Chapter 40: Harvest
’Is it because they are fifth-floor ascenders? No, then why should they give only that little of a stat boost? Not to mention they doesn’t even trigger the effects of the Cross-level Combatant title?’ wondering why is it that he can only harvest so little despite absorbing the life force of an ascender who already reached the fifth floor of the tower, Azrael thought to himself before the guide pops up with an answer for his query.
[The Evil Fang Sword can only absorb the amount of life force that the target is currently using. As these ascenders all have their actual strength sealed due to their descent, the Evil Fang Sword can only absorb the life force of an equal amount to a second-floor ascender with stats maxed out.]
’I see, then there’s no use dwelling about some imaginary meat, in fact, it also makes sense since technically, I only fought against second-floor ascenders...’ Azrael thought to himself as he starts moving away from the corpse, not forgetting to completely dispatch it by leaving a bit of blood enough to attract monsters in the distance.
Travelling towards the other corpses, the young man heard the roaring of beasts not only from behind him, but also ahead of him as well, making him feel uncomfortable as he already expected the worst, with his hunt being devoured by other monsters in the area.
Fortunately for him though, these monsters who are also clearly aiming for the dead human bodies are still busy fighting among themselves to determine who will be the one to rightfully take the food in front of them, this fight ending all for naught as they all flopped onto the ground before they could even realize what was going on, the only memory being etched in their mind being a black crescent arc passing through their eyes before they fell unconscious.
