One week later.
At the entrance of Aizu Village.
Zeros stood upright at the village entrance, wearing a long black robe. His handsome face was seriously. In front of him stood small mounds, each containing the body of a villager from Aizu Village.
"Dad, and everyone, I'm leaving!" Zeros said softly. He had made up his mind. Today, he would leave the village where he had grown up and go out into the world to see the big cities and big guilds that his father had talked about!
Of course, he had another goal in mind when he left: to find the man who had destroyed everything and kill him with his own hands as a sacrifice to Aizu Village!
Grim Reaper, Erigor!
The image of Erigor's ugly, cruel smile flashed through Zeros's mind, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, an uncontrollable killing intent rising within him.
At the very front of all the mounds, a pure silver samurai sword was stuck in the ground. Zeros's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled out the sword with a clang, holding it horizontally in front of him. Several cracks lights flashed on the silver blade.
This sword was the one that Zeros's father had wielded. Under the reverse flow of time, the originally broken sword was reassembled. Moreover, it seemed that because this sword was closest to Zeros, it underwent some transformation at the moment Zeros awakened, as it was baptized by the power of time.
At the junction of the hilt and the blade, there are fine lines, as if the cracks from the previous breakage had not completely disappeared. The lines intertwine, and the shape is somewhat like a lotus flower.
Unlike the silver-white blade, the lotus-shaped striped pattern presents a rich, bright red color, forming a striking contrast with the silver-white blade, yet adding a touch of allure.
This bright red color is as if the blood of its original owner flowed on it, never drying up!
Gazing at the knife, Zeros's eyes finally settled on the alluring red lotus pattern, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes before turning resolute.
"From this day forward, your name will be Absolute Blade!"
Seemingly sensing the absolute killing intent in Zeros's heart, the blade suddenly revealed a chilling and sharp aura, and the red lotus seemed to become even more vibrant.
After naming the sword, Zeros inserted it into a scabbard that was entirely black and had an antique appearance. As the sword was sheathed, the cold aura emanating from the blade subsided, and it became quite ordinary.
"The day you are drawn will be the day I slay Erigor!"
After speaking coldly, Zeros slung the knife behind his back, glanced longingly at Aizu Village, then pulled up the hood of his black robe to cover half his face, exuding an aura of indifference before turning and leaving.
