This gem sword was part of the Soundless Cult's secret stash, which contained the entirety of a certain era of cultists' mana, by utilizing the magic ritual carved onto the surface of the sword, it could instantly infuse all of the sword's mana into a person's body.
Being stabbed by the sword, this zealous cultist's life signs quickly dwindled. As he was a living being, his counterpart in the aspect of silence should be a non-living shadow; and his body after death should have a counterpart in the aspect of silence as a living creature.
This was the natural transition between life and death, but right at this very moment, when the cultist was lingering on the border of living and nonliving, the huge amount of warped mana caused him to undergo an unusual change: he was now no longer a living being, nor a non-living object.
