(It seems unlikely that you will be able to absorb Thorin's energy without alerting the greatsword...... ）

Reluctant to retract his hand again, Artevans sighed silently.

This is his tenth attempt, and each time he has tried a different way, but none of them have been successful. Not only will the effect of long-range mobilization make the extermination react, but even if it directly attacks Thorin's body, it will still be blocked by the extermination.

However, there is one most direct method, which Artevans did not use, and that is to kill Soreen first.

Seeing this, Rusa was puzzled and asked, "Lord Artevans, why don't you just kill her and absorb her energy?"

"The Arm of Black Death only gains the most energy when it forcibly absorbs the energy of living creatures and squeezes them dry to death. And if I kill her first, the amount of energy I can absorb will be greatly reduced, and I don't want that." Atfans replied immediately.

"But that's not the way to do it now."

"Try again, if it doesn't work, just do what you say."

With that, Artevans took a few steps back, spreading the scattered energy around Thorin's body and slowly gathering it.

This time, Artevans wanted to try to see if just a cloud of energy approaching Sorin, whether it would attract the attention of the exterminator.

The energy that spread out was less than five centimeters away from Sorin, and the whole process did not alarm the extermination, which gave Artevans a little hope.

Eventually, however, that hope was dashed.

Just when the energy was two centimeters away from Sorin's body, it suddenly seemed to have received some kind of impact and was discharged, and the exterminator immediately emitted a louder sword sound again.

Atlance sank his face and returned the energy that had permeated Thorin to his body, regrouping into wholeness.

"In that case, there's no way around it." As he spoke, Artevans raised his hand and unfurled a black magic circle above Thorin's head.

A large black spear gradually appeared in the magic circle, aiming at Thorin.

Then, Atfans jerked his hand down, and the massive black spear fell on top of Thorin's head, making a sound like glass shattering as it sliced through the air.

Eventually, Artevans decided to do what Rusa had said, killing Thorin who was still asleep before absorbing Thorin's energy.

However, the moment he saw that the black spear was about to hit Sorin's body, the exterminator suddenly moved to the top of Sorin's head, and burst out with a powerful energy that blocked the black spear.

And then, there was a scene that surprised Atfans.

I saw that the extermination exuded an even more dazzling brilliance, and a cloud of energy that could be seen with the naked eye poured out from the black crystal on the body of the exterminating sword, and gradually converged on the hilt of the sword.

The mass of energy continued to grow, eventually forming a human form, whose movements seemed to be holding the extermination.

The humanoid suddenly exerted force, pushed the falling black spear away, and swung the extermination to slash out an air blade, smashing the heavenly magic array.

Looking at what was happening in front of him, Artevans was a little amazed, after all, he had never seen anything like it, and he wasn't quite sure what this figure was.

Still, Artevans had an idea in his mind, and to test it, he turned his head and asked, "Do you know that thing, Arubha?"

"I haven't seen it, but it looks like it's a spirit lodged in that greatsword." Rusha responded immediately.

"It seems that you are similar to what I thought." Artevans smiled, and then turned his attention back to the humanoid.

After disposing of the magic circle unfolded by Atvance, the figure fell to the ground and gently waved the extinguishing punishment, pointing at Atlvans.

Then, the silhouette of the figure became more refined, and even the body and appearance gradually appeared.

Eventually, the figure took the form of a young man, holding Thorin behind him.

"...... you?" Seeing the human form in front of him take on a human form, Artevans asked, trying to establish a dialogue with the spirit in front of him.

"I am the Sword Soul Exterminator, the spirit that resides in the sword formed by the energy accumulation of this giant sword over many years, and my mission is to protect the people who use it." The self-proclaimed Sword Soul Exterminator said in a deep and neutral voice, "And you, who have tried to harm my master many times, I really can't stand it, so I can only show up and stop it."

"I hope you give up that evil thought as soon as possible and leave here, otherwise, I will kill you at all costs!"

With that, Sword Soul Torture slashed the giant sword Torture in his hand to the ground, slashing out a fierce sword aura and flying towards Atfans.

Artevans didn't pay attention to the sword soul in front of him, so he gently raised his right hand to unfold a barrier, and then raised his left hand to unfold a magic array in front of his palm, ready to launch a counterattack.

But immediately, he felt the amazing energy coming from the sword qi.

(There is such a powerful energy!?) ）

Artevans sighed silently in his heart, and immediately became a little more serious, transforming the barrier into a vortex, absorbing the flying sword qi.

Immediately after, Artevans injected the dark energy in his body into the magic array in front of the palm of his left hand, shooting out a purple ray.

Looking at the rapidly approaching ray, the Sword Soul Extinguisher slowly closed his eyes, held the giant sword Torture Punishment tightly in his hand, and stood it erect in front of him, his left hand gently stroked the sword body, and there were words in his mouth.

Immediately, he suddenly opened his eyes, and with a hard slap of his left hand, a black cyclone suddenly surrounded the body of the sword of extermination, and a deafening sword roar sounded.

The sound of the sword roaring made Artevans frown, he didn't like it. However, instead of retracting the rays he had emitted, he increased the amount of energy he had injected.

After the cyclone completely covered the entire giant sword, the Sword Soul Destroyer quickly slashed at the flying ray, sweeping out a huge black sword qi.

The black sword qi instantly dispersed the rays, and without the slightest intention of weakening, it continued towards Artevans.

The power of the sword qi was beyond Artfans' imagination, and he could only immediately condense a black ball and throw it out, canceling each other out with the flying sword qi.

The qi wave that erupted when the black ball and the sword qi canceled each other out had not yet dissipated, and the sword soul extinguishing had already broken through the qi wave and rushed straight towards Atfans. Artevans was about to attack, but Rusha took the lead and stood in front of her, using her black claws to block the attack of Sword Soul Extermination.

Rusha immediately spread out the black shadows that made up her body, turning them into tentacles, binding the sword soul to kill the torture, and shouted to Atvance, "Lord Atvance, attack its abdomen!"

Artevans nodded, and without any hesitation, condensed a long black knife and stabbed out.

The long knife penetrated Ai Rusha's abdomen, but at the same time, it also penetrated the abdomen of the Sword Soul Extermination, and this blow made the action of the Sword Soul Exterminating Punishment instantly stagnate.
