The battle raged on, the entire place a scene of carnage. The field was filled with bodies. Blood lay like sand beneath their feet, while battle cries and clashing weapons filled the air. The Chosen, having understood it was a battle between life and death, fought fiercely. Most of them aided one another, grouping on the orcs whenever their colleagues were losing ground. They displayed great finesse with their weapons and skills, proof of the years of training they had endured. In the midst of this blood-soaked battle, Fearless Rebel stood with a face full of excitement. All around him lay several orcs he had ruthlessly slain. Pressed beneath his foot was one of the dead orcs. His weapon laid atop it as his eyes swept across the entire expanse that was filled with red. “This got more exciting than I imagined,” he grinned. His eyes further lit up with thrill as he watched his fellow Chosen brutalize the orcs without mercy. Although he didn’t exactly doubt their capabilities from the beginning, he was quite worried that they’d be against killing. He had a competitive nature. Somehow, after finding out the Paths were segregated into different zones, he had thought about the possibility of every zone’s performance being calculated and displayed in the interface to note the ranks. If that happened, he wanted their zone to be at the top, and of course, him at the very top if there were individual rankings. Seeing the Chosen unleash their full power, his worry faded. He further scanned the battlefield, his eyes roaming the battlefield as if in search of something…. or someone. But when his eyes didn’t land on whatever he was looking for, a small smile curved the corners of his lips. “Good, he’s hiding well.” With calm eyes, he dragged his gaze back to his front, staring intently at his weapon that stood pressed against the dead orc. The weapon was completely soaked, dripping thick blood onto the already bloodied orc on the ground. His eyes fixated sternly on it, a puzzling expression quietly taking over his face. The weapon was a basic axe, entirely black. Its handle was matte black, while the blade gleamed with a sleek dark sheen. It measured roughly thirty inches in length. To every eye, it seemed nothing but a plain axe fit for chopping wood. That was what it looked like from all angles. Some Chosen had even doubted its use when they saw it, terming it useless. Even Fearless Rebel himself didn’t think much about it when he chose it. He simply took it because the plain design looked enticing to his eyes. But— I’ve awakened three skills with this axe at beginner level. That’s odd, he stared intently at it. Not only are the skills very useful, they are deadly and vital for this battle…. almost as if it was crafted to aid the user to victory. “Status Window,” he whispered. He lifted his gaze to the interface when it appeared and started browsing his skills. ______________________ — Skill — Blooded Edge Type: Passive → Triggered (Weapon-Bound) Cost: None (Conditional) Trigger: Hits that draw blood Level: 20% awakened Description: The axe feeds on the blood of enemies it wounds.

However, each absorbed blood charge increases the weapon's weight, reducing swing speed and increasing stamina strain. High strength recommended for optimal usage. •Limits/Condition• To cleanse the axe of the blood it drank and return its weight to normal, the skill must reach maximum level.
