Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

The flying knife, like a dart, quickly penetrated the ogre's back.

More strangely, the flying knife ran through the ogre's body effortlessly until it fell onto the ground with its force spent.

At this sight, Zen was rendered speechless. He considered two possibilities. The first was that he was powerful enough to throw the flying knife through the ogre, but this was obviously impossible.

Another possibility was that the seemingly broken flying knife was sharp enough to run through the ogre.

Zen found that the second possibility was more likely than the first.

'This is a powerful flying knife!' Zen marveled at the knife's magic.

The colossal ogre was overcome with pain and staggered until spots of light consumed it.

Zen killed the only grade five unreal beast!

"Ding....."

A pure black crystal fragment fell onto the ground and bounced toward Zen's hand.

The black crystal fragment was all that Zen needed to pass the blooded test...

Zen, with the black crystal fragment in hand, could not help but curse the designer of the magic array.

Zen would rather deal with numerous grade three unreal beasts than the grade five unreal beast, namely, the ogre.

Zen, at that moment, was not short of other colored crystal fragments. Now, he was more concerned about the flying knife than the fragments.

Still reeling from the pain caused by the ogre's blow, Zen managed to take several steps. The knife had fallen in the bushes and shrubs. He could no longer see it.

'The magical flying knife is a must for my collection, ' Zen thought.

'How can it be lost?' Zen wondered.

After a careful and meticulous search, Zen finally found a small hole in the ground.

'Too bad... considering its overwhelming strength, the flying knife must have embedded itself in the ground, ' Zen thought.
