Chapter 33: Pleasant surprise
"Blop!"
"Overburning the blacksmith ability!"
"Blop!"
"Overburning the executioner path!"
As soon as I hear those notifications, I see a sharp drop in my points. Instead of going down three points for every second of real-time, I can see them falling down by ten every second of my time!
With thirty points wasted on being stunned by this sight, I change the focus of my eyes to this penguin sword.
From up close, this monster body is truly ginormous! Hanging in the air right under its belly, my estimate is that both its legs and beak is around forty meters! Adding these numbers would mean that this single demonic beast is over eighty meters high!
While this thought clouds my mind for a second, my attribute points falling to the twenties wakes me up from my trance.
Focusing myself yet again on the penguin's sword, I can barely hold my laugh. What I have seen from the ground was just an illusion! While it is indeed a sword, its size was just a big fat lie! The real weapon visible from my point of view is just a regular-sized two-handed weapon, looking like a damn needle in the hand of a giant! It seems that this penguin has some manhood complex to augment his weapon size like this!
Ten points!
Unable to waste even a single moment more, I let my instinct overtake my movements. In a single slash, I feel this enormous strength that propped me forward - disappear. With all the enchantments vanishing due to my points running dry, I'm now falling to the ground from a damn two hundred meters up!
While there is nothing I can do about the drop, I take my sweet sweet time to check the results of my attack. If I'm to die here, I at least want to take my opponent down with me!
SCREEEECH!!!!
Before I even manage to turn my eyes to look at my previous target, the entire atmosphere trembles under the hateful scream of the penguin. Just from this, I can fathom that my small ploy was successful!
Instantly focusing on the air, I need only two seconds to locate the metallic needle falling down with the company of large drops of blood! That's what I need to aim for! Spreading my clothes as far as I can, I tilt my body to glide through the air towards this foreign weapon.
Looking upwards, I see the massive body of this monster turning down and heading for the sword as well! Thankfully, while it can fly, the speed at which it can change the direction or even move is severely limited. If it holds true to his earlier flying, it would be much better to say that instead of flying, it was barely hovering in the air!
With a sudden idea popping out in my head, I turn vertically to dive to the ground. Without waiting for the outcome of my difrent position, I start slashing the air with my windslord!
When firmly locked on the ground, the rebound from launching the wind-wave is minimal, but in a state of freefalling, I can use it to steer my way!
With a myriad slash, I'm getting closer and closer to the sword before my left hand finally catches its grip! At that moment, I feel an insane amount of energy suddenly entering my body!
No, it is not right! No matter how powerful a sword is, it can only augment one's strength, not improve it! It can't be it!
Taking a look at myself, I realise that I'm soaked with this penguin blood! That must be the reason behind a sudden bout of energy appearing in my body!
'Bonger, can you purify this blood?'
If even my body can react in such an overwhelming joy to this liquid, the system should be able to use it in an even more efficient way!"
"Blop!"
"System is capable of purifying and absorbing the blood of a young tyrant penoetiser."
"System will now process the blood."
In this single moment, I noticed the points in my system skyrocketing! From the pitiful zero that was caused by overburning my abilities to a staggering forty-three thanks to a damn, single drop of blood!
In this situation, I couldn't be bothered by this funny sword anymore! Considering how powerful this monster was, it probably only served as a catalyst in casting those fires that bothered me before!
Still using my trusty windslord to propel myself towards these blood droplets falling down from the air, I hid the newly acquired sword to my storage ring before extending my hand towards the red liquid.
PURIFY!
"Blop"
"-.-"
Even the Bonger acting up couldn't spoil my enthusiasm when the numbers on the attribute points count reached my previous one hundred and surpassed it in one go! Apparently, when I was hit by the blood, my body started absorbing its energy with all the difrent contaminations and impurities. Only my high resistance stat protected me from death to those potent poisons that could very well bring down an ordinary spirit attainment expert down!
Just when I was in the process of absorbing the last droplet, I felt my gut screaming!
Instantly slashing my sword to the side, I barely avoided a heavy hit from a strange object!
Wait, why is it oozing even more blood?

The whole idea behind penguin and its specific sword came from my discord!
