dragon bones and Lapis Lazuli which no
one had ever been able to draw the
second was a pair of exceedingly long
swords point1 was encrusted with jewels
appearing exceptionally dazzling while
the other was plain and unadorned
inscribed with incantations the Royal
official managing the treasury an
elderly gentleman was the first to
pledge his loyalty to OZO eagerly
introducing him to the treasures within
the treasury this jewel encrusted sword
is worth a fortune it could purchase an
entire city I asked that all yes that is
all what of the other sword
this sword is known as slains cursed
blade you must have heard of the name
slain I have not get to the point slain
was an extraordinarily powerful dark
sorcerer and it is said that those
wounded by this sword will be eternally
plagued by Misfortune tell me more about
slain your majesty slain is a notorious
dark sorcerer it is rumored that his
dark magic is immensely powerful capable
of commanding demons and devouring their
strength he was once a magical
instructor at the Royal magic Academy of
Soul City but was expelled for dabbling
in dark magic thus began his nefarious
life upon gaining power he returned to
destroy Soul City and single-handedly
defeated the hell Army and my youth I
once heard a Bard recount his judgment
energy arrows forged from boundless
Darkness stre through the sky raining
down upon prosperous cities a sea of
purple energy turned the land to
scorched Earth and tens of thousands of
souls vanished Without a Trace in an
instant he ly sneezed and we would
huddle on the ground fearing the arrows
that pierced the daylight would descend
upon us he was a creature more
terrifying than demons an apostle of the
Underworld the root of Darkness the
Ashen Walker slain upon hearing this OZO
grasped slain cursed blade intrigued
interesting since this slain is so
formidable how did you manage to acquire
this sword the old man raised his head
your majesty slain has been dead for
over 800 years oh oo frowned how did he
die the old man furrowed his brow
racking his brain heam your majesty I am
not quite certain I can only share what
I know please do not think I am speaking
nonsense this is merely what I have
heard it is said that slain fought
against the prince of death and was
pierced upon the gravestone of yasaka
slain was cursed by the death Prince for
seeeing his impending demise he prepared
a resurrection ritual for himself
however for reasons unknown his ritual
fil
thus he perished it is said that he even
dug his own grave in advance and
inscribed all his forbidden magic upon
the stone tablet within but to this day
no one has ever found his tomb slain OZO
fell silent for a long while what was
his level of power in life the old man
hesitated I doubt I do not know but some
say slain was powerful enough to rival
deities rival deities excluding the
exaggerated rumors how strong was this
slain I cannot evaluate for I am
uncertain how this world delineates
strength the power structure here is
exceedingly vague lacking any unified or
standardized classification how do you
know he could rival deities has he
fought against a deity yes yes the death
Prince is indeed a God how many gods
exist in this world the old man was
taken AB how could I possibly know that
your majesty I only know of the
existence of the nine Gods as for the
rest asking me would be feudal oo took
up up the Scabbard of the cursed sword
and waved his hand to depart his
understanding of this world was still
too limited he must seek out someone
well versed and knowledgeable for proper
guidance of course oo's intention in
doing so was also to ascertain just how
strong he had become after OZO left the
old man let out a sigh of relief and
hastily grasped the jewel en crusted
