At that moment, the vines that had seemed so indestructible were severed by the slash of John's blade.
The Bloodthirsty Blade, now cloaked in a thick mist of blood, cut through them effortlessly.
As soon as this blood-red mist appeared, it began to absorb the surrounding objects and energy.
John and the others could feel the intense corrosiveness emanating from these substances—this was something far beyond their control.
Dark Fox, the closest to the action, involuntarily gasped.
He could feel the mist beginning to seep through his pores, slowly infiltrating his body.
In that instant, they all realized something was terribly wrong.
A corrosive sensation spread through their internal organs, as if they were being eaten away from the inside.
Even the dullest among them could now sense that this power was not what they had expected.
