Chapter 27: Harvesting Purity
Two figures moved with staggering speed, their bodies smeared with the blood of both kin and monsters.
Azrael was silent as an arrow, eyes scanning ahead making full use of the fact that he had yet to be discovered. While Victor remained some distance behind, both because the Heir of Death was becoming swifter and because his giant frame had a large chance to alert their new foes.
As for why Azrael was sprinting with everything he had, it was pretty simple.
He was slowly freezing.
He had planned to avoid bloodshed. Unfortunately for him, however, after the fiasco with him almost losing his sanity, that plan was now out of the window. His attire was long soaked in blood, the liquid caused his body temperature to drop more quickly. The only way to keep the cold at bay was to keep moving.
Yet he liked to think of himself as an optimist, while he was drenched in guts, it seems that he didn’t have a hard time finding Chosen around the Rift.
There were no doubt many that had realized that there was a monster of the Tainted Corruption Rank in the area. That left them with no option but to sooner or later team up and slay it. For it not only would give them big rewards — instantly ranking up their Purity, as most were still at the Chosen Rank — but also net them more points for their respective schools.
’If my theory is correct, the members of both schools will create subjection teams trying to defeat it. There is no way I will be allowed to join the Elite school... so might as well thin out their numbers before they unite’ he concluded.
It didn’t take long to find the next prey: a group of four, two men and two women.
Azrael wouldn’t have attacked under normal circumstances... however the party was in the middle of subjugating a monster, one of the Twisted Corruption Rank.
