滴, 滴.
One drop after another of fresh blood slowly dripped from the dagger's edge, but the blood didn't fall to the ground.
Instead, it floated in mid-air and slowly merged into his chest.
A wave of burning pain radiated from that spot, and Ethan Smith felt the bones in his chest twisting.
The imprint at that spot changed once again, this time into a tombstone.
The tombstone seemed somewhat like the tombstone from the Heavenly Sin.
"Master Dagger, you finally came out, and the moment you did, you devoured my Holy Crystal."
Ethan Smith looked at the Holy Crystal, now turned into an ordinary stone, his heart aching almost to tears.
This was the highest grade of Holy Crystal condensed by the endless mine consumed by the cosmics sandworm; he had cultivated it for so long without much wear and tear.
And as soon as Master Dagger emerged, it swallowed the entire fist-sized top-grade Holy Crystal.
