Chapter 63: Blessed Death
"At least my weapon is here."
He opened the next section of his rewards.
A moment later, a large, polished black scythe appeared in his hand.
Kaiser looked at it with a small smile.
This was the weapon he had created after years of work.
His greatest creation.
The Scythe of Blessed Death.
He slowly examined the weapon, but his expression soon changed.
"Huh?"
"It’s sealed?"
Kaiser looked at the information displayed beside the scythe.
The weapon was indeed sealed, with most of its abilities currently unavailable.
He continued reading the conditions.
"The seal will be removed as I increase in rank huh."
Kaiser nodded after understanding the requirement.
"Well, it too powerful for current me anyway."
He wasn’t disappointed.
The weapon had been designed to grow alongside him, so it was only natural that some of its power would remain inaccessible for now.
Kaiser looked at the black scythe in his hand one last time before storing it away.
He then walked over to the side of the room and picked up a sword from his desk.
It was the Bleeding Edge, the Uncommon-Rank weapon that had once belonged to his father.
Kaiser looked at the familiar blade for a moment.
"Just wait a few more days, Father. As soon as I’m able to heal you, I’ll do it without wasting any time."
His Reconstruction Talent was powerful enough to repair and even upgrade almost anything.
The only limitations were that he could use Reconstruction only three times a day and that each use also need mana according to the item or being he is using it on.
Kaiser firmly held the Bleeding Edge in his hand.
He then activated Reconstruction.
Golden light spread across the blade, covering it from the handle to the tip.
The weapon began to change as its structure was reconstructed and strengthened.
A few moments later, the golden light slowly faded.
A notification appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations!]
[You have successfully upgraded the Uncommon-Rank weapon, Bleeding Edge.]
[The weapon has evolved into a Rare-Rank weapon.]
[New Weapon Name: Laceration Blade]
[ Laceration Blade ]
Rank: Rare
Type: One-Handed Sword
Level Requirement: 30
Durability: 100/100
Attack Power: +180
Strength: +35
Agility: +25
Laceration
Attacks made with the blade have a 30% chance to inflict Deep Wound.
Deep Wound causes continuous 10% damage based on the target’s Vitality and reduces the effectiveness of rapid regeneration or related skill.
Bleeding Edge
Every successful attack has a chance to cause the target to bleed.
Bleeding targets suffer additional 1% damage whenever they move or attack.
Blood Scent
The blade becomes more effective against wounded enemies.
Damage dealt to targets below 50% HP is increased by 15%.
Sharpness Enhancement
The blade’s cutting ability is greatly enhanced.
Physical resistance provides reduced protection against its attacks.
"Beautiful," Kaiser mumbled as the sword in his hand was covered in faint white light.
Thin, thread-like patterns of light spread across the blade, while a deep red sheen appeared along its edge.
"No matter what world I’m in, katanas really are beautiful swords," he muttered as he moved the blade through the air.
As he swung it, the red sheen along the edge seemed to become more prominent, giving the sword a sharp and dangerous appearance.
"Now I just need to level up and increase my mana enough to use Reconstruction on humans."
Kaiser had already tried using Reconstruction on his father, but the attempt had failed.
[Insufficient Mana.]
Kaiser frowned slightly.
"I’ll have to increase my mana first."
He then thought about his current level.
"Though, I wonder how many stat points I’ll get now."
Kaiser opened his status screen.

"Hmm, I still have two uses of Reconstruction left. I should use one on my skills, but which one?"
Kaiser looked through his skill list for a moment before making his decision.
Kaiser decided to upgrade Lights of Purification.
It was already a Rare-Rank skill that could remove various negative effects and was particularly effective against undead and darkness-type targets.
Kaiser focused on the skill and activated Reconstruction.
Golden light immediately surrounded his body before flowing into the skill.
The energy gathered around the skill information for several seconds before the light suddenly disappeared.
[Reconstruction has been activated.]
[Target: Lights of Purification]
[Analyzing skill structure...]
[Reconstructing...]
[Skill reconstruction complete.]
[Lights of Purification has been upgraded from Rare Rank to Epic Rank.]
[The skill has evolved into Purifying Radiance.]
Kaiser immediately opened the new skill information.
[Purifying Radiance]
Rank: Epic
Type: Light Magic / Support
Description: Generates powerful pure radiance that can spread around the user or be concentrated on a specific target.
The radiance purifies harmful influences, removes negative effects, and suppresses corrupted energy.
Effect 1: Greater Purification
Removes poison, paralysis, bleeding, curses, corruption, darkness-based effects, weakening effects, mental interference, and other negative status conditions depending on their strength.
The purification can also suppress persistent negative effects and prevent weaker negative effects from being reapplied for a short period.
The effectiveness of purification depends on the difference between the user’s power and the strength of the negative effect.
Effect 2: Purifying Light
The user can release the radiance as a concentrated attack.
Deals greatly increased damage to undead, darkness-type creatures, corrupted beings, evil-aligned creatures, and other targets vulnerable to light or purification.
Effect 3: Radiant Protection
The user can surround themselves or an ally with a layer of purifying radiance.
The radiance reduces incoming curse, corruption, poison, and darkness-based damage while continuously purifying weaker negative effects.
Mana Cost: 1000
Kaiser nodded as he read through the description.
"This is much better."
