balance, Lin Yun felt that his level was improved to level 49, and the King of Nightmares’ power was suppressed to level 49.
As a god, even though he only had part of his soul left, his level wouldn’t be low at all. In particular, the King of Nightmares had been a half ghost whose power depended on his soul. Because most of his soul remained, his level was definitely above level 50.
If that guy were to unleash all his strength, Lin Yun would surely be no match for him…
Unfortunately, he had been trapped inside the Book of Death…
Where was the Book of Death most powerful? Inside the Book of Death, of course. Here, it was in the most powerful condition. In the outside world, it was restrained by Lin Yun’s own strength, and couldn’t unleash all its power, but there were no such concerns here.
The Chapter of Balance was activated, and the King of Nightmares’ level was soon reduced to Lin Yun’s.
Lin Yun felt strange when he rose to level 49 again. This time, it was no longer as perfect as when he fought Semalion earlier.
When he fought Semalion, he was an out-and-out expert at the peak of level 9 of the Heaven Rank. But at this moment, he had nothing but the level. He could unleash the power of level 49, but his understanding of laws was not good enough.
Still, it already sufficed…
The King of Nightmares hadn’t recovered from the shock of his plummeting strength yet when an enormous Demiplane arose behind Lin Yun!
The projection alone was dozens of kilometers long and wide. This time, it was the projection of a real Natural Demiplane. It was not just Lin Yun’s own understanding of laws that he used in the battle against Semalion.
This was the first time that Lin Yun had ever released the complete form of his Natural Demiplane’s projection. The entire void was shivering, as if it was going to fall apart.
The Natural Demiplane’s huge projection was laid on the King of Nightmares’ head in the most simple and violent way. It was the purest pressure, as if a world had been imposed on his head.
The King of Nightmares’ magnificent body had already been half weakened by the Chapter of Balance. Then, he was suppressed by a Natural Demiplane that was almost a real world. He became no more than 10 meters tall…
As it happened, the King of Nightmares had to use all his strength to heave the projection of the Natural Demiplane. Otherwise, he would always be suppressed without a chance to turn things around unless Lin Yun changed his mind.
The King of Nightmares was quite frustrated. Four arms grew out of his transparent body, holding up the projection of the Natural Demiplane. He glanced at Lin Yun, who was casually floating, and didn’t even bother to look at him.
Ripples surfaced on the deity’s body constantly. He was almost exploding because of fury…
However, watching the Natural Demiplane’s projection continue descending, the King of Nightmares didn’t dare to think any longer. He quickly stabilized himself, and supported the Natural Demiplane’s projection with his arms.
The projection was not the Natural Demiplane itself, but had evolved from the Natural Demiplane’s laws. It might not be as heavy as the Natural Demiplane, but it was enough to suppress the King of Nightmares who had been weakened. He could not use his abilities at all, or he might be completely suppressed.
Holding up the Natural Demiplane, the King of Nightmares couldn’t have been more frustrated. There was even an “I knew this would happen” expression on his face.
I knew it. I knew this would happen. Luck has never had anything to do with me. This is just a trap. The biggest trap. I shouldn’t have come here. I should’ve just stayed in the page. The guy couldn’t have done anything to me anyway.
I could’ve simply held him back while he was fighting. Then, he would’ve been in great trouble. I could’ve then threatened him. Even if I couldn’t have escaped, he wouldn’t have dared to give me a hard time. That would’ve been great. It’d have been so much better than experiencing the same disgusting illusionary world again and again. A new place is always a good thing, isn’t it?
Why did I fall for his trick? This cunning, wicked human being must’ve done it on purpose. Yes. It was definitely on purpose. He tried to suppress me here so that I would never turn the tables on him or hold him back. Why did I fall for this?
I’m never lucky. The goddamn Lord of Misfortune must’ve cursed me when he was dying…
“Merlin, Merlin, let’s make a deal. If you set me free, I will kill that idiot Uther. He will die completely, and won’t come back to you for trouble at all. We’ll go our separate ways afterwards. I will never fight you again. I’ll never show up in the places where you’re. How does it sound?
“Uther’s soul has already split into two completely different individuals. Dereksey’s soul has already melted into mine. It’s impossible to destroy Dereksey’s soul. He will never die.
“Just think about it. If he never dies, he will constantly come to you for trouble. If you destroy one of his bodies, he always has other backup bodies.. He cannot be killed. The only solution is to let me go swallow him…”
