Chapter 344 - 297 : Final Showdown 1 (1/2)

As the inhabitants of Earth were terrified of the sudden Darkness that covered the whole planet for a short period of time, Makaze's move only added more fear to them, especially the strong Heroes, who were robbed of their swords.

Their weapons refused to obey them and simply flew out of their sheaths and disappeared far away.

The old man next to Lucy gazed at the countless swords with the dark blade in the center of a frown on his face. Although he was certain that such an attack can't harm him, it was still a rare thing to see a blade do this on its own.

To demonstrate such pressure and firepower without its partner and master, who is supposed to be the only one who can wield it to its maximum potential, is not something that could be seen every day.

Actually, it's the first time Sloth has seen a strange blade like this.

”You truly find the most fascinating things in the loneliest places. *sigh*”

The old man let out a long sigh as he saw the countless blades disappear as a malicious dark flame destroyed them and transformed into a mysterious speck of darkness that devoured all the light around it.

Very soon, all the swords were burned and fused into a fist-sized sphere that resembled a miniature black hole. This sphere, that was created from the accumulated essence of countless swords, rotated around dark blade until it turned into a sheath, however, due to the severe lack of this essence, the sheath was illusory and flickering as if it'll disappear in any given second.

Just as this happened, a notification popped before the old man

*The Dark Blade's Oath has taken effect. You have been marked by Makaze, evil wind.

You cannot remove the Dark Blade's Mark.

The dark blade will know your location wherever you are.

The dark blade will deal 10% more damage to you.

The Oath will not disappear until the marked individual is dead.

You will receive double the damage if you receive dark or lightning-related attacks from Makaze.

WARNING: The destruction of Makaze will not remove the mark.

WARNING: Due to the absence of Arthur MoonStar, the blade can only demonstrate 50% of its power.*

'Bloody hell!'

Sloth stood there, dumbstruck by what his eyes have just seen.

”A-an oath?”

Before the old man could comprehend why Makaze bound to an Oath and why does it actually exist, the threatening katana left its sheath and slashed down vertically toward Sloth.

Surprisingly, the environment wasn't affected nor space was broken, however, Sloth felt instinctive fear from that simple-looking slash that didn't even emit pressure or look domineering.
