From behind the escapees of hell, Hades maintained his sinister grin, eager to find out if any of the masters were truly willing to use the soul slayer blade.
Khalid saw the confidence in Hades' smile that he asked, "Why are you so confident? What if they really have the soul slayer blade? Would that mean the end of your terror?"
A malevolent laugh escaped his lips as he leaned his body back to accommodate a more powerful roar. Only after settling his excitement did he reveal, "The user of the soul slayer cannot simply use the blade. A sacrifice has to be made, and I doubt they are willing to do so."
Little did he know that the will of the masters was stronger than his greed and corruption. In fact, the chosen wielder of the sword was ready to make that sacrifice.
