Chapter 13 - Ruinshard Blade

As Aldric ventured further into the secret path, he felt cold chills passing through his spine. "Should I go in?" he wondered, but suddenly, Aldric heard System's voice in his head: [A weapon with darkness element as its essence is found in the vicinity. The host is advised to retrieve the weapon, which will help the user in the future.]Aldric was shocked by this revelation but now he had clarity of what he needed to do. Excitement filled his eyes as he ventured deeper into the secret path. He soon reached a dead-end, where he found a big door with different engraved monsters on it, some of which were from legends. At the centre of all the engraving was a sword. "On the way here, I didn't notice, but the aura and mana here is way denser than the outside," thought Aldric.

While sorting his thoughts, Aldric felt a cold yet calm breeze passing through the door. "System said that in here is a sword, and Ruin letters on the wall I saw earlier described that here dwells calamity. What's going on here exactly?" thought Aldric. Gathering his resolve, Aldric pushed the door. At first, the door didn't budge, but then it moved like it was sliding on ice as if to welcome Abyss. After fully opening the door, Aldric saw a sword held by chains in the middle of an altar. The blade was glowing blackish purple, and it was giving off an aura of death, the same as G.O.D.

Aldric found himself transfixed by the sword, momentarily lost in its presence. Regaining his focus, he mused, "Man, just standing here, it feels like I am in the presence of G.O.D." After settling his thoughts, Aldric checked the room, and to his surprise, he found not only the sword but also the armour standing in the corner on an armour stand. It was so black that if Aldric hadn't fully explored the room, he would have missed it. "System, didn't you say that there was only a sword here? What is this armour doing here then?" asked Aldric.

"I cannot find any traces of mana in the armour, so I wasn't able to detect it," replied System to Aldric.

Finally, Aldric approached the altar and grabbed the sword by its hilt. Its hilt was dark black, and the sword blade was coming out of a dragon's mouth, which was fixed with the hilt. Aldric then tried to pull it off from the ground, but to his luck, he couldn't even make it budge a little. "Should I give up?" thought Aldric. "No, I won't give up in this life, especially," said Aldric, keeping himself motivated.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Aldric's mind. "Yes, I should use that," said Aldric. "System, do it," he instructed.

"Ok," replied System.

"War God berserk!" shouted Aldric and grabbed the sword again by its hilt. This time, the sword slowly started coming out of the ground. "Yes, I can do it," said Aldric to himself.

The sword was now fully out of the ground. As its sword tip left the ground, it sent shock waves around it, and Aldric was thrown back, hitting a wall. The chains that were once holding the sword now crumbled before Abyss's eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking War God's berserk Mode ability.]

[Congratulations to the host for setting free the Ruinshard Blade,]said System in Aldric's mind as he slowly passed out.
