CHAPTER 335: BLOOD ELEMENTAL SOURCE

Entering the battlefield, Nash faced off against the Blood Demon.

"Nash! You’re here!" Natasha and the other Void Venerates quickly noticed.

"Haha, it seems you’re having a hard time," Nash smiled.

"How could we? This monster is just too tough to kill!"

Like Camilla, who could endlessly regenerate, no matter what damage they inflicted, the Blood Demon would heal.

"You’re just not doing enough..."

With that, Nash charged toward the Blood Demon.

Entering its domain, he quickly felt the blood energy clinging to his body.

Activating his runic eyes, Nash easily countered the domain power using only his void energy.

Soon, arriving face to face with the enemy, Nash brandished his knife, unleashing hundreds of cuts in just a second.

Swish~

Like a domino, the Blood Demon fell to pieces.

"Let’s see how you regenerate from that."

Unfortunately, to Nash’s shock, the Blood Demon restructured its body without any problem.

"This monster..."

Feeling speechless, Nash sliced it again and again.

Unlike Camilla, who grew stronger with each injury, the Blood Demon could only regenerate.

Not worrying about the enemy getting stronger, Nash attacked without pause.

---

Soon, a minute, then ten minutes, then half an hour, and finally an hour passed.

Seeing that the Blood Demon was still alive, Nash was now dumbfounded.

Even the Void Venerates watching the scene were shocked.

Initially, they weren’t confident that Nash could kill it singlehandedly.

However, seeing the damage he was inflicting, they felt it was only a matter of time before the Blood Demon would die.

Who knew that after an hour of being chopped to pieces and regenerating, it seemed nothing had changed.

Its energy, power, everything about it remained the same.

"How is this even possible?"

Not knowing how to defeat the enemy, they began to think of other ways to expel it.

Meanwhile, coming to his senses, Nash began to use his runic eyes to figure out how the Blood Demon was able to do this.

Its energy was certainly not infinite.

Even if it could extract the Dark Energy around it, it wasn’t enough to keep it living from such damage.

"Let’s see what you’re made of."

Not stopping his attack, Nash began studying how the runic commands on the Blood Demon worked.

Although he couldn’t fully understand it, his mastery of the runic commands gave him a sense of what was happening.

---

Soon, after a few hours of nonstop slicing, Nash finally understood how the Blood Demon did it.

"I see, so that’s how it is!"

The mastery of the Blood Demon over its domain seemed greater than they had thought.

Instead of just using it to attack, the entire blood domain essentially served as its tentacles, drawing energy from everything inside of it.

Besides absorbing free dark energy from the atmosphere, it was even swallowing the dark beasts they had killed.

No wonder, while they fought, it would always retreat toward areas with denser dark beasts.

"I got you now. Time to die..."

Ordering everyone to clear the area of dark beasts, Nash and the others began their endless attack toward the Blood Demon, hoping to wear away its energy.

This time, without the direct replenishment from the dark beast, it slowly got weaker and slower with each regeneration.

During this time, Nash also attempted to manipulate the runic commands on the Blood Demon’s body, trying to turn off its domain.

Unfortunately, due to his lack of mastery, Nash wasn’t able to do it until they had exhausted and killed the Blood Demon.

[Blood Demon Killed! + 7 trillion merits.]

Hearing the heavenly notification from the Void Administrator, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh~ It’s finally over..."

Fighting the Blood Demon alone felt like clearing the entire dark beast nest.

"I hope the dark beasts we face in the future aren’t such a pain," Nash sighed.

He thought he could kill the Blood Demon with a single slice, but who knew it would take hours to finish it?

However, such a fight wasn’t for nothing.

Experimenting with the Severance Knife, Nash confirmed that it could cut through runic programs without any problem.

As a conceptual weapon, it seemed it couldn’t just cut matter, but also intangible properties like runes.

As long as Nash could see and conceptualize it, it could be cut.

Unfortunately, while runic commands corresponded to elements, they also possessed hints of law, surpassing the current grade of the Severance Knife.

Otherwise, Nash could have just cut its source of power and be done with it.

Turning his attention to the Blood Demon, which was slowly disintegrating, he noticed an item that had fallen onto its body.

"Hmm? Just one dropped item?"

Usually, a lord-level dark beast could drop multiple items.

Thinking it was an intelligent-type lord-level dark beast, Nash expected it to drop a mountain of resources, who knew it would only produce one.

Picking up the crystal it had dropped, Nash quickly identified what it was.

[Top Grade Blood Elemental Source: Can generate ten thousand low-grade blood elemental crystals every day.]

"Holy—"

Reading the description, Nash couldn’t help but curse.

Did they just spawn a treasure-generating artifact?!

Ten thousand low-grade blood elemental crystals would be over 3 million blood elemental crystals in a year!

Although it seemed to require void crystals as energy, it was essentially a money-generating treasure!

Just this one treasure could ensure the wealthy existence of a planetary civilization.

"It seems we struck it lucky. I didn’t expect we’d get such a treasure," Natasha murmured excitedly upon seeing the treasure.

"This fight wasn’t for nothing!" Camilla smiled brightly.

The main element she was comprehending was blood.

Having such a treasure meant the resources she needed were essentially guaranteed.

"If we could get similar treasures, I wouldn’t mind fighting such dark beasts every day," Nash also chuckled.

No matter how hard the battle, as long as there was a corresponding reward, who would complain?

Giving the Elemental Source temporarily to Camilla, Nash began ordering everyone to clear the remaining dark beasts.

After all the fighting, only a few scattered dark beasts remained.

Including those constantly attracted to the area, it shouldn’t take long before they can start mining.
