Gorehew

*Rip and tear.*

## Summary

Gorehew is a medium-quality Strength based E-Grade skill meant for large bladed weapons that could be used repeatedly in battle that Zac acquired from the Eldritch Archivals of the Twilight Harbor. The skills creates a very large jagged edge around his axe.

Gorehew evolved to Fatehew due to the influence of a line of deathly starlight imparted by Princess Ur'Mez during Zac's awakening of his Draugr bloodline, altered by a shadow of Eoz, and guided by Zac's Dao Mold.

## Skill Location

**Not Stated.**

* *No textual information.*

## Skill Window

**[E] Gorehew** - Proficiency: Early. **[Chapter 826]** *Rip and tear.* Upgradeable. Discord

## Acquisition

* Zac perused the store for an hour and settled on two more skills for himself. The first was called **[Gorehew]**, a pure Strength-based Medium E-grade skill meant for axes, two-handed swords, polearms, and other larger bladed weapons. It was meant as an upgrade for **[Unholy Strike]** since Zac had essentially given up on that skill. **Book 8, Page 28**

## Early Proficiency

* **[Gorehew]** could be used repeatedly in battle, just like **[Nature’s Edge]**. **Book 8, Page 29**
* As he slaughtered enemies with the skill, the attack would gain a temporary boost in power and area of effect. The boost was also stackable to a degree. **Book 8, Page 29**

## Middle/Late Proficiency

* An odd sensation made Zac look inward, and he was both surprised and delighted to see lines being added to more than one of his skills. In fact, most of his skills were evolving, proving just how powerful the altar was. **Chapter 897**

## Peak Proficiency

* Four chains dripping with corrosion shot forward, forming a deadly prison as the jagged edge of **[Gorehew]** appeared. The skill hadn't changed much since reaching peak mastery. It only built upon what it already had. The jagged edge was sharper, heavier, and could absorb blood far more efficiently in a protracted war. **Chapter 1,005**

## D-Grade Evolution

* The line of deathly starlight surrounding **[Gorehew]** had an ethereal aura of Fate and Death, marking it as the work of Ur'Mez. **Chapter 1,090**
* However, he could feel their complex patterns and exquisite balance, knowing his two bought skills had gone from something he'd picked up in a Frontier Repository to proper Peak-quality D-grade skills. **Chapter 1,091**
* *Became Fatehew*.

## Commentary

* Overall, a decent skill to clear out a large number of weak enemies at a low cost when his tactic of whittling down enemies was a waste of time. **Book 8, Page 29**
* Zac didn’t have any plans on using it in the future. It was simply a temporary skill that would serve him well until he reached the D-grade. **Book 8, Page 29**
* That was enough for Zac to catch up, and a five-meter jagged scar of pitch-black ichor hacked into the warrior’s defensive barrier, instantly cutting it in two. Another hack with **[Gorehew]** ended the man’s life, and the last two attackers were firmly caught. **Book 8, Page 53**
* The black jagged edge of **[Gorehew]** transformed a bit, with sharp barbs appearing across the jagged edge. **Book 8, Page 178**
* A jagged scar appeared in front of Zac’s bardiche from activating **[Gorehew]** as he closed the last of the distance. **Book 8, Page 295**
* An acute sense of danger warned him that things had just begun, and a ruthless jagged edge shimmering in opalescence ripped the air in two as Zac activated **[Gorehew]** and instilled it with the Branch of the War Axe. **Book 9, Page 110**
* On top of that, the Miasmic edge of **[Gorehew]** was essentially cursed with Creation, prompting every strike to leave some taint behind. **Book 9, Page 110**
* It was hard to be certain since he was still unaccustomed to using skills in his limited form, but Zac believed the blade was a bit sturdier than it should be. Was this the effect of his Draugr node, **[Adamance of Eoz]**? **Book 9, Page 453**
* If **[Gorehew]** was good at taking out weaker enemies, then **[Blighted Cut]** had become a terror for infighting, which was perfect for Zac who had spent years working on his technique. **Chapter 849**
* Zac was currently towering over four meters into the air after having activated **[Arbiter of the Abyss]**, and the huge blade of **[Gorehew]** was no longer comically oversized. **Chapter 925**
