Chapter 593: Breakthrough

Sangore looked at his mortal enemy, feeling extremely furious.
In the Black Knight's eyes, Marvin could now be regarded as such without a doubt.
He looked at Sodom's Blades, which Marvin was wielding in his hands, and immediately charged while brandishing his spear!
Marvin sneered, not worried about the Black Knight at all.
He had always avoided Sangore before. Firstly it was because the latter was strong and kept many helpers with him, so he really wasn't easy to handle. Secondly, Marvin's goal had been to get Sodom's Blades, not to kill the Black Knight.
Now that the Artifact was in his hands, his primary goal had been accomplished. And the Black Knight had entered this mysterious space alone. In such a situation, Marvin wouldn't be afraid of the Black Knight at all!
He burst out with great speed, leaving behind an afterimage.
The tip of the Black Knight's spear looked frightening and carried tremendous power, looking like it was able to pierce through space itself.
But though that spear was formidable, it should only be about as powerful as Azure Leaf at best, just a Legendary Spear.
Marvin personally experienced the power of Sodom's Blades, so he knew that the Black Knight's attack simply couldn't threaten him!
A single evasive step would enough to avoid the Black Knight's attack.
The next second, his body suddenly burst out!
He instantly closed the remaining distance between the two. Sangore clearly hadn't thought that Marvin's physical abilities were at this level, because he wasn't able to react in time!
This was the importance of reaction speed.
In a fierce melee fight, movement speed wasn't the most important trait. Instead, reaction speed was more crucial.
Marvin took advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the curved dagger in his hand ripped through the air, slashing in a perfect arc.
This attack was aimed at the Black Knight's forehead, but suddenly, an inexorable power condensed on his wrist!
His movements suddenly became sluggish!
This falter in Marvin's movement opened up a huge flaw in his defenses.
The Black Knight suddenly raised his spear to block the curved dagger while at the same time kneeing Marvin.
It happened so suddenly that even Marvin couldn't avoid it!
The Black Knight's steel-like knee crashed onto Marvin's abdomen with a muffled sound!
Marvin almost puked blood!
He flew back ten meters!
Fortunately, the Black Knight had been startled by Marvin's attack, so this knee strike didn't have his full power behind it. Otherwise, Marvin might have been critically injured!
...
'Damn!'
'I was shot in the back while fighting!'
Marvin awkwardly crawled out of the bone pile.
This time, he was really furious.
Just now, he had a huge opportunity to kill Black Knight Sangore, but instead, he was restrained by the Spirit inside Sodom's Blades and received a harsh injury instead.
He hadn't given the Spirit enough credit.
'Without my permission, you'll never be able to control this pair of daggers,' a cold voice echoed in his mind. 'Your willpower is quite formidable, which surprised me. But I am the master of my blades!'
Marvin felt a tingling pain in his abdomen as his eyes became cold.
He gripped Sodom's Blades tighter and inwardly said, 'You think I won't be able to kill that Black Knight without these daggers?'
The other side was silent.
Marvin sneered, 'I'll get rid of that Black Knight first, and then I'll slowly consume the power of your soul. Do you think you'll have any chance of success?'
Sodom's Blades shivered slightly.
"Clang! Clang!"
As the sounds echoed, the Black Knight saw the two curved daggers get stabbed into the wall!
The daggers kept shaking, like they were trying to struggle out of the wall, but they shortly found out that this was futile.
[Spirit Orb – Harvest]!
The powerful skill engulfed the Spirit inside Sodom's Blades. After all these years, there wasn't much energy left in the Bloody Emperor's soul fragment, so under the powerful effect of Harvest, most of the power in the Artifact became sealed.
The curved daggers no longer shook.
Marvin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth while grabbing a pair of curved daggers before focusing on the Black Knight.
Strangely, Sangore felt his heart pounding.
He hadn't felt that feeling for a long time. In Feinan, he had always looked at others the way Marvin was looking at him now.
This was the apathetic gaze of someone at the top of the food chain.
This made Sangore furious.
He charged at Marvin with a roar.
Marvin instantly used Shadow Escape to approach the Black Knight!
"I know you are there!" Sangore roared while stabbing at Marvin's location.
Thanks to the Black Knight's experience from fighting for many years, he was able to immediately react to Marvin's probing attack.
Unfortunately, the place he stabbed… was empty!
Marvin's shadow brushed past, avoiding the attack without using any further skills.
The Black Knight was shocked!
This wasn't a speed that Humans could reach.
But at this moment, Marvin simply didn't notice it.
He had an indescribable jittery feeling in his chest, which he was sure had come from Sodom's Blades. During the earlier sabotage attempt, the Bloody Emperor had tried to transmit some Evil Spirit Power deep into his mind.
Although he had failed, there were still some remnants.
Marvin was quite annoyed at this, so he really needed a target to vent on!
And the best one right now was the reckless Black Knight!
His eyes turned faintly red, as he had suffered quite a heavy blow from Sangore's attack. It was the first serious injury in a while.
He wanted to kill the Black Knight immediately!
Marvin's speed kept increasing, but the changes on his interface didn't catch his attention.
Only his opponent, Sangore, noticed Marvin's frightening changes.
His speed was astonishing. A pair of ordinary Magic daggers burst with frightening power in his hands.
Despite being a stronger weapon, the Black Knight's spear simply couldn't follow Marvin's curved daggers!
The distance between both sides widened and shrank, but everything was under Marvin's control.
A dagger slash ruthlessly cut through Sangore' armor. Despite his armor being extremely sturdy, under Marvin flurry of unpredictable attacks, some holes and cracks started appearing.
Marvin looked like a frightening ghost, fighting Sangore with speed exceeding the latter's understanding!
In the Black Knight's eyes, he had gone from fighting a difficult foe to being completely surrounded by them!
This speed… Made Sangore feel a chill.
This wasn't a speed that mortals should have.
This was the Godly Realm.
He clenched his teeth, taking out his final card!
