Akhil's blade cut through the air, leaving behind a faint streak of white light.

Blood sprayed as the beast's neck split open. Its body collapsed, twitching for a second before going still.
Akhil kicked the carcass aside and pulled his dagger free, the blade slick with crimson. The warm blood clung to his clothes, but he barely noticed.

A pulse of energy rushed through his veins as a red mist seeped into his body.

{Wind ability detected! +5 to Wind Affinity.}
{Blood Essence: 8000/10,000.}
