Alex dodged the venom from the snake head and tried to get closer.
However, the snake was so good at attacking and positioning that no matter what Alex tried, he couldn't get past the snake's offensive defense.
Frowning, Alex looked at the knife on his hand and said, "I really want to use [Energy Slash] right now but... I know you'll break if I force you again like last time."
Alex doesn't know how he should proceed now.
Currently, Alex knows that [Energy Slash] could solve this problem and break the snake's defense with one slash if he put enough mana to it.
But the problem is, if he tries to overflow the knife with mana again, it will surely break into pieces.
And Alex doesn't want that to happen.
As for trying out other knives, Alex knows that it's also not possible because, only this knife that has consciousness can handle a great amount of mana forcefully.
If it was other knives, they would break the moment Alex put more than 100 mana into them.
While Alex is thinking of what to do with a frown, the knife on his hand starts vibrating again.
Even though the knife doesn't have a mouth to let it speak, Alex felt like he understood what the knife wanted to express.
Worriedly, Alex said, "You want me to just go with it? But you will break if I do that!"
The knife vibrated gently this time as if to tell Alex to trust it.
Alex frowned and thought about it for a moment.
Then as if he resolved himself, Alex said, "Okay, fine. Then we'll go with it."
"But I'm telling you. Don't you dare break on me."
The knife vibrated again but this time, with a hint of excitement on it.
Alex was confused by this but chose to ignore it.
Getting into stance, Alex started charging the knife with mana through the [Energy Slash] skill.
The knife started glowing brighter as more mana got injected to it.
Then after a while, just as Alex expected, it started getting hard to put more mana into the knife.
At the same time, the knife started trembling hard.
Boom!
Alex was surprised and hurriedly looked at his hand, only to see that the knife is no longer there.
"No! Damn, I knew this would happen."
"What am I going to do now?!"
Alex started panicking for the first time.
For some reason, that knife has long since become a precious item in Alex's heart.
At the same time, he still wanted to study it.
However, now that it's gone, Alex doesn't know what to do next.
But just then, light particles started gathering in front of Alex and the Chimera's blood that's been spilled on the ground before floated in the air and mixed in with the light particles.
Alex looked at it and muttered, "What the hell is happening now?"
Gradually, the Chimera's blood and the light particle blended together making the light particles also red.
Now, the red light started glowing brighter and brighter until finally, Alex can no longer watch it so he has to close his eyes.
After a while, the bright light subsided and Alex slowly opened his eyes.
When he did, Alex can't help but let out a voice of admiration.
"Wow... this is beautiful."
At this time, the blended Chimera's blood and light particles have suddenly become a blood red knife with wonderful lines on it.
And just by looking at it, Alex can see the danger and sharpness that the blade of the knife holds.
Alex seems to have become fascinated with the knife and slowly started approaching it.
Stretching out his hands, Alex held the knife in his hand.
Suddenly, Alex felt a familiar feeling coming from the knife.
Alex thought of something and looked at the red knife, unsurely saying, "You... are you that knife?"
The knife that Alex is talking about is of course the knife that just exploded after being overused.
As if to confirm his words, the knife started vibrating excitedly.
Bzzt bzzt!
Alex's eyes lit up, "It's really you!"
