Chapter 1446: Full Name
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In that case, everybody’s luck would be averaged. Luck was the most unpredictable factor. It might not seem very important, but the shortage of a tiny bit of luck could mean the difference between life and death.
Let’s assume someone’s luck was 80 points, again someone’s luck was 100, and another’s was 30. If the one whose luck was 80 points averaged everybody else’s luck, then everybody would have less luck than he did, which could give him an edge.
Alonzo never thought of using the tool in such a way. It was meant to attack an enemy. Who would use it on themselves?
Alonzo was the one who made the Voodoo Doll. He was also the one who knew the Voodoo Doll the best. After hearing what Lin Yun said, he realized what he could do and how he could do it. All he needed was the Bloody Lich’s full real name.
Lin Yun took out the Book of Death. The chains that tied the cover of the book crumbled one after another, and the Book of Death opened slowly. Immediately, the pages of the book turned crazily, and a ball of light that emitted wicked light surfaced on one of the pages, as if something was crazily trying to break free.
Lin Yun sneered, and looked at the ball of light. He didn’t use much of the Book of Death’s power to suppress the ball of light at all.
The Book of Death was an Extraordinary Magic Tool that was born in the Plane of the Undead, a supreme plane.
The Plane of the Undead was the biggest of all supreme planes. After so many years, the Plane of the Undead had always been expanding fast. Every plane that was connected to the Plane of the Undead had been swallowed. Most of the lives that perished in other planes returned to the Plane of the Undead too.
Only the members of powerful beastman tribes could let their souls rest in peace after they died. There were also some similar species whose souls wouldn’t return to the Plane of the Undead.
The core of the Plane of the Undead had been growing in strength. It absorbed countless lives from countless planes, and gave birth to the Book of Death, but the latter somehow ended up in the Bone Plane prematurely.
The components of the Book of Death weren’t fully melted into it, either. Right now, eight components had been melted into the Book of Death, whose abilities had almost been fully carried. Even Lin Yun couldn’t estimate its greatest power.
The strange soul that was trapped inside the Book of Death was still trying to escape, but it didn’t stand a chance…
Furious roars came from the Book of Death. The weird soul that was a combination of a part of the Lord of Death’s soul and a part of Uther’s seemed to be about to break out at any moment.
Not caring what the guy was thinking, Lin Yun simply threatened it. “Dereksey is right here. You’re now blocked by the Book of Death, so he cannot detect you. However, Dereksey is trying to steal the Book of Death. Just think carefully.”
After Lin Yun said that, the strange wicked soul stopped struggling, and the protruding ball of light on the pace went away, replaced by a creepy face that gazed at Lin Yun coldly.
Lin Yun sneered.
“You don’t need to trust me. I can easily leak some of your aura. You should know the consequences.
“Let me tell you the truth. We’ve been hit by Dereksey’s Curse of Misfortune that was cast with the Lord of Misfortune’s flesh as the material. His purpose is to take the Book of Death away.
“If he gets the Book of Death, what do you think will happen? You will be suppressed in the Book of Death forever. As time goes by, when he ignites the God Fire with the Book of Death, he will be capable of destroying you with the Book of Death.
“Don’t think that there’s nothing he can do about you because your soul has been combined with his. You’re his greatest weakness, and he’s the one who wants you dead most. You’re in charge of your soul right now, but do you think Dereksey won’t let his soul swallow your part of the soul and dominate the soul after he ignites the God Fire? By then, you’ll be completely dead. Your soul will be his nutrition…”
The hideous face on the page stared at Lin Yun for quite a few seconds. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth. “What do you want?”
“I want Dereksey’s full real name!”
The hideous face chuckled coldly. “Why would I give it to you? I don’t trust you—”
Unfortunately, Lin Yun had interrupted him before he could finish.
“You don’t have a choice. We’ve been hit by the Curse of Misfortune. If we don’t know his full real name, we’ll all die. You know how he will treat you after he obtains the Book of Death when we’re dead.
“We’re not capable of destroying your soul, but Dereksey is. No, he will not just destroy you. He will swallow you, and take everything from you.
“You can only tell me Dereksey’s full real name. I won’t promise you anything. You have three seconds to consider.”
Hearing Lin Yun’s threat, the hideous face put on different expressions. After hesitating for three seconds, it suddenly began to recite Dereksey’s full real name.
“Uther Dalast Congrus Wabess… Dereksey.”
The hideous face quickly recited Dereksey’s real name, and Alonzo recorded it in the Voodoo Doll.
Dereksey, as a reborn god, was still connected to the King of Nightmares’ soul in a way, even though he had gained an independent soul during the evolution.
After the soul was torn into the kindhearted part and the evil part, the evil part of the soul received a new complete name. Dereksey was supposed to be the only one who knew it, but the King of Nightmares’ soul certainly knew it too.
A god’s complete real name contained great power. In a way, it was the name of all the power and laws they boasted. However, the complete real name was also their weakness. If their real name was discovered, such curses would be a lot more powerful, and many spells that were otherwise useless could be used.
The King of Nightmares indeed didn’t have a choice, and had to succumb to Lin Yun’s threat. Otherwise, his ending would surely be the most miserable of all the dead gods.
Lin Yun might come for trouble later, but couldn’t possibly destroy him. So, the King of Nightmares had to choose to help Lin Yun.
When the King of Nightmares started to recite Dereksey’s real name, Dereksey immediately detected it. He would feel it as soon as someone recited his full name no matter how far away they were from each other.
The feeling of his greatest vulnerability being seized by someone else drove him mad, and made him want to kill the target no matter the cost.
The features of a god gave him great power, and even made him immune to many things. However, when his real name was found out, his greatest defense would be broken. The protection he was the proudest of would be lost, and he would just be a normal expert.
Nobody would be willing to throw that away after they were used to it.
Naturally, the Bloody Lich went crazy too, and wanted to counterattack. Unfortunately, he should’ve done it sooner. He was already suppressed by Enderfa with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, who couldn’t hurt him, but stopped him from breaking free.
Syudos had also joined with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, which was enough to delay the lich for a couple of seconds. That was good enough…
As more and more parts of the real name were recited, the Bloody Lich’s defense was weakened more and more. It was almost like the power of laws that had been protecting him was declining too.
It was because everybody heard the real name. When they heard the name, laws would work.
Agalon established a protection almost 10 times more slowly than usual, using pure extraordinary power and mana. Such a protection which was simple and costly was the best solution at this moment.
Because they were so unlucky, any other protection spells he cast might collapse for various reasons. All he needed to do was release mana and protect himself instinctively. The odds of an accident were the slimmest in such a way.
Even so, an accident still happened. Some of the mana went out of control, and slapped Lin Yun, flinging him away.
But the King of Nightmares’ reciting wasn’t affected at all. He read it faster and faster, until it sounded as if he were screaming. Lin Yun could hardly keep up with his reciting anymore, but Alonzo was still able to understand it.
Countless words flowed from Alonzo’s hand into the Voodoo Doll. This time, Alonzo had learned a lesson. He didn’t write anything down in person. Instead, he used a trick. It was the King of Nightmares who was doing the writing, and Alonzo was just a bridge.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to record the real name completely.
After the full name was recorded in the Voodoo Doll, another accident happened. A crack somehow appeared on the Voodoo Doll…
That was a type of damage that often happened to magic tools which had been used for a long time or hadn’t been maintained carefully.
