CHAPTER 334: TIER 4 SEVERANCE KNIFE

Soon, as Skylar continued to hold back the Blood Demon dark beast, Camilla, closest to the scene, also arrived.

Without a second thought, seeing the enemy, Camilla quickly charged.

"No!" Skylar warned, wanting to stop her.

Unfortunately, unable to activate his genetic ability due to exhaustion, he could only watch as she dove into the enemy’s domain.

Wrapped by the power of the blood domain, Camilla suddenly burst into smithereens.

"It’s over..."

Thinking Camilla was gone, Skylar felt guilty.

Fortunately, as if defying the heavens, Camilla, who had no intact body left, resurrected fully.

"Still alive?"

Although he was aware of Camilla’s genetic ability, he hadn’t expected it to be this extraordinary.

"Get out of the field!" Skylar quickly warned, seeing Camilla about to charge again.

Thankfully, listening to his words, Camilla quickly backed out.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" Camilla asked, retreating to his side.

Although she instantly died after charging towards the enemy, she thought it was only natural, given the difference in their strength.

"This Blood Demon was able to mobilize an elemental domain, making it invincible. Don’t be so reckless," Skylar said speechlessly.

"Elemental Domain?" Hearing the term, Camilla was shocked.

Did she just brush up against death?

Although she seemed immortal, the number of times she could resurrect wasn’t unlimited.

"Let’s just wait for the others; this is not an enemy we can take."

"Alright..."

Unable to have any fighting chance, they could only stall for time while rescuing others.

---

Minutes passed, and soon Natasha and Hobis arrived.

Among the Void Venerates, only the two were available and not on duty to control the Tier 5 war weapons.

Looking at the Blood Demon and hearing its description from Skylar and Camilla, the two couldn’t help but feel solemn.

"Elemental Domain? What kind of bad luck have we run into?"

Although the density of the dark beast nest was indeed comparable to a medium-grade lode, the danger it posed was not.

"It really isn’t easy to seize a Tier 5 high-grade resource lode," Natasha sighed.

"Can you defeat it? Or should we wait for Nash?" Camilla asked nervously.

"No worries. Although it’s tough, we’re not the same as before."

If in the past they struggled to fight a Tier 5 lord-level dark beast, now with a complete set of Tier 5 runic weapons and improved mastery over their elements, Natasha and Hobis were confident they could defeat the enemy alone.

"If you say so..."

Unable to persuade the two of them, Camilla could only watch as they rushed toward the Blood Demon.

Soon, mobilizing the power of shadow and fire, the two easily countered the blood domain and reached the Blood Demon.

As they approached, they were met with strikes of blood that the demon actively used to attack.

Dodging and swerving, they counterattacked with their weapons, hitting its body squarely.

Boom!

With their combined attack, the Blood Demon was sent flying, leaving a huge dent and a cut marking its body.

However, with the power of blood, it quickly regenerated, rendering their attack ineffective.

Not losing hope, the two continued to attack, beating the Blood Demon until it could no longer regenerate.

Unfortunately, as time passed, while they gradually began feeling exhausted, the Blood Demon still stood tall.

"It seems an intelligent lord-level dark beast is still too much for us."

Although they could continue, they felt their attacks growing slower and weaker by the moment.

"Carry on... The others should arrive soon."

They just needed to hold back the Blood Demon until the rest of the Void Venerates finished their duties.

With over a dozen Void Venerates, no matter how strong the Blood Demon was, they would eventually exhaust it.

---

Meanwhile, Nash, knowing they had no problem holding back the Blood Demon, relaxed and continued killing Tier 4 dark beasts instead of rushing to their aid.

Although he had the power, he wasn’t sure if it would be enough to kill it.

Instead of wasting time trying to compete with it, Nash decided to upgrade his Severance Knife first.

After it grew into a Tier 4 conceptual weapon, no matter how strong the Blood Demon was, he could chop it to pieces.

---

Soon, as minutes, hours, and a day passed by, the Severance Knife was only a few hundred thousand kills away from evolution.

Examining the battlefield, which still had a quarter of the dark beast nest remaining, Nash continued his onslaught.

Clearing the dark beast nest was different and much harder than before.

Previously, they only had to clear the dark beasts within, but now, with the eternal night dark phenomenon gone, they also had to deal with the constant stream of dark beasts outside.

Hours after hours, killing one dark beast after another, Nash began to grow numb, killing all the tier 4 dark beasts he could sense.

Fortunately, just a few hours later, the Severance Knife finally reached its breaking point and absorbed enough dark energy.

Lighting up, Nash saw the knife grow more slender as its runic commands rearranged, becoming more robust and complex.

After a while, the Severance Knife transformed into a true masterpiece, successfully evolving into a Tier 4 conceptual weapon.

[Severance Knife (Tier 4): A conceptual weapon that can cut anything at or below the Tier 5 realm. Note: Can be interfered with by ordinary materials at higher ranks.]

"It’s done!"

Slashing it through the air, he felt the motion smoother, with not a bit of resistance.

From air, void, to even dark and elemental energy, it was all cut effortlessly.

"It’s time..."

Taking his knife, Nash quickly headed toward the intelligent lord-level dark beast on the other side of the battlefield.

---

Arriving at the scene, he saw multiple Void Venerates clashing with the Blood Demon, trying to hold it back.

On the side, there were also thousands of Void Generals firing long-range attacks to slow it down.

"Nash, you’re finally here!" Camilla yelled in excitement upon seeing him arrive.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Hmm, besides a little tiredness, there have been no casualties so far."

"That’s good. You’ve worked hard enough. Now, leave the rest to me..."
