“Cambori, the Lord of Schemes, had three faces, and was the cleverest of all gods. He was the god that was the best at concocting schemes. Unfortunately, he was much weaker than the gods who were good at fighting, and he was killed easily…

“Enderfa, I always thought that you might be one of the Three-Headed Golden Dragons, but I was never sure. If you’d survived for so long, you had to be a famous Three-Headed Golden Dragon. But none of the Three-Headed Golden Dragons were like you. They were the real tough guys.

“I didn’t know that you were even more famous. You’re actually the Lord of Schemes. Whom did you piss off to deprive you of all the power in your soul? I couldn’t even see that you were a god. That’s really…”

Enderfa’s three faces wore different expressions. He was going to deny it, but he realized that Lin Yun was certain after hearing his name.

Lin Yun certainly had no doubts. Three faces were such an obvious feature. There were a few gods who had three heads. The Three-Headed Golden Dragons had three heads too. Some other powerful creatures also had three heads, so Lin Yun didn’t know which one he was.

Lin Yun had always thought that Enderfa had three heads. In particular, after he advanced into the Heaven Rank, all his three heads seemed independent.

Come to think of it, he should’ve recognized the guy sooner. There was only one famous person who had three faces instead of three heads. That was the Lord of Schemes, who had Enderfa’s personality too. However, Enderfa didn’t have the aura or power of a god’s soul at all, so Lin Yun had never considered him to be the Lord of Schemes.

Later, Enderfa turned into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel’s Magic Tool Incarnation. They had been fighting together for a long time. It didn’t matter who Enderfa used to be anymore.

What mattered was that they had been fighting alongside each other.

While Lin Yun was talking like that, he didn’t really care who Enderfa was. Obviously, Enderfa realized that too. He wore complicated expressions on all of his three faces.

Before he said anything, the King of Nightmares shouted again…

“Sir Cambori, help me. You know me—”

Before the King of Nightmares could finish, Enderfa burst out in fury. With wrath on all of his faces, he began to cast spells with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.

“Idiot, why don’t you go to hell?”

“You can still recognize me when I’ve turned into this?”

“You recognized me despite the horn on my head? Just shut up!”

All of Enderfa’s faces were yelling at the King of Nightmares at the same time. A torrent of spells spurted out of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and hit the King of Nightmares brutally.

The King of Nightmares screamed miserably under the splashing noises, but those spells caused little damage to him except a tiny bit of pain.

Enderfa didn’t stop until he cast more than 10 minutes’ worth of spells. When the spells were gone, the King of Nightmares was still screaming, as if he didn’t realize that there were no spells coming anymore.

All of Enderfa’s faces were twisted because of fury. He cast spells for another dozen minutes to slap the King of Nightmares.

“Damn it, you just can’t shut up, can you? I went through all the trouble to turn into this, yet you still recognized me. I should’ve asked Merlin to kill you sooner.”

Lin Yun grinned and watched. It was not until this moment that he realized gods weren’t as awe-inspiring as he imagined them to be. Gods were essentially intelligent creatures too, except that they boasted great power.

As intelligent creatures, they naturally boasted what most intelligent creatures had. Even though there might be strange gods, there were always gods that were similar to other intelligent creatures.

However, there was not a second god that was as unlucky as the King of Nightmares…

The King of Nightmares was no longer stupid. He realized the relation between Enderfa and Lin Yun. As the Magic Tool Incarnation of Lin Yun’s important Extraordinary Magic Tool, Enderfa was surely trusted by the guy.

Now that Enderfa was here, the King of Nightmares thought that his safety was guaranteed. At the very least, he wouldn’t be cut into pieces. So, no matter how Enderfa slapped him, the King of Nightmares didn’t care. He had already been slapped before anyway…

Lin Yun took Enderfa aside, and observed him up and down.

“Enderfa, what’s the matter with the King of Nightmares? You two seem very close…”

Enderfa covered his left face. His other two faces looked at his left face at the same time.

“That guy said that the King of Nightmares was dumb and easy to take advantage of. As it happened, the King of Nightmares came to join us. His power was useless for other gods. There were too many gods that could kill him easily.”

“The badasses such as the Lord of Death could’ve easily cut him apart…”

“The left guy proposed to accept the King of Nightmares as a subordinate. However, he defected in his very first battle, and he was too scared to fight other gods. In the end, he escaped to the Plane of the Undead and died there…”

“Never mind. It’s not really a pleasant memory. However, if he recognized me, others might be able to recognize me too. Some gods must’ve been reborn successfully, and I crossed a lot of them in the past…”

Lin Yun smiled, but didn’t really care. Even in this age, it was impossible for the reborn gods to reclaim their former glory. Even if they were awakened, they could only advance fast, and ignite the God Fire in the end.

“What do we do with that guy? The Bloody Lich’s soul is melted with him. It’s impossible to kill the Bloody Lich without killing him. That dry old corpse will definitely hold a grudge for 10,000 years…”

Enderfa seemed quite miserable. He hesitated for a long time, and decided that it was inappropriate to ignore or kill the King of Nightmares, who had been his lackey in the past. After all, he was no longer the Lord of Schemes…

“Didn’t Semalion say that you have the Blade of Death? Ask the King of Nightmares to be prepared. You can cut him apart from the Bloody Lich’s soul, and then just kill the Bloody Lich’s soul. As for the King of Nightmares, just keep him inside the Book of Death. If he’s set free, he’ll be killed in no time.”

“He will certainly sell me out before he’s killed. It’s better to just keep him inside the Book of Death…”

After saying that, Enderfa immediately carried out the decision, and flew to the King of Nightmares.

“Idiot, I’m giving you an opportunity. If you don’t want to die, just push the old dry corpse’s soul away. Nobody can help you in that aspect…”

The King of Nightmares looked up at the Natural Demiplane’s projection above his head, and didn’t say anything.

Lin Yun waved his hand, and the projection was gone. However, the King of Nightmares didn’t dare to maintain his enormous body anymore after the pressure was gone. He even voluntarily shrank his height to one meter, making him look like an ordinary ghost.

After the body shrank, the King of Nightmares’ began to shiver. His right half body blackened, and pure evilness emitted from the darkness.

The blackened part was gradually concentrated on one of the King of Nightmares’ illusionary arms. Soon, the arm became completely black. The pure evilness spread out with a blast like a mental spell.

The King of Nightmares’ face was slightly twisted, as if he were trying to push the Bloody Lich’s soul. He looked up at the gray scale, and smartly remained silent, not asking Lin Yun to disable the Chapter of Balance.

After struggling for half an hour, the King of Nightmares concentrated all of his black aura in one arm. The arm went out of control too, and let out a soundless roar towards the King of Nightmares with a twisted face.

The King of Nightmares was connected to the dark evil soul. An intense collision was even happening in the joint. That was the evil soul trying to melt with the King of Nightmares again.

The Bloody Lich’s soul naturally knew that it wouldn’t be safe until it was melted with the King of Nightmares. Unfortunately, no matter how it roared, it couldn’t combine with him again. Although the King of Nightmares couldn’t get rid of the Bloody Lich’s soul, he could still cross a line between them.

Usually, the King of Nightmares wouldn’t waste his strength on that, because it was impossible to cut them apart, but the situation was different now. Lin Yun had the Blade of Death, even though it had been significantly weakened…

Lin Yun turned into the skeleton king, and flew towards the King of Nightmares with the weakened Blade of Death. The Bloody Lich’s evil soul seemed aware of its impending fate, and instead of struggling to enter the King of Nightmares’ body, it roared at Lin Yun.

But that action infuriated the tiny skull on the Blade of Death, which opened its mouth and let out a soundless roar. Instantly, the Bloody Lich’s evil soul seemed frozen.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yun waved the Blade of Death, and cut the joint between the King of Nightmares and the wicked soul.

The bloody scythe of death’s edge glimmered. There was a tiny bit of resistance when he slashed. The King of Nightmares screamed, and flew backwards. The wicked soul screamed too.

Unfortunately, before it could run off, the tiny skull on the bloody scythe of death opened its mouth, and swallowed the wicked soul as if it were delicious food.

The miserable scream came to an abrupt halt. After swallowing the evil soul, the skull seemed to know that the soul had to be eliminated. Dark aura spread out of the skull’s eyes, and black patterns appeared on the back of the bloody scythe of death.

Everything was back to normal in only a few seconds.. The skull’s jaw was moving up and down, as if it was complimenting the deliciousness of the wicked soul.
