Chapter 966 Breaking the balance
Blaine’s strike was so powerful that it outshone the entire battlefield.
A dreadful glint from the blade descended from above.
Blaine stood still with Crimson Slayer in his hand as the terrifying gleam of the blade fell from the sky.
Blaine exerted all his strength in this attack, which was his first since recovering. However, after
unleashing this strike, he felt completely drained of energy.
Standing before Blaine, Derrick’s face turned solemn as the Vital Energy emanating from Blaine’s
saber was
explosive
Even Derrick had to give his all to resist the attack.
Derrick summoned a gust of wind under his feet, causing pieces of gravel to swirl around him. He also
raised a long sword in his hand.
Buzz!
Then, a buzzing reverberated in the area. Gerald and Nathanial couldn’t help but turn their heads in the
direction of the buzzing sound at the same time.
Gerald frowned when he saw the scene before him. “Oh!”
He noticed that the gleam of Blaine’s blade had dissipated.
“I’m afraid that your so-called number one Supreme Flame Decayer is going to meet his demise,”
Nathan said,
sneering.
Gerald sensed that something was amiss. Although Blaine’s attack appeared strong, it had a fatal flaw
– there was no incorporation of his attribute-related ability.
Blaine had become a Flame Decayer years ago, but due to his physical condition, he had been unable
to master his attribute-related ability. He had been on the verge of death before and could only swing a
single
strike for the rest of his life.
During the initial invasion of the Elite Ghost, Blaine came close to death and was only saved with the
assistance of Hector.
Gerald remained unaware of Blaine’s attribute-related ability even after the latter’s body was found, as
Blaine had chosen not to disclose it to him previously.
When the wild wind dispersed, a sneer and disdain appeared on Derrick’s face as he said, “That’s it?”
Blaine struggled to catch his breath as if all the air had been sucked out of him.
He raised his head and looked at Derrick.
Derrick sneered, questioning Blaine’s authenticity as a Flame Decayer, “You’re not a fake, are you?
You may have the strength of a supreme Flame Decayer, but you lack the attribute-related ability that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcomes with it.” He continued to mock Blaine, “You wasted your Vital Energy on a strike that didn’t even
scratch me. Now it’s
time for you to choose your own death!”
“Did I really waste my energy?” A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Blaine’s mouth.
“Isn’t it true?” Derrick said with disdain.
As soon as Derrick finished speaking, he sensed that something was amiss. Blaine, who was standing
in front of him, had suddenly vanished. “Huh?” he exclaimed
He suddenly sensed a sharp aura getting closer and closer to him. In an instant, Blaine’s figure
emerged before him, leaving his shadow behind.
Meanwhile, Derrick remained rooted in place, motionless as if frozen.
Blaine passed by him, and, at the same time, his voice rang in Derrick’s ear. “This technique is called
Saber Refining Technique. It can only be created once in a lifetime. This is my ultimate killing move!
And as for my attribute-related ability, do you like it?”
“Y-You You are… a-an old… “Derrick’s voice trembled as he spoke.
However, he couldn’t utter the final word. His body was sliced in half as Blaine’s attack cleaved through
the
Bone of Eternity.
At this point, the supreme Flame Decayer of the Four Ancient Families, Derrick, died!
The sight before him left Gerald, who was standing at a distance, stunned.
When Blaine had struck the Purple Elite Ghost before, he had moved in a similar way, where the strike
had seemed powerful. Gerald had not been strong enough at the time to understand how Blaine had
managed to
end its life.
At that time, after the explosion happened, he saw the Purple Elite Ghost and Blaine fell from the sky
almost
simultaneously.
After the incident, Gerald came to realize that Blaine’s seemingly powerful initial attack was just a
diversionary tactic to distract the enemy. His true lethal move was the final strike he delivered.
The final strike was as swift and elusive as a ghost.
“Ghost Slash!” Gerald’s heart skipped a beat.
He had used the Ghost Slash technique before, which was originally invented by Blaine. However,
Blaine mastered it to the fullest and used it with great effectiveness.
“What is Blaine’s attribute-related ability?” Gerald furrowed his brow and said, “Derrick had enough
time to react earlier, but… he seemed to be completely subdued. He stood there motionless without
even a hint of
resistance.”
Blaine was panting heavily, half-kneeling on the ground with his saber in hand. His eyes had a glint of
excitement.
His body was almost devoid of Vital Energy!

“When this is all over, I’ll ask Blaine myself. But Blaine can only exert his full power for a brief moment.
He becomes depleted of energy after a single strike,” Gerald said with a sigh as he glanced toward
Blaine in the
distance.
Afterward, he averted his eyes and turned his attention back to Nathaniel, declaring, “Indeed, the
Supreme Flame Decayer has perished, but it is your man, a member of the Four Ancient Families, who
paid the price! This time, as with the previous one, none of you shall escape!”
“You have invaded Earth multiple times over the past hundred years. You deserve to die!” Gerald
glared at
Nathanial.
Enraged by Gerald’s words, Nathanial’s body was engulfed in flames as the intensity of his anger
surged to its maximum, and he engaged in a fight with Gerald.
No one dared to approach where they were. Sand and stones were flying all over the ground.
“While he’s drained of Vital Energy, the rest of you should finish him off!” Nathanial bellowed as he
battled
Gerald.
In a blink of an eye, several Gold Elite Ghosts rushed toward Blaine’s location in no time.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Claude kept pulling the trigger repeatedly on the plane.

Once Claude realized he couldn’t target the Purple Elite Ghost, he redirected his focus toward the Gold
Elite
Ghost instead.
As the Gold Elite Ghosts charged at Blaine right then, Claude was determined to protect him at all
costs.
The Legendary Sniper of the Night Watch demonstrated his ruthlessness with his sniper rifle.
The bodies of the Gold Elite Ghosts collapsed to the ground one by one.
At some point, the silhouette of a firebird appeared on the battlefield. With her wings spread behind her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbody. Carolyn quickly lunged at the wind-attribute Flame Decayer who was trying to flee.
“Ah!”
The Flame Decayer emitted a loud shriek as flames consumed his body, and he was unable to
withstand the
heat. His body was being charred.
After spending some time, Carolyn finally ended the man’s life.
At this point, the man’s death disrupted the balance of the battlefield.
Carolyn let out a sigh and turned to glance at Hector, but she didn’t approach to help him. Instead, she
spread her wings and shot toward the group of Blue Elite Ghosts like an arrow released from a
bowstring.
At this juncture, a merciless slaughter was taking place with one side completely dominating the other!
As the Blue Elite Ghosts were only at the top level, wherever Carolyn’s Vital Energy passed, they fell to
the ground like wheat being cut down.
Undoubtedly, Carolyn’s decision was very wise as her appearance greatly reduced the pressure on
Night
Watch.
Tn a similar fashion to how the Blue Elite Ghosts had previously destroyed a village and a town in a
short
amount of time, wherever Carolyn’s Vital Energy spread, the Blue Elite Ghosts practically vanished in
an instant, with no opportunity for self-destruction.
“No!” exclaimed Nathanial, his heart bleeding with grief.
The Blue Elite Ghosts that Carolyn killed were all Pioneers of the Four Ancient Families, and most of
them
had fought alongside Nathanial for many years.
“Feeling devastated?” Gerald taunted Nathanial as he swung his Dragon Saber and closed in on him.
Gerald then said after scoffing, “You did the same when you invaded us back then. Did you feel any
remorse when you invaded those worlds, made women into prostitutes, and massacred ordinary
humans?”
Gerald fixed his gaze on Nathanial and posed a question, “Have you and your people, who always
thought of yourselves as superior, ever felt remorse for burning, killing, plundering, and kidnapping
innocent people? Did it ever break your heart to see the beautiful planets turn into desolate wastelands
because of your
destructive conquests?”
“This is how the world works!” Nathanial roared. “The winner is the king! If we don’t invade them, they
will invade us when they become stronger. This is the world of survival of the fittest. This is the law of
survival in
the universe!”
