yup, it's that sword which requires a top tier scabbard like Shiro. I wonder how Relius compares to him.

Chapters are to dang short its almost better to wait 6 months before actually reading anything it just fragments the story to much that it becomes boring. I do appreciate the updates and the work the translation team is doing so thank you

 

[Wyrm]

10 pages per chapter.
The author doesn't seem to push himself too hard there.

Author needs to stop with the tiny chapters. We need more of those glorious blue stone thighs.

I was gonna say "haha, of course they still give her light skin on her thighs instead of the crackly void skin the other blue stone heroes had, gotta keep her hot"

and then the hood came off and she's hardly even got the spooky skin anymore except for a sans eye, lmao.

So this is coming to an end fairly soon, I imagine? We've solved Blue Stones, and there's been a big betrayal. I imagine Relius fights off whatever entity bestows weapons on people and then saves the world or something?

Crackly void skin seems like it's a form of protective coating from the blue stone more than anything. That or a deliberate visual trick for manga, where a visual representation is required but unlike in writing you cannot obfuscate how they look without using such tricks.

Not necessarily a contradiction for the sake of aesthetics.

Maybe the other one was a prototype and this one was a better blue stone.
The previous blacksmith originally intended the blue stone as a mean to revive the dead or prevent death, not alter the subject. And this was unprecedented research, so there might have been several prototypes and he saved the finished product for his preferred hero.

Or maybe this one was stronger so the dehumanizing effect of the blue stone was weaker in comparison. (Probably this option.)
After all, it is mentioned that the effect was different on the various subject. From slight alterations to complete monsterization.
If this is the case... this stoned heroine (yes, pun intended... and yes, I know where the door is) is definitely more dangerous than any seen before.

It's not just a writers' trick to obfuscate the truth of it, because the cerberus had it full-body too. If it was just a way to hide the truth from readers, there would be nothing lost from having a cerberus with normal-colored fur (since having that hero turn into a cerberus was how the author obfuscated their identity).

I would maybe be fine with this (that she always looked different than the others due to being more complete) if not for that she's shown earlier, and in this chapter, with the black crackly skin + eyes under the hood, so this is a change made for the end of this chapter. And it doesn't seem like it's just convenient shadow or something, because we see that her left+right eyes look the same beforehand (glowing white with crackly bits), where after the reveal her left eye is essentially normal (and while we can't see the right one, it's emitting some form of evil energy). It really just feels like now that she's getting actual screentime now, the author decided to give her a more unique design for the heck of it.
