Seeing James draw his Blade of Justice, Delainey felt compelled to ask, “Mr. Caden, is that your Blade of Justice?”
“Yep.” James nodded at her.
Delainey glanced at the plain-looking sword in James’ hand. She thought for a while and said, “From what I understand, this sword is a legendary sword forged by swordsmiths from all over the world during the time of King Quavon.
“The sword is meant to represent absolute and supreme power.
“In ancient times, its wielder could kill without first justifying their actions.
“It’s an exceptional sword. I’ve read records about it in ancient books. After the dynasty collapsed, the sword was lost, and it eventually ended up with a master swordsmith. The swordsmith was afraid it would fall into a wicked person's hands and pose a danger to the world. So, he used special materials to recast the sword and never proceeded with the final refinement.”
“Is that so?”
James was amazed by the information Delainey had shared.
He knew the history of the Blade of Justice but was unaware that it still had a cast around its blade.
Delainey nodded lightly, “Mhm. It’s said to have been cast with unique material to conceal the sword’s true sharpness. However, I’m not sure about the veracity of this statement. I simply read about it once in an untitled ancient book. It might be fake since if this sword was the same one from that dynasty, it wouldn’t have become Sol’s Blade of Justice. It would instead belong to another top martial artist of that time.”
James intently scrutinized the sword in his hand.
It looked just like an ordinary iron sword.
Apart from having a sharp edge, there seemed to be nothing special about it.
He thought for a while and asked, “Does it mention how to get off the cast?”
Delainey replied, “Show me the sword.”
James handed over the Blade of Justice.
Delainey took it, felt its heft in her hands, and inspected its appearance.
The sword was not heavy and was considered light compared to other legendary swords, but it had a slightly thicker blade.
“Hmm… Maybe those stories might be real.”
After inspecting the sword carefully, Delainey said, “A mysterious material is covering the blade of the sword. If I remember correctly, you’ll need to concentrate True Energy to break the cast covering the sword.”
“Is that so?” James muttered doubtfully.
“Yes, it is. You should give it a try, Mr. Caden.” Delainey passed the Blade of Justice back to James.
James took the sword and activated Heavenly Breath.
His True Yang Energy surged through his meridians and concentrated in his palm, transforming into intense and concentrated True Energy that shined like golden light.
