Chapter 638 Insanely Sharp
Clouds of dust swirled as the forest echoed with the sound of footsteps—one light and agile, the other slow and heavy, both carrying an air of aggression.
After noticing Shye, a mere human, charging at it, the Bloodskin Ogre roared in fury.
Contrary to its appearance, the red-skinned monster wasn't stupid.
It knew it was being "hunted" by an audacious little human.
Hence, it quickly picked up its giant wooden club, brandishing it towards Shye as it charged forward to meet him in combat.
"Hmph! Fast, but not fast enough!" Shye snorted, jumping up and landing atop the club.
He then sprinted towards the ogre, bloodthirst apparent in his eyes.
Shye wasn't sure why, but his new weapons seemed to stir an urge to kill within him—perhaps a side effect of the bloodstone.
He didn't mind, though, relishing the sensation.
The Bloodskin Ogre realized that its attack had been evaded and that the human had no intentions of backing down.
Hence, after another furious roar, it used its other hand—fingers thicker than logs—to grab Shye, aiming to squish him like the bug he was.
Shye was way smaller compared to the ogre. However, he was no bug.
This time, Shye didn't even bother to dodge, slashing Darky and Murky towards the approaching hand.
*SPURT!*
The result brought a smile to his face.
Blood splattered everywhere as five severed fingers hurtled through the air, falling close to the ogre's feet and eliciting a roar of agony from the red-skinned monstrosity.
However, much to the creature's misfortune, its suffering had only just begun.@@@@
Before it could even comprehend what happened, its vision suddenly turned black.
It was blinded!
*ROAR!*
'What a superb battle, master. Truly magnificent.'
'Thank you, Zeth!'
However, the two couldn't converse for long as Darky and Murky subtly shivered, capturing the trio's attention.
"Hmm? Something's happening to the greatswords..."
Moments later, Shye noticed that Darky and Murky were absorbing the blood! The evidence was the blood on the blades slowly drying up.
He then lifted both blades, trying to see if their weight increased.
Unfortunately, it appeared that the increase in weight and sharpness was so minimal that Shye didn't notice any difference.
"Oh? What if I...?"

Shye, struck by inspiration, quickly drove both greatswords into the dead Bloodskin Ogre's heart, letting them absorb the blood.
Soon after, Shye couldn't help but smile as he watched the bloodstone edges work their magic.
A few minutes later, the creature was entirely drained of blood, sparing Nookie the trouble of doing it manually.
"Ukyii! Thank you, master! This will make a great addition to my puppets!" the scrawny necrollin exclaimed with excitement.
It then quickly extracted the core from the creature, tossing it to Zeth before starting the process of turning the corpse into a corpse puppet.
"Alright, Nookie, this will be your new training area. I'll check in from time to time to monitor your progress."
"Understood, master! I, Nookie, will build the grandest corpse army you've ever seen!" the little necrollin declared, earning a nod of approval from its master.
After leaving the little necrollin to its work, Shye mounted Zeth, and the master-familiar duo made their way back to Valenzia City.
He needed to hunt for gemstones and other crafting materials not only for his greatswords but also for the armor set and elemental staff base he planned to commission from Meido.
He would also need to research who the best arcanist was to commission for turning the elemental staff base into a fully functional elemental staff.
Shye had a lot to do, and he had to do it before six months were up as his mandatory hero missions would probably get in the way once the WAA finished his official registration.
