Alex dodged the venom from the snake head and tried to get closer.
However, the snake was so good at attacking and positioning that no matter what Alex tried, he couldn't get past the snake's offensive defense.
Frowning, Alex looked at the knife on his hand and said, "I really want to use [Energy Slash] right now but… I know you'll break if I force you again like last time."
Alex doesn't know how he should proceed now.
Currently, Alex knows that [Energy Slash] could solve this problem and break the snake's defense with one slash if he put enough mana to it.
But the problem is, if he tries to overflow the knife with mana again, it will surely break into pieces.
And Alex doesn't want that to happen.
As for trying out other knives, Alex knows that it's also not possible because, only this knife that has consciousness can handle a great amount of mana forcefully.
