Birth of the Demonic Sword

Noah's words left the experts surprised but curious. His speech made sense. An existing theory saw the birth of the magical beasts as the necessary price to pay for Heaven and Earth's control, so it didn't feel too unreal for those empty existence to fit in the same category.

Heaven and Earth's power made each of their drastic decisions create immense consequences in their world. The same could have happened to the existences that had once belonged to their system. The simple act of stripping them away from everything they had could have given birth to a law that went directly against the rulers.

Non-existence and non-energy were words that the experts struggled to understand. Even Noah found it hard to describe them after having his idea. After all, their entire knowledge came from beings that fed on energy. Having to classify creatures that did the exact opposite felt almost impossible.

Still, the group didn't need to understand the empty creatures to fight them. They knew their weakness, and that was enough for the time being.

Noah and Sword Saint took care of keeping the empty creatures and their attacks at bay. Dark and silver slashes flew across the void and destroyed the pointy spears and twisted areas that filled the battlefield with a strange pressure.

A few figures moved through the void as the slashes ravaged the area, and some of them ended up getting hit by those attacks. Their tiny bodies broke at that point, but they seemed to remain able to move even in their maimed state.

The other experts continued to inspect the insides of the dark world in the meantime. They studied the jellyfish as it endured the collapse of the separate space, and dark expressions slowly appeared on their faces when they saw that the creature was surviving the blow.

King Elbas decided to go on the offensive once the force falling on the creature started to disperse. It was better to attack with the help of the separate space's collapse than in a fair battle with the jellyfish. Holding back for the chance to gain more materials was pointless if they had to replicate the powerful event that had ended up opening many cuts on the pale-purple skin.

Attacking had become the best way to preserve as many materials as possible now that the jellyfish appeared about to defeat the external force. Waves of abilities flew out of the platoon as King Elbas threw a fiery spear toward the dark world. His decision to resume the offensive made everyone discharge their acc.u.mulated power.

The dark world opened when those abilities arrived. The dark matter created a perfect passage for those attacks that led them directly to the injured spots of the jellyfish.

The massive and multicolored wave of attacks didn't manage to do much when it hit the creature's skin, but the same didn't apply to the techniques that approached the injuries.

Foreign energy entered the creature's insides and started ravaging them. There wasn't much to destroy there, but the abilities managed to consume or force out the fuel contained inside the jellyfish.

The creature inevitably weakened after losing another chunk of its power, but the experts couldn't do much about that. The jellyfish's power appeared determined to fall under the ninth rank, but King Elbas and the others had started to care only about its energy.

The chaos spread inside the dark world destroyed large chunks of its dark matter, but Noah did his best to enlarge the area covered by his technique while he continued to deal with the empty creatures. Snore, Night, and Duanlong even came out of his figure and began to help with the offensive, but their efforts mainly worked to preserve the waves of energy.

The jellyfish weakened as the process continued, but the pressure generated by the shattering of the separate space eventually vanished and allowed it to act as it wished. The creature tried to pull part of the waves of energy inside the dark world back inside its body, but Noah's companions didn't let that be.

Night sensed a wave of power filling its body and bringing its power on the upper tier of the eighth rank. Noah was empowering the creature with his ambition, and faces even appeared in its empty insides as the effects of Isaac's ability spread.

Cutting the jellyfish open was nearly impossible for normal experts, even if they focused on its injuries. However, Night probably had the best offensive in the entire higher plane. Its ability ignored materials and focused directly on the laws that kept them in one piece.

Night even had the double boost from Noah's ambition and stolen ability other than a series of violent thoughts that flowed through the mental connection. The Pterodactyl was at its absolute peak, while the jellyfish's skin had started to lose power long ago.

The injuries on the jellyfish's head suddenly enlarged as Night severed the law that kept its flesh together. The creature even sent a few details back to Noah, and the latter didn't hesitate to call Robert.

The expert neared Noah, but the two didn't exchange words. A wave of bloodthirsty thoughts engulfed Robert when he was close to his leader, and a deeper understanding of the jellyfish's skin filled his mind.

Robert couldn't help but reveal a crazy smile as a purple substance gathered in his palm. The toxic materials gained the shape of multiple tiny horns that shot toward the dark world and crossed it to reach the jellyfish.

The attacks seemed to have some effects at that time. The toxic substance still couldn't go past the skin due to its fabric with power in the ninth rank, but the same didn't apply to the insides of the injuries.

Purple spots acc.u.mulated on the wounds' edges and spread while consuming the few strands of energy that still filled its skin. Robert's law finally started to inflict some damage over time, and the experts quickly tried to imitate him.

Waves of energy flew toward the jellyfish as the attacks moved forward. Still, they couldn't do much since they lacked Noah's unique insights on the actual weaknesses of the creature.

Noah decided to spread his influence at that sight. Bloodthirsty thoughts and ideas on how to destroy the jellyfish entered their minds and gave new power to the offensive. Moreover, Robert's ability was slowly destroying the last defenses of the creature's skin, so the second wave of attacks ended up inflicting damage.

Spiderwebs of cracks started to open on the jellyfish's head and release even more energy. The dark world contained it, but some flares eventually left the wounds and pierced the dark matter before dispersing into the void.

The experts knew that they had to end the battle quickly to preserve that energy, so they continued their assault. The creature tried to fly away once the danger became too massive, but King Elbas and the others never stopped attacking to keep its position still.

The entirety of the jellyfish's head slowly fell apart and released a cloud made of a slimy pale-purple substance and a lot of energy. Noah paid attention to the changes in the creature while fending off the empty creatures. It seemed that his companions had managed to deliver a killing blow.
