Chapter 48: Chancing Upon a Peculiar Place
"Can’t I be both?" looking at the middle-aged man’s face clearly looking forward to something, Azrael replies with a peculiar smile on his face, his reply catching the store owner off-guard, a proof to that said man’s eyes growing wide as he heard that, before he exploded into an amused laughter once more.
"Indeed, indeed! Hahahaha, why can one not be both a lunatic and a genius at the same time!! You’re really one hell of a unique kid, aren’t you?" the store owner said after he recovered from his laughter, moving close to the young man to pat him on the shoulders just because he feels like so, his action prompting the smile on the young man’s face to grow bigger as well.
Talking for a little bit more, Azrael finally bid farewell to the store owner, deciding to go outside once again as it will still take quite some time for the last few items on his order to arrive.

A peculiar and unique black light creates a striking arc as the thing emitting it moves, this glowing arc leaving the air just a moment later as if it was never there in the first place, and in its place, blood roses bloom as multiple monster heads fall as they got separated from their bodies.
Looking at multiple dead bodies falling onto the ground with their blood forming a puddle underneath them, a young man couldn’t help but whistle in clear satisfaction as he looks at the sword in his hand, this sword an odd-looking, pure black sword exuding a terrifying murderous intent that seems to scare most of the weaker monster in the surroundings.
"Time for some harvest again~" approaching one of the dead monsters, the sword-wielding young man said as he stabs the weapon in his hand right in the heart of this monster, the weapon acting oddly to any outsider’s view as it starts vibrating the moment it pierced through the carcass’ bloody flesh, before the entire body starts shriveling as if something is sucking it dry.
This peculiar phenomenon is not only happening to this carcass where the sword is stabbed, but also all the other dead monsters in the area, with all of them having their remaining life force silently flowing towards the black sword still in the young man’s hand.
[The ascender already reaches the limit of stats for the current floor, due to this, the life force absorbed by the Evil Fang Sword will go solely to the weapon, increasing its rate of growth]
[Detected that the equipment: Evil Fang Sword has leveled up]
Looking at the guide’s notification suddenly popping up in front of his eyes, the young man smiles as he felt like just this alone is already more than enough of a harvest for him to call it a day, however, hoping that he can still get some more good stuff and seeing that it is still early in the day, he chooses to continue his hunt as he stores the dried-up carcasses right in his newly ’purchased’ spatial ring.
