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 comes 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.”
