Each soul on the Candle Boats was firmly bound to its boat.
It was impossible to take these souls away by any normal means.
And apart from the Book of Nalu, Marvin didn't carry a Soul Vessel on him.
He wasn't a Necromancer, after all. Although he was carrying all kinds of miscellaneous items, he couldn't cover everything.
After asking for Jay's consent, he quickly opened the Book of Nalu and absorbed Jay's soul into it!
Suddenly, an alarm rang out from the wharf!
All the busy Reapers were startled as their gazes converged onto that empty boat!
A silhouette had quickly jumped out, leaving the dark river and heading for the shore!
The Reapers' reaction couldn't be considered slow, but by the time they tried to pursue, Marvin had already disappeared!
...
At the bottom of a hill, Marvin let Jay come out.
"Thank you, Mister."
