The battle between the sea monster Mord and the incarnation of the raging demon, Ruge, has intensified, and it seems that the outcome is still uncertain.
On the other side, however, the end seems to be near. The once glorious appearance of the Black Blade is now tarnished, covered in blood. However, this blood does not come from devouring evil spirits, but from the Black Blade himself.
Although the Black Blade can rival a seven or eight-star champion with its Abyss Gaze and the golden crystal embedded in it, the evil spirit it is trying to devour is much stronger. The disparity between them cannot be offset by these abilities alone. The only reason he can still fight is because the evil spirit's attack methods are limited. Otherwise, he would be dead by now.
"We can't keep going like this, or we'll die here today!" The Black Blade took a deep breath and looked at the magic stone embedded in the sword. Honestly, this was his last resort, and it was a self-destructive method that would not only harm himself but also others. It was the method he least wanted to use because it could only be used once.
"Let's go all out!" The Black Blade was a ruthless and decisive person. If he lost his life here, he would lose everything, even if he had many treasures with him.
"Whirlwind Break!"
The Black Blade depleted most of his remaining magic power, causing a huge vortex to form, swirling up a large amount of seawater. The black storm fiercely struck the evil spirit.
"Bam!" The evil spirit coiled up its body like a large snake, and a thick magic shield appeared on its surface, blocking the Black Blade's attack.
But as Whirlwind Break was about to end, the Black Blade suddenly made another move. He threw his sword at the evil spirit. It was absurd for a notorious dark guild leader, a long-standing champion, to do something so suicidal.
Obviously, this was impossible!
The sword turned into a streak of light as it traversed through the air. Its raging power was terrifying, causing even Ruge and Mord, who were fighting nearby, to change their expressions. Because the Black Blade's intention was to detonate his weapon!
Self-destruction was a very brutal and terrifying method. It could often exert a formidable power far beyond one's current strength and was an indiscriminate attack, similar to explosive magic.
"Boom!" The Black Blade quickly dodged. After his sword collided with the evil spirit, the magic stone on it erupted with a tremendous magical fluctuation. The violent power poured out in an instant, creating a gigantic mushroom cloud rising from the sea. The half-sunken ghost ship was also affected, turning into fragments. Even the seawater experienced a brief vacuum zone, evaporating a large area.
Terrifying!
The power was threatening enough to endanger Ruge and Mord. Fortunately, they escaped in time. If they had stayed in their original location, they would have been affected by the explosion, which may not have been fatal, but they would have definitely been injured.
"Damn it!" Ruge was mentally connected with the evil spirit. From the feedback, it was clear that the evil spirit in the center of the explosion was in a terrible state. Although it survived thanks to its powerful innate talent, it had also suffered heavy injuries.
Moreover, Ruge was surprised to find that the black blade had used some kind of method to inject a golden energy into the evil spirit's body, causing it extreme pain and weakness. And it couldn't be expelled. This surprised Ruge greatly because the evil spirit's body was extremely special, and many effects could not affect it.
"He's not dead yet?!" As the flames dissipated, the Black Blade looked at the devouring evil spirit, which had shrunk to the size of a house cat, with a look of astonishment. He didn't expect that even after detonating his final trump card, he still couldn't kill the devouring evil spirit.
He had even detonated the golden crystal together with it. Although he didn't know what power the crystal contained, he knew that its destructive power was extremely strong. This self-destruction was something that even a ten-star champion might not be able to withstand. It could instantly annihilate the champion.
But he could also see that the devouring evil spirit was now at its weakest and no longer posed a threat. And suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he saw the golden crystal floating in mid-air, undamaged by the self-destruction.
Black Blade didn't react immediately, but as soon as he came to his senses, he realized that he had underestimated the golden crystal. He had clearly engraved the exploding array on this crystal along with the other magic stones, and yet, it remained intact at the center of the explosion.
Yes! It remained completely intact, without any damage!
It seemed that he had underestimated the crystal. Black Blade couldn't help but think about where he obtained it from. It was an ancient relic, and he still couldn't fully comprehend the things that existed in such places. Perhaps what he knew was only scratching the surface, and he had no understanding of this golden crystal at all.
Black Blade still had some strength left. Taking advantage of the fact that he had just taken a lot of secret medicine to recover, he took out a backup longsword and prepared to devour the evil spirits and retrieve the golden crystal. To his surprise, a hand suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed the golden crystal!
"!?"
Everyone froze for a moment. Black Blade's eyes widened in disbelief, and the sea demons Morde and Rooge, who had stopped fighting, had the same expression.
A hand suddenly appeared from the void!!
Nobody would believe this if it was said. It was the space! The space that all living beings relied on for survival! How powerful must one be to break through the restrictions of space and take something from it?
Unimaginable! It was completely unimaginable. Throughout the history of this continent, space had always been taboo. It was the domain of gods, a territory that mortals couldn't touch!
After grabbing the golden crystal, the hand immediately retracted into the void. However, a scream came from the void, and a figure suddenly fell from the sky. When they saw the figure, the three kings present all showed an expression of incredulity!
Because it was Bexia, someone they knew well. Both Black Blade and Morde thought he had been killed by Rooge, but who would have thought that a lower-level guy like him was still alive, and even hidden in the void?
No! Even with their strength, they couldn't do it, so how could Bexia hide in the void? Could it be that he was pretending to be a weakling?
That must be it. Otherwise, how could he fall from the void? They knew for sure that it wasn't invisibility, but a genuine appearance from the void.
"Boom!" Just as they were amazed, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened. Thick clouds appeared one after another, with golden lightning flashing within them. The immense pressure overwhelmed the two kings and the quasi-overlord, leaving them breathless. They looked up at the sky in horror and uttered the two words in a daze:
"Divine punishment!!!"
