The Hungry Blade

When Venerable Joshua initially deployed on the battlefield, he had high hopes about his performance.

The Bitter Scimitar had already proven to be an incredibly formidable weapon.

While it was also plagued by a spirit that was incredibly difficult to pacify, Venerable Joshua thought that the excitement of battle would focus its hostility towards the enemy instead of its wielder.

His assumptions turned out to be considerably off the mark!

The biggest problem was that the artifact spirit did not appear to understand how warfare in the Red Ocean was different from warfare in the Milky Way!

Everyone made much more extensive use of energy shields due to its obvious synergies with phasewater.

This happened to be a downer for the Bitter Swordsman as the demon-turned-artifact spirit still could not shed his hunger and desire to spill blood!
