Ashton could feel the Bone Scythe shivering in mad glee whilst in his hands and it greedily drank the blood of a Cherub.
This was the first 1st Sphere Angel that died under its blade and became a supplement for its growth. Additionally, it isn't just the blood of the angel that got absorbed. In a sense, her Soul was also being devoured by the scythe.
The blood of the Angels, from their own words, was holy and divine. Their very essence is contained in the blood that ran through their veins, so in a sense, if someone or something were to devour their blood, they would also devour their soul.
This is the reason why Ashton's victims couldn't be resurrected by others...
'Hmm...still pretty far from another upgrade I guess.' Ashton mused to himself while casting a short look on his scythe.
He then stared at the ground beneath him and said: "...good thing there's more on the way."
