Chapter 245: The fallens are found
Thousands of Corruption Beasts with butterfly-like wings swarmed toward Daniel, like a wave of living darkness.
With a single leap, he threw himself into the air, enhancing The Heavens Honor with a surge of death energy. The blade shined, and thin streams of Eternity energy flowed through it, as if time and death had fused inside the sword.
Ever since reaching B-rank, the Flower of Eternity had evolved slightly, and now the amount of Eternity power he could borrow had increased significantly.
With a sharp spin, he swung the blade at the first beast. The black scales tore apart, green sticky blood sprayed out, and the creature crashed to the ground with a horrible shriek. One down... but still too many left.
The beasts shrieked with the cry of corruption. The sound stabbed into Daniel’s mind like a dagger, breaking his focus for a moment.
’I can’t lose focus!’ There were too many of them—one slip could mean serious injury.
He ignited flames into his blade. Red and black fire erupted from The Heavens Honor and shot toward a group of beasts. Their fragile wings caught fire, and several of them screamed as they fell to the ground.
One of the beasts lunged at Daniel’s shoulder with venomous jaws. He dodged quickly, but its fangs grazed his arm. The poison spread through his body like acid, burning as if it was melting flesh and skin.
He clenched his teeth as blood poured from the wound and his arm went numb.
’Fuck this luck,’ he wanted to curse, but there was no point—and he couldn’t use Mana Healing to recover either.
With a quick move, he concentrated death energy in his body to neutralize the venom, but doing so rapidly drained his mana.
