Alex dodged the venom from the snake head and tried to get closer.
However, the snake was so good at attacking and positioning that no matter what Alex tried, he couldn't get past the snake's offensive defense.
Frowning, Alex looked at the knife on his hand and said, "I really want to use [Energy Slash] right now but… I know you'll break if I force you again like last time."
Alex doesn't know how he should proceed now.
Currently, Alex knows that [Energy Slash] could solve this problem and break the snake's defense with one slash if he put enough mana to it.
But the problem is, if he tries to overflow the knife with mana again, it will surely break into pieces.
And Alex doesn't want that to happen.
As for trying out other knives, Alex knows that it's also not possible because, only this knife that has consciousness can handle a great amount of mana forcefully.
If it was other knives, they would break the moment Alex put more than 100 mana into them.
While Alex is thinking of what to do with a frown, the knife on his hand starts vibrating again.
Even though the knife doesn't have a mouth to let it speak, Alex felt like he understood what the knife wanted to express.
Worriedly, Alex said, "You want me to just go with it? But you will break if I do that!"
The knife vibrated gently this time as if to tell Alex to trust it.
Alex frowned and thought about it for a moment.
Then as if he resolved himself, Alex said, "Okay, fine. Then we'll go with it."
"But I'm telling you. Don't you dare break on me."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe knife vibrated again but this time, with a hint of excitement on it.
Alex was confused by this but chose to ignore it.
Getting into stance, Alex started charging the knife with mana through the [Energy Slash] skill.
The knife started glowing brighter as more mana got injected to it.
Then after a while, just as Alex expected, it started getting hard to put more mana into the knife.
At the same time, the knife started trembling hard.
But instead of feeling fear, the knife started expressing more excitement.
Soon, the amount of mana injected on the knife reached 10 thousand.
Last time, Alex only managed to inject 1 thousand at maximum but now it increased to 10 times of that.
This is all thanks to absorbing the blood of the enemies that Alex killed in the secret realm and while he is in this trial.
Anyway, Alex concentrated as he tried to inject more mana to the knife.
Then when Alex felt like it reached the limit, a glint flashed in his eyes and he disappeared in the place he's standing.
And the next moment, he is already standing behind the Chimera.
After a few seconds passed, a thin white crescent energy flashed through the Chimera.
Suddenly, the body of the Chimera got cut into two horizontally.
Slowly, the upper half slid down and fell to the ground.
At this point, the snake head and the goat head still have some vitality but both are already feeling weak.
They stared at Alex with hatred in their eyes in their dying breath.
After a while, the two also fell down, dead.
[You killed a 3-Star Level 133 Chimera, +1,300,300 experience points.]
Seeing that, Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew~ it's finally done."
Haa~ that snake is really persistent. Much more than the lion head."
Alex sat down on the ground to rest a little.
That fight really took some stamina from him so right now, Alex is feeling a little tired.
After a while, Alex recovered and stood up.
He approached the Chimera's body and used [Sacrifice] without hesitation.
[You 'Sacrificed' a 3-Star Legendary Chimera, +250 free attribute points.]
Seeing the notification from the system, Alex can't help but think of something as he watches the Chimera's body disappear into particles.
"Since other people don't just dispose of monster bodies like I do, I wonder what they use it for?"
Saying that, Alex thought about armors, weapons, and other equipment.
Just at that moment, the knife in his hand suddenly exploded.
Boom!
Alex was surprised and hurriedly looked at his hand, only to see that the knife is no longer there.
"No! Damn, I knew this would happen."
"What am I going to do now?!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex started panicking for the first time.
For some reason, that knife has long since become a precious item in Alex's heart.
At the same time, he still wanted to study it.
However, now that it's gone, Alex doesn't know what to do next.
But just then, light particles started gathering in front of Alex and the Chimera's blood that's been spilled on the ground before floated in the air and mixed in with the light particles.
Alex looked at it and muttered, "What the hell is happening now?"
Gradually, the Chimera's blood and the light particle blended together making the light particles also red.
Now, the red light started glowing brighter and brighter until finally, Alex can no longer watch it so he has to close his eyes.
After a while, the bright light subsided and Alex slowly opened his eyes.
When he did, Alex can't help but let out a voice of admiration.
"Wow… this is beautiful."
At this time, the blended Chimera's blood and light particles have suddenly become a blood red knife with wonderful lines on it.
And just by looking at it, Alex can see the danger and sharpness that the blade of the knife holds.
Alex seems to have become fascinated with the knife and slowly started approaching it.
Stretching out his hands, Alex held the knife in his hand.
Suddenly, Alex felt a familiar feeling coming from the knife.
Alex thought of something and looked at the red knife, unsurely saying, "You… are you that knife?"
The knife that Alex is talking about is of course the knife that just exploded after being overused.
As if to confirm his words, the knife started vibrating excitedly.
Bzzt bzzt!
Alex's eyes lit up, "It's really you!"
