With the Baneful Abyss in hand, Yuan calmly approached the nearest Abyssal Crystal Ant.
The moment it sensed his presence—and the ominous aura radiating from the dagger—the creature let out an inaudible cry before turning to flee.
"You can run, but you can't hide."
Yuan made no move to chase the ant. In fact, he came to a complete stop.
Then, when it had fled far enough, he drew his arm back and hurled the Baneful Abyss, sending it streaking through the air like a deadly missile.
In the span of a heartbeat, the Baneful Abyss reached its target, striking the Abyssal Crystal Ant's body—a mass of semi-transparent, greyish crystal.
The blade of the Baneful Abyss pierced the ant's crystal body as effortlessly as a sharp knife through paper, instantly poisoning it and branding it with the Mark of the Baneful.
The venom was so potent that the Abyssal Crystal Ant was brought to the brink of death in an instant.
