I crushed the lances with my free hand and slammed onto the ground.
Gritting my teeth, I tore the jagged fragments from my forearm, a spray of blood following.
A vein of crimson energy emerged from the katana, slithering from my hand toward the injuries on my arm. It burrowed into the open wounds, igniting a sharp, agonising pain throughout my arm.
The crimson veins glowed dim one second and brighter the next as they absorbed the blood from my wounds.
With just a few drops, the blade in my hand screeched violently, its edge turning sharper than ever before.
The blade became so thin that I couldn't even see it when placed vertically before my eyes, yet the metal remained as sturdy as ever.

Curse of Binding is activated!
Curse of Binding: Shinku no Sabi is bound to the Host until the Host's wounds are fully closed. During the binding, the sword will continuously absorb the Host's blood."
