THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

It was the Blightbeast that Glen had escaped from!

Of course, Ivan didn't know that Glen had also met the Blightbeast but was saved by the shifting labyrinth.

The Blightbeast walked out from the blood wall as if the wall was invisible and not as sturdy as a fortress, it was munching on the severed head of the Venomthorn Hydra while gazing at it.

Ivan "..."

What the hell was going on? Are these two fighting?

Ivan glanced at the two. The Blightbeast had a few scratches and some chunks of flesh missing from its body; it was covered in black liquid that caused the sores on its body to rot faster, but its injuries were nowhere close to the condition that the Venomthorn Hydra was in.

It only had one head left, its other two heads were missing and blood tendrils were forming in their place, and on its body were multiple claw wounds and bite marks.

Ivan silently moved backward and found a remote corner to watch what was going to unfold. He had no desire to get ganged up on by these monsters, so it was best to hide for now and be a spectator.

The Venomthorn Hydra slithered on the ground and lifted its remaining head, it hissed at the Blightbeast and shot a wave of purple mist at its face.

The mist crashed into the face of the Blightbeast and some seeped into its eyes and nose.

Roar!

The Blightbeast tossed the half-eaten serpent head in its mouth away and roared, seemingly in pain. Its eyes closed tightly as small drops of blood flowed from the corner, and yellowish glue-like liquid gushed out from its nose.

The Venomthorn Hydra immediately took advantage of the beast's short moment of blindness to attack.

Wriggling across the ground with impressive speed, it shot toward the Blightbeast before wrapping its body around the beast.

It opened its mouth and spat out another wave of purple mist before biting at the neck of the Blightbeast with the mouth of its remaining head.

The beast roared as blood gushed out from its neck, it temporarily ignored the pain on its face and slapped the head of the snake that was biting its neck with its large paw.

BAM!

The paw landed on the head of the snake heavily and another claw wound immediately appeared on the remaining head.

But the Venomthorn Hydra was persistent and kept biting regardless.

The beast landed another slap, and a loud sound of bones cracking echoed this time. Blood burst out from the head of the snake, but It kept biting.

Left without a choice, the Blightbeast turned around and ran toward the blood wall.

It passed through it easily, but the same was not so for the snake as its body crashed into the wall with a strong impact; its body flew off the beast's body due to this as the latter disappeared into the blood wall and loomed within it in the form of a massive silhouette.

The snake wriggled in pain on the ground, more blood flowing out from its injuries as the blood tendrils tried to amend them.

Just when Ivan thought that the Blightbeast had fled, it suddenly came out from the wall and jumped at the snake.

It pinned it to the ground, pressing down on its remaining head with its paw, and started ruthlessly tearing at it with its massive teeth.

Blood and pieces of flesh were sent flying everywhere as the Blightbeast shredded the Venomthorn Hydra, blood quickly covering its beastly face.

The Venomthorn Hydra constantly hissed in pain as it thrashed its body under the weight of the Blightbeast, but it was useless as the letter wouldn't bulge; it began spewing out purple mist as a last form of struggle.

Ivan watched the two monsters battling from a distance, a serious expression on his face as he stared at the ghastly scene in front of him.

After watching the fight between the two, Ivan realized that the Blightbeast had the ability to move through the blood wall; this would be. It is a very troublesome ability if it decides to run away from a fight because no one would probably be able to chase it into the wall.

Another thing that he had realized when they arrived was that the beast could take anything along with it into the wall as long as it wanted; that was how it was able to bring the Venomthorn Hydra here.

'I will need to make sure to kill it in one strike so it doesn't escape, it would be troublesome to have such a beast stalking me through the labyrinth; though I'll have to wait to see which of them will survive till the end' Ivan thought inwardly as a card discretely appeared in his hand.

Although it looked very obvious that the Blightbeast was going to win, considering how severely damaged the Venomthorn Hydra was, nothing was certain inside the dreamscape, so Ivan needed to be sure of things before acting.

The fight continued for a few more minutes as the two monsters struggled. Without anything unexpected happening, the Blightbeast finally ripped off the remaining head of the Venomthorn Hydra.

The body of the snake immediately stopped moving and a Nexus crystal was pushed out by a blood spurt.

The Blightbeast caught the crystal with its paw. Even as a creature that had decay and poisoning abilities, the purple mist that the snake kept spitting out had done a lot to it. Its face was currently disfigured and half melted with one eye dangling from its socket like molten steel.

The injuries on its bodies were covered in purple spots with yellow liquid dripping from them and causing the ground to make sizzling sounds upon contact.

It moved to a corner and lay down on its stomach while breathing heavily and letting out soft growls, it was exhausted and in pain.

'This is my chance'

Ivan thought before tossing the card in his hand into the air; the card burst into dazzling three-colored lights before changing into a shiny golden sword.

Half of the energy in Ivan's Nexus chamber was instantly used up when he formed this sword.

Gripping the sword, Ivan dashed from his hiding spot and appeared in front of the Blightbeast like a ghost; his size was like a three-year-old child standing in front of an adult when he stood in front of the beast.

Ignoring the disparity in their sizes, Ivan slashed down with his golden sword with full strength.

A powerful Golden sword wave that shone like a small sun shot out from the sword and sliced through the wind as it flew toward the Blightbeast.

The beast was startled by the sudden appearance of the human and the powerful Golden wave that was flying toward it, it felt a great sense of danger from the golden light.

It immediately thought of escaping; it got up and wanted to run into the blood wall, but it was too late.

Shing!!!

Like a hot knife cutting through tofu, the Golden sword wave sliced through the Blightbeast without any resistance.

It passed through its body, continued to fly forward, and crashed into the blood wall.

BOOM!!

A thunderous explosion that shook the space rang out after the golden sword light crashed into the wall. Ivan's eyes widened, not at the sight of the beast that had been cut in two but at the damage that his attack had caused.

The blood wall that Ivan believed that nothing would be able to damage…had a large sword gash that was over five meters deep in it!
