The pitch-black river descended on half of the city, and the very next moment, a torrent of notification rang in his ears.
On the other hand, Virulent was still holding her bloody monster core in his grip while she looked at the masked man in front of her in a stupor. She felt icy as the dark river was stirring just a few meters to the left.
It was like she was in a nightmare, but the terrible pain and hole in her stomach indicated otherwise.
After ten seconds, the ghastly river started to dissipate like an illusion, but what was left afterward was nothing short of a horror site. Because wherever the dark river had descended, nothing was left except for a dark corroded wasteland.
However, Cyrus didn't care as the massive number of particles stormed him, and he instantly recovered the exhausted Qi he had used to cast that terrifying spell for entire 10 seconds.

Cyrus's eyes narrowed with surprise and disbelief when he saw the notifications about the Lust Sword!
The excitement of leveling five times in a row and even completing one of the lust sword mission conditions quickly vanished into smoke.
"She already reached the limit of mortal rank, and I need to be tier-100 to match hers? Are you deliberating making things difficult for me, system?" Cyrus felt strong indignation at this moment and questioned the system darkly.
Before, he thought that after Eve reached the 10th rank, she might need even more XP to increase her rank further, and he even needed to complete a mission for her as well, just like his own power system works. He was even frustrated about it since her XP seemed to be fixed at a certain level, and once she achieved a new level, she would naturally need more XP.
However, even though his latter conjecture appeared to be true but the first was far from being accurate.
Now that he found that the little girl reached the end of mortal rank after just ten ranks, he was bound to feel indignation towards the system and even felt the system was too biased towards Eve. He wasn't jealous; instead, he was vigilant!
"[User doesn't need to compare yourself to a treasure. You should be more knowledgeable about how the ranks of treasures and living beings would work. Same rules apply to Lust Sword or even more so since the Lust Sword has three more ranks than a typical treasure!]"
Cyrus was stumped by system words and found this explanation extremely accurate, and that momentary fury vanished, and his mind became clear.
But another wave of coldness crept past his eyes, "I was under the impression that Eve is alive. Is she not?"
"[System can only reply with this, she is alive yet at the same time she is not.]"
"Which means, if I considered her a treasure, then she is not alive, and if I considered a treasure spirit, then she is alive." Cyrus coldly refuted, "Last question, will she ever be truly alive?"
"[It simply depends on User's diligence and prowess.]"
Cyrus coldly scoffed while secretly feeling relief as this subtle answer was enough to put his mind at ease, and he closed the system interface after glancing at the lust mission for one final time.
However, his scoff made Virulent yelp in panic as she thought Cyrus wasn't happy at all. She was now fully terrified of Cyrus and didn't dare to even think about retaliating. In fact, every alive person in the city was now tongue-tied and ashen.
Cyrus finally looked towards the half-monster holding her own monster core in front of him and then sighed ruefully.
"Don't worry. I'm not interested in half-monsters. Only when you're a complete monster, then you are qualified to spend a night with me."
Virulent was gobsmacked by Cyrus's blunt words and almost felt like he was judging her like some good. As a woman who was courted by every male and even foreign powers in her tribe, she felt a massive blow to her confidence despite her current situation.
Cyrus didn't care about her inner turmoil and continued, "You can ingest your monster core back. I was just testing your willingness to live, and since you choose to live over dying with empty pride, then it means you cherish your life."
Cyrus then coldly uttered at gobsmacked Virulent, "Besides, do you think if I want you as a slave, I will need your permission to make you one? Now that you submit to me and appear to be the strongest in here, you should know where the dimension core is, right?"
Virulent felt a chill run down her spine and instantly replied, "Y-yes!"
He maliciously chuckled, "Heh, take me there, that thing dare to gaze at my woman the wrong way. It's time to inflict the punishment!"
