Chapter 19: Blade of Life and Death
Item: [Gravebloom]
Item Type: [Weapon]
Item Rank: [Blessed]
Item Description: [Blood and Death stained the soil from countless wars, yet Life always found a way to sprout, even in the harshest and deadliest places. The Graveblooms were forged for this task — to punish the sinful and to harvest the new life that blooms from their demise.]
Azrael studied the description several times over making sure that he didn’t miss a single detail.
’So, if I understand this correctly, this thing isn’t just made for killing but also for farming?’ He raised an eyebrow, deep in thought.
Of course, there was a chance he was mistaken. But if he wasn’t, then this was something far better than he had ever imagined. Taken literally, it meant that life could spring from the blood his enemies left behind.
Some Forsaken that didn’t have to worry about Rifts could have dismissed this as useless, however, Azrael had been warned how deadly going into a Rift really was.
And what was the most overlooked issue when going on missions to close one?
Food.
Many items could create drinkable water, but food? That was a different matter entirely. Any edible item would be consumed and quickly gone. Seeds wouldn’t grow inside the Rift without special care. Monster meat? That was a gamble—there was a high chance it would be poisonous even after cooking, toxic to the Chosen.
’If I am right, this could save me in the future,’ he mused.
