The knives begin to sever the moon octopus' tentacles; the tentacles attempt to pass the knives and attack Nelson.

The power of knives is determined by two things.

How much soul energy does Nelson invest in them, and what is their rule of ability?

Nelson's ability puts himself at high risk in exchange for empowering and making the knives he controls faster and more powerful.

The moon octopus may have an ability, but that does not mean it has no sense. It knows attacking and destroying knives in the air is not worth anything.

"My knives will intercept any attack directed at me."

My focus should be on destroying that moon octopus.

"In the end, in this battle, I have my partner."

He thought.

He likes to fight alone and puts himself in dire situations. Only when he puts himself in danger in a battle does he believe he is progressing at a much faster rate.

"Having a partner behind me is a self-assuring thing."

"Even if it is some sort of guaranteed type of living."

"Knowing that he is there to protect me gives me a lot of freedom, but it takes away the experience and the real-life danger feeling, which makes the experience I gained insufficiently."

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

He knows many things, but these things are, in the end, not that important.

The mission is clear, the battle is there, and there is only one reality.

Killing or being killed

A soul user who regularly enters battles knew that if he or she targeted a target,

in the end, is natural that there is a chance of being killed by the target.

The people who live to fight and kill most likely die not by natural means but at the hands of others.

In fifteen seconds, all the tentacles of the moon octopus are taken out.

The tentacles were strong enough to break down huge chunks of rock but not fast enough to fight against flying knives. The knives are small and fast, while at the same time being powerful enough to break rocks.

as the tentacles of the moon octopus were cut down.

The rules of the Moon Octopus ability are activated.

Before the ability activates, the creature that looked down on Nelson and Anderson just looks at the flying knives and whispers.

"I did not expect this human to be this strong."

A knife slices past his throat, the blue blood gushing out from his neck, and then the remaining knives start to cut his body, turning him into minced meat.

The Moon Octopus did not even have a chance to fulfill the rule.

According to the Moon Octopus's rule, after the creature's tentacles are severed, the creature will side with the enemy. But it was not needed.

"Good work,"

Anderson comments as he smiles.

"It wasn't that good,"

Nelson spat as he gazed at the creature's corpse.

"I have used too many attacks; at the end of the battle, before finishing that creature, I have already passed my limit."

"Even a simple arrow shot from an ordinary archer would be enough to kill me."

Anderson smiles and says nothing. He still thinks, "In the end, you are the one who created your ability." "The knives are fast and powerful because of those rules."

He did not say these words out loud. He knew that his friend Nelson knew about these things. He just does not like the performance he showed.

"Okay, think about it later; we are just starting."

Anderson claims that as soon as he starts walking, the iron puppets vanish as if they never existed.

Nelson takes a deep breath, and all the knives come back to him.

"He is right; I need to stay calm and regenerate my lost energy." "Who knows what we are going to encounter more of?"
