Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4224

Zen had already managed to come back to his senses, but the heavy sword he was wielding in his hand was still trapped in the illusion of the humanoid creature.

It was not easy for the spirit inside the sword to regain its senses. Thus, under its control, Zen just continued to slay the black bugs rushing towards him.

At the same time, once a black bug was killed, a white light would appear from it.

Some of the white lights would enter Zen's body, while the rest penetrated the heavy sword.

"What is this? What's going on?"

Zen couldn't prevent the white lights from invading his body. As the lights reached his mind, he felt a sensation that his thoughts were being manipulated.

Fortunately, the ancestry-level bloodline was on high alert. As soon as the white lights entered Zen's mind, it would immediately take action and purge them.

"Can you also destroy these white lights inside the sword?" Zen asked the ancestry-level bloodline. If the white lights continued to infest the heavy sword, he would also be greatly affected.

"I can give it a try," the ancestry-level bloodline replied briefly.

Without Zen telling it, it could sense that he was being controlled by the sword in his hand.

Thus, the ancestry-level bloodline quickly released a brown aura, making it flow through Zen's body and spread along his arms in order to permeate the heavy sword.

The instant that the brown aura penetrated the sword, beams of white lights swarmed towards it.

The white lights were like an automatic defense mechanism that attacked any foreign entity that probed into their territory.

In their clash, the ancestry-level bloodline didn't care about spending as much energy as it could because it was basically powered by infinite energy.

It was pretty confident that it could prevail and remove all the white lights inside the sword, though it might take a little while.

However, the sword responded immediately as the ancestry-level bloodline launched a soul attack.

Currently, the spirit of the sword got carried away in slaying the black bugs. But when it noticed the soul attack coming from the ancestry-level bloodline, it immediately shifted its focus and fought without hesitation.

Then, wisps of green energy came out of the sword's spirit which looked like a ball of red light.

As the green energy was released, the sword was able to successfully resist the soul attack of the ancestry-level bloodline.

"This is troublesome…"

The ancestry-level bloodline was rendered speechless by the turn of events.

It definitely intended to save the sword's spirit, but the latter saw the ancestry-level bloodline as an enemy and fought back.

The white lights continued to confuse and control the spirit of the sword, but it had no way to realize it.

"So, how did it go?" Zen inquired as he gripped tightly on the heavy sword.

"I failed. This approach doesn't seem to work. The spirit of the sword noticed my soul attack and immediately fought back. The white lights inside are manipulating it into thinking that I am an enemy," the ancestry-level bloodline replied in a frustrated tone.

Zen was a bit surprised at the ancestry-level bloodline's response. He tried to calm down and thought of a feasible solution before he said, "We can keep it from acquiring the energy it needs."

Originally, the heavy sword was only left with a little energy. That was why the sword was not very powerful when it was still in Kincaid's possession.

Then, all of the energy that accumulated on the altar for so many years was consumed by Zen.

The sword was constantly attacking with its full might and even activated the Probability Extreme Form and the Flame Extreme Form earlier. But once the ancestry-level bloodline stopped providing it with energy coming from Zen, the spirit of the sword would eventually run out of energy soon enough.

When that happened, the ancestry-level bloodline could take the opportunity and remove the white lights inside the sword.

"Excellent idea. I'm on it!" The ancestry-level bloodline quickly grasped what Zen was planning, so it didn't waste any time and initiated their move.

At this moment, the blood-colored sky in the primitive land instantly calmed down.

When the Snake Goddess, Fuxi, and the others noticed the silence in the sky, they all thought that the fight between Zen and the humanoid being was finally over.

Under the control of the sword's spirit, Zen had been constantly using and brandishing the heavy sword to kill the bugs.

However, the ancestry-level bloodline had already stopped providing it with additional energy, thus the energy stored inside the sword eventually ran out. In turn, the lights that it emitted also grew dimmer.

Although the spirit of the sword was still eager and frantic to slaughter the black bugs, it was unable to do so because it was already lacking with energy.

"Huh? What's going on?"
