The Dark Warrior

‘Sword of Darkness’ seemed to be an inside secret among members.

“The ‘Swords of Darkness’ were the swords owned by one of the legendary

‘Thirteen Heroes’.”

Peter said with a smile, but didn’t elaborate any further.

That’s too vague if he stops here… All I know is that the Thirteen Heroes were

heroes on another level that defeated the rampaging demon god 200 years ago.

I have no idea who the heroes were, or what equipment they had… Wil not

knowing these things cause me to lose face? Or should I pretend to know?

As Ainz was feeling troubled, Narberal interjected:

“What is that?”

Awesome. Ainz struck a victory pose in his mind, while the Sword of Darkness

members looked stunned.

Not knowing about the magic item they named themselves after might be a bit

shocking.

“So Nabel-chan doesn’t know. That understandable. Although he was one of the

Thirteen Heroes, he was branded as a vil ain because others believed him to be

of demonic descent. His part is often omitted when telling the tale of the

legendary heroes… He was said to be very powerful.”

“The Swords of Darkness were the four swords used by the ‘Dark Knight’ of the

thirteen heroes: The magic sword [Chil ing Lamp] can emit dark energy, wounds

caused by the corrosive sword [Crocodile] wil never heal, the death sword

[Space] is able to kil with a single scratch and then there’s the evil sword

[Malice] whose ability is unknown.

“Oh——”

Everyone smiled awkwardly at Narberal’s uninterested response.

Ainz tilted his head, deep in thought, since the description of these special

abilities felt familiar to him.

After thinking carefully, the image of a certain vampire popped into his head:

These special abilities were similar to Shalltear’s [Cursed Knight] class.

The lore behind the Cursed Knights was that they were cursed paladins, it was a

strong job in YGGDRASIL, but since it had a lot of shortcomings it wasn’t very

popular. Some of the skil s a Cursed Knight could learn included emitting a wave

of darkness, leaving wounds that couldn’t be healed by low-tier healing spells,

death curses, and so on.

Ainz squinted his il usionary eyes under his helmet, thinking that this couldn’t be

a coincidence. The Swords of Darkness might bestow special skil s similar to

those of a Cursed Knight, but there was a high chance that this hero had been a

Cursed Knight.

If that was the case, one of the prerequisites for becoming a Cursed Knight was

level 60, so the ‘Dark Knight’ had been at least level 60—— No, considering the

skil s he learned, he had been at least level 70.

The Demon God fought against such a hero, so their levels had to be about the

same. But Nigan from the Sunlight Scripture claimed his Dominion of Authority

defeated the Demon God, so the Demon God was not as strong as the heroes.

Judging from the intelligence he had collected, the most reasonable conclusion

was that the Demon God wasn’t too strong, but the only way of finding an

answer would be obtaining the sword or meeting that hero personally.

While Ainz was thinking, the group continued to chat. Ainz hurriedly focus his

attention on their conversation in order to not miss any chance of getting more

information.

“——Finding that is my first objective. There are many legendary weapons.

There are some that were proven to exist, but it is unknown if they stil exist

nowadays——”

“Ah, there is a person who already owns one of the Swords of Darkness.”

Enfrea casually dropped the bomb, making all the Sword of Darkness members

turn to him:

“Wh-who is it!”

“Wah! Really?! That means there are just three left!”

“Eh, now we can’t give one to each member…”

Enfrea answered cautiously:

“Ehm, there’s an adventurer group calling themselves the ‘Blue Rose’, their

captain has the sword.”

“Oh, if it’s that group of adamantium ranked adventurers, then it can’t be

helped.”

“That’s right. But since there are stil three swords left, let’s work hard and

become strong enough to obtain them all.”

“You are correct, since there is one, then the other three must exist as wel . I

hope those three are hidden in a place no one else can find until we discover

them.”

“Ninya, log this in your diary to avoid forgetting about this.”

“Understood, I wil pen it down. But that’s my private diary, shouldn’t you record

or remember it yourself?”

“Leaving a physical record behind is good!”

“Is that the issue? Dyne…”

“But we have this.”

“What’s that?”

“This, Momon-san.”

Peter took out a shortsword with four small jewels embedded in the hilt. He drew

it out to show its black sword body.

Before getting the real thing, we plan to use this as our symbol…”

“Calling ourselves ‘Blade of Darkness’ instead of ‘Sword of Darkness’ would be

fine. Anyway, there is no real or fake thing, this is undoubtedly the symbol of our

team!”
